The Navy on the Back Foot! Rono Makes His Move

Momousagi! Chaton!

The two had originally been assigned to guard duty, in case another Great Pirate tried to exploit the Navy's weakened defenses while it concentrated its forces here.

That was why neither of them had appeared at the public execution in the original story.

But plans had fallen apart. The war had changed so drastically that they had no choice but to abandon their assignment and come defend Marineford!

"This is insane! They've gathered so many legends."

"Even the Shichibukai have switched sides... Is the Most Evil Criminal really that feared?"

Momousagi and Chaton arrived at Marineford alongside Zephyr!

Even these two Admiral Candidates were stunned by the sight before them!

So many legendary pirates, and the Shichibukai on top of them, had all become crewmates aboard the same ship!

Perhaps only the Rocks Pirates, known as the Most Heinous Pirate Crew in History, could rival the Godslayer Pirates now!

"Dracule Mihawk, I'll stop you!"

Momousagi, a swordswoman herself, immediately went after Hawk-Eye!

She drew her Famous Sword, Kompira, and clashed with his Black Blade Yoru!

Two Great Swordmasters faced off!

Haki and Sword Aura collided at their limits!

The shockwave blew away every weaker marine and pirate nearby!

"Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral and Admiral Candidate Momousagi... A rare opponent!"

Hawk-Eye recognized his opponent the moment he saw her.

"Oh? You've heard of me, Hawk-Eye?"

Frustration colored Momousagi's voice.

As a swordswoman, she had long wanted to challenge and defeat Hawk-Eye!

Now that they were enemies, she had even more reason to beat him!

"How could I not have heard of you?"

Hawk-Eye's tone remained calm. His opponent was a woman, but that made no difference!

Once they stepped onto the battlefield as fellow swordsmen, gender meant nothing!

Hawk-Eye was always glad to face anyone strong enough to fight
