Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Roya vs Mihawke, Heading to Cocoyasi Village

Roya steps first, but instantly gets a flying slash sent towards him, leading him to dodge by hair's length. Roya starts to dodge the flying slashes, and Mihawke smiles satisfactorily, enjoying the way Roya is dodging the slashes.

"You know, you can't be always dodging, you have to come and get close to me to be able to beat me."

Roya keeps on dodging, but is slightly getting closer, which annoys Mihawke and she starts to increase her attack speed. Suddenly, multiple slashes hit Roya, providing minimal damage and making Roya abandoning defense and going all out attack. Roya finally nears Mihawke, until she directly swings at Roya, while Roya aims his fist towards her chest.

Mihawke gets a hit on Roya, leading to thin strike across his torso, while dodging his punch and pushing him back.

"You are just taking unnecessary damage right now, you are no match for me."

"I know that, but i'm not stopping any time soon."

Roya disappears, leading to Mihawke getting slightly surprised, and blocking from her right side with Yoru.

"Well, you still have a lot of improvement, so let me drill into you what being at the peak of this world looks like."

Roya jumps back, ready to block until he feels Mihawke's aura rising, leading to Roya trying to run as fast as he can out of there.

"Zan'ei: Kokuyoru."

Mihawke disappears from her spot appearing in front of Roya, and stabbing through his chest.(Away from all his internal organs purposefully)

"See? You are no match for the top of th-"

Black Flash!!!

You have unlocked Armament Haki.

Roya hits a Black Flash, slightly affecting Mihawke's Haki, and making her have a realisation.

"Oh, so that wasn't Conquerer's Haki, so wha-"

Black Flash!!!

Roya hits another Black Flash, getting into the flow while MIhawke starts to realise her Haki is getting affected.

"Fascinating. I didn't realise there was a power to affect Ha-"

Black Flash!!!!!!!!

You have unlocked Observation Haki.

You have a massive increase in both Haki's for hitting a Black Flash 3 times in a row. Your Conquerer's can't be affected anymore, you'll have to find your dream yourself and believe in it.

Mihawke, now realising her Conquerer's is temporarily fading, decides to finish off the fight.

"Kokutō: Taka no Me."

Mihawke sends multiple dangerous slashes, making Roya dodge using his newly awakened forms of Haki. Roya, hit by multiple, is protected by his Armament and Physique, only showing lots deep gashes across his body.

"Haaaa, I guess this fight is over, Mihawke."

"Where do you think your going, I still have to ask you what is that pow-"

Roya initiates his teleportation, causing rings in the sky to come from above.

"Sekai Ichi no Zangeki!"

Mihawke tries to stop him from going, but before she even initiates the attack, Roya has already disappeared through the rings circling him and going away.

*Star Pirates*

The crew wait for Roya to arrive through his supposed teleportation, and are now starting to have some doubts, until multiple rings come and disperse, revealing a bloody Roya, with 3 downward gashes and a light one diagonally across, with multiple superficial slashes on his entire body, including his head.

"Yo girls, I'm back."

"What the fuck happened to you Roya! You need to see Kaya now!" Dadan is horrified by his scars, as well as Makino, Usoppe, Carmen and Sanju.

"Relaaaaax, tis but a scra- owwwww, don't touch my chest Lucy."

"You know you didn't have to really do that. You could have just told her to wait for you to get stronger." Lucy frowns cutely, making Roya smile and laughing off her remark.

"I'm going to go get treated, wait for me to come out, and I have a map that shows us where to go. Dadan, move the ship to go towards the approximate area of the Conomi Islands."

Roya walks away, heading to Kaya's room, where he sees Zora and Kuina bandaged up and going out.

"Woahhh, I guess you got messed up even more than us." Zora says, with Kuina having a surprised expression at the scale of his injuries.

"Well, I guess I got the biggest beatdown then, now, excuse me please."

Roya steps in, and Kaya turns to see him and gets shocked, starting to panick and gets to work on him.

*30 minutes later*

"Shishishishihshi!"

"Gyahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Buggie, Lucy and Usoppe are crying with laughter, with the rest of the crew laughing along. Roya, having been mummified and him removing his glasses, stands still with his arms cross staring at the sea.

"Dwehhehhehheh, Roya, you sure you are good?" Sanju asks, still laughing while Roya gets a tick mark on his forehead.

"Enough! If one of you laughs again, I'll chase you and give you beating you won't forget!!"

*snickers*

"Zora. I'm going to give you to the count of five to run."

"But that wasn't me! It was Kuina!"

"Why, you bastar-"

Both Zora and Kuina get blitzed, smashed together and thrown to two chairs.

"Ahhhhhh, man, I'm going to sleep. Someone, wake me up when we near Cocoyasi Village."

Roya heads inside, while the rest of his crew forget about his mummified state and get back to doing their own things.

*2 days later*

Roya, still mummified, is playing games against Lucy and Usoppe, while beating them both single-handedly, gets a message.

You have successfully escaped Dracule Mihawke, you Observation and Armament Haki have increased to level 2, unlocking Armament Imbuement and increasing Observation range.

You are now at the level of a Mid-Vice Admiral

'What an excellent find, thank goodness they both levelled up, but I guess I have to unlock this supposed Conquerer's Haki by myself, through finding my own dream properly.'

Due to you escaping from a Yonko-Level foe, your ship has unlocked the playback feature, allowing you to fight previous enemies your crew have went against. You will have also bonuses according to which Yonko/Admiral/Commander levels you have went against. This means every Swordswoman gets an upgrade when in your crew due to you escaping the Strongest Swordswoman in the World.

'Fantastic, that's excellent. How can they train?'

In your mind, this also doesn't affect the real world time as well. You stop fighting when your mental self dies, and you have to wait after 12 o'clock in midnight each day.

'Ok, got it.'

"Roya, we are almost at Cocoyasi Village." Dadan says, looking at the island in the horizon.

"Well, it's time to humble some Fishman."
