Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

In an instant, green sword energy as dazzling as emerald swept towards Luffy, covering him completely.

Luffy, who was originally running very fast, suddenly stopped, as if he was fixed by an invisible force.

In less than a second, a horrifying scene appeared - scarlet blood spurted all over Luffy's body, like blood-red flowers blooming in the air.

"what!"

Accompanied by an extremely shrill scream, Luffy's painful cry resounded throughout the space.

Obviously, this sudden blow caused him great harm.

At this time, Mihawk closed his eyes silently, seeming to care nothing about what was happening before his eyes.

However, after a moment, he slowly raised his head and looked towards where Luffy was with calm eyes.

Luffy was covered in blood and flew backwards like a cannonball at a speed that was astonishing.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang" and Luffy hit the extremely hard wall hard, raising a cloud of dust.

"It hurts... Damn it, I was cut by this guy!"

Luffy, lying in the ruins, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his body.

Despite the serious injuries, the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Just then, Mihawk stepped forward, apparently intending to continue his attack on Luffy.

But just as he took a step forward, a burly figure suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost, blocking his way.

"As expected of Ace's brother, he was able to avoid fatal injuries under such a fierce attack!"

The person who came was Jinpei, who was known as the "Sea Knight".

He stared at Luffy closely, with a hint of concern and appreciation in his eyes.

Immediately, Jinbei turned around and locked eyes with Mihawk.

"Sea Knight Jinbei!"

Hawke looked expressionlessly at the opponent who suddenly appeared in front of him, and coldly spat out the opponent's name.

"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will never let you touch Luffy again!"

Jinbei's eyes were wide open, and a powerful aura emanated from his whole body.

He clenched his fists, assumed a fighting stance, and faced Mihawk, the top warrior, without fear.

"Why do you have to do this!"

Mihawk looked confused and questioned Jinbei with a frown on his face.

Jinbei looked determined and replied seriously, "I want to save Ace! He is an important member of the Whitebeard Pirates! And this is not just for Ace, but also to protect our vast ocean. Although this war is now unstoppable, there is still hope, and that hope is Luffy!"

After saying that, Jinbei's gaze turned to where Luffy was again.

However, at this moment, a heart-wrenching scene came into view - Luffy was crushed to the ground by an extremely huge rock, and his whole body was stuck in the wall. He struggled hard, trying to break free from the restraints and rush out.

"I see……"

Mihawk nodded thoughtfully, but then changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "But, unfortunately, I still can't see his fate clearly. So, please leave as soon as possible!"

Before he finished speaking, Mihawk flashed and attacked in an instant like a ghost.

Seeing this, Jinbei naturally refused to be outdone. He shouted loudly and suddenly threw a heavy punch.

There was a loud "bang" and the two people passed each other.

In an instant, Jinbei flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

Finally, he slammed hard into a large piece of hard ice, and with the sound of the ice breaking, he sank into the depths of the freezing cold seabed.

Who would have thought that the powerful Jinbei couldn't even take a single blow from Mihawk and was no match for him at all.

This thrilling scene happened to be seen by Luffy who was not far away. He widened his eyes and exclaimed in his heart: "That guy is really strong!"

At this moment, Mihawk leaped lightly and jumped into the air with a nimble posture.

Then, he tightly grasped the pitch-black long sword emitting a cold light with both hands, exerted force with his arms, and stabbed fiercely at Luffy below.

Faced with this powerful and fatal blow, Luffy's will to survive was instantly aroused to the peak.

The body that was originally pressed down tightly suddenly burst out with amazing power, like a volcano erupting, and rushed out from the bottomless pit in an instant.

Just before the terrifying black knife was about to fall mercilessly, Luffy leaped with an agility beyond ordinary people's imagination and successfully jumped out of the danger-ridden pit.

"asshole!"

Luffy's eyes were wide open, and after quickly putting a safe distance between himself and Mihawk, he stared at him fiercely. At this moment, his young and determined face turned red with anger.

However, just in the next second, an unexpected scene happened - Luffy took the initiative to attack without hesitation, and pounced on Mihawk like a storm.

But just as he was about to make a move, a horrifying picture suddenly emerged in his mind without warning: he saw an extremely sharp blade flashing with cold light whizzing towards him, and the fierce murderous intent made the hairs on his body stand up.

A strong sense of crisis surged into his heart like a tide. Luffy, who had just been ready to attack with great momentum, at the critical moment, relying on his innate keen intuition and combat experience, slammed his raised hands into the hard ice.

With a crisp cracking sound, he forcibly interrupted his inevitable attack.

"That was a close call. If I had really attacked just now, my arm would have been chopped off by now!"

Luffy, still frightened, gasped heavily and muttered to himself.

Mihawk, who was standing not far away, looked at Luffy with surprise.

"Surprisingly calm?"

Mihawk looked at Luffy.

He was obviously surprised at Luffy's quick and accurate reaction speed.

However, the powerful swordsman did not hesitate or pause at all.

Almost at the same time, Mihawk flashed and approached Luffy as quickly as a ghost. The black knife in his hand drew a deadly arc in the air and swung towards Luffy with unparalleled power.

Faced with this sudden attack, Luffy didn't dare to be negligent at all. He quickly sucked in his abdomen and bent over, making his whole body almost parallel to the ground.

With a whoosh, the dazzling green blade light flew past Luffy's scalp and narrowly avoided the powerful blade.
