One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 616 I'm Different From You

Roman noticed the night as soon as Mihawk entered.

According to Gion, Mihawk appears to have mastered the Black Blade.

But seeing is believing.

Roman wouldn't be at ease until he saw it for himself.

Of course, there are also more intuitive methods than seeing it yourself.

"What happened to you?"

Mihawk was also very puzzled by Black Dragon's unusual behavior.

"I heard you've got your hands on the Black Blade, so of course I want to see it."

"You shouldn't care about something like this!"

Mihawk was puzzled.

Just like she said before.

The essence of the competition between myself and her is a matter of strength and weakness.

The black knife was just an extra.

The Mihawk we know today is slightly different from the Mihawk in the original story.

In the original story, he was troubled by not having a suitable swordsmanship opponent.

Therefore, honing one's skills should be the top priority.

I also have some interest in mentoring others.

After all, they might become renowned swordsmen in the future.

Then let yourself experience the thrill of meeting a worthy opponent.

That's why he had the idea of ​​"raising wolves".

However, the appearance of the black dragon solved the problem in Mihawk's original work.

Roman's words did indeed influence him.

If you can't beat her, then even the Black Blade is nothing special.

It's still not enough.

not to mention……

“I don’t really care, but I can’t deny Black Knife’s status.”

He himself didn't care, but Roman couldn't control whether others cared or not.

Gion, who was present, was practically staring at the knife on Mihawk's back until it was worn out.

And so was Kuina.

She also knew about the existence of the black knife.

After all, she is a descendant of the Frostmoon Clan.

Although she had never lived in Wano Country, she learned quite a bit from her father.

She also understood the importance of the black blade in the entire art of swordsmanship.

However, she was slightly disappointed.

It was Mihawk who reached this level, not Lieutenant General Black Dragon.

"Not yet. My power is not yet complete."

Mihawk simply shook his head.

His black knife was not yet complete.

Others may be deceived by the darkness of the night, but he knows it for himself.

He was still one step away from having a complete black blade.

"Why be so modest? Even if it's not complete, it's already close to the pinnacle. In this era, you're already number one."

Having said that, Roman drew his knife on his own.

This action surprised everyone around.

Mihawk's gaze suddenly sharpened.

His eyes were already frightening, but now they looked even more terrifying.

But he did not make a move.

Because he couldn't sense the black dragon's fighting spirit.

and……

"You've changed your weapon again." The tone was disapproving.

"Haven't I always been like this since we've known each other for so long?"

"A weapon that suits one's own skill level is of great help to a swordsman."

"But as it turns out, even if I don't follow this rule, I'm still very strong. Mihawk, whether or not to follow traditions is still up to you, isn't it? Of course, I don't recommend that you learn this way."

After speaking, Roman looked at Gion, Kuina, and Ein.

Using a famous knife for a long time is certainly a good idea.

This is also the choice of almost everyone who wants to achieve enlightenment through swordsmanship.

After all, the higher the level of weapon craftsmanship, the more powerful and domineering the aura can be continuously enhanced when combined with it.

The skill and familiarity with weapons are equally important for swordsmen.

But for Roman, the quality of the weapon itself was not important.

She was using someone else's strength against them.

All that's needed is a medium.

"I'm just a little different."

Roman said this in a very calm tone.

Although it sounds arrogant.

But everyone knows that this is the truth.

“I am no ordinary swordsman, after all. Don’t try to intimidate me with tradition, Mihawk.”

"That's true."

Mihawk did not refute Roman.

After all, strength is the best proof.

It is more absolute than language.

"But you came to me just so I could teach them?"

"That's right. As a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you should do something for the Navy. Otherwise, what's the point of enjoying your privileges?"

"I have absolutely no interest in this title."

"But you can't deny that this title has brought you benefits. And my student is definitely not hopeless. Especially her, who is almost identical to you in essence."

Roman took Guina's hand.

This made Guina feel somewhat flattered.

Mihawk was then subjected to Mihawk's scrutiny.

Mihawk's nickname "Hawkeye" comes from his terrifying eyes.

Cold and emotionless.

This was Guina's first impression.

She also felt very uncomfortable.

Even so, she did not look away.

She also wanted to see what was different about the guy who was about to master the black knife.
