Back at Marine Ford, a certain meeting room was currently loaded why high-level characters from the marines...

Yuki was sitting beside Vice admiral Tsuru with a bored look on his face and calmly observing the vice admirals in the room one by one.

'Not worth robbing, same over there, this one has a good sword, this one's necklace isn't that bad, Oh Garp got another pack of crackers…' The vice admirals felt creeped out by his gaze, but the sound of footsteps soon distracted them from it and this caught Yuki's attention as well so he turned around to stare at the person approaching them through the long hall…

This person's body can't be described as anything but cartoonish, his upper body was gigantic, especially his chest, but his lower body was very tiny in comparison. In fact, Yuki noticed that his hands were literally bigger than his legs in both length and width.

This man carrying a bible in his hands and wearing a hat that featured a pair of small round ears was in no way cute in Yuki's eyes as he was almost 7 meters tall!

'What the hell, seeing him in reality is truly way different than watching it from behind a screen, this guy is three times bigger than me and this is considering I'm quite buffed up since I trained to my current full potential and even went quite a bit above it… What kind of monster are you Bartholomew Kuma… Once a King that turned into a vicious pirate that was known as the Tyrant and the current wielder of the Paw Paw Fruit…'

As Yuki was analyzing the first warlord to arrive, Kuma was doing the same as well as he thought 'So this is the man Dragon-san wanted me to keep a close eye on huh?'

"Kuma, I expected you to come but It's likely that you will probably be the only warlord to attend this meeting" Spoke Sengoku while nodding at him, and Kuma calmly took a seat making him appear like a grown-up sitting on a child's chair before he said "I don't mind"

However, not long after, someone else jumped from the window of the room and approached with a wide grin on his face

"HEHEHE, I hope you won't mind me coming to this meeting"

"Doflamingo, you are the last person I expected to show his face here" spoke Tsuru coldly while staring at this newcomer who was smiling wildly as if he didn't receive a crushing defeat by the young man beside her just recently…

"HAHAHA suffering defeat isn't that uncommon if you want to be a pirate, what matter is if you can rise from it or not" Replied Doflamingo with a wide grin on his face before he started to manipulate some marines to fight among themselves…

"Hmm, that's quite surprising to hear…" Muttered Yuki while staring at Doflamingo with some admiration in his eyes… How could he not? It wasn't a matter of courage... This guy was simply even more shameless than him and it's not something that easy to achieve considering his level of shamelessness!

"Hehehe, Yuki, how about we work together, I run so many businesses that you might find interesting" Spoke Doflamingo while taking a seat on the table beside Yuki.

This however instantly made the atmosphere tense and one vice admiral couldn't hold back and yelled at Doflamingo "Are you trying to become an Emperor? We will take you down right here if that's the case!"

"Hehehe, small fries shouldn't speak out of line" replied Doflamingo before he sent the people he was manipulating to attack this vice admiral before he said "Becoming an emperor huh, Well you aren't wrong, it won't be impossible if the two of us join hands…"

The atmosphere grew even tenser after Doflamingo said this and everyone's attention was focused on Yuki who was calmly thinking 'Is this guy an M or something? Does he really want to get beat this badly? Can't he see how Garp's hand's so clenched to the point that he turned a cracker to dust? He's clearly ready to fist the two of us if I agree tch…'

"Doflamingo, I'm glad you value me this much and I don't mind dealing with you in the future if our interests align… I'm pretty sure plenty of people are already doing it so me joining in the fun shouldn't be frowned upon right?" Yuki had a wide smile on his face when he said this, all because he was telling the truth.

Doflamingo was an arms dealer, and he dealt with both the government and pirates such as Kaido, so him dealing with him shouldn't be a problem unless the government was targeting him specifically which will show their true intentions…

"HEHEHEE…" Doflamingo laughed loudly after seeing the frowns on Sengoku's and Tsuru's faces before he extended his hand and said "I can't wait to do business with you in the future"

And Yuki, with the harmless smile he learned from his neighbors, calmly shook hands with Doflamingo… Ah if only everyone here knew that Doflamingo had just signed a deal with a devil, they wouldn't have been that worried about the world, and they might even pity the poor warlord…

…

At this moment, the sound of footsteps echoed again accompanied by a cold voice "I didn't expect to see such a lively scene the moment I arrive here"

"Oh, someone dangerous has arrived" Muttered Doflamingo with a smile prompting Yuki to turn around and stare at the newcomer and he immediately recognized him from his vampire clothing and the giant black sword on his back that resembled a giant cross…

This was the number one swordsman in the world… Hawk-eye Mihawk!

"I didn't expect you would come here…" Spoke Sengoku with clear surprise on his face and Mihawk calmly approached Yuki and stared at the swords strapped on his waist before he said "How can I not come when such a mysterious character appeared out of nowhere and shook the world"

Hearing this, Yuki calmly stood up to face Mihawk with a smile on his face and the first thing he felt was the giant distance between them as swordsmen… It was like a giant abyss, yet the smile on his face didn't waver at all, and only Mihawk noticed this and watched as Yuki said "I heard you gave my friend a tough lesson that made him wake up to reality and get even more motivated to chase his dream…"

"Your friend? Are you talking about that reckless kid?" Spoke Mihawk with a slight smile on his face.

Seeing this, Yuki nodded slightly and said "It won't take long before he comes chasing after your title"

"Hahaha, it seems like you believe in him quite a lot…" Spoke Mihawk while laughing slightly shocking many people that never seen him act this way.

However, Yuki simply grinned and said "I do indeed"

Hearing this, Mihawk smirked at him and said "How about you try taking this title for yourself, or are those swords just for decoration"

The air in the room suddenly grew still, and even the calmest of these people Tsuru couldn't help but exclaim "Hawk-eye is actually challenging someone?"

Sengoku frowned slightly when he saw this and he was about to stop it but Yuki suddenly shrugged and said "I'd rather have a drinking contest against you than a sword one"

Mihawk serious face suddenly broke into a wide smirk and he gently took his hand off his sword before he replied "This offer is hard to turn down" then, he took a seat at the table and eased the tense atmosphere.

Seeing this, Sengoku calmly stared at Yuki and felt like he had a weird charisma around him that attracted both good and evil people toward him and he didn't like the prospect of it but he ignored this thought for now 'I will have plenty of time to talk to him alone later' before he said

"It seems like this is all the people that will come today… well, it's already plenty enough to have 4 warlords here, I hope that the four of you can do your best to keep the surging pirates under control… and your actions as well!"

The last part of that sentence was clearly directed at Doflamingo since he was the most evil of the four warlords present, but the latter didn't give two fucks about it for he was a descendant of the celestial dragons… He was a god! And even someone like Sengoku couldn't do anything about it…

The rest of the meeting was a bunch of reminders from Sengoku about their duties and rights as warlords and clear warnings so that the situation in Alabasta doesn't happen again but no one cared about most of it, especially Yuki who spent this time socializing and even managed to invite Mihawk for a few drinks by tempting him with some wine he got from the Tensura world!

…

However, Yuki's gaze suddenly froze as a bunch of system notifications appeared in front of his eyes…

[Quest Task 5: Not Available Yet]

Yuki's eyes started shining to an unimaginable degree as he stared at the rewards to the point that he forgot completely that he was talking to Mihawk just now… But for the first time, someone understood what he was experiencing.

Mihawk's eyes suddenly widened as he could faintly see the image of an indestructible being wreaking havoc in the world with no one able to stop it, and there among the smoke that was cloaking its figure, only a pair of eerie green eyes kept flickering and looking down on the whole world…

'Just what in the hell is this young man hiding? Are my eyes lying to me for the first time?' Mihawk couldn't help but doubt the vision he just saw while staring at the child-like excitement on Yuki's face, but it didn't discourage him, instead, he grew excited… Finally, he will have new opponents to sharpen his blade on…
