Luffy had just easily knocked out Don krieg as zeff and the others were suprised by his speed.Zeff walked up to luffy aa he looked at him strangely.
"I never thought I'd see a rookie pirate manage to use haki or even see a person use haki in the east blue."said zeff suprise on his face.
"You know what haki is?"asked luffy despite already knowing zeff must already have haki knowledge.
"Ofcourse I do but when I quit being a pirate years ago I never dreamed of seeing a user of haki in the east blue other than vice admiral garp and your so young usually mastering haki takes years "said zeff.
Zeff and luffy's conversation was interrupted as Don kriegs ship which was already damaged was split in half from a slash.
Luffy turned as he saw mihawk sitting on a small boat.Jin face then turned to a terrified expression as he saw mihawk the man who had single handedly wiped out their whole fleet.
Zoro seeing mihawk immediately rushed out of the baratia as he wanted to challenge him.Luffy did not stopping as if it gets too bad he can always try healing zoro's wouds.
"Is he suicidal or something mihawk is the world strongest swordsman."shouted elmepo."Don't worry about him he knows he can't win but he wants to see how large the gap is between him and mihawk."said luffy as his face was serious.
Zoro stood infront of mihawk as he bowed down as he challenged mihawk to a battle."I will agree to your challenge."said mihawk as he pulled out a small knife from his coat pocket.
Zoro face expressed confusion as he wondered why mihawk didn't use the sword on his back." I have no blade smaller than this knife I'm sorry if it's above your sword skill level said mihawk."said mihawk a bored look on his face.
Everyone on the baratia has a look of shock. "How does mihawk expect to beat zoro with a butter knife.?"asked ussop confused.
Zoro swung his swords at mihawk but mihawk blocked them easily as he swiftly stabbed zoro in the chest.
Zoro was suprised but immediately swung jigoku as it clashed with mihawks butter knife sending zoro flying back.
"Three sword style secret technique sanzen Sakai."said zoro as he disappeared appearing behind mihawk.
Zoro's two swords immediately shattered to pieces as his eyes widened.Zoro got up and placed jigoku back into his sheath as he turned as he opened up his arms welcoming defeat.
"Why are you accepting defeat so readily?"asked mihawk."Because a scar on a swords man's back is a disgrace."replied zoro.
Mihawk looked at zoro with suprise as he slashed him causing blood to splatter everywhere as zoro fell into the sea.
Mihawk touched his deck as their was a slight cut on it as he looked at Zoro's sinking figure in astonishment it had been years since any swordsman muchless a rookie had harmed him.
Luffy then jumped into the ocean grabbing zoro placing on the deck as zoro was covered in alot of blood.
Luffy started controlling the blood in zoro's body as everyone watched as the blood started returning to the wound.
Luffy then placed his hand in the water as his black eyes turned blue and blue markings started covering his whole face.
He placed his hand on zoro's chest as the wound gradually began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
