ch 107

"We meet again, Dracule Mihawk." Talking inwardly then showed an amused smile while staring at the world's strongest swordsman.

"…Ryuhei Yamazaki. We meet again. It is coincidence ." Mihawk responded to Ryuhei's greeting.

"You seem to be in a very good mood." Mihawk asked as he noticed Ryuhei's state of mind.

"Yes, I am in a very good mood. My wife just gave birth to a healthy baby." Ryuhei said. Right now he's in a good mood. Who wouldn't be in a good mood to have another pretty baby girl.

"Oh… Congratulations." Mihawk said and took out a small bottle of wine from his pocket. He took a sip and tossed it over to Ryuhei.

Ryuhei unhesitatingly grabbed the bottle of wine and drank it.

"Your wine is delicious." Ryuhei threw the wine bottle at Mihawk and continued to speak.

"So what are you doing here, Mihawk."

"I was just walking around to pass the time." Mihawk said then continued to take another sip of wine. A notorious pirate, Mihawk is not ambitious or cruel and his only goal in life is to outdo another swordsman.

"Bored… hm…" Ryuhei put his hand on his chin and looked towards a nearby island.

"Want a little match with me? I haven't had a decent match in quite a while. ' said Ryuhei as he pointed to the island near them.

Mihawk immediately showed a rare smile. Actually, Mihawk's purpose in coming here was because he wanted to have a match with Ryuhei. Mihawk is definitely not a combat junkie but he clearly has certain standards when it comes to choosing his opponents.

As the strongest swordsman, he is also one of the strongest in this world. The only person in this world who can compete with him in swordsmanship is probably only Shanks.

"Okay… I want to try fighting you too." Mihawk replied.

After that, the two went to a deserted island not far from Gabriel.

"What kind of battle do you want to fight? Obviously you're not a swordsman." Mihawk said.

"Yes, I am not a swordsman. But my sword skills aren't bad." Ryuhei said as he took out the Ascalon and swung it a few times.

On the opposite side, Mihawk also drew the sword from his back. Although this was just a fun friendly match, Mihawk did not dare to be subjective.

Although his opponent was not a swordsman, Mihawk understood that Ryuhei's physical strength and speed was certainly formidable.

"Ready, Mihawk." Ryuhei said that and covered his sword with Haki.

" Ready ." Mihawk said and did the same thing as Ryuhei, coating his Yoru sword with Haki.

In just a moment, the two instantly disappeared from their places. Mihawk swung his sword horizontally and Ryuhei immediately blocked his sword attack.

Ryuhei then turned around and jumped up, at the same time he swung his sword down and Mihawk immediately blocked Ryuhei's attack.

And just like that, the two continued to exchange techniques with each other. Mihawk and Ryuhei increased their speed and strength as they felt their muscles heat up.

"Your swordsmanship is really good. It's better than most swordsmen in this world. "Mihawk gave praise while repeatedly blocking Ryuhei's slashes.

"I have a friend who is very good with swords. His dream is to become the strongest knight. I learned a little bit when I sparred with him." Ryuhei said while jumping backwards. He then tightened his muscles, and at the same time a red aura began to form on his sword.

Mihawk seeing this he also raised his Yoru sword, a green aura dancing around his sword.

After fully charging their attacks, the two unleashed their swords on each other. Mihawk's air slash is green while Ryuhei's is red. When the two attacks collided, there was a huge explosion that caused many trees and rocks to be completely destroyed.

And after a while, both Ryuhei and Mihawk were now drinking together.

"Undoubtedly the strongest swordsman in the world, your swordsmanship is truly something top notch." Ryuhei said impressively.

"…But I am the one who lost." Mihawk said.

"It's because my physical strength and speed are better than yours. When it comes to swordsmanship, you are much above me. It was a really good game." Ryuhei said.

Mihawk didn't answer but just nodded while taking a sip of wine, both unaware that they had accidentally become drinking buddies.

"Mihawk, join my peerage. Your swordsmanship has reached its peak and it can no longer grow. What's holding you back is the human limit and there's no one else in this world who can compete in swordsmanship with you."

Mihawk remained silent without replying to Ryuhei's request. More precisely, Mihawk knows what peerage is and he also knows about Ryuhei coming from another world. In fact, it was Saeko who first asked Mihawk to join Ryuhei's peerage. However, he still couldn't think of an answer at that time.

The World's Strongest Swordsman both in name and in reality. Mihawk is one of the strongest pirates in the world. Even before the Great Age of Pirates, he was famous for defeating increasingly powerful enemies until there were no more worthy challengers, and now he reigns at the top as How to be the strongest swordsman in the world.

So being able to go to another world to fight the strong is a really attractive thing in Mihawk's eyes.

"I will accept your offer…" Mihawk replied.

"Hahaha. Very good…" Then Ryuhei took out the red Knight piece and explained.

"This is the Knight piece, it not only makes you devil reborn, but also gives you a huge increase in speed." The Knight piece then slowly entered Mihawk's chest.

The strongest swordsman in the world immediately opened his eyes wide when he felt the change in himself. Mihawk's body slowly rejuvenated, and at the same time he also felt a burning sensation in his chest.

Mihawk immediately looked down at his chest and frowned uncomfortably at the cross above his chest.

"From now on you have become a devil so you are weak to the cross." Ryuhei then begins to explain to Mihawk about Devil's strengths and weaknesses. After explaining, the two continued to discuss many things with each other.

"I heard that Doflamingo is working for you?. ' Mihawk said.

" That's correct . He's pretty good at it. Later on he will become your comrade and Garp."

"I don't think Garp would accept working with someone like Doflamingo. Garp's sense of justice is very high." Mihawk said

"You don't have to worry, I'll definitely keep Dofi's leash so he doesn't do anything out of control." Ryuhei answered, then stood up and continued speaking.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to my family. "

***

After returning to Gabriel, Ryuhei introduced Mihawk to everyone before he brought the doctor and nurse back to the Whitebeard Pirates. The white bearded crew members were chatting happily with each other when they immediately stopped when they saw Ryuhei's teleportation circle.

"Brat, how's it going?" Whitebeard said when he saw Ryuhei's appearance.

" Everything is very good, my wife has successfully given birth." Ryuhei came and sat next to Whitebeard. Not a single member of the Whitebeard Pirates dared to comment on Ryuhei's actions. They all have great respect for him because he helped the Whitebeard Pirates a lot.

"Guararara congratulations, congratulations." Whitebeard said while patting Ryuhei's shoulder. Although Ryuhei always refuses, Whitebeard still considers Ryuhei as his family. It's not that Whitebeard considers Ryuhei his own son, but rather Whitebeard considers Ryuhei more like a brother.

After receiving congratulations from Whitebeard and the members of the Whitebeard Pirates. Ryuhei returned to Gabriel, who was now relaxing on the bed with Ei-chan sleeping on his belly and and Nilou-chan was sleeping beside him.

"This is heaven." Ryuhei muttered while looking at his two daughters' adorable faces.
