Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

"clang!"

"Ding!"

"Qiang!"

On the vast ice field, the blades of Mihawk and Mary were constantly clashing.

Mary's figure is amazingly fast. Even without the help of blood, even if she closes the inherent barrier, relying only on her own speed and instinct, Mary can now fight Mihawk.

Two sharp blades, one black and one white, intertwined and stabbed each other, while Mihawk fought very calmly. He used a thick black knife as light as a feather, blocking Mary's attack without a trace. .

In the distance, Aokiji and Shanks stood side by side. There seemed to be no hatred between a marine and a pirate, maintaining a delicate sense of balance.

A few kilometers away, the two of them could hardly hear the movement over there without deliberately releasing their emotions, and could only watch the battle in the distance with their eyes.

"That kid, it's quite a headache even for you, isn't it?"

Shanks said while touching the hilt of his sword.

Qing Zhi scratched his head, sat down slowly, and said with a rather tired expression:

"Ah, her unexpected behavior... may be a shock to the pirates, but it may not be a surprise to us."

"But what can I say? With such fresh blood, I feel it is a good thing for the Navy."

"Yes, before this I never thought that the navy and Sengoku could be so courageous."

Shanks said solemnly: "Taking action against all pirates, pacifying the Four Seas and the first half of the Great Route, and destroying the power of the Shichibukai. If such a thing had happened in the past, even if the Warring States Period proposed it, other naval decision-makers, especially the Five Old Stars, would A few guys won’t agree, right?”

"But now not only do I agree, I even do it... It's really an exaggeration, it's too exaggerated."

"If possible, I really don't want to be her enemy."

"She only targets pirates. If you put down your identity as a pirate now, maybe it can end."

Aoki said with a smile.

Shanks narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly:

"Only for pirates?...No, that's not the case."

"Qing Pheasant, you are looking too lightly."

"oh?"

Qingzhi raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Shanks.

And Shanks' gaze became deeper and deeper.

"Pull down Alabasta, weed the Shampoo fields, burn Walpo, and slay Katakuri in formation."

"A war on top...a ​​battle with Wano..."

"She is not here for the pirates, or rather, she is not here for the pirates at all."

After saying that, Shanks turned to look at Aoki:

"Otherwise, how could she have cooperated with the Straw Hat Pirates in the first place, and why would she have agreed to let the two of us go?"

"She is not the second Akainu. She is strong and cruel, but not ruthless."

"Huh? Wouldn't that be better for you?" Qingzhi raised his eyebrows, "In this case, there should be room for negotiation between you. And since you have said so, you must also know how to talk to Mary. ...to communicate, right?”

"No, I'm afraid there is no room for peace between me and her."

Without thinking, Shanks said decisively.

"Huh? Why?"

Aokiji frowned slightly.

Shanks' face was heavy, his gloomy eyes moved upward, and he slowly looked towards the sky.

"..."

"If my guess is right..."

"I'm afraid that kid's ultimate goal is..."

"Do you ultimately want to overthrow the world government?"

Mihawk said expressionlessly while taking Mary's sword.

"Oh? Is it so obvious?"

Mary smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, she turned her body and slashed two sharp blades from the sides of the black knife, stabbing Mihawk.

"Qiang!"

Mihawk blocked it with a horizontal knife.

"Anyone who can have an overview of the situation in the sea can see your tendency."

"No matter what you do or what you say, in addition to targeting pirates, they are basically targeting the World Government."

"Although I don't know why you, as a marine, would target the World Government, but now that the pirate power has been basically pacified, your next step should be to start destroying the World Government, right?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"sieve!"

After saying that, Mihawk shook the blade violently and shot Mary away.

But there was a flash of blood in the air, and Mary appeared behind Mihawk, her body lowered.

Then, he slashed at Mihawk with a sword.

"You can see that I'm targeting the World Government. Don't you know why I'm targeting it?"

"It's really a limitation of the times."

Mihawk skillfully turned around to block Mary. After hearing the meaning of Mary's lack of answer, he stopped going into details.

Then, he changed the question.

"You want to change the world and bring change to this era, don't you, Mary?"

"What you said...is not wrong."

Mary grinned.

The swords of the two changed again at high speed, and fierce sparks broke out during the confrontation.

"So Mary, let me ask you, in the era of change, how do you want to change?"

"How do you want to change?"

"Only when you realize that the world has shortcomings and needs a breakthrough, change is needed. Is this necessary for this world?"

"Is this era...requiring a change that overthrows the world government?"

"Even though you are a pirate, you don't seem to care about the death of pirates."

Mary deflected the knife that Mihawk slashed at her shoulder, and then sent a sword forward, hitting Mihawk's waist horizontally.

"Do you think the world government should exist? Doesn't it need to be destroyed now?"

"I don't know, but I know very well that the World Government has ruled the world for eight hundred years. It still exists and may always exist."

"How can you easily crush eight hundred years of history by yourself?"

Mihawk suppressed Mary's double blades.

"Who said I was alone?"

Mary said viciously, then quickly jumped up and stabbed Mihawk from the sky.

"But you always act alone."

"That's a loner, Hawkeye."

"like you."

The stabbing Mary was blown away by Mihawk's sword energy. She fell to the ground, looked up at Mihawk and said:

"You've always been a loner, don't you have a friend like Shanks?"

"..."

Mihawk was silent.

"The world government has existed for eight hundred years. This is history and cannot be denied."

"But even so, is it necessarily correct? Some people once said that the Four Emperors were the emperors of the sea, and their status was unshakable. There was also Rocks who claimed to be the overlord of the sea, and his team could be said to be unrivaled in the world at that time. "

"But they were all destroyed in history, but they also ruled an era, didn't they?"

"The World Government has only ruled for a little longer. Compared to the four emperors and Rocks who have been destroyed, what does it have to be awe-inspiring?"

"Then you think that a political system that can rule the world for eight hundred years and a king that can rule the world for eight hundred years are wrong?"

Mihawk asked in a deep voice.

"Eight-hundred-year-old king...so you know Yin Mu?" Mary said in surprise.

"I said ten years ago that I have some connection with the Celestial Dragons." Mihawk said without denying or affirming.

"I see……"

Mary shook her head and touched the two blades in her hands:

"Yin Mu can rule the world for eight hundred years. I can't comment on whether his ideas are correct or not."

"However, I am a Celestial Dragon, and I have traveled on the sea for more than half of my life."

"So I don't think... people are always right."

"At least Yin Mu is wrong now, that's all."

"You think he is wrong, do you mean you are right? Mary."

For some reason, Mihawk seemed to be very concerned about Mary's evaluation of Yin Mu.

Although Mary didn't know the reason, she still followed her heart and said:

"I said that people are not always right. But at least I can be sure that I am right now."

"After overthrowing the world government established by Yin Mu, can you establish a better government than it? Desert United?"

"Who knows? But just like I want to overthrow the World Government now, if the Desert United is reduced to what the World Government is today in the future, new people will overthrow it."

"But that will probably be a long time later. I hope I won't see this scene in my lifetime, otherwise I will be very sad."

Mary shrugged and laughed.

"Is it bound to be overthrown... Do you believe in fate, Mary?"

"Ah? No, I don't believe in fate. This is a rule." Mary waved her hand and said, "When there is oppression, there will be resistance, and this kind of resistance will always succeed. This is a rule, just like 1+1=2 Same pattern."

"Do you think you will succeed?"

"I never said that. But..."

Mary smiled with a melancholy expression: "I hope I can succeed, but if I can't succeed...there will be another person who will overthrow the world government. I know who that is, but I don't hope it is him."

"I don't want this to be chalked up to fate."

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Do you know who that is? Why do you know that? Or is that the heir you trained?"

"What does it mean to attribute everything to fate?"

Mihawk asked with a frown.

Mary didn't answer, just turned her head and looked into the distance behind her.

There, the red-haired and Aokiji were still exchanging something intensely.

Seeing this scene, Mihawk felt like he understood something.

"Since there is someone else who can overthrow the world government, why must it be you and not him?"

"Because I am different from him. He represents an unchanging destiny. And I... am a heretic."

"Heresy out of control."

After saying that, Mary turned back to Mihawk: "As Shanks' friend, you should know what Shanks has been doing over the years, right?"

"Yes, and now everything he did is slowly unraveling."

Mihawk said, slowly placing his black knife on his shoulder.

"Even so, if fate can make everything go to a good place, then there is no need for you to interfere, right?"

"No, it's necessary." Mary shook her head, "Will your so-called destiny really go in a good direction?"

"If that's the case, then why has no one been able to overthrow the world government until now?"

"Why can't anyone else do it? Mihawk?"

"I want everyone to understand that fate is not something to be feared. Whether it is you, Shanks, or those who have the ability to predict the future, I will let them understand that the future is by no means fixed."

"Everyone should make their own decisions, instead of being a slave to fate and gambling everything for an illusory future."

After saying that, Mary crossed her swords into a cross and slowly leaned down.

Mihawk also held the handle of the black knife with both hands and pressed his body down.

"You are a Celestial Dragon."

"It wasn't ten years ago. I betrayed you a long time ago."

"Why on earth are you doing this? What is the fundamental reason for overthrowing the world government? What does this mean to you?"

"If I insist..." The blood-red texture on Mary's body became brighter and brighter, "For [justice]."

"Boring answer, tell me your name, warrior."

"Mary Vinicius, or Livingstone Vinicius Palace!"

"Mary Vinicius, thank you for taking care of me!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As soon as the words fell, both sides broke out at an astonishing high speed.

Facing Mihawk's pitch-black blade, Mary faced it head-on without dodging.

She thrust the two knives in her hands forward, squeezing all the strength in her body to the extreme.

In less than a breath, the two figures passed each other.

With a crisp sound of swords clashing, Mary's abdomen was neatly opened.

Mihawk, on the other hand, was unscathed.

"you lose."

Mary did not speak. A large amount of blood quickly erupted from her body along the wound, forming a blood storm that enveloped Mihawk and Mary.

"Um!?"

Shanks and Aoki in the distance were both startled. They stopped arguing and looked at the battlefield, ready to take action at any time.

"...What, are you going to break your promise?"

Mihawk didn't panic in the slightest, and seemed to have been prepared for the response. He held the black knife in his hands and looked at Mary with a stern expression.

Mary's body wounds healed in the blink of an eye. She put her double blades back into their sheaths, straightened her clothes, and said in a relaxed tone:

"No, I admit that I lost, and I have no intention of breaking my promise."

"There are just some things I don't want others to see."

"They don't know what you said at this distance." Mihawk replied.

"No, I said you can't let them see it."

Mary raised her eyebrows, turned to look at Mihawk, and met those sharp eyes.

"Mr. Mihawk."

"Um?"

"In the fire ten years ago, that little girl had no hope of survival, but you saved her."

"Now, I want to make up for the ten-year late thank you."

"As a token of thanks from the Palace of Livingston Vinicius."

Mihawk looked indifferent to what Mary said.

Mary didn't care about it either. She just bowed very solemnly and said:

"He saved me at the stake,"

"Thank you very much, Mihawk-kun."

Then, she straightened up and said, "This way, it can be regarded as an end to my distant past."

"..."

Mary gave a relieved smile.

Mihawk, who had no reaction to Mary's words before, suddenly opened his eyes wide after seeing Mary's smile.

"..."

"..."

"Um?"

Looking at Mihawk, whose expression suddenly became stagnant, Mary frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"...No, I just feel it."

Mihawk's expression was quite complicated.

"You are still the same girl you were ten years ago, not someone else."

"……I guess so."

After Mary said this, she waved her hand and the blood storm dispersed.

"That's it. Now you and the red-haired man can go. I won't stop you."

After saying that, Mary opened the blood wings behind her and flew towards the Blue Pheasant.

Behind her, Mihawk put the black knife back into the leather sheath on his back.

"I didn't expect that in the end... I lost, Vinicius."

He looked to the sky.

"Maybe it's time to settle everything between you and me, Yin Mu."
