And when Zoro clearly saw the person on the raft, his expression instantly froze.
His gaze could no longer move away.
"He… he's Mihawk??"
"The worlds strongest swordsman Dracule Mihawk??"
"This is the man I've been searching for!"
Zoro's eyes were already dazed.
He stared intently at Mihawk, feeling his body tremble slightly.
This was the person he had always yearned for.
He had expected to meet Mihawk years later, but he met him today.
And the distance between them was so close.
The powerful fighting spirit erupting from Zoro made Luffy and the others slightly stunned.
"Zoro, the goal you've always yearned for has appeared, go."
A gentle voice suddenly came from Zoro's ear.
Zoro turned and saw Reno smiling at him.
"Okay!"
Although he didn't know how Reno knew, Zoro knew he was always mysterious.
So he didn't dwell on it too much.
Seeing Zoro about to confront Mihawk, Luffy and Usopp cheered.
"Hehehe, go, Zoro, send that guy flying!"
Luffy waved his fist, saying thoughtlessly.
Johnny and Joseph, his two subordinates, also began to cheer for Zoro.
They were clearly full of confidence in Zoro.
Feeling the support of his companions, coupled with Zoro's belief in the subtle gap between him and Mihawk.
So he felt this would be a long, very exciting battle.
Zoro suddenly opened his eyes, a bright light shooting out from them.
It was also accompanied by boundless confidence.
"Alright, I'm going!"
Zoro said without looking back.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zoro came before Mihawk.
He didn't even need to say anything.
From the powerful fighting spirit emanating from him, everyone understood what he was going to do.
However, upon seeing him.
Mihawk sheathed Black Sword Night, which he held in his hand.
He naturally felt the fighting spirit from Mihawk.
But in his eyes towards Mihawk, there was only contempt.
As if looking at an ant.
On the other side,
Looking at Zoro and Mihawk.
"Can Zoro beat him??"
Usopp whispered.
Although on the surface, Zoro's momentum was strong.
But how did he feel that the guy opposite was even more formidable?
After all, to cut down Krieg's 50 warships, Zoro probably didn't have such strength yet, did he??
"I don't think he can win."
Nami didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
"Nami is right, Zoro is not his opponent, and he will be instantly killed by Mihawk!"
"Then why did you??"
"This is Zoro's long-cherished dream, and it's also to let him see the gap between him and Mihawk."
Reno said softly.
Everyone immediately understood and then turned their gaze to the center of the battlefield.
At this moment, Zoro and Mihawk were the focus of all attention.
Facing Mihawk, Zoro dared not be careless.
Muscles tensed, fully focused.
Maintaining peak condition.
Mihawk, however, seemed more casual; after sheathing Black Sword Night.
He took out the small cross knife from his chest.
