Although Kuro used a little trick in the end, the combat wisdom itself exists, and he can't fight like a beast.
Kuro's killing intent blade is a characteristic of a Luo Gui, just like Mihawk's blade can be soft and flexible, soft and hard. This is the characteristic of the blade used by the Sword Hero, which exists by itself.
Under the same conditions, Kuro forced him to retreat out of the boundary, which was his strength, and he won.
He is very arrogant, but when facing Kuro, who is at the same level or even higher than him, he can treat him as an equal, because even if he releases his full combat power, it is actually almost the same. Then the result of this kind of competition where strength is suppressed is the same.
Mihawk knew this very well, so he admitted defeat very quickly.
And for Kuro…
"???"
Three question marks appeared on Kuro's head. He was stunned for a while and suddenly reacted.
'Yeah!'
What the fuck …
He seemed to have accepted Mihawk's invitation and came to gamble with the world's number one swordsman.
"Wait, wait…"
Kuro rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said with a headache, "Why don't we forget about it? Look, you didn't use your real strength and I didn't use mine. We can't fight. You should sit in this position. I'm not interested in this."
Mihawk's eyes narrowed when he heard this, he suddenly swung his black blade and his battle intent burst forth, "Do you mean to fight an indiscriminate battle? I am happy to!"
Kuro wanted to slap himself and quickly denied, "No, no, no! Pretend I didn't say that I am the world's number one swordsman!"
Mihawk smiled. "Sit down first, I will come back for it."
His long-cherished wish was fulfilled. Mihawk was invincible among swordsmen, but he just wanted others to surpass him so that he would have the motivation to move on.
Therefore, from the past, even if he was the number one swordsman in the world, he did not reject challengers and was frantically looking for qualified challengers.
Until he met Kuro, the man closest to his throne, he finally surpassed himself and sat in that position.
Which means that he, Mihawk, has a new goal.
"This is really… hot-blooded." Mihawk smiled faintly.
"Wait, wait, wait."
Seeing that Mihawk seemed to be unwilling to give up, Kuro said with a headache, "I remember I won. You have to promise me a few conditions."
"Isn't there one?" Mihawk asked.
"Okay, then one."
Kuro simply agreed. "My condition is very simple. You have to announce to those swordsmen that before challenging me, they have to challenge you first. Only after defeating you will they be qualified to challenge me."
Unlike Mihawk, who looked for challengers everywhere, Kuro was very annoyed by this thing. The best way was to find a shield.
Mihawk is a ready-made shield. Although this position is given to him now, his strength is here. No matter what, he is the world's second greatest swordsman. He is here to resist the challenger. In this way, he is very free and does not have to deal with those who want to be the world's number one swordsman.
As for who can defeat Mihawk?
For swordsmen, it basically does not exist.
When that person really comes out, it doesn't matter to Kuro. If he is really that powerful, I will give him the position.
Moreover, he and Mihawk fought with pure swordsmanship, but it does not mean that a capable swordsman is not a swordsman. A pure swordsman is a pure swordsman, but a swordsman is also a swordsman if he is not a pure swordsman, such as Darz Bonis, who Mihawk remembers.
Once he uses his ability, no one can beat him.
Mihawk heard the request and nodded thoughtfully. "I see. You are indeed a proud man. You don't want the weak to come close? Okay, I agree."
Kuro was speechless.
"Think what you want."
He sighed.
To be honest, he has become more and more indifferent to such things recently.
There is no need to worry about lice, and he has a lot of things on his hands. Be it title or reputation, he is famous in the sea.
In terms of power, he has the overall planning and selection rights of Shichibukai and the command of the Marine Intelligence Spy Agency, 'Sword'. He is also a Marine Vice-Admiral, a reserve Admiral and Kizaru's direct subordinate.
In terms of reputation, it doesn't matter if he defeated the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and defeated Blackbeard.
In the past, he was neither famous nor small and was coveted by others. Now that he is famous, there are fewer people who covet him.
The most important thing is that he is not a general, as long as he is not a general, he is not a general. Facing a dangerous level like Yonkō (Four Emperors), the first person in line is definitely not him.
The old man can hold on for 20 years. In another 20 years, with the current turbulent world situation, the world must have changed long ago.
According to the development, it will definitely not be as intense as now. So what if I become a general?
As long as the core plan does not go wrong, he can do whatever he wants now.
It's mainly because it's fine if it doesn't work. At this point, it's probably impossible to think about demotion.
Too lazy to continue talking to Mihawk, Kuro stretched out his hand and golden powder fell from the sky and wrapped Luo Gui up again. He then called Autumn Water back to his waist and flew to the port.
Kuro looked at Red Hair and asked, "Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"
"Oh? Are you going to buy me dinner?" Red Hair laughed.
"I'll treat you to red meat, do you want it?" Kuro gritted his teeth.
"Is it good?" Shanks smiled.
"Shanks, he means to take a knife to you," Ben Beckman said.
Shanks was stunned and scratched his head with a smile. "Hahahaha, then there's no need. Little ones, let's go."
With that, he waved his hand and the cadres of the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates left with him.
"Hey, Mihawk, are you going for a drink?" Shanks suddenly paused and looked at Mihawk who was still on the island.
"He doesn't need you to ask."
Kuro said unkindly, "It's fine if I didn't see it, but if I saw it, how can Shichibukai mix with pirates?"
"Hahaha, you have a point. Then I won't make it difficult for you. Next time drink, Mihawk."
Shanks shrugged, waved at Mihawk, and left.
On the way, Ben Beckman asked, "Hey, Shanks, is this really okay? We are being used."
"There's nothing bad about it. I roughly know who is using me. Those Marines want this reputation. They want to make Kim Jong-un a Admiral. Coincidentally, I also want it. When he sits in that position, his eyes will not only be on one place."
Shanks smiled. "Admiral, it's very busy."
