The top powerhouses all have their own unique temperaments, such as moody people like BigMom, steady and cautious people like Sengoku, and free-spirited people like Karp.

And Hawkeye Mihawk's character is a textbook-style "out-of-the-world master" template, born arrogant and reckless.

In a nutshell:

What is pleasing to the eye is another matter; If it doesn't please the eye, kill it.

If Galen showed his cowardice in front of Mihawk and directly admitted that he had forcibly opened up with the other party by means of tricks, Mihawk would definitely be annoyed and angry because of the deception and insult he had received.

But Galen, who is as unaware of the sky and has no cowardice, has played into his arms.

Galen not only slammed Hawkeye head-on, but also blatantly changed the concept:

I can block your slash, not because my abilities are too weird, but because your blade isn't sharp enough.

If you tell other strong people this slightly provocative sentence, there is a chance that the other party will be annoyed.

But Hawkeye Mihawk was deeply touched by this sentence:

Whether it's swordsmanship or fruit ability, none of this really matters.

As the world's number one swordsman, could it be that his sword blade would be afraid of those strange swordsmanship and fruit abilities?

There is no invincible swordsmanship in the world, and there is no invincible Devil Fruit.

The swordsmanship powerhouse and fruit ability who were defeated under this black sword have long been unknown, and nothing in the world can completely block his slash.

However, today, there is indeed a "strongest shield" that even Hawkeye's black knife is helpless.

Mihawk tightened the hard lines of his face, and his eyes were sharp and sharp like knives.

After a moment, Mihawk, who stood as silent as a sculpture, finally sighed:

"I can't cut it yet."

"You won."

Hearing Mihawk's declaration of admitting defeat, Galen was slightly surprised.

The mystery of pretending to escape is to accept it when it is good, and Galen, who has already been seen through a little mystery by Mihawk, immediately showed the humility and respect of "learning after being born later":

"Nope. My swordsmanship cultivation is still very shallow, and I can take your slash all by that style of swordsmanship. ”

"How can this be considered my victory?"

"Humph!"

Mihawk snorted lightly and said in a cold voice:

"I didn't lose to you, I just lost to that style of swordsmanship."

"But..."

Mihawk asked with interest:

"It's impossible for mere swordsmanship to completely resist my full force, what kind of means are you using?"

"My fruit abilities."

Galen once again used the almighty Devil Fruit as a shield:

"My Devil Fruit confers many special abilities, and this style of sword skill is one of them."

"Okay."

Mihawk nodded, and accepted the statement.

For him, it doesn't really matter what means the other party uses;

The important thing is that in the lonely career of standing at the peak, there is another thing worthy of his challenge and can allow him to hone his kendo.

Although the opponent's strange "fruit ability" blocked his strongest slash at this moment, Mihawk believed:

As long as his blade is strong enough, there is nothing absolutely indestructible in the world.

And this new challenge that suddenly crossed him will inevitably become a stepping stone for him to step onto the higher peak of kendo.

A high-spirited battle intent gradually emerged in his amber pupils, and the slender body towering on the sea was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, and an unstoppable invisible momentum soared into the sky, and there seemed to be thunder in the silence.

"I have a request."

Although it was a 'request', there was always an irrefutable force in Mihawk's deep voice:

"I'm short of a sword test stone to sharpen my black sword, and I hope to be with you for the time being."

"Absolutely glad."

Galen readily agreed, and he didn't have the courage not to say yes anyway.

..................................................................

The Dreadnought Saber continued its march towards Alabastan, finally entering the waters surrounding the Kingdom of Alabastan after a long voyage.

Although the dazzling golden sword flag hanging on the hull of the ship was unrecognizable in the great passage, many pairs of eyes still noticed this strange giant ship from the East China Sea.

It was none other than Crocodall, the target of Galen's trip, who noticed Galen's whereabouts.

After reading Galen's information, Klockdahl realized that this knight of the East China Sea, who had a shallow reputation on the Great Passage, was actually a tricky character:

Pretending to be a hero, engaging in infiltration, and conspiring to steal the country coincide with his clever plan.

Although there is a huge difference in level between the remote and small kingdom of Goya and the Kingdom of Alabastan, Krokdal also has to admit that this knight of the East China Sea is very clever.

What's more, in the midst of the Society's vigorous investigation of Galen, Klockdahl was somewhat surprised to find:

There is a question about the origin of the defected female agent from the work club who was cited by Galen as a cronie!

Before Weiwei was recruited by Galen, she was a mid-level agent candidate in the work club, and she was a conspicuous figure below a dozen mid-level and high-level agents.

And no matter how simple and low-key Wei Wei lived when she was a princess, she would always leave traces.

It's okay not to investigate carefully, once the true identity of the princess of the Vivina Kingdom is vigorously discovered, it will be revealed.

Klockdahl immediately became nervous:

What is the reason why he dared to attack the great kingdom of Alabastan and went so smoothly?

And it's not because of the poor handling of domestic affairs by the Alabastani royal family.

And now, Klockdahl is surprised to discover:

There is a careerist who is not inferior to his own resourcefulness and the royal princess has hooked up, and has blatantly revealed his intention to meddle in the internal affairs of Alabastan.

Once the king changes his mode of action because of this guy, it will inevitably have a great negative impact on Klockdahl's plan to steal the country.

Naturally, this is not the situation that Klockdahl wants to see, and this unknown knight of the East China Sea has naturally become a thorn in Klockdahl's side and a thorn in his flesh.

After a careful analysis of Galen's intelligence, Klockdahl finally discovered his opponent's most fatal weakness:

Not strong enough.

Despite the discrepancies in the information received, Klockdahl could roughly guess that Galen was not much stronger than Mr. 1.

Although this kind of strength was already considered a good hand in the first half of the Great Channel, it was obviously not enough in front of him, a person with the ability of the Seven Martial Seas and the Natural System.

After thinking about it for a long time, Klockdahl, who has worked hard to transform into a resourceful role in recent years, quickly regained his brutality and ferocity as a pirate, and sentenced Galen, who had never met before, to death in his heart.

His plan was simple and crude:

Set up a sentry in the waters around Alabastan, then intercept Galen at sea before he arrives in Alabastan, and let the nosy knight of the East Sea sink in the sea with the restless royal princess to feed the fish.

After the subordinates of the work agency sent the information of the dreadnought, Klockdahl immediately took action about it, and even personally took a boat to the sea to carry out the interception mission.

Not only did he come in person, but he also came alone.

Because Klockdahl knew that Galen could defeat even his strongest agent, MR.1, then the remaining shrimp soldiers and crabs in the work club might not be able to do anything about Galen.

Moreover, Klockdahl wants to continue to disguise his identity.

In order to play the positive role of the hero of Alabastan, Klockdahl has always relied on the secretary Robin to make one-way contact with the subordinates of the work club, and no one in the work club knows the true identity of the president except Robin.

And MR.1, who was regarded as a capable man by Klockdahl and held the chief position in the work club, did not even know until his death that the big boss on his head was actually a famous king of the Seven Martial Seas.

So Crocodall came to sea alone, and quietly sailed close to the Dreadnought Vanguard Sabre, which Galen was riding.

Seeing the dazzling golden sword banner, a cruel smile couldn't help but appear on Klockdahl's face:

"Want to steal my business?"

"Then please stay on this sea forever!"
