Pirate Gou to the General

Mihawk?

The world's number one swordsman?

William was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant.

To challenge this man, you still have to go through Mihawk?

Seemingly sensing William's doubts, Clow raised his head and said, "Are you a swordsman? If you have a sword on your waist, you are a swordsman."

"I am now the world's greatest swordsman. That idiot Mihawk was demoted, and he is now the second best."

"Mihawk and I are different. He can accept any challenge. I can't. If you want to challenge me, you must defeat Mihawk first. Only by defeating him can you be qualified to challenge me."

Hearing this, William's pupils shrank and he exclaimed in shock: "The world's greatest swordsman?! You?!"

"What? I don't deserve it?" Kuro's eyes widened.

"No, I'm just a little surprised...Have your swordsmanship reached this level? I thought it was a bit far away. Sure enough, my previous feeling was right. You have been too strong since you were a child."

William pursed his lips, thought of the past, and sighed again.

Kuro waved his hand, "What's the use of looking back at the past? Looking forward to the future, kid, once the contract is signed, you will be the new Shichibukai. Okay, this is the Navy Headquarters, not the Pirates Headquarters. You are not suitable to stay here any longer. Go back to your course."

"I don't want to stay long either."

William turned and left.

Why would he want to stay longer in the navy? He would leave if he could. Anyway, his goal was achieved.

But as soon as he left the office and walked to the door of the largest building, William was suddenly stunned. He seemed to have forgotten something.

His bounty... is still [-] million.

Now that I have become a Shichibukai, shouldn’t I be a little longer?

"Forget it, the navy will take care of this kind of thing. I have killed so many people. My bounty should be increased before the announcement comes out."

William shook his head and continued walking forward, mainly because he was too lazy to stay here and always felt depressed.

William, the 'White Admiral', officially became the Shichibukai and took charge of a route.

The news spread throughout the world via newsbirds within a few days.

"This kid..."

In the palace in the middle of the island that is half desert and half green forest, Crocodile looked at the freshly baked newspapers, his face became gloomy, and he was biting his cigar and looking uneasy.

The boy who challenged him actually became a Shichibukai?

"I knew that it didn't matter that Clow was an enemy. After all, he was from the East China Sea!" Crocodile said through gritted teeth and put the newspaper aside.

Daz Bones on the side said lightly, "There are recent rumors that the man Hawkeye personally admitted that he lost to Lucilu Kuro. The position of the world's greatest swordsman is now his."

"Hmph, do you think it's true or false?" Crocodile looked at Daz Bones.

The latter was silent and unable to make a decision.

Crocodile smiled and said: "Let me tell you, this answer is true, because that man Kuro is indeed ridiculously strong. I have also been in contact with Hawkeye, and he is not a man who can lie."

"When I was dealing with Barrett before, I knew that he and Mihawk would have a fight, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

"The greatest swordsman in the world..." Daz Bonis crossed his arms, his eyes still cold, but there seemed to be more yearning and expectation in his eyes.

Although he is an ability user, he is also a 'swordsman' himself, and he also wants that position.

But I didn't expect it to be changed hands now.

"But why is there no large-scale news coming out? Does Hawkeye want to hide it? No, he is not that kind of person." Daz Bones couldn't understand this.

Although he had only met Hawkeye a few times and fought against him only once, and was wounded by a sword from him during a battle, he knew that Hawkeye had the courage of the world's greatest swordsman, and he was not that kind of person.

"It's not Mihawk who's hiding it, it's the Navy."

Crocodile narrowed his eyes, looking like he was grasping the pearls of wisdom, and said: "The navy has made big moves, there must be some. This news is hidden, and that is the matter of the man Lucilu Kulo. The recent news, there is Akainu, Fujitora, Green Bull, but not Kizaru. Whenever these generals are dispatched, it is news level, and they are reported afterwards. Even the lieutenant general will report it, but Kizaru is rare. If there has been no action for several months, there must be something wrong.”

Once upon a time, news would come out when Garp climbed over the Upside Down Mountain. As soon as those veteran lieutenant generals were dispatched, news would follow, let alone the generals. Whatever they did was news.

As someone who has always paid attention to the news and looked for information from the news, whether it was news about pirates, the navy, or the revolutionary army, he would carefully observe it.

But what is abnormal is that Kizaru is the only one in the navy who has not moved.

As his right-hand man, Kuro, who is already considered world-famous, has also been strange in his recent actions. Even Blackbeard's battle did not receive a lot of news, which is a bit strange.

As for Wano Country's itinerary, he had done a lot of research and combined with 'rumors' to determine that Kuro had gone there and had a conflict with Kaido and Charlotte Lingling.

Now the world's greatest swordsman has been directly concealed.

What is the Navy going to do?Ban the entire Kizaru faction?

No, this is impossible, the navy is not that stupid, they are two important combat forces.

"The current situation... I still see Kuro occasionally, but judging from the news, it gives people the feeling that only a little bit is shown, and there is a storm behind it. It seems that there is some big news, but Kizaru But the whole thing has disappeared over there, maybe..."

Crocodile thought of something, his pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't that guy going to be promoted to general?!"

"general?"

Daz Bonis was also a little moved, "Is it Lucilu Kuro? He is a general, and with his personality...is he another Akainu?"

"No, it's not just that."

Crocodile shook his head and said: "He is different from Akainu. He is much more cunning than Akainu. If he is promoted to general, the policy towards pirates will definitely change. It is no longer him personally, but three points of the navy." Everything will change, and the survival situation of pirates will be further reduced."

With the Shichibukai in his hands, he now has to charge towards the new world. Although Crocodile doesn't care, this is indeed different from before. In Crocodile's view, this itself is Kuro's strategy.

The number of pirates in the first half of the Grand Line was greatly reduced, and it also forced these combat forces to go to the new world to fight with the pirates. This is just to command seven people, and he has this ability.

If he were promoted to general and had serious power, it would really be a cold winter for the pirates.
