Chapter 198: Ryoma and Brooke's Feud
Watching Usopp return to a distress signal from Merry, Nami and Chopper vanished into the gloomy forest they had almost acquainted, and the rest of the group once again turned their attention to the tower with its huge sails.
"Then we're going to go!" With Luffy's exhilarating roar, everyone else sped up and rushed towards the tower, Brooke had been preoccupied on the way to the gallop and didn't know what to think, and finally said his decision after thinking about it for a long time in his heart, "Captain Luffy, Moonlight Moria is not so easy to deal with, and now you are short of three combat forces, let me go alone to get salt, I can do it." Let this Mr. Swordsman and Mr. Pervert go with you! ”
"What are you talking about, Brooke! The enemy knows that salt is his weakness, and he will definitely send someone to guard it, what if something happens to you alone? Luffy, who heard Brooke's proposal, immediately rejected the proposal without hesitation, "As for Moonlight Moria, I can beat him up alone!" ”
"Captain Lu, please consider my request!" Looking at Luffy, who was unmoved, Brooke thought of the figure who had been entangled in his heart, and after struggling for a while, he continued to persuade.
"Well, then! Be careful yourself! Maybe we won't need you to get the salt back, and we'll already be able to fly that bastard and take back everyone's shadow! Looking at Brooke's determined eyes, Luffy, who was full of seriousness, finally chose to compromise.
Planck, who witnessed all this from the sidelines and also saw Brooke's tangled look in his eyes, suddenly thought of the scene when he and a few of them met Brooke, and the sharp knife wound instantly realized in his heart. "It's good for Frankie to come over, Zoro, you better follow Brooke, we have enough combat power here, and the two of us also have a companion to take care of, right?" Thinking of Luffy's temperament, Planck, who Brooke may also be a future partner, made his own suggestion after turning a corner in his heart.
Looking at Brooke, who was still about to open his mouth to say something, Planck opened his mouth in advance and gagged him, "That's it, Brooke, I know what you're thinking, but as long as we accept you, we won't watch you die, after all, you are already seriously injured, Sauron is measured!" He'll give you a chance, but if you're going to die, he'll do it! ”
"Well, I'm with Mr. Swordsman, thank you Mr. Ghost!" Looking at Planck, who looked kind on the other side, Brooke, who had been struggling for a long time, finally chose to compromise.
"Zoro, hold your knife in hand!" Planck, who persuaded Brooke, finally looked at Sauron and said firmly, although he didn't know how strong the swordsman who slashed Brooke was, but Planck, who was Sauron's opponent who often learned swordsmanship, understood Sauron's desire and strength, so he chose to believe Sauron and bet on Sauron to win without hesitation.
"I see? Planck thanks, I'll come back unscathed with salt and Brooke. Zolon, who instantly understood Planck's intentions, immediately thought of the murderer who slashed Chopper and them, and only someone with such a terrible knife technique would make Planck so fierce.
Although I don't know why Brooke finally agreed to let Zoro go with him, Luffy, who was already standing on the ruins of the church that had been burned to the ground, was still very happy that Brooke accepted their kindness, and the two groups of people who were about to go up and down parted ways here after saying goodbye to each other, Brooke and Zoro were going to the storage room under the tower, and Luffy and they were going to Moria on the top floor to teach the bastard who took away the shadows of others at will.
"Mr. Swordsman, let's go!" Looking at Luffy, Planck and the others who disappeared around the corner of the stairs. Brooke's eyes turned to the bottom of the building again, maybe it was the call from his own shadow, I don't know why, Brooke has always had a voice in his heart telling him that if he wants to end the nightmare he has been wandering here for many years, the opportunity is now under the dark and gloomy staircase. Adjusting to his gradual rapid breathing, Brooke took his first steps into the storeroom.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I've been bored just now, and I've been wondering who the people who will come to this place? But I'm a little disappointed by the answer now revealed, Exploding Head! "Step by step down the stairs. Eventually, after a turn, they come across a double-walled wooden door secured with iron bars, and Brooke and Zoro finally come across the Guardian who is guarding the zombie-killing weapon.
"You are my shadow, we have been together since birth, and we are one and the same! Why can't you come back into my body? It's tormenting the two of us like this, and we all have to live in this dark place, are you satisfied? Although he had expected it, when he saw that it was indeed his own shadow guarding the door, Brooke still couldn't control his emotions and roared.
"Cut, what qualifies me to be a piece of garbage who needs my life to survive, who qualifies me to come back to you? I'm not the shadow of some ridiculous exploding head skeleton now, I'm the resurrected Wano Country Dragon Slayer Sword Hero Ryoma! Exploding head, don't think that you can change the outcome between you and me if you come back with a helper, no matter how much you kneel and beg me for mercy this time, I won't be polite if I spare you poor exploding head, you bastard who betrayed your promise, didn't you promise never to come back if you failed? Coward! Looking at Brooke, who was gradually looking ugly because of his words, the dragon slaying sword Hao Ryoma, who was wearing clogs and a tattered scarf, slowly pulled out the strange knife on his waist.
Looking at the dazzling sword, after losing the snow he got in Rogue Town in the battle of Justice Island, Sauron, who has been only able to mix two knives recently, immediately attributed the ownership of this knife to his own name in his heart. He's a three-sword swordsman!
Feeling Zoro's burning eyes, Ryoma finally shifted his attention from Brooke to Zoro, "Do you want it?" This is a good knife, one of the twenty-one workers of the big fast knife, the blade is chaotic and the blade is reversed, the knife name is Qiushui, as long as you defeat me, it is yours! As if caressing his lover's skin, he slowly removed the black scabbard, held the handle with a checkered pattern, and pulled out the blade with a wavy pattern, Zombie Ryoma pointed his sword at Zoro with a mocking face, and said disdainfully.
"Hmph, autumn water? The twenty-one work of the big fast knife is just worthy of my identity, and I am going to decide on this knife! Irritated by Ryoma's self-indulgent idiot eyes, Zoro slowly put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
"Mr. Swordsman, please give me a chance to decide my own fate, you go to the back warehouse to find salt first, and he will leave it to me! While it's rude to interrupt a duel in which a swordsman fights for his honor, I want to ask you to grant me this ridiculous request! Looking at Brooke, who was looking at him with a face full of longing, Sauron, who had just understood the grievances between Brooke and this dragon slayer, slowly put down his hands on the hilt. I'll go find salt, you can do it quickly, and if you haven't done it when I come back, don't blame me for meddling! ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Swordsman! Our fast sword duel has always been very fast, maybe you're still looking for salt, and I've already entered to look for you! Brooke, who had pacified Zoro, also slowly drew out the rapier in his civilization staff, stared at the zombie Ryoma and spoke.
"Don't be ashamed to speak, and your subordinates dare to speak up bravely?"
"Hmph, this time, I'm gambling my life to fight you!"
"Really? I'm going to have to shave your ridiculous exploding head this time! ”
"Just try, my shadow!"
In the indistinguishable shadow of the sword, the two people who were entangled in grievances and fate collided fiercely in this narrow passage with the same swordsmanship. In this battle, one person will step on the corpse of the other party to the end of victory.
"You don't want to die!" Dropping this strange blessing, a smiling Sauron slashed through the seemingly solid wooden door and walked towards the storeroom. (To be continued.) )
