Chapter 18: The Dust Settles
"Luffy, Zoro!"
Usopp endured the pain and straightened up again. "I'm a brave warrior of the sea! With that, Usopp raised his slingshot and aimed at the ordinary pirates who were still shocked by Chloe's appearance.
"Lead Star Bullet: Burst!"
"Poof!poof!poof......" One by one, the pirates were hit in the head by Usopp's buckshot and fell to the ground.
"You bunch of waste, you still want me to go out in person!" Chloe saw that Luffy Zoro was not simple, and was ready to take matters into his own hands, just in case.
"Zoro, go ahead, don't kill him in seconds, and slowly induce him. ”
"OK, Luffy. Zoro showed a look of curiosity, obviously he didn't see the slightest threat from Chloe's body, but Luffy said that Chloe had something interesting, what was it?
"Usopp, I'll help you block them, and you'll use your remote to kill them, such a simple thing should be done, right?"
Luffy stepped forward and beat back the pirates who were about to rush up, but he didn't knock down any of the pirates, just to create more experience monsters for Usopp, because of Nami's affairs, Luffy's reserves have been exhausted, and Usopp's current combat power is simply a minion type in the pirates, and Usopp must be made stronger as soon as possible, otherwise Usopp may be even more inferior.
"No problem. Lead: Burst!"
"Poof!poof......" The pirates fell one after another, but Usopp kept attacking, and became more and more energetic.
"Haha......" Seeing Usopp's level getting higher and higher, and his combat power getting stronger and stronger, Luffy kept laughing in his heart, blocking one pirate after another rushing upwards.
On the other side of the slope, the sharp blades attached to Cloe's ten fingers continued to stab at Sauron, but every time he was about to be hit, Sauron could cut the blade narrowly and dangerously.
"You're the pirate hunter Sauron, right? You can block my attacks, but you don't think you'll be able to drag your accomplices to kill the pirates and help you, right?" Chloe kept attacking, and then kept attacking Sauron with words as if he had seen everything, in a vain attempt to defeat Sauron's strong defenses using mental tactics.
Chloe's attack continued to accelerate, but to his shock, Zoro was able to block his attack every time, "Damn! Brother Catman, come out of for me!" Chloe had no way to quickly resolve the battle, and he didn't want the Catman Pirates to be completely eliminated by Luffy and affect his future plans, so he had to call out the Catman Brothers who were guarding the pirate ship.
"Captain Chloe, are you calling us?" Two pirates, one fat and one skinny, with cat ears, appeared at the bow of the pirate ship.
"You bunch of trash, hurry up and get rid of the two of them for me. Chloe said with a look of disgust, and the speed of the attack on his hand increased again.
"Captain Chloe, don't talk nonsense......," said the fat catman.
"You...... How dare you call us weak......" The Skinny Cat Man continued. "You're really good......"
"But that was three years ago...... When you're living in this village, we're not idle!"
"That's right, we've attacked several towns and defeated several pirates......"
"What do you want to say?" Chloe asked as he looked back from his time to attack.
"Is there infighting?" Usopp said after overhearing their conversation.
"Don't be distracted, attack quickly!" Luffy didn't want Usopp to be distracted by something to slow down the upgrade speed, now in Luffy's panel, Usopp's combat power has reached 1W4, and the upgrade speed is getting slower and slower.
"Do you think you've been fishing for three years and still be able to defeat us in [Brother Catman]?"
"We're not going to work for you that easily!"
The two catmen ignored Luffy and Usopp and rushed straight towards Chloe.
"Poof!poof!" twice, before the cat-man brothers rushed in front of Luffy, they were kicked back by Luffy. "Please don't ignore us, okay?" Luffy said flatly. This kind of high-experience monster can't be wasted, enemies of this level are no longer of much use to Luffy Zoro, but they are indispensable nutrients for Usopp who has just entered the path of upgrading.
"Zoro, use a little force!" Seeing that Chloe didn't look like he wanted to exert all his strength, Luffy decided to put pressure on him.
"Bang!" Chloe, who had shown his advantage just now, was suddenly knocked into the nearby mountain wall by Sauron.
"I've been holding back for a long time, what's so interesting!" Sauron said impatiently, walking towards Chloe.
"Ahem...... I didn't expect you to be able to launch such a strong attack!" Chloe was hit hard by this blow, he didn't expect that just the collision of knives and knives would be beaten like this.
"Looks like this is going to have to be used! It's the trick that has allowed me to escape death threats many times. Chloe began to shake her hands from side to side.
"Huh, is it a funny move?" Zoro watched Chloe's performance curiously, not interfering at all.
"Zoro, after experiencing such a battle, let's kill him!" Luffy shouted to Zoro.
"Damn! you're so arrogant!" Chloe prepared for a long time, and finally came up with a move that even he couldn't control.
"Bang, bang!", what Zoro didn't expect was that he didn't receive any attacks when he was about to take it, but scratches continued to appear on the walls and land around him.
"Bang! bang......"
"I see!" Looking at the scratches that kept appearing around him, Zoro knew what Luffy had shown him, "What a super fast speed!" Zoro finally put on an expression of interest.
"Take it!" Under the influence of the spoon, Chloe could see the target he was attacking, although he didn't know the direction of his next attack.
Just as Sauron was about to be attacked, Sauron made a strange move, tilting the two knives in his hand slightly forward.
"Three Knife Streams, [Tiger Hunting]"
"Poof............
Chloe, who was no longer visible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared, and three scars suddenly appeared on his chest, constantly stabbing blood outward, as if he was being attacked by a fierce beast.
With a "tom ......", Chloe, who was standing, fell to the ground.
"Huh...... Whew, this kind of speed! It's really hard to deal with!" Zoro gasped and looked at his hands blankly, the moment he killed Chloe, Zoro suddenly felt that his strength had become stronger, and the energy consumed by fighting against Chloe somehow recovered all at once.
"Hehe, how about Zoro?" Luffy, who had just finished his work on the side, ignored the equally dazed Usopp and came to Zoro's side, "Can you handle this speed?"
"Huh~ It should be no problem now, although it is very fast, but the trajectory can still be seen clearly. Sauron put his knife into its scabbard.
"Oh, if it wasn't easy, I wouldn't have had such a hard time!" Luffy looked at Chloe who fell to the ground and said: "On the great voyage, the elite of the navy will learn a set of body-based moves, this set of moves is divided into 6 parts, which they call [Navy Six Styles], one of which is called [Shaving], and those who learn this move can control the direction at will to move at high speed, and the person who masters this move will perform several times faster than the speed you see today!" Luffy told Zoro in advance about the enemy moves he was about to face.
Hearing Luffy's words, Zoro was completely stunned, and the hand on the handle of the knife kept trembling, "I didn't expect that there was such a powerful character on the sea." ’
And Luffy's last sentence really scared Zoro, "And even if you master the Navy Six, you can't be considered a character at all in the second half of the Great Voyage, you can only be regarded as a powerful minion." ”
Seeing the horror in Zoro's eyes, Luffy patted Zoro's shoulder and said, "Hurry up and get stronger! I need you to help me dominate this sea! Become stronger, come and help me sweep away all the enemies, Zoro!"
Zoro looked at Luffy's expectant gaze at him, and clenched the handle of the sword with his hand, "My goal is the number one swordsman, and I think this level should be worthy of the crew of the One Piece." ”
"Hahahaha! Of course, Usopp don't be in a daze. Luffy woke up Usopp, who was frightened by the sudden increase in nearly 3x his strength.
At this moment, Chloe, who had fallen to the ground, turned his head with great effort and said, "Ahem...... It's useless, Zangao has already gone to hypnotize Miss Keya! As long as Zangao succeeds, and Anya commits suicide after making a will, the wealth of the Keya family will rightfully belong to me, haha...... Ahem, ahem!"
Chloe has not given up yet, looking forward to the successful completion of Zangao's plan, but unfortunately, it backfired.
"Is he the one you are talking about?"
With a "poof", Zangao was thrown to the ground covered in blood, followed by Nami, Koya, and the three imps.
