Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mihawk?

The number one swordsman in the world?

William paused, not quite understanding the meaning.

To challenge this man, you have to go through Mihawk?

As if seeing William’s doubts, Kuro raised his head and said, “You are a swordsman, right? With a sword on your waist, you are a swordsman.”

“I am now the number one swordsman in the world. Mihawk, that idiot, has been demoted. He is number two.”

“I’m different from Mihawk. He can accept anyone’s challenge, but I can’t. If you want to challenge me, you have to defeat Mihawk first. Defeat him before you can challenge me.”

William’s pupils shrank and he exclaimed, “The world’s number one swordsman?! You?!”

“What? I’m not worthy?” Kuro’s eyes narrowed.

“No, I’m just a little surprised… Has your swordsmanship reached this level? I thought there was a little distance. Sure enough, my previous feeling was right. You have been too strong since you were a child.”

William pursed his lips, thinking of the past, and sighed again.

Kuro waved his hand. “What’s the use of looking back on the past? Look forward to the future, child. Once the contract is signed, you will be the new Shichibukai. Okay, this is Marine Headquarters, not Pirate Headquarters. You are not suitable to stay here. Go back to your route.”

“I don’t want to stay long.”

William turned and walked away.

How could he think of staying in Marine? If he could leave, he would naturally leave. Anyway, he had achieved his goal.

However, just as he left the office and walked to the door of the largest building, William was suddenly stunned. He seemed to have forgotten something.

His bounty… and still 100 million.

After becoming Shichibukai, shouldn’t it be longer?

“Forget it, Marine will look into this kind of thing. I also killed so many people. Before the announcement, my bounty should be increased.”

William shook his head and continued to walk forward, mainly because he was too lazy to stay here. There was always a sense of oppression.

Admiral White William has officially become Shichibukai and governs a sea route.

This news spread throughout the world by Newsbird in a few days.

“This kid…”

In the palace in the middle of the island next to the desert, Crocodile looked at the fresh newspaper and his face darkened. He bit his cigar and looked uncertain.

The kid who challenged him actually became Shichibukai?

“I knew it, that guy Kuro, even if he is an enemy, it doesn’t matter. After all, he is from his hometown in East Blue!” Crocodile gritted his teeth and put the newspaper aside.

On the side, Darz Bonis said lightly, “Recently, there are rumors that Hawkeye personally admitted that he lost to Luciru Kuro, the position of the world’s number one swordsman. Now it is his.”

“Humph, do you think it’s real or fake?” Crocodile looked at Daz Ponis.

The latter was silent, unable to make a decision.

Crocodile smiled and said: “Let me tell you, this answer is true, because that man, Kuro, is indeed ridiculously strong. And I have also touched Hawkeye, he is not a man who can lie.”

“When I was dealing with Barret, I knew that he and Mihawk would fight. I just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.”

“The number one swordsman in the world…” Darz Bonis crossed his arms, his eyes were still cold, but there seemed to be some yearning and expectation in his eyes.

Although he was an ability user, he was also a Swordsman and wanted that position.

But he did not expect it to change hands now.

“But why didn’t the news come out on a large scale? Is Hawkeye trying to hide it? No, he’s not that kind of person.” Daz Ponis couldn’t understand this.

Although he had only met Hawkeye a few times and only fought with him once, he knew that Hawkeye had the spirit of the world’s number one swordsman. He was not that kind of person.

“It’s not Mihawk we’re hiding, it’s Marine.”

Crocodile narrowed his eyes and said: “Marines have big movements, there must be some. This news is hidden, that is the matter of Lucilu Kuro. The recent news, there is Akainu, Fujitora, Green Bull, but there is no Kizaru. As long as these generals are dispatched, they are all at the news level, there will be reports afterwards, even the Vice-Admiral will be reported. But Kizaru, that guy, has not moved for a few months. There must be a problem.”

Once upon a time, there was news of Garp crossing the Upside Down Mountain. Once those veteran Vice-Admiral moved out, there would definitely be news afterwards, not to mention the Admiral. Anything he did would be news.

As someone who has always been paying attention to the news and looking for intelligence from the news, whether it is pirates, Marines, or Revolutionary Army, he will carefully observe the news.

But strangely, Kizaru was the only one on Marine’s side who did not move.

As his right-hand man, Kuro, who is already world-famous, has been acting very strangely recently. Even the battle of Blackbeard did not get a lot of news, which is a little unbelievable.

As for the trip to the Country of Peace, he made many inquiries and combined them with ‘rumors’ to confirm that Kuro went there and had a conflict with Kaido and Charlotte Lingling.

Now, the matter of the number one swordsman in the world has been directly concealed.

What are the Marines going to do? Seal off the entire Kizaru faction?

No, that’s impossible. Marines aren’t that stupid. Those are two important combat forces.

“The current situation… I still occasionally see Kuro, but from the news, it will give people a feeling of only showing a little, and there will be a storm behind, as if there is some big news, but Kizaru has disappeared, maybe…”

Crocodile thought of something and his pupils shrank. He gritted his teeth and said, “That guy, is he going to be promoted to Admiral?!”

“Admiral?”

Darz Bonis was also a little moved. “Rusilu Kuro? He is a general, with his personality… another Akainu?”

“No, it’s not just that.”

Crocodile shook his head and said, “He is different from Akainu. He is much more cunning than Akainu. If he is promoted to Admiral, his policy towards pirates will definitely change. It will no longer be him, but a third of Marine will change and the survival of pirates will be further reduced.”

Shichibukai has become a force to be reckoned with in his hands. Although Crocodile doesn’t care, this is indeed different from before. In Crocodile’s view, this is Kuro’s strategy in itself.

This greatly reduces the number of pirates in the first half of the Grand Line and also forces them to fight pirates in the New World. This is only the ability to command seven people.

If he was promoted to a general and had real power, it would be a cold winter for pirates.
