A dull and emotionless female mechanical voice sounded above the Cake Island harbor. When the new sailors heard the name of Yixiao coming out of the monster's mouth, everyone's face was filled with surprise and shock.
"Hmm?"
Even Yixiao himself couldn't help but utter a low murmur when he heard the other party calling his name, and the action of drawing his sword paused.
Yixiao, who was guarding Cake Island, had already noticed something unusual on the harbor the moment the mechanical sea beast appeared. Using the power of the heavy fruit, Yixiao had crossed most of the island and arrived at the harbor in just a dozen seconds.
Faced with this huge unknown creature, Yixiao was actually ready for battle.
What he didn't expect was that at this moment he actually heard his own name from the mouth of the mechanical sea beast.
"Is it an enemy? Or..."
Yixiao slowly stood up straight. Although the alert look on his face had not faded, the long sword had been sheathed.
Following Yixiao's question, the eyes of all the new navy on the coast were focused on this mechanical sea beast.
Under the gaze of everyone, the mechanical sea beast slowly opened its mouth. Perhaps because of the difference in air pressure inside and outside the mechanical sea beast's body, a fishy wind blew up on the coast the moment Lord Lantern opened his mouth.
“It stinks!”
"What's that smell?"
The fishy smell of the sea and the smell of rotting fish and algae blended together to form a unique smell. This smell forced everyone on the shore to cover their mouths and noses. The strong smell even overwhelmed the unique fragrance on the Cake Island.
The female mechanical voice did not appear again. Instead, after Lantern-sama opened his mouth, a dull whistling sound came from his throat.
The moment he heard this voice, Yixiao's expression changed slightly.
Just a few seconds later, a black shadow flew out from Mr. Lantern's mouth and shot directly towards Yixiao who was standing at the front of the team.
Without any hesitation, Yixiao raised the cane in his hand and directly pulled out half of the blade from the scabbard.
"clang!!!!"
The next moment, a clear golden sound was heard on the coast, and a strong gust of wind quickly spread in all directions along with the golden sound, making it impossible for ordinary sailors to open their eyes.
“Who is it?!”
He smiled and lowered his head slightly, feeling the powerful force coming from the blade, and asked in a deep voice.
However, what answered him was an even more powerful slash that swept directly towards Yixiao's waist.
"boom!!"
The moment the green slash shot towards Yixiao, Yixiao didn't say anything and directly used the power of the devil fruit.
The terrifying gravity field spread out around Yixiao. In order not to affect the ordinary navy, the powerful gravity field only covered an area of several meters centered on the school.
But the strength of gravity does not decrease simply because the area it covers is small.
The moment the slash entered the gravity field, it was directly deviated from its direction by the terrifying gravity and fell diagonally downwards towards the ground in front of Yixiao.
The moment the slash touched the ground, it did not cause any big noise. It sank into the earth's crust almost silently, leaving only a long blade.
The force of the slash was extremely concentrated. There was no doubt that the one who attacked Yixiao was a powerful swordsman.
During the brief exchange between Yixiao and the enemy, the strong wind that swept across the harbor quickly weakened. The new sailors opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the battle. They saw a handsome white-haired young man holding a broadsword standing on the ground a few meters in front of Yixiao.
The boy was clearly wearing a formal suit, but the collar of his shirt was open, giving him a wild and unrestrained look that was not suitable for his age.
Those eyes were pale yellow hawk eyes, and his face shape was 99% similar to Mihawk's.
Behind the boy, there is a pair of small black devil wings, which makes him even more mysterious.
"Who is this guy?"
"What the hell is going on?!"
The new marines were all a little surprised when they saw the white-haired boy who looked 90% like Mihawk. They all had a vague feeling that this man in front of them might have a very close connection with Mihawk.
Although Yixiao couldn't see the boy's face clearly, he felt a familiar smell from the other party's slash.
Hearing the exclamations from the people around him, Yixiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt on his face.
"Mr. Yixiao. The man you're fighting is Mr. Mihawk's son!"
No one knew which new navy officer came to such a conclusion, but his words were quickly recognized by the people around him and drew waves of responses.
Upon hearing this, Yixiao's breathing stopped, and he was obviously shocked.
He had worked with Mihawk for such a long time, but this was the first time he heard that Mihawk had a child. However, Yixiao was full of trust in his subordinates, and he didn't think these new navy officers would slander Mihawk for no reason.
And after being reminded by his subordinates, Yixiao came to his senses. He finally knew where the familiar feeling he had just felt from the slash came from. The feeling of that slash was exactly the same as the feeling Mihawk gave him.
There are only a few top experts in the entire new navy.
A fighting maniac like Mihawk naturally often looks for others to practice with. Yixiao and Mihawk have been practicing against each other for an unknown period of time and are very familiar with each other.
After careful consideration, Yixiao indeed discovered that this enemy that suddenly appeared was very similar to Mihawk.
If there is any difference, it is that the attack strength of the young man in front of him is far behind Mihawk's.
But the aura of that attack was exactly the same as Mihawk's.
"Is he really Mihawk's son?!"
"But if he's Mihawk's son, why haven't I ever heard of it?"
"Is he an illegitimate child? Did he come to Wanguo to find his father?"
"Well, how is this possible?"
Regarding the gossip about Mihawk, Yixiao couldn't help but mutter and speculate. He really couldn't imagine that someone as cold as Mihawk could have an illegitimate child.
However, the enemy did not give him much chance to think. After Xiaomi Hawk stood still, he seemed to have received some instructions. A golden flame suddenly ignited between the wings behind him. The next moment after the golden flame was released, Xiaomi Hawk's figure turned into an afterimage and shot towards Yixiao rapidly.
Facing Xiaomihawk's attack, Yixiao quickly removed the gravity field around him. He was afraid that his powerful devil fruit ability would hurt the other party.
If the child who attacked him was really Mihawk's son, then as Mihawk's best friend, he naturally could not hurt the other party.
The long sword in his hand was quickly pulled out of the shell. With a smile, he retreated while raising the sword to block. In the blink of an eye, he put himself in a weak position and only defended without actively counterattacking.
Xiaomi Hawk swung the black knife in his hand wildly. In just a few breaths, his body was covered by a wave of knife shadows. The terrifying attack poured down towards Yixiao. Unlike Yixiao's mercy, Xiaomi Hawk's attacks were aimed at Yixiao's vital points.
The fierceness of the offensive also forced the surrounding navy to retreat quickly, for fear of being affected by Xiaomihawk's attack.
Yixiao held the knife in his backhand and blocked the attack while backing away. Although it was a defensive posture, Yixiao's relaxed posture indirectly explained the difference in strength between the two.
Even without using the power of the devil fruit, Yixiao's ability is far superior to that of his opponent.
Xiaomi Hawk's attack seemed fierce, but it had no effect on Yixiao at all.
"Are you Mihawk's son? Did you come to Bankoku to find him?"
"Stop it now, I am his comrade-in-arms and can take you to find your father."
Yixiao blocked the enemy's attack while persuading him to stop.
However, Xiaomi Hawk simply turned a deaf ear to him, and his offensive did not weaken at all because of Yixiao's words.
The new navy members who were watching the battle on the side also came to their senses. Some clever guys took out their Den Den Mushi and started contacting their superiors, hoping that their superiors could contact Mihawk and let him deal with his son personally.
The sense of urgency that originally hung over the harbor had actually dissipated a lot due to the preconceived notions of the new navy.
In an office.
Ji Guoyuan was standing at the window sill, looking towards the harbor.
He had already seen what happened at the harbor. The moment Tsugikoku Yoshiichi saw Lord Lantern, he knew the other party's identity, and he had also vaguely guessed the identity of the white-haired Xiaomi Hawk.
Vegapunk has probably completely completed the transformation of Lantern Lord. Not only that, he has also successfully completed the artificial human project and created a humanoid pacifist like Millet Hawk.
S-Mihawk, who is based on Mihawk's model, has a combat capability that has surpassed many vice admirals of the navy.
Even across this vast ocean, pirates with bounties under 1 billion probably wouldn't be able to escape from such a super weapon.
At this moment, Mihawk at the headquarters had obviously received a report from his subordinates. When he heard that his son appeared in Wano Country, Mihawk was also confused.
However, he had obviously already felt the powerful and domineering aura coming from the direction of the harbor. Without any hesitation, Mihawk quickly rushed towards the harbor.
"call out--"
Just as Mihawk was rushing towards the harbor, a low whistle came from Lantern-sama's mouth again.
"No way?"
This sound instantly attracted the attention of all the navy, and people's eyes shifted away from the battle between Yixiao and Xiaomihawk, and looked towards the open mouth of Lord Lantern.
Under the gaze of everyone, two black shadows shot out from the dark mouth at a high speed, one on the left and one on the right, and went directly to double-team Yixiao who was not far away.
The speed of these two black shadows was slightly slower than that of Xiaomi Hawk before, and the navy officers could see the faces of the newcomers clearly.
He also has white hair and a pair of black devil wings on his back.
What surprised everyone was that the appearance of the two new people looked extremely familiar to everyone.
"No way? These two are the sons of Vice Admiral Kuma and Vice Admiral Abel???"
A series of low cries were heard in the harbor, and these sounds reached Yixiao's ears, causing his face to change.
The son of Bear and the son of Abel?!
How is it possible that all of his companions have illegitimate children?
Yixiao had also sensed that something was wrong. When he felt the two auras approaching rapidly, he quickly took countermeasures.
After casually blocking Xiaomi Hawk's attack with a knife, Yixiao lowered his center of gravity and swung his knife forward.
"Tiger!!"
The gravity with a clear direction swept directly towards S-Mihawk, S-Kuma and S-Abel.
Xiong and Abel, who were rushing towards Yixiao, also stopped quickly and raised their arms to block in front of themselves almost at the same time. Xiaomihawk's figure also appeared in front of the two of them at the first time, and quickly swung forward with a slash, weakening the force of the gravity field.
Under the terrifying gravity attack, three figures flew back together. In just a blink of an eye, they had retreated dozens of meters and hovered in the air above the sea.
"Can you still fly?"
The young men of the new navy were also shocked when they saw this scene. When things had developed to this point, everyone had sensed something was wrong.
The identities of the people in front of them may be very different from what they imagined.
These people are not the illegitimate children of the leaders
Perhaps it is a humanoid weapon created by an unknown enemy.
Yixiao also had the same guess. He naturally understood that the enemies who attacked him could not be the sons of his companions.
Because of this, Yixiao's face became extremely ugly at this moment.
Just when the situation reached a stalemate.
Mihawk's figure quickly appeared on the battlefield. He appeared on the battlefield with a big sword in his hand. The moment he saw the enemy, a look of shock appeared on his face.
As his eyes swept over the three children, Mihawk's expression became extremely ugly.
clone? !
Mihawk was a man of great experience, and at this moment this thought flashed through his mind.
Just when everyone's attention was focused on the three children, an extremely powerful domineering aura suddenly emerged from Lantern-sama's open mouth.
The terrifying aura instantly formed a hurricane and swept towards the people on the coast.
This breath made Yixiao and Mihawk feel extremely familiar. Yixiao, who had been able to remain calm, couldn't help but roll his blind eyes and reveal two wisps of white after feeling this breath.
“Could it be…”
Yixiao's heart sank to the bottom, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
