Creating Manga Of One Piece In Pirates World Become My Ultimate Goal!-Chapter 895: Player Mihawk vs. the Shichibukai Mihawk!

_________________ 

In the heart of the art store, where imagination meets reality, Figarland Shamrock sat lost in thought, scattered manga pages strewn across his hands. Though "Manga Day" was still far off, the art store had already become the prime gathering spot for Celestial Dragons. The Holy Knights, higher-tier Celestial Dragons, were warriors among their kind.

The voice of their leader, Garling, snapped Shamrock back to the present, but his mind remained entangled in questions that had plagued him lately. Slowly lifting his head, he met Garling's gaze—a man embodying the unyielding authority of the Holy Knights, his presence suffocating any hint of rebellion. Garling was his father, yet here, their familial bond held no relevance. Still, Shamrock felt no fear as he once had. Something within him had shifted.

"Nothing, sir. Just thinking."

Garling was his father, but "sir" was the norm—a habit long ingrained.

Garling studied his face for a moment, then chuckled coldly.

"Thinking? Unusual for you. You're... unsettled."

Shamrock's chest tightened. Yes, he had always been obedient, never questioning the system he was raised in. But now, uncertainty gnawed at him. That manga, that pirate, that name which should have meant nothing... Why did it stir such turmoil?

Garling rose, turning to address the other knights with stern resolve.

"We have an upcoming mission. The world needs reminding of our true standing."

Shamrock looked up, locking eyes with Garling but offering no reply. Inside, a desire clawed against everything he'd been taught—a hunger for truth.

He's hiding something about Shanks. He knows.

...

That night, Shamrock returned to his quarters in the Figarland estate and reopened the manga. His fingers traced the image of Shanks, lingering on every detail.

"Could he be...?"

He refused to finish the question. To do so would mean committing to seeking answers.

Of course, answers weren't hard to find. Every Celestial Dragon who crossed paths with Shamrock mistook him for Shanks. With his long hair and younger age (compared to Shanks in the manga's timeline), he was nearly Shanks' double.

"The current Shanks is part of Roger's crew..."

Shamrock had his suspicions, but confirmation lay with his father—who refused to acknowledge anything.

"If my father won't confirm Shanks' ties to the Figarlands, the manga will one day. Fine. I'll wait."

With that, Shamrock set aside his thoughts and let things lie.

"Tomorrow, I'll log into the game world for some fun... A battle against Mihawk there might not be a bad idea."

Smiling faintly, he closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.

...

Meanwhile, on Ohara, Mihawk grimaced as he recalled his in-game battle against his counterpart.

"I didn't expect the gap in strength to be so vast... I didn't last five rounds."

"Does this make me like Zoro?"

His mind flashed back to the events within the game world...

...

In the Baratie restaurant courtyard, sunlight cast long shadows over the wooden deck. Zoro stood frozen, staring at the man who represented the pinnacle of his ambitions: Dracule Mihawk, calm as the sea before a storm.

Pirates murmured in the background, anticipation thick, while Player Mihawk watched silently among the Straw Hats. This was the iconic moment from the manga—Zoro's humbling awakening. But for Mihawk, a manga reader in the real world, this scene had become a relentless meme, a dagger to his pride for years.

When Dracule Mihawk drew his tiny dagger, Player Mihawk's hand trembled. This wasn't just a scene—it was reality, dragging him back to every taunt he'd endured.

"Ridiculous..." he muttered, watching Zoro charge recklessly only to be effortlessly parried.

Rage simmered within him.

This wasn't mere annoyance—it was injustice. True strength deserved respect, no matter the disparity.

As Zoro fell to his knees, Player Mihawk stepped forward. Though Zoro's defeat was necessary for his growth, here, in this game, it was his story mode—not Zoro's.

He strode into the arena, standing between Zoro and Dracule Mihawk.

All eyes turned to him, including Dracule Mihawk's, who raised an intrigued brow.

"Who are you?" asked Dracule Mihawk.

Player Mihawk met his gaze unflinchingly.

"Your next opponent."

Silence. Then, a faint smirk curled Dracule Mihawk's lips.

"How rare... for someone to say that."

Player Mihawk drew his sword—less illustrious than the Black Blade Yoru, but heavy with resolve.

"I'm not here to lose. Not to be humiliated like Zoro. I'm here to see... if I can surpass myself."

His grip tightened, heart pounding with long-absent fervor. Today, he wasn't just a spectator—he was part of the story. Today, he'd face his greatest foe: himself.

"Surpass yourself? Interesting."

Dracule Mihawk's focus shifted entirely, ignoring Zoro's burning resolve.

"Stay out of this!" Zoro yelled, but Player Mihawk ignored him, blade raised.

The two Mihawks locked eyes—one blazing with challenge, the other serene atop his pinnacle. The air crackled. Even Luffy, usually indifferent, watched intently, pitying Zoro slightly.

Dracule Mihawk stepped forward, a barely perceptible movement. Player Mihawk mirrored him, sword at the ready. This wasn't just a fight—it was a clash between dream and reality.

Player Mihawk lunged with blinding speed, aiming a lateral strike—

Clang!

Yoru intercepted effortlessly, a flick of the wrist deflecting the blow. Player Mihawk spun, leaping for an overhead strike, but Dracule Mihawk didn't budge. Yoru rose again, parrying and shoving him back with staggering force.

Undeterred, Player Mihawk feinted low, aiming for his legs—

But Dracule Mihawk vanished.

"What?!"

In a blink, he reappeared behind Player Mihawk. No tricks—just impeccable timing.

Player Mihawk whirled, but too late. Yoru slashed downward—

Crash!

He skidded backward, arms numb from the impact. The gap was undeniable.

Dracule Mihawk struck again—a simple, flawless horizontal slash.

Player Mihawk's sword flew from his grip, embedding itself in the deck.

... He'd lost. In five moves.

"You're still young."

Dracule Mihawk sheathed Yoru, indifference etched in his tone.

Player Mihawk stared at his empty hands, then at his foe. Total defeat.

Yet amid the stunned silence, he felt... excitement.

For the first time, he faced a true mountain to climb.

"Five... just five moves."

He grinned at Dracule Mihawk.

"But next time... I'll make you need six—"

Blood sprayed from his neck as the world darkened.

"Unfortunately, there won't be a next time."

[You Died!]

[Game Over!]

Those were Mihawk's final sights.
