Chapter 105 A slash of burning flames, the Dance of Karmic Fire!
"boom!!"
"ah!!"
With a loud crash, Moria, who had smashed through the wall, flew out, his screams carrying far and wide, immediately attracting the attention of west Yan and Oz.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Moria's familiar voice, Oz instinctively looked to the side and immediately noticed the person flying in mid-air.
He blurted out instinctively, "A...aerial acrobat?"
Instinctively, Oz wanted to reach out and grab it, but the distance was too far, and it was clearly beyond his reach.
"Luffy has already clashed with that guy," west Yan said.
It looks like that guy was sent flying by Luffy's punch, so it seems like it's only a matter of time before Luffy defeats him.
Thinking of this, west Yan nodded, turned his head to look at Oz again, and took advantage of his daze to kick him over.
Oz, enraged by the kick, stopped looking at the little garlic clove flying in mid-air and focused all his attention on fighting Xi Yan.
"You wretched brat!!"
Moria, suspended in mid-air, was filled with rage.
Luffy's attack not only interrupted Moria's words, but also dispelled Moria's idea of persuading Luffy.
Since we can't get what we want through communication, we'll have to take action!
The thought flashed through Moria's mind, and then his expression gradually changed.
"That wretched Straw Hat Boy!"
"In that case, we'll have to defeat you first," Moria shouted. "Then we'll subdue that brat!"
If we can get this person, that would be best; if not... then we'll just offer up our corpses!
"Whoosh~"
"boom!!"
Finally, Moria crashed into the distant forest, creating a large crater in the ground.
However, he used the power of his shadow to reduce the impact, preventing himself from suffering serious injury.
"Damn it, don't run away!"
Luffy, who had grabbed the edge of the window with both hands, also launched himself up and caught up.
"Whoosh"
"boom!!"
Luffy, launched from the slingshot, flew faster than Moria himself, landing in the forest in just a few breaths and creating a large crater.
But Luffy didn't care about such things. As a user of the Gum-Gum Fruit, he wasn't afraid of being attacked.
After glancing around, Luffy looked puzzled and said, "Strange, where is everyone?"
That fat garlic head flew this way, but why didn't we see anyone?
Looking puzzled, Luffy began searching for Moria.
Just then, someone quietly appeared behind the tree and whispered, "Hey, are you Straw Hat Boy?"
"Um?"
Just as Luffy was about to yell, he immediately turned to look at the other person. Finding it was someone he didn't recognize, Luffy asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"You must be the captain of the ninja gang."
As the man spoke, he pointed to Xiyan, who was fighting Oz in the distance.
Do you know Xi Yan?
"Ah, I am Captain Lola's subordinate."
"Lola?"
The man was taken aback. Hadn't the captain seen the Straw Hat Boy before?
Or perhaps the other party simply didn't remember?
Thinking of this, the man said, "It's that person who proposes to people the moment they meet them."
"Ah, it's her... the woman who proposed."
Luffy immediately remembered, and Lola's image involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Yes, it's her..." The man breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "We're friends."
"I don't know why you called me over, but I'm busy right now," Luffy said. "I still need to go and beat up that bastard Moria."
"That way, everyone's shadow can come back."
After saying that, Luffy planned to leave, clearly having no intention of chatting with the other person there.
"I know you're going to fight Moria, but before that, I want you to come with me."
Why?
"Because we have the ability to make you stronger!" the man said quickly. "We'll use your shadow to make you even stronger."
At that moment, the man understood why the ninja leader had asked them to stay here.
Perhaps... it's all for the moment when the Straw Hat Boy arrives!
"Huh?"
"Oh no!!"
"Ah... that was really fun today." west Yan flicked his wrist and said with a smile, "An indestructible punching bag is just so useful."
Oz looked rather miserable; one of his fangs had been broken off, and one of his incisors had been knocked askew.
They were covered in dirt and footprints.
Clearly, west Yan had put him through a lot.
"Damn it, why do you keep hitting me in the face?" Oz said, annoyed.
Although he doesn't feel pain, it's embarrassing to keep getting slapped in the face.
Subconsciously, Oz touched his fangs and became even more annoyed when he discovered that one was broken.
"Damn it, I'm going to break your teeth too!"
"If you have the ability, you can give it a try."
west Yan crossed his arms, looking extremely arrogant.
In terms of strength alone, he and his opponent were about the same, but his opponent was not as fast as him.
Therefore, during the battle, west Yan firmly held the upper hand.
However, because Oz is a zombie, he doesn't show any weaknesses due to pain, so the battle didn't turn out one-sided.
But for west Yan, a punching bag that won't die easily is actually more interesting!
Just then, they heard shouts from people below them.
"You two bastards!!"
"Damn it! How dare you treat our General's zombie like this! You won't get away with this!!"
Upon hearing these sounds, west Yan and Oz instinctively looked down at the ground and immediately spotted the figures.
That was the same general zombie that Oz had kicked down the stairs earlier; now that he had recovered, he was planning to take revenge.
Who are you?
Oz lowered his head in confusion, asking, "Do we know each other?"
Xi Yan glanced at them indifferently without saying a word, seemingly not taking them seriously at all.
General Zombie:....
One said they didn't know them, and the other didn't take them seriously at all... What utter contempt for people, you bastards!!
"Damn it, they were attacking us just now, and now they're denying it?!"
"You two, you'd better prepare yourselves!"
"Don't underestimate the General Zombie, you bastard!"
The general zombies roared angrily, clearly mistaking west Yan for one of the attackers who had just attacked them.
There's nothing we can do about it; Xiyan has grown so big now.
"I didn't attack you just now."
"Bullshit! You're a ninja, who knows if you used a clone jutsu to confuse us, then grew bigger and ambushed us?"
"Exactly!"
west Yan: ....
What does this have to do with him? It was Oz who jumped down and smashed it, okay?
But judging from the way these guys looked, they wouldn't listen to his explanation at all.
"Prepare to die!"
Enraged, the general and his soldiers charged at the two men, weapons in hand, and attacked them without hesitation.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Those who launch a slashing attack launch a slashing attack; those who launch artillery fire launch artillery fire.
Unfortunately, given their current muscle defense capabilities, ordinary attacks are completely ineffective against them.
Even west Yan is not someone they can break through; at most, they can only make west Yan feel some stinging sensation.
Looking at the ants at their feet, west Yan and Oz shouted simultaneously, "Damn it, haven't you guys had enough?!"
"Rubber...not a rubber machine gun!"
"Ninja Fist!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Their attacks were incredibly terrifying, causing the ground below to collapse, and those so-called general zombies...
They beat him into a tiny pancake by the two of them.
Even if they couldn't be killed, they were no longer able to get up and continue fighting.
"Damn giant, I..."
"boom!!"
west Yan punched the other person, forcefully silencing his words.
"This is really noisy."
Seeing those two fighting here, they still dare to come and court death... Have these guys always been this brave?
Sword masters are indeed very powerful, but how much of their strength can they unleash when they become zombies?
At the very least, the attack just now couldn't break through their defenses.
"What a captivating power..."
Moria, standing on a large tree, looked at Oz and Xiyan with excitement.
That's the power of giants!
Even though those zombies were powerful ancient warriors who had been resurrected, they could not have any effect on these two behemoths.
"Hmph, once I've dealt with Straw Hat Boy, I'll go and ask him what he thinks myself," Moria said with a snort.
Hopefully, this ninja brat will be sensible; otherwise, he'll have to be ruthless.
Just then, several booming sounds came from the top of a tall building, and a white flying slash pierced through the building!
The next moment, an even bigger explosion rang out, blasting a section of the top of the building to collapse!
"boom!!"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
The next moment, several figures rushed out of the dust and smoke; it was Zoro and his companions.
"Oh?"
"That three-sword style swordsman was actually able to fight Ryoma to this extent?" Moria said with a surprised expression, "His strength is not simple..."
He knew the prestige of Shimotsuki Ryoma; he was a legendary samurai who had once slain a flying dragon.
Even a resurrected zombie is not someone an ordinary person can contend with, but this brat... which means his strength is not just at the level of a hundred million or so?
"It seems the Straw Hat Pirates' bounties aren't inflated at all..." Moria said, squinting.
At this moment, Moria realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were; this group might actually turn Enies Lobby upside down.
"Even so, you won't be leaving here unscathed today!"
After letting out a cold laugh, Moria quickly jumped down from the tree and headed deeper into the forest.
Clearly, he was going to continue searching for the Straw Hat Boy.
"Dual Sword Style: Rashomon!"
"Yohohoho!"
"Nightfall Melody - Straight Pierce Strike!!"
"Clang!!"
"boom!!"
The two brushed past each other, and the slash they unleashed cleaved off another portion of the already dilapidated rooftop.
The power was like a cannonball exploding here!
"So...so strong..."
Brook, lying in Franky's arms, stared in shock at the two of them; their power far surpassed his own!
At that moment, Brook realized something: ...this samurai had never seemed to fight him seriously before!
Brooke felt frustrated at this point.
"What a closely fought battle..." Franky remarked, "Every attack was blocked by the opponent."
Judging from the current situation, it's impossible to determine a winner in the short term.
"Both of them are experts," Brooke sighed. "They saw through each other's attacks and were able to neutralize them."
Frankie nodded and said nothing more.
Franky glanced at the two men facing each other, then at the two enormous figures confronting each other in the distance, and suddenly felt that the scene was quite awe-inspiring.
This Fang Liang can perfectly see the entire situation on both battlefields!
The visual effects are absolutely stunning!
"What's with that giant?" Brook, who had also noticed west Yan's direction, exclaimed in shock, "Why do I feel like he looks like...?"
"That's right, it's Xiyan!"
"Huh?!?!"
Brook exclaimed in shock, "This ninja guy... he can actually transform into a giant!"
He had never seen anything like this before. How did the other party manage to do it?
The power of Devil Fruits?
Or...did it rely on the power of ninjutsu?
"That's right!" Franky exclaimed, "Take a good look, this is the strength of our pirate crew!"
Brook subconsciously swallowed. This Straw Hat Pirates... might really be stronger than he had imagined.
"Hehehe, today is really lively," Longma Xun said with a chuckle.
"Yes, it's certainly lively."
Zoro glanced at the battlefield in the distance, then slowly took off the bandana from his arm and tied it around his head.
He then drew the sword from his waist, put the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, and assumed the signature stance of the Three-Sword Style.
"However... I don't have time to dawdle with you any longer... It wouldn't be good if it got too bright."
At this moment, Zoro's eyes became extremely sharp!
"Yohohoho, are you going to use your acrobatic swordsmanship again?" Ryoma said with a chuckle.
Who knows?
Zoro grinned, and his aura instantly began to surge!
"boom!!"
An incredibly terrifying aura emanated from Zoro, instantly giving people the illusion that he was a three-headed, six-armed demon!
"Varied..
2
Franky looked incredulous. What had he just seen?
Zoro suddenly transformed into a three-headed, six-armed demon?
Was he seeing things?
"He can create illusions just by his aura...?" Brook looked at Zoro in shock and said, "What a terrifying man."
He had never seen such a powerful person before.
"Wow, what a powerful aura!" Ryoma exclaimed with excitement. "Looks like he wasn't just bragging."
Just from that aura alone, you can tell that the opponent is definitely a powerful swordsman!
Given enough time, it's not impossible for him to become an incredibly powerful swordsman.
"You'd better show me your true skills, or I'll be in trouble."
"Yohohoho, don't worry." Ryoma said seriously, "Although I am not the real Ryoma, I will not disgrace this body."
Even if he thinks the other person has good potential, he won't hold back at all!
If you want to take that weapon from him, you must defeat him head-on!
And this... is the path that Mai Liang, the great swordsman, must take!
"roar!!"
Just then, Oz suddenly roared and rushed over to west Yan, raising his arm to deliver a punch!
Xi Yan, not to be outdone, retaliated with a punch.
"boom!!"
A terrifying shockwave instantly traveled from afar, blasting away rubble!
This acted like a fuse, causing the two swordsmen, who had been facing off against each other, to freeze in shock.
"Demon Aura - Ugly Blade Style!"
"Asura - Karmic Fire Spirit!!"
"Phew~"
As if a strange flame were burning on his body, Zoro pushed off with his legs, shattering the rubble beneath his feet, and quickly charged towards Ryuma.
From Ryoma's perspective, it looked like a demon burning with karmic fire was charging towards him!
"Yohohoho!"
"Nose Song Three-Step Slash with Arrow Tail!!"
With a loud shout, Ryoma also shattered the rubble beneath his feet and charged towards Zoro at an extremely fast speed!
"Clang!"
Zoro swiftly swept past Ryuma's body, appearing behind him and coldly saying, "Your sword... I'll take it!"
"puff!"
These words were like a signal, and a huge X-shaped knife wound immediately appeared on Ryoma's body!
The next moment, the knife wound lit up, and a flame instantly erupted, spreading across Longma's body.
Slowly sheathing his three swords, Zoro removed his headscarf and calmly turned to look at Ryoma.
"Truly... showing off your talent," Ryoma said. "That's me."
His opponent not only saw through his slash, but also inflicted a fatal wound on him.
Now, flames have appeared that can burn his body to ashes...: He's already...
Looking up at Fu Kong, Longma said with mixed feelings, "To let this martial arts body experience failure is truly..."
"Feeling ashamed is enough," Zoro said calmly. "A true swordsman is one who embodies both mind and body."
"Wow, you're quite the talker."
Ryoma glanced down at the Shusui sword in his hand, sheathed it, and tossed it to Zoro.
*Smack!*
Watching Zoro steadily catch the Autumn Water, Ryuma said softly, "Making you the master of this sword was also its long-cherished wish, wasn't it? Boy, what is your dream?"
"The world's greatest swordsman!" Zoro said without hesitation.
"The world's greatest swordsman, huh...."
For some unknown reason, Ryoma suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yohohoho!"
"Yohohohoho!!"
"Yohohohohoho!!!"
"call!"
The flames began to grow larger, engulfing Longma's entire body.
And so, in the Great Search, Longma was completely engulfed by flames and gradually turned into ashes.
Watching the rising shadow, Zoro murmured, "I met you while you were still alive, Maki..."
He wanted to see just how powerful a true dragon-slaying swordsman was.
Unfortunately, this wish will never be fulfilled.
It's a real pity that we weren't born in the same era.
"Great, my shadow is back!!"
Brooke looked at the shadow appearing at his feet, and was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, shouting and yelling excitedly.
No one knows how much suffering he has endured all these years!
After losing his shadow, he didn't even have the right to return to Laboon's side... But it doesn't matter, now that his shadow has returned, he has the right to face the sunlight again!
After letting out a long sigh, Zoro looked at the two and said, "Let's go. It's not time to celebrate victory yet. The battle isn't over."
As he spoke, Zoro glanced again at the battlefield between Xiyan and Oz, where the fighting was much more intense than his own.
"You helped me retrieve my shadow, so naturally I'll go through fire and water for you!" Brooke said earnestly, "Let me do my part too!"
Seeing Brook's serious expression, Zoro grinned and said, "Don't die, okay?"
"profound!"
