Chapter 496 - The First Encounter Between Dracule Mihawk and Uehara Naraku

Grandline.

A small boat was slowly sailing on the sea.

This small boat was really small, and there was only one person on the boat. It seemed that this small boat could not withstand any waves from the Grandline.

However, no one doubted that this small boat would not have any accident on the sea.

Because the owner of this small boat was the world’s strongest swordsman – Hawkeye Mihawk. According to his strength and superb navigation skills, he can easily pa.s.s through any wind and waves.

Along the way, Mihawk drove this small boat to the sea near Fishman Island and watched the world’s top battle between Whitebeard Pirates and Beast Pirates. By the way, see if you want to help the marine or something…

Just as Mihawk was going with the wind and closing his eyes to sleep, he sensed someone approaching his boat. It seemed to be coming for him.

It was a wars.h.i.+p carrying tangerine trees.

This wars.h.i.+p…

Mihawk slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of sharp eyes under the wide brim of his hat. His eyes stared at the wars.h.i.+p in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

“Huh? A wars.h.i.+p sent by the marine?”

“Yes!”

On the deck of the wars.h.i.+p stood a smiling man with narrowed eyes. A crisp voice then fell into Mihawk’s ears, “Mr. Dracule Mihawk, I am the Marine Captain at the headquarters sent by Vice Admiral Kabuto to welcome you!”

“There is no need for that.”

Mihawk calmly shook his head, and his cold voice had a hint of unquestionable meaning, “I will find the sea where they are fighting and watching the battle on the marine wars.h.i.+p; maybe I will get into some trouble.”

‘If I remember correctly…’

Mihawk remembered that this Uehara was once the subordinate of the former s.h.i.+chibukai Crocodile, and then this Crocodile was imprisoned…

‘Is this guy a spy sent by the marine?’

‘This kind of person…’

Mihawk didn’t like him at all!

Moreover, Uehara had an ominous aura about him that made Mihawk feel a little repulsed.

‘Perhaps this Uehara…’

‘was also World Government CP agents?’

When Mihawk thought of this, he closed his eyes impatiently, “You lead the way; I will be behind…”

Before his voice fell, Mihawk suddenly thought of something!

The next moment, Mihawk’s Kenbunshoku Haki(Observation Haki) instantly covered the entire wars.h.i.+p. His gaze faintly changed…

‘How could there only be Uehara on this wars.h.i.+p?’

‘It doesn’t make sense…’

‘How did this Uehara know that he accepted the secret marine enlistment, and how did he know that Vice Admiral Kabuto invited him to this sea area?’

Mihawk’s eyes instantly looked up again; his eyes were fixed on Uehara on the deck of the wars.h.i.+p as if he wanted to see through everything!

Uehara didn’t know what Mihawk was thinking. Still, he didn’t care about Mihawk’s att.i.tude; he just smiled.

“Mr. Mihawk.”

Uehara was still tirelessly trying to persuade him, “If you ride on my wars.h.i.+p, you will be faster. Moreover, we are already monitoring the battle between Whitebeard Pirates and Beast Pirates. Admiral Kizaru is also waiting for you…”

“Don’t block my way.”

Mihawk slowly lowered his head and interrupted Uehara.

There was a bit of hesitation on Uehara’s face. He continued to explain in a low voice, “I came from far away to welcome you…”

Clang!

Mihawk slowly stood up and pulled out the black sword behind him!

Since he didn’t know what was going on…

Moreover, he didn’t want to pay attention to the Marine Captain in front of him or to say that he was a CP agent pretending to be a Marine Captain… Then there was no need to continue wasting time!

According to Mihawk’s method, he naturally wanted to destroy the wars.h.i.+p that was blocking his way and continue to move according to his route.

As for killing Uehara…

Mihawk didn’t deliberately want to do this. He just wanted to destroy this wars.h.i.+p so as not to waste his time.

“Mr. Mihawk, this is…”

Uehara, who was standing on the deck of the wars.h.i.+p, had a look of surprise on his face. He looked at Mihawk, who pulled out his black sword with some fear. He seemed to be scared silly!

“Because you are too long-winded.”

Mihawk swung the black sword in his hand, and a powerful slash directly struck the wars.h.i.+p and was about to split the wars.h.i.+p into two!

“This is too much!”

A touch of anger suddenly flashed on Uehara’s face. He flew up from the deck and directly kicked away the powerful slas.h.!.+

Uehara landed on the wars.h.i.+p again and angrily looked down at Mihawk, who was on the small boat, “Dracule Mihawk, you are just a mere s.h.i.+chibukai; how dare you attack a marine…”

This sentence made people hear…

As if he was the Marine Fleet Admiral.

Mihawk’s eyes fell on Uehara again; his eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. He was a bit surprised that Uehara kicked his slash…

‘This…’

‘Was it really possible for a Marine Captain to do this?’

‘Even a Marine Vice Admiral wouldn’t be able to block his attack!’

‘At least from the looks of it, this Uehara should be an extraordinary Marine Captain, no wonder the marine would send this guy to welcome me…’

Mihawk looked at Uehara and expressionlessly put away his black blade. He then coldly said, “It’s just a test… Even if you are a marine, you can’t break the agreement between s.h.i.+chibukai. Help me drag my s.h.i.+p up!”

After that, Mihawk carried the black sword on his back and jumped to the deck of the wars.h.i.+p, “Alright, hurry up and deal with it. Leave immediately!”

“Yes!”

Uehara was still looking at Mihawk with a face full of anger. He gritted his teeth hatefully as if he was still dissatisfied with Mihawk’s previous actions.

Uehara stared at Mihawk, his face still filled with anger, “Then please take a rest, Mr. Mihawk. I will deal with it right away!”

Uehara glanced at Mihawk’s coffin boat with a disgusted look on his face. He pulled the rope and dragged the coffin boat behind the wars.h.i.+p.

“Huh?”

Mihawk looked at the way Uehara handled his boat in surprise. His expression could not help but change, “Huh? That’s how you handled it?”

“What else?”

Uehara snapped his fingers speechlessly.

The next moment, the sea breeze instantly floated up from the sea, blowing the sails of the wars.h.i.+p and driving the wars.h.i.+p at a fast speed!

Mihawk looked at this scene in surprise.

‘To be able to control the sea breeze out of thin air, was this really a Marine Captain?’

Just as Mihawk wanted to ask something, he suddenly remembered his boat that was being dragged. He reached out to stop Uehara, “Hey, wait…”

Unfortunately, it’s already too late…

As the wars.h.i.+p quickly sailed, the coffin boat that was being dragged by the wars.h.i.+p instantly flipped over, like a wooden plank floating in the sea…

‘What kind of marine is this guy!’

‘Did this guy even know how to tow s.h.i.+p!’

Even though Mihawk was calm in dealing with things and was usually unmoved by external things, his expression was a bit ugly when he saw his small boat being treated so rudely…

Mihawk had a feeling that when he met this navy, he was always in a bad mood.

Uehara didn’t notice it at all. He glanced at Mihawk’s boat that was dragged over by the wars.h.i.+p, and his mood finally improved a bit. He smiled at Mihawk again.

“Mr. Mihawk, the journey will be very long. Would you like a gla.s.s of juice?”

“…”

Mihawk shook his head and revealed a cold face to Uehara, “Just give me a bottle of red wine.”

‘Why is there fruit juice everywhere in the sea recently…’

Last time, after Mihawk partic.i.p.ated in Sasuke’s encirclement, he took a look at the red-haired Shanks. In the end, he saw Red Hair Pirates’ vice-captain, Benn Beckman, holding a fruit juice. He didn’t even touch a drop of wine…

Moreover, Mihawk faintly recalled that Kisame and Doflamingo, the two s.h.i.+chibukai who had taken action before, always drank fruit juice…

‘When did this start to become popular…’

‘Why is there fruit juice everywhere in the sea now? Is it because the beer not bold enough or because the red wine was not elegant enough? Why do they like to drink fruit juice like a child?’

There was still a smile on Uehara’s face. He just shook his head and said, “Sorry, my family is strict. There is no red wine on the boat. Now, there is only juice.”

“…”

Mihawk was choked.

‘Was this broken wars.h.i.+p really here to receive him?’

Any marine officer who received a s.h.i.+chibukai should at least know that he liked red wine the most!

Uehara seemed to feel a little rude, and after hesitating for a while, he explained, “However, the juice on board is freshly squeezed from fresh tangerine.”

Mihawk was silent for a while, then he found a chair and sat down. He glanced at the tangerine tree on the wars.h.i.+p and calmly said, “Forget it, let’s have a cup!”

“Okay.”

Uehara nodded seriously and casually took a cup from the table in the cabin and placed it beside Mihawk.

The next moment, a sea breeze blew.

A few tangerines fell down from the tree and floated above the cup.

Uehara waved his fingers toward the tangerines, and in the next second, the tangerines were instantly cut into pieces!

Uehara suddenly clenched his fist. A strong force appeared out of thin air and slowly crushed the tangerines into pieces.

Tangerine juice fell into the cup…

“Huh?”

Mihawk stared at Uehara’s movements. This Marine Captain was indeed not simple. Just this move was a bit amazing…

Uehara was like a waiter. He picked up the cup and walked to Mihawk. He smiled and continued to ask, “Mr. Mihawk, do you want to add ice?”

“…”

Mihawk was silent for a while. He looked at the smile on Uehara’s face and slowly nodded, “Sure.”

“Okay.”

A cold air emerged from Uehara’s palm, and a piece of ice appeared on the cup filled with fruit juice in his hand.

Uehara slowly placed the cup of fresh fruit juice in his hand in front of Hawkeye and said with a smile, “Please. I hope Mr. Mihawk can enjoy a pleasant journey on this wars.h.i.+p.”

Because…

The future life of this world’s strongest swordsman…

Perhaps, it should probably, not be particularly pleasant.ƒ?ℯ???????e?. ???
