Chapter 1423 Mihawk VS Longinus!

Wanoshima.

The flower capital under the blue sky and white clouds.

The breath of spring always fills the whole city.

The fragrance of pink and white cherry blossoms permeates every corner of the air.

The men, women, young and old who come and go on the street can smell the rich fragrance of flowers by taking a deep breath.

The magnificent Shogun Castle towers above the giant trees, with the towering Fujiyama behind as the background.

In the banquet hall on the top floor of Shogun Castle, Mihawk is receiving Shanks.

Gion, wearing a pink kimono, sits quietly beside the former and listens to the conversation between the two, and occasionally adds wine and food for her husband.

Sitting next to Shanks are Qin Su and Susanoo who just participated in the Top 100 Tournament.

As for the 'Eight-tailed' Ushio, he went to Jiuwei Island to reminisce with Jiu Lama.

"I'm glad that you can figure it out."

After listening to Shanks' inner thoughts, Mihawk smiled with joy.

The most important thing is to protect everything now, rather than pursuing the truth of history and excessively demanding absolute freedom. The current world government is also worthy of my service.

As for the dream of Captain Roger, let me forgive him in the underworld after my death!

Listen, this is what Shanks just said to him.

This is really figured out!

"Yes, I figured it out. I don't want to be a bystander anymore." Shanks nodded, then smiled bitterly and said, "I just don't know whether Lord Im will allow me to come back and whether he is willing to use me."

Mihawk remained silent because he didn't dare to guarantee what Im's attitude would be.

After all, Shanks had previously broken into the 'Land of the Gods' privately.

However

"Lord Im must know about your affairs in the Adventurer's Association. Since you are safe and sound now, it means that he doesn't have much bad feelings towards you, and didn't Doflamingo say that Lord Im is willing to see you."

Mihawk's words seem comforting, but they actually make sense.

Shanks knew this, but Mihawk continued, "I'll go with you this time. It just so happens that I haven't seen Lord Im for a long time."

This touched Shanks greatly. Mihawk really treated him as a friend.

"Can I go with you? I also want to see Stussy," Gion asked softly.

Mihawk nodded and agreed, "Okay."

"Excuse me, who is Lord Im?" Qin Su, who was beside Shanks, asked curiously.

Mihawk and Shanks looked at each other, and finally the former shook his head and said, "You are not suitable to know now."

Qin Su behaved very well and politely after hearing this, and did not continue to ask the reason.

The next day, in the morning.

Mihawk, Shanks, Gion, Qin Su, and Susanoo.

In front of the medium-sized star gate guarded by many ninjas, they saw the 'eight-tailed' Ushio who came back in time.

"Hey, how is it, are you happy to see an old friend?" Shanks greeted.

"It's OK, but he told me that he doesn't want to be a tailed beast anymore, he wants to be a human, and he wants to have a baby with a white fox."

The 'eight-tailed' Ushiki, who has shrunk to three meters, said in a strange voice.

"Uh" Shanks opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Has the Nine-tailed Ninja decided to eat the Human-Human Fruit?" Mihawk said.

"Do you know about this?" Shanks turned his eyes and saw Mihawk nodded: "Mr. Shenhe occasionally asks me to drink tea, and he mentioned the matter of Guren and Jiu Lama during the period."

"Okay." Shanks didn't know Shenhe, Guren, or Jiuwei, so he just looked at Ushiki again: "What about you, do you want to be a human too?"

But Ushiki shook his head again and again: "No, it's good now, and I like swimming in the sea."

Since he said so, Shanks naturally had no objection.

Then the five people and one beast walked into the star gate under the gaze of the ninjas.

Originally, with Mihawk's status, there should be a large number of Holy Land garrison troops, CIPHER POL, and even swordsmen from Gotosai following him.

But he didn't like such a fuss and directly rejected these pomps.

Everyone came to Ninja World Loulan through the star gate in an instant.

Soon at the exit, a large number of knights of the Holy Land garrison troops wearing armor and holding spears were seen.

Not far away, a white spaceship with a golden Sky Dragon Hoof printed on the side floating in the air can be seen, indicating that it is dedicated to serving the Celestial Dragons.

"Welcome the honorable Saint Mihawk and Saint Shanks to the Ninja World!"

Stussy walked forward with a smile on her high heels, and then looked at Gion: "Long time no see, to be honest, I didn't expect you to marry Saint Mihawk, what a blessing!"

Although Gion's cheeks were flushed, she still faced Stussy's admiration generously.

"Your Highness Qin Su, Lord Yimu has had the 'Supreme Imperial Device' placed in the Land of Ghosts. All you need to do next is follow them to the destination, and then you can try to control the 'Supreme Imperial Device' and test its power to your heart's content."

Stussy finally looked at Qin Su and Susanoo and smiled.

At the same time, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over from behind her.

"Please follow me, both of you." After saying that, the man didn't care whether they agreed or not.

He turned and walked towards another much smaller spaceship that was not very gorgeously decorated.

Qin Su didn't mind. After saying hello to Mihawk, Shanks and others, he quickly followed with Susanoo.

Now he only had the 'Supreme Imperial Tool' in his mind.

After a while, Mihawk and others also followed Stussy onto the 'Tianlong Spaceship' and flew quickly towards the airspace where Noah's Ark was located.

"Hey, are we leaving the continent?"

Gion was a little surprised to notice the sea gradually appearing below the spaceship.

Stussy smiled and said, "Yes, there is another continent in this ninja world, named Regel Continent. Now Loulan and Ninja Sect are developing it."

"I see," Gion nodded, and then changed the subject: "Tell me how you have been on Noah's Ark in the past few years?"

Time passed by like sand slipping through fingers in the chat between the two women and Shanks's uneasy mood.

A few hours later, the spaceship that had entered the Regel continent finally arrived at a high altitude.

Mihawk, Shanks, and Gion came to the deck again and found that a huge invisible door had appeared out of thin air not far away, revealing a green and gloomy alien space inside.

When the white spaceship passed smoothly, the air door quickly closed and returned to the original blue sky and white clouds.

"What is this?"

Shanks, who came to the front deck of Noah's Ark, was stunned by the magnificent and unbelievable giant ship and pavilion in front of him.

Especially the huge golden clock tower, which made him very familiar.

Isn't that what he saw on Sky Island when he was in Roger's pirate group?

At this time, a man with a height of about three meters, a strong physique, green facial skin, and white hair with dark blue horizontal stripes, exuded an amazing momentum, strode to the front of everyone, and stared straight at Shanks.

"Kukulkan, what's the matter?" Stussy asked in surprise.

"Lord Im ordered that Saint Mihawk and Lady Gion can go directly to the fifth floor, but Saint Shanks needs to hold out for a day under my attack."

Kukulkan said in a deep voice: "If he can't do it, send him back to Marijoa and never step out of the 'Land of the Gods' for the rest of his life, otherwise all members of the Knights of God will be executed!"

Mihawk and Shanks' hearts sank. They didn't expect to encounter such a test.

At the same time, they began to look at Kukulkan seriously. Judging from his breath alone, he definitely reached the combat power of a lieutenant general.

And now Shanks has been stagnant for a long time because he wasted many years before and has not experienced any fierce battles.

He can only barely beat the 'Eight-Tailed' Ushio, which is a long way behind Mihawk.

And Stussy knows Kukulkan very well.

This is a giant python with a body length of several kilometers, known as the 'Lord of the Sky'.

Such a huge size has been reduced to the size in front of you under the effect of the Human-Human Fruit. You can imagine how terrifying the physical strength is!

In addition, because he has a human form, he can practice domineering.

In the past few years, in countless sparring with the giants, his domineering has been tempered to a very high level.

And in terms of physical skills.

Although Kukulkan cannot go to the Star Pressure Palace, Im still has people set up a small gravity training room in the golden bell tower.

A CP0 master is also arranged to teach him life return and six secrets.

In short, although he is Im's "pet", or the "guardian beast" of Noah's Ark.

But his strength is really very strong, definitely reaching the level of the giants!

"Shanks, I'll help you!" The "Eight-tailed" Ushio said immediately.

"This" Shanks hesitated.

"Okay, as long as you admit that you are the familiar of Shanks Saint."

The word familiar has a wider coverage.

Therefore, the World Government uniformly calls summoned beasts, summoned beasts, and even humanoid imperial artifacts like Susanoo as "familiars" at the official level.

Of course, individuals can also call them according to their own habits in private.

"No, the cow ghost is my partner, I will do it myself," Shanks shook his head immediately.

But the next second, the cow ghost said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am his summoned beast, or I can be a familiar!"

It doesn't matter what he calls it, even if he is not a human.

He only knows that Shanks is a friend who took him around the starfish.

Now he wants to seal the cow ghost into Shanks' body, and it is estimated that he will only consider it for a moment.

"In that case, then you should stay too." Kukulkan raised the corner of his mouth.

"The cow ghost" Shanks was extremely moved.

"No need to say more, I am now worried that the next battle will cause damage to this place."

The cow ghost shook his head, indicating that he should not be so hypocritical, and at the same time glanced around, looking at the extremely wide bow deck.

However, no matter how wide it was, it was still a wooden boat, and he didn't think it could withstand his own strength and the Tailed Beast Ball that he might have to use.

"Don't worry, this Noah's Ark is blessed by the power of Lord Im, you just need to fight with all your strength." Kukulkan said indifferently.

He and the 'Thunder Giant' Dongli fought for a long time but couldn't cause any damage, how could Shanks and the Ushiki do it?

"Good luck"

At this point, Mihawk could only give Shanks a blessing.

Then he and Gion followed Stussy to the distant ship gate.

He believed that Shanks would pass the test and become a man who would stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Are you ready?"

Kukulkan waited for them to go far away, and asked Shanks, who had already pulled out the 'Griffin', and the 'Eight-Tailed' Ushiki who had restored his body to its original size and squatted behind the former.

"Come on!"

Shanks shouted to cheer for himself and the Ushiki.

[Boom——————]

The next second, the air wave burst out, and Kukulkan instantly appeared in front of the two.

Before Shanks could react.

The 50-60-meter-tall giant was kicked away by a supersonic whip kick.

[Shua! ]

Shanks subconsciously swung his sword, but only hit a shadow that dissipated with the wind.

Kukulkan appeared behind him, which froze Shanks's expression.

"It seems that the next day will be a bit long for you, Saint Shanks"

[Bang! ! ]

In an instant, the shadow of the leg reappeared, and the evil waves were emptied.

Surrounded by heavy sonic boom mist, Shanks flew backwards like a cannonball until he hit the wall of the golden bell tower.

""

Such a huge movement made Mihawk and Gion, who had already walked to the gate of the ship, look back subconsciously.

"Are they really okay?" Gion asked worriedly.

"Now we can only trust him."

Mihawk looked at Shanks, who helped Jinbi stand up and immediately rushed towards Kukulkan, but was knocked out again. He immediately turned around and stepped into the door.

I think he will not die after all

About half an hour later.

Under the gaze of the giant soldiers, they finally came to the top floor.

But they saw a red-haired young man standing in front, looking directly at Mihawk with joy and expectation.

"You are finally here, Joracol Mihawk, I am Cassius Longinus, I hope to have a sparring match with you!"

Longinus drew the Seven Star Sword from his back.

When the sword pointed at Mihawk, it suddenly burst into a faint green light.

Because the Seven Star Sword also felt the existence of Black Blade Night.

One is a bloodthirsty demon sword that will bring killing and destruction, and the other is the most powerful supreme sword of Starfish.

"I came to see Lord Im." Mihawk said expressionlessly.

Longinus said in a deep voice: "This battle has been approved by Lord Im, and he also asked me to tell you that he has his own decision on the matter of Figaland Shanks, and you don't need to continue to participate!"

Mihawk was silent for a few seconds, and then held the handle of the knife behind his back with his right hand.

His action made Longinus' eyes light up.

Because he felt the fighting spirit emanating from Mihawk.

Okay, he has long wanted to meet this strongest Celestial Dragon of the younger generation in Lord Im's mouth!

"Gion, you go with Stussy first." Mihawk whispered.

"Okay!"

Gion nodded, she believed that Mihawk would not lose.

Soon.

Only Mihawk and Longinus were left in the field holding knives and confronting each other, and the atmosphere around them became extremely solemn.

The former is 25 years old this year, and the latter is 21 years old this year.

Both can be said to be the best among the young Celestial Dragons.

Including Doflamingo, who is 23 years old this year, the three can be called the "Three Heroes of the Celestial Dragons".

Im wanted to see how far Longinus and Mihawk could fight.

The next moment.

Longinus took the lead.

The Seven Star Sword in his hand turned into a green light all over the sky, sweeping towards Mihawk.

For this first attack, he did not use his domineering power or the power of the devil fruit, but pure swordsmanship.

Mihawk immediately understood what Longinus meant.

The blade of the black knife night rotated like fallen leaves, forming a green whirlwind full of murderous intent, sweeping across the countless green rays coming from the front.

Although both sides were green, Mihawk's sword light was brighter and sharper, while Longinus's sword light was slightly dim, like a ghostly will-o'-the-wisp.

But the sword lights on both sides entangled in the air, and at the moment of collision, the clanging sound of ding-dong-dang rang out.

It proved that they were indeed competing in their respective swordsmanship!

The soaring sword energy and the dazzling knife light kept crisscrossing, colliding and breaking.

Not long after.

Longinus and Mihawk were fast and fast, flashing at high speed on the fifth floor of Noah's Ark, and wherever they went, there was a fierce wind and sonic boom.

Gradually, the competition between the two was no longer limited to swordsmanship ()
