Chapter Ninety-Three: Detachment

Life and death are only in a moment.

If they can escape this catastrophe, then the future situation will be much more favorable for the Straw Hat Pirates. On the contrary, if you don't succeed in avoiding it... Then for Zoro, there will be nothing to do.

And he has never underestimated Zefa's determination to kill pirates, just as he has never misestimated the strength of the other party!

In that case, how could Sauron easily put himself in a dead end?

…

So far, in addition to the physical fitness bonus brought by Origin Awakening, what he has used in battle is the strength of this body itself. And none of the "pearls" he picked up through the worlds shone with dazzling brilliance.

It's not that he doesn't want to use it, it's just that he's been waiting, waiting for the most appropriate time.

- Now!

Critical transcendence... Initiate!

…

The body leaps into the air. With nothing to draw on, it is difficult for the human body to move as freely as it does on the ground.

Seasoned warriors usually understand this - leaving the ground is usually a disadvantage, except for those who have the ability to fly or have mastered the ability to move out of thin air such as the "moon step". And in this kind of strong duel where any small mistake is enough to win or lose, I'm afraid no one will be willing to bear such a price.

However, there are always exceptions.

In the face of a strong and powerful enemy, it is too difficult to achieve victory without paying any price. With the help of the opportunity just now, Zoro came to help his partner temporarily get rid of the shackles, and secondly, this was also a flaw in deliberately selling.

-- The ferocious viper will only reveal its deadliest seven inches only in the moment it is out of the nest. This principle also applies to Zefa, who has a powerful weapon such as a smashing prosthesis!

Double knife reversal!

The superpower brought by "Criticality" is finally starting to work! The muscles of the strong arms bulged to symbolize the strength of the muscles, and after sending out a slash in the air, they pulled out a strange arc in reverse.

At the same time, the swordsman in mid-air completely twisted his body in half a circle with the strength of his waist and abdomen, and the blade that originally extended outward also changed with the relative position of his body, slashing the blade towards the giant man who was about to deliver a fatal blow to Sauron directly below!

Calm down.

The unfavorable situation of falling from the sky turned around, and in the blink of an eye, it became the power provided to the swordsman to split Huashan. Among the three blades, Qiushui, which was at the bottom, accelerated suddenly, and before he could react, he collided with the mechanical arm!

…

While!

If the swordsman's trick of flying into the sky with the help of "smashing prosthetics" just now was soft and ingenious, then the current blow is undoubtedly a symbol of rigidity and fierceness!

The collision between steel and steel burst out with dazzling sparks, and the heavy shattering prosthetic limb grabbed towards the swordsman with overwhelming momentum, but it was unbelievable that the long knife that was so fragile and slender in comparison actually suppressed the former by half a point while colliding with it!

Even if the previous change of tricks beyond the limits of the human body borrowed the potential energy of falling from a high altitude, this terrifying power was still far beyond the old man's expectations... Before the old man who could react could not increase his strength, the second famous knife wrapped in ghostly qi had already collided with the sturdy iron hand again.

While!

The swift slashing weapon didn't look like a sharp sword at all, but more like a heavy and terrifying sledgehammer! The shocking muffled sound seemed to knock directly on Zefa's heart, and the momentum that was originally held in his chest was removed, and his hands were unable to resist the huge force of the oncoming slash.

With a "bang", the Hailou Stone weapon, which had given the Straw Hats a headache from the beginning, was forced to deviate from the original direction by the swordsmen, and was planted straight towards the deck!

While!!!

The final blow is also the one that determines the success or failure!

The unstoppable force suddenly erupted on the surface of the shattering prosthetic, and as a result, the heavy weapon had completely changed its initial forward angle, slammed into the ground in the exact opposite direction, and finally embedded itself in the hard deck...

At this point, the ferocious three-stage attack is over.

Zefa, who was bruised in the eye of his right arm, chose to retreat for the first time since the start of the war, and the swordsman, who looked like a demon, did not choose to pursue.

Don't look at him, it doesn't seem to take much effort to repel the old man head-on. In fact, when he couldn't use his power perfectly, he was so "reckless", and the damage caused to his body by the outbreak just now was probably above the old man.

… At this moment, the right arm that had just collided with the old man was still trembling slightly, and he could barely hold the sword in his hand.

"Teacher!"

"Zoro!"

The two sides were on the verge of separation, and after each welcomed back his partner, the situation on the ship suddenly reached a stalemate.

Luffy and his party were paying attention to the old man with some fear, but Zefa didn't mean to underestimate this group of young people.

"Retreat."

After weighing it up repeatedly, Zefa finally gave such an order. After all, the fleet still carries an important "dynamite rock", and although this battle did not take much advantage, after all, the ship itself has been destroyed, and there is no risk of being pursued by the other side if it breaks away immediately.

On the contrary, if you have to fight to the death here, let alone whether you can win it smoothly in the end, even if you really defeat this powerful pirate group, I am afraid you will have to pay a heavy price. Even in case something goes wrong with the "dynamite rock", their plan to sabotage the endpoint will be implicated.

…

Anyway, if you can successfully complete the combat objective, the entire new world will be in flames, so why waste time here and worry about the gains and losses of a city.

"Let all the ships fire at this ship, leaving only the direction to the west for the other side to leave!"

Gently commanding Ain, Zefa looked back at the guarded young men again, and unconsciously, he showed a cruel smile.

"I'm Z, the founder of the new navy, so try to survive, 'One Piece'!"

His gaze shifted from the straw hat that had once belonged to Gore D. Roger, and then landed on the swordsman with whom he had briefly fought, and Zefa's smile widened.

"And the bizarre swordsman!"
