Chapter 149 Sukuna!

Stupid!
A wall of fire was instantly split into two, and the body of a huge rhino zombie was split into two halves.

"Tsk, I actually let something like this take away my shadow."

Zoro glanced at the fallen zombie with disdain. Just as he was about to put away his knife, he suddenly became alert and shifted his gaze behind the wall of fire.

"Three Swords Style, Hundred Eight Trouble Phoenix!"

A flying slash came towards him like a bluebird circling, and Zoro reacted immediately by raising his two swords and crossing them in front of his chest.

Clang! !

Zizi! Sparks continued to fly out. The force of this slash was so great that his two swords kept trembling. He raised the corners of his mouth and exerted force again.

Bang! The blue bird seemed to be shattered, and turned into dots of blue light and disappeared in the air.

"It seems that you are my shadow."

Zoro flipped backwards a few times and landed on the ground. He untied the headscarf tied around his arm, tied it behind his forehead, and looked at the person who came with interest.

The zombie's moves were the same as its original owner's, and judging by the power of the slash just now, the opponent's strength was not much different from his.

"Defeating yourself sounds interesting, Yingbo!"

Stupid!
Zoro's eyes darkened, he swung his sword through the air and then bit the Do Ichimonji in his mouth, then rushed forward with three swords at the same time!
The samurai in kimono jumped to avoid the large-scale horizontal slash, and also drew out three swords from the air, holding the two swords with both hands backwards and biting down like the fangs of a wild beast.

Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew when the cold blades collided. Zoro used his left arm to swing the sword away and twisted his body, slashing horizontally with Kawayu Ichimonji and Xuezou in parallel.

"Are you my original owner? If you are defeated by an imposter like me, then I have surpassed you."

Longma pressed down the Qiu Shui in his hand, used the force to flip forward, dodged the attack while swinging several swords, and then slowly landed on the ground.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
The cutting waves were like the moon, flying away densely and rapidly!
Clang! Clang!
Zizi! Zoro swung his sword quickly to break the attack, and finally used force to throw the slash aside.

"Haha, then you can try it."

The two men faced each other with a distance of more than ten meters between them, staring into each other's eyes. The air around them seemed to be frozen, filled with a murderous aura.

Suddenly, the two figures paused and disappeared at the same time, their feet stomping on the ground continuously and approaching at a very fast speed, as if drawing two beams of light, one blue and one white, in space.

Clang! !

The moment Zoro and Ryuma met, a strong hurricane as sharp as a knife blew violently in all directions from them as the center, and the next moment.

Stupid! !

Stupid! !

The entire ground was cut by the blades in an instant, leaving countless smooth blocks of earth floating in the air. Two of them were fighting fiercely with their long swords, leaving afterimages.

Time seemed to slow down, and everything around seemed to stand still, with only Zoro and Ryuma left in the center.

Clang! Clang! Clang.
The flashes of swords and sabers rose up at a high speed!
The two figures dodged and moved, and six black knives were swung one after another, constantly colliding with each other and then quickly separating.

Dodging, attacking, blocking, counterattacking, the fierceness of the duel between swordsmen was fully displayed at this time.

Amidst the flying sparks, a flying slash would occasionally appear.

"That's Zoro's shadow, right?"

Not far away, Nami and her companions had just finished a battle and were immediately attracted by the fierce fighting.

"The strength of that zombie is too amazing."

Franky was secretly shocked and said solemnly: "To be able to use Zoro's shadow to the point of competing with him, that corpse must be no ordinary person."

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Hogbag's body trembled as he laughed triumphantly, "That's Longma. If you knew his past deeds, you wouldn't say that."

"Ryoma, is he the swordsman in the legend who once killed a flying dragon with one sword?" Robin on the side suddenly spoke up, but she had only heard of this name.

"That's right!"

Hogbak called out, apparently he had heard more relevant information from Moria.

“There is a country of samurai in the New World. In its most glorious period hundreds of years ago, it was even called the [Golden Country].
“Pirates and treasure-hunting groups from all over the world have set their sights on that place, including even the world’s nobles;

"Countless strong men have come one after another, constantly attacking this country, and showing their powerful strength unscrupulously."

Hogbak cast his gaze towards the warriors fighting fiercely in the field and said slowly:
"Just when the country was about to be destroyed, a man appeared.
"Swordsman Ryoma, with one man and one sword, guards the entire Wano Country, repels all invading enemies, and lets the world know about the existence of samurai."

"You can defend the entire country by yourself?!"

Everyone was obviously shocked, just because the other party just mentioned a word!
【World Nobles!!】

Of course they knew what the world nobility was. They were the bloodlines of the twenty kings who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago and they were the privileged class that dominated the World Government.

The people who are above this world and hold the highest status, [Descendants of the Creator - Celestial Dragons!!]

"That's right. Longma left behind countless legends throughout his life." Hogbak continued:
"It is said that he has never been defeated in his life. He can defeat any powerful enemy with one sword. When he was young, he killed a flying dragon that appeared in the sky above the capital with one sword.
"After his death, his reputation still protected Wano Country for hundreds of years, and he was worshipped as the [Sword God] by later generations. The sword he carried when he was young, the Black Sword Shusui, is enshrined in that country as a national treasure."

"I didn't expect the other party to be a person of this level."

Robin couldn't help but sigh that those who could leave legends in the long river of history were all people who were famous throughout the world during their lifetime and stood at the top of this ocean.

"So strong. But how did you get his body? No matter how strong the body is, it should have turned to ashes after hundreds of years." Chopper couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Reiner also thought of it. When Brook introduced him to them before, he said that after his soul returned, he was lost in this sea for a year, and when he found his body, only a skeleton was left.

As for Longma, he lived hundreds of years ago. He has been dead for so long that he should have turned into ashes long ago.

After being confused, Chopper looked at the other person and suddenly became angry, and punched him!
"Asshole, you don't deserve to be called a doctor!"

boom!boom!
"Ouch! It hurts, stop it, you bastard!"

Hogbak held his head with both hands, almost crying out of pain. He glared at Chopper fiercely, but when he realized he couldn't beat him, he shrank his neck and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"The body was stolen by Lord Moria more than 20 years ago! I don't know the details, I only joined ten years ago! As for the other question."

Hogbak paused, then continued, “When I took over from him, I was also amazed by this. The people of Wano Country seemed to have used some special means to preserve this body.

"Although the vitality of the body has been greatly reduced and is no longer as good as it was when the other person was alive, the body is still relatively intact and has not completely decayed."

Reiner had a rough idea about this. It didn't matter if his physique was weak. He could just find a swordsman with a strong body to merge with later. Golden Lion or Rayleigh would be good.

By then, a super strong man will be in his hands, and he will have one more trump card in the war. This is his last preparation in this war.

Otherwise, in a war of that level, Reiner's current strength will not be stable. I wonder if Oz can give another surprise.

"By the way, I have one last question for you."

Reiner glanced at Hogback. He remembered that the other party had a maid who hated dishes. For some reason, she didn't seem to be here, but it didn't matter.

“You have been transforming corpses here for ten years, dealing with zombies all the time. Have you noticed anything unusual? Logically, the behavior of zombies depends entirely on the shadows;
"But they occasionally behave in ways that are not consistent with Shadow's personality. For others, forget about it, but since you are a doctor, you should have paid attention to this."

"What do you mean?" Nami looked at him in confusion.

Chopper's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked fiercely at Hobgobak. He suddenly thought of a question!
Does the body carry the will? !
From a medical point of view, this is simply impossible!

The reason why Reiner noticed this was because he remembered a very touching plot in the original work, the performance of Sindoli, the maid zombie who hated plates.

Moriah can make a contract with the shadow so that the shadow cannot disobey his orders. This is the ability of the devil fruit, but!
However, Xin Duoli's body began to defy the shadow!

Hogbag stared at him blankly and fell silent. He didn't know how to start.

Zombies do occasionally exhibit strange behaviors. For example, some zombies will remember a little bit of the corpse's memories before death and say things that are completely different from their usual behavior style, which makes him very confused.

Because it’s totally unscientific!
He even looked up information specifically back then, but could not find any evidence in any book to confirm this!

"I think I understand what you mean. I don't have an answer to this question either."

Hogbak paused, showing a serious expression, and said in a deep voice:
“Phenomenon-wise, zombies will gain some of the body’s memories, but so far there has been no case of the body disobeying the shadow;
"So, it's possible that there are some memories left in the body, but I'm not sure whether there is will."

“The sea is just amazing.”

Chopper couldn't help but sigh. He had studied medicine for so long, and from the time he met Brook here until now, everything he saw and heard was different from his previous understanding.

Although Reiner was also surprised, he was still a little calmer. Since he went out to sea, he had deeply felt that this was a world where all fantasies came true.

If the giants, dwarfs, and mermaids can still be considered understandable, then the Lunalia tribe is not scientific at all.

Somewhere in this world, there might be a mythical beast, the Human-Human Fruit - a devil fruit in the form of Lunalia.

He wouldn't be surprised if vampires, undead, or demons appeared in the future.

Hmm? What's in my mind? It should be the elves, the beast-eared people, and the angels.

"It looks like the battle over there is about to be decided."

A voice suddenly came from behind them. It was Sanji who had just returned from the battle. He exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Zoro, saying with disdain:

"Tsk, that green algae-head is so slow. It takes so long to kill a zombie. I even got the skeleton's shadow back."

"Yohohohoho~~, thank you very much."

Brooke tilted his body and popped his head out, laughing: "I have never been in such a good mood as today, even though I am a skeleton and don't have a heart, yo roo roo roo~~."

Now only Zoro and Usopp are left, on the battlefield in the open space.
Clang!
Four pitch-black blades, two horizontal and two vertical, formed a tic-tac-toe, and collided with each other to splash sparks.

The strength of the stalemate between the two was so great that Leng Feng kept shaking and rubbing against the opponent, making a crackling sound.

"What a powerful swordsman."

Long Ma's voice was hoarse, and there seemed to be a flash of heat in his empty eyes, "It makes me feel excited for the first time in a long time."

"Oh, it's just a walking corpse."

Zoro sneered, drew out his sword, turned sideways, dodged the attack and swung at the opponent's chest.

"Don't talk like you're a human being!" clang!
Long Ma pressed down Qiu Shui with his right arm to block both swords at the same time, and the huge force lifted him into the air.

"Haha, what a cruel thing to say."

A scornful smile appeared on his face, and his whole body spun in the air. After stabilizing his body, he held the two swords downward with his hands reversed, bent his legs and dived down.

"Two Swordsman Style: Demonic Bear!"

The white figure streaked across the night sky like a comet, falling rapidly with a huge impact.

Zoro swung his two swords, slightly bent his knees to make it easier to exert force, then kicked away, dragging Kitetsu and Xue away, and rushed into the air.

"Er-sword style: Climb the stairs!"

Stupid!
Two green rays rose up into the sky like a ladder and hit the blade that was stabbing at him, reducing the opponent's impact force.

Poof! Poof!
The two figures crossed each other, and Zoro's shoulders were suddenly cut with two knife marks, but he ignored them, turned his body and smiled coldly.

"I know the power of my own moves. Two-Sword Style: Yingdenglou!"

The double blades flashed a sharp cold light, and two sharp slashes flew straight down!
"I am your shadow. Don't I know my own moves?" Long Ma crossed his swords in front of his chest, as if he was prepared.

Clang! Clang!
Even though he blocked the attack, he had nowhere to gain support in mid-air and was still knocked down by the residual force.

boom! !

A deep pit was smashed into the ground, causing thick smoke to billow. Mud and sand covered Longma's clothes, making him look a little disheveled.

He stood up without caring, swung his sword and created a hurricane to blow away the smoke, revealing Zoro swooping down from the air.

"We are too familiar with each other. We can't break each other's moves, and it's hard to tell the result."

Longma suddenly curled his lips, stuck the two cracked knives into the ground, leaving only Qiu Shui hanging around his waist.

He sheathed the knife, put his right hand on the handle, spread his legs and half-knelt, looking straight into the air, "Why not end it all in one move? I'm sure you're thinking the same thing."

His aura suddenly began to rise, his domineering aura dyed his wrists black, and then it was like two black dragons wrapped around the long sword at his waist.

"Itto-ryu·Iai."

"I'm really anxious. You're worthy of being my shadow."

Zoro grinned coldly, his eyes darkened, and he used all his domineering power to activate the three swords. A blue-red shadow seemed to appear behind him.

"Three Sword Style Secret Technique: Blue Dragon Song: Flowing Fire!"

The phantom slowly solidified and revealed a face, and a long red dragon leaned over and swooped down, with the sharp edge of its long sword exposed like fangs in its mouth.

The two figures came close to each other in the blink of an eye, and the dragon's mouth bit down ferociously to swallow each other.

Zheng——! !

"Black Knife·Death·Lion Song!" Long Ma's figure flashed, and he instantly went straight through!

There was total silence between heaven and earth, with only the clear and loud sound of swords remaining. Two figures stood back to back, dozens of meters apart.

The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart; buildings, trees, everything were cut in half.

"Do I have this move? I don't remember it, but I seem to be quite good at slaying dragons."

Longma turned around and spoke lightly, his empty eyes emitting flames that began to spread throughout his body.

The blue dragon shattered into points of light that dissipated in the air. A knife scar instantly appeared on Zoro's chest, intersecting with the scar left by Hawkeye.

"Huh~~, I don't remember that I'm good at slaying dragons."

He let out a long sigh, still bleeding, and sheathed the three knives. He turned around and spoke in a low voice:
"It's a pity that the killing seems to be a little short. It's a pity that we can't meet in your lifetime."

"Is this what it feels like to be defeated? I feel a little empty for some reason."

Longma's empty eyes made him look a little lonely. His whole body was burning with blue flames. He stood there without making any sound.

Zoro looked at the other person and couldn't help feeling a little confused when he heard that.

At this moment, a blond figure appeared behind Ryoma.

"Well, since the winner has been decided."

Reiner looked calm, and stretched out his right hand to put it on the other's shoulder from behind, "Please don't burn it all, it will be offensive."

A green flame emanated from the palm of his hand and swept up at an extremely fast speed. The blue and green flames intertwined and covered the dragon horse's body.

"Whether it's offensive or not, I don't mind."

A hoarse voice suddenly came out, and a wrinkled hand suddenly rested on the back of his hand.

Longma slowly turned his head and looked at him with empty eyes.

"But I don't like people getting something for nothing. There has to be something left behind. What do you think?"

Reiner looked surprised and suspicious, and clasped the other's shoulders tightly with his five fingers bent.

At the same time, his left hand quickly reached over his waist, pressing it down tightly to prevent him from having a chance to draw his sword!

Zoro?

Or Ryoma?!
But no matter who it is.
"I quite like to get something for nothing. Don't call me stingy. I'm a swordsman without a sword. Do you want me to leave something behind?" Reiner said calmly with a gloomy look in his eyes.

There was no expression on Longma's withered face. He just opened his mouth slowly and made a hoarse sound.

"That's true. A swordsman cannot be without a sword, but I have a sword, little brother."

A sharp and astonishing aura suddenly rose from the ground, reaching the sky and the earth!

Reiner's pupils shrank, and he instantly felt a chill on his back, as if thousands of knife tips were pressing against his whole body.

In his dark eyes, Longma put one hand through his sleeve and gently placed it on his chest.

No sword flow? ! !
A blue flame ignited from his body out of thin air, covering his entire body and dancing in the wind. A scarlet blood line emerged, crossing his entire face and spreading to his ears.

A pair of red horns emerged from his forehead, Reiner's eyes were dark, and his whole body exuded a dead and gray aura, as if an evil ghost had descended!

At the same time, flying sand surged and condensed rapidly.

next moment.

A vicissitudes of life voice came into my ears.

"I am the sharpest knife in the world!"

The words fell.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
Clang! The sharp edge turned into a gust of wind, tangling around Reiner's body!
The clothes were shredded into pieces in an instant, and the tough muscles were cut open easily like thin paper!

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Countless cuts appeared out of nowhere, blood splattered in the air and condensed into beads, and the tearing pain swept through the body.

It's so annoying, bastard!

Reiner, with his skin torn and flesh exposed, gritted his teeth and endured it, holding the other person's body tightly with his five fingers. What a joke! How could he fail at this moment!
Finally, the sand diamond mirrors glowed dimly, arranged in an irregular but extremely dense manner, floating around him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew continuously, and white lines were left on the black diamond shield. The cuts were some deep and some shallow, and some even directly split it in two and slashed straight towards his body!

Reiner looked solemn. Gion was just like this. Ryoma could do this with this body? ! !
At the end of your life, how high did you reach in the path of swordsmanship?
From time to time, a slash would cut through his flesh, causing blood to spurt out, but the weakened slash no longer posed much of a threat to him.

The sharp wind, as fierce as a knife, seemed to have known the ending and suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth.

Longma's body did not move, he just opened his mouth and raised his head, and no other sound came out.

The two flames of cyan and blue gradually disappeared.

A black shadow broke free from his mouth and flew straight towards Zoro.

"Reiner!!"

A blue light flashed in front of him, and Nami flew over in panic.

"Do you know how risky this is, asshole?"

"Hey! Wait, wait!" Reiner exclaimed and quickly waved his hands to stop him.

“—Hiss! It hurts!!”

"Ah! Sorry, sorry!" Nami finally reacted, and hurriedly let go of her hand and took two steps back.

Looking at him covered in blood and with these horrific wounds, he couldn't help but worry and even used his half-beast form.

After Nami went out to sea, I only saw him once in the small garden, and I didn’t see Reiner fighting so hard even on the Judicial Island.

She lifted one of Reiner's arms, not caring about the scarlet blood staining her clothes, and helped him sit down slowly, "Don't move yet, wait for Chopper to help you treat your wound."

"Well, it's no big deal, don't worry."

Reiner smiled gently to comfort her, and stretched out his hand to look at the dancing blue flames in his palm.

The swordless style just now really scared him, but after thinking carefully, Zoro two years later would be able to do it too.

For Ryoma at his peak, a blow of that magnitude just now would probably be a piece of cake.

"Are you the sharpest sword in the world?"

Reiner looked at the blue flames dancing in his palm and couldn't help but smile.
"Come to think of it, your images are quite similar, and they both refer to you as 'master'. From now on, I'll call you Sukuna, and the Black Blade Shusui will be just right for you."
