The world's greatest swordsman is Mihawk, which is also Zoro's goal. He has always been pursuing this position, but now this guy suddenly claims that he is the world's greatest swordsman.
If it were anyone else, Zoro would just think that he was announcing his ambition, but judging from this man's performance and fighting strength, perhaps it wasn't ambition at all.
"none of your business."
Kuro said irritably, "I remember your teacher was Mihawk, right? If you survive, maybe you can go and ask him?"
To be honest, Kuro felt like he had offended Mihawk to the point of no return.
On the way here, they captured his friend, and now they're going to kill his apprentice.
I feel a little bad about it...
However, life and death are common occurrences at sea.
"A narrow gorge".
A black and gold straight line suddenly streaked across the sky and quickly appeared in front of Zoro. Zoro was startled and tilted his head back, while simultaneously slashing the Wado Ichimonji he was holding in his mouth forward.
when!
With a crisp sound, the blade of Wado Ichimonji struck a black sword, revealing Kuro holding Shusui.
"I saw it!"
Zoro tilted his head back and stared directly at Kuro, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "I've finally seen your speed!"
Kuro narrowed his eyes, and the black blade of Shusui slid down along Wado Ichimonji, making an extremely tricky cut towards Zoro's chest!
when!
The blade of the Third Generation Kitetsu was filled with Haki, and it blocked the back of Shusui's blade with a single strike. Zoro grinned and his right hand's Enma, imbued with Haki, drew a black streak in the air, aiming straight for Kuro's neck.
In this situation, the opponent will usually retreat, giving Zoro an opportunity to advance and counterattack.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Do you think you're in a position to make me back down?"
Without moving an inch, Kuro flicked his blade upwards, directly knocking away the Third Generation Kitetsu who was blocking Shusui, and charged straight towards Zoro's chest.
At the same time, an aura of dominance began to emerge from his body, a cross appeared between his eyebrows, and tear stains appeared under the corners of his eyes.
Zoro clicked his tongue, swung his foot to the side, and suddenly spun around. During the spin, he withdrew Enma's sword strike and, while chanting Wado Ichimonji, blocked Shusui's advance with his three swords, slowing it down.
"It's no use."
Bang!
Kuro moved his arm, and Shusui unleashed a burst of energy that struck Zoro's chest, sending him flying backward.
In that instant, Kuro flashed and appeared directly above Zoro, who was flying away.
Hiss...
A golden light shot out from Qiu Shui, and he slashed down with exceptional decisiveness.
Just then, Zoro suddenly spun around again, his body bursting with Conqueror's Haki. The aura twisted, giving him three heads and six arms, and his three swords multiplied into nine, spinning out in a single motion.
"Ghostly Aura - Nine-Sword Style - Asura - Demon Nine Flashes!"
Ta-da!
As Kuro spun like a whirlwind, his Shusui was scraped by the three swords in turn, which actually blocked his downward slash.
As he spun, Zoro's body rapidly shifted, landing smoothly on the ground. His nine swords, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, converged on a single point and charged upwards.
"Bull needle!"
when! !
Kuro felt a tremendous force emanating from the blade, causing his Shusui to bounce upwards. At that moment, Zoro reversed the blade again, crouching slightly as he lunged upwards like a cheetah, unleashing the "Nine-Sword Style: Leopard Qinyu!"
Seeing this, Kuro immediately moved upwards, dodging Zoro's charging attack.
He looked down at Zoro, who was radiating fighting spirit, and said, "I must say, you are now certainly qualified to fight me; you have grown a lot."
That three-headed, six-armed phantom formed by 'ghostly aura' was clearly beyond the level of being entangled with Conqueror's Haki and covered by it. Although it was not yet complete, with the addition of unified Haki and a noticeably improved swordsmanship, although it was still very mixed and not specialized, it was able to carve out a path in the later stages of its 'mixed' nature.
All of these combined make him qualified to challenge him.
If he were in his prime, this kid should be able to put up a fight with him.
"What a pity..."
Kuro flicked his blade, and the lightning bolts from Shusui stabilized, coiling around the blade. "Your current state is far from ideal."
"But I'm still here, Gum-Gum Jet Orochi Cannon!!"
Bang!
A shout came from below, startling Kuro. He saw a black light rushing towards him and quickly shielded Shusui in front of him. Then a muffled thud was heard, and the immense force made Kuro grit his teeth. He was actually moved up in the air for a moment.
Luffy stretched out his fist, and the fist landed right on the blade of his sword, grinning at him.
The force...was huge!
Judging from his condition, has his physical strength recovered?
"Incense burner, your opponent is me!"
Luffy yelled and inhaled sharply, his body beginning to swell, but not like a balloon. Instead, his muscles expanded into a perfect fighting physique, and the wind force generated by his expansion blew his straw hat to the back of his head, making his hair stand on end.
His body emitted plumes of steam, and as Luffy exhaled sword-like breath from his nose, his body no longer bounced like a balloon in Gear Fourth, but instead jumped a few times on its own, twisted its neck, wiped its nose with its thumb, and laughed:
"Fifth gear! Come on, I'm ready!"
Have you regained your strength?
No, this posture...
Kuro looked at the rising steam and asked, "I was just about to ask you this: even if you achieve your goal this way, is it worth it?"
Upon hearing this, Luffy grinned, revealing a bright smile, and said firmly, "I only care about becoming the Pirate King, I don't care about anything else!"
Kuro's eyes darkened. He sheathed Shusui and flicked his fingers, causing Shusui to float into the air. From the air, a ball of golden light descended.
"To be honest, you're such a fly-like character. You annoyed me to no end a few years ago, but I let you off a few times out of respect for Garp. Apart from that, I was just disgusted by your arrogance. I just didn't expect you to have gotten to this point in such a short time."
"While I dislike people who disregard everything for their goals, I must admit that you have an incredibly strong will. So... I'll take you seriously."
Golden light descended from the sky and landed in front of Kuro. It was a long, golden strip that was gradually unraveling from the top, revealing a dark gold hilt.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Kaido is down, and Linlin seems to still be fighting, though she's not in great shape. I was thinking that with these two as a backup, plus the troublesome Straw Hat, once we capture them all, the world will be at peace.
He just hadn't expected the kid to be able to continue recovering his strength...
We can't do without Luo Gui.
They risked their lives!
