Two exclamations of praise came from the usually taciturn Hawkeye Mihawk. If anyone familiar with his personality were here, they would probably wonder if he had changed his ways.

But only Hawkeye Mihawk truly understood him, and at this moment, he felt a long-lost flutter in his heart.

"I really want to fight this guy!"

It's naturally difficult for the average person to understand Hawkeye Mihawk.

In this world, without exception, everyone who reaches the pinnacle in a certain field is a fanatic.

Only by being obsessed with what you love to a certain degree, ignoring the cold stares and ridicule of others, and relentlessly working towards your goals, can you create unparalleled achievements. (Reading by La)

Hawkeye Mihawk is undoubtedly one of the best among them.

He was not interested in beautiful women, power, or justice; he regarded power as worthless. His only passion was swordsmanship, and he devoted his entire life to pursuing its ultimate form.

This is why, in the original work, Hawkeye Mihawk didn't hesitate to give Zoro all his help, all in order to see a new path open up for him.

He doesn't care whether anyone can defeat him.

All he cares about is reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship!

Hawkeye Mihawk, disregarding everything else, continued repairing the exquisite little boat. He quickly climbed aboard and steered the vessel forward slowly.

New World, Sphinx Island.

This is the country where Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, was born.

A grand carnival is underway on this island.

The captains and affiliated pirate crews of the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as the forces protected by the Whitebeard Pirates, or the forces and individuals friendly with the Whitebeard Pirates, all gathered on this island.

It's safe to say that, on this vast ocean, the person with the most friends is undoubtedly Shanks.

But when it comes to who has the most protected forces, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard is undoubtedly the one.

Of course, Edward Newgate with his white beard truly deserves the title of benevolent and righteous.

From villagers in a small town to the kingdom on Fishman Island and the entire Fishman race, anyone who affixes the Whitebeard Pirates' flag can gain the protection of this elderly man.

This is why a grand party is held every year on Edward Newgate's birthday. Members of the Whitebeard Pirates can also use this opportunity to maintain relationships with various powerful forces and build networks of interests.

A bonfire blazed brightly, and a group of scantily clad beauties sang and danced.

Beside the campfire, an elderly man with white hair leaned back in a chair, drinking from a gourd in one hand while squinting and enjoying the simple pleasures of family life.

Suddenly, sensing the terrifying slash that swept across the sky, white-bearded Edward Newgate glanced up and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Has this level of power already emerged before the new era Roger spoke of has even begun?"

"The future truly belongs to these young people."

Edward Newgate's white-bearded gaze pierced through the campfire and landed on Ace, who was chasing and playing with a group of people behind him. His gaze softened slightly.

Red Earth, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the Five Elders stood up in alarm, staring at the terrifying slash in the sky. An unprecedented sense of unease enveloped their hearts.

They felt something was off, but couldn't quite put their finger on it.

Not only the Five Elders, but even Lord Im, who was hiding behind the scenes, couldn't help but feel a sense of horror when he saw the terrifying slash that cleaved the clouds in two.

Eight hundred years!

Apart from the time eight hundred years ago when Joy Boy could evoke this sense of terror in him, countless heroes and tyrants have emerged in the past eight hundred years, but none of them have been able to evoke this long-lost feeling in Lord Im.

"check!"

"Investigate thoroughly the source of this strike!"

The order from Lord Im was quickly relayed to the Five Elders, and the entire CP organization began to operate at full speed.

The outside world's disturbances could not disturb Yang Ming in the slightest.

After unleashing a powerful strike, Yang Ming was panting heavily, feeling as if his arms no longer belonged to him, and even his soul felt somewhat weak.

After all, a Zanpakuto is a spiritual object, and when Ryujin Jakka is used in Bankai, it puts even more pressure on the soul, so it's understandable that it would consume so much energy.

Yang Ming took the opportunity to return to the steel warship that had retreated to a distance, intending to rest well and check any missed system messages.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from League of Legends. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

"Yes!"

In Yang Ming's line of sight, a lottery wheel that was invisible to others gradually appeared, divided into four sections: normal skills, hero skills, equipment and items, and hero skins.

Common skills: Barrier, Cleanse, Insight, Ignite, Weakness, Blink, Ghost Step, Heal, Clarity, Guardian, Crossbow, Retribution, Mark, Teleport.

Hero Abilities: Shattering Flame, Lava Shield, Alpha Strike, Meditation, Wuju Style, Void Blade, Energy Pulse, Void Sphere...

Equipment and items: Hextech Belt, Righteous Glory, Twin Shadows, Trinity Force, Boots of Speed...

Hero Skins: Future Warrior, Steel Wings, Lu Bu (Fengxian), Champion's Blade...

【Hellish Curse】: You can harvest the souls of enemies who die around you, granting you 0.75 armor and 0.75 elemental power.

It has to be said that even Yang Ming's luck seems to have turned around.

Chapter 295 The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse often gets the cheese.

Red Earth, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

A magnificent white castle stands proudly on a crimson landscape, exuding aristocratic luxury. Exquisite paintings adorn its white jade walls, while gardeners meticulously tend flowerbeds surround the castle, and lush trees form a manor-style back garden.

Spires and clock towers soar into the sky, proclaiming to outsiders the eternal authority of the Celestial Dragons.

A bright red carpet stretched from the outer door to the inner door, and well-trained maids bustled about.

With 999 rooms, 777 chimneys, 36 main staircases and 240 secondary staircases, the interior of Mary Geoise is the largest and most luxurious in the world.

A vase casually placed here has a history dating back hundreds of years to the glorious era when 20 kings jointly formed the World Government. Any ornament you find here is priceless, something that countless ordinary people would never dare to dream of in their entire lives.

If there is a paradise on this sea, then the Holy Land of Mary Geoise would certainly deserve the title.

The port closest to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise is called Red Harbor.

This area is guarded by the Navy's G1 base. Now, after a new batch of Navy soldiers were replaced, and lessons were learned from Vice Admiral Momonga's failure, the defense here is even tighter. Navy warships patrol the area from time to time to prevent the Dark Night Pirates from ramming into the area again.

As a blood-stained single-person sailboat approached from afar, it was quickly spotted by the patrolling warships.

Especially when the soldiers on board discovered through their binoculars that one of the Five Elders, Jaigollucia Satan, was lying on his back on the blood-stained single-person sailboat, they were all extremely terrified and reported the information to their superiors one by one, which eventually reached the Five Elders.

Upon learning that Jaigolusia Satan Saint was severely injured, the Five Elders recalled the terrifying slash that had cleaved the clouds across the globe in two some time ago, and a sense of unease arose in their hearts.

"Could it be that Jaigolusia was ambushed by that mysterious powerful figure?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain that he left with the air force secretly trained by the World Government, only to return severely injured alone?"

Upon thinking of this, the Five Elders put aside all their work and went together to Red Harbor to visit Jaygolucia Satan Saint.

At this very moment, the soldiers at Naval Base G1 had already welcomed Jaigollucia Satan back and arranged for him to be taken to the best private hospital on Red Harbor Island, where the best surgeons were hired to treat him.

When the five elders arrived together, the surgery had just been completed.

Upon entering the ward, seeing that Jaigolusia Satan was severely injured, with one arm severed at the shoulder and numerous wounds of varying sizes on his body, and that extremely terrifying sword intent still lingered on the wounds, the other four members of the Five Elders paled repeatedly.

Just then, as if sensing the arrival of the four old men, or perhaps due to the therapeutic effect of the surgery, Jaigolusia Satan slowly awoke from his severe injuries and coma.

It goes without saying that the "Jaigolusia Satan Saint" in the present is not the real person, but rather an impersonation by the Crescent Moon Hunter Katrina Devon using her Devil Fruit powers.

In order to help Crescent Hunter Katrina Devon better integrate into the Five Elders and avoid being noticed by acquaintances, and also to explain why she returned alone, Yang Ming deliberately left her with terrible wounds, even severing one of her arms.

Even so, the Crescent Moon Hunter, Katrina Depon, dared not betray Yang Ming.

Having undergone the genjutsu baptism of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the soul modification of the Dual Hands, one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Crescent Moon Hunter Katrina Devon has become a qualified tool.

"Jaygorusia, who on earth hurt you like this?"

"Weren't you going out to deal with the Revolutionary Army? Where did all the air force go?"

Facing the concern and questions of the other four elders, the Crescent Moon Hunter, Katrina Devon, lived up to her reputation as an actor. Her chapped lips moved up and down, her throat throbbed for a moment, and she weakly uttered a few words from deep within her throat.

Seemingly because the sound was too soft, a bald old man in a white Taoist robe quickly moved closer to listen carefully, only to hear a faint, intermittent murmur:

"Be careful... in the dark..."

The moment the word "Dark Night" was uttered, the Crescent Moon Hunter, Katrina Depon, tilted her head and abruptly closed her eyes. The bald old man, startled, thought his old friend had died. He quickly went to check her breathing and found her breath faint, more exhalation than inhalation, as if she were about to die. He was immediately alarmed and hurriedly instructed the doctor and nurses:

"You must take good care of him here 24 hours a day. Whatever you need, the World Government will do its best to provide it to you. I only have one request: you must ensure his safety."

The doctors and nurses present nodded hurriedly, as if pecking at rice. They naturally knew that the seriously ill person in front of them was a high-ranking and powerful elder statesman. If anything happened to him here, not only would they be in trouble, but their families would also suffer.

But things always have two sides. Once they cure "Jaygorusia Satan Saint", they will come into the sight of the Five Elders and become top doctors and nurses, thus enjoying countless riches and honors.

Opportunity always comes with danger, and even knowing the difficulties, the doctors and nurses present were not going to let this great opportunity slip by.

After receiving news that "Jaygorusia Satan Saint" had returned from the brink of death, the Five Elders went together to the secret location that had been rebuilt inside the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Twenty weapons of various shapes were stuck upside down on the massive staircase, and a giant-like figure sat atop the supreme throne.

Lord Im sat casually on the throne, one hand supporting his cheek, looking down at the four of them, quietly waiting for their report.

No matter how many times they came here, the Five Elders always felt an immense pressure coming towards them, the imposing aura of Lord Im over the past eight hundred years and the oppressive feeling of the immortal race.

The bald old man, dressed in a white Taoist robe, said solemnly:

"Reporting to Lord Im, Jaigolusia has returned severely injured, and with bad news."

"The powerful figure who recently cleaved the clouds of the entire world in two is the same person who injured Jaigolsia. Both are Li Qing, the captain of the Dark Night Pirates."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Lord Im clench his other free hand, crushing the throne handle into powder.

Li Qing, the Lord of the Night!

These words have become an indelible scar in Lord Im's heart!

It was precisely because of the arrogance and overbearing nature of the Dark Night Pirates that they razed the ancient capital of Mary Geoise to the ground!

Now, taking advantage of Jaigolsia Satan's solo attack, the enemy chose to ambush him halfway, not only crippling him but also wiping out the World Government's air force, which had been secretly trained for many years.

Lord Im never imagined that this information was false.

After all, judging from Li Qing's past appearances and fighting style, this man is a complete madman and has the motive and ability to do such a thing.

"Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, it's that guy again!"
