Zoro, sixteen years old, went to sea for his first actual combat. The target was the colonel of the Navy Headquarters and a smoke fruit user, Smoker.
"Can that guy really defeat that Marine?"
Granu chewed a grape in her mouth and said incoherently.
Although her fighting ability is not very good, she still has good eyesight. After all, she followed Doflamingo step by step to the new world.
There is a huge gap in combat power between Sauron and Smoker.
No amount of passion can make up for it.
Xili never thought that Sauron could defeat Smoker, at least this battle was unlikely.
"Both his experience and his own combat power are too different. Defeat? You are too polite. I'm afraid he can't even hurt the opponent."
Xili shook his head and said bluntly.
"Then why did you let Zoro fight that cigarette man?"
Sugar asked in confusion.
"Zoron is different from others. The greater the pressure, the greater the potential that can be forced out. Failure in the first battle is not a bad thing."
Xili looked at the square below expressionlessly.
Although he had admitted that Zoro would be defeated, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if he could win?
…
In the Execution Square, the battle between Sauron and Smoker continues.
When the navy stationed in Rogge Town saw Smoker taking action, they immediately blocked all entrances and exits to the square and isolated the area.
The two of them were focused on nothing during the battle. They could only see each other's figures, and they had only one target in their hands.
That is to defeat the opponent!
Swish, swish, swish!
On the execution square, two figures, one green and one white, kept crossing each other, and every confrontation must go all out.
"Isn't this okay?"
Sonorous!
Smoker knocked Sauron away with a heavy blow, "It seems that I thought highly of you. I thought it would be different if you could stay with the Bull Demon King."
Zoro, who was holding the word "Hedao" in his mouth, spat secretly and stepped on the ground with his legs, dragging out two long scratches and forcing himself to stop.
Zoro is not good at talking nonsense, and he hates nonsense.
Since it's a battle, let the sword in your hand do the talking.
Buzz!!!
As if responding to Zoro's inner voice, the three swords made a low hum.
Zoro stood firm and took a lunge, taking the three-sword style posture, lowering his legs like springs, and then quickly accumulated strength.
Whoosh!
Sauron, who was whipped away again and again, did not show any intention of flinching, and his body rushed straight towards Smoker like an arrow from a string.
"Santo-ryu·Tora Hunting!"
The tiger-striped slash instantly penetrated Smoker's body, but this time Zoro's armament-colored domineering energy was not attached to the sword.
Smoker's fragmented body was re-condensed, and he escaped the slashing attack with the elemental form of nature, unscathed.
"Hey, I still haven't completely grasped it!"
Zoro gritted his teeth and quickly turned around to catch the ten hands smashed by Smoker who turned into white smoke.
After all, Zoro's exposure to dual-color Haki was only a short period of time, and it only took half a month to fully play.
Being able to use Armament Haki to empower weapons from time to time is already very remarkable and can be called a genius among geniuses.
But when facing Smoker, Sauron was not satisfied with himself.
Seeing Sauron becoming more and more passive as he fought, Xili couldn't stand it any longer. He stood at the window on the second floor and gathered his strength and spoke loudly.
"Are you stupid? Grab his weapon, there is a sea stone on his weapon!"
Upon hearing this, Sauron was stunned for a moment and then his eyes flashed with energy, full of evil aura like a wild beast out of its cage.
Smoker, on the other hand, froze up and almost threw away the ten hands in his hand.
The bystanders didn't notice who was shouting from the window, but how could he not know.
That guy is the Bull Demon King!
The main reason why Zoro couldn't defeat Smoker was because Zoro was not yet proficient in his armament and Haki. But if he grabbed the ten hands from Smoker, the result would be hard to predict.
Smoker's weapon contains parts of the Sea Tower Stone. The Sea Tower Stone is the crystallization of the sea. It possesses the breath of the sea and can restrain all abilities.
Zoro is not an esper, but a pure swordsman.
Smoker suddenly felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. Why would he use a seastone weapon to fight a swordsman?
Sauron did not hesitate, Smog's natural elementalization made him suffer a lot.
He quickly rushed towards Smoker with steady steps, and this time the target of the attack was not Smoker's body, but the weapon in Smoker's hand!
"That bastard..."
Smoker was not afraid of Sauron, but he wanted to understand Xili's intention.
He actually used him as a whetstone to train his subordinates!
At this moment, Smoker also realized. With the Bull Demon King himself here, how could he capture the members of the Bull Demon King Pirates?
Sonorous!
The ten hands held Zoro's three-sword style, Smoker raised his foot and kicked it out vigorously, Zoro quickly closed his sword to block it.
boom!
A huge force burst out between the two of them, and Smoker and Zoro instantly distanced themselves.
"The fighting ends here! I will catch you next time we meet!"
Smoker dropped a word and immediately turned into a ball of white smoke and flew away over the tall building.
Sauron wanted to chase him, but in the blink of an eye, Smoker disappeared.
You can't catch up if you chase.
He slowly put away the three swords.
To be fair, even if he grabbed the opponent's weapon, the battle was still difficult. Zoro turned and walked towards the restaurant with an expressionless face.
"It's the other party that's running away. What the hell are you looking at with such a dejected look on your face?"
Seely looked at Sauron strangely and asked.
Zoro shook his head without saying anything and sat down on the empty seat beside him.
Smoker ran away because of Seeli. He felt that even if he defeated Sauron, he would not be able to arrest Sauron.
And beating up the members of the Bull Demon King Pirates in front of the Bull Demon King, isn't that asking for abuse?
Smoker stabbed some people in the head, but he was not a brainless person.
"Smog's combat effectiveness is not weak. Because of his natural fruit ability, he is almost invincible in the world and in the first half."
"But it's not impossible to deal with him. Armed Haki and Hailou Stone are the most effective methods."
"Excluding Smoker's natural ability, his physical skills are not weak either."
"Don't think too much. You won't become fat after one bite."
Seeli was very optimistic about Sauron's potential and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
A beautiful figure flashed in Zoro's mind, and he recalled his two thousand and one defeats at the Shinshin Dojo.
Does he seem to be losing all the time in his life?
He doesn't want to lose.
"I won't lose again until I become the world's greatest swordsman."
Zoro clenched his fist and then released his palm.
His expression was very calm, but his tone was very firm. He seemed to be talking to Seeli, to himself, and to his friends in heaven.
This sentence contains the infinite faith in Sauron's heart and the agreement he made with his friends.
Xi Li raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Although the promise is very passionate, the reality is very skinny!
