"Hehehehehe...Why, Kazan, you can't wait to become my strongest puppet?"
"Hey, Moria, do you still have the idea of turning me into a zombie?"
The first person Kazan approached was Moria, because this guy seemed to be in a hurry to leave, so Crocodile could give him a break first.
And now, Hancock has been following Kazan and seems to have no intention of leaving.
As for Jinbei, he had already left early. He didn't need the navy to send him back. He went back faster on his own and looked very anxious.
Fish-Man Island should be in a very tense state now. If Jinbei doesn't go back, the fish-people in Fish-Man Island Ryugu Castle alone will not be able to suppress them.
"Of course! You are the most perfect! Whether it is your body or your shadow, I will make it the most powerful zombie under my command! Hehehehehe!!!"
Moriah smiled so wildly that he even held his belly with one big hand.
"Moria."
"hold head high?"
"You are too weak."
"...Ha?! Do you think I'm still the same person as before!!!"
Swish.
Moria raised the big sword in his hand, and with an armed domineering attitude, he slashed straight at Kazan. His swordsmanship was rough and unorganized. It could be seen that Moonlight Moria's swordsmanship was far inferior to that of the one who challenged Kai.
Long term intensity.
Now, at best, he has returned to the level where he can be called a swordsman at level 4.
Bang.
Kazan raised the Dark Moon with one hand to block it. No matter how hard Moria tried, he could not make the Dark Moon in Kazan's hand move.
"Shadow Mage."
Moria's shadow quickly moved behind Kazan, then stood up from the ground, raised the shadow sword in his hand and slashed towards Kazan.
Swish.
Bang.
Kazan didn't even look at it. He grabbed the useless frame with his other hand and held it behind his back, blocking the knife from Moria's shadow.
At this moment, Kazan and Moria were in the square near the seaside. In the distance was a group of navy training, and there were countless warships on the coast looking at it.
The sudden fight between the two shocked everyone, and everyone went to summon their leading generals.
However, Kazan and Moria only touched each other briefly and did not make the conflict more intense.
But all of a sudden, the surrounding navy became nervous.
And just that scene just now.
Basically everyone can see that Kazan is better than Moria.
"Whether it's strength, dominance or swordsmanship, I'm stronger than you, and I say you're weak. Is there a problem?"
Kazan raised his head and glanced at Moria. If Moria's Shadow Fruit didn't make any progress, then Kazan wouldn't even need to activate his status to hit him.
"Tsk...you guy."
Moria's eyes flashed with excitement and unwillingness. He would never give up because of failure like he did before, but...
If you keep losing, your face will look very ugly!
"Hello."
"?"
"Stop hiding in your corner, go to the new world."
"ha?"
"I heard that after you were defeated by Kaido once, you didn't even dare to step into the new world. A coward like you wouldn't think that you could defeat me by just lingering in the 'Paradise', right?"
"...Who do you think is afraid to enter the new world?"
Moonlight Moria gritted his teeth and looked at Kazan. Apparently Kazan had touched his most shameful point and made him a little angry.
"I told you, you are afraid of Kaido."
"You put..."
"I will go to the new world. I have no interest in playing in this paradise for the weak. If you don't go to the new world, you will never have the chance to fight with me again in your life. You will always be worried about the defeat of your subordinates.
Live on with my reputation, and then watch me reach the top step by step in the new world."
"..."
Moonlight Moria's shadow returned to Moonlight Moria's body. He stared at Kazan quietly, the anger and unwillingness in his heart rising steadily.
The provocation method is an obvious and crude method, but for a flammable and explosive person like Moria, this method is the best.
"A guy like Kaido who is afraid of something like Kaido is not worthy of being my opponent. Just continue to hide in the park. Be careful not to be killed by a newcomer one day. Maybe you can become my after-dinner joke."
...If I still remember you as a loser by then."
"You are so arrogant, Kazan!"
"You will know later whether I am arrogant or not. Let me tell you directly. My first target is Kaido. I will crush the man who fucked you to pieces. You will huddle in the corner like a worm.
Just keep watching secretly."
Kazan turned around and left after receiving it. The moonlight Moria behind him looked at Kazan's back and said gloomily:
"Kaido is my goal."
"Are you worthy?"
This time, Kazan didn't even look back, his goal had been achieved.
Hancock looked back at Moriah. She could see that Kazan was motivating Moriah to go to the new world.
She didn't understand why Kazan valued Moria so much...
Yes, take it seriously.
Kazan does indeed value Moria very much, otherwise he would not deliberately use the provocation method to stimulate Moria.
Moria's potential is still very great, especially now that Moria is no longer that decadent guy.
A guy who has been able to go to Wano Country and even face Kaido directly, Kazan believes that he is already stronger than most pirates in the world.
If we let this kind of guy continue to stay in the paradise, wouldn't the new world lose a lot of fun?
"Kazan."
"Um?"
"Why stimulate that eggplant?"
"...because I want to make the new world more fun."
"that's all?"
"That's enough."
Kazan murmured twice, the new world... must be in chaos, whether it is for his own interests, his own ambitions, or...
their dreams.
After the matter on Moonlight Moria came to an end, Kazan no longer cared about what Moria thought, but walked straight towards Crocodile's location.
call out.
A sharp aura quickly came towards Kazan, and Kazan directly raised his hand and struck at him with an Earth Splitting Wave Slash.
The flying slash, which was equivalent to a lv.6 swordsmanship level, seemed a bit fragile under another green slash.
The green flying slash continued to fly towards Kazan after shattering Kazan's sword energy, but this time Kazan did not make another move.
Because the green sword energy dissipated automatically when it was about to reach Kazan.
The empress behind Kazan breathed a sigh of relief. She had no doubt that Kazan could block the blow, but she didn't expect that Kazan didn't take action at the last moment.
I thought I was going to be hit, but...
Hancock turned his head and looked at the figure that was slashing out sword energy. In Malinvando, there were not many people who could crush Kazan with sword energy, except for a few who had reached the level of 'Diamond Cutting'.
Except for Hao, basically no one can beat him.
But these navy will not suddenly attack Kazan for no reason.
Then, there is only one person left.
That is the world's greatest swordsman, Joracol Mihawk, who also came to Marinefando from the Shichibukai.
"Eagle Eye..."
Hancock saw Mihawk's face turn a little dark, obviously dissatisfied with his sudden attack on Kazan.
She thought the two were enemies.
But if it were an enemy, Hawkeye wouldn't be able to control his sword energy so steadily.
"As expected of you, Mihawk, your way of greeting is as unique as ever."
"Your swordsmanship has fallen behind."
"After all... I am a 'red dog', so I am destined to be unable to specialize in swordsmanship."
"..."
Mihawk looked at Kazan with a little loss in his eyes. First, Shanks broke his arm and his strength dropped significantly.
Later, Kazan officially embarked on the path of mainly strengthening blood energy, and swordsmanship became a auxiliary skill to guide blood energy.
Mihawk felt a little bored.
"That's why you can't awaken the domineering haki, Mihawk."
"...I'm not interested in those."
"Haha, the world's greatest swordsman is not interested in the world's number one. Really... do you know how many people are eager for this position?"
"I am not the world's greatest swordsman, and I am not interested in this position."
Mihawk does not have the domineering look of a king, and Kazan knows this very well.
As for whether he will awaken in the future, Kazan can't guess, but at least for now, it will definitely not happen.
Because Mihawk is different from others.
Everyone else is yearning to 'become a king', but he has always been 'seeking defeat', blindly pursuing the ultimate realm of swordsmanship. Whether this kind of ambition can awaken the domineering and domineering power of the king... It's hard to say.
"Have you been to Wano Country?"
"I haven't been there."
"Are you not interested in the Samurai City? I remember I told you about Wano Country before, right?"
"Yes, but it's more difficult to get there."
"..."
Kazan was confused, and suddenly thought of the weather in the new world and Mihawk's way of traveling, and then he understood.
"If you meet people from Umit Shipping or the Vinsmoke family in the future, ask them to buy a permanent pointer from Wano. You can even see if you can ask them to take you there directly. I will explain the situation to them.
.”
"Um."
Mihawk is not polite either. He knows that the Vinsmoke family and Umit Shipping can basically be regarded as the "Red Dog" forces of the Shichibukai.
"Aren't you curious why I admire Wano so much to you?"
"...Why?"
"Because there is the opponent you want there."
"oh?"
Mihawk's eyes lit up. Since the death of Wano's "Dragon-Slaying Samurai" Ryoma Shigetsutsu and "Kuri Daimyo" Kozuki Oden, at least on the surface, Wano has no such world-famous great swordsman.
If Kazan hadn't mentioned the country of Wano last time they met, Mihawk really wouldn't have much interest in this self-contained country.
But since Kazan has said this for the second time, he must know some secret person.
"Well... there are still a few people who can fight with you. By the way, how is that guy Shanks doing lately?"
Kazan roughly judged Mihawk's current level based on Mihawk's slash just now. There are indeed very few warriors who can fight with him in Wano Country.
"I stayed in Shampoo Land for a while, and now I am gradually entering the new world. At this rate, I will fight against the top pirates next year."
"Well...it's a little early to face those monsters..."
Kazan pondered. In his impression, Shanks' strength had dropped a lot due to his broken arm. It had only been more than a year...
But Shanks still chose to move on...
Chambord Islands must have practiced with Leili for half a year, otherwise his strength would not have recovered so quickly.
Kazan thought for a while and realized that Rayleigh was in the Chambord Islands and had great attainments in the field of one-handed swordsmanship. He was indeed suitable to be the teacher of Shanks who had lost his arm.
"Kazan, where can I find the people you just mentioned?"
"They are present on basically all the islands in the park. Just find an island and 'appear' and I'll have people take the initiative to find you."
"Well, I'll leave first."
Mihawk nodded and left with his black knife in hand. It was obvious how dedicated this guy was to his opponent.
Mihawk never glanced at Hancock from beginning to end, which even Kazan couldn't help but admire.
Even when he first met Hancock, he was somewhat affected, but Mihawk didn't feel it at all.
You must know that he is not domineering and domineering, which means that he relies entirely on his own perseverance to resist Hancock's charm.
Willpower is too strong.
"Let's go."
"Um."
Hancock obviously did not expect that Kazan would have an affair with that man Mihawk, and he was extremely shocked.
The shock level of "becoming friends with Mihawk" is on the same level as "becoming friends with Hancock" in this ocean.
The one who cuts people off at every turn is extremely cold-blooded; the one who kicks people off at every turn is extremely conceited.
It is simply not something that ordinary people can get along with.
Kazan got involved with these two people because one had Shanks as an intermediary, and the other was because Kazan knew his secret, and one of Kazan's future goals happened to make him very excited.
"And one last one."
"The last one?"
Hancock looked at Kazan in confusion. The last word should be... Crocodile?
Hancock had never had any contact with Crocodile. The two were not from the same era, and she didn't understand Crocodile at all.
But since Kazan is eyeing him, there must be something special about him.
Hancock didn't go out of her way to learn about Crocodile's past, so she didn't know how...'brilliant' Crocodile's resume was.
Crocodile and Moonlight Moria have some similarities.
Both of them were defeated by the Four Emperors, one was defeated by Newgate, and the other was defeated by Kaido. Then they both retreated into the new world and began to engage in crooked ways.
Originally, the two people would even have the same life trajectory, that is, they would be killed inexplicably by a rising East China Sea pirate ten years later, which was extremely ridiculous.
However, these two people also have great potential, and they are two of the characters who can definitely turn the new world upside down again.
Hancock followed Kazan and looked at the man's back.
She knew that Kazan must be planning some big event, otherwise there would be no need to go to the trouble of finding the two Shichibukai to say such things.
Hancock didn't understand what Kazan was doing. Her mind wasn't that bright. She listened to Newba when it came to matters at home, and she listened to Sanda Sonia when it came to matters on the ship. She rarely thought about things.
All she knew was that she should not disturb him now.
