Seeing the fighting spirit boiling, but choosing to suppress Rob, and holding the supreme sharp sword in his hand - Mihawk, his gaze was slightly turbulent, and he did not choose to forcibly pull Rob to do it.
Instead, he said with a little curiosity:
"Your talent is quite powerful, and you already have such powerful power at the age of twelve! I think, if you can abandon those useless emotions and concentrate on pursuing the way of swordsmanship, you would be even stronger now!"
Hearing Mihawk's words, Rob froze for a moment. Then he smiled and said:
"If I did that, I wouldn't be myself anymore!"
"The pursuit of power is meaningless. I just want to do what I want to do! You are a loner who only needs a coffin boat to travel. It is impossible for you to understand the beauty of family love!"
bang-
Mihawk's fist was hardened, and he looked at Rob with obvious displeasure in his eyes:
"You bastard, your words are worse than Shanks'!"
What if I'm a loner?
What if I travel by coffin boat?
I am happy!
choke--
Pulling out Shinto from his waist, Rob didn't care about Mihawk's displeasure at all. He just opened his mouth and said:
"First figure out your position! You bastard, you're the enemy who came to my door! Do you want me to say a few words of welcome? There must be a limit to being arrogant, Mihawk!"
Well--
After hearing Rob's words, Mihawk had nothing to say, but silently adjusted his state, waiting for the two sisters Rob mentioned to leave this town!
Then--
They would talk with swords!
Time passed bit by bit.
Five minutes later.
Swish—
Rob sensed that Robin and Uta had returned to the Platinum Angel, and after leaving the port, he raised his eyes to look at Mihawk, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his fighting spirit suddenly rose!
Instantly understanding the battle signal released by Rob, Mihawk didn't say a word. He raised the supreme sharp sword in his hand - Yoru, and directly slashed with an extremely ferocious stroke towards Rob. The violent slash instantly tore the street apart and hacked at Rob in a frenzy!
Zheng
Facing Mihawk's slashing attack, the Shinto in Rob's hand groaned softly, and the dark red demonic aura rose from the blade.
Then he slashed horizontally and swung it out. The moment the sword was swung, the buildings on both sides of the street were split into pieces, part of it remaining on the ground, and part of it flying in the air!
bang—
Two slashing strikes, one vertical and one horizontal, collided between Rob and Mihawk. The violent sword aura remained in a stalemate, finally turning into a sharp sword aura at the same time, tearing the streets and surrounding buildings, and dissipating at the same time.
Sa!
The eagle-eyed figure directly slashed at Rob, came to the sky above him, held the supreme sharp sword Yoru with both hands, wrapped the powerful Armament Haki around the blade, and then slashed towards Rob fiercely.
Taking a step forward without retreating, Rob's figure made a lunge posture ready to go, Armament Haki flowing like water directly wrapped around the blade of Shinto, and then faced the strike from Mihawk, swung the sword to meet it.
clang
Rumble!
The two supreme sharp swords collided together, and the terrifying clash was released instantly. The shock wave directly shattered the surrounding buildings, and the ground was also shattered, releasing dust in the explosion.
After a single collision with swords, the silhouettes of Rob and Mihawk kept intersecting, the supreme sharp sword in their hands - Shinto and Yoru, collided crazily, bursting out a series of metal and iron symphonies.
At the same time, there was a series of slashes that tore through the air, cutting off the buildings in Mock Town!
clang
Zheng
bang
After half a day, the battle between Rob and Mihawk was still not over, but nearly half of the huge Mock Town had been reduced to ruins, completely destroyed by the battle's fluctuations.
The night passed. Mock Town had been completely turned into ruins, with dense ravines, neatly broken buildings, etc., gathered together to form the battle scene between Rob and Mihawk!
The time came to the afternoon of the next day. On the sea near Jaya Island, pirate ships, bounty hunter ships, and the Marine warship carrying Mihawk, as well as the Platinum Angel at the forefront, were moored on the sea.
All eyes were on the battlefield in Mock Town!
"That battle has been going on for a day and a night! Those two are really monsters... they've been fighting without rest for so long!"
"Not to mention Mihawk, he's gradually being recognized as the 'world's greatest swordsman'! That 'genius swordsman' - Rob, can fight him for such a long time? What a monster!"
"Before, Mihawk was the 'world's greatest swordsman', but after this battle, if he loses, Rob will be the world's greatest swordsman!"
On the deck of the Platinum Angel, Robin held little Uta in her arms and looked at the already ruined Mock Town with serious eyes. She muttered to herself:
"Onii-chan..."
Uta grabbed Robin's shoulder with her little hand and also looked in the direction of Mock Town. She said in a milky voice:
"Onee-chan, will Ni-chan lose?"
Hearing Uta's inquiry, the corner of Robin's mouth rose:
"No! Oni-chan will win!"
Hearing Robin's answer, Uta nodded and said nothing more. Her large, watery eyes were fixed on Mock Town, just like Robin, firmly believing that her brother would win!
Into the night, on the battlefield of the ruins of Mock Town at this moment, a gust of sea wind blew over the battlefield, and there were two figures standing there, one tall and one short.
bass
Casually inserting Shinto in his hand on the stone under his feet.
Rob directly took off the tattered top he was wearing and discarded it on the battlefield, revealing his upper body with wounds of varying severity, some bleeding, and some scabbed.
He raised his eyes and looked straight at Mihawk, who was in a worse state than him.
Rob said loudly:
"It's enough! I don't want to continue this pointless war of attrition anymore! Next, use your strongest move, Mihawk, because I will also use the strongest and most ultimate cut I've practiced for years but haven't used yet!"
His swordsmanship realm and Mihawk's swordsmanship realm were just equal; there was no way to easily gain the upper hand, and it had been a war of attrition after fighting for so long!
Even with a body and physique like a natural monster, Rob didn't want to compete with Mihawk, a strong man in his prime, anymore. This didn't make much sense at all; it was better to make a quick decision!
Hearing Rob's words, Mihawk, who also knew that the competition was meaningless, showed a serious look with his eagle-like eyes.
He nodded and said, "As you wish!"
Swish
At the same time, Mihawk put on the best posture to strike a sword, his aura high, and Armament Haki unreservedly wrapped around the blade of the supreme sharp sword in his hand!
To say that we do our best is to do our best.
Mihawk didn't think that Rob's final strike was something he could easily follow!
"Good!"
After saying this, Rob pulled out Shinto again, and wrapped the powerful Armament Haki directly around the blade. At the same time, a demonic aura that seemed to be one with Rob himself also enveloped the blade of Shinto.
Both of them adjusted their states, accumulating their best strength!
With a slightly low posture, in the next moment—
Thump!
Rob crushed the huge boulder under his feet, and his figure instantly appeared in the sky above the battlefield of Mock Town. The air under his feet was constantly being trampled and exploded. He stopped briefly in the sky, looking down at Mihawk below.
Swish—
Shinto drew a saber light.
Rob looked serious:
"This technique is not fully perfected yet! But now, it is enough! If you can withstand this strike, the title of 'World's Greatest Swordsman' will be yours, Mihawk!"
Armament Haki, like flowing water, violently stirred like a flame, and Shinto groaned softly. Rob closed and opened his eyes, locked onto Mihawk below, and then charged up and slashed out!
Zheng
In the night sky, there was the sound of a sword groaning, and the strike that Rob unleashed, the violent sword energy, instantly split the air, just like when he practiced this technique under the sea, splitting the seawater with terrible pressure time and time again!
Mihawk, who was locked onto by this strike, suddenly shrank his pupils. He didn't dare to hold back at all. The veins in his hands burst out as he swung the sword in his hand with a force beyond his own limit!
The wounds on his body instantly began to bleed profusely due to the extreme exertion, squeezing the limit of his body.
Swish—
The huge slash went against Rob's saber energy, seeming evenly matched, the two sides equally powerful!
However, at the moment the two attacks collided, Mihawk's slash was torn apart instantly like paper. Rob's attack fell directly from the air to the ruins of Mock Town without any hindrance!
Rumble—
A huge roar and dust covered the battlefield, and even the people watching the battle in the surrounding sea area could feel a sharp sensation, causing the sea to create huge waves!
For a long time, the movement just stopped!
Then everyone looked in the direction of Mock Town curiously:
"Who's winning?"
"Idiot! Mihawk's slashes were chopped to pieces! He must have lost! I just don't know if he's dead or not."
"It's really terrifying! Is this the strength of a Great Swordsman?"
Not long after, the dust dissipated, and people watched with binoculars, finally seeing a new, extremely conspicuous, huge ravine that appeared in the ruins of Mock Town, running through the entire town and connecting to the sea!
Jaya Island—
Got split!

Crash
The turbulent seawater poured into the deep chasm that split a corner of Jaya Island, separating it from the rest of the island.
It was entirely predictable that once this huge chasm filled with seawater, the small island would be completely detached from the main Jaya Island, forming two adjacent islands of different sizes!
whoosh
A figure fell from the air, and Rob landed on the small island. He then looked across, noticing with some surprise the standing but somewhat despondent expression of Hawkeye.
When Hawkeye saw Rob falling from the sky, he also looked at him with complicated eyes. The two stared at each other in silence for a while.
brush
The Shinto in Rob's hand swirled before he finally sheathed the sword.
Looking at Hawkeye with surprise:
"I thought you would choose to take all of me head-on!"
Rob put away his sword.
Hawkeye also had no intention of continuing to fight. His heart was quite complicated, and he had no fighting spirit left.
After hearing Rob's words of ridicule, or perhaps genuine doubt, Hawkeye was silent for a while, not knowing how to respond to Rob's question.
Did he look like a suicidal idiot?
Only...
This time, subconsciously avoiding Rob's sword, was indeed a shame for Hawkeye!
He never thought he would lose in swordsmanship, much less that one day, when faced with a swordsman's slash, he would subconsciously choose to dodge! A great shame.
Hawkeye regarded this retreat as the greatest shame of his life.
Without further ado, he turned around.
Walking towards the sea, Hawkeye's voice came:
"That sword... is very powerful! So this time, I lost! The title of 'World's Greatest Swordsman' belongs to you! When I feel able to face your sword, I will challenge you again!"
Hearing Hawkeye's words, Rob's face remained casual:
"Okay! But you have to do it soon, otherwise, after a few more years, when my body grows up and this sword is perfected, you won't have this chance again, Hawkeye."
After a pause, Hawkeye said nothing more, leaving in silence.
Once Hawkeye left, Rob stretched his waist and leisurely walked toward the other side of the coast. After fighting for so long, his stomach was already hungry, and he needed a good meal when he returned to the ship!
Compared to Hawkeye's preoccupation, Rob's mood could be described as relaxed and happy.
After today's battle erupts across the sea, defeating Hawkeye and splitting the island with a single sword stroke should make all the swordsmen recognize the title of the world's number one swordsman!
It doesn't matter if a few people don't admit it!
From Rob's understanding of the bird man Morgans, he must be excited and ready to broadcast the news, crowning Rob as the strongest swordsman without hesitation!
No matter what--
After such a long time, Rob is finally going to get his first "Strongest" title!
Time flies, and two days passed leisurely.
The Big and Small Jaya Islands, after the war, have begun to be rebuilt. On the ruins of Mock Town, people are working everywhere, including treasure hunters trying to find valuables in the ruins.
The Platinum Angel is docked on the shore of the small island, creating an absolutely quiet area where no one dares to disturb.
Joke!
Two nights ago, they saw the sword that split Jaya Island. They knew it was Rob who wielded it. Who would dare to disturb his rest without thinking?
No one believes their small body is tougher than Jaya Island!
Now--
On the deck of the Platinum Angel, the shirtless Rob, as always, practiced with the unsheathed Shinto, repeating his impressive sword skills that didn't even have names.
As for the wounds on his body, they have already healed.
Correct!
In just two days, Rob fully recovered from all the injuries he sustained from the previous battle with Hawkeye.
There might still be traces, but those scars are slowly disappearing.
Just as all the scars from Rob's battle with Shanks in East Blue years ago have faded away, so will the scars left by Hawkeye. They will be completely gone soon!
All of this is due to his first talent - born strong, which gives him a powerful physique and the ability to transform into powerful vitality just by eating.
"Hah"
After rehearsing the last sword technique, Rob let out a long breath.
With a satisfied smile on his face:
"I've become stronger again! It seems that fighting against the strong does accelerate growth! The feeling of becoming stronger is really good!"
While speaking, Rob placed the Shinto beside him, stretched his body, and was ready to go back to the cabin kitchen to make lunch.
At this time, Robin brought little Uta back to the Platinum Angel from the shore with a newspaper in her hand.
"Oni-chan!"
Robin had a smile on her face:
"Today's newspaper is here! There's news about Oni-chan today! And it's big news. The newspaper said that Oni-chan is the strongest swordsman in the world and deserves to be the 'World's Greatest Swordsman'!"
Swish
Rob's eyes lit up as he took the newspaper from Robin's hand and began reading it.
The headlines on the front page were all about him:
[Hawkeye - Dracule Mihawk, defeated by the "genius master" - Rob! The strongest swordsman of this era has appeared! He is the well-deserved "world's number one swordsman" - Rob!]
News with photos:
One showed the sword slash Rob delivered from the sky that night, seemingly bathed in moonlight. The second was a photo of Jaya Island smoothly split and blocked by seawater into two islands. The third was a picture of a downcast Hawkeye.
Immediately afterward, the headline of the second edition was still Rob's news. This time it was about his Ultimate Cut:
[The ultimate sword that splits the island, an unstoppable sure-kill sword, the strongest sword that is invincible in the world! Hawkeye admits with his own eyes—the next sword will be his only purpose after that.]
There was a photo of Rob holding his sword, shirtless, standing against the wind. He looked quite young, but also very handsome and domineering!
This photo—
It was Rob who had found a reporter from the newspaper, posed for the photos on purpose, asked him to capture them in place, and then selected the best ones himself. He had them reported to Morgans to ensure the most handsome pictures were published!
Why do such a seemingly pointless thing?
That's easy—
Because looking handsome!
No man can resist having his handsome photos spread across the sea. Even that red-haired guy, Shanks, had a close-up photo on his current bounty poster!
And being handsome is never meaningless.
While Rob was reading the news, the system voice sounded in his mind for the first time in a long while:
'With your own sword skills, you have become the strongest swordsman, and your reputation is gradually increasing! You have activated your fifth talent - extreme sublimation!'
"Um?!"
Rob frowned.
"Is there such a good thing?"
It was an unexpected surprise to become the world's number one swordsman and unlock a new talent!
Hearing Rob's words, Robin looked puzzled:
"Oni-chan, what good news?"
Rob smiled and shook his head, reaching out to touch Robin's little head:
"It's all small things! Don't worry about it! Let's go - to celebrate my becoming the 'World's No. 1 Swordsman,' let's have a feast tonight and drink a little wine!"
While speaking, Rob picked up little Uta at his feet and walked into the cabin. Robin, behind him, tilted her head and followed, not worrying about the good thing Rob had mentioned.
"Anyway, as long as it's a good thing."
Rob's ascension to the position of the world's number one swordsman caused quite a stir around the world.
These waves have nothing to do with him!
He doesn't pay attention to these situations, so naturally, he doesn't care.
As for whether other people care, it has nothing to do with him. As long as it does not affect his voyage or the freedom and safety of him and the people around him, it is enough.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, history progressed to the Sea Circle Calendar at the beginning of January 1506!
On this day, it was on the White Sea, seven kilometers above Blue Sea.
Bang
A powerful soaring ocean current broke through the White Sea, and then Platinum Angel, slightly modified, jumped out of the broken hole in the White Sea, falling heavily on the surface!
Once the Angel stopped, Robin and Uta on the deck, unaffected by the high altitude and low oxygen environment, both came to the side of the railing, looking curiously at the White Sea completely formed by clouds!
"Is this the ocean above the sky?" Robin's face was full of surprise. "The ocean is truly amazing!"
Uta lay on the railing, her eyes wide with curiosity as she looked at the sea of clouds. She asked Rob, who also looked curious:
"Ni-chan, is it possible to swim in the sea here?"
Robin also looked at Rob curiously.
Rob smiled, habitually reaching out to rub Uta's long hair. He said:
"Yes! But the sea here, like the sea below, can affect Devil Fruit users, and there are creatures in the sea of clouds. For various reasons, it is even more dangerous than ordinary seas! So don't think about going down to play! It's very dangerous!"
Upon hearing his words, both Robin and Uta nodded, expressing their understanding. They were a bit regretful, though. After all, this ocean composed of clouds looked fun at first glance, but it was a pity that they, as Devil Fruit users, couldn't enter the water.
