Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

This seemingly simple-minded fat man is actually quite strong.

"Hmph! My defense is also number one in the world!"

Sentomaru said arrogantly, assuming a fighting stance once again, "But you won't have a chance to let me defend."

"Ghost Slayer!"

Zoro stopped probing and charged forward like lightning!

The three swords traced eerie arcs, their strikes accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, slashing towards Sentomaru from three different angles!

Sentomaru's eyes narrowed.

Now we need to defend.

He neither dodged nor flinched, but instead slammed his giant axe into the ground and crossed his arms to block in front of him.

At the same time, a powerful Armament Haki surged around him, the dark Haki almost solidifying, covering his bare skin and red bellyband!

"Super Solo Flight in the Sky - Imperial!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Three sharp slashes struck Sentomaru's crossed arms almost simultaneously, scattering blinding sparks.

Zoro felt as if his sword was striking bricks and stones, unable to advance an inch!

"It's useless, my defense is invincible!" Sentomaru shouted, and his crossed arms suddenly slammed outward!

A powerful recoil force came, and Zoro used it to somersault backward, landing lightly with a slight frown.

This guy's Armament Haki and physical defense are combined perfectly; he's practically an iron turtle.

"It seems that without some real skill, I can't crack your shell."

Zoro positioned his three swords in different starting stances, and his aura began to rise, spreading out a fierce and malevolent energy like that of a demon from hell.

"Three-Sword Style: Black Rope: Great Tornado!"

Zoro's body spun rapidly, and his three swords transformed into a terrifying tornado wreathed in black Haki and swept with sharp sword energy, rushing towards Sentomaru!

Where the tornado passed, deep trenches were carved into the ground, and the surrounding buildings were cut to pieces by the dissipating sword energy.

Sentomaru's expression finally turned serious; he sensed the threat posed by this attack.

He steadied himself in a horse stance again, concentrating his domineering aura in his arms and chest.

"Ultimate - Solitary Walker in the Sky - Immovable King!"

He thrust both palms forward with a mighty force, forming a massive, imposing shield wall in front of him that held back the roaring tornado of sword energy.

Rumble!

The sword energy and the domineering shield wall clashed fiercely, producing a deafening roar!

The rampaging sword energy relentlessly slashed at the shield wall, but the shield wall remained unmoved, firmly protecting Sentomaru's figure.

The two sides were briefly locked in a stalemate, and the powerful energy clash cleared a vacuum zone in the surrounding battlefield.

Zoro gritted his teeth amidst the tornado. He could sense that the opponent's defense was indeed incredibly strong, but not without flaws.

This state of full-force defense is bound to be difficult to sustain, and his movement is also restricted.

"It's not over yet!"

A glint flashed in Zoro's eyes, and the force of his spin suddenly changed!

Sentomaru also felt the pressure and was secretly alarmed:

"This green algae-headed guy is much more troublesome than the intelligence reports suggested. The Straw Hat crew's ship is indeed full of monsters."

Just then, a loud noise came from afar.

It attracted their attention almost simultaneously.

Has all-out war begun?

Zoro knew this from the sight of Sentomaru and the Pacifistas here.

I didn't expect it to be so fast.

The clouds over there were surging. I've seen this scene before, when Luffy and Shiki's Conqueror's Haki clashed.

In other words, has a Marine who also possesses Conqueror's Haki arrived?

In the Navy, Zoro only knows one person.

Luffy's grandfather.

Since that's the case, we can't let ourselves be stuck here.

The captain is engaged in that level of combat, how can he stop here?

"To endure suffering without weariness—this is the path of the Asura,"

Ghostly Aura - Nine-Sword Style - Asura - Demon Nine Flashes!

A red glint flashed in Zoro's eyes, and with a swift movement, his three heads, six arms, and nine swords slashed at Sentomaru.

As he flashed past Sentomaru's body, several sword shadows bloomed, and Zoro appeared behind Sentomaru, like a towering Asura.

Click.

Sentomaru slowly turned around, an expression of disbelief on his face. Then, several bloody blades erupted from his body, and he knelt down.

"Still not dead? You're quite thick-skinned, but you're probably out of strength now," Zoro said calmly.

Sentomaru is very strong, especially in his understanding of Haki, which is a game-changer for pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.

But Zoro is stronger!

His physical skills, swordsmanship, and physique, along with the feeling he had when he cut through steel, were all restored.

The breath of all things.

Zoro doesn't have time to waste on these enemies.

At the very least, the tasks assigned by the captain must be completed.

Zoro had just sheathed his sword and was about to leave when suddenly his eyes widened, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he turned around to see a huge figure that had suddenly appeared behind him.

What's standing right in front of me is a giant bear!

"Are you serious, you bastard?" Zoro suddenly increased the distance between himself and Kuma.

"You're the only one left, pirate hunter Zoro," Kuma said calmly.

What do you mean?

"What did you do to them?!" A bad feeling crept into Zoro's mind.

"I'm on a mission to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates," Kuma said calmly.

"You bastard!"

Just as Zoro was about to draw his sword, Kuma appeared in front of him, leaned down and said, "You're strong... but you're still far from it."

What do you mean?

Before he could think, Zoro froze. The aftereffects of using the Ashura technique had kicked in, and he watched helplessly as Kuma's hand slammed down.

With a whoosh.

Zoro's figure disappeared from the spot.

"Hey, Big Bear, what are you doing?"

Sentomaru, who was not far away, stared wide-eyed as Zoro disappeared.

"Execute the highest order and eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates," Xiong said calmly.

"Bullshit, you clearly..." Sentomaru hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Doesn't he know about the bear's abilities?

There shouldn't be any pirates able to escape from the Sabaody Archipelago, which is currently surrounded by the Navy.

But noticing the bear's expressionless face, Sentomaru fell silent.

"What about Bonnie?" Sentomaru asked.

"The glutton Bonnie is the second order, and has been eliminated."

Zhan Taomaru: "..."

The bear looked at the injuries on Sentomaru's body, took a step forward, then took a step back and walked to the side.

"Hey, where are you going?" Sentomaru asked hurriedly.

"Execute the highest order and eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates."

Sentomaru: "You're even going to spare the straw hat?"

"Execute the highest order and eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates."

The bear repeated this phrase as it left.

Chapter 318 Naval Hero vs. Fifth Emperor

Neither side gained any advantage in the fierce exchange just now.

They stopped almost simultaneously.

Luffy didn't want to be held up here by this bastard grandpa, so he used whatever move was most powerful.

"Rubber White Rocket Launcher!"

Luffy's arms were like fully drawn bows, and after charging up to the maximum, he suddenly blasted forward!

Wrapped in a fiery black-red aura, his fists, like two falling white meteors, slammed fiercely towards the spot where Garp had just been standing, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

Rumble!
