One Piece: Rise of an Empire

"Let's go, guys"

With the welcome of the residents, Des started a new voyage.

During the month when Des became king, the residents ushered in a good life, and they also liked the king very much. They were reluctant to leave Des at first, and they were afraid that Des would not come back once he left.

"The long-lost sailing life~" Levy said after taking a sip of wine.

This time the Dragon Slayer was very spacious, Dess not only kept Alan and Long Yi, but also kept these two teams.Originally, Aaron was the strongest among the three captains, but what surprised Des now was Julie. In just one month, she has awakened her arms and knowledge.Although she is still not proficient, Julie's combat power has surpassed Allen's now.But this was enough to surprise Des, because it took him much longer to awaken domineering than Julie.

This is the first time that Des has questioned his talent. Did Raleigh lie to him back then, saying that he was extremely talented.

In fact, Julie and Levi were able to quickly awaken domineering, that is because their power itself has already reached the condition, but they didn't know that they still had this kind of power in their bodies before, and Des started from scratch back then.

Now Julie's combat power is not weaker than Hela's.

Des promoted Julie to a cadre as it should be.Now all the cadres except Ariel have learned to use domineering.

Seeing the cadres become stronger, Des is happy from the bottom of his heart. After all, the partners have become stronger, which is also the capital for them to continue sailing.

...............

"The captain found a person approaching us!!"

"What? Alone?"

"Yes, it's a small boat with only one person on it"

Hearing this news, a group of people from Des came to the board. The crew member was right, that is, there was only one person, with a knife on his back, sitting leisurely on the boat.

And this person Des knows, the future world's number one swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk.

"Is that a swordsman?" Levi asked.

"Yes, a very strong swordsman, little ones, prepare to welcome the guests." Des said to everyone.

After a while, Hawkeye's boat had arrived beside the Dragon Slayer.At this time, the ladder had already fallen, and Hawkeye knew what Des meant.

Eagle-eyed Mihawk, Des and he knew each other. When Roger was executed, they met each other. They had a fight, but there was no winner. In the end, they became friends and drank together a few times.At that time, Des invited Hawkeye to join his pirate group, but was rejected by Hawkeye. He said that he was going to challenge the world's sword masters.

Hawkeye ignored the ladder, but jumped up, jumped onto the boat, and came to Des.

"Welcome to the Des Pirates, Mihawk."

Des's eyes met Hawkeye's. Des could feel the strength of Hawkeye now, but Des didn't feel afraid at all, because Des didn't think he was his opponent. After all, Hawkeye is not the world's number one swordsman now. Like him, Hawkeye at this time is in the growth period of strength.

"I'm a little tired from sailing, I want to find something to drink." Hawkeye said.

Hearing Hawkeye's words, Des smiled and said to everyone, "Take out our good wine, the banquet is on, and this guest is welcome."

It is not the first time that Des and Hawkeye have met. He thinks that Hawkeye can be a friend because he knows Shanks well. Hawkeye will be a friend of Shanks in the future.

The pirates prepared for the banquet faster than people imagined. After a while, the wine and meat were ready.

"How about it, Mihawk, isn't the wine here good? Come on, fill it up, hahahaha" Des said, patting Hawkeye on the shoulder.

"It's not bad, it's relatively average," Hawkeye said.

"You are arrogant, obviously such a good wine"

Mihawk didn't feel anything about Des saying this, because Des had said this to him since he and Des had a drink for the first time.

After a few bottles of wine, Des was already a little drunk.

"Hey, Mihawk, last time you told me to challenge the world's sword masters, how is your record?"

"The world is big"

Hawkeye didn't directly answer Des's question.

"Hahahaha, yes, this world is huge, and there are many masters. You don't lose often, so you dare not talk about your record," Des said.

Hawkeye ignored Des, but took a sip of wine on his own.

"Eagle-eyed Mihawk, a kendo genius, challenged all kinds of swordsmen without defeat"

At this time, Levi spoke and answered Des's question for Hawkeye.

At this time, Mihawk turned his head to look at Levi, and the two looked at each other, and Des could feel the fighting spirit of the two.

"Do you want to fight with me, Mihawk?" Levi said to Mihawk.

"No, you are not my opponent." Mihawk said after taking a sip of his wine.

"How do you know if you don't try? You are a famous swordsman now, so you won't be afraid of challenges, right?" Levi said again.

Just when Levi and Mihawk were fighting, Des said, "Come on, everyone, get out of the way and let Mihawk and Levi fight."

Everyone quickly moved out of the way, and Levi also stood up and walked to the center of the position.

Mihawk pondered for a while, and walked across from Levi.

Both of them pulled out the knives in their hands. The knife in Mihawk's hand is the one that Des is familiar with, but it is not the black knife yet.

"bump"

"bump"

"bump"

The two quickly fought a few moves. Although Des was not a swordsman, he could feel that Mihawk didn't use his full strength, and Levi was still at a disadvantage when Mihawk didn't use his full strength.

Seeing this, Levy covered his knife with armed color.

"whale"

Levi rushed towards Mihawk, and the night in Mihawk's hand turned into a black knife.

"bump"

Mihawk not only caught Levi's ultimate move, but also injured Levi instantly.

Both of them are one-sword swordsmen, and Levi can feel the gap between the two when he makes a sword, but Levi also wants to see where the gap is between him and this world-class great swordsman.

At this time, Levi stood up slowly and said, "I lost, you are very strong, and I look forward to fighting with you next time."

"Your challenge is always welcome."

Mihawk also admitted that Levi is a swordsman who can grow up to fight him.

"No way, Mihawk, you injured my crew member, and it's not too much to owe me another drink."

It is not an exaggeration to say that Mihawk and Des drink, and Mihawk has never spent money. After all, Mihawk has owed him five drinks.

"Des, do you want to fight with me?" Mihawk said to Des.

"I'm not a swordsman, what are you fighting with me?"

Des waved his hand.

"Many people in this world are not swordsmen, and it is impossible for me to only fight with swordsmen," Mihawk said.

"Okay, I promise you, but now is not the time, the space on the ship is too small, why don't you accompany me to my hometown, and we will have a serious fight when we get to the island," Des said.

"it is good"

After speaking, Mihawk sat down and drank wine again,

[You're really welcome] Des thought to himself.

The banquet was over soon, and after the banquet, they had arrived near Tortuga Island.

Before landing on the island, Des saw a pirate flag floating on the island.Des felt a little nervous.

"Anchor, let's enter the island quickly"
