Chapter 46: Give Me a Reason to Get on the Boat!
"If I'm not mistaken, that's what I said at the beginning: 'If we can meet again in the future, if you can use your strength to prove that you are a good captain, I will consider it!'" Mihawk said after a long pause before he looked up at Bucky.
"That's right. Nodding, Bucky still hasn't forgotten the scene from a decade ago.
"To be honest, neither Shanks nor you have any intention of saying yes to the invitation I have made, after all, whether it is to be famous in the world or to travel all over the world, I have already done it, and there is no need to join any of the pirates. But whether it's you or Shanks, the strength has been recognized by me, although I haven't really fought with you yet, but with the domineering color of the overlord, as long as you are not a fool, the strength will not be bad there. At this, Mihawk paused.
"I have never agreed to Shanks' invitation, so naturally I don't need to say any more, for your invitation, I will definitely not make you give up like this if I refuse it like this. Therefore, as long as you can do one thing, I promise you. Mihawk replied after a lot of thought.
"What's the matter?" After seeing that the dream of accepting the little brother in one game was directly shattered before it began, Bucky also asked helplessly.
"Give me a reason to get on board, and if you can give such a reason, I'll agree to join your pirates. ”
After hearing Mihawk's conditions, Bucky frowned.
This condition is more troublesome than imagined, and Mihawk's meaning Bucky understands that there is only one, that is, he has to come up with something that Mihawk himself is interested in.
As for the reason or something, it's all bullshit, as long as he's not interested, he can refute any reason.
Standing straight opposite Mihawk for a long time, when Mihawk was a little impatient, Bucky suddenly spoke: "Mihawk, in your eyes, what is the so-called kendo?"
Looking at Bucky in amazement, Mihawk really didn't expect Bucky to ask this.
However, this question is not easy to answer, after all, Mihawk himself still has some doubts.
Yes, there are some doubts, don't look at Mihawk now being regarded as a great swordsman, and his strength is also first-class strong, but in the way of the sword, it has a bottleneck because of the increasingly powerful strength.
In the past, when I was weak, I relied on constantly challenging the strong to make myself stronger, but now, how can I continue to become stronger and go further on the road of kendo, this is Mihawk's doubt!
"You're not a swordsman, are you interested in kendo?" Mihawk didn't answer, but asked back at Bucky.
"It doesn't matter if I'm interested or not, the important thing is that you're interested, so that can be your reason to get on the boat, right?"
In response to Bucky's rhetorical question, Mihawk became more and more confused.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Mihawk asked in a deep voice.
"It's very simple, you agree to my invitation, and I tell you about a piece of information I got about the relationship kendo before. ”
Looking at Bucky, Mihawk smiled dumbly, it turns out that this guy's purpose is this!
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that a so-called message made me agree to the invitation?" Yes, Mihawk genuinely thought Bucky's offer was ridiculous.
"I don't think, really. With a serious expression, Bachka replied with a mihawk.
"But I think it's ridiculous!" Mihawk said as he looked at Bucky with an equally serious expression.
"Devil Fruit ability can make people immortal, do you know? Domineering cultivation to a certain extent can shatter the void, do you know? The five realms of sword path, do you know? You don't know anything, because the world you came into contact with before, the use of power is too rough. It's okay to laugh at not knowing, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Take myself, do you really think that my abilities stop at the improvisations I just had? Keep your eyes open to see how far you can use your Devil Fruit abilities!"
After speaking, Bucky was in the sight of Mihawk and Hancock, slowly dissipating from under his feet, and when it completely dissipated, it slowly condensed again.
Seeing this scene, Mihawk, who is usually so cool as a poker face, couldn't help but grow his mouth.
Bucky's use of abilities does subvert his knowledge, because it's not the same thing as Shanks' split.
"Ten years after Rogue Town, I have traveled all over the seas, and I have seen countless strange people and wonders, and the most impressive thing for me is an unnamed sea area in the New World, when I was walking with the moon, suddenly a golden light rose from the bottom of the sea, and then a small island slowly surfaced. Speaking of this, a look of remembrance appeared in Bucky's eyes.
"I landed on the island with curiosity, there was nothing on the wet ground less than a hundred meters in radius, and the only thing that caught my attention was the large, four, small and five stone tablets in the middle of the island. The largest piece reads: For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies and traitors, defeated all the heroes and heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep sea, and take fish as friends. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. The Sword Demon is lonely and seeks defeat!"
Just such a paragraph, Mihawk's eyes suddenly lit up after listening to it.
"Sword Demon, I've never heard of such a title, and with curiosity, I continued to read. Four small tablets from left to right, the first one reads: fierce and fierce, indestructible, before the coming-of-age ceremony to compete with the heroes of the four seas. There is a small pit behind this stele in which a rusty war knife lies. The second piece reads: Crape myrtle soft knife, used before the age of thirty, accidentally injured the righteous ominous, but abandoned in the deep sea. After looking at the stele, I looked towards the pit behind the stele, and sure enough, there was nothing. This is followed by the third piece, which reads: Heavy knife without edge, great ingenuity and no work. Before the age of forty, he was rampant in the world. With that, Bucky stopped talking.
"Brother Bucky, what's written in the fourth block?" Well, Mihawk couldn't hold back before he could speak, and Hancock was too curious to hold back.
Glancing at Mihawk lightly, Bucky said to Hancock: "I can't say it now, you must know the five realms of swordsmanship, and the content recorded in the first three stone tablets is far less important than the content on the last one, you want to know and tell you later." But Mihawk is still an outsider, and it is enough to let him know the sharp knife realm, the soft knife realm, and the heavy knife realm. ”
"Brother Bucky, don't talk about the stone tablet, what happened to that island in the end, did it sink to the bottom of the sea?"
"From the appearance of the island to the sinking, it took less than two hours in total, and if it hadn't happened by chance, you wouldn't have known that there was such a hidden place in the waters of the New World. Bucky said this, and he was also embarrassed.
