Mihawk looked up at the burly man standing aboard the Moby Dick.
"Just give it a try."
"How far is that man from us?"
With that, Mihawk slowly raised his hand and drew his black sword. Ye!
Clang!!
The harsh humming sound of the blade suddenly echoed.
Mihawk slowly lifted the black sword and then swung it toward the distance.
Whitebeard, standing on the Moby Dick's bow, slashed back.
Clang hum!!
A harsh humming sound exploded.
An emerald green blade of energy appeared, flying straight toward Whitebeard.
Shuh!!!
Boom boom!!!
Where the emerald sword light passed, the ice cracked and shattered.
Countless ice shards flew into the air.
Seeing this, the pirates along the way shouted in alarm, their faces full of panic.
"Not good!"
"Run! Escape quickly!"
Their voices echoed as the pirates fled.
But their movements were slow.
Before they could get away, Mihawk had already arrived, the emerald blade striking down.
Boom!!!
Ugh!!!
A series of screams broke out.
The pirate hit by the sword light died on the spot, while those nearby were blasted into the air by the immense force.
Doom!!!
On the bow of the Moby Dick, Whitebeard didn't flinch at Mihawk's slash.
With a calm smile, he stood firm.
Just as the emerald sword light was about to strike, a burly figure suddenly charged forward from the icy battlefield below.
The figure rushed straight toward the emerald blade.
A loud crash followed.
Boom!!
The burly man grabbed the sword light with both hands.
The terrifying force pushed his body back, but he didn't let go.
Clenching his teeth, he shouted fiercely:
"Drink!!"
In the next moment, under his immense power, the menacing emerald blade's force was reversed.
It was thrown high into the sky.
"Call out!"
Boom!!!
A tremendous roar echoed through the air.
After a dazzling flash of light, the battlefield fell silent once more.
The terrifying crack left on the ice from the slash was clearly visible.
Ahead of the Moby Dick's bow, a thick plume of smoke lingered.
"Blocked?!"
"The world's strongest slash was blocked?!"
The Marines gasped in disbelief.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the burly man's figure was fully revealed.
The sailors stared, startled.
"Then... who is that?!"
"That's the captain of the Third Division, Diamond Joe!!"
His eyes fixed on the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk, in the distance.
In the next second, Diamond Joe suddenly grinned at Mihawk.
"Shoutout!!"
His tone was provocative.
"Your slash isn't so special, is it?"
Mihawk said nothing in response and didn't attack Whitebeard again.
Instead, he slowly sheathed the black sword, Ye, on his back.
Doflamingo, standing nearby, chuckled softly.
"Shoutout, shoutout, and stopped by one blow?"
"This doesn't test the difference in strength at all."
Hearing this, Mihawk glanced coldly at Doflamingo.
Turning to leave, he said,
"There's no need. It's already failed."
Doflamingo was slightly stunned by Mihawk's sudden departure.
He frowned and asked,
"You're leaving?"
"The war has just begun, hasn't it?"
At this moment, not only Doflamingo, but also the other Seven Warlords present, and the Marines—including Admiral Akainu—focused their attention on Mihawk.
For Doflamingo's question, Mihawk didn't even look back and replied coldly:
"I'm not leaving. I'm going to fight."
"My opponent... is waiting for me."
Mihawk's words caused the Seven Warlords' expressions to change simultaneously.
They were shocked and speechless.
At that moment, Doflamingo, Hancock, Moria, Akainu, and the surrounding Marines all felt their pupils shrink sharply.
Disbelief filled their eyes.
"An opponent...?"
Doflamingo muttered in surprise.
Everyone turned their gaze to Mihawk's forward direction.
Above the ice, a man stood quietly.
He had a high ponytail, black and red hair, and wore a pair of sunflower-shaped earrings on both ears.
Holding a dark red long sword, he stood calm amid the chaos.
Within two meters of him, several bodies lay in pools of blood.
But he paid them no mind.
Boa Hancock's pupils trembled slightly as she whispered,
"That is... the opponent of the world's greatest swordsman?!"
Akainu frowned tightly, staring at the man with a stern expression.
"One crew member alone can match Mihawk...?"
"The low-ranking members of this crew are already so powerful—what kind of strength does their captain have?!"
His eyes slowly shifted to Kronos, who was standing mid-air.
"What exactly are these people?!"
Nearby, Moria, hearing that Mihawk's opponent was just a random Kamui Pirate crew member, felt his pupils contract sharply in disbelief.
"Just a crew member?!"
"Strong enough to be Mihawk's equal?!"
"Is this a joke?!"
