Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

Franky, who had dodged Sauron's fatal attack, fell heavily to the ground, and then relied on the concealed propulsion device installed on the soles of his feet to gain great acceleration in an instant, bouncing up like a spring!

And then—then there was a kick that was as fast as cutting through the air!

Although Franky didn't know why Sauron had such a murderous intention towards his companion, he was very aware of the strength of his swordsman, and he had to show his true ability, otherwise the situation would be bad.

That's why he chose the kick that Sanji used to compete with Zoro - although he definitely couldn't reproduce it one to one, but with the physical fitness of the cybernetic, he wouldn't lose quickly, and the kick was very effective. In this kind of close combat with the swordsman, it is more suitable than his own technological weapons for medium and long-range combat.

Facing Franky's counterattack, Sauron's three knives also started to dance crazily. He could see that Franky wanted to rely on the super close combat advantage of the Cyborg to seal his slashing attack, so he kept flicking around in the gaps between the knives, frantically moving towards his hand, The attack continued on the head and body.

"S-Zoron! Franky!"

Chopper, who was in a state of shock because of the exponentially increasing intensity of the fight between the two, now regained his composure.

"You all stop! Zoro! And Franky!"

Nami also stopped shouting - but the two crew members who usually obeyed the orders of her "real captain" had no intention of stopping this time.

Zoro jumped back and dodged Franky's special roundhouse kick that was powered by coke spray. He crossed his hands in front of him, his eyes suddenly stern, and he raised the two knives.

"Electric chop!"

With a very low posture, as if he was lying on the ground, the secret of this three-sword style move was approaching Franky in an instant——

clang!

Stopped.

Franky knew that it was impossible to dodge Sauron's "Electric Slash" at his own speed, so he took the initiative to attack while his hands were still separated, using "Rocket Punch" to pin the opponent to the ground. In place.

but--

"...?"

"Do you think this is enough?"

Zoro warned coldly, while adding strength to his hands.

Franky's teeth clenched tightly.

The attack between the two has now turned into a contest of strength. However, Franky's "Rocket Punch" is, after all, a move that specializes in instant bursts. It lacks follow-up power, and it is already obvious who wins and who loses.

"Asshole... Zoro! Do you really know what you are doing?!"

"Franky, let me give you one last piece of advice. When competing with a swordsman, you must not be distracted for a moment. If you let him see his flaws..."

"Um?"

"Then you are no different than dead."

Facing Sauron's weird eyes, even the big-hearted reformer Franky couldn't help but change his expression.

boom--! !

The balance of power was finally broken, and the power from Sauron's crossed arms finally burst out.

"hateful……"

Franky, who was hit by "Electric Slash", was knocked straight towards Nami and Chopper.

"Franky!"

"F-Franky!"

Nami and Chopper ran over quickly, and Franky couldn't breathe. Only his right hand tightly grasped the alloy left fist that had been chopped to damage.

"Why? Why do you do this? Zoro!"

Nami glared at Zoro, her aura rising.

"It's too much to hurt your friends!"

While Chopper was diagnosing Franky, although he didn't know what the reason was for Zoro, he still felt very angry and sad about his partners hurting each other. He glared at Zoro, who was usually the closest to him. Long.

Although Zoro also silently glanced at Franky who fell on the ground, he soon faced the girl Maya and the old woman again.

"Give me the orb."

The old woman opened her hands to block Maya behind her.

However, Zoro didn't take the old woman seriously at all. The knife in his right hand just flashed and slashed at Maya.

"hateful……"

Orbs with a mysterious luster fell out one by one from the torn package and rolled to Sauron's feet. Without any hesitation, he put the knife into the scabbard, bent down and picked up the three orbs.

"Hehehe..."

"Everything went smoothly!"

Bukangu and Besmai came over - as commanders, they appeared here, which meant that most of the people in the village should have been subdued.

"I took these things."

Zoro said this to the girl Maya and the old woman, while putting the orb into the belly roll.

"Please give it back to me! Those things are very important to us!"

"It's equally important to me."

Zoro, who turned around, said so indifferently and at the same time, walked towards the direction of Saka's two disciples.

"Okay! The goal has been achieved! Retreat the troops!"

Besmer ordered all the sailors to put away their weapons, and then announced to all the villagers: "Listen up! As long as our navy rules this island for one day, no ceremonies or gatherings are allowed without our permission! This You should be very clear about this! In other words! What you are doing now is absolutely against justice for the Navy!"

"And if anyone dares to go against our navy again, you will all be executed! Hahahaha!"

Bukanji carried the blood-stained mace and swayed away. Besmer gathered the sailors and issued an order to retreat. Afterwards, Zoro also left the village with them.

All that was left were the wounded and fallen villagers, the women and children who were trembling with fear, and the destroyed altar.

"What on earth did Zoro do? Why would he do such a thing, Nami? Why?!"

Chopper cried tears of anger and sadness.

"I want to ask him this question too!"

"..."

With the help of the girl Maya, Lux finally stood up. He pressed the wound on his abdomen and bit his lip unwillingly: "I'm sorry, Miss Maya, mother-in-law, our strength is still not enough..."

Maya just put her hand on Lux's shoulder gently.

The old woman showed a very regretful expression: "Now, there is no way to stop the darkness from dominating the world..."

"dark……"

"...Domination of this world?"

After hearing the old woman's words, Nami and Franky's eyes widened.

…

on the other hand.

Luffy and Sanji had been walking back and forth in the dense forest of Aska Island for a long time - I don't know if they were looking for the "Lost King", but these two guys also got lost.

The sun was gradually setting, and the sky was slowly being shrouded in evening darkness. If the two of them still can't get out of this dense forest at night...

"Um?"

Luffy suddenly stopped: "Where is this place?"

"It seems to be a building..."

Sanji exchanged opinions with him.

A high wall stood in front of the two people, seeming to extend far away, and the forest in front of them seemed to be cut open by it. However, the entrance could not be found anywhere.

"That is to say - maybe someone will be here! Go and ask if there is any news about Sauron!"

Luffy didn't think twice and acted directly.

"Hey! Luffy! Wait a minute! Hey!"

Luffy ignored Sanji's obstruction and used the Moon Step to easily cross the high wall.

"cut!"

Sanji had no choice but to follow.

Soon, the two people who landed on the ground saw the scene inside the high wall——

Hundreds of sailors raised their swords and slashed straight down. Then they turned to the right, slashed the sword diagonally to the upper right, then pulled it sideways to the left, then lowered their waists and stabbed forward, and then turned around suddenly. A slash towards the back, followed by a straight upward slash...

In a temple-like circular hall with a bonfire lit, the navy soldiers practiced silently, their movements uniform and no one made a mistake.

"Um?"

"Navy Dojo?"

When Sanji frowned and looked at the situation here, Luffy asked the sailors loudly without any fear: "Hey! Have you seen Zoro?"

"It's a swordsman with green hair, fierce eyes, and three swords!"

"Have you seen him?"

"..."

Sanji was dumbfounded by Luffy's rash action without considering the situation and consequences, but what surprised him even more was that the sailors continued to practice meticulously as if they had not seen them at all.

Luffy simply walked into the crowd, nimbly avoiding the swinging swords, and continued to ask without giving up: "We are looking for Zoro! It's just... uh, so dangerous... Zoro! Zoro!"

"Stop first, Luffy! The situation here..."

Sanji's "something wrong" hasn't been said yet——

"Dark boy Luffy?"

"Wow! Got recognized!"

A young swordsman with freckles on his face wearing a worn-out hat was staring at Luffy.

Although he was wearing a more decent shirt instead of a navy uniform, from the seagull logo on his back, he could still tell that this boy was also a sailor.

"Oh! Hello! Do you know Zoro?"

Luffy asked the boy - Toma.

"If you ask for Mr. Zoro, he should be back soon."

"Really? Then, let's wait here. Sanji, great! We finally found Zoro!"

"Hey! Luffy, you idiot! Don't you think something is wrong here? And why does the green algae head appear in this navy dojo?!"

"Well, whatever happens, we can finally bring Zoro back."

Not wanting to think too much like Sanji, Luffy laughed.

Toma also gave Luffy a boyish and harmless smile, and then suddenly raised his hand.

——Seeing this "stop" gesture, the sailors immediately stopped their drills and lined up neatly. The knives were all put behind them, and everyone was like robots, quietly and quickly lining up to form a human wall.

"Well, is it you who caused a scene at the Navy Headquarters and then defected from there?"

The man standing on the podium of the dojo said this.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Luffy didn't consider the abnormal situation at all and asked stupidly.

"I am Saka, the master of this naval dojo."

"Master? In other words, he is the strongest among everyone here?"

Sanji was tensed.

"Huh? Your name is Saka? Why are you holding such a long sword? Can you use such a sword? It's so powerful!"

Luffy looked at the sword that was as long as a person on the man's back and became excited.

"You are such an interesting person, Mr. Luffy."

Thomas said with a smile.

"Why?"

"Ahaha... Master, can I try his strength? Let's see if the rumor that Mr. Luffy 'brought a big fuss at the Marine Headquarters and then escaped unharmed, with amazing strength' is true."

"OK."

The man named Saka answered briefly.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Toma suddenly looked at Luffy who was still confused.

There was a murderous look in his eyes for a moment - he pulled out the sword, held the handle in his right hand and the scabbard in his left hand, and slashed towards Luffy's waist!

The basic move that all swordsmen must know - Iai Slash!

But the young Toma's Iai slashing speed is quite fast!

The sharp blade passed by Luffy and stopped right in front of Sanji's throat, who was beside Luffy.

"Hey! You kid! If you want to fight, you should just say so!"

Luffy, who didn't expect that the opponent would suddenly attack him, became angry after using his knowledge to dodge with his Haki intact.

Sanji stamped out the cigarette butt with an expressionless expression.

"hehe."

The murderous look in the young Toma's eyes suddenly disappeared again, and he showed a smile, as if he was very happy: "Oh! There are not many people who can escape my Iai Slash! And there are also very few people who can face my attack. The sword has no fear...even though it was just a small test...no one has made me so excited for a long time!"

"The game is over, Dark Boy Luffy!"

Sarkar on the pulpit suddenly spoke again.

"Um?"

"Zoron will not come to see you again. He is no longer your boring pirate group's partner."

Sarkar stepped down from the pulpit.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why can you decide Sauron's affairs?!"

"Thomas, step back."

After hearing his master's instructions, Thomas put his sword in its scabbard and retreated to the queue of marines.

The bonfire was still swaying.

Saka, wearing an exaggerated long sword, leisurely came to the center of the dojo.

"Do you want to fight?"

Luffy glared at Saka, who claimed to be a marine master, and suddenly sank down.

Luffy standing at the entrance and Saka standing in the center of the dojo were too far apart to start a fight according to normal logic.

but--

"Finger gun... volcano gun!"

He is never ambiguous when it comes to his partners. Although he still doesn't know the situation, Luffy decisively takes the lead - and uses the finger gun skill that Porosalino was proud of when he was a rookie in the navy!

ps: I just came across some very important personal matters to deal with after returning from the trip, but they have been taken care of!

ps: The old thief Oda really backstabbed us fan authors. In the latest comic, Garp is really not as good as we thought qwq

ps: But let me tell you something, I quite like Kobe Bryant's early portrayal, but after the war, my personal favorability towards him plummeted.
