Chapter 260 The Legend of Dragon Slaying
Then, Profic began to fool Hawkeye again, and they went to Wano Country to deal with Kaido.
"Mihawk, you and Shanks are close friends. Your friends' matters are your own matters. Now Shanks is going to Wano Country to deal with Kaido and needs your help!"
Profik first licked his face, trying to make Shanks look bad, trying to get Mihawk to help. Not surprisingly, he was decisively rejected by Mihawk.
Shanks on the side looked very angry.
It's not like I'm not around, what do you mean?
Could it be that I don’t have a mouth and can’t speak?
Mihawk was not interested at all in being an enemy of a "Four Emperors". Although he is arrogant, he also knows that his strength is still far from being comparable to a guy like Kaido. What's more, Kaido uses a mace as a weapon, so such an opponent is quite unattractive to him.
Therefore, even though Profik had just provided him with a chance to get rid of the troubles in his life, he only felt that Profik was extremely noisy at this time.
The black sword Ye, who had finally put it back on his back, drew it out again. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had just invited him to join the "King's Seven Martial Arts", the black knife would probably have fallen on Profik's head.
"You are too noisy!"
However, Mihawk soon changed his attitude. He was attracted by the story told by Profik.
Profik tells the story of the "Dragon-Slaying Samurai" of Wano - Shigezuki Ryoma.
It is said that gold jewelry is everywhere in Wano, so Wano is also called the "Land of Gold". Countless wealth has attracted the covetousness of many greedy people. Countless pirates, adventurers, merchant ships, and travelers are rushing to Wano Country to find the legendary treasure. Even the nobles of the world at that time were attracted by such legends and wanted to use "force" to open the door to Wano.
Just when the country of Wano was in danger, Ryoma Shigetsuki, the greatest samurai of the country of Wano, appeared.
Ryoma is a descendant of the Shuoyue clan of Wano Country and the master of swordsmanship of the Shuoyue clan. He is known as the strongest samurai in Wano, and it is said that no enemy can stop his moves! In order to protect his motherland, this great warrior stood on the front line against the invasion of foreign enemies.
In that battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Even though the invaders had thousands of troops, they could not get past Shuangyue Longma. With one man and one sword, he firmly blocked all invaders from the country.
And his most popular story is "Slaying the Dragon". Among the enemies who invaded the country of Wano, there was one who could transform into a giant dragon, spitting flames from his mouth, stepping on auspicious clouds, flying in the clouds and riding the mist, which can be said to be omnipotent. He used his ability to fly to pass through Wano's outer defense line and unexpectedly appeared in the sky above the Flower Capital, the capital of Wano.
The entire Flower City was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.
At the critical moment, Ryoma appeared in time again, and a desperate fight between a warrior and an evil dragon was staged in the sky above the Flower Capital. In the end, the dragon fell, and the warrior became a great hero who single-handedly saved the country. Ryoma also earned the title of "Dragon-Slaying Samurai" and became the greatest samurai in the history of Wano.
Because of the existence of Hogetsu Ryoma, the country of Wano was preserved. The name of Hogetsu Ryuma spread throughout the world and became a symbol of an era. The saying that there were powerful samurai in Wano was widely spread.
After Ryoma's death, he was regarded as the "God of Swords" by Wano Country. Together with the famous sword "Akisui" he wore during his lifetime, it was regarded as a national treasure of Wano Country and enshrined in the ancestral hall of Wano Country.
Although hundreds of years have passed, the Dragon-Slaying Samurai and his story have been passed down from generation to generation in Wano. Relying on Ryoma's remaining power, pirates and even the world government are afraid of Wano's powerful force, so Wano can maintain peace for generations.
"How about it, Mihawk, do you want to challenge the legendary dragon-slaying warrior?"
"So? You want to use a story from hundreds of years ago to get me to go to Wano Country with you?"
It is rare that Hawkeye, who cherishes words like gold, is willing to say so many words, which shows that he is indeed "very angry". Profik told this story so vividly that he once thought that Ryoma was a character who existed in Wano Country today, and even made him have the urge to go to the Wano Congress to meet this figure.
As a result, at the end of the story, you told me that this great dragon-slaying warrior had been dead for hundreds of years? !
The Dragon-Slaying Samurai is indeed desirable. If he were still alive, Mihawk would definitely not mind going to Wano to seek advice in person. But the problem is that he is already dead. No matter how good a dead man's swordsmanship is, what's the point?
"Pfft, hahaha!" Yue Ximei laughed, "This is really an interesting story!"
"No, Ximei." Hua Yunqiong covered Yue Ximei's mouth, "How can you laugh so loudly?"
Mihawk's face almost turned green. Maybe Yue Ximei really just found Long Ma's story interesting, but to Mihawk's ears, it was tantamount to laughing at him for being attracted by a fabricated story. Hua Yunqiong's remedy made the situation even worse.
Mihawk's sharp eyes like an eagle were fixed on Profik, and he had to give an explanation.
"The focus is not on Ryoma himself, but on the 'samurai tradition' represented by Ryoma that has been passed down from generation to generation in Wano." Profik explained, "To this day, the people of Wano still respect and worship samurai. Desire to become a warrior. Moreover, there are indeed many powerful warriors there, even as powerful as you."
Profic's words are not much exaggeration. Compared with Hawkeye, who will become "the world's greatest swordsman" in the future, the samurai of Wano may not be enough. But now Mihawk is a fledgling at best, a newcomer who has just gained some fame but has not yet fully matured. For him at this stage, powerful warriors such as Shigezuki Yasuie and Ashura Doji of Wano are likely to be evenly matched, and at least they can give him some inspiration in swordsmanship.
The country of Wano has always been isolated, and its inheritance of swordsmanship has its own system. I don’t know if Mihawk in the original work has traveled to Wano Country. If not, maybe he can develop new sword moves in Wano Country.
"In addition to the samurai, Kaido, who occupies the country of Wano, also has a strong man with superb swordsmanship. That is the fire disaster 'Jin',"
Among the Beast Pirates currently occupying the country of Wano, the only strong man who mainly uses swords as weapons is Jhin. Moreover, his moves are very unique and he is a special race, making him the perfect opponent for swordsmen.
To a certain extent, Jhin is a pterosaur. A pterosaur should be considered a dragon, right?
Moreover, Kaido is also a dragon. If Mihawk wants to prove that his swordsmanship can rival Ryoma, it is very simple. Just kill Kaido or Jhin.
perfect!
