The old man holding the sword knew very well that asking Qing Pheasant to step down and Qing Pheasant stepping down on his own initiative were not the same concepts.

According to Aokiji's injury and his past personality, abdication is just a matter of time.

"Indeed, if we make such a move now, our control over the navy may become even more unstable."

"As for the new marshal of the Navy Headquarters, it's time to choose it."

The bearded old man nodded in agreement and said another thing.

"They are all extremely troublesome things on their own, but now they are put together and it is really a big trouble."

The old man with a mustache and a scar on his head crossed his hands and said with a gloomy expression.

"As long as we solve the problem of Yongen and get the devil fruit from him, our rule will be more stable."

"So although it is troublesome, the benefits are still attractive enough."

The blond middle-aged man said.

"Then let's deal with the new marshal's affairs first."

The old man with a mustache and a scar on his head said.

Everyone nodded.

Kraikana Island, the first half of the Great Line.

"Sword Intent Demon Weber..."

Hawkeye Jorah Kormihawk looked at the newspaper in his hand, thoughtfully.

He had only heard of the existence of Sword Intention, but he never expected that it actually existed.

He has also practiced aura similar to sword intention.

He has the confidence to stand alone and just release his momentum, which can make it difficult for people to stand in front of him.

But that is just a kind of momentum shock. It is still too difficult to cause physical damage.

Being called a demon with sword intent must be more than just a matter of intimidation.

Mihawk really wanted to go to Weber to test the so-called sword intention to see if he could improve his sword skills to a higher level.

But Mihawk knew that this was not that easy.

Because Weber is not alone, behind Weber there is Yongen, a monster, as his backer.

As a member of the Shichibukai, generally speaking, no matter whether they are normal pirates or marines, they will give him a bit of a thumbs-down when they see him.

But Yongen was different. He was no longer a normal navy when he was in the navy.

After all, before Yongen, no navy had dared to attack the Shichibukai without authorization.

But Yongen just drove away the two Shichibukai, or it could be said that these two Shichibukai were just driven away because of their good luck.

One was interceded by the current queen of Alabasta. After surviving, he escaped from prison and escaped to the new world.

One was saved from death by the Four Emperors Kaido, who was known as the strongest creature. He hid in the country of Wano and did not dare to go out.

Even though Yone is clearly active in the first half of the Grand Line, there is no news of Doflamingo returning to Dressrosa.

It can prove how much pressure and threat Yone brings to Doflamingo.

After Yongen became a pirate, his first reward was 4.5 billion.

This kind of reward was unprecedentedly terrifying, and it took less than a month to accomplish a major event that was enough to shock the world.

Let Yongen go from a bounty of 4.5 billion to a bounty of 10 billion, becoming the first pirate in the history of the sea to have a bounty of 10 billion.

Webber is Yongen's subordinate. If he goes to test Webber rashly, he might offend Yongen.

Even Mihawk didn't dare to bet on this possibility.

After all, for a simple competition, you may lose your life. Mihawk is not that stupid yet.

Immediately, Mihawk thought of something.

Even though Weber was called the Sword Demon, he never thought of coming to compete with him to compete for the title of the world's greatest swordsman. Is it possible that this was because he ate the Devil Fruit?

Otherwise, all swordsmen who normally learn swordsmanship would not want to compete for his title.

Over the years, Mihawk has often been challenged by various swordsmen or great swordsmen.

None of these are people who have reached the top of the list of strong men relying only on the way of swordsmanship.

People with abilities who have never eaten devil fruits came to challenge him.

After all, after eating a Devil Fruit, as long as the Devil Fruit's ability is strong enough, kendo will mostly become an auxiliary means, not the main means of attack.

At this point, even if Mihawk is proud of his swordsmanship, he has to admit the power and convenience of Devil Fruit.

After all, if you eat a good Devil Fruit, you can become much stronger than ordinary people without having to practice hard.

And if you want to become a great swordsman, you need to go through countless practices and countless battles. Even so, you may not be able to obtain the title of great swordsman.

After all, there are too many people who die prematurely or have a change of mind while eating Devil Fruit.

In this world, people with devil fruit abilities are rampant, before they have truly grown up.

People with devil fruit abilities can be said to be their natural enemies, and they can also be said to be the root of their temptation.

At any time, you will be killed by the Devil Fruit user's ever-changing fruit abilities.

Or after witnessing the power of those with Devil Fruit abilities, they were tempted to eat a Devil Fruit, leaving their own swordsmanship behind, and instead practicing the Devil Fruit ability itself.

However, after switching to practicing Devil Fruit abilities, he rose faster.

Now there are three iconic figures on the sea.

Mihawk heard a rumor that all three current navy generals were strong in swordsmanship when they were young.

But after they ate the Devil Fruit, the traces of kendo gradually disappeared.

The shining fruit of Kizaru leaves such a deep impression on people that once you see it once, you will never forget it or dare not forget it.

Therefore, even if Kizaru's swordsmanship reaches a very high level, it will be covered up by the light of the shining fruit.

Aokiji rarely uses a sword. Just releasing his Devil Fruit ability is enough to frighten countless pirates in the sea and make it difficult to resist.

Not to mention Sakaski, after eating the lava fruit, no one has ever seen or heard of Sakaski using a sword to fight.

After eating the Devil Fruit, these three people successfully climbed into the ranks of the top experts.

For many years, these three people have frightened pirates all over the world, and even the Four Emperors will be afraid of them.

These few people have never thought of challenging him.

Thinking of this, Mihawk basically confirmed that Weber, known as the Sword Demon, also ate a devil fruit.

Otherwise, any swordsman who wants to reach the top of the ranks of the strongest with his sword would not want to challenge him.

Although it sounds a little tacky, after a man has power, he will start to break away from the original town or village.

Take a long-term view and choose to go to sea to be a pirate, a bounty hunter, or a navy. There is no difference between these choices.

Anyway, they will start chasing fame and fortune and prove their strength to the world. This is the dream of countless men.

And his title as the world's greatest swordsman is also a title that countless swordsmen in the world are trying to win even if they die.

Even in the navy, there are people who want to win his title, but when it comes to the navy, they usually stop at nothing.

After thoroughly thinking about it, Mihawk gave up his thoughts and went to find Weber to test.
