Chapter 426: Life Is No More Than Swords and Wine (Subscription Requested)
In the worst of times, the news that Eustace Kidd, one of the original supernovas, challenged the red-haired Shanks of the Four Emperors to defeat him, spread unstoppably throughout the sea at a rapid speed.
This is like a stick, hitting the heads of the most evil eras, so that this group of lawless, even if they enter the sea ruled by the Four Emperors, the 'young pirates' who are still clamoring directly quiet, as if they have agreed, hibernate again, waiting for the next opportunity to appear on the world stage.
At the moment when Kidd's news of the confrontation with the redheads set off a storm in the entire New World, a certain green algae head is still learning from Zu'an, upgrading and fighting monsters while climbing relationships.
The No. 1 Training Arena of Zuan, also known as the Royal Arena, can only be allowed to be used only with the consent of King Kaido of Zuan, and it is said that many famous masters of Zuan are trained from this arena.
The more famous, representative figure is Zuan's princess Yamato, although she hasn't used it a few times, because of Yamato's powerful destructive power, she was forced to suspend by Kaido and let her go to the desert island to exercise......
At this time, as if inherited, the man who succeeded a group of strong men from Zu'an, and struggled to sweat in this arena was the pirate hunter known as Nonoroa Zoro, a man who aimed to be the world's number one swordsman, constantly surpassing himself and climbing upward.
"Are you ready, Zoro?"
On the training ground, standing opposite Zoro is the user with the Bull Cow Fruit Demon Costume, the eldest brother of Haixia Jinping, the legendary hero of the Fish-Man Race, Fisher Tiger.
At this time, he looked at Nonoroa Zoro who was standing opposite him with a relaxed face, half a year had passed since he and Zoro had fought for the first time, and in this half year, he and Solo had fought for an unknown number of times, and the winner was him every time, without exception.
"Today! Today was my first win. โ
"With my latest mysteries! Defeat you completely! โ
Zoro struck a three-knife pose and stared at Fisher Tiger earnestly.
In the past six months, he constantly challenged Fisher Tiger, and then kept failing, and after each failure, Sauron would ask himself, what is his shortcomings? What exactly can't be fought against Fisher Tiger? After failing again and again, becoming stronger again and again, and surpassing his limits again and again, Zoro finally realized, and it took him half a year to finally realize this nirvana.
And today, it is the moment for him to take revenge on Fisher Tiger, and use his latest mystery to tell Fisher Tiger that he has become stronger!
"Hahaha...... Beat me? โ
"I'm really looking forward to it~"
Fisher Tiger spoke, white heat began to bubble from his body, and the metal arm turned into an endless liquid, enveloping it in an instant, and then a huge metal cow appeared in front of Zoro's eyes.
"Moo~"
The bull's strong forelimbs kept digging into the ground, and streams of white heat erupted from the metal bull's watermelon-sized nostrils, and that wasn't all!
In the next second, the metal giant bull turned into a metal minotaur with a height of more than five meters and a bare chest, the naked upper body of the minotaur was depicted with a strange tattoo like a devil fruit pattern, and the silver skin of the minotaur slowly darkened and darkened, as if a layer of heavy black armor was applied, and the most fatal thing was to count the top of the minotaur's head, exuding an endless chill of more than two meters of sharp horns, accompanied by the pitch-black armor on his body, giving people a feeling that even if the mountain was in front of this minotaur, will be knocked away.
"It's coming!"
"Moo moo!!"
The metal minotaur roared and bent down, his arms gripping the ground tightly, and then like a cannonball, it catapulted out, turning into a silver-black light and shadow, and rushed towards Sauron.
"Three knife streams! Super Mystic Ox Chop! โ
Sauron's arms bulged twice visibly, the green tendons on his forehead crumbled tightly, and the three katanas of Musashi's domineering style flowed slowly, and in the past half a year, he had completely mastered the skills of Liuying.
"Bump!"
With the sound of the sky collapsing, Zoro and the metal minotaur collided directly, and the rolling waves of qi spread out towards the two of them in the center.
"Hmmm......"
Sauron's three knives held the two horns of the minotaur, and his body slowly moved backwards, carving two deepening ravines in the land, and he still seemed to be inferior to the minotaur in strength.
"It's not over yet!"
Sauron bit his katana lip and moved slightly, his hoarse voice roaring out of his throat, and his feet, already deep in the dirt, stopped.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
"What?"
Feeling the powerful power coming from his feet, Fisher Tiger's expression trembled, and his pupils were full of shock, you must know that at this time he was in the form of a man and a beast, and the other party actually fought a tie with him in the form of a man and a beast?
"Nope! Wrong! The other party's power is still increasing?! โ
"I'm going to lose?"
Fisher Tiger felt the tremendous power coming from above his head, and his expression changed suddenly.
"Fly for me!"
The next moment, with a shout from Zoro, Fisher Tiger flew directly into the sky, but it wasn't over yet.
"Three Knife Flow, Taoyuan Three Ten Punches!"
Zoro watched as Fisher Tiger, a minotaur flying high and without a force point, slashed out his improved version of the Taoyuan Ten Punches.
"Huh~"
I saw that the three slashes slashed at the abdomen of the minotaur Tiger, forming a triangle, and when viewed from the three directions of the three horns, a cross can be formed in each direction, which is the origin of the name of Sauron's move.
"Boom~"
Sauron's back to Fisher Tiger, who had fallen from the air, and slowly tucked the three katanas into their scabbards.
"Hmph~"
"Thank you for the advice!"
Sauron laughed mightily as he felt the vibration in his ears.
"Ahem~"
"When did you become so powerful?"
Fisher Tiger who fell from the sky directly transformed from human and animal form into ordinary form, he gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and vigorously covered the wound on his abdomen that was still bleeding, a little puzzled that Sauron's strength would become so powerful.
"Who knows this~"
"But I can't be weak all the time, can I?"
"O human! It's always accompanied by countless failures, and it gets stronger and stronger, doesn't it? โ
Zoro turned around and smiled as he looked at Fisher Tiger as he had been slumped on the ground in his first battle with Fisher Tiger and coughing up blood.
"I'm really convinced!"
"I said Peggy Wan, why don't you want to fight you, you ...... It's a monster! Given time, it is estimated that it can really be compared with the pinnacle of combat power in the world, right? โ
"Maybe for you, becoming the world's number one swordsman is really more than just a dream."
"Me! Lost, convinced. โ
Fisher Tiger slowly rose from the ground, the bleeding from the wound on his abdomen cut by Sauron had stopped as he spoke.
"Your resilience is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Zoro looked at Fisher Teg's wound that began to heal, and shook his head gently, he couldn't accept the recovery ability of the animal-based ability, so it was very simple to temporarily divide the victory and defeat by fighting with the animal-based ability, and it was very difficult to win in the real sense.
"It's not that I'm resilient, it's that he's resilient, I'm just a beneficiary."
Fisher Tiger waved his prosthetic leg, Wabo metal has a strange ability to combine metal and flesh, it can be said that it is a group of near-miracle metals.
"I always feel like I've won too much, whether it's you or Peggywan, I haven't really been able to win against any of you."
Sauron moved his exhausted muscles and shook his head at Fisher Tiger, he wasn't happy to have defeated Fisher Tiger, on the contrary, Zoro knew he was still a long way from the strongest.
"Be happy, young man, you have to know that you're only 20 years old now, and my God, do you know how weak I was when I was 20? I'm at my peak now, and I won't be strong for a long time, no, maybe in a few decades even I'm a fish-man will start to get weaker, and your journey to becoming stronger has just begun! Keep going! Zoro! I'm very optimistic about you! โ
Fisher Tiger slapped Sauron's shoulder a few times, he was really optimistic about Zoro's future.
"How long has it been? It's already ready to be alive? Sure enough, the resilience of animal-based abilities is all monster-level. โ
Zoro secretly sighed in his heart, the next time he encounters the enemy of the animal ability, he must not defeat the other party, and he must go up to make up for the sword, otherwise the other party will stand up and continue to fight with him.
"Let's go, go to a bar?"
Fisher Tiger asked, putting his arm around Zoro's shoulder.
"If you think your wound is okay, go ahead!"
Although Sauron usually drinks after being injured, people are different, so he still reminded Fisher Tiger.
"No problem, wine is the best healing medicine!"
Fisher Tiger didn't care, he didn't pay attention to this little injury on his body at all.
"Then let's go, call Kojiro instantly."
Zoro bowed his head slightly, suggesting.
"That's right, it's called Kojiro Kamizuki! If you don't have a comedian, you won't be able to enjoy it. โ
Fisher Tiger agrees with Zoro very much, drinking is such a thing, the more friends the better.
Zuan Palace, although the palace is composed of white bricks and stones, it looks very monotonous, and there are not too many decorations outside the palace, but because Kaido lives here, in the eyes of the people of Zuan, it is still sacred and brilliant.
In the deepest part of the palace, behind the nearly 100-ton iron gate, was Kaido's office and residence.
The place where Kaido stayed, the whole was built in the form of a suite, because Kaido did not have any requirements for these aspects, so the style of construction is still simple, even if it will be renovated every few years, but the simple style of the theme has been maintained until now.
Although Kaido's usual food and clothing are not simple, but because the appearance of the palace and residence are all announced to the masses by the newspaper, in the eyes of the people, Kaido has always been a thrifty and thrifty king to the extreme, which is like some rich people who rival the country, always deliberately pose in public to take some civilian photos, for everyone to enjoy is a reason.
At this time, the king, who was extremely frugal in the eyes of the people, was enjoying the massage of the maids in the banquet hall while watching the dancers dance, and his table was filled with the masterpieces of the master of dim sum and the special fruits that can only be produced from all over the world.
"Your Majesty Kaido, just now your disciple, Roronoa Sauron, defeated Fisher Tiger, who shot with all his might!"
Just as Kaido was enjoying himself, a black figure walked up to Kaido's table, knelt down on one knee, and reported on Zoro's situation.
"Your Majesty Kaido, your vision is really good, in just one year, your disciple has defeated Peggy Wan and Mr. Fisher Tiger successively, this talent makes people a little envious~"
Black Maria, who was sitting under Kaido and holding the shamisen and playing gently, gently licked the corners of her mouth after hearing what the intelligence officer said, she was indeed envious of Zoro's talent.
"Hahaha......"
"Zoro's talent for that little ghost is really good, but it's still far away~ When he is training for a while, I will go into battle and hand over the last thing to him, and then it will be the most interesting time."
Kaido smiled lightly after listening to Black Maria's words, Zoro's talent is indeed unmatched, and it is a sure thing that he will become the world's number one swordsman in time.
"Is it really good for you to just give away this kind of combat power? I've heard that he doesn't want to stay in Zaun forever, and I hear that he still wants to be with his captain, I think it's called ...... Monchi S. D. Luffy's imps sail together, is this really okay? โ
Black Maria's hands were constantly moving, a few slender fingers, dancing lightly on the shamisen, and the strange sound of the instrument came to Kaido's ears along with her question.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't want Zoro to help me so quickly, let him go and play with the dragon's son, but even if it's One Piece Gore ยท D. Roger's trip will also have an end day, and the trip of the Straw Hat Boy and his companions will of course have an end day, and when the time comes, when the Straw Hats are disbanded, Sauron is destined to return here. โ
"Zoro is a natural swordsman, in addition to his dreams, what he needs most in his life is only the sword and wine, Zuan has the best sword and the strongest wine, Sauron can't do without this in his life."
Kaido took the bowl in his hand and drank it down, he wasn't worried about Zoro at all, according to his plan, the Straw Hats' journey would end sooner than the other party imagined.
