Zoro watched quietly.
"After I got injured, I also wanted to join the navy. After all, there's a user of the Bandage Fruit in the navy. I heard his ability can heal injured limbs." Saka said, looking at his hands, and then smiled sarcastically: "The fruit ability does have an effect, but it has nothing to do with us, the idiots."
"?"
Zoro was puzzled: "You came to the Grand Line and became a navy of the headquarters, right? This shouldn't be a small navy anymore."
"Haha, you're overthinking it. I want to become a navy officer in the East China Sea. How could that be possible? Those are only given to people with connections. Besides, I joined the navy because I was injured."
Chapter 160: Possessed by Ghosts, also known as: Possessed by Ghosts
"so.."
"So I went to the Grand Line, ready to sign up at the headquarters on my own, but the navy of the Grand Line was even more disgusting than I imagined." Saka said to himself.
Zoro listened quietly, watching the ghost energy emanating from the other person's body become increasingly strong.
He frowned.
"What happened?"
"Do you know how merits are calculated in the navy?"
"do not know."
"Millionaire pirates, tens of millions of pirates, and pirate minions, each level of pirate receives different merits. For the first two, as long as the navy captures anything, they can exchange merits based on the price. However, the definition of pirate minions is very vague, but there are also merit points, such as ten people, one hundred people, and one thousand people."
"And I was just a merchant ship with a little bit of strength. During a fight with pirates, I saved the entire merchant ship. But then the navy came and took full control of the pirates. I don't mind that actually.
But I was just one man short of a hundred pirates, and the owner of the merchant ship, because the pirates had damaged his cargo and didn't want to pay my bodyguard fee, simply classified me as a pirate."
"Haha, I'm a swordsman who fought bloody battles to protect his merchant ship, but I was labeled a pirate in a few words. And these damn navy didn't even investigate, and directly treated me as a pirate even though I was still injured.
What happened afterwards... heh..."
Saka talked about his past, and Zoro frowned as he listened to the extremely strong ghost aura on the other person's body.
After taking a sip of wine, Saka seemed to suppress his emotions: "After being imprisoned, I found a chance to escape and ended up on this island. I thought my life would end here, but..."
Saka reached for the Seven Star Sword at his waist.
There was fanaticism in his eyes.
"Do you know what it feels like to lose everything and then have it all again?"
Zoro put down his glass silently.
His companion's experience left him speechless.
"What about them?"
"They? They're the navy. They even chased me to the island to capture me. But now they've all become sword slaves."
Advise him to be kind?
Zoro is not a saint.
If we look at it from another perspective, after all that Zoro has gone through, can he still drink so steadily?
What would have happened to him if... he had not been rescued by Luffy at that time?
Once he thought about this, he silently let out a breath of foul air.
"What about this kid?" Zoro looked at the kid sitting quietly beside him.
"Him, his name is Duma. He's from this island. It's thanks to him that I was able to survive the shipwreck and meet Maya. Forget it, why am I telling you all that? Let's drink."
Saka filled his glass with wine and took a big gulp.
Seeing this, Zoro naturally didn't want to spoil the fun and just took a sip.
"So... you didn't just come to me to catch up, right?"
Zoro asked the question.
Saka looked at Zoro seriously and said, "Zoro, have you heard of the legend of the Seven Star Sword?"
"No."
Seeing Zoro being so frank, Saka was not surprised. He pointed at the Sandai Kitetsu on Zoro's waist and asked, "Isn't the power of the demon sword very useful?"
"..indeed."
Saka seemed to have found a like-minded comrade. He reached for the Seven-Star Sword at his waist and said, "The power of this sword surpasses even that of your demonic sword. If it were fully unleashed, its power could transform an ordinary person into a great swordsman, or even surpass him!"
"As fellow demon sword users, I believe we should collaborate. It's almost tonight, the day the blood moon descends. If we work together to completely liberate the Seven Star Sword, its power will be fully unleashed!"
Saka's eyes were fanatical, and even glowed purple.
"..."
Zoro looked at Saka's current state and said calmly, "You are too seriously infected by the ghost energy."
But Saka didn't care and said, "So what? Power has a price. Now I am just infected by the ghost energy, but I am still me! I am the user of the Seven Star Sword, and that is enough!"
Zoro frowned. Was Saka still himself in this state? Was he wielding the Seven Star Sword, or was he being used by the Seven Star Sword?
Silently, he looked at the Sandai Kitetsu on his waist.
The danger of ghost energy is greater than he imagined.
In comparison, the third generation of Kitetsu is just a doll.
At this moment, Zoro heard an explosion. He turned his head and found that an ender pearl had just fallen not far away, and Cheng Lang's figure appeared.
He wasn't surprised either.
"Saka, he is my partner." Zoro just explained, and saw Saka had already drawn the Seven Star Sword.
"Saka?"
Zoro looked at the other person in confusion.
At this moment, Cheng Lang also noticed this scene, and he felt a little strange.
Just now, the moment he arrived, all the people who were not originally hostile targets instantly became hostile.
"?"
Between lightning and stone.
Saka had disappeared from the spot.
There was a crisp sound of metal collision, and Saka clashed head-on with the Seven Star Sword and the Diamond Sword.
"So impatient?"
Zoro was puzzled when he saw this: "Wait, Cheng Lang, Saka is in a very strange state."
"I know. He is now under the custody of the Seven Star Sword."
"?!"
Cheng Lang twisted his wrist, trying to escape the collision of force and power.
After all, Cheng Lang is not afraid of the continuous power competition, but the surrounding navy is attacking him at this moment.
He is not afraid because he has a diamond suit, but the problem is that he doesn't want to get hurt.
Although the opponent was taken over by the Seven Star Sword and looked like a human-machine, his swordsmanship was extremely superb.
Cheng Lang's little trick did not succeed.
Cheng Lang gritted his teeth and suddenly exerted force.
Saka was directly knocked back dozens of meters by the huge force.
"Really? I don't know why this happened, but I can't just stand by and watch my friends get attacked like this." Zoro silently drew out his three swords and prepared to fight.
However, Cheng Lang looked at Saka and said, "His target is me. Why don't you leave it to me? I want to test out my recent achievements while I'm at it."
After hearing this, Zoro hesitated for a moment, but looking at Saka's current state, there was no one else in his eyes.
"Okay, but he was my former classmate."
"Don't worry, don't forget the effects of my milk."
After hearing this, Zoro no longer hesitated and took on the attacks from the navy minions, but at the moment of contact, he frowned.
The strength of these guys is increasing little by little.
Especially the ghost energy on his body was also increasing.
Cheng Lang looked at Saka with narrowed eyes. Although the other party looked dazed, as if he was stunned by the ghost energy, his body posture and strength changed little by little in coordination with his movements.
"It's really a world of difference from the movie version."
Compared to the movie version where the man and the sword are assimilated and become one, this situation, which is like being possessed, is normal.

Chapter 161 Sword Skills
Although the definition between swords and knives is very vague in the world of pirates, for example, those who use knives can be called great swordsmen.
But that doesn't mean knives and swords are the same.
The knife focuses more on chopping.
The sword is a double-edged sword with blades on both sides. Although it can be used for slashing, stabbing is the sword's stronger point than slashing.
At the same time, because of its double-edged nature, it is naturally more flexible than a knife, so in a collision of power, the sword does not have an advantage.
At this moment, Cheng Lang frowned as he looked at Saka who was possessed by ghost spirit.
"If you knife wielders switch to swords, is it true that you can only perform miracles with great force?"
Cheng Lang couldn't help but complain.
In fact, when Saka used the Seven Star Sword, it was just a knife. There was no skill involved at all, and it was powerful enough to send bricks flying.
