One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 140: Shiliew's Request!

Half an hour later, Jozu, covered in blood, was carried away by the people of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, even though he was being carried back, he didn't have a single wound on his body. Shiliew had defeated Jozu not by breaking his defense, but by inflicting heavy damage with his power—in other words, a force-penetrating attack that harmed him internally. As for the blood, it was all coughed up from Jozu's mouth.

Having defeated Jozu, Shiliew was not happy. He returned to the "Thor" with a gloomy expression of dissatisfaction.

"That wasn't a very satisfying fight, was it?" With a smile, Issho was the first to ask Shiliew.

"You knew and you still ask," he shot a glare at Fujitora, but unfortunately, this expression was wasted, as Issho couldn't see it at all.

"You had to defeat your opponent, but you also had to control your strength to prevent an accident from turning a serious injury into death. It's normal not to be satisfied. I hope the opponent I encounter won't require me to do the same," having watched from beginning to end, especially the final stage, Mihawk could also empathize with Shiliew's feeling of dissatisfaction. After all, a tough man like Jozu was worthy of respect.

"Captain, after this battle is over, can you do me a favor?" Ignoring Mihawk's muttering, Shiliew walked directly to Buggy and asked.

Looking up at Shiliew's serious and determined eyes, Buggy seemed to have thought of something. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If it's about a battle, I think I know what you're thinking. Is it about a battle?"

"Yes. But Captain, do you really know what I'm thinking?" Shiliew was very surprised by Buggy's reaction.

"A real battle, am I right?" Buggy continued to ask.

"Hahahaha, it seems the captain is the one who understands me the most. Yes, I just want a real battle without any restraints," Shiliew replied very seriously.

"No problem. I was even considering whether to include your battle in the plan. Speaking of which, that seems quite interesting too," as he spoke, Buggy looked around, rubbed his chin, and then fixed his gaze on two people.

"So you're supporting me," Shiliew said very happily.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. You need to test yourself, so feel free to give it a try. But you have to wait until this battle is over. Also, I still need to make some arrangements," rubbing his chin, Buggy replied thoughtfully.

"As long as you agree," Shiliew replied with great anticipation.

"Mm, rest up and adjust your condition. Mihawk, it's your turn," nodding, Buggy said to Mihawk.

"Yes, I've also grown impatient from waiting."

Mihawk wasn't lying. Waiting from morning until almost evening had indeed made one a bit impatient.

Leaping onto the ship's rail in one go, Mihawk, just like Shiliew, sent a slash towards the Moby Dick. However, Shiliew's slash was a vertical one that cleaved the ground as it advanced, while Mihawk used a horizontal cut. The giant slash flew through the air towards the massive Moby Dick.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Great Swordsman Joraquille Mihawk," almost at the same time Mihawk acted, the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' 5th division, "Flower Sword" Vista, jumped onto his ship's rail.

Then, he drew two swords and swung a cross-slash that flew towards the giant slash.

With a loud "BOOM," the two slashes met in mid-air and exploded after a violent collision.

However, on the Whitebeard Pirates' side, not a single person who saw the explosion had a good look on their face.

The reason was that after the explosion, the blast wave did not spread outwards, but was pushed by an invisible force and rolled towards the Moby Dick.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood its meaning. Both were slashes, but "Flower Sword" Vista's cross-slash was inferior to Joraquille Mihawk's.

Although it couldn't be said from a single slash that Vista was inferior to Mihawk, the clash of slashes was very telling.

Hmph!

Seeing that his slash was weaker than Mihawk's, Vista snorted coldly, then jumped directly onto the venue and ran quickly towards Mihawk's direction.

Without any smug expression, Mihawk, carrying his black blade, also leaped onto the venue and then rushed towards Vista.

As the two figures got closer and closer in the center of the venue, three cold glints suddenly flashed. In the next second, they collided with each other.

After a piercingly sharp clang, one figure was uncontrollably sent flying, retreating dozens of meters before barely managing to stop.

"Impossible!" For a moment, this word appeared in the minds and on the lips of the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In the Whitebeard Pirates, when it came to swordsmanship, "Flower Sword" Vista was said to be the best. Even the 4th division commander, Thatch, was not his equal, which was why Thatch had fought Fujitora instead of Vista.

But such a person, the strongest swordsman on the ship, in a contest of swordsmanship, was actually sent flying a great distance by the opponent in a single move. How could anyone accept this?

Let alone others finding it hard to accept, even Vista himself found it hard to accept.

"Is it hard to accept? Did you know that a few years ago, after Shiliew got his Devil Fruit from the captain, the first time he compared swords with me, I was in a worse state than you? I was directly sent flying over a hundred meters," seeing Vista's pained expression, Mihawk said very calmly.

"Uh... the power Shiliew displayed just now... it seems he really could do that," after hearing Mihawk's words, Vista immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"By the way, Joraquille Mihawk, what's with your sword?" As a swordsman, Vista had long noticed that Mihawk's black blade was not black right now, but had a mysterious, faint blue color.

"You noticed," nodding, Mihawk admitted it readily.

"One of the 12 Supreme Grade Swords, the Black Blade, how could it become like this? It couldn't have been reforged, right?" Vista was a little shocked at this moment, because he suddenly remembered that when the other swordsmen had fought earlier, the color of their swords was about the same as Mihawk's.

"It was indeed reforged. The captain obtained a special metal from outer space. After adding it to a weapon, it not only increases its sharpness but also makes the weapon more sturdy and durable. Of course, there is one small drawback: as the amount added increases, the weapon itself becomes much heavier."

After hearing Mihawk's explanation, Vista said with some envy, "Red-Nosed Buggy really has some skills, to be able to get a lot of metal from outer space."

"This is a benefit for the members of the Red Nose Pirates, and a unique one at that."
