1 Mysterious Shop

Clear sky, the breeze of warm wind, bright sunlight, the gentle waves of the sea, a pleasant view like a perfect work of art.

Everything seems already perfect if not for the floating black coffin in the middle of the sea.

On the top of it is a man in black sitting quietly watching everything across the sea as if waiting for someone.

Drakula Mihawk, Warlord of the Sea, The Strongest Swordsman in the world.

He has everything, fame, treasure, and strength, but he still feels empty, right now he is traveling, trying to find inspection for his swordsmanship to improve.

But sadly, years after years of traveling there's only one person who can make him feel happy while fighting.

The most absurd of all is that yesterday he found that person gave the greatest happiness of him to a kid as a bet for the next generation.

This made him angry but it was useless he is already emotionless there was nothing can make the thing he lost come back.

"A bet?"

Looking at the distance, Mihawk thinks what kind of kid does that man places his bet on, is it worth it?

But even it is worth it or not, this is nothing he can do, right now the only thing he can do is find a person who can remove his boredom of him.

While in deep thought he noticed a strange thing floating in the sea.

'Barete? Wait I'm still far from Barete right m?'

As he comes closer the figure started to be clear. It's not the Sea Restaurant but a strange shop floating in the sea

Seeing not someone he knows, he pull his sword "Yoru" and slashes the unknown floating store that blocking his way.

Yoru is one of the strongest swords in the world, ranked as one of the 12 Supreme Grade swords. It is a "Black Blade" that is currently owned by Dracule Mihawk, the "Strongest Swordsman in the World".

From the attack, a dark green sword energy appears flying towards the store trying to slash it in half.

He did not use all his strength but it's enough to destroy the thing blocking his way.

As the attack travel, the boor of the floating store finally move, a young man comes out.

Short black hair, a chiseled shape face, bright black eyes full of energy, gentle eyebrows that will make you think that he can forget everything bad you do.

He comes out holding a wooden sword then crush the incoming attack easily then come back again as if nothing happen.

"Great Swordsman? Interesting I never expect to encounter an unknown Swordsman for so long."

Mihawk did not take another shot, he just push the boat near and embarked on it.

"Other Word Store? What kind of good are they selling here?"

Looking at the store in front of him, Mihawk enter without a second thought.

Cling!

The door open, the bell ring, then Mihawk enters.

Inside of the store is pretty simple yet well organize, the combination of o old but elegant theme made Mihawk appreciate the owner's taste

In the cashier area is the boy who blocked his attack.

Like any professional clerk, he said" Welcome, do you come to buy or sell?"

If you want to sell, we only buy unique things that we feel worth full.".

"We also sell clothes, food, weapon, everything as long sa you have money to spend.".

"Sorry i did not come to buy or even sell, I come to fight you?" Mihawk straight said.

"Strange, are you perhaps a gangster collecting protection Fee? Sorry to say but i don't need protection at all".

"..." Mihawk.
