However, compared to the other Shichibukai...
Dracule Mihawk, however, is an exception.
If the other Shichibukai relied on the strength of their group to secure their positions...
So Dracule Mihawk got to this point entirely through his own strength.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of the World's Greatest Swordsman in the New World.
To become a transcendent being.
However, when the pirates along the way saw Dracule Mihawk's coffin boat heading towards the end of the direction, a huge pirate ship emerged.
The pirate flag fluttering in the sea breeze atop the mast caused everyone's pupils to contract sharply.
Especially when looking at that skull flag, there were three claw marks across the left eye.
Anyone who isn't an idiot could instantly recognize the origin of this ship.
One of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks!
The Four Emperors and the Shichibukai are currently meeting.
Both of them were indeed pirates.
However, one is an enemy that claims to be Marine Headquarters and the World Government.
One is an ally of the World Government, and one of the Shichibukai.
The two sides are clearly at odds.
They can still meet openly and legitimately now.
Aren't you really worried that the World Government and the Marine Headquarters won't be annoyed?
A jumble of thoughts flashed through the minds of many pirates.
Watching the figures gradually emerge on the deck of the Red Force.
These pirates, still harboring covetous intentions, finally lost their patience and turned to flee.
This is a meeting between Four Emperors and Shichibukai.
If you're not careful, you might hear something terrible.
Then they'll be silenced!
Looking at the sea that had been cleared out in an instant, Red-Haired Shanks, standing on the deck surrounded by the crowd, glanced around and said with a smile.
" Mihawk, I didn't expect you to come to me so openly. Aren't you worried that the Five Elders will have a problem with you and take back your position as Shichibukai?"
As one of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, despite being a junior, managed to break the stalemate created by the Three Emperors.
This is enough to show that he is not simple.
The Five Elders' initial intention in establishing the Shichibukai was undoubtedly to restrain the Four Emperors of the Sea.
Dracule Mihawk usually meets him from time to time.
However, they always kept a very low profile.
This time, they made such a high-profile, public appearance.
As Dracule Mihawk's close friend.
Red-Haired Shanks knew perfectly well that what Dracule Mihawk was plotting was no small matter.
" Red-Haired, don't worry, if the Five Elders find out this time, they'll be very happy."
Dracule Mihawk spoke with a completely indifferent expression.
With a swift movement, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.
He reappeared, now standing beside Red-Haired Shanks.
If this kind of sudden action were done by someone else...
Benn Beckman and the others had already drawn their weapons.
However, he is a member of Red-Haired Shanks ' crew.
They also knew about the relationship between Dracule Mihawk and Red-Haired.
Therefore, in the face of such reckless behavior...
They didn't take it to heart, simply standing aside with curious expressions.
I'm eager to know why Dracule Mihawk went to this place.
" Mihawk, are you trying to make me guess a riddle?"
Red-Haired Shanks chuckled dryly.
"We just met five days ago, and you already miss me? You're not planning to ask me to help you find out if that brat is alive or dead, are you?"
"Don't worry, if that brat isn't dead, I'll definitely let you know as soon as I find any clues."
"As for whether you want to fight him then, that's your own business."
"However, that brat was forced to jump into the sea by Kaido, so he did have a chance of survival. But now that five days have passed, the chances have become slim."
I advise you not to get your hopes up too high.
"I feel that my judgment was correct, and I plan to once again place my hopes on Luffy."
Red-Haired Shanks, was also paying attention to Bai Yu.
However, as time went by, this attention also weakened.
Most importantly, as a rising star, he became one of the Four Emperors.
Red-Haired Shanks still trusted his own judgment.
I don't believe I bet on the wrong era.
" Shanks, it seems you're still blind. The era you bet on is nothing compared to him."
Dracule Mihawk's hawk-like eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he spoke coldly.
"That brat has been found."
"No, it should be said that he showed up on his own initiative."
"A day ago, former Navy Marine Admiral Zephyr accepted the Five Elders' order to invite Whitebeard Jr. Edward Weevil, to become Shichibukai."
"Unfortunately, he was attacked by Weevil and nearly killed."
"At the critical moment, Bai Yu descended from the sky, killing Edward Weevil with a single strike and saving Zephyr and the other recruits in time."
What!
The expressions of those present changed drastically at once.
Even Benn Beckman, with a cigar in his mouth, was no exception.
The composure that usually graced his face vanished instantly.
Originally, in Benn Beckman's eyes, he was the same as Red-Haired Shanks.
As time went by, Bai Yu still hadn't appeared.
They also brought up Luffy's role in the new era again.
However, this was something they hadn't expected at all.
Dracule Mihawk, with just a few words, can deliver such explosive intelligence.
Most importantly, Bai Yu not only came to life in the story.
Upon his reappearance, he once again killed the Shichibukai chosen by the Five Elders.
Moreover, it was a single, fatal blow.
" Mihawk, this news of yours isn't fake, is it?"
Red-Haired Shanks was the first to lose his composure.
"We didn't receive this message at all just a day ago..."
As one of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks is indeed a rising star.
However, we still have some confidence in building our intelligence network.
Now, Dracule Mihawk immediately declared that Bai Yu was not dead, and had even killed a formidable opponent.
Red-Haired Shanks, seriously doubted whether his old friend was overthinking things.
Dracule Mihawk ignored the questioning looks and continued speaking coldly.
" Shanks, it's not surprising that you didn't know about this. The Marine Headquarters had already blocked information about his appearance because they were worried that Kaido of the Beasts would go berserk again and hunt him down."
"These are the Five Elders, informing us Shichibukai. Ostensibly, they're worried we might encounter Bai Yu's ambush."
"However, the real purpose is probably not that simple."
"So, you don't need to worry about the veracity of this information; that brat is indeed not dead."
Red-Haired Shanks and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they all fell silent.
