When Colt was in Logue Town, Smoker had inadvertently become a beneficiary of his

teachings, learning the fundamentals of his Devil Fruit powers and its weakness.

Although their encounter was accidental, it didn't stop Colt from leaving a mark-something that would later play a critical role.

Colt's ambition to control the world meant facing barriers like the Revolutionary Army and Dragon, hurdles he had long anticipated.

The other Revolutionary Army cadres could easily be handled by someone like [Senju Tobirama], who was more than capable of dealing with their reckless approaches.

However, Dragon was different.

In Colt's view, only Im and Dragon truly qualified as a threat of this world.

For Dragon, Colt had always maintained vigilance, ensuring that he could track his movements.

The only time Dragon had publicly appeared was in Logue Town to see Luffy off, after which his whereabouts had become elusive.

To maintain control, Colt had left a tracking mark-one of his eye techniques-on Dragon.

While it lacked offensive capabilities, it was sufficient to keep tabs on him. Even a dragon cannot escape once its tail was grasped.

"Colt-sama..."

As Colt pondered the best moment to deal with Dragon, Shirahoshi approached him timidly, her face wrinkled in distress.

"What's wrong?"

"Colt-sama, I... I don't think I can join your ship..."

Shirahoshi fidgeted with her fingers, looking aggrieved.

"Nami and Robin just showed me the Flying Feather, and... it's too small for me!"

Her voice quivered as she neared tears.

Everything had been arranged, and even her father had agreed.

But her size seemed to be the final obstacle.

Seeing her on the verge of crying, Colt quickly reassured her.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I've already planned for this."

Colt patted her gently on the head as he floated beside her.

"Do you think I'd speak to King Neptune without a solution?"

"Really?" Shirahoshi's eyes widened with hope, though a hint of doubt remained.

Reluctantly, Colt revealed his prepared surprise: [Sukunahikona]!

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Shirahoshi's massive body began to shrink.

Gradually, her size reduced to about two meters-just right for the ship.

Colt ceased the flow of his pupil power, satisfied with the result.

Originally, [Sukunahikona] could only shrink its host, but Colt had pushed its boundaries using his immense chakra reserves.

For Colt, the expenditure of chakra was trivial.

After all, what was a swimming pool to the vastness of the sea?@@novelbin@@

With her size issue resolved, the previously distraught Shirahoshi lit up, her cheerful demeanor returning.

The following days on Fish-Man Island were relatively peaceful.

Colt spent his time indulging in food, and leisure, and occasionally teasing Shirahoshi and Carrot.

But today, a significant visitor arrived.

As Hawkeye stepped onto Fish-Man Island, he was greeted by Kisame, who carried the imposing Samehada on his back.

Kisame, ever curt, smirked coldly.

"You're slow. Follow me."

Hawkeye's sharp gaze narrowed as he silently followed.

Along the way, mermaids and fishmen respectfully stepped aside, clearing a path for the duo.

Before long, they arrived at the Hard-Shell Tower.

Kisame gestured for Hawkeye to enter but didn't follow.

Taking a deep breath, Hawkeye pushed the doors open.

Inside, Colt was using [Sukunahikona] to shrink Carrot's treasured carrots to pebble-sized fragments.

The frantic little rabbit looked ready to cry, while the others roared with laughter.

As Hawkeye entered, Robin subtly signaled to the others, leaving the room to Colt and the

swordsman.

"God-Killer Colt?"

Hawkeye's expression turned to one of shock.

The elusive sword attack he had chased for two years was Colt's doing?

He doubted Kisame's claims.

From Colt, he sensed none of the typical traits of a swordsman.

Colt lacked a visible blade on his waist, his hands were soft and callus-free, and his demeanor

was more refined than rugged.

Most importantly, Colt's eyes didn't carry the sharpness of a seasoned swordsman.

Colt, noticing Hawkeye's skepticism, spoke calmly.

"You doubt Kisame tricked you, don't you?"

Hawkeye remained silent, though his suspicions were evident.

Colt smiled faintly.

"There's no need for words. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to test me."

"Here?" Hawkeye's voice finally broke the silence.

If Colt truly possessed such power, Fish-Man Island might not survive the battle.

"Relax. Dealing with you doesn't require much trouble."

Suddenly, a surge of terrifying power engulfed the room.

Hawkeye instinctively reached for [Yoru], but he was too late.

The world around him dissolved into darkness.

Within this void, a blinding sword attack erupted.

It was an epoch-making slash, brimming with unparalleled divine energy.

Caught in this chaotic realm, Hawkeye was free from physical restraints.

Drawing [Yoru], he unleashed his strongest attack yet-a mile-long emerald-green slash

that radiated lethal intent.

The slash, his greatest masterpiece, charged forward with incredible might.

But in the face of Colt's overwhelming power, it was insignificant.

The emerald slash disintegrated as if it had never existed, and Hawkeye was consumed by the

light.

When his consciousness finally returned, Hawkeye found himself on one knee, trembling.

Colt loomed above him, exuding an aura of unmatched authority.

"As expected of the world's greatest swordsman," Colt remarked.

"You had the courage to swing a blade, even in the face of absolute power. I acknowledge your

strength."
