-FLASHBACK CONTINUES AGAIN-

-(YN) POV CONTINUES TALKING HIS PAST-

8 years later, I was 18. Once I was already a swordsman and started training more to pass my limits, My master called me from his relaxation spot, it's located from a top of a hill with only nothing but grass and one big blossom tree. As I got there, I realize my master standing on the edge of the hill, looking at the view as he said to me...

Mihawk: Come forward my student.

I started walking towards him as I was with him at the edge of the hill. He was still looking at the view as we can see all the trees and the water fall near us...

Mihawk: Do you see this, (YN)?

(YN): ...All I see is trees...

Mihawk: Not only that...Life.

(YN): Life?

Mihawk: Yes my student, life is full of exploration. Life is an exploration of things. The more you explore, the more knowledge you gain. Isn't it lovely to live something so beautiful like this?

(YN): ....Yeah. I give life credit on that one.

Mihawk: *chuckles* oh you...but that's not why I called you.

(YN): What? Then what is it master??

Mihawk: I have a feeling there is a danger coming near the future...and well-

(YN): Dont worry master, Now that I'm already a swordsman, you and I can work together and take on the evil that approach to us! Together we can become stronger!

Mihawk: ...You have such wise words my boy...but, I won't be doing the action....you are.

(YN): M-Me?!

Mihawk: Yes you..

(YN): Wh-Why me!? Im Not strong enough to handle the danger that comes forward me by myself I'm not strong like you.

Mihawk: But you already are. What about that amazing power you have that you used on me???

(YN): ...I...I Im still controlling that power. Sure it made me stronger, but I still need time to practice controlling it's power. Maybe you can help me Master, now that-

Mihawk: I can't.

(YN): Wh-What???

Mihawk: I would love to (YN)...but I don't have much time...now, here me out my student...you are already strong enough to defend yourself...you don't need me anymore. You are already a swordsman, use your swords on good and protect people from danger, and yourself as well.

(YN): But How??! How?!! I can't do this alone, I need you master!

Mihawk: (YN)...

Mihawk then places his both hands on (YN)'s shoulders....

Mihawk: Promise me...Promise me that you will use your skills, your techniques, and your power for good...promise me.

(YN): I-I...*sighs* I'll try Master.

Mihawk: Good.

(YN): B-But Im not following you...what are you trying to say Master??

Suddenly, the blossoms from the tree started to fall off as the wind blowing them away, smoothly as Mihawk hears the wind and  then says....

Mihawk: My time has come...
