Chapter 15: Pigs Might Fly

Luffy suddenly started laughing loudly, " Hahahaha...this is the most hilarious joke i have ever heard. " he stopped laughing and continued, " If a weakling like you can become the pirate king by getting his hands on a journal, then pigs might fly in the sky. "

The chefs started trembling in fear after hearing his statement. They tried to warn me and started telling him about run away from here or you are no match for him or something similar like that. Luffy just ignored them and kept looking at Krieg with a mocking smile.

Krieg was really angry this time, " What did you say kid? Can you repeat that. " He pointed his gun at Luffy and said in cold voice.

" Have you gone senile! I said a pathetic weakling like you will never be able to find One Piece. You can't even survive in the first half of the Grandline let alone becoming the Pirate King. " Luffy said to Krieg with the same mocking voice.

Then Krieg shouted about how even his large fleet of five thousand pirates perished in only a week.

Krieg then started laughing and pointed at Kaya, " Is that blondie your only crewmate? "

" No, this pink beauty is also one of my crew. " Luffy said while looking at Reiju. She just shook her head, " Don't include me. " But Luffy just acted like he didn't hear anything, so Reiju angrily shouted at him, " Hey don't ignore me. "

" Listen kid, i will take care of you later. I have to feed my crew members first or they will die sooner than later due to hunger. " He said to Luffy, then looked at the chefs, " I will kill all of you, if you insist on staying in this restaurant. I don't care about anything except the journal and this ship. " He picked up the sack and left the lobby.

All the staffs also left the place, except Zeff, Luffy and Kaya.

" Old man, how about i take care of them and you convince Reiju for joining my crew. " Luffy asked Zeff. Zeff smirked after hearing about the deal, " Why should i make a deal like this, when me and Reiju can take care of them. "

Luffy's smile vanished form his face, " Old man if you keep playing like this, she will really stay here forever. I know you also want her to leave this place. So stop this bullshit and make a decision before it's too late. "

Zeff's thoughts were in a mess due to his cruel remarks. He remained silent for a while, but eventually he just sighed and nodded in confirmation. Luffy also finally relaxed after seeing his nod.

Just when he was about to follow Krieg, he sensed a very powerful person was heading in there way.

' So finally the number one swordsman is here. '

Luffy told Zeff about Mihawk and left the restaurant with Kaya. Zeff, Reiju and the rest of the staffs were also followed them after a while.

Luffy heard the enraged voice of Krieg and soon after the massive ship was sliced apart in two like hot knife cutting butter.

Then the man responsible for this also came into their view. The person was the legendary number one swordsman in the world, Hawk-Eyes Mihawk or otherwise known as Dracule Mihawk.

Mihawk was a tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, mustache and sideburns that point upwards. His nickname comes from his strangely colored red eyes, which resemble a hawk's eyes.

His outfit was black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger, which gives him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman.

His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wears light purple pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size.

He also had a kogatana around his neck, appearing as a golden cross-shaped necklace, and carried his sword Yoru on his back when not using it.

Mihawk was currently traveling with his signature boat Hitsugibune.

It was a black boat resembles a coffin and had candles lit on the edges that burn with green fire. The ship was only big enough for one person. At the center is a mast that resembles a large crucifix, similar to Mihawk's sword, with black sails and a seat for himself.

Luffy felt very excited after seeing his cool boat. Unlike anime in real-life, Mihawk's cool entrance really gave him goosebumps.

While Luffy was checking him, Mihawk was also doing the same. Mihawk felt a very powerful aura from Luffy.

He was also surprised when there was another strong presence besides Luffy.

Then he looked away and was about to start slashing the remaining pirates. When Mihawk fired a air slash, Luffy stopped him by a air slash of his own.

Everyone was surprised by this sudden turn of events.

" Can you please leave them to me? I have a agreement with the old man Zeff for taking care of these pirates, in return for a cook. " said Luffy to Mihawk with a calm manner and started walking towards him while walking on the water surface.

Mihawk was really surprised this time, as he watched Luffy walking on the water surface.

Although he had already seen Geppo, but it was his first time seeing someone walking on water.

But Reiju was touched when she saw Luffy was going to clash against the strongest swordsman for her. She felt very guilty after seeing Luffy's recklessness.

" Boy who are you? " asked Mihawk. Luffy replied in a casual tone, " I'm Monkey D. Luffy, who will conquer the sea one day. "

' So this is the kid Shanks was talking about after returning from East Blue. '

" Alright kid i am leaving them in your care. " said Mihawk and tried to leave but Luffy stopped him again.

" Can you please wait for a moment, i want to show you something. Please watch my sword strike and give me your opinion about my mistakes. " Luffy said and bowed his head a little.

" Okay go ahead. " Mihawk said as he was also somewhat curious.
