Chapter 259 Mihawk joins 7 Wu Hai
"It's so boring... Shanks, you actually participated in such an alliance..." Mihawk glanced at Shanks with some disappointment. Without even saying goodbye, he strode towards his boat and wanted to leave.
"Mihawk, let's drink together next time!" Shanks said loudly without trying to hold him back.
Mihawk was arrogant by nature and would only find trouble in the matter of the Pirate Alliance. He originally thought that Shanks had a similar personality to his own and was the same type of pirate, but he didn't expect that he would be involved in this "Pirate Alliance" that was based on the pursuit of fame and fortune, just like playing house.
Therefore, Mihawk actually became a little dissatisfied with Shanks.
Shanks naturally knows what Mihawk is thinking. But he wasn't going to explain it to Mihawk now. He decided that after the matter was completed, he would visit his fellow swordsman with the fine wine from his hometown of Xihai. He would have a good discussion first and then get drunk before resting.
He believed that Mihawk would choose to understand his decision after learning about Kozuki Oden. As for asking Mihawk to help him avenge himself, Shanks would not do such a thing. It was his own decision to avenge Oden, and he would not drag his friends into trouble. Even if they were his companions on the Red Firth, Shanks would not require them to go with him.
Maybe this is why Shanks can become best friends with Mihawk.
"Your Excellency Joracol Mihawk, please stay!"
"What?" Mihawk's sharp eyes were directed at Profic, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of Hei Daoye's sword, as if he was about to attack if he disagreed with him, "You want to test whether my sword is sharp?" ?"
Mihawk has been in a very irritable mood recently. As he gradually became famous in this sea and attracted more attention, the reward money also increased. This brought him a lot of trouble. Mihawk himself was most afraid of trouble. The reason why he traveled to sea alone was not only to hone his sword skills and pursue the peak, but also an important reason was that going to sea alone could save a lot of trouble.
But now, bounty hunters are eyeing his bounty, pirates want to use his head to become famous, and the navy wants to capture him and revive him. On average, they encounter one or two waves of enemies targeting him every day.
Because he solved many troublesome opponents, he even earned the title of "Naval Hunter", which looked very dangerous and evil.
Everyone is afraid of his sharpness and power. When they see him, they are either afraid to avoid him, or they rush towards him like crazy when they see a walking gold and silver treasure. But no one knew that he actually just wanted to enjoy a quiet time.
At first, he occasionally provided some explanations. Later, he no longer bothered to explain. If someone came to cause trouble, all he had to do was chop them over. The faster he chopped, the more free time he would have. Moreover, although most enemies are not qualified to take him seriously, it is still possible to practice a little swordsmanship in the process.
In this way, Mihawk gradually transformed from a single swordsman traveling around the world to a famous pirate. Fortunately, what he pursues from beginning to end is the supreme swordsmanship, and he doesn't really care whether he is a pirate or a bandit.
"No, I just want to invite you to join the 'King Shichibukai' on behalf of the World Government and the 'Five Old Stars'."
"Not interested in……"
Perhaps because he didn't want to get into trouble for killing a Shichibukai, Mihawk didn't take action, but instead gave an unprecedented response.
"I know that you have been troubled by the pursuit of the navy and the coveting of bounty hunters. However, after joining the Shichibukai, the original bounty will be revoked, and you will no longer have to worry about getting into trouble. Moreover, it is also convenient. You travel around the world..."
Profik didn't use his Devil Fruit ability to peer into Mihawk's heart, but he knew what Mihawk needed.
After all, in the original timeline, Mihawk also became King Shichibukai. After he became a Shichibukai, he was not as ambitious as Sand Crocodile and Brother Ming. Instead, he found an uninhabited island and lived a semi-reclusive life. He even farmed the land himself.
One day when I have some understanding of the way of swordsmanship, I will go out to sea to find masters from all over the world to compete with each other. When I am interested, I can even have a drink with my friends like Shanks.
If you're in a bad mood, you'll chop down a few passing pirate ships to add to the fun. If you're in a good mood, you can let them go.
In general, after becoming the King of the Seven Warlords, Mihawk experienced a free and casual life.
Of course, the World Government's recognition of Mihawk as the Shichibukai is not a loss-making deal. Taking into account the performance of several Shichibukai, although Hawkeye's "contribution" to the World Government may not be the greatest, the "harm" caused is actually the least. After all, he is not an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army, nor is he cutting out the shadows of innocent people and stuffing them into zombies.
After the title of King Shichibukai was deprived, he was one of the founders and established the Cross Union. His original intention was not to compete for supremacy on the sea, but to be able to rely on a big force and avoid a lot of trouble.
Profik firmly believed that as long as the "benefits" of joining the Seven Warlords were explained clearly, Mihawk's joining would be a matter of course. Moreover, inviting Mihawk to become a Shichibukai would also be beneficial to Profik's plan.
On the one hand, compared to guys like Doflamenco or Blackbeard, it is much safer to have Mihawk as a colleague. At least you don’t have to worry about him forming his own force with the help of Shichibukai’s identity, which will affect Profik’s future. obstacles to plans.
On the other hand, as colleagues, there will naturally be more opportunities for communication in the future, and we can also take the opportunity to invite Hawkeye to our own territory... If we break up with the World Government one day, we might be able to rely on Hawkeye's power. .
As expected, Mihawk's steps paused slightly, and his expression also changed subtly. Obviously, he was moved.
However, Mihawk is a tsundere, and of course he cannot admit that he was persuaded by Profik so readily.
He put away the black knife Ye, maintained a cold attitude, and said calmly:
"I'll think about it carefully."
"I have written down the basic rights and obligations of the Shichibukai here. As for your other requirements, you can discuss them in detail with the World Government... When you have thought about it, use this to contact the Five Old Stars!" Ke handed a special phone bug and a document to Mihawk. Ordinarily, this phone bug can only be owned by becoming the official King Shichibukai. But it doesn't matter, Mihawk is destined to join anyway, so giving it in advance is not a big deal.
"Long-winded!"
Hawkeye cursed, but took what Profic handed over very naturally.
