Ever since Red Hair lost that arm, you haven't had a proper whetstone, have you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it you want?\" Mihawk asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help me pressure my companions,\" Shirogai said with a light laugh. \"Let them witness the bearing of the World's Greatest Swordsman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need them to feel what true power is like.

And I can't bring myself to do that to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The world has already changed course,\" he added quietly. \"I need real monsters like you to remind them what death feels like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mihawk's lips curled slightly, an unusual smile forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to sharpen your crew using my blade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" Shirogai laughed. \"And I won't take it for free. Once this is over, I'll fight you seriously. No restraint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mihawk fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well,\" he said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji landed heavily on the ground, his expression grim as he stared at the devastated forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What terrifying sword pressure,\" he muttered. \"Even stronger than that moss-headed idiot…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the slash even arrived, his Observation Haki had screamed danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the instant the blade was unleashed, he barely managed to warn Luffy before using Moonwalk to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope Luffy dodged it…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji clenched his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a troublesome opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bitter smile faded as he stared at the figure holding the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy wasn't wrong,\" he murmured. \"I've definitely seen him before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man before him was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dracule Mihawk, the World's Greatest Swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, just like Gecko Moria, the master of this island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the chef from that floating restaurant,\" Mihawk said calmly, lowering the black blade Yoru. \"You are now Straw Hat Luffy's companion? Curious. I don't recall seeing you clearly on a wanted poster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well… about that…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji looked down, lit his cigarette, and took a deep drag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the crude sketch on his poster, he exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's just pretend I don't exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his gaze and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two Warlords showing up here is strange,\" Sanji said lightly. \"Are you all hosting a banquet? Need a chef?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Marines intend to annihilate your crew,\" Mihawk replied flatly. \"That is why the Seven Warlords were summoned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our duty is simple. Eliminate any Straw Hat Pirates we encounter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji's expression hardened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's a Marine trap…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding dawned on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That explained why the fighting on Shirogai's side had yet to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Shirogai is being held back by the Admirals,\" Sanji muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed it without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crew with a total bounty exceeding 5 Billion Berries was more than enough to provoke a full-scale Marine operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day Shirogai left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew stared in shock at the freshly issued wanted posters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?! Did I read that wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami covered her mouth, her face red with excitement as she stared at the endless string of numbers beneath Shirogai's smiling portrait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are these all ours?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone crowded closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all the posters, one stood out overwhelmingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrogant Emperor\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai Yamikuro\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bounty: 5,000,000,000 Berries\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five billion Berries!\" Nami screamed. \"Weapons!
