"Are you kidding?" Mihawk frowned, eyeing Ron skeptically.
Haki? Learning it in an instant?
"I'm not surprised by your genius, but I can clearly sense that you didn't use Haki during our fight. Are you saying you learned it during our fight?" Mihawk felt a sense of absurdity and almost wanted to burst out laughing.
"Huh!" A chuckle escaped.
It wasn't Mihawk or Ron laughing - it was Monkey D. Dragon. The fact that such a stoic figure found it amusing spoke volumes about Luffy's father's amusement.
Haki, whether it's weaponry or observation, is not something you just pick up on a whim. It takes countless hours of training and practice. You, young man, claim to have learned it in a moment of confrontation? That's ridiculous!
Monkey D. Dragon couldn't believe it.
Mihawk himself found it unbelievable.
It seemed impossible in this world, but Ron was the exception.
With a sigh of relief, Ron looked at his data panel. If he hadn't learned Haki from Mihawk's attack, which nearly cost him his life, he wouldn't have been able to fulfill his wager with Tashigi to defeat Mihawk, who wielded Haki.
Mihawk's ability to predict and enhance his attacks and defenses with haki made him virtually unbeatable. Even Ron's techniques outside of sword-fighting, such as the full-strength Wolf's Fist, which increases speed, or his physical enhancement techniques such as Iron Tree Gong, and even his Flame Sword Technique or Broken Air Palm, wouldn't be enough to defeat Mihawk.
Ron couldn't defeat Mihawk; he could only hope to retreat.
It was clear to Ron in this battle that Mihawk, the world's strongest swordsman who could match Shanks, was indeed comparable to the Four Emperors.

Haki!
Both of their four-dimensional attributes reached two hundred!
Ron examined his data panel and noticed the instantaneous acquisition of Haki. The understanding of the Haki techniques flooded his mind, and within a split second, he fully understood their use.
Strength is still three points away from reaching two hundred, and Spirit is only sixteen points away from reaching two hundred, which is soon enough to reach two hundred for all four dimensional attributes!
How strong am I at this point?
Ron remembered the experience of understanding Haki, and the physical increase, and strength, and the increase in agility and spirit; it was just terrifying!
You must know that the later the stage, the more terrifying his four-dimensional attribute is, the harder it is to increase his strength!
"What a perverted plugin!" Ron couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. This kind of instant full level with skill points is really a kind of unsolvable ability. Instant full level, all kinds of abilities through Haki instantly understood, just amazing!
"And what kind of spirit is that, is it Haki Awakening?" Ron glanced at the hint after the fully leveled Haki, but now is not the time to study that; now is the time to defeat Mihawk before talking about anything else!
"Mihawk, let's decide with one move, shall we?" Ron said calmly. His current strength is not the same as it was just now. If he was only a match for the strength of the four emperors, now he feels like he can fight with the strongest of the four emperors, White Beard. With his current 2 full levels of Haki and terrifying four-dimensional attributes, he has the certainty that he can fight with White Beard. Whether he can win or not, he does not dare to say one hundred percent, but there is also ninety percent certainty. After all, there was no battle. The most important thing is that he did not eat any Devil's Fruit. That one-in-one probability is the space left for the Devil Fruit ability.
"Don't give up yet?"
Mihawk doesn't think Ron can beat him, but since he's confident, he has to strike again to let Ron know the huge gap between him and himself.
Monkey D. Dragon also shook his head, feeling that Ron was making a gesture and not admitting defeat.
But they saw Ron raise his hand slightly, and a thick black streak swirled across the broken body of the Dream Sword, and a sword of a strange color appeared in Ron's hand.
"What?" Mihawk took a cold breath. He clearly felt the black lines on the sword in Ron's hand. Is it not Armament Haki?
"This..." Monkey D. Dragon almost didn't believe his eyes. What did he see? "This is really the Armament Haki? This, how is this possible?" Obviously, he wouldn't have used Armament Haki before? But now this kind of use of Armament Haki has unexpectedly reached such a terrifying realm... "How is this possible, how is this possible!!?"
Monkey D. Dragon almost had a brain freeze. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what this was all about!
Mihawk couldn't imagine what was going on, but now that he was in the middle of a fight, he didn't have much time to think about it because Ron was already attacking!
"Basic Swordplay Technique: Slash!"
Yes, Ron's move was just an ordinary one, from the most common slash in the basic sword art. His body rushed towards Mihawk, not too fast or too slow, just an ordinary slash.
Mihawk's pupils narrowed, and he actually had the feeling that he had no way to avoid it!
"This is observation haki. He has anticipated and blocked all my other movements. All I can do is fight back!" Mihawk realized as he used his own observation haki. He found out that even under the observation haki, he couldn't judge Ron's mistakes, nor could he predict Ron's next action. But all of his own actions were seen by the other party.
This indicated that the other party's experience was much stronger than his own performance!
"How can this be?"
Mihawk's heart was filled with horror, but he had to face Ron's sword attack.
Swoosh!
Brush!
After a swish, Ron's long knife landed on Mihawk's neck, and the cold blade touched Mihawk's neck, confirming that he was truly defeated!
"Me, I was defeated like that?" Mihawk frowned. The moment his big black blade made contact with Ron's sword, the other party's blade suddenly turned and landed so smoothly on his neck.
"This is unbelievable!" Mihawk slowly put down the sword in his hand and looked up at Ron. There was a strange mix of emotions in his eyes - happiness, loss, and more relief. "You won, Ron!"
"From now on, you are the number one swordsman in the world!"
