Chapter 14: Chapter - 14 [ First Servant! ]
"Dracule Mihawk... How was it?"
Mihawk who can only tilt his head smiled like an idiot and said,
"Very Satisfying... But I wanted to reach... No .. I ... Wanted to surpass that realm... And I'm sorry... It seems I won't be... able to keep.. my promise..."
Ash smiled and said,
"What? Do you think you are going to die? If I want you to live, then even if the god of death comes for you, you can't die! We can talk after I heal you."
Ash said and snapped his fingers and Mihawk's injury as if time turning back, returned back. Without an injury, Mihawk now stood up.
"I see... So you really wanted me to serve you huh..."
Mihawk said with a respectful smile. He only respected the strong. And if that person is a sword master who is stronger than him, then his respect will be unpredictable!
"What do you think of that attack?"
While still standing on the sea with the help of Ash, which he doesn't know how, Mihawk answered,
"I felt like this whole world was split into half! Is such a thing possible?"
He was like a young boy asking about exciting things to an old man!
"That is nothing, Mihawk. In fact, Splitting the world is only the start of Swordsmanship. If you surpass your mortal self, then it is possible to cut even fate, destiny, space, time or anything! It doesn't have a limit! And what I showed you is only the tip of an iceberg!"
This words made Mihawk tremble. He thought he was in a realm no one can reach! And he thought it was the limits! But here this young man is saying it was only the start..!?
Mihawk hurriedly kneeled and said,
"As promised, my life will be yours to do as you like from now on till my death!"
Ash laughed loudly and said,
"Stand up Mihawk! I already told you, so there is no need to kneel anymore. And as a bonus I will take you the realm which you never could have imagined to reach!"
Mihawk who stood up by his words began to smile excitedly!
"Understood! I'll be in your care, Master!"
Ash shook his head and said,
"Call me Ash. No need to call me Master."
Mihawk nodded and said,
"Then let me call you, Ash-sama!"
Ash nodded. Then he looked around and saw that people were looking at him as if he was a monster. Even navy was being cautious against him.
Ash clapped his hands and the destruction that happened due to them repaired itself. He then teleported with Mihawk into D.
As they reached D, Ash said,
"I'll give you a new sword. Your Yoru broke. It's time to get a new sword. Also, these two are our crew members and Orna is my lover. Girls, acquaint with him. I'll come back in a minute. Ah, also you can leave for Conomi Island."
The girls nodded. Ash smiled and teleported out of there.

Ash who teleported suddenly appeared on top of the navy ship startling some soldiers. They unknowingly shot at him. But Ash just casually caught the bullets in his hands and smiled.
"Stop!"
To Hina's order, everyone stopped pointing their gun at him. They weren't just her men, but also Smoker's men. That's why they were startled.
Seeing the young man who once shocked her, Hina sighed and smiled at him. Then asked,
"You really can't settle down, can you?"
Ash smiled back at her and said,
"What can I do? Someone challenged me. It's not like I can refuse. By the way, you must be Smoker. Glad to meet you. My name is Chaos.D.Ash. You can call me Ash. I'm not a pirate for your record. I'm just a traveller."
Smoker who was mentioned nodded with a stiff expression. Even if he's strong, he wouldn't be arrogant as to say that he can defeat Mihawk even in normal fight. So, it was a little hard to endure such a young man's aura. But he also introduced himself.
"By the way Ash? Mihawk... What did you do with him?"
Ash looked at her and said,
"Tell the navy headquarters that Mihawk is resigning from his Warlord position and also no more a pirate. He will be my subordinate from now on. Of course he wouldn't go around and do anything wrong, you can be of sure about it."
"What!? Mihawk accepted it?!
Ash nodded.
"This is a problem.... Mihawk is someone who has billions of berry as his bounty. Removing it suddenly will make people suspicious. And I don't think Marine Fleet Admiral will allow it. Especially if he resign from his position as a warlord."
Ash nodded and said,
"Too bad. That means we can only be enemies. Just tell them that if I find someone tailing my people, they'll regret it. And one more thing, don't think it was my full power when I fought him. I didn't even used a 10% of my strength..."
Of course he was lying. After saying this, Ash disappeared.
"10%? That attack was? Even if he was lying, i don't think he was lying about holding back. We have to talk with the Admiral! Let's go!"
"Yes!"

Ash reappeared in the ship and saw that Mihawk was resting on a chair while talking to Flare. Probably she is asking about Swordsmanship. She also have the skills after all.
Seeing him, Mihawk stood up in respect. Even Flare did. She was shocked to see him defeat Mihawk like that. And he didn't even looked injured. Although he already told her he was strong, seeing it makes it more exciting!
"Welcome back, Ash. Where did you go?"
"I was talking with the navy a little. Mihawk, you will resign from your Warlord position and will not be a pirate anymore. I told them already. But I'm sure the navy headquarters even if accepted your resignation, will not remove your bounty."
Though Mihawk was slightly surprised, he nodded in understanding.
"It's fine, Ash-sama. I was planning on resigning anyways. And being a pirate, I heard from the ladies that we won't stand with any group unless they are someone important to you or anyone from the crew. So, I understand why you want me to resign and retire from being a pirate. But I'm okay with it! As long as I can learn sword from you, I don't care about anything else!"
"What about your home? Do you have someone you want to take with you?"
"No. I don't have any family or friends. Though I do have buisness partners, but they don't matter."
Ash nodded and took a seat near them. Ash he sat, Mihawk began to ask more about his last attack. And Ash obviously explained.
But Mihawk had a long way to go before he can use such an attack...
While they fought, many people from all over the world was startled by the news they saw in the paper!
