Chapter 485 Eagle and Snake
...
"Hey~ You! Why do you look unfamiliar? Whose subordinate are you working for?"
Kurozumi Orochi hugged the oiran with his left hand, pointed at the swordsman who suddenly appeared in the hall with the folding fan in his right hand and asked with a smile.
Mihawk said nothing, looking at the Kurozumi Orochi sitting in the main seat expressionlessly.
The sharp eyes made Kurozumi Orochi instinctively feel the danger. He subconsciously took a step back, then took a step forward calmly. He looked at the man in front of him who did not give him face with some fear and scolded him loudly.
"Damn it! Are you a mute? Didn't you hear me asking you a question?"
"Forehead...??"
After hearing Kurozumi Orochi's angry question, the warriors who were busy toasting each other in the venue noticed that an uninvited guest had appeared in the middle of the venue.
"??"
"Who is this guy? Why do I seem to have never seen him before?"
"I don't know. I don't know him either. Maybe he's new here? Does anyone know him?"
After confirming that the rude guy was not his subordinate, the small leader began to gloat and prepare to watch the show.
"Hey! New here! Do you know the rules, you bastard? Didn't you hear the general asking you a question?"
Several tall and strong warriors stepped forward and surrounded Mihawk, challenging him in a hostile tone.
"... "
Mihawk remained silent.
"Hey, hey, hey? What's wrong with this guy? Is he a mute?"
"I've heard of many blind swordsmen, but mute swordsmen are rare! Hahaha!"
Seeing that they were completely ignored by the other side, several warriors became more angry and even more unscrupulous.
"It's so pitiful. Not only is he mute, but he also has such an arrogant face. He must have offended many people and got beaten up in the past!"
A samurai pointed at the bruise on Mihawk's face that had not yet completely healed and laughed.
Mihawk frowned upon hearing this, and the memory he wanted to forget the most jumped out and attacked him again! This was the most embarrassing moment in his entire swordsman career so far, all thanks to that shameless great swordsman.
Normally, if the fight was normal, even if the young Mihawk was defeated by Rayleigh, who was still at the end of his prime, the fight would have lasted at least three days, three nights, and midnight to decide the winner. It would not have been possible for him to be carried out in less than half a day.
When masters fight, the outcome often depends on a single move or two. Rayleigh's lack of martial ethics and his sneak attack basically secured his victory.
"Whoo~"
Mihawk sighed to himself and thought to himself.
Sure enough, those who can walk with Captain Gill are not serious people! Even a small trainee security guard has to be careful.
However, if you lose, you lose. Combat is unlimited. You can only blame yourself for your inexperience and carelessness.
What's more, the security guard's true strength is above his own. The brief fight has made Mihawk realize that he still has a long way to go before he can become the "strongest swordsman".
"Hey! Baga Yalu! I've been standing in front of you and talking for a long time. I understand that you are dumb and can't speak, but what do you mean by not even looking at us? Are you blind too?"
A samurai waved his hand in front of Mihawk's eyes, and seeing that his golden eyes were still staring straight ahead without even blinking, he guessed.
"Hehehe, this knife looks really nice and fancy. It's a pity for it to be with a blind and mute person like you. Why don't you just give it to me?"
Seeing that the handle of the Black Blade was actually inlaid with a whole row of huge gems, the other samurai standing behind Mihawk sobered up a little. He couldn't help but reach out for the black sword, and said with a greedy smile on his face.
"Click~!"
Mihawk, who had been silent, finally moved. The warriors surrounding him also put their hands on the hilts of their swords and reacted cautiously. They were all people who could become small leaders, and they were not completely a bunch of good-for-nothings. They had some skills.
Mihawk slowly raised his hand and pulled out an exquisite knife from the cross pendant on his chest.
"you!"
“Wahahaha, wahahaha, wahahaha~!”
The warriors who were originally a little nervous couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw that Mihawk took out a mini knife less than three inches long.
"Are you here to make fun of me? Is this the drama show tonight?"
Mihawk looked indifferent, he looked down at the knife in his hand and said with an embarrassed expression.
"I'm terribly sorry! I really don't have a smaller knife than this one."
Invisible pretense is the most deadly.
The more you interact with Mihawk, the more you will find that this guy appears to be cold and boring on the surface, but actually hides a very coquettish heart. You will remember Captain Geller's comment on him: He may not know it himself, but this guy is really good at pretending.
The expressions on the warriors' faces changed from smugness after hearing the first half of the apology, to confusion at the second half, and finally to furious anger after finally reacting. They switched three times in one second, with the expressions just right, and they were able to control them freely without any signs of acting.
“Qiang Qiang Qiang!!”
A dozen samurai drew their swords and surrounded Mihawk.
"Lord Orochi, this guy must be an assassin sent by Kozuki Oden! Please give the order to capture him quickly! We swear to protect the safety of the general!"
The chestnut-headed warrior stepped forward to report.
“Huff~!”
“Bang~bang~bang~bang~bang!!”
Just as Kurozumi Orochi was about to open his mouth, he saw a circular green sword energy sweeping across the field quickly. Then he saw that the dozen or so warriors surrounding the "assassin" suddenly had blood spurting out of their chests, their eyes rolled back, and they fell down.
"This...this guy is so strong!!"
The chestnut-headed warrior standing next to the snake said with a trembling voice.
"There's an intruder~!!"
They had already seen blood, and the remaining one hundred or so warriors in the venue also woke up instantly. This was not just a show to entertain people, the other party was serious!
“Clang clang clang~~!”
Everyone drew their samurai swords and surrounded Mihawk, but no one dared to rush forward. At such a close distance, they didn't even see how the dozen companions on the ground were chopped down. This man was obviously a master swordsman. Don't be impulsive! The boss can be changed, but your life is your own.
The snake was a little panicked at first, but after calming down, he smiled and asked.
"Excellent, your swordsmanship is truly amazing. What's your name? Would you consider working for me?"
"Mihawk!"
Hawkeye said his name calmly, then he put away the knife in his hand and looked at Kurozumi Orochi and asked.
"Are you the general of Wano Country?"
"Guhoho!! That's right! I am the Shogun of Wano Country! The entire Wano Country belongs to me! Whether it's money! Power! Or women! Just ask for whatever you want! I can satisfy you! Wealth and glory are within your reach! Why should I continue to work for that naive fool Kozuki Oden?"
Kurozumi Orochi rubbed his big face against Meiji's chest in his arms and invited her with a look of enjoyment.
"No need, I will go get what I want!!"
Mihawk slowly pulled out the big knife from his back! The meaning was obvious.
