Pirates: Building a Pirate Family

These fragments flashed with cold light, as if telling the intensity of the battle.

At this moment, Zoro's mind suddenly turned blank. He looked at the blade in his hand that had broken into several segments in disbelief.

"I lost... my skills are not as good as others... I never thought that I would lose this duel... Is this the terrifying power that the great swordsman possessed in the legend?"

Zoro muttered to himself, his voice full of loss and reluctance.

He lowered his head and turned around silently. A wisp of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth and dripped onto the ground, forming a shocking blood flower.

On his chest, a deep knife mark was clearly visible, and his clothes were stained red with blood.

However, despite such a heavy blow, Zoro endured the severe pain and straightened his backbone.

On the other side, Mihawk seemed very casual. He just turned around gently and swept his eyes lightly towards Zoro.

When he saw Zoro turn around and slowly spread his arms, Mihawk's pupils shrank suddenly and his mouth slightly opened, as if he was a little surprised by Zoro's next move.

Just at this tense moment!

Zoro suddenly shouted loudly, "The wound on his back is a shame for the swordsman!"

Although there was still blood on the corner of his mouth, a firm and confident smile appeared on his face. His eyes stared straight at Mihawk, as if he wanted to see a more distant future through the other person's body.

In this moment, time seemed to have frozen.

Zoro's tall figure gradually overlapped with another figure twenty-four years ago - back then, there was also a man standing in front of that powerful enemy without hesitation, without retreating.

At this moment, Mihawk saw his former self in Zoro, and his courageous spirit of never giving up made him move.

The corners of Mihawk's mouth gradually rose upwards, revealing a hint of undetectable smile.

He held the Black Knife Ye tightly with both hands, and an invisible pressure emanated from his body, and the air around him seemed to become solemn because of this momentum.

"There is a kind!"

Mihawk showed admiration, a faint smile flashed across his cold face like a sculpture, his eyes tightly locked at Zoro in front of him.

At the same time, he waved his arm suddenly, and the long sword in his hand went down with the momentum, and a light green slash roared out.

This slashing speed was extremely fast, and it had arrived in front of Zoro in the blink of an eye. The light color was almost impossible to detect without careful observation.

In an instant, Zoro felt an irresistible force attacking, and his whole body flew backwards like a shell.

As his body flew backwards, there was an extremely powerful qi force, which swept across all directions, and wherever he passed, there were gusts of strong winds and waves.

Zoro also suffered a severe blow due to this blow. Blood splashed out like a fountain, splashing into the surrounding air, forming a blood mist.

Mihawk looked up slightly, his sharp eyes as coldly as a hawk.

Although Zoro was seriously injured at this time, Mihawk murmured in his heart: "Don't worry about dying, young power!"

It seems that I am full of expectations for this young man who dares to challenge himself.

After Zoro drew an arc in the air, his eyes finally lost their minds and threw them heavily into the sea water, causing a large splash of water.

"Zoro!"

Seeing his friend being injured and fell into the water, Luffy was anxious and shouted loudly.

"Brother!"

Seeing this, Joseph and Johnny, who were standing by, jumped without hesitation, jumped into the vast sea, and swam towards Zoro's fall into the water.

Mihawk stood quietly, slowly hanging the long knife in his hand back.

He stared at the sea expressionlessly, waiting for Joseph and Johnny to pick Zoro up ashore.

Not long after, Joseph and Johnny finally managed to rescue Zoro from the sea and dragged it back to the shore with difficulty.

At this time, Zoro was covered in blood, his breath was weak, and he looked extremely injured.

"My name is Jorakel Mihawk. You can't die yet. Understand yourself and the world and become stronger, Roronoa!"

Mihawk looked cold, his arms were tightly held in front of his chest, and his eyes stared at Zoro, who was scarred but still resolute and unyielding in front of him.

"In the years to come, I will always be looking forward to you, waiting for you to completely surpass me, Roronoa!"

Mihawk roared suddenly, shaking the sky, as if he wanted to shake the world.

Facing Mihawk's words, Zoro had no intention of retreating.

He held the samurai sword with a broken blade tightly, like a wounded but never surrendered beast, and roared loudly into the sky: "Luffy, I worry you, I can't be the world's number one swordsman, I will let you Be in a dilemma!”

Luffy stared at Zoro blankly.

"I will never fail again, I will never fail again, I will never fail again, I know to defeat him and become a great swordsman, I will never fail again, do you have anything to say, One Piece! ”

At this time, Zoro was covered with blood all over his body. He covered the blood flowing down his forehead with his hands, raised the broken blade high, and roared with all his strength.

Luffy stared at Zoro in a daze, and for a moment he was a little lost.

But soon, he came to his senses and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

"No!"

Luffy replied with an understatement.

Hearing Zoro's answer, Mihawk's mouth slightly raised, showing a faint smile, and then turned and left without saying a word.

He repeated the words that Charlotte had said to him word by word to Zoro.

He was full of hope that Zoro could surpass himself, or even surpass that person, and achieve the grand dream of the world's number one swordsman.

Then, he turned back to his own boat.

With the surging currents, the boat slowly moved forward and eventually gradually disappeared into this vast sea area.

Mihawk raised his head slightly and stared at the vast sky.

He murmured softly: "When did I lose the firmness that a strong person should have?"

He just looked at the sky quietly, and his thoughts couldn't help but float back to the moment four years ago.

At that time, Charlotte swung the sword, and its sword energy seemed to be able to penetrate the entire world.

The majestic power, unparalleled power, and the deep sense of despair that followed were still clearly imprinted in his heart.

"It seems that it was from that time that I lost the will to continue to make progress and climb to the top!"

Mihawk lowered his head silently, looking a little lonely and depressed.
