"Do you have something else to do?"
"No. It's just that if we keep fighting like this, another whole day won't change anything."
Adrian sheathed Yubashiri.
"Let's save the real contest for the Sword Trial Tournament."
Mihawk tightened his grip on the blunt, rounded hilt of his Cross Sword and nodded seriously.
What the two top Great Swordmasters had just tested against each other was nothing more than the most basic sword techniques.
A real battle between swordsmen would never be limited to that!
Adrian waved, turned, and headed out of the church.
"Prepare well over the next few days, Dracule Mihawk.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this Sword Trial Tournament should crown the [World's Greatest Swordsman]!"
Mihawk swung his Cross Sword behind his back.
"I was thinking exactly the same thing!"
Adrian stepped out of the church into the sunlight.
A new mission notification suddenly appeared on the panel.
[You have triggered the S-Rank Random Mission [World's Greatest Swordsman]!] [Mission overview: Omitted] [Mission hint: I shall follow this path to the very end.] [Mission objective: Reach the summit!] [Mission rewards: 6 billion EXP, five random rewards, and one World Legend Point!]
The belated Red Hair Pirates
A new S-Rank Random Mission?
Adrian kept walking into the sunlight as he carefully read the mission information on the panel.
"Follow this path to the very end"... Does that mean I can only use swordsmanship-related abilities to complete this S-Rank mission?
That fits the plan perfectly. Why else would I put on a mask and adopt an alias, if not to show—
Because the Sword Trial Tournament is a contest purely between swordsmen. I never intended to use my Devil Fruit abilities in the first place.
And these rewards...
*Six billion EXP is a little less than Mermaid's Lament, but more
