One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 690 I will definitely see the sunrise many more times.

"Ah! I've lost! In the end, you'll go further down this path."

Despite saying that, Shanks still smiled broadly.

There wasn't a trace of gloom.

It's hard to believe that someone as optimistic and open-minded as him would be a pirate.

Clearly, someone like him would be better suited to do something else.

You're still the same as always!

Hawkeye remained indifferent to Shanks' nonchalant attitude.

I can't feel happy.

Even though the duel had a result, he still lacked a sense of accomplishment.

Sure enough, he still found it difficult to consider Shanks a worthy opponent.

Because when Shanks looked at him, he had no desire to defeat him.

He truly considered him a friend.

However, at the same time, the sharp edge of swordsmen's duels is gone.

Pity!

Mihawk shook his head.

At this point, the Black Dragon is actually better.

Her hostility and her sharpness made her a more suitable opponent.

However, he has already made one thing certain.

Shanks's will remains unbreakable.

Once he's made up his mind, no one can dissuade him.

In the world of swordsmen, the clash of swords speaks louder than words.

Shanks has already provided the answer through his actions.

His sword remained as sharp as ever.

Indestructible.

This is also a manifestation of his will.

He will still go to see the Black Dragon.

Even if it leads him into a trap, he has no regrets.

Even if he pays the price, he will still do as he pleases.

A stubborn guy.

They knew it was dangerous.

Although it is difficult to understand.

But that's Shanks for you.

He doesn't follow the usual path.

But before Mihawk could speak, Shanks spoke first.

"Your knife is ready, isn't it?"

That's right.

Shanks could sense it.

Mihawk is nearing completion.

Black swordsman.

This name hasn't appeared for hundreds of years.

But now, in this era, the Black Knife has resurfaced.

This is no coincidence.

Fate had already arranged everything.

This era is destined to be extraordinary.

New life and destruction will inevitably occur together.

Joy Boy will return in this era.

Even if it were a black dragon, it wouldn't be so easy for her to stop it.

A new era is bound to arrive.

What he needs to do is to spare no effort to advance this era.

That should be the case.

"Still so bland, you don't look happy at all."

"After all, even with this, it's difficult to gain the upper hand against her."

She was referring, of course, to the Black Dragon.

Mihawk had already figured it out.

The absolute dividing line is strength and weakness.

Weak is weak.

A halo effect cannot erase the gap.

Ultimately, their duel was all about individual moves and techniques.

Black Dragon was completely unafraid of Black Blade.

Compared to the power of the Black Blade itself, Black Dragon only cared about the Black Blade's reputation.

That's why she took advantage of him.

"Besides, some people are willing to do stupid things... Shanks, she's strong, unlike me. If she wanted to kill you, you really would die."

"Hahaha! It's okay for pirates to do stupid things, right?"

Shanks was still laughing heartily.

The person Mihawk was referring to was him.

He wasn't unaware.

But it was precisely because he knew everything that he had no choice but to do it.

Mihawk's words were also subtly telling him something.

Even with the Black Blade in hand, Mihawk cannot guarantee a complete victory over the Black Dragon.

This is indeed very troublesome.

That woman is a monster.

And he's a shrewd guy.

But Shanks is Shanks.

He quickly revealed his positive and optimistic side.

"But can I take that as you're worried I'll die?"

Mihawk: "..."

Mihawk remained silent in response.

He was originally a cold and aloof person.

Even when facing Shanks, he couldn't express any concern.

"You're not that easy to die."

In the end, Mihawk simply uttered those words lightly.

But enough.

Shanks has received Mihawk's blessing.

That's right.

He won't die.

He will surely see this new era.

Therefore, he will continue to move forward.

The sunlight before him was still so bright; he would surely see it many more times in his life.
