At noon, the sea was windy.
Kronos was standing on the second floor of the boat, feeling the strong sea breeze blowing in his face.
A vague feeling stirred in his heart.
At this time, Konan slowly walked out of the restaurant and came to Kronos's side, asking softly:
"What are you thinking about?"
Kronos turned his head to look at Konan and shared his thoughts.
"The wind feels off today. It might rain."
Hearing Kronos' words, Konan subconsciously looked up at the sky.
But the sky was clear.
There wasn't even a single dark cloud, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all.
"Could it be an illusion?" Konan questioned uncertainly.
Kronos didn't answer affirmatively.
Maybe it was just his own delusion.
After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, especially out at sea.
So it was hard to say.
On the sea, stronger sea breezes were quite normal.
With that in mind, Kronos also looked up at the clear sky and whispered to himself:
"Maybe."
Not wanting to linger on the second floor, Kronos turned and returned to the cabin.
He went back to his room.
But not long after Kronos returned to his room, the clear sky suddenly dimmed.
"Boom!!!"
A dull thunder sounded.
The dark clouds in the sky were rapidly condensing.
The waves became more and more turbulent.
"Boom!!!"
Another dull thunder rumbled.
Cool raindrops suddenly began to fall as the thunder dissipated.
And this time, it was actually raining!
"Crash!!!"
This sudden change caused the handymen to yell out in surprise.
"Damn it! The weather's so bad today, it'll rain if it wants to!"
"Who said no? I was still thinking about training in my spare time."
"Now it's alright, I'm busy again!"
"This ghost weather, is it going to turn into a storm?!"
"With this scale... It's probably going to be a storm!"
"Alright! We don't have much time, hurry up and prepare for the storm!"
"It's just heavy rain now, but when the real storm comes with big waves, it'll be too late!"
After these words, everyone started preparing with a series of measures to deal with the storm, like securing the items.
Kronos also walked out of the cabin at this time.
It wasn't just Kronos.
The other members were also gathered on the deck at this moment.
Looking at the sudden heavy rain, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but say:
"It's raining so suddenly!"
It was also at this time, on the lookout at the top of the main pole of the ship.
One of the four handymen on duty, Poprun, noticed something abnormal at sea.
Immediately, Poprun turned around and shouted down to Kronos:
"Captain! There's something on the sea!"
Kronos heard the shout and looked up slightly.
But then he heard Poprun speak again.
"There's someone on a boat, coming this way!"
Hearing this report, Kronos frowned slightly.
The scene of someone sailing alone in a small boat was rare on this part of the Grand Line.
And it was right in the middle of a storm.
With that in mind, Kronos and the crew rushed to the side of the ship.
Looking up, as Poprun had said, there was indeed a strange-looking boat not far away, braving the turbulent waves and heading straight for them.
The mast of the boat was shaped like a cross.
There were also white candles on both sides of the ship.
The owner of the ship was carrying a large sword with a cross-shaped hilt on his back!
When Kronos saw what the boat looked like and noticed the man sitting on it, a puzzled look appeared on his face.
"It's him?"
At this point, Kronos clearly recognized the man sitting on the boat.
With such a unique and recognizable boat and broadsword, in Kronos' mind, only one person could own it.
That person was the world's greatest swordsman.
Hawkeye Mihawk!
But what puzzled Kronos was the current time period.
Shouldn't Mihawk be in the New World, in the second half of the Grand Line?
Why was he appearing in the first half?
Just as Kronos thought about Mihawk, Mihawk himself was also observing the Kamui Pirates.
