"Kacha!" The ice that froze Mihawk broke, and Mihawk broke free.
"Stop, stop, stop! Mihawk, stop fighting!" Seeing Mihawk raise his crimson long knife again, Shozo immediately shouted to stop.
"No more fighting, Mihawk, you know, you lost!”Xia Zuo looked at Mihawk.
Mihawk was silent. He knew that he had indeed lost. When he was frozen, Xia Zuo had the chance to kill him, but Xia Zuo did not make a move. Moreover, during the battle, Xia Zuo had always had the will to fight but not the intention to kill!
"I'm not dead yet. Only when I die will I lose!”Mihawk said lightly. He wasn't being shameless, but in his life, only death meant defeat.
"Alright then! Then do you want to be my partner?”Shozo invited Mihawk again.
Mihawk stared at Xia Zuo with his sharp eyes and did not speak.
After a moment of silence, he said,"Let's talk about it later!"”
"Alright, I still have many years before I go out to sea. Don't be in a hurry to reject me!”Seeing Mihawk's resolute tone soften, Xia Zuo immediately agreed.
"You used the power of ice at the end, right? Why did you use the power of ice?”Mihawk couldn't help but ask his question after he finished.
"You can think of it as the ability of my Demon Fruit!”Xia Zuo didn't want to reveal his secret yet.
"The ability of the Demon Fruit? I've never seen a fruit with the ability to split its body, reflect attacks, and freeze its body. What kind of fruit is this?”Mihawk was still curious.
"How about this? Mihawk, on the day we set sail, I will tell you about my ability!”Xia Zuo didn't want to hide it from his partner, but Mihawk hadn't agreed to be his partner yet! Although Xia Zuo had already regarded Mihawk as his partner!
"Let's talk about it later!" Mihawk still didn't let go.
"What is your goal?" Mihawk asked.
"Walk to the peak! No one can interfere with my fate!”Xia Zuo's face was filled with determination. This was a determination that even a god would not be able to shake!
"What about you? Mihawk!" Shozo asked Mihawk.
"The world's greatest sword hero!" Mihawk said calmly. This was his life goal! This was also the goal of all swordsmen!
After resting for a while and recovering their strength, they were going to part ways!
"Mihawk, I'm leaving. Think about it carefully. I hope that when I go out to sea, you'll stand by my side!”After saying that, Shozo left Stone Pillar Island. He knew that Mihawk's heart had softened, but he still hadn't made a decision. However, he would give Mihawk time to think it over.
Mihawk looked at Xia Zuo's departing figure and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
..........
After Roger was executed, the Sengoku Kingdom set sail and returned to the naval headquarters, Malinfando.
"Zhan Guo, look at what you've done!”Marshal Kong couldn't help but get angry. The pirates had been very active these past few days. Marshal Kong had been dealing with these things, and the Five Old Stars had been putting pressure on him! He was badly battered!
After Zhan Guo returned to Malinfando, Marshal Kong immediately called for a meeting with all the officials who were still in Malinfando! Karp, Sengoku, Sakasugi, and Kuzan, who had already become a lieutenant general, were all present.
"Yes, Roger's last words were indeed beyond my expectations. I didn't expect to be tricked by him!”Zhan Guo was helpless. How could he have thought of this!
"Tell me, what countermeasures do you have now?”Marshal Kong only needed to complain. The most important thing now was how to face the situation at sea!
"Increase the publicity of Roger's execution and the news of Golden Lion's arrest. Increase the morale of the navy!”Sengoku thought for a moment before continuing,"
"Also, do your best to arrest the remnants of the Roger Pirates!”
"We have to search for the people related to Roger and eliminate them all to prevent future trouble!”Sakasugi spoke. He had always been an iron-blooded person who advocated justice that exterminated all evil. Naturally, he wanted to eliminate the weeds and eliminate the roots!
"I suggest expanding the navy. There are more and more pirates now, so we need more navies to suppress the pirates 'power!”When it came to strategy, Zhan Guo seemed to have changed into a different person.
"Also, transfer the navy with potential from each branch to the naval academy, hoping to cultivate more high-end combat forces! In this world, high-end combat power was the key to determining the outcome of a war!”Zhan Guo continued.
"Conquer those famous pirates and let those who are restless see the consequences of becoming pirates!”Sakasugi was filled with killing intent. He had always wanted to eliminate the pirates who were at large.
"Hahaha! This old man will let them taste my iron fist!”Karp waved his casserole sized fist.
"I think Mr. Sengoku is right!”Kuzan said lazily.
"Yes, that's it!" Marshal Kong ordered,"
"Zhan Guo, you're in charge of searching for Roger's remnants! Karp, you're responsible for keeping an eye on White Beard's powerful pirate group and be on guard against any movements from them. Kuzan and Sakasugi, you two are responsible for selecting potential soldiers from each branch to enter the naval academy. I'll send the rest of the lieutenant generals to the various seas to suppress those who are ready to make trouble. As for the expansion of the navy, I'll apply to the World Government.”Marshal Kong paused and said,"
" There's one more thing, Karp. The highest combat power of the navy right now isn't enough. I hope you can…"
"Ah, I forgot. I'm going to celebrate Kuzan's promotion to lieutenant general! Bye bye!" Karp immediately interrupted him and walked out of the meeting room.
"Stop, Karp, I haven't finished speaking! And Kuzan is still here!" Marshal Kong was furious. Every time he mentioned promoting him to general, he would run away!
"Hahaha, you haven't finished, but I've already heard it. Let's go celebrate, Cousin!”Karp didn't care about Marshal Kong's anger.
"Good! Mr. Karp. Sorry, Marshal Kong! "I'm going on a mission," Kuzan said helplessly as he left the meeting room with Karp.
"Mr. Karp, you rejected the Sky Marshal again!”Kuzan couldn't help but say after following Karp out. It was rare to see a weirdo like Karp.
"That's good!" Capman didn't care.
"By the way, have you made any progress in selecting some potential branch navies to enter the naval academy?”Karp asked.
"A little!" Speaking of the navy with potential, Kuzan remembered the child he saved in the West Ocean, Slano D. Shozo. Perhaps he could get him into the naval academy, but he didn't know if his problems had been resolved.
Shozo didn't know that Kuzan, who was far away in the navy headquarters, had actually thought of him and wanted to pull him into the naval academy. He didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse!
