One Piece: Master of Genes

On the deck.

"How did you know that my swordsmanship was very strong? Do you know me?" Mihawk asked Mio with rum in his hand.

Mihawk now looked quite young and was full of spirit.

His pair of eagle-like eyes were very sharp, making people subconsciously want to look away when they looked at it.

"Anyone who can ride a small boat alone on the Grand Line and carries one of only twelve supreme swords in the world cannot be weak, right?" Mio grinned.

"That's right." Upon hearing this, Mihawk nodded, and immediately looked towards the sea.

"All of your crew members seem to have eaten Devil fruit."

"Almost, the one in the sea hasn't eaten a devil fruit." Mio shrugged.

Upon hearing Mio's words, Mihawk couldn't help but exclaim again.

He said, "What a huge body, it looks like a fishman, but it's a bit different."

Mihawk had been to the fishman island.

Although some of the fishmen were huge in size, he had never seen such a huge existence.

And this one should be very strong right?

Although he hadn't fought against it, he could feel it.

"It's not a fishman, but it has a trace of a giant's blood." Mio explained.

"So that's it." After hearing this, Mihawk was suddenly stunned.

Giants were relatively famous in this world.

With a trace of a giant's blood, it was no wonder that it had such a large body.

"Speaking of, why are you in this sea area? This should be a sea area connecting the Grand Line and the four seas. With your strength, New World should be the most suitable place for you." Mio asked curiously.

Mihawk took a sip of wine and calmly said, "Although there are many strong people in New World, many of whom use swords, the current situation is chaotic."

"It will inevitably be troublesome to go to New World now. Although I'm not afraid, it is a waste of time."

"So, I took the time to go around the world. There are many weak people, but occasionally I can meet some unknown powerful swordsmen."

"So are you going to New World next?" Mio asked.

"Yes." Mihawk nodded.

"The situation in New World was chaotic before, but now it is beginning to stabilize."

"It seems that the big pirates are vying for the strongest position, but only a few people can win in the end."

"Maybe several powerful emperors will appear in the New World at that time."

Mihawk was only a pure swordsman at present, but his powerful strength and vision made it very easy for him to see the current situation in the New World.

With that, Mihawk looked at Mio's crew and he chuckled.

"Although the situation in the New World is stable, it will take at least one to two years for it to completely stabilize."

"You should also be a pirate right? Don't you want to participate in the next grand banquet in New World?"

The so-called grand 'banquet' was nothing more than the election of the Four Emperors.

Mio was very clear about this. However, Mio was very self-aware of his own strength.

Shrugging, Mio grinned, "I want to go, but it's not the time yet."

"With my current strength, I am not qualified to meddle in the New World's situation, so I'll wait. Anyway, I'm not anxious now."

"Don't look at the noise of New World. The ones who are noisy are just some residue on the ocean. The really powerful guys are still observing the situation."

Although he was in North Blue before, and had just come to the Grand Line recently.

But Mio knew about the situation of the New World.

The era of the Four Emperors had not yet arrived. But it was coming soon.

All the pirates in the current New World were involuntarily developing towards the Four Emperors era.

When the time is up, the Four Emperors will naturally appear, and they will be recognized by all the pirates, and then the era of the Four Emperors will come.

Once the Four Emperors appear, the seven Warlords will also appear.

But this time is not now.

The Four Emperors can't be selected so easily.

Right now, the only one who can become one of the Four Emperors without any objection is Whitebeard.

The other people who would be part of the Four Emperors in the future were not qualified now.

They were all working hard in the New World, showing their strength, courage, and accumulating their own heritage crazily.

In addition to these people, New World houses many other great pirates.

They also want to become the overlords of the New World.

So, if they want to become part of the Four Emperors, the resistance will not be small.

So Mio was not in a hurry.

He was very interested in the position of Four Emperors, but now he was not strong enough.

He had no choice but to develop with peace of mind.

Fortunately, he still has enough time to develop his own strength, so he doesn't need to rush.

"You seem to be very confident." Mihawk said.

In his eyes, he saw that there was nothing but self-confidence in Mio's eyes at this moment.

In response, Mio grinned lightly, "Isn't self-confidence good?"

"Makes sense."

"Where are you going next?"

"Alabasta, how about you? Are you going to take a stroll?"

"No." Mihawk shook his head.

"I will go directly to New World. There are still a few swordsmen who I haven't challenged yet."

"I believe you will succeed in the challenge." Mio smiled.

He raised his wine glass and touched Mihawk's glass, taking a sip.

The ship moved slowly towards Alabasta, and the small boat of Mihawk was also fixed next to his ship, leading it to move forward together.

On the way forward, there were some uninhabited islands.

At this time, Mio and Mihawk had finished drinking, and the sky hadn't darkened yet.

The ship came to a small uninhabited island not far away.

Mio pulled out Raikiri from his waist, grinning, "Mind giving me some advice?"

Regarding his own swordsmanship, Mio knew that it was not strong, but he still wanted to see the gap between him and Mihawk.

"Happily." Mihawk also pulled out the black sword Yami behind him.

He said calmly, "But to be honest, I want to spar with the other person on your ship first."

He was referring to Erica.

In this regard, Mio said helplessly, "What you said makes me very sad. Although I am not as skilled as Erica, I will be embarassed by you saying that."

"Haha." After hearing this, Mihawk gave a chuckle.

He had seen many pirate groups, but there were relatively few pirate groups like this one who had a harmonious crew.

And the people he had met on this Pirate Group were even more interesting.

Mio and Mihawk jumped directly to the uninhabited island.

Robin put her chin on her hands, and looked at the two people on the island.

She asked curiously, "Erica, who do you think will win, captain or Mr. Mihawk?"

"Although I really want master to win, in terms of swordsmanship, I feel that Mr. Mihawk is stronger." Erica said after thinking for a moment.

"Why? You haven't fought against Mr. Mihawk? Why do you think his swordsmanship is better than captain's?" Robin wondered.

"Feeling." Erica smiled slightly.

"When a person's strength reaches a certain level, unless they deliberately conceal it, it is easy to feel the aura emanating from their body."

"And that aura is also related to strength."
