"What is all this?"

Smoker sighed helplessly.

There's no way around it, the news that his subordinates have created for him is really big enough.

"Since you haven't been exposed, please continue to keep a close eye on Yamato...and that Straw Hat boy. By the way, send someone to escort Bucky the Clown back to me first and let me take care of him personally."

Smoker thought for a moment, gave the order to the navy team, and lit a cigar for himself. He needed to calm down.

"And this guy Kuzan, will he answer the phone or not? Bastard!"

Smoker roared angrily with the surrounding clouds and mist. Even a cigar could not calm him down now. The bastard Kuzan promised to come over in person to arrest Yamato and others, but he waited until Yamato and others arrived.

Kuzan disappeared.

"If you don't come again, then I will have to do it myself."

After thinking for a while, Smoker finally made up his mind. He would wait for Kuzan for another two hours. If Kuzan didn't answer his call, he would take action himself. Even if he couldn't stop Yamato from going to sea, he would still kill the super

The newcomer Straw Hat Luffy was stopped.

A very hidden tavern in Rogge Town.

"Dingling bells Lingling..."

“Welcome~”

The boss, who was wiping the cup in his hand, subconsciously raised his head and said welcome when he heard the doorbell ringing at the door.

"Hey! You are..."

Then he saw a man wearing a black trench coat, carrying a huge black knife on his back, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle in the sky. The man who came was none other than the world's greatest swordsman, Joracol Mihawk.

"It's been a long time! It's been more than twenty years."

Mihawk seemed to be very familiar with this tavern. He first gently placed the black knife behind him at the door, then sat at the bar, took off the hat on his head and greeted the owner of the tavern.

"More than twenty years ago, the young people who came here to drink on the day Roger was executed have now become important people that I need to look up to!"

The tavern owner looked at Mihawk and smiled, then he selected a bottle of fine red wine from the wine cabinet behind the bar and poured it for Mihawk.

"Hmph... time flies so fast!"

Mihawk recalled that he had traveled thousands of miles to come to Rogge Town and witnessed Roger's execution with his own eyes, and smiled softly. Speaking of which, he was also the one who witnessed the opening of the Great Pirate Era, but he didn't know if he was lucky or not.

We can see the end of this era and the rise of a new era. Maybe... the woman he assists, Yamato, will not only be called the new Pirate King, but she may also become the end of the era.

"To be honest, when you guys came to Rogge Town, I didn't like any of them..."

The tavern owner looked at Mihawk in front of him, as if he had gone back to the days when he and Roger were drinking together decades ago. Roger's death was the pain of his life.

"Hahaha... Facts have proved that your view is correct. Those of us who have witnessed the beginning of the era, but none of us have the courage to become the Pirate King. We can only watch the rush of the new era and countless latter chasing us.

and even the figure of transcendence.”

Mihawk smiled softly after listening to the tavern owner's words.

"Beyond? Who can surpass you? The famous world's greatest swordsman, Joracol Mihawk? I heard that you quit the King's Shichibukai? Why do you plan not to be a pirate?"

The tavern owner curled his lips speechlessly after hearing Mihawk's words. What nonsense is transcendence? It's more like crushing the dreams of countless swordsmen.

"No! It's true that I quit the Shichibukai, but that didn't stop me from being a pirate. I have now officially joined the Yamato Pirates."

Mihawk shook his head slightly at the hotel owner in front of him.

"A man like you actually chose to join a pirate group? This really surprises me."

The tavern owner's expression changed after hearing Mihawk's words.

"Well... the best pirate group in the world, maybe it won't be long before you can see the news of the new Pirate King being crowned in the newspaper."

Mihawk said as he took out a few banknotes from his wallet and put them under the empty wine glass.

"Bye now……"

Mihawk picked up his hat and put it on, waved his hand to the tavern owner, put the black knife on his back and walked away.

"Hiss~"

"call……"

After Mihawk left, the tavern owner gently lit a cigarette and smoked it gently. He still regretted not being able to go to sea with Roger.

Time passed very quickly, two hours flew by.

"asshole……"

Smoker decided to make the last call himself. If Kuzan didn't answer the call, he decided to take action himself.

"Bulu Bulu..."

"Click~"

"Hello~ It's me, Kuzan."

After a series of ringtones, the other party finally answered the call.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Smoker wiped the anxious sweat on his forehead and asked Kuzan loudly.

"Alas...am I busy? I...will be arriving in Rogge Town soon, don't be anxious~"

Kuzan's lazy voice came from the phone in Smoker's hand, and Smoker felt a surge of anger.

"Asshole! If you don't come here, Yamato and the others will run away."

Smoker suppressed his anger and tried not to scold Kuzan, a cheating teammate.

"Smog, you have to believe me! I'm really going to arrive soon. I will freeze the entire pier with ice in a while. Now you have all the navy guarding the pier to go back to protect the townspeople and prepare to evacuate the town."

People’s preparation.”

At this time, Kuzan also changed from his previous laziness and said to Smoker very seriously.

"Um?!"

"Okay! Just do as you say."
