However, the people that Akira Stone was like this, they were still encountering them for the first time, it was clear that their strength was far worse than them, but they were continuously escaping from the hands of the two of them several times, moreover, this guy was also too cunning, every time they were escaping in towns with a large number of people, using other people as shields, making it so that they had no way, even several times Akainu was about to be unable to resist taking action, fortunately, Aokiji still had a bit of rationality, stopping Akainu, otherwise who knows how many people would have died at Akainu's hands.
"No way ah, if it continues like this, I would have already collapsed without them taking action."
Akira Stone was hiding alone in a valley, his whole person appearing very haggard, he had arrived at this place an hour ago, he had gotten a bit of food here, he wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to say it, his whole person was being tormented to the point of mental breakdown.
He was very clear, if it continued like this, he himself would collapse without Aokiji and the others taking action, so he had to think of a foolproof plan, that could at least shake off Aokiji and Akainu for a few days, letting him recover his physical strength and spirit, only then could he continue to fight with them like this.
"Hmm."
After eating the last mouthful of food, Akira Stone suddenly felt an extremely loud commotion coming from not far away, what made him even more concerned was, even though it was very far away, he could still feel two towering sword intents, it was as if two top swordsmen were battling.
"What a strong commotion, looking at this kind of sword intent, it should be two extremely powerful swordsmen battling."
A light flashed in Akira Stone's eyes, he thought to himself, "This might be an opportunity, I'll go over and take a look."
And Aokiji and Akainu, who were searching for Akira Stone in another direction, suddenly also felt the commotion from the two swordsmen battling.
Akainu and Aokiji exchanged a glance, Aokiji asked, "Go take a look?"
Akainu nodded, and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."
They were currently on a very ordinary island in the East Blue, but there was actually a battle with such a shocking commotion, the two of them naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
Because Akira Stone was relatively close, he quickly arrived at the battle site, when he saw the two people battling, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Mihawk! This is great."
That's right, one of the two swordsmen who were battling was precisely his old acquaintance, Mihawk, the other one was a young man wearing glasses, holding a long sword, he looked like he should be a few years older than Mihawk.
...
Akira Stone's arrival naturally alarmed the two people who were battling, especially when Mihawk heard Akira Stone call him, his brows furrowed, the sword style in his hand changed, forcing his opponent back, and his opponent also seemed to understand Mihawk's meaning, after retreating, he didn't take action again, instead, he looked towards Akira Stone who was rushing over rapidly, just like Mihawk.
"Your friend?" Mihawk's opponent asked Mihawk.
Mihawk said faintly, "An acquaintance." He was only saying acquaintance, he didn't say friend, that was because he and Akira Stone were only passing acquaintances, although he admired Akira Stone very much, but if it was said that they were friends, it was still far from enough.
Seeing that Mihawk's battle had already stopped, Akira Stone immediately rushed in front of him with quick steps, supporting his knees with both hands, panting heavily, and said, "Mihawk, it's really great to see you again."
Looking at Akira Stone who was full of dust, disheveled, and extremely haggard, Mihawk asked in confusion, "How did you end up looking like this?"
Mihawk was indeed very strange, in his memory, Akira Stone should be the kind of person who was very clean, but the Akira Stone in front of him was extremely slovenly, it was clear that he hadn't dressed up for many days, it couldn't be related to his previous image at all, so Mihawk was very strange.
"Sigh, don't mention it."
Hearing Mihawk's question, Akira Stone sighed, and said, "Wasn't it all caused by that group of Navy, that group of Navy chased me like crazy, it's already made it so that I haven't rested well for many days, how could I not look like this?"
"Navy?" Mihawk was first startled, then he understood, "So it was the Navy who made you look like this ah."
"This little brother must be the Edward Akira Stone who has been widely known recently right?"
Just as Akira Stone and Mihawk were speaking, a gentle voice suddenly rang out, Akira Stone looked over curiously, he saw that the swordsman who had just been battling with Mihawk was looking at him with a face full of curiosity.
"You are?" Akira Stone looked at this man wearing glasses, and asked politely.
The man wearing glasses said with a smile, "Koushirou, just call me Koushirou."
"Koushirou?"
Hearing this name, Akira Stone felt that it was very familiar, he carefully recalled the swordsmen in One Piece who could battle with powerhouses like Mihawk, suddenly a person's existence surfaced in his mind, it's just that this person had never taken action in the One Piece manga, he was Roronoa Zoro's teacher, the master of the Isshin Dojo, Koushirou.
Koushirou was a mysterious man in the One Piece world, he was not only Zoro's teacher, he also seemed to have connections with the Revolutionary Army, in the manga, the leader of the Revolutionary Army Dragon seemed to have stayed at the Isshin Dojo, if he didn't know Koushirou, it would have been impossible for them to stay here, so Koushirou and the Revolutionary Army's relationship was definitely not ordinary.
Seeing Koushirou and Mihawk's battle just now, Akira Stone had seen it very clearly, Koushirou was completely no less than Mihawk.
"Hello, hello." Akira Stone greeted Koushirou very politely, and said, "Mr. Koushirou, I inadvertently saw your sword skills just now, they were indeed extraordinary."
Koushirou smiled, and said, "Little brother, you're too kind."
Mihawk said to Akira Stone with dissatisfaction, "You've disturbed our battle."
Akira Stone smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Don't be so distant, Mihawk, we're friends at least."
Mihawk glanced at Akira Stone who was acting familiar with him, and didn't say any words of rebuttal, instead, he asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Akira Stone chuckled, and said, "Mihawk, I have to say, you're really smart, I do indeed have a small matter that I want to ask you to help with."
Mihawk's expression didn't have the slightest change, and said faintly, "Say it, what is it?"
Akira Stone chuckled, and said, "As the saying goes, a friend will stab themselves in the back for a friend, the Navy is chasing me very closely, help me resist them for a bit, how about it?"
"Hmm?"
Mihawk didn't answer Akira Stone's words, instead, his brows rose, and he looked towards a direction, Akira Stone also looked towards that direction, his expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Not good, these two guys are really persistent."
Akira Stone was naturally not unfamiliar with these two auras, he had been chased by these two people for a few days, so after these two people appeared, he immediately said to Mihawk, "Mihawk, if we're friends, there's no need to say more, help me block these two for a bit, I'll retreat first."
Saying that, Akira Stone prepared to retreat, but he suddenly turned back, and said to Koushirou with a smile, "Mr. Koushirou, I'm very happy to meet you, but we don't have time to talk today, if there's a chance in the future, we'll meet again."
Without waiting for Koushirou to speak, Akira Stone quickly disappeared in front of him and Mihawk.
"This little brother is quite interesting." After Akira Stone left, Koushirou said to Mihawk with a smile.
Mihawk said faintly, "He's also very good at using people."
Koushirou smiled, and said, "But he doesn't make people dislike him, and you'll also help him, won't you?"
"They're here."
