Chapter 319 - War 13.

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Marineford, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

In a hidden place in the New World. "Chief Dragon!!!" One of the Revolutionary members shouted immediately as he approached Dragon.

"I heard..." He spoke with a serious tone while the war was still being broadcast by Bepo in front of him.

"What's going to happen? Your son is being targeted by one of the legendary Gorosei after the broadcast we heard?!" The man exclaimed, imagining that Dragon wouldn't let his son die in the middle of the war.

"He won't die." Dragon simply stated and began to step forward.

"I'm heading there too... so I want you guys to take care of things here." He said while many were still tending to an unconscious Sabo.

"Wait... Dragon!" One of the Revolutionary commanders tried to stop Dragon, since it was very dangerous, he even exclaimed, but Dragon just exploded the ground at that moment, disappearing from everyone's view and shooting into the sky.

Dragon had a determined look as he sped away from the hideout, heading towards the Red Line and beyond it, Marineford.

No one imagined the number of forces heading to interfere in the war at that moment, the whole world was about to see even more chaos amidst that fight, meanwhile, the war continued at the same pace, but many eyes stopped to watch two people facing each other at that moment, in the midst of that chaos.

The fights around them paused for a moment, hearing only the explosions in the sky and the distance. The footsteps of Hugo still echoed through the battlefield due to being the largest creature there, as he fought the Tenryuubito in the air, breaking the ice below him with his movements.

"It's been a few months, but I still want my rematch... Mihawk." Zoro commented, standing in the crater he had created as he landed after killing the CP0 member.

"Let's see how much you've grown..." Mihawk commented as he prepared to face Zoro, lifting his black sword.

"I'm honored that you're using that sword from the start." Zoro cracked a small smile.

"..." Mihawk remained silent, keeping his guard up as he looked at Zoro; he knew this was no longer the brat he had met in the East Blue, this would be a duel between true swordsmen, though still very surprised by Zoro's growth.

"They're going to fight!" A pirate murmured in surprise as both swordsmen stared at each other even with Marineford swarming with monsters at that moment.

Nami landed beside them while facing some marines and giants, generating wind and destruction, while Zoro and Mihawk still held their gaze locked on each other.

Explosions also arose from the other side as some attacks broke through Kizaru's defense and exploded against the marines after Usopp used his power of Bahamut. The marines exclaimed as they ran while the ground was destroyed and some of them were directly hit.

A moment later, both exploded the ground, advancing against each other at that moment, under the gaze of many. Mihawk, moving at high speed using his green energy, clashed against Zoro's three swords, which emitted dark red energies. The following year, a shock explosion occurred on all sides, as they stepped back a few steps and disappeared the next moment, while the area began to explode with energies from Zoro and Mihawk clashing as the ground started to explode in that entire area.

"We need to get out of here!!" Both the pirates and the marines exclaimed as the ground exploded and created a curtain of dust and debris in the air, the two swordsmen emerged in the middle of it while still suspended in the air with their gazes still fixed on each other.

Zoro, maintaining the same smile, felt his swords pressing against Mihawk's. "This is the strength I wanted to test," he said, his swords glowing with an even more intense light, beginning to expand from it.

Mihawk, even with an impassive expression, maintained a challenging gleam in his eye. "Then, let me see how far you've come, Roronoa Zoro," he responded, the Yoru in his hands also emitting a sinister glow.

Both energies seemed to cover their users still in the air, as they began to contend against each other at that moment, like two flames trying to overpower one another.

They separated the next moment and again advanced, creating a clash between the blades with the sound of the blade cutting the air, which was almost like a howl. Zoro blocked the attack with his two swords, the third wedged between his teeth. The impact again generated sparks and another shock wave that made the earth tremble. Zoro gained a slight advantage with an opening and advanced with a vertical slash against the swordsman.

Mihawk would not be easily cut and dodged effortlessly; he counter-attacked with a powerful vertical strike, aiming to split Zoro in half. Zoro, using his agility, leaped back, narrowly avoiding the blow.

"You really have improved, Zoro," Mihawk commented, admitting with admiration. Perhaps in a few years, he would have a worthy challenger for the title of the world's strongest swordsman, and for Mihawk, that would be good; after all, when you are at the top, your growth stagnates significantly.

Zoro took a few steps back to balance himself on the ground and with a fierce look, he did not want to be underestimated at this moment, "It's not over yet!" He then advanced, unleashing one of his most powerful strikes, "Blade of Darkness!" Zoro exclaimed, and his blades became blurs as he slashed in a rapid series of movements that seemed to draw a soldier mounted on a horse of energy in the air.

Mihawk watched that and quickly put his sword behind him, waiting for the attack while also emitting energy and prepared an attack as powerful. The world's greatest swordsman at the next moment cut the air, launching an energy against Zoro's strike.

The energies exploded the next moment, making the entire bay tremble as strongly as the fight between Luffy and Whitebeard, making everyone look at the dispute between them.

"This..." Vista looked with admiration at that fight, as did many swordsmen.

"What a fight..." Doflamingo, despite the anger and hatred he harbored for the Straw Hat crew, still kept a look of admiration for this dispute.

"..." Boa Hancock, Moria, and Kuma stayed silent while the wind from the dispute affected them as well as all of Marineford.

"Incredible..." In Loguetown, the people at the dojo could not be more surprised by this, watching their Sempai fight in that way.

The explosion of the two energies continued in Marineford, until suddenly they disappeared with Zoro and Mihawk appearing in the middle of it with both clashing their swords, while time seemed to slow down, with the sound of metal competing against each other.

The next moment they seemed to press their blades more and a sharp sound came from them, while it seemed one was cutting the other and something happened.

Zoro in front of the frozen tsunami he had cut and Mihawk in front of the frozen tsunami on the other side, maintained an equal gaze, until they finally separated the blades from each other, but in the next moment, all of Marine as strong as the entire world, saw the two frozen tsunamis being entirely cut, rising in the air while splitting in half in a horizontal cut.

All the marines and pirates opened their eyes wide as their mouths hung open for that scene happening in slow motion.

"What... is this!?" They exclaimed together seeing those huge blocks of ice flying into the air, and falling behind them while the sound of water was heard causing a change in the sea level in that area.

"..." Sengoku and Garp stayed silent while Ace was once again shocked by the strength of the swordsman under Luffy's flag, he recognized that he could not defeat this swordsman, perhaps not even Vista, his crewmate and the most powerful swordsman under Whitebeard's flag.

But even with the tsunamis disappearing from the bay, while everyone still looked at it with alarm and admiration, Zoro and Mihawk did not stop the fight there as both advanced against each other again, disappearing in the air and turning into figures clashing against each other while their energies were released.

"Gurararararara, you have a very good kid on your crew." Whitebeard laughed and spoke before bringing down his Murakumogiri in a vertical cut against Luffy in hybrid form hitting against this blade on the ground lifting Ace, while the ground below him was all cracked with the force of Whitebeard.

"You're right, this is the swordsman who will become the greatest in the world, only fitting for the crew that will become the emperor of all seas," Luffy spoke confidently.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, kid!" Whitebeard exclaimed and launched with his other hand a fist that cracked the air and sent a shockwave toward Luffy.

"Let's see how this goes." Luffy commented as he stepped back and, before making a move like Whitebeard, punched the shockwave with his own fist, using armament haki and king's coating.

Both the shockwave and the fist collided and emitted a sound of striking each other, while Luffy finally managed to explode that force with his own haki.

After that, Luffy landed on the ground looking at his fist, satisfied with the outcome of the dispute with the strongest man in the world.

"..." Whitebeard looked on with a surprised expression, though he said nothing, inside he was wondering where this monster came from, this kid simply attacked him and in the middle of the fight began to learn the most powerful haki in the world within an hour. He not only began to learn but entered the first stage of haki, which was alarming even for the man known as the strongest in the world.

For Luffy, it was a great satisfaction, after all, this fight gave him so much more than he could imagine. Fighting against Whitebeard was like having 50 times his training if he had been training alone as he did with other hakis. This one hour became 50 hours, and multiplying 100 times with the moa moa no mi, his training amounted to 5000 hours yielded in this fight, which gave a massive amount of 208 days of training, i.e., 7 months learned in a matter of one hour.

It was no surprise that Whitebeard was so shocked by Luffy's development, what kind of monster would emerge if he continued this fight for a whole day? Luffy smiled at the end, although he still hadn't scratched the potential that the king's coating could do, he achieved the start to develop this haki, and even though he couldn't fight any more with Whitebeard, as he still needed to fight against the navy and Luffy could not wait any longer to save his brother, he then decided to start acting.

"This was very interesting Whitebeard, but we still have some things to sort out..." Luffy suddenly said.

Whitebeard just nodded, understanding what he meant. "You've already taken a lot of my time, kid, I hope this helps you get your brother out of there," he spoke with a smile at the end.

"You can count on that, so let's get started," Luffy said and turned his back on Whitebeard as he walked away from all the chaos he had created with that fight.

Everyone immediately noticed his movement and looked at Monkey D. Luffy, who began to walk towards his ship, while Whitebeard returned to the Moby Dick. Everyone saw that Monkey D. Luffy was about to take action.
