Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

Whitebeard: "Eyes? Eyes as sharp as an eagle's. They can even make a warrior lose his fighting spirit just by looking at them. That's Mihawk's characteristic. Otherwise, why is he called Hawkeye?"

First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "But don't you find such eyes a little... strange?"

Whitebeard: "What's so strange about it? There are plenty of people with unique appearances in this world. I'm 6.66 meters tall, and you don't see me making a fuss about it."

Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "Are you serious?"

Whitebeard: "Of course! Look around—the world is full of unusual people. Roger's nose hair is as long as his beard!"

Pirate King Roger: "Hahahaha! That's true. It's my trademark look!"

Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "…"

Lucas: "You guys are overthinking it. This world's mysteries are far beyond what you can imagine. I know what you're thinking, and I can tell you with certainty—this is NOT the Rinnegan from your world."

Fire Fist Ace: "What's a Rinnegan?"

Lucas: "A special type of eye in the ninja world. It looks somewhat similar to Mihawk's eyes—white eyeballs glowing with a faint purple light, with concentric circles made of black lines inside. It grants mysterious powers."

Pirate King Roger: "Mysterious power? What kind? How does it compare to a Devil Fruit?"

Lucas: "The Rinnegan allows you to control attraction and repulsion, steal souls and extract memories, transform your body into weapons, absorb ninjutsu, and even reverse life and death to resurrect the dead."

Fire Fist Ace: "Reverse life and death? You mean, it can bring people back to life?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "That sounds… ridiculous! Are you making this up?"

Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "I don't know… My knowledge of the Rinnegan is limited to legend. But how does the group leader know so much?"

Lucas: "Heh. Not only do I know about it, but I also know that after your deaths, a pair of Rinnegan appeared in the ninja world, bringing great disasters to Konoha and the entire Ninja world."

First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Are you joking?"

Lucas: "No. But let's drop the subject—talking to you guys while fighting Mihawk is too distracting."

Outside World

The battle between Lucas and Mihawk had grown increasingly intense.

The sheer shockwaves from their sword clashes stripped the ground bare, sending loose soil and rocks flying.

Neither of them had used Haki yet, relying solely on swordsmanship—and yet, the sheer force of their battle had already reshaped the landscape.

Lucas suddenly sheathed Shusui, standing firm as his sharp gaze locked onto Mihawk.

"The final showdown."

Mihawk smirked slightly, lifting Yoru, his world's strongest black blade, and responded in kind:

"Come."

"Dragon Slash!"

"Black Slash!"

In the blink of an eye, both blades moved.

A blinding arc of steel carved through the sky, two shockwaves colliding with a force that split the clouds in half. The world seemed to stand still as the two figures flashed past each other—a single moment of absolute silence before the explosive aftermath shook the entire island.

Mihawk glanced down, noticing a clean cut across his coat—his first real wound in years.

A low chuckle escaped his lips. "As expected of the legendary dragon-slaying swordsman… I lost."

Lucas grinned, lowering Shusui. "You're not bad either. You're just half a step away from reaching the peak of swordsmanship."

Mihawk let out a rare bitter smile. "Perhaps in swordsmanship, I still have hope. But compared to you…"

Lucas shrugged. "Compared to me? Don't even bother. Genius and hard work don't compare to pure cheating."

Mihawk sighed, turning away. "This duel gave me new insights. I have much to reflect on. You're welcome to stay at my castle as a guest—or leave as you wish. You could also stay and train the boy."

Lucas followed Mihawk's gaze—right at Zoro, who was staring at him with burning determination.

Lucas smirked. "Train him? Forget it. Isn't that your job?"

Inside the Chat Group

Fire Fist Ace: "Come on! You're free anyway, why not teach him a little?"

Lucas: "Of course, you'd say that. He's your brother's second mate, so you're naturally biased. But why should I waste my time?"

Ding! Golden Lion Shiki sent an exclusive red envelope [Armament Haki - Advanced] to group leader Lucas.

Lucas: "??? Golden Lion, are you out of your mind? You hate the Straw Hat Pirates!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "I know! That's exactly why I want you to beat him up using my swordsmanship. Let him understand that my loss to them was not a fair fight!"
