At sea with the Straw Hats, Haru and Zoro are lying down, Nami is on a beach chair (seriously), and Luffy is carrying a box of cannonballs.
Some time later, Zoro and Haru wake up to the sound of a cannon shot.
Wow, I missed, Luffy said.
What are you guys doing? Zoro asked.
Practicing shooting, but it's harder than I thought, Luffy said.
I told you, let me show you how it's done, Usopp said, pointing to himself.
Haru lets it go and goes to check the shop.
I still have 140,000 tokens. This world has a lot of opponents; I need combat skills.
[Skill Shop]
[Hand-to-Hand Combat: 10,000]
[Weapon Master: 100,000]
"There's a lot, but I'll just take these two.
[At what speed do you wish to learn?]
[Fast: seconds, intense pain]
[Normal: 5 hours, pain]
[Slow: 1 day, mild pain]
"I'll go with slow.
[Skills being learned]
[Hand-to-Hand Combat]
[Weapon Master]
[Estimated Time: 24 hours]
Then Haru started feeling a mild headache about hand-to-hand combat and various weapon techniques.
"This annoying pain is going to take a while.
Suddenly, Haru heard someone step onto the ship and kick the barrels.
Get out, pirates! A man shouted.
What?! Who are you? Luffy asked, opening the kitchen door.
Shut up! The man shouted. It doesn't matter who I am! The man yelled, attacking Luffy.
How many of them are there?! Zoro asked Nami and Usopp, who were watching the commotion from the kitchen window.
Uh… just one? Nami replied.
Then let him be, Zoro said.
I've killed countless pirates! But a nobody like you dares try to kill my partner?! The man said. Zoro recognized the voice.
What partner? I don't even know what you're talking about, but don't mess with our ship! Luffy said, stretching his arm, grabbing the man's head, and throwing him back, defeating him.
What's his deal? Luffy said to no one.
Hey, you! Is your name Johnny? Zoro asked.
Who are you, how dare you call me by my first name like that? After a moment, Johnny saw, Buddy Zoro!
So it's you, Johnny, Zoro said.
Why are you here, buddy?
Where's Yosaku? Isn't he with you? Zoro asked.
You know each other? Luffy asked.
That's obvious, Captain, Haru said.
Nami and Usopp, still inside the kitchen, were wondering if they knew each other.
Johnny took Zoro to the side of the ship where a rope was tied to a small boat. In that boat was a man in bad shape, breathing heavily.
After taking Yosaku to the ship, Johnny explained his situation.
Then Nami arrived.
What idiocy, she said.
What? Zoro said.
Nami started messing with Yosaku's tongue and opened his eye.
Then Johnny grabbed her and said, You crazy woman, what are you doing to my partner? I'll kill you!
Luffy! Usopp! There are some lemons down there, right? Can you hear me? Bring them here, now! Nami ordered, and both said, Yes, at the same time.
After bringing the lemon, Nami made the two idiots squeeze it into Yosaku's mouth.
He has scurvy, Nami said.
Scurvy? Johnny asked.
He's in time; he'll recover in a few days, Nami said.
Soon after, Yosaku got up, and the two idiot hunters started celebrating.
After Nami yelled at them, the two introduced themselves. When Zoro went to greet them, Yosaku collapsed on the ship's deck.
At night, with Yosaku in bed, the others were in the kitchen. Luffy decided they needed a cook. Haru was sleeping in the corner.
[Scene change]
It's daytime, and Haru wakes up to the sound of a ship.
Looking around, he saw the restaurant and the damn Marine ship making noise.
I am Lieutenant Fullbody Iron Fist of the Marines. Who is your captain? Show yourself!
I'm Luffy! / I'm Usopp!
Our flag was made yesterday, Luffy said.
I made it, Usopp said.
No, I'm sure it was me, Haru said from behind Usopp, startling him.
What's wrong with you guys? But I've seen these two before. You call yourselves pirate hunters, right? Looks like you finally caught some, the lieutenant said.
Then a blonde called him to go. Haru locked eyes on her.
I'll show you what we pirate hunters do! Johnny said, throwing a bunch of wanted posters.
Nami went to look at the posters. Haru saw one of a fish-man and wondered if it tasted good.
Then the Marines aimed their cannons at Luffy's ship.
They're aiming at us, Usopp said.
They fired, but Luffy stopped it. However, it went straight for the restaurant. Moments later, cooks from the restaurant came looking for Luffy.
[Scene change]
After the two idiots fixed what they destroyed, the Straw Hats took a small boat and headed to the restaurant.
As they were tying up the boat, they heard something breaking inside the restaurant.
"Probably Sanji pissing off the stupid lieutenant.
When they entered the restaurant, they saw a fight.
Is it a fight? Zoro said.
While watching the fight, Luffy fell from the roof with a chef.
Haru ignored the whole fight and sat at an empty table. As Haru ignored everything, a Marine came in talking about a fugitive. Then he was shot in the back. The pirate went to a table and demanded food.
The cook asked if he had enough money.
The pirate pointed a gun and asked if a bullet would do. The cook said he was broke, then beat him, breaking a chair, and said, If you don't pay, you're not a customer.
After Sanji went to the kitchen, a cook named Patty humiliated the pirate.
Haru would be sleeping if this place weren't so noisy.
Haru saw the captain heading toward where the pirate was taken by the cook, and Sanji followed.
What a pain, I want to go back to sleep, Haru said.
All you think about is sleeping, Nami said, annoyed.
[Scene change]
Looking at the stairs, everyone saw Luffy complaining about the work.
Hey, waiter! Nami said.
Hey, it's you guys! Luffy said.
They said you'll stay here for a year, Usopp said.
I can redraw our flag now, Zoro added.
From now on, I'm the captain, Haru said with an innocent smile.
W-w-w-what is this? You wait for me to leave to order the best stuff? That's cruel! Luffy shouted.
Just felt like it, didn't we? Zoro asked the others.
Then all three ate and laughed. Haru kept his usual innocent smile.
But let me tell you, the food here is great! Then Zoro grabbed a glass of water and said, I feel sorry for you. While everyone kept laughing, Zoro put the glass to Luffy's mouth and said, Drink up.
Why'd you do that?! Luffy shouted.
Even Haru didn't understand why Zoro did that.
What's your deal? What was that for? Zoro asked.
My stomach hurts, Luffy said, writhing on the floor like a fish out of water while everyone in the restaurant stared.
Then Sanji approached Nami with his nonsense. Haru just closed his eyes and kept an innocent smile, ignoring everything.
Afterward, the old man arrived and told Sanji to leave and become a pirate.
Even after the old man left, Sanji went back to flirting with Nami. Usopp ended up arguing with Sanji and asked Zoro to deal with him, but Zoro ignored it.
Nami started tricking the idiot cook to avoid paying for the food.
But he told the other three to pay. Zoro said it was too predictable, Luffy laughed hard, and Usopp was shocked with his mouth open.
Haru stayed out of it, ignoring everything.
Sanji ended up kicking Luffy's head and dragged him to serve customers.
Poor restaurant, Luffy's gonna cause more losses, Haru said, and the others agreed.
[Scene change]
Haru heard Usopp saying it's been four days since they've been at the restaurant.
I didn't even notice it's been that long. Still, I'm impressed that Usopp and Zoro had money to pay for the food, Haru thought.
Usopp started telling Luffy to leave soon. Haru saw that Luffy noticed something heading toward the restaurant.
Seems like he has a bit of Observation Haki but doesn't know he's using it. Interesting, I'm seeing things outside the anime. Plus, this place is great for sleeping, very refreshing, Haru was lost in thought.
Haru had already sensed the pirate ship heading their way. But the reason Haru was awake was the aura he assumed was Dracule Mihawk's. That aura radiated power, and Haru knew no one here stood a chance.
When Don Krieg arrived, Haru didn't care. The problem was what was coming behind him.
The fog cleared, and the ship came into full view, completely wrecked. Luffy and Sanji thought it was a tornado.
But Haru still felt the real monster coming very slowly from kilometers away. Even though his Haki didn't extend beyond a kilometer and a half, the pressure was simply overwhelming.
When Haru used Observation on the food Sanji gave to Krieg, he saw why the guy recovered so quickly, the same way Luffy always got full of energy after eating.
[Sanji's Food]
[Bonus: 30,000 HP: 100,000 SP]
While Haru was leveling up Observation in the One Piece universe, he noticed that instead of MP, it was SP.
After Krieg finished eating, he attacked Sanji. Gin started arguing with Krieg.
Krieg quickly silenced Gin by breaking his arm.
[Scene change]
People started running out of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Zoro, Usopp, and Nami—Zoro suggested they go in. Usopp was trembling with fear. Zoro knew the captain and vice-captain were there, though Haru still didn't know he was the vice-captain.
[Scene change]
Inside the restaurant, Krieg demanded food.
Sanji got up from the floor and headed to the kitchen.
All the other cooks pointed their kitchen utensils at Sanji like weapons.
The cooks said they wouldn't let Sanji obey Krieg's order.
Sanji spread his arms and asked them to stop him. He said he understood Krieg was a scoundrel, but as a cook, no matter what happened, if someone was hungry, he'd give them food. That's what a cook does.
Patty then punched Sanji in the back, leaving him in pain on the floor.
Patty ordered them to take Sanji away.
Patty started saying he always gave food to those he kicked out of the restaurant, but he couldn't let Sanji do whatever he wanted and wouldn't allow it. Going to the counter, Patty bent down and opened a secret door. He pulled out something wrapped, and when he unwrapped it, they saw it was a weapon. He asked if Krieg wanted a lead dessert and fired. A large bullet, more like a cannonball, came out.
When it hit Krieg, it created an explosion, with smoke pouring out the door.
Dust spread everywhere, hitting all the cooks, Haru, and Luffy with a shockwave.
The cooks were talking about the floor and how it didn't matter since it was for a good cause. Sanji was worried about Krieg's men on the ship.
Luffy noticed Krieg was still standing. Haru already knew.
Looks delicious, idiot cook, Krieg said as the smoke cleared, shocking all the cooks. Offering me a horrible dessert?! This restaurant is despicable?! Krieg said, pulling weapons from his shoulders, hips, and hands.
Haru was certain Krieg's wisdom was near zero for thinking it was actually a dessert.
Krieg fired all his weapons at the cooks.
That armor, Luffy said loudly.
He shot, Sanji said next.
Gin covered his eyes with his hands and seemed to be crying.
Haru just watched, annoyed that Krieg called a restaurant with such good food horrible and despicable. He'd get revenge later.
After the shots, the cooks were on the floor, alive. Krieg then shouted for them to do what he said and proclaimed himself the strongest man in the world.
Nothing is stronger than these fists! My armor is tougher than anything. My diamond fist is unbeatable! My armada has five thousand men and fifty ships! I've never lost a battle in my life! The title of Don fits me perfectly, Krieg shouted.
Get out, kids, the restaurant owner said to Luffy and Haru.
I ordered food, get to it. No one disobeys me, Krieg kept shouting. Haru wanted to kill him for making so much noise.
Then the owner placed a huge sack in front of Krieg, saying it had food for a hundred men and told him to take it to the ship. Haru knew it could be a snack for Luffy.
The cooks yelled at the owner.
What's with the old man? That was risky, Luffy said to no one.
Zeff? Krieg said, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Zeff turned and left. The cooks started complaining to Zeff for giving food to Krieg, saying they'd take the restaurant.
Zeff said only if they had the guts. He said he couldn't cross the Grand Line. The cooks were shocked that he failed.
You, Red-Leg Zeff, Krieg said with wide eyes. So you're still alive, huh? He said, regaining his composure. The pirate cook, one of the greatest pirates in history.
I'm alive, so what? It's none of your business. As you can see, I make a living as a cook, Zeff said with a tough stance.
Krieg started laughing. Nice way to put it, but it seems you didn't choose to be a cook—it's the only thing left for you. I've heard your story, Red-Leg Zeff. A specialist in combat without hands. Your legs are so strong they create craters in the ground, break even iron, known as Red-Leg because the blood of your enemies dripped from your feet. But it seems you lost that precious leg. I heard you had an accident while sailing.
Haru was tired of this nonsense and went to take a nap.
After Krieg left, they asked what happened in the Grand Line. Gin said it was one man, shocking everyone. He said his eyes were like a hawk's, while Usopp trembled in fear and terror. Zoro wasn't much different.
Zeff said it was Hawk Eyes. Seeing Zoro's state, Luffy asked if he knew him. Zoro said yes. Usopp begged Luffy to forget about going there, but Luffy said now he really wanted to go to the Grand Line. Usopp shouted that he should worry about safety. Zoro said now his goal was the Grand Line, where he could meet that man. Sanji said they were idiots and crazy for seeking death.
After Usopp told lies, Patty talked about how he could be calm in this situation.
Hey, Luffy, where's Haru? Zoro asked.
Over there in the corner, Luffy replied.
Everyone in the Baratie looked at the corner Luffy pointed to, and then…
HOW CAN HE SLEEP IN THIS SITUATION?! Everyone shouted.
[Scene change]
A few minutes later, Haru woke up, alerted by a massive power nearby with his Observation Haki. He heard war cries outside.
These idiot pirates attracted a monster here, Haru said.
Only Luffy and Zoro heard what Haru said.
It's starting, Haru said. Luffy and Zoro heard him, and then an explosion happened outside.
Everyone except Haru was shocked by what happened outside.
Seeing Haru standing expressionless, Usopp thought he was paralyzed with fear.
Then the Baratie restaurant started shaking from the impact of Krieg's ship crumbling.
Zeff ordered a cook to drop the anchor. Luffy ran outside, and Haru followed.
When Luffy and Haru reached the door, they saw the ship sinking. Zoro followed and saw it too. Then Usopp came and let out a scream of shock and surprise, mouth wide open.
How hasn't a mosquito flown into his mouth yet? That was Haru's thought in this situation.
BUDDY! BUDDY!
Luffy and Haru saw the two bounty hunters in the sea.
Yosaku, Johnny, Luffy said, going to them.
Are you guys okay? Luffy asked.
Where's the ship? I don't see it! And Nami? Zoro said.
She… sorry, buddy! She took off! Buddy Nami fled with all the treasure! The two idiot hunters said.
Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp were shocked. Haru was still looking toward the monster.
What did you say?! The three shouted after snapping out of their shock.
Zeff came outside and looked in the same direction as Haru, surprised by who he saw.
It's him, Zeff said, catching Zoro's attention.
Zoro looked in the same direction, shocked to see him.
No way, that's… Hawk Eyes, Zoro said, trembling (probably from excitement since he can't sense how strong someone is compared to him).
[Scene change]
Zoro? Who's that? Luffy asked.
The man I'm looking for, Hawk Eyes Mihawk!
Hawk Eyes Mihawk? Luffy said.
The greatest swordsman in the world! Zoro said.
Is that the guy who took down Krieg's fleet of 50 ships in the Grand Line?! Patty asked.
And just destroyed another one of his ships! An extra said.
But he doesn't look any different from a normal human, and he doesn't seem to be armed with anything special, a cannon fodder said.
His weapon is on his back, Zeff said.
No way, what?! That sword?! He destroyed that huge ship with it?! The cannon fodder said.
He's the legendary swordsman Hawk Eyes Mihawk, the swordsman at the top of all swordsmen in the world, Zeff said.
[Scene change]
As Mihawk passed through the wreckage, someone caught his attention long before he arrived. He noticed someone had sensed him with Observation Haki.
When he saw a young boy with white hair and blue eyes looking at him.
At that moment, he knew who had the Observation Haki. The albino boy caught his attention. Though he wasn't strong, Mihawk felt he had some tricks up his sleeve.
Damn you, why did you attack us?! A Krieg pirate asked.
Pastime, Mihawk said.
Nonsense! The Krieg pirate shouted, pulling out two pistols.
Mihawk drew his sword forward, then turned and swung it sideways, deflecting both bullets, leaving Krieg's pirates shocked.
The pirate asked what happened, certain he had aimed correctly.
They ricocheted, Zoro said, appearing behind the Krieg pirate. He deflected them with the tip of his sword.
Impossible, the Krieg pirate said.
Hey, who are you?! The pirate asked.
Three swords? Could it be… Another pirate said.
I've never seen such skill so subtly before, Zoro said.
Brute strength isn't synonymous with power, Mihawk said.
So it was that sword that cut this ship? Zoro asked.
Precisely, Mihawk replied.
It's clear, you're the greatest swordsman in the world! I've been sailing the seas looking for you, Zoro said.
What's your goal? Mihawk asked.
To be the best, Zoro replied, tying a cloth bandana on his head with an arrogant smile.
What foolishness, Mihawk replied, smiling, likely at the stupidity of a weakling.
Zoro drew his main sword, which belonged to Kuina, and said, Got plenty of time, don't you? Let's duel!
That guy's Roronoa Zoro, the three-sword guy, a pirate said.
The pirate hunter, right? Krieg said.
That guy? Sanji said.
Hey, things got worse, Luffy. The Going Merry's gonna disappear on the horizon! Hey, Luffy, Usopp was saying while Luffy watched Zoro.
A duel? Hmph, you're pathetic, weak boy, Mihawk said. Zoro said nothing, standing with his sword pointed forward. Mihawk soon jumped from his coffin-shaped boat to the piece of Krieg's ship where Zoro was.
If you were a true swordsman, you'd know the chasm between us without even drawing your blade. Yet you still challenge me. Is it courage or just foolishness? Mihawk asked.
It's nothing but ambition! Then Zoro put a sword in his mouth while holding the other two in his hands. And my promise to a deceased friend, Zoro said.
The greatest swordsman in the world, Hawk Eyes, and Zoro, the pirate hunter! What a fight this'll be?! Patty said.
It'll be a one-sided massacre. Zoro doesn't stand a chance, Haru said, shocking everyone for speaking that way about a crewmate. Haru had used Observation on Mihawk the first time he saw him and was still trembling with fear inside. This was no joke.

Even so, that luck explains how he's still alive with that sense of direction, Haru thought, looking at the chasm Mihawk mentioned.
[Scene change]
No one can beat our buddy! Yosaku shouted for all to hear, angry at what Haru said.
Yeah, he's already the best, Johnny agreed with his partner.
Mihawk took a necklace with a cross from his neck. From the cross, he pulled out a small knife, a few centimeters long.
Hey, are you insulting me? Zoro asked.
I'm not one of those idiots who uses a cannon to hunt a rabbit. Your fame ties you to your swordsman title, but the East Blue is the weakest of the four oceans. Unfortunately, this is the smallest blade I have, Mihawk said, showing the 10-centimeter blade from the cross.
Stop mocking me! Zoro said, irritated, with the sword hilt in his mouth. Don't regret it if you die! Zoro said, running toward Mihawk.
You stupid beast, now know the vastness of the world. Then, defending against Zoro's demonic blade with the tip of the cross's blade, shocking Zoro and everyone watching, except Haru, who wished Mihawk had an even smaller blade.
Zoro! Luffy said.
He blocked our buddy's technique, Johnny said.
But that attack always works! What happened? Yosaku said.
Zoro was panicking inside, trembling with fear, lost in thought.
The world can't be this vast! Zoro shouted, with the sword in his mouth, attacking Mihawk again. (How does he talk with the sword in his mouth without it falling?)
Zoro started attacking randomly with the two swords in his hands. Mihawk kept defending with the tip of the cross's blade.
Then Mihawk applied a bit of force, making Zoro fall back.
Are you kidding, buddy?! Fight seriously! Yosaku shouted at Zoro.
Buddy! Johnny shouted.
The power gap between us can't be that big! Zoro said with the sword in his mouth, still on the ground on the piece of Krieg's ship. Getting up, Zoro attacked Mihawk.
Mihawk kept defending Zoro's sloppy attacks, stepping back. Zoro jumped behind Mihawk, attacking with his sword, and Mihawk blocked with the cross's blade.
Such ferocity in these attacks, Mihawk said.
Zoro then attacked with the sword in his mouth. Mihawk stopped it with the cross's blade without issue again.
With just that knife, he blocked all three of Zoro's swords! He's a monster among monsters! Two of Krieg's pirates said, watching the one-sided fight.
Zoro, still attacking Mihawk like an unhinged wild animal, thought he couldn't lose to this toy. Zoro attacked, Mihawk dodged, and hit the side of his hand on Zoro's neck, knocking him to the ground.
What's your burden? What do you want after becoming the strongest, weak boy? Mihawk asked Zoro.
You called our buddy weak?! You lunatic, Yosaku shouted at Mihawk. I'll teach this guy a lesson! Johnny shouted.
Stop, Yosaku, Johnny, don't interfere, be patient! Luffy stretched his arms, grabbing the two idiots.
Usopp saw Luffy was holding back as much as he could.
I can't lose! Zoro said.
Zoro then placed the swords in his hands behind the one in his mouth, preparing for an attack.
Tiger…
Hunt!
Zoro attacked, but Mihawk leaned forward with one foot and stabbed the tip of the cross's blade into Zoro's left chest?!
Shall I pierce your heart? Why not step back? Mihawk asked.
I don't know…
I really don't know why, but if I take one step back, all the vows and promises I've made so far will be in vain, and I'll never have the chance to face you again, Zoro said to Mihawk.
That's what defeat means, Mihawk said.
Then I can't step back, Zoro replied.
Even at the cost of your life? Mihawk asked.
I'd rather die! Zoro replied.
Mihawk stepped back and sheathed the cross's blade.
Boy, tell me your name! Mihawk asked.
Roronoa Zoro, he replied, positioning one sword upward on the right, another downward on the right, and the one in his mouth to the left.
I'll remember it! Mihawk said, drawing the sword from his back. It's been a while since I met someone like you, weak boy. As a courtesy, I'll use the world's strongest black sword to take your life.
I appreciate the kindness, Zoro said.
Krieg's pirates were panicking because he drew the sword that cut the ship.
Mihawk and Zoro prepared for the final attack.
Stop, buddy, please, Johnny shouted while Luffy was on the ground, holding himself back from interfering.
Three-Sword Style Secret Technique.
Zoro started spinning the two swords in his hands.
Die, Mihawk charged.
Three Thousand Worlds.
Then they stopped, back-to-back.
The two swords in Zoro's hands broke, and a slash appeared across his torso, from the right chest to the left waist.
Zoro removed the sword from his mouth and sheathed the blade. Mihawk looked back, seeing Zoro stand and face him, arms spread.
What, Mihawk was surprised by this action.
Zoro smiled and said, Scars on the back are a swordsman's shame.
Excellent, Mihawk said, slashing from the left side of the chest to the right side of the waist.
ZORO! Luffy shouted.
ZORO! Usopp shouted.
BUDDY! BUDDY! Johnny and Yosaku shouted.
AHHHHHH!!! LUFFY SHOUTED.
Isn't it easy to abandon your ambitions?! Sanji shouted.
Zoro fell into the ocean.
The bounty hunters went after Zoro.
Screaming, Luffy went for Mihawk.
Luffy shocked all the cooks and pirates.
Damn you, Luffy said as Mihawk dodged, and Luffy's head got stuck in the wood.
The young swordsman is your friend? You impressed me too by not interfering until the end, Mihawk said.
Haru used Sonido and appeared, breaking the wood where Luffy's head was stuck. He shocked everyone by appearing out of nowhere, even Mihawk was surprised by the rapid movement skill. He was certain it was faster than the Marines' Soru, and without his Haki, he wouldn't have noticed Haru move.
Calm down, Captain, Zoro's still alive, Haru said.
He's right, I didn't kill the young swordsman, Mihawk said.
Buddy! Buddy! Say something! The hunters were shouting.
Zoro, Luffy shouted. Zoro!
Usopp quickly asked to bring Zoro aboard the small boat. On the boat, Usopp grabbed medicine for Zoro.
It's too early to die, young man, Mihawk said. My name is Dracule Mihawk! Discover the world, get stronger. No matter how many years it takes, I'll hold the title of the world's greatest swordsman and wait for you. Surpass this sword, try to surpass me, Roronoa Zoro! Mihawk shouted to Zoro.
For Hawk Eyes Mihawk to make that declaration, Zeff said.
Kids… what are your goals? Mihawk asked Luffy and Haru.
To be the King of the Pirates. And eat sex, Luffy said.
To sleep in peace, Haru said.
A tough path, harder than surpassing me, Mihawk said, with a sweat drop on his head, not understanding why he said "eat sex." But the idea of sleeping in peace, he understood better than anyone—it was the best thing in the world in Mihawk's opinion.
In truth, no one who heard it understood except Haru.
I don't care, because I'll be the King, no matter what it takes, Luffy replied, sticking out his tongue at Mihawk. Haru then smacked Luffy on the head, telling him to show more respect.
Then Luffy heard Usopp say Zoro was alive but unconscious. A few seconds later, Zoro raised his sword.
Luffy, can you hear me? Zoro asked.
Yes, Luffy replied loudly.
Sorry for worrying you. If I… Zoro said, breathing heavily. If I'm not the best in the world… it'll be a problem for you, right? Spitting blood and worrying the bounty hunter brothers, Zoro continued. I… I'll never… be defeated again… Zoro shouted, crying. Until I defeat him and become the greatest swordsman in the world, I'll never be defeated again. Any problem, King of the Pirates?
None, Luffy said.
Good team. I hope to see you again, Mihawk said, walking toward his coffin-shaped boat.
Wait, Hawk Eyes! Didn't you come for my head? The head of the King of the East Blue, Don Krieg!
At that moment, Haru didn't even want to check Krieg's stats. He was certain this guy was dumber than Luffy.
That was my intention, yes. But I've had enough fun. I'm going home to sleep, Mihawk said.
You may have had your fun, but I haven't even started mine, Krieg said, cracking his neck.
The pirates were wondering why not let him go.
Die before you leave! Krieg shouted, pulling out his weapons and firing at Mihawk.
As expected, he didn't learn, Mihawk said, attacking, creating an explosion in the water, destroying the platform.
Before Mihawk destroyed the platform, he saw with his Observation Haki the white-haired boy move with that speed technique, confirming he had Observation Haki.
After the explosion, Luffy clung to the Baratie to avoid falling into the water.
Usopp, Luffy called. Go ahead, leave Nami to you!
Alright, Zoro and I will find her and bring her back! Convince the cook! Then the six of us will head to the Grand Line, Usopp shouted, throwing the straw hat to Luffy.
Yes, we will.
