Chapter 97: Doflamingo: Are You Sure You Aren't Provoking Me??

In the Logue town tavern, Doflamingo was flipping through a newspaper in his hand.

"Another one got done in...." Doflamingo sighed.

Beckman on the side poured him a glass of wine, and then said: "Before you said that the next 20 years would be the golden age of piracy, but now I see that's not the case... Pirate King Roger was arrested , this is about to be executed, the Pirate Overlord Golden Lion Shiki has also been captured, and is now locked up in Impel Down. If there is no accident, the next step is Whitebeard... to become a pirate at this time, is it really suitable?"

Doflamingo took a sip and said, "If everything went according to Marine's wishes, this sea would have been pacified long ago, just wait and watch..."

As soon as Doflamingo's voice fell, he felt someone looking at him, with a sharp look.

He thought it was that sullen guy Crocodile who was chasing after him again, so he turned his head and looked at the place where his sight came from.

Then, he was a little surprised, he didn't pay attention to the guy sitting in the corner when he entered the door, wasn't he Mihawk?

That's right, Mihawk, who was sitting in the corner at this time, was looking at Doflamingo with his hawk-like gaze that was extremely oppressive...well, he was looking at the sword on his waist.

Seemingly noticing Doflamingo's reaction, Mihawk quickly withdrew his attention from Doflamingo's sword, raised his head and moved his gaze upwards, confronting Doflamingo.

The young Mihawk doesn't wear any hat, but he still has a very outstanding temperament, like a young master of a noble family that has been passed down for many years.

He was wearing a floral shirt with a lapel collar, but it didn't look fancy. Around his neck was a small gold chain and a pendant that looked like a cross.

With Doflamingo watching, Mihawk slowly stood up from the corner.

His height is also different from ordinary people, but compared with Doflamingo, it is still a bit short, and it should not be as tall as three meters.

The body is not burly, but the aura is very sharp, standing there, it is like a sharp knife out of its sheath.

Soon, Mihawk was in front of Doflamingo.

"What's the matter?" Doflamingo tilted his neck slightly and raised his eyebrows.

"Heavenly Yaksha Don Quixote·Doflamingo.....a bounty of 196 million Beli is offered, right?" Mihawk asked.

His tone was very cold, as if Doflamingo's bounty of nearly 200 million Beli did not put any pressure on him.

Doflamingo smiled and said, "It's me... You mean to say that you are a pirate hunter, so you fell in love with my head and want to exchange it for gold?"

"No, I'm not a pirate hunter." Mihawk shook his head seriously.

"Then who are you?" Doflamingo asked again.

"My name is Dracule Mihawk, and I am a swordsman." Mihawk said.

Then, without waiting for Doflamingo to speak, Mihawk continued: "According to the information released by Marine, you should not be a swordsman... right?"

"Uh..." Doflamingo looked at Xindu at his waist and said, "I may be, I may not be. Say what you have to say."

"Ninth of the Twelve Supreme Swords, Xindu, known as the fiercest demon sword, am I right?" Mihawk looked at Doflamingo's waist again and asked.

Doflamingo nodded and said, "That's right... this is it, what's wrong?"

"If you are not a swordsman, I suggest you not to choose the demon sword when choosing accessories." Mihawk looked into Doflamingo's eyes and said: "Would you sell it?"

As a swordsman, Mihawk naturally has a strong interest in famous blades. This interest did not dissipate until he became the world's number one swordsman.

Now, when he sees Doflamingo, who is not a swordsman, with a powerful weapon hanging on his body, how can he not be moved?

This guy Mihawk belongs to the kind of person who can do whatever he wants. He is a pirate, but in fact he is not a pirate in the true sense. He doesn't like looting towns, killing people and setting fires.

It's just that in the course of becoming famous as "the world's number one swordsman", because of his unscrupulous character, too many tragedies were caused.....For example, in a bustling town, he suddenly drew his sword to challenge a master swordsman, and finally leading to the destruction of the town in their fight, and such cases.

There are too many messy things, and he finally turned himself into a pirate.

To be honest, if it weren't for Roger's execution here soon, and if it weren't for Doflamingo's nearly 200 million Bailey bounty, Mihawk wouldn't bother with words.

He would just grab the sword directly!

Doflamingo felt a little funny when he heard what Mihawk said, and couldn't help waving his hands and said, "Sorry, this knife is not for sale."

"Why? If it's just for decoration, I can find you a more gorgeous sword." Mihawk asked immediately.

His character, to be honest, is too straightforward.

"In the information given by Marine, I may not be a swordsman, but in fact, I have completed the job change not long ago, and now I am on the road to becoming a swordsman... So this saber is very important, and I cannot simply sell it to you." Doflamingo patiently explained.

After hearing this, Mihawk had a look of understanding in his eyes and said, "So that's it... I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

But after he finished speaking, he looked Doflamingo up and down, hesitated for a moment, and said: "But with all due respect, you don't seem to have the edge and refinement, the temperament of a swordsman..."

Doflamingo: ? ? ? ?

We were just talking, where did this personal attack come from?!

His face twitched for a moment, and Doflamingo asked, "What kind of temperament is the so-called temperament of a swordsman?"

After hearing this question, Mihawk didn't even hesitate, and said directly: "The eyes are clear, the mind is focused, and we move forward bravely."

Doflamingo froze for a moment, then asked, "What do you think I am?"

"Deep scheming." Mihawk answered the question immediately, and then added: "If you want to climb to the top of all swordsmen, those with deep scheming will have no chance."

Doflamingo still hasn't figured out if Mihawk is really honest, or is he mocking him?

Beckman on the side couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahahaha...․Sorry...Sorry, I didn't mean it. To be honest, we navigators have been professionally trained and generally don't laugh unless we can't help it hahahaha." This guy Beckman was telling the truth, he was indeed more composed than the rest of the crew.

At this time, they had already started to hold their stomachs, slapped the table and laughed.

Doflamingo is really embarrassed right now!

Doflamingo took a deep breath, then looked at Mihawk and said, "Before deciding how to treat you next, I want to ask, are you here to provoke me because you don't like me?"

Mihawk looked at Doflamingo with clear eyes, frowned with some doubts and said, "Why do you ask that? I have no prejudice against you, I'm just very interested in Xindu, that's all."

Judging by Mihawk's expression, he shouldn't be kidding, combined with his character traits shown in the original story... No, he wasn't so straightforward in the original story, right?

There seems to be a little bit of his personality shown, like his life with Perona, but it's not like this, right?

But after thinking about it, Mihawk was already the number one swordsman in the world at that time, and he had experienced many ups and downs, and some changes are normal. At this time, Mihawk was about the same age as himself, and he was still young. A gifted kendo genius who may have devoted all his life to kendo. He is a little... strange, but it's not incomprehensible.

Thinking of this, Doflamingo sighed slightly: "Do you have any friends?"

"Does the sword count?" Mihawk responded naturally.

Well, sure enough, he has no friends too, with his character and what he said, it would be strange to have friends!

Doflamingo raised his hand to pat Mihawk's shoulder. In fact, the moment he raised his hand, Mihawk had already sensed his movement trajectory and hesitated for a moment, but he did not dodge after all.

Doflamingo patted Mihawk on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Mihawk, to be honest, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll have to hold that knife for the rest of your life."

Thinking about this guy, in the original story, he seemed to be living alone on an isolated island with a group of monkeys.

Doflamingo looked at Mihawk even more strangely, aristocratic temperament, isolated island, living alone in a castle... You are more like a vampire than me!

Mihawk froze for a moment, then said: "Thank you, what's wrong with that?"

Yes, what's wrong with holding a sword my whole life? I am a swordsman!

Doflamingo didn't say anything more about this matter, and continued: "If you are only interested in famous swords, I still have one at home, one of the twenty-one great swords. If you are interested, you can come and find it. I can sell that one to you when the time comes."

Having said that, Beckman raised his glass and asked, "Would you like to sit down and have a drink together?"

Mihawk looked at Beckman, then at Doflamingo, finally set his eyes on the wine glass on the table, nodded and said, "Alright."

Although he didn't buy Xindu, Mihawk inexplicably felt that his mood seemed to be much happier at this time.
