Chapter 79

Clearly, the sword energy released by Karl because he was bored had attracted his attention.

Scrapyard Island.

The Navy soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield under the command of Adjutant Nelson. The dead pirates were thrown into the sea one by one, and the pirate ship was also dragged to a hidden place and discarded after being looted.

After this operation, Scrapyard Island was exactly the same as before the White Wolf Pirates landed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Flame Pirates.

But an uninvited guest broke the tranquility here.

"Adjutant Nelson, look, there's a small boat coming toward us!"

Adjutant Nelson frowned, hurriedly raised his binoculars to look, and when he saw who it was, his pupils shrank to a point.

"What! It's actually one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Hawkeye Mihawk!"

"Adjutant Nelson, are you saying that world's greatest swordsman?"

"That's right, it's him! Those terrifying eyes, I will absolutely never forget them."

The Navy soldiers were a bit nervous and lost their heads. Nelson took a deep breath and took out the Den Den Mushi.

Inside the cafe.

Karl was flirting with a beauty he had just picked up, and bursts of giggles came from the seat from time to time.

"Brrr brrr~"

The sound of the Den Den Mushi interrupted their conversation. Karl revealed a polite smile and answered the phone.

"What is it again?"

"Report, Colonel, Mihawk is here!" "What Hawk?"

"The world's greatest swordsman, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye Mihawk!" Nelson's voice was a bit anxious.

Hearing this, Karl's smile gradually disappeared. Why did he come!

Great! Another big shot I can't afford to offend!

Don't look at Hawkeye as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea; he doesn't necessarily have to be polite to the Navy. At least from the Navy's standpoint, Mihawk is absolutely a guy with no scruples, everything based on his own preferences.

The other Seven Warlords of the Sea aren't much better. Kuma, who looks loyal, is actually an undercover agent for the Revolutionary Army.

Anyway, Karl had no good feelings for this group of Seven Warlords; they were just a bunch of unreliable mercenaries.

"Ding~ Detected Mihawk's fighting intent toward the host, triggered series mission 【Don't Hit Your Own People 1/7】."

"Seven Warlords of the Sea exclusive mission: As allies, we should love each other and live in peace, not fight and kill, hurting the harmony, thereby wasting precious slacking-off time."

"Mission requirement: Avoid fighting with Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Reward: Black Blade Forging Method, Armament Haki Strengthening Card * 5."

Karl's breathing stalled, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes. The reward is very rich! The key is that it's a series mission; there are seven Seven Warlords of the Sea, after all!

"Sorry, I have official business, we'll meet again if fate allows!"

"Eh? In such a hurry?" The wine-red-haired beauty's eyes were a bit resentful.

But Karl didn't say a word, leaving the cafe directly.

On Scrapyard Island.

Mihawk jumped up from the coffin lid, landed gracefully on the island, and looked around, only to find a group of ordinary Navy soldiers.

"Who is your head?"

Facing this question, the Navy soldiers looked at Nelson in unison, and Mihawk's gaze also looked at him.

"You are the head? What happened here just now?"

Although Nelson was a bit afraid of Mihawk, he still said toughly: "Lord Mihawk, although you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you don't seem to have the right to ask about internal Navy affairs, right?"

The next second, a black sword blade was placed in front of Nelson, and Mihawk looked at Nelson with sharp, calm eyes: "I'll ask one more time, what happened here just now?"

"Just a few pirates died, this little thing isn't worth drawing a sword, Lord Mihawk."

Mihawk looked up and saw a handsome Navy officer standing not far away, with a black bird on his shoulder.

"Who are you?" Mihawk's tone was still calm.

"Navy Headquarters Colonel, Karl."

Mihawk slowly hung the Black Blade 'Yoru' behind his back, looked at Karl with sharp hawk-like eyes, and said: "The flying slash just now, you released it, right?"

Although Karl didn't have the sharp, exposed aura of a swordsman, he felt the aura of a strong person on Karl.

"I have to say, truly sharp observation!"

Karl felt a bit emotional. Is this the insight of the world's greatest swordsman? Obviously, he didn't even bring a sword.

Raven: Caw caw caw?

"It seems it's you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mihawk gripped the black blade and slashed toward Karl. A sharp crescent-shaped flying slash flew toward Karl like a meteor.

"Ding~ 【Don't Hit Your Own People 1/7】 mission failed."

Karl:???

Wait, the mission failed just like that?

But looking at the flying slash getting closer and closer, Karl cursed: "Damn it!"

Raven transformed into weapon form instantly, followed by a triple slash. Three flying slashes met Hawkeye's slash, barely canceling it out.

Karl stood on the spot, panting slightly, his heart filled with monstrous resentment.

Damn Mihawk, you really deserve to die, damn it! It's even more uncomfortable than killing me, boohoo!

"Not bad, your sword is very interesting."

Mihawk looked at the Raven in Karl's hand. He had seen it very clearly just now; Karl's sword was transformed from the bird on his shoulder. This was the first time he had seen this.

But he always felt it was familiar, a bit like the First Generation Kitetsu, but it was only the blade and the patterns on it; the part below the sword guard was completely different.

Karl walked a few steps forward holding Raven, saying as he walked: "Is this your provocation to the Navy? Lord Mihawk? Don't forget, you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"No, I just finally met a swordsman with potential, and I'm happy to see a hunter."

"Draw your sword! Add a bit of fun to my dull life."

Ever since that guy Shanks lost an arm, he hadn't had a truly hearty, formal sword duel.

To summarize in one sentence: his great sword had long been hungry and thirsty.

Hearing this, Karl was speechless in his heart. This guy looks refined, why is his head so iron!

The world of swordsmen isn't about fighting and killing; the world of swordsmen is about human relationships, understand?

Sigh~ No choice. Since the mission has already failed, then there's no point in backing down anymore; instead, he would be looked down upon.

Thinking of this, Karl slowly raised the Raven in his hand, his left hand gently brushed over the sword body, and he said coldly.

"This sword is named Raven, the blade is four feet seven inches long, net weight ten jin five liang, cuts nails and iron, kills without form."
