From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

573 But if you think about it carefully, there is no need. If Usopp doesn't meet Luffy, he may not rush out to sea. He may continue to defend his small village and play pirate games with his little brothers in the village.

Then he spent his life happily and joyfully with his childhood sweetheart, Ke Ya.

It's pretty good, much better than his dead father.

Even if Usopp wants to go out to sea, it’s actually not a big deal.

Thinking of this, Diarmait no longer paid attention to the little guy.

As for Jesus, Diarmuid didn't bother to care about him.

After the warship sailed for a while, Gion walked out of the cabin with a glass of juice in his hand and a dazed look in his eyes.

"I seemed to hear someone firing a cannon just now? What happened?" Gion rubbed his eyes and asked still a little sleepy.

Diarmait glanced back at Gion, who exuded a lazy air. He smiled and said, "Nothing. I just ran into a little jerk..." After a brief pause, Diarmait laughed and teased, "You've been sleeping too much, haven't you? Do you still consider yourself a swordsman? You're not diligent at all."

Gion didn't pay any attention to the 'little punk' that Diarmait called her. Instead, she rolled her eyes at Diarmait and said, "If you can't sleep until you wake up naturally during vacation, then this vacation will be meaningless." As soon as she finished speaking, she held the juice in one hand and suddenly put her other hand on the golden halberd at her waist. As she took a step forward, the golden halberd at her waist was unsheathed.

Thunder and lightning flashed, and the dazzling lightning instantly covered Jinpila. At the same time, an indigo-blue slash flew towards the calm sea in the distance.

When the slash hit the sea, there was no pause at all, and it directly cut the flat sea surface. A large amount of electric current collapsed in the sea water, stirring up countless waves.

"Do you think I'm a swordsman?" Gion slid the golden halberd with electric light into a flower shadow, put it into the scabbard, and raised his eyebrows.

"Well, well," Diarmait nodded seriously.

However, at this moment, Diarmait and Gion turned their heads at the same time and looked at the invisible direction beyond the sea level in the distance.

Then, the sea surface seemed to be cut open, and a dark green slash broke through the sea surface and flew towards the warship with unstoppable momentum.

"What is this?" Diarmait was not panicked at all. Instead, he touched his chin, as if thinking about something.

This thing looks so familiar! ?

A gleam of light flashed in Gion's eyes and he said, "It's him!" "Who?" Diarmait asked instinctively.

"Joracle Mihawk, the man known as 'Hawk Eyes,' come to think of it, he seems to be the greatest swordsman now?" Gion whispered. "The greatest swordsman?" Diarmait asked in surprise. "Shouldn't he be the world's greatest swordsman? The world's strongest swordsman?"

"No, it hasn't reached that point yet, right? But it's almost there. I heard not long ago that after he challenged the swordsman of the Shinkage Ryu, he claimed to be the best in kendo. I think this should be a change in strategy." Gion said with a smile.

At this moment, the slash had already flown in front of the warship.

Then, Diarmait swung his fishing rod, and the powerful force of gravity whipped the line along. The thin line, aided by gravity, abruptly changed the trajectory of the green slash, sending it soaring into the sky. "Before, he constantly challenged swordsmen from around the world to build his reputation. Now, he's calling himself the best in swordsmanship. I guess he wants to draw out all those who disagree with him and challenge them. Once he's accomplished this, he'll truly be the best in swordsmanship, and he'll be able to truly become the 'world's greatest swordsman,'" Diarmait said calmly, shaking the rod again.

Gion didn't seem surprised at all that Diarmait easily broke Mihawk's attack with his fishing rod.

As a veteran swordsman, she could of course tell at a glance that Mihawk's move just now was "flashy but not practical". It looked surging, but in fact, it did not contain much power.

To be more precise, it was Mihawk who was greeting them.

Of course, if he was killed by this flashy slash, Mihawk would probably lose interest in this area immediately.

This also shows Mihawk's madness. He doesn't care whether it is a ship or what the situation is. He just does it.

"That's right." Gion nodded, then continued, "I guess it was attracted by the aura of my previous slash. What a trouble."

"I just saw that you clearly have a strong desire to win." Diarmait looked at Gion in surprise.

Gion touched the Jin Kun Luo on his waist, then shook his head and said, "If I hadn't eaten the Thunder Fruit, I might have considered fighting him again, but now, I'm no longer a pure swordsman, and... he can't beat me."

At this point, Gion took a sip of juice to moisten his throat before continuing, "This victory is a bit unfair."

"Good fellow, are you still pretending?" Diarmuid glanced at Gion and complained.

Soon, at the end of the sea level, a small sampan appeared in the sight of Diarmait and Gion with the waves. There was a man sitting on the sampan. He was wearing a noble suit, a top hat on his head, and there seemed to be a huge cross stuck behind him. He sat there with his legs crossed, looking like a big boss.

And that cross is his sword.

What's even more bizarre is that there are candles lit on both sides of his small sampan. It seems that he was born to show off.

“What an arrogant fellow…” Diarmait complained, then continued, “He doesn’t even have an oar. I’m sure he was rowing with the knife behind him when we couldn’t see him. Only when we were almost above the sea did he put on a show of force…”

Gion was originally observing Mihawk, but after hearing Diarmait's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then his mind imagined Mihawk rowing a boat at night with the black sword, one of the most powerful weapons.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Diarmuid, looking at the pretentious Mihawk, said to himself with some emotion, "Shanks first, Mihawk next. The East China Sea is so vast, how could this be such a coincidence?"

But he soon reacted, and a glint of understanding flashed in his eyes. If it weren't for him, perhaps this would be the moment when Mihawk and Shanks formed an ill-fated relationship?

Two people who were both sailing in a sampan met unexpectedly on the vast ocean. They were both swordsmen and seemed to be very proud.

Maybe they would start a fight, and from then on, they would become friends through fighting?

After all, before this, there was no news of Mihawk and Shanks fighting.

I guess it really started from then on, right?

"It's a shame, though. I've already blown up your friend Shanks's ship. I doubt you two will meet again in the East China Sea." Diarmuid murmured. Then, looking at Mihawk who was still pretending to be cool, he said to the navy lieutenant not far away, "Go and push the cannon over to me!"

The naval lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and went to do his work.

Unlike Shanks, Mihawk's style of behavior is too dissolute. Although he has not committed any real pirate behavior, he has caused great harm and losses. Therefore, he was forcibly identified as a pirate by the Navy and given a certain amount of bounty.

Diarmuid had never paid attention to how much his bounty was, but there was no doubt that he could be considered a pirate, so there would be no problem in killing him.

Little did he know that Mihawk was also a little panicked at this time. To be honest, he came to the East China Sea because he was bored. He heard that there was an Isshin Dojo here with a great swordsman living in seclusion, so he wanted to come and take a look.

As a result, he suddenly felt a sharp breath that cut through the sea surface in the direction he was heading, as if a swordsman was greeting him.

Mihawk naturally didn't expect that someone was casually killing the sea and not even saying hello. Isn't that a problem?

Therefore, Mihawk followed the 'swordsman's etiquette' and directly attacked in the direction where the aura came from, retaliating with a sword.

Then he rowed his small sampan towards the direction where the sword was flying.

As a result, a warship of the Navy Headquarters was parked there. Mihawk was confused. Isn't this a sting operation?

But he couldn't just turn around and run away, after all, he was a man who cared about his reputation.

Therefore, he could only pretend to be calm, act like a cool boss, and sit on the small sampan without moving.

However, the closer he got, the more confused he became. Oh my god, a navy admiral?

That’s right, Mihawk is called Eagle Eyes, so his eyesight is naturally very good. He could see Diarmait clearly from a long distance.

At the same time, he also recognized the vice admiral next to Diarmait. He had a good impression of that woman, whose name was Gion. He had fought with her a few years ago. Although he won, there was no doubt that the woman was not weak.

As for Diarmait, he is even more famous. How many pirates have fallen at his hands?

Just as Mihawk was thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly saw a cannon being pushed towards the side of the navy admiral.

Then the guy used his brute force to pick up the heavy artillery.

Then, it was actually aimed at him?

Mihawk? ? ?

What the hell…

Before Mihawk could think about it, with a bang, a black shell, accompanied by flames, flew towards him!

(Happy Children's Day, guys, please give me flowers and monthly tickets. Come on, smash me to death and see how it goes!).

Chapter 192: Gion vs. Mihawk, a battle between two great swordsmen! (Part )

He suddenly took off the cross hanging around his neck, and an exquisite knife appeared in Mihawk's hand.

Then, before the shell was about to hit his small dinghy, Mihawk chopped it out with the knife in his hand.

The powerful shell was directly cut by Mihawk with a knife, flew past both sides of the sampan and fell into the sea.

Then Mihawk calmly put the knife back into the cross.

His gaze also turned towards the warship.

On the deck, Diarmait stroked his chin and said, "More interesting than that Shanks guy. Shanks just gave up resistance..."

But if you think about it carefully, Shanks also wants to save face and often says things like "give me face".

But in normal times, as long as you don't touch his bottom line and bully him, he will not react.

The bandit king shot him on the head with a bottle, but he didn't seem angry.

How about trying Pophawk's head?

You've chopped people into pieces.

"Do we want to arrest him? He is also a pirate." Gion asked.

At the same time, he also touched the Jin Kunluo hanging around his waist.

Diarmait smiled and said, "No, actually, I want to measure his current strength to see if he is qualified to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Gion was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why him?"

"According to the opinions of the Marshal, General Sengoku and others, we cannot arrange all the King's Seven "Five Seven Three" Warlords to be our own people from the beginning. That would be inappropriate and the risk is too great. Therefore, we must mix in some real pirates..." Diarmuid said softly.

"I know this, but why him?" Gion asked again.

"Relatively speaking, this guy being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea poses relatively little threat to the entire world, because he is not a real pirate." Diarmait said with a smile.

Currently, Smoker has become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and there are six positions left.

Bartholomew of the Revolutionary Army. The bear was basically a reservation, and the Marshal was obviously very interested in it. Diarmait had no intention of interfering.

So there are only five left, Moonlight. Moriah went to join the revolution, so there is no reason for him to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so he does not need to consider it.

Crocodile is now missing. He was supposed to be the first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but now he is nowhere to be found and no one knows where he is.

Don't consider him for now.

As for Doflamingo, if nothing unexpected happens, he can become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

That leaves four positions left, and Diarmuid plans to fill at least two of these positions.

Hancock is clearly one, but it will take another four or five years. Once she reaches adulthood, she will be arranged to return and inherit the Amazon throne. Lily's throne will be held as the Amazon. Lily Emperor, captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates, sails out to sea, secretly becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This is nothing, just four or five years, which is not a problem for the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan.

Then there are three positions left. One is reserved for a naval candidate who has not yet been considered. As for the remaining two, Diarmuid must choose two people who are not too dangerous because of his position and justice in the navy.

These two people are tentatively named Mihawk and Jinbe.

Looking at the entire Seven Warlords of the Sea, it seems that only they two are more suitable.
