On the other side, Dracule Mihawk was carrying Yoru on his back, sitting casually on a piece of broken building debris. His cowboy hat was lowered, his legs were crossed, and he showed no sign of doing anything.
He was just watching this battle like it was a farce!
As for Doflamingo, who was also present, he looked quite bad.
There was an unbelievable look in his eyes, and his face was very ugly:
"One minute! Two people combined can't even last a minute! Especially that fellow Moria, who took the initiative to make a move, but was instantly defeated in return. It's a shame!"
"Damn it! This guy, how did he survive an encounter with Kaido of the Beasts? Where did he get the courage to be so arrogant in front of me?"
Doflamingo couldn't believe it--
Not to mention Crocodile. Although Rob gave him an opportunity, at least he made two big moves. But that Moria guy went up and got himself defeated. Now he's completely lost his combat effectiveness.
This unbelievable gap in combat power made Doflamingo's mindset unstable.
Now he's beginning to realize...
The real clown might be himself!
"Hawkeye!"
At this moment, Doflamingo turned his head to look at Mihawk who was sitting beside him:
"Aren't you ready to make a move?"
He alone probably wouldn't be Rob's opponent.
Even with Crocodile and Moria who have already been defeated, the same is true, but Mihawk is different. Among the four of them, although Mihawk is a lone ranger, his strength is indeed the most terrifying!
Only by pulling Mihawk to fight with Rob will he have a chance!
"It doesn't matter."
Looking at Doflamingo, Mihawk with a casual face directly opened his mouth and said:
"I can wait for you guys to finish fighting before challenging Rob! He won't mind, and it won't take too long! With your strength, he should only need a few seconds to finish you off!"
"It's only ten seconds, I can afford to wait!"
Hearing Mihawk's words.
Doflamingo's face was gloomy, his expression was extremely ugly, and he exuded anger towards Mihawk:
"You..."
At this moment—
thump!
thump!
thump!
There was a sound of footsteps, and Rob held Shinto in his hand, walking from the side with a calm and normal expression.
He casually said:
"It still takes ten seconds to kill a Doflamingo? Hawkeye, in your eyes, am I that weak? You should not look down on me that much!"
At the same time as the voice fell, Rob had already stopped his footsteps, glanced at Mihawk casually, and finally looked at Doflamingo, who was vigilant and sweating, obviously aware of the huge gap between the two sides!
"Um?!!!"
Stared at by Rob's plain eyes, Doflamingo's hair stood on end, and his expression froze in an instant.
In Rob's calm eyes, he felt a deadly threat, coming from the body's instinct to avoid crises, urging Doflamingo to stay away.
Doflamingo, who followed his own instinct very much, naturally backed away without hesitation, distancing himself from Rob and Mihawk.
The two strong men here—
No one is his comrade in arms, including the "colleague" Mihawk. What he could trust was only his own instinct and his own strength.
"Take the initiative and distance yourself?"
Seeing that Doflamingo chose to distance himself from him without hesitation, Rob did not stop him, but acknowledged it:
"This is a very good choice!"
Swish—
Raising the Shinto in his hand, Rob's eyes locked on Doflamingo:
"However—creating distance can only be effective in a duel between strong players of the same level! And the gap between you and me is too large. Our strength levels are completely different, so distance loses any effect."
Sensing Rob's killing intent, a scarlet flame-like demonic aura rose from Shinto.
Rob spoke again:
"Just like this—I want to kill you, some moves are enough!"
Seeing Rob in action, Doflamingo's complexion changed drastically, and the deadly aura became stronger and more piercing.
He loudly tried to stop Rob's attack:
"Wait a minute! You can't kill me, I'm a Celestial Dragon!"
Rob's eyes widened suddenly:
"So what? In this world, there is no one I, Rob, dare not kill!"
The voice fell.
Zheng—
Rob practiced swinging the sword, and after pulling the Shinto away from him, he swung the sword directly at Doflamingo, who was now planning to escape with all his might!
Bang—
This strike seemed ordinary.
Even the iconic flying slashing aura didn't come out, but the moment Rob swung the sword down, everything on the entire battlefield that was higher than the height of Rob's swing was cut horizontally in an instant.
Whether it was a dilapidated building or a small hill, everything was cut horizontally by the same attack at the same time, including the place Mihawk was sitting on, and none of it survived Rob's blade.
"Madman!"
Doflamingo roared. While Rob swung his sword at him, Doflamingo unreservedly launched his own Devil Fruit ability, using his most powerful awakened skill:
"Sixteen Holy Assassin's Bullets!"
The ground instantly turned into white silk threads like an ocean, forming sixteen huge white waves. He infused all his Armament Haki into the threads, then stabbed towards Rob.
Only—
The next moment Doflamingo's attack was launched, Rob's slash collided head-on with the Sixteen Holy Assassin's Bullets, cutting through the Armament Haki-infused threads.
Then, Rob's attack split Doflamingo's awakened technique, nullifying it completely!
Then—
Puff!
The invisible slash, passing through all of Doflamingo's defenses, landed directly on his body. It broke through the Armament Haki covering his body and cut off the hands he raised in defense!
"Puff—"
Spitting blood, Doflamingo's hands were severed, and the slash continued through his body, reducing his life force from its peak to a mere flicker, like a candle in the wind!
Puff—
The two halves of Doflamingo's body flew backward and smashed into a building. A steel bar pierced through the back of his head, nailing his mutilated upper body to the wall before it fell.
All of a sudden—
His last bit of vitality, like a candle in the wind, was extinguished directly.
One strike.
Rob ended Doflamingo's life and the grievances between them that had dragged on for several years.
"It's over."
After taking a look at Doflamingo's death, Mihawk stood up again, showing no surprise on his face.
The strength gap between the two sides was vast. From the moment Rob made his move, Mihawk never thought Doflamingo could win. Even if Crocodile and Moria hadn't been defeated, the three of them together would have no chance of victory.
Unless Mihawk was willing to team up with them!
But Mihawk was only here to challenge Rob's sword skills!
He came to single out Rob.
He didn't come to besiege Rob, and he didn't want to be used as a tool. The life or death of Doflamingo, Crocodile, and Moria had nothing to do with him!
Bang—
A strong fighting spirit exuded from his body.
Mihawk turned to Rob:
"Need a break? Or shall we start now?"
While speaking, Mihawk pulled out the supreme grade sword that had transformed into a black blade from behind him. Now, it should be called the Black Blade Yoru, which is more accurate!
Rob looked at the supreme grade sword in Mihawk's hand—Yoru.
He spoke:
"Black Blade... So you've refined it into a black blade? No wonder you're confident enough to challenge me! It seems your sword skills have grown to an unbelievable level. That's impressive!"
Mihawk nodded, not denying it, and said directly:
"That's right! Ever since I forged my blade into a black blade, I feel my swordsmanship has reached a new level... But to be on the safe side, I chose to continue training. Now, simple exercise has made my progress slow down."
"And at that moment, I knew it was time to come to you! Either defeat you and become 'the strongest,' so I can go further, or be defeated by you again, to gain more pressure and keep improving!"
Swish—
Holding the huge black blade Yoru with both hands, Mihawk locked onto Rob. The sharp aura emanating from his body became very intense. At this moment, Mihawk had truly stepped into the top echelon of the sea.
It's hard to imagine how much hellish training Mihawk had gone through to reach this level, one that he was originally on track to achieve many years later.
All in all—
Now Mihawk was someone Rob had to take seriously.
Seeing Mihawk bursting out with fighting spirit, Rob, who wanted to say something, suppressed all his words. He raised Shinto in his hand, locking onto Mihawk.
He issued an invitation to fight:
"Come! Let me defeat you once again!"
Hearing Rob's words—
Mihawk was unceremonious and took a step forward without saying much. In his eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, a saber light flashed. At the same time, he raised the black blade with both hands and slashed out!
Bang—
The swift and violent slash directly broke through the ground, with the momentum to cut everything in two, aiming straight at Rob in front of him!
