While everyone else fights tooth and nail to gain experience, Akai takes his max-level character and steamrolls the beginner village.
One punch in Shells Town, one cannon shot in Orange Town, and the bounty at Marine Headquarters goes up by sixty million overnight! He recruits Zoro like a Pokemon, ropes Nami into being his navigator, and brings Sanji into the crew.
Level 46? Just the starting point.
Then Mihawk’s black blade cleaves the sea, and Akai pats Luffy on the shoulder. “Show him what it means to crush the world’s greatest swordsman with a max-level character!”
Luffy grins, his fist coated in black Armament Haki:
“Gum-Gum... Divine Departure!”
Mihawk’s pupils contract. “That move... Roger’s?”
The whole point is to throw logic out the window.
