In the blink of an eye, ten days passed, and the Smiling Pirates welcomed their very first wave of guests: Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo, the current king of Dressrosa and fellow member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, alongside Hawk-Eye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords and the world's strongest swordsman.
As soon as they landed, the two men bumped into each other and exchanged a deep, lingering look, though neither said much. After all, they did not share much history. Guided by attendants assigned by the Smile Kingdom, they headed off separately toward the attractions that caught their interest.
Many residents of the Smile Kingdom were astonished by Hawk-Eye's arrival, having heard beforehand that he was exceptionally aloof and cold before joining the Smiling Pirates.
