Although they all bounced the sword waves away one by one without being hurt, it was not easy for Zoro to block them. Each assault sword wave had the power of a sniper rifle. Even he consumed a lot of energy.

As the dust settled, Sauron stared at the warrior in front of him, "You are qualified to sign up, warrior."

Waving his autumn water and pointing it directly at the opponent, Ryoma solemnly said, "The land of Wano, the swordsman Ryoma"

"A country of samurai? Are all the samurai there as strong as you? I really want to see it. My name is Roronoa Zoro, and I will defeat you."

Gathering his momentum, Zoro sheathed his swords and prepared to attack.

The black sword on Ryoma's front finger was slowly inserted back into the scabbard. The blade and scabbard gave them his few aura of armament and domineering, and he walked forward, "I heard Lord Moria say, when it comes to swords, The name of the dragon horse will make swordsmen tremble with fear. Although the body has no memory, the body's instinct is interpreting this honor all the time."

Sauron keenly sensed the opponent's strength, and seemed to be getting stronger in a way he couldn't understand.

footsteps, breathing,

"Tap~~"

"hu~hu~"

At a certain moment, both sides launched their long-prepared sword skills at the same time, moving forward without hesitation.

"Nose Song Three Ding · Arrow Tail Slash"

"Second Sword, Iai, Rashomon"

In the eyes of others, Zoro suddenly disappeared. Before they understood the situation on the battlefield, there was a loud noise that deafened their ears. They saw that one side of the forest was directly cut into two halves, and the forest in front of Ryoma was facing But intact.

Franky lay on the ground, sweating coldly, and asked the Straw Hat boy beside him, "Luffy, did Zoro win?"

Straw Hat Luffy, who was also lying on the ground, had a gloomy and serious expression, and Sanji, who was lying next to him, also had an expression that was hard to describe.

in the battlefield,

Ryoma turned around, unscathed, and said confidently, "It seems that I am slightly better, yohohoho."

The arrogant Zoro turned around, only to see a large gash in his waist and abdomen, and he was bleeding profusely. He thought to himself, if he delayed for too long, the sword might be cut off by the black sword. The sword held by this warrior Some powerful bodies and spirits are genuine, and the power given to the sword is not as sharp as my ghost energy, but stronger and more aggressive.

For him, it is another matter to ask if the other person will come back if he doesn't understand. He takes off his shirt and wraps the wound and ties a knot.

"The battle has just begun. Can you tell me about the power attached to your sword? It looks very strong."

"Yohohoho, don't you feel ashamed to ask the enemy for advice?"

"Well, I only care about how to become stronger, can't I tell you?"

"He is really a pure swordsman. Well, there is nothing that cannot be said about this kind of power. Do you know? The blade of this autumn water is not originally pitch black."

"Isn't it pitch black? Isn't it because it's made of special materials?"

"Yohohoho, of course not. As a swordsman, you must create a black sword of your own to be a true great swordsman, and to develop the power of a black sword, that is - armed domineering."

"Armed domineering?"

"That's right, use Armament Haki. Along with the battle, after hundreds of battles, you can refine your sword into a black sword step by step. It will never be broken again, and you will not be afraid of being rusted. In the end, you will become the strongest sword that will never fade. Blade and become the strongest swordsman"

"Is this so? Can even Devil Fruits be resisted?" After hearing Samurai Ryoma's impassioned "Black Sword Theory", Zoro couldn't help but yearn for this kind of power even more. Such "deliciousness", for him, "Taotie", who regards the knife as his life, can't wait to learn it right away.

"Of course, the black sword can cut through anything, and it can also compete with the power of demons."

Both sides had slowly recovered from the previous extremely exhausting battle. Although they were still sweating, they were no longer panting and began to adjust their breaths to prepare for the decisive battle.

"Thank you for your explanation. But I will defeat you. I want this black knife."

"How arrogant, a third-rate swordsman who clearly doesn't know how to be domineering."

……

In the sky, Nami looked at the battle below with some worry, "Can Zoro win?"

"Hahahahaha, although that green algae head can compete with Ryoma, Ryoma is definitely much stronger than that green algae head. We should definitely win, Lord Moria," Perona said with a smile.

Moria's calm expression meant nothing. He just smiled and nodded without responding, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he could win this battle until the last moment.

The Straw Hats below also had solemn expressions on their faces, staring closely at the battlefield, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads, and Zoro was worried.

……

"You are a three-sword swordsman. Let me show you my one-sword style and I will cut you off." Zoro put the Sandaime Kitetsu in his right hand back into the scabbard. He held Wado Ichimonji in his left hand, bent his knees and charged up his strength to jump directly towards Sky, and placed the word "Wado" behind him, holding his left wrist with his right hand, and struck Ryoma straight down,

"One-sword style·Feilong·Qingyan"!

Looking at the dragon-shaped sword dozens of meters high in the sky and slashing towards him, venting its energy, Ryoma couldn't help but smile, "Maybe you don't know that I used to be called the one who killed flying dragons in the sky with autumn water. , respectfully called - Dragon-Slaying Warrior"

"As someone who holds many knives, you shouldn't know...",

"The power of holding a sword with both hands is far more powerful than holding a sword with one hand."

I saw that Ryoma's posture of holding the sword with one hand in his right hand changed to holding the hilt with both hands. The sword was covered with domineering energy all over his body. The sword energy resonated with the autumn water to form a huge black "dragon-slaying sword", and he swung the blade upwards.

"One Sword Style·Dragon Slaying"

……

In the eyes of everyone,

The powerful samurai held swords in both hands and brandished the huge black "Dragon Slaying Sword" directly at the blue flying dragon that fell from the sky.

one strike,

Cut off the dragon's head,

……

Straw Hat Luffy was watching with veins popping out, his fists clenched, his eyes angry, but he still endured the steps forward, and also held down Franky who was about to go up. In his eyes, this was Zoro's battle, and no one could Can't interfere.

Nami in the air covered her mouth, in disbelief, terrified, and speechless. Robin beside her was also a little worried, "Zoron..."

At this time, in the battlefield, the sword Qi Qinglong disappeared, and the huge black knife also disappeared. However, a black knife was inserted directly into the chest of a body and penetrated through it.

Ryoma held the sword in both hands and directly penetrated Zoro's sword energy, chopped the green dragon into pieces, extinguished the green flames, knocked away Wado Ichimonji, and then penetrated his chest.

"tick~tick~"

The blood fell to the ground bit by bit along the autumn water, echoing with the subtle but terrifying sound of blood drops.

"Yohohoho, you know what?"

"Ever since the master told me about my identity, I have always wanted to cut off the flying dragon again and show it to the master. This trick was developed after listening to the master's lesson a few days ago. My body instinct is Tell me, this move suits me well.”

"Facing you, I can't help but feel an unprecedented feeling in my heart. It's like confronting a huge creature. Although it's far from a real flying dragon, it's not enough."

"But that unbelievable feeling of being ready to move, my body seems to be dancing, and I want to prove again that even after I die, I am still worthy of this black knife."

"you lose."

After saying that, Ryoma was about to pull out the autumn water stuck in his body and go back, but a hand held the blade of the sword. He looked along that hand,

I saw Zoro holding the blade inserted in his chest with his right hand, and holding Hedao Yimoji in his right hand. Although his face was pale, his sharp eyes could still make people feel his eagerness to fight.

"Thank you for your advice. Whether it's swordsmanship, domineering, black swords, etc., you let me know that my practice is far from enough." Zoro held the Qishui sword tightly to stop Ryoma from drawing the sword away, and said happily, " Also, it was you who failed."

"What?" Ryoma saw that Zoro was carrying a heavy burden, but he was still filled with a powerful aura. The aura was terrifying and cold, like an evil ghost trying to bite people. He was distracted and forgot to move away.

"Ghost energy, one sword style, ghosts and gods cry"!

As if Zoro was carrying an evil spirit, he placed the sword in the air behind him. With a ghostly aura, Wadou Yimonji swung the blade 180 degrees and slashed towards Ryoma's waist in an instant.

Captured by this momentum, even though Ryoma had a body that had been tempered for thousands of years, he lost consciousness for an instant. Ryoma broke free from the air pressure and came back to his senses at the last moment. Faced with this blow, he still chose to draw his sword and forcefully pulled out the sword held by Sauron. The tight Qiu Shui tried to move away, but it was already too late.

Because of the delay in drawing out the sword, the situation of the battle was reversed, and the outcome was reversed.

Zoro staggered, his body staggered, and he covered the bleeding wound on his chest with his right hand. He couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the body on the ground was split in half by him, and the incision of the body began to burn with green ghost fire, but Ryoma was still awake, he asked with some doubts,

"Why don't you just avoid it? You should be able to avoid it if you abandon the knife."

"Ahem~" Although he is already a zombie and his body does not feel any pain, his speech is still awkward due to the leakage from his body.

"As a swordsman, how can you give up the sword in your hand?"

"But, more importantly, the master will not allow me to lose the knife."

"The famous sword Qiu Shui once hung on the waist of the legendary samurai. If it follows you, it will be regarded as your wish, but..."

"I have failed to fulfill my master's expectations, and I don't want to live up to my master's final instructions."

"Although you won, this knife is not yours yet."

After saying these words, Ryoma turned over with his hands, used up his last strength, threw the autumn water in his right hand into the air where Moria was, and shouted, "I'm sorry, Lord Moria."

It wasn't until he saw Moria flying down and catching the black sword Qiu Shui that was falling halfway due to lack of strength that Ryoma closed his eyes. The will-o'-the-wisp had spread all over his body.

"I actually made this samurai's body taste defeat."

“So unwilling”

The ashes disappeared, and a shadow flew out, like a tired bird returning to its nest, straight towards the seaside.

Zoro pulled off the green turban he had been wearing since the beginning, covered the wound, and staggered towards the Straw Hats.

"You are worthy of being a swordsman both physically and mentally. I really want to have a fight with you in your time."

"Although I didn't get any spoils, I have gained a lot and gained a lot from fighting you."

"Pretend we haven't fought before, the Dragon-Slaying Samurai of Wano Country"
