" Observation Haki is really troublesome..."
Robin's clone rose from the ruins and rubble.
She didn't answer Mihawk's question, but instead dusted herself off. "If that's the case, how would you, sir, respond?"
Two more exoskeleton clones appeared around them.
Mihawk frowned, his body immediately enveloped in Armament Haki: "Once they know your true form, these clones should crumble on their own, right?"
He then swung his large Black Blade, Night, and leaped into the air, the blade flashing like a storm in an instant.
Click...
Boom boom boom...
The three clones were instantly torn to pieces by the dense slashing waves.
The entire ruined island was cut into pieces.
Robin's Human Flowering technique was also ineffective against Mihawk, who was completely covered in Armament Haki.
However, despite such a terrible attack, the hidden Robin still did not reveal herself.
Mihawk's eyes narrowed as he looked at the lake on the island, which he had subconsciously ignored. "Can ability users swim too?"
He instantly imbued his Conqueror's Haki, and with a mighty slash, he aimed at the barrier lake in the middle of the island. "Come out!"
boom!
The landslide-dammed lake on the island was instantly divided in two.
At this point, Robin, who had been hiding there, finally had no choice but to come out.
"Why would someone as intelligent as you choose such a deadly path?" Robin surfaced from the lake on the island.
The exoskeleton on his face was affected by the slash, and a small part of it cracked open. Robin muttered to herself as she pinched the remaining exoskeleton mask.
Click!
The mask was crushed.
Among the scattered fragments, a delicate yet sculpted face and a pair of deep-set eyes were revealed.
Mihawk's eyes narrowed in mid-air. " The Devil Child? Nico Robin!"
The soft whispers echoed across the empty island.
"Day after day of training, a will forged through countless trials, the constant review and reinforcement of knowledge from Ohara, coupled with the guidance of that great man..."
Robin looked up at the cloudless sky and the scorching yet serene the Sun: "This is life under the sun! The life I once longed for but could never have, I can finally use my own strength to chase after the Sun's warmth."
"..." Mihawk stared silently at the woman before him.
A dangerous aura was slowly awakening within this woman.
It seems like we've reached a critical point.
Boom! A crimson Conqueror's Haki shot into the sky.
Crack... The surrounding rocks instantly shattered, revealing a spiderweb-like pattern.
Mihawk's expression grew increasingly serious. He hadn't expected that this cunning and treacherous woman could Awakening Conqueror's Haki, and that its intensity was so high once Awakening.
"Breaking away the mask of pretense and facing my own heart, I realized I truly yearn for the light. That sage was right; only by confronting fear can one become stronger..."
"With such ambition, you shouldn't be joining the Sky Empire..." Mihawk said, voicing his inner unease.
"Is that so? Sometimes the eyes can deceive you. Let me see just how sharp the sword of the World's Greatest Swordsman really is!"
Robin crossed his arms over his chest.
"Ultimate Body - Flower the Devil!"
When the Devil Gene Armor covered her entire body, Robin reached a height of 3.14 meters, with a golden ratio physique. Her exoskeleton exuded a wild, ferocious, and destructive aura.
" Devil Fruit Awakening?" Mihawk was on high alert.
"To thank you for helping me understand myself, I will give it my all..."
The words had barely left his mouth when Robin was still standing there.
However, Mihawk, carrying the Night Blade, retreated several hundred meters, the blade of his parrying blade bending sharply as if it had been struck by something.
Boom! Mihawk's feet plunged into the rock, and he slid backward for more than a hundred meters before finally coming to a stop.
As soon as he stopped, he quickly swung his knife diagonally to the left front.
Robin's body split open automatically, and the slash passed through the crack.
"Flower's Thunder Skin - Magnetic Field Disruption!"
Mihawk sensed the chaos in the surrounding atmosphere, and his Observation Haki began to fail.
The next moment, Hair Flower sprouted from his back. Mihawk immediately gathered his Conqueror's Haki and expelled the Hair Flower that had suddenly appeared on his back.
Boom! He was struck in the face by a fist, his body rolled dozens of times, and crashed into the sea.
"Cough cough..."
" The Hair Snake Den!"
While in the sea, Mihawk suddenly sensed dense snakes emerging from his surroundings. He activated his Conqueror's Haki once more and wielded Night Slash.
The seawater was instantly carved into dozens of grooves.
" Bone Flower - The Other Shore!"
Bone spikes emerged from all directions, surrounding Mihawk.
Mihawk's forehead veins bulged. "Polar Night!"
Click...
A fissure tens of meters wide was cleaved open in the Bone Spike Hell, Mihawk quickly leaped out, unleashing a dozen powerful slashes at the same time.
" Flower World: Mandala!"
Flowers begin to bloom at the tips of the bone spurs, and pollen drifts in the wind.
" Dawn!" Mihawk swept a gust of wind with the blade, clearing away all the pollen, then swung his sword again. " First Sun!"
The ultimate slash, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, seemed poised to tear the heavens apart.
" Bone Flower - Ivy!"
More than a dozen bone chains emerged from behind Robin, shooting out and instantly extending into ferocious bone tigers from the ends of the chains, which were wrapped around Conqueror's Haki.
roar!
Boom boom boom...
" Hair Flower - Rain Needle!"
" Midheaven!"
A barrage of needles, imbued with Armament Haki and poison, rained down from the sky towards the ground.
The tornado-like slash whipped up the hairpins and Reflection back towards Robin's location.
Instead of retreating, Robin advanced, transforming into a shower of flower petals.
"Flower of the Body - Cherry Blossom Blizzard!"
Cherry blossom petals, like sharp blades, were wrapped with Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and deadly poison, sweeping towards Mihawk.
" Setting Sun!"
Mihawk unleashed a dazzling and dense barrage of slashes.
A relentless and high-intensity battle.
It lasted for a day and a night.
Even Mihawk, a general of Admiral caliber, was feeling exhausted, not only physically but also mentally.
He hadn't expected Robin to be so terrifying; her stamina seemed inexhaustible, and her wide-ranging attacks were relentless, forcing Mihawk to constantly run for his life.
This was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent since his debut.
Even when fighting against Marine Admiral, Mihawk had never felt this tired.
He was clearly unaware of Robin's stamina; within the entire Noah Family, she was the only one who didn't need to use Vivre Card to replenish it.
Because she can quickly replenish her energy by eating in her clone.
At this moment, in the Fusang Province of the Sky Empire, dozens of chefs were sweating profusely as they cooked Sea Kings meat chops.
On the dining table not far away, various high-energy foods were piled up. Behind Robin's clone, vines resembling the Stomach Baron grew, and at the top of the vines were carnivorous flowers with their gaping maws.
That's what makes Robin so terrifying.
She can fight outside while simultaneously feasting and drinking at her base camp through her clones; in this state, her main body possesses virtually unlimited stamina.
Although mental fatigue can prevent the use of Haki attacks at a high intensity, ordinary ultimate moves can still be used without restraint.
This is the sense of pressure Mihawk felt when facing Robin.
The moves were unpredictable.
Its attack is powerful.
Amazing endurance.
Even the three CP0 members who were secretly lurking nearby had solemn expressions. They were now feeling uneasy, having lost their initial confidence and assurance.
After discovering Robin's true identity, they originally planned to take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack and eliminate this archaeologist who could read the Poneglyph.
However, after observing the battle for a day and a night, they no longer dared to even think about launching a sneak attack.
