One Piece: Throne War

"Are their personalities the same?" Usopp asked as he heard Cross's words.

"If it's true then we become friends with a crazy person and I want to know how crazy he is when compared to Luffy" Zoro answered while looking at Cross.

Then Don Krieg's ship arrived at Baratie and everyone got off it. Don Krieg who saw the Black Pearl immediately said "I want that ship. If the owner is not happy then he can come here and I will kill him hahaha."

Cross and the others didn't care much about what Don Krieg said. But ordinary people who heard Don Krieg's words were afraid and looked at Cross with compassionate eyes. Luffy began to get angry at Don Krieg's words because he wanted to steal his friend's ship.

"What do you want to do here Don Krieg?" a voice came from above Baratie.

"I want food for my crew and ship. My ship was destroyed in the Grand Line so I want to get a new one," answered Don Krieg because he assumed everything in Baratie was afraid of him.

"We can't feed them owner Zeff, if we feed them then they will attack us after they finish eating" Patty shouted.

"Zeff? Are you Zeff who has been to the Grand Line and returned?" Don Krieg asked because he had heard about Zeff.

"Yes, I have been to the Grand Line and returned from there," Zeff answered casually and recalled his past.

"Then you must have a trip record when on the Grand Line, give it to me. Then I will return to the Grand Line with more troops," said Don Krieg.

Before Zeff replied to Don Krieg's words someone shouted "oiii what is that? Something is coming here!"

Don Krieg looked in the direction pointed by the visitors to Baratie and he was really angry because the person who was appointed was responsible for the destruction of his sh.i.p.s on the Grand Line. 'That person kept chasing me all the way to East Blue. Really crazy!' thought Don Krieg.

"Saeko and Law get ready to test how far you are with someone at the top," Cross said.

Saeko and Law didn't understand what Cross meant but they were still prepared to fight. But Sairaorg knew the person who had just arrived because Cross had told the names of the strongest people in the world. The person in front of them was Dracule Mihawk.

What followed was Luffy fighting with Don Krieg and defeating him. Zoro fought Mihawk and Zoro was defeated with a large wound on his body. Of course Cross didn't forget to save Don Krieg's golden armor for some research

"Shizuka treats that green-haired man," Cross said.

"Fine" Shizuka then went to Zoro and treated his wound.

When Mihawk saw Zoro treated by Shizuka he wanted to leave but he stopped because of Cross's words.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave? Stay a little longer and let my friend fight you," Cross said.

"Why should I obey your request?" said Mihawk coldly.

"If you want to fight for a while with my friend then I'll give this" while throwing a bottle of wine.

"Blood wine? Interesting, someone at East Blue can have this wine," said Mihawk who received the bottle and is now interested in Cross's background.

"Are you interested now? If you want to fight with two of my friends, I'll give you one more bottle," Cross said with a smile. Blood wine is Cross's creation so he can give as much as he wants. Cross sells Blood Wine in Underworld and he only sells 10 bottles per month so the price is very expensive. If someone wants to buy Blood Wine they need at least 50 million berries for 1 bottle.

"Alright, I'll fight with your friends," answered Mihawk because Cross's offer was too good to pass up.

The people in Baratie were surprised to hear Mihawk's and Cross's conversation. 'Don't you see the power of Mihawk? Even Zoro lost and you want to challenge him for your friend? Crazy!' everyone thought and felt sorry for Cross's friends.

"I'll be the first to fight," Law said, pulling out his katana.

"Ohh, I guess you've not interested Law, and let Saeko fight first," Furcas said mockingly.

"There's no way I can let this opportunity slip by," Law said and walked in front of Mihawk.

Mihawk pulled out the small knife that had been used. Seeing this Cross laughed very loudly and said "HAHAHA if you can't force Mihawk to take out his sword then you shouldn't need to use your katana anymore."

"Room"

Then a very large room appeared. People don't know what it is but they back away. Zoro who had been treated stood up to watch Mihawk fight.

"Do you still not want to draw your sword?" asked Law.

"That's not necessary," said Mihawk in a cold tone.

"Shambles"

Law swapped Mihawk's position for a nearby wood. And try to cut down Mihawk using swords that have been coated with haki. Seeing Law use haki Mihawk was a little surprised and took out his sword and resisted Law's attack. The collision of the two swords caused a shock wave. And the people watching were almost thrown.

"Straw hat boy !! Did you hear ?! On the Grand Line is a place where people like them exist. A gathering place for monsters. The number of people on your ship is not important on the Grand Line. The most important thing is strength !! If you compare Grand Line with East Blue then you are wrong. People like Don Krieg are just insects on the Grand Line. Remember that carefully !! " said Zeff. Zeff reminded Luffy because he didn't want Sanji to follow someone who didn't know his own strength. Then he looked at Zoro and thought 'it is true he is a strong man in East Blue but in the Grand Line there are many people like him.'

Luffy and the people who heard Zeff's words were shocked. Especially customers who are in Baratie, because just hearing the name of Don Krieg has scared them. And Zeff said Don Krieg was just an insect on the Grand Line. These words seemed to open their minds. But Luffy just got even more excited about going to the Grand Line. Zoro saw Law and don't know what to do, he thought Mihawk strength was not so far from his own strength but the fact was he couldn't force Mihawk to use his sword. And someone of almost the same age makes Mihawk pull out his sword.

After the collision, Law immediately withdrew and sheathed his sword again. Seeing this Mihawk was confused and asked "are you done?"

"Yes, our power difference is too far. And I also don't want to destroy this place if I fight seriously. And also I don't have a dream of becoming the number one swordsman, I'm just a ship doctor," Law said as he walked toward Cross.

Cross just relaxed while smoking a cigarette and thought Mihawk's sword was very interesting 'If only I could experiment with that sword then Megalodon would get stronger. '

All people thought 'if the ship's doctor is this strong then what about the captain.' Then they looked at Cross who was smoking.

"You only fought for a while, you should have fought longer to get stronger," said Sairaorg with a little disappointed.

"I'm not that stupid Sairaorg, from the impact I was able to estimate the difference in strength. And also he held my sword without using haki" said Law.

"Eh? He doesn't use haki ?!" Furcas said with surprise. Because he thought at least Mihawk would hold him back using haki.

"Wow, the difference in power is so far," Liban said mockingly.

"Shut up or I'll cut you off to make fish food in the aquarium," Law said, slightly annoyed.

"Hehe, just try it," said Liban and took out his sword.

Seeing this Furcas only shook his head. He looked at Cross and waited for Cross to silence Liban. But Cross only smoked and didn't care what his crew was doing. Seeing this Furcas said "Liban if you fight with Law then the one who will ask him to restore your body as before is me so can you be quiet? Because I'm not in the mood to help you"

"Tsk, alright," Liban said and clicked his tongue.

Saeko then advanced to the front of Mihawk and took out her katana. People were surprised because the next challenger was a woman and she was young. Zoro saw this thinking 'the man said he was just a ship doctor. Is this woman a swordsman in their group? '

"Saeko Busujima," said Saeko.

"Dracule Mihawk," said Mihawk.

After that brief introduction, Saeko disappeared. People only know that Saeko disappeared but that's wrong. Saeko didn't disappear, she just moved too fast. Mihawk continued to pay close attention to Saeko's movements and was surprised because of this speed he usually encountered in the New World.

"Seven Death," said Saeko who had swung her katana at Mihawk. Mihawk holds back all the slashes made by Saeko. People only saw Saeko cut once but the truth was she cut seven times and that was very fast. "Your technique is very good," said Mihawk.

* Boom * * Boom * * Boom *

Don Krieg ship which was destroyed became increasingly destroyed. "Those two swordsmen will kill us only with battle effects !!" one customer shouted.

"You don't need to be afraid, they won't kill you," Hisashi said, trying to calm the customer.

Then they looked again at least Saeko and Mihawk. They saw the battle that was different now from the previous one. The difference is because Law only wants to test his strength so he only fights very briefly. But Saeko is different, because she wants to see the limits of her strength when fighting.

Saeko uses soru and appears behind Mihawk. Mihawk uses observation haki and holds Saeko's slash without looking back. Mihawk tries to cut down Saeko and Saeko avoids it with kami-e. But Saeko could not avoid Mihawk's slash completely and injured her left shoulder. Seeing her left shoulder hurt Saeko immediately grabbed her katana and used Soru to appear in front of Mihawk and tried to cut Mihawk's left hand. Mihawk holds Saeko's slash but when Mihawk's sword comes into contact with Saeko's katana, Mihawk suddenly feels something is wrong.

"Rokougan"

Saeko uses rokougan, and she uses rokougan with her sword. Saeko channeled her strength into her sword and released it. Mihawk who received the attack and remained standing but behind Mihawk the sea was split in half for a moment because Saeko's Rokougan power was very strong.

"Looks like you used haki hehe" said Saeko who jumped back and laughed happily because Mihawk used haki during the final collision.

Realizing that he was using haki, Mihawk could only see Saeko and thought 'East Blue gave birth to many monsters.'

Saeko uses soru again to appear next to Mihawk and uses Seven Death. Mihawk dodges Saeko's attack and tries to cut off Saeko's left hand that has been injured. Saeko held Mihawk's slash and was thrown far into the sea. Before falling, Saeko used geppo and returned to the front of Mihawk.

"Sword Punishment"

Saeko gathered all the energy she had in her sword and the aura of her sword grew even greater. Mihawk who saw this immediately thought 'it is not a domain but at the moment I feel that aura can cut anything and anyone that blocks it. Is this her technique? If someone can turn their energy into an aura that will be really dangerous. If she can control aura of the sword and can have a domain means the domain she will have in the future is stronger than other people's domains. It might even be stronger than me. '

Saeko swings her sword from afar and Mihawk coats his sword with haki to withstand Saeko's attack. The two collisions caused the calm sea to be chaotic.

After a while, the sea became calm again. Saeko stood with bloody shoulders and Mihawk stood as nothing had happened. Then Mihawk said, "your technique is really dangerous."

Saeko just smiled, because this technique belonged to her family. And she wants to make the World Governments pay for what they have done to her families and islanders.

"Thank you for fighting with my two friends," Cross said, throwing Blood Wine.

Mihawk catches the bottle and asks "I know you are also a weapon user. You are their captain so I am a little curious about your strength."

Cross only casually replied, "weapons are not my specialty, I only practice a little about weapons." Then he walked back to Baratie.

Mihawk who saw Cross wanted to go ask him "what is your name, young man?"

"Fate D. Cross," Cross answered without looking at Mihawk.

Mihawk left Baratie and wanted to meet Shanks to challenge him to fight.
