One Piece: Master of Genes

"Oh oh."

Robin nodded like she had understood.

She could understand some of these things but she also couldn't understand some of them.

After all, she has not reached that point of strength.

But she had some desire for strength at this time.

After all, she knew from previous experiences that if she was strong, she could better protect herself.

"Erica, can you teach me so that I can become stronger?" Robin asked.

Hearing this, Erica looked at Robin, smiled and shook her head.

"My strongest strength is swordsmanship. So, I am not suitable for teaching you."

"Why? Don't I have a talent for swordsmanship?" Robin asked curiously.

"No."

Erica shook her head and explained, "Master said that you are a person with a Devil fruit abilitu."

"Since you have eaten a Devil fruit, the best way to become stronger is to increase your proficiency with it."

"If I teach you swordsmanship, the devil fruit abilities maybe somewhat mismatched, and your abilities will be wasted."

Robin had eaten the Flower-Flower Fruit which did not complement swordsmanship at all.

On the contrary, the replacement ability that Mio and Lilith had was a good match for swordsmanship.

In addition, Robin reads books every day. This is the habit that Robin has cultivated since childhood and it was impossible to let go.

So, if Robin was taught Swordsmanship, she wouldn't have that time at all.

Therefore, the best choice for Robin was to focus on mastering her Devil Fruit ability.

"But I can teach you Haki." Erica said with a smile.

"Master said that Haki is a must-have for the strong in New World in the second half of the Grand Line."

"Really? Thank you." Robin smiled upon hearing this.

"My Haki is not very strong either, just don't mind." Erica said with a chuckle.

"Of course not. You are already very good to me." Robin shook her head.

When the two were talking.

On the island.

The battle between Mio and Mihawk was about to begin.

In the face of Mihawk, the future world's number one swordsman, Mio used all his strength.

The battle had not yet begun, but the momentum on his body had burst out, without the slightest reservation.

"Please teach me."

Mio said in a deep voice, and immediately stepped out.

He dashed forward, and came to Mihawk in a flash. He slashed with his sword.

"One sword style! Black Crow!"

The black sword aura bloomed, and slashed away.

"Strange sword aura." Mihawk said when he saw this.

Then, he waved his black sword, and a green sword aura appeared in the blink of an eye.

Mihawk raised his sword and easily blocked Mio's slash.

After that, a shockwave was formed, and he moved a distance from Mio.

He said, "Your sword aura is very unique and this is the first time I have seen it. But your swordsmanship is just as you said, very general."

"Even though I know this, I am really sad when you say so." The corners of Mio's mouth twitched slightly and he said in a helpless tone.

"As a swordsman, how could you care about this kind of thing?" Mihawk said lightly.

He stepped out and arrived in front of Mio. He swung Yami, and slashed.

Clang! Clang!

Mio raised his hand to resist, and the two waved their swords against each other.

Every time they swung their swords, sparks splashed and the blades flickered.

Mihawk's slash cut a deep hole into the ground, making Mio frightened, and he quickly avoided.

Immediately afterwards, a backhand slash was returned.

This was a slash that Mio had made with his full strength.

It exuded a fierce aura inexplicably at this time, just like a wild beast roaring in madness, trying to tear everything in front of it.

Boom!

Mio's slash was easily blown away by Mihawk.

Afterwards, the two fought again.

But after a while, when the two separated, Mio gasped a little.

Mihawk's face was indifferent. He was much stronger than Mio in terms of physical strength.

However, Mio didn't consume too much stamina as well.

If it were before, he would have been out of breath at this time, but cultivating Hanyan had caused his physical strength to increase by a lot, so now he just had difficulty breathing.

But even so, he clearly knew the gap between him and the strong like Mihawk.

Strength.

And physical fitness.

In terms of strength, he used all his strength, but Mihawk still had some reservations.

As for physical fitness, the gap was too large.

Although he didn't use his replacement ability, Mihawk didn't use Haki either.

His own experience was still too little.

Although it was clear in his heart that he had lost to Mihawk, Mio grinned.

He still needed to do something before the end of the competition.

Taking a step out, Mio came to Mihawk, and the two of them swung their swords and passed by.

Suddenly, Mihawk frowned, then stretched out, nodding inadvertently.

At the same time, he couldn't help but glance deeply at Erica on the ship.

All this happpened in just a flash.

After a while, the two separated.

Mihawk held his sword in both hands, and said solemnly, "Are you ready?"

"Of course, come on." Mio grinned and nodded.

"I have already prepared so much. I hope I won't fail."

The last words were whispered softly, and they were not heard.

"Now that you're ready, then..."

Mihawk's tone became sharp in an instant, and a killing intent burst out.

The killing intent accumulated from beheading many people who had stepped into the sea over the years broke out from Mihawk's body without reservation.

The terrifying killing intent was felt by everyone on the boat, and Robin's face became even more pale.

Erica's face changed suddenly and she wondered whether this person wanted to kill Mio?

Thinking of this, Erica suddenly had the idea of ​​rushing towards the island.

As for Warwick and Lilith, although they were worried, they seemed to have thought of something and stopped on the deck without any thoughts.

Next moment.

Mihawk's figure disappeared.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Mio. He raised the black sword with both hands, and slashed it down.

"With this slash, I respect you, captain!"

A deep wound suddenly appeared on Mio's chest, and blood spewed out and spilled on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Erica's face suddenly changed, and became extremely pale.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Erica, making the calm sea turbulent.

"Master!!"

A voice full of anger and worry sounded from Erica's mouth.

Seeing Mio fall to the ground after being slashed with a stab in her sight, a violent aura exploded from Erica's body.

A silver atmosphere surrounded the area.

This was... Conqueror's Haki.

Under the cover of Conqueror's Haki, even Mihawk felt a slight shock to his spirit.

Although it was not a major problem, it felt as if something was crawling all over his body.

After a while, a hint of astonishment flashed through Mihawk's eyes...
