Chapter 132: Evolution! The Strength of the Straw Hat Pirates
Trial of the Swamp area.
In the dense jungle, there were treacherous swamp clouds everywhere.
"What a filthy little boat, just like the bugs of the Blue Sea."
Gedatsu, the priest of the Swamp, a weirdo with a spider-leg hairstyle who rolled his eyes and often forgot to breathe because he was too focused.
was piloting his swamp clouds, inching closer to the small wooden raft named "Crow".
He looked at the black flag with the skull and crossbones on the mast, a look of disdain on his face as he reached out to tear it down:
"This rag-like flag is disgusting to look at. Better throw it into the swamp."
Behind a tree, Chopper was trembling, his small body shivering with fear.
But when he saw that dirty hand about to touch the pirate flag, about to insult the symbol that represented the beliefs of Dr. Kureha and Luffy—
Chopper's fear vanished in an instant, replaced by an unprecedented determination!
"Stop... stop it!!!!"
Chopper roared and shoved a yellow Rumble Ball into his mouth.
"Crunch!"
"I am a pirate!!! You are not allowed to insult our flag!!!"
With the roar, Chopper rushed out from behind the tree, his body instantly expanding and morphing into "Walk Point" form.
He charged like a cannonball, using his antlers to fiercely ram Gedatsu's hand away from the flag.
"What? Where did this raccoon dog come from?!"
Although Gedatsu was often foolish, his strength as a priest could not be underestimated.
"Swamp Burger!!!"
He pushed his palms out, and two globs of sticky swamp cloud blasted out like cannonballs.
"So fast!"
Chopper used his small size to his advantage, nimbly jumping away at the last second, but the trees behind him were instantly engulfed and corroded by the swamp clouds.
After landing, Chopper quickly switched forms: "Brain Point: Scope!"
He put his two small hooves together, and through that special vision, he searched for the enemy's weakness.
'Although this guy has great destructive power, his movement relies entirely on the swamp cloud shoes and the breath dial under his feet.'
'And... his reaction is very slow, his IQ doesn't seem high, and he often forgets to breathe...'
At this moment, Gedatsu was red in the face from holding his breath after the previous attack, scrambling to adjust his breathing:
"Huff... hah... almost suffocated this great man..."
Now is the time!
Chopper had an idea. He quickly took off one of his shoes and threw it hard toward Gedatsu's left side.
"Take this!"
"Huh? A hidden weapon?" Gedatsu fell for it, his gaze foolishly following the old shoe.
"Arm Point!!!"
Chopper seized this fleeting opportunity, and his muscles instantly bulged.
Those originally cute little hooves turned into steel-like muscular giant arms.
He leaped high, gathering all his strength and his dignity as a pirate into this one strike.
"Kokutei: Roseo!!!!"
"Bang!!!!"
This strike landed solidly on Gedatsu's surprised face, a huge hoof print blooming like a cherry blossom.
The terrifying power directly drove the priest, along with his cloud shoes, deep into the sea of cloud swamp below like a pile driver.
"Glug, glug..."
The swamp churned, Gedatsu's figure disappeared completely, unable to float back up.
"Huff... huff..."
Chopper landed on the Crow, panting heavily.
He spread his arms, guarding the flag behind him tightly. Although he was covered in mud, his eyes were incredibly proud:
"No one is allowed to touch our skull flag!!!"
Outside the ruins of Shandora.
Ancient vines entwined the broken walls; here, the history of eight hundred years lay dormant.
Robin was standing in front of a broken wall engraved with ancient text, her fingers gently stroking the weathered patterns, her eyes full of tenderness and awe.
Suddenly.
"Boom!!!"
A loud noise broke the silence.
God Warrior Captain Yama, a giant of a man, didn't hesitate to smash his fist through that precious 800-year-old wall to attack Robin.
Debris flew, and the ancient text turned to dust.
The elegant smile that usually hung on Robin's face vanished completely in that instant.
She looked at the rubble on the ground and slowly raised her head, her eyes as cold as an eternal ice cellar:
"What you just... destroyed is priceless history."
"So what? This kind of broken rock!"
Yama, relying on his massive size and the ten "Slash Dials" equipped on his body, attacked crazily like an out-of-control bulldozer:
"You'll be the same as that rock! Become rubble!!!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The surrounding ruins collapsed continuously under Yama's attacks.
Initially, to avoid damaging other artifacts nearby, Robin had to dodge awkwardly.
Her arms were also scratched by flying debris and Slash Dials, blood staining her sleeves.
"Unforgivable..."
Robin gritted her teeth, fighting while retreating.
Using the power of the Hana Hana no Mi to constantly interfere with Yama's vision, she lured him step by step to an open cliff area without any ruins.
"Hahahaha! Nowhere to run now, woman!"
Yama looked at the abyss behind her and grinned hideously: "I'm going to crush you!!!"
Robin stopped, turned around.
The wind blew up her bangs, revealing a chilling sneer:
"Yeah, here... there's nothing that can be broken by a pig like you."
Before Yama could react, the ground beneath his feet suddenly "bloomed".
"Seis Fleur... no, Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano!!!"
Countless fair arms sprouted crazily from the ground like vines, instantly covering Yama's massive body.
The arms locked onto his neck, joints, spine, and limbs.
The giant God Warrior Captain was actually lifted into the air by these countless hands, suspended over the cliff.
"Let... let go of me!!!" Yama struggled in terror.
Robin crossed her arms over her chest, looking indifferently at the sinner who destroyed history:
"For a barbarian who doesn't know respect, this is the end."
"Clutch!!!"
"Crack!!!"
With a crisp and terrifying sound of bones breaking, Yama's massive body was twisted into a bizarre angle.
Then, Robin waved her hands.
"Ahhhhhhh—!!!"
Yama was tossed like a ragdoll directly off the ten-thousand-meter-high cliff, falling into the vast Blue Sea.
Robin dusted off her hands, just as if she had just disposed of a bag of trash.
She turned and walked back to the ruins, picked up a piece of rubble from the ground, a flash of regret in her eyes, and then continued to walk deeper to decipher history.
Corridor of the ancient ruins.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Dazzling flashes exploded continuously among the ruins.
Zoro was facing an unprecedented bitter battle.
His opponent was the Shandia guerrilla warrior, Braham.
This agile warrior used the "Flash Guns" in his hands to constantly blind Zoro, and coordinated with the breath dial skates under his feet to move at high speed through the complex ruin corridors.
"Damn it... can't open my eyes..."
Not only were Zoro's eyes stinging with tears and unable to see clearly, but the opponent was also maintaining a medium-to-long distance, kiting him.
Whenever Zoro tried to get close, the opponent used the skates to instantly widen the distance.
No matter how strong Zoro's swordsmanship was, it was futile if he couldn't hit anyone.
"It's over, swordsman of the Blue Sea!"
Braham stopped on a stone pillar in the distance, raised his dual guns, and aimed at Zoro:
"At this distance, you are a living target!"
"Flash Gun: Flashlight!!!"
More blinding light erupted, accompanied by deadly bullets.
However, this time, Zoro did not dodge, nor did he try to charge.
He stood where he was and slowly closed his eyes, which were still streaming with tears.
The world plunged into darkness.
But in that darkness, distracting thoughts disappeared.
He recalled the gentle words of his master, Genzo, back at the dojo when he was a child.
He recalled the air current that cut through everything when that man named Hawkeye swung his sword at the floating restaurant.
'A sword... is not just for cutting tangible things...'
After his vision shut down, his hearing and touch were infinitely amplified.
On this noisy battlefield, he "heard" it.
He "heard" the vibration of the spring when Braham pulled the trigger, he "heard" the trajectory of the wind, and he even "heard" the opponent's smug breathing.
Zoro's hand slowly moved to the hilt of his sword, his body's center of gravity sinking.
'What I want to cut... is not just the enemy.'
'But— this distance.'
"One Sword Style: 36 Pound Cannon!!!"
Zoro opened his eyes abruptly, and a chilling aura of ghosts burst out from him.
He didn't move his feet, but instead swung his sword forcefully through the air toward Braham in the distance!
"Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind... the six senses of man..."
"Alright! I'll let you see... a flying slash!!!"
Hum—!!!
A blue, spiral-shaped high-pressure sword energy whistled out!
It tore through the air, making a sharp, explosive sound, ignoring the distance of space, and directly pierced through the flash and bullets fired by Braham!
"Wha... what?!"
Before Braham could react, he was hit head-on by this terrifying sword energy.
"Pfft, ah!!!"
Braham screamed as he flew backward, the dual guns in his hands shattered, and a wound deep enough to see bone was left on his chest.
He fell to the ground, looking at the swordsman in the distance in disbelief: "Sword energy... can actually fly this far..."
Zoro slowly sheathed his sword.
"Click."
The sound of the tsuba hitting the scabbard was crisp and pleasant.
Zoro retied his bandana, glanced at his fallen opponent, his tone indifferent:
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
