Chapter 212: A Guest on the Sea
This was a sea area deep within the New World.
At this moment, six pirate ships were moving steadily across the sea. Leading the group was the imposing Black Glory, Mio's flagship.
The other five ships belonged to Araki and his subordinates. Compared to the Black Glory, each of Araki's vessels carried over a hundred pirates and were correspondingly massive in size. The formation of six ships cutting through the waves exuded a powerful aura that made most ordinary pirates steer clear the moment they saw them—no one dared to get close.
On the deck of the Black Glory, Mio held a bottle of whiskey in his hand, sipping leisurely while gazing at the endless blue sea. The sea breeze brushed against his face, bringing with it the salty scent of the ocean. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
"Sir, there's a guest approaching!" Hei Yan suddenly shouted.
Mio narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze toward the distant horizon. A small boat appeared in the distance, slowly sailing toward the Black Glory.
"Sir, Araki and the others are asking if they should fire," Bai Feng said, walking up to Mio with a Den Den Mushi in hand.
Mio waved his hand and chuckled. "No need to panic. They're friends. Prepare for a party."
Through the telescope, he had already recognized the figure approaching on the boat—someone he hadn't seen in over a year. The familiar eyes and the unmistakable black sword at his waist, Black Blade Night, one of the Supreme Grade Swords, gave it away instantly.
It was Hawkeye Mihawk.
Following Mio's orders, all six pirate ships slowed to a stop.
