"Since this is the case, let's take the next step."

Tezzolo stood up and bowed slightly to the group.

He has a smile called "weird" on his face from the moment he enters the door, and you can even read a little sadness and anger from that smiling face, like a madman, making people unable to see his thoughts.

"By the way, there's something I need you to do me a favor with, Tezzolo."

Ron said suddenly, pulling a document out of a drawer and handing it to him.

"Oh?"

Turning back in surprise, Tezzolo quickly restrained his smile and took the document: "Lieutenant General Canglong has an order, and he will follow his orders." ”

In any case, the four people in the current office belong to grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

Dominated by Canglong, it is a result that everyone can accept.

"Help me investigate the internal situation in Wano Country, especially the arms trade between them and the government, I need information...... The more detailed, the better! ”

It's hard to believe that only a small number of top-secret gadgets are actually made by themselves, such as airships, warships, and super-electromagnetic guns......

In addition, most of the ordinary goods, such as flintlock muskets, old-fashioned artillery, and even Hailou stone handcuffs and iron swords that almost everyone is equipped with, are obtained through government trade.

The former government's largest arms dealer...... Well? Who's here?

Ron paused for a second and continued: "The biggest arms deal of the government now, in addition to the Seven Martial Seas Lao Cai of the West Sea Flower Country, the other is the Black Snake General of the Wano Country. ”

"But I'm sure you also know that Kaido, the 'Hundred Beasts', has always worked closely with them."

"I want to know exactly what they're planning, and if not, I can get data on the government's trade with them, and I can analyze it."

This kind of thing is not something that can be done with a single infiltration, it will only be a protracted battle that will take time and effort.

Unless Kaido suddenly jumps out to find someone to fight, if he wants to know the details, he can only inquire little by little.

After all, it is the country of Wano that is "closed to the outside world".

The absolute natural danger that even the navy warships could not enter, gave them enough confidence to ignore the vicissitudes of the sea, cowering inside the island, and closing the door to their own pleasure.

However, it just so happens that money, in front of Tezzolo's "golden" thigh, what is it?

What he has is money!

The poor only have money left!

Anything that can be settled with money is not a problem!

"I see, I understand!"

With that, Tezzolo resurfaced with that strange smile on his face, nodded goodbye to everyone, opened the door and walked out.

……

A few days later, with the announcement issued by the government, the whole world was shocked!

One of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, the "Tyrant" Bartholomy Bear, was arrested by the Navy Canglong for his association with the revolutionary army.

…… All right.

This is the government's domestic scandal, except for a few well-intentioned people, no one cares about this news.

At most, the sea pirates who were active at sea, after the fall of Xiong, began to have some strange ideas, and constantly showed themselves, like male peacocks in the courtship period, trying their best to fiddle with their posture in a vain attempt to attract the attention of the government.

Excluding the bloody process in which they showed themselves, there is nothing wrong with this description.

And then......

The world's No. 1 swordsman, "Hawkeye" Mihawk, was killed on the spot for a duel with Canglong!!

If the previous news only boiled the pot of cold water in the sea, then this news was to sprinkle oil in a hot pot, which instantly caused an uproar.

Xiong is definitely not comparable to Mihawk in terms of popularity, he is at most a Seven Martial Seas active in the Great Voyage, and a loyal government dog in the eyes of outsiders.

Except for the guys who are more concerned about the three major forces of the sea after entering the Great Voyage, few people will specifically inquire about the news of a rough-looking man.

But Mihawk is different!

Even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he exists, there will be countless people who will inquire about him.

Because he is the "world's number one swordsman!!

Any human, non-human, pirate, navy, great voyage, four seas, with a katana in his hand...... Anyone who calls himself a swordsman is familiar with the names "Hawkeye" and "Jorakmir Mihawk"!

That is their constant pursuit in this life, to challenge him, to become the new first, is their eternal dream!

But you told me today, this goal, well, if you say no, you don't have it?!

Suddenly, the whole world was in an uproar!

Great Voyage, on an unknown island.

"Zoro, what's wrong with him?"

Sanji walked out of the room with a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at Zoro standing in the rainstorm square with a sword, frowning silently.

"I don't know."

Robin shook his head, closed the book, and followed Sanji's line of sight.

"Perhaps, it's looking for a way forward."

"Compared to this, hasn't Luffy woken up yet?"

"You know, Ace is his brother after all...... What's more, he was so badly injured. ”

Sanji was a little silent when he heard this, and the cigarette in his hand burned to the end, and the cigarette holder only woke up when his fingers burned out yellow spots.

"yes, that's his brother after all."

Robin let out an indecipherable murmur and slowly touched his arm, feeling a little chill in his body.

Sanji took off his coat very gentlemanly and put it on her shoulder, and the two had no intention of continuing to communicate, just looking at Zoro who was motionless in the rainstorm, letting time pass slowly.

New World, USS Red Foss.

"Mihawk ......"

The rain was heavy, crackling the deck.

An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the dim sparks covered half of Shanks' face in shadow.

His haggard face and untrimmed hair for days made him look very bad, but the eyes, in the dim environment, were bright and scary.

"There's no need to do this, Mihawk!"

"Why did you die?!"

"You don't have to, Shanks."

In the room, Beckman leaned against the wall, silently exhaling smoke.

"You know, he's not the kind of man who would gamble his life with your request, it's his own decision."

"But I gave him the opportunity to make that decision."

A hint of mixed murderous domineering flashed on Shanks's body, causing dense cracks to suddenly appear in the wall, and the orange-yellow wick shook for a while, as if it was about to be extinguished.

“……”

Beckman was dumbfounded.

Is that so?

Perhaps.

But in his opinion, even without Shanks, Mihawk would have gone to that point of no return...... Perhaps, he has already walked that road, but he has not been reminded.

Once people get bored, it's a terrible thing.

Since Shanks broke off, Mihawk's only target is Whitebeard, who is the same "world No. 1" as him but "the strongest in the world".

However, the navy Canglong was born, and in just a few years, he became a murderer who made the sea loud and quiet, and later he was killed alone...... What a joke to say that you are not interested in fighting him?

Swordsmen, as long as they set their goals in that position, have actually embarked on a path of self-destruction.

Mihawk is just the one who has gone the furthest on this road, in this era.

However, the rest of them will not have the vision and wisdom of Beckman.

In the West Sea, Beihai, South China Sea, East China Sea, the whole world is boiling because of Mihawk's fall!

Countless swordsmen resolutely embarked on the road of no return to the sea!

Travel to the uncharted waters known as the "Pirate Grave"!

Why?

Of course, because Mihawk had fallen, and a throne that had no one to replace was vacant.

In this respect, the impact of Mihawk's death is in some ways comparable to the frenzy that was sparked on the day of Roger's public execution.

The world did as he wished.

No one, stop!
