Traveling Merchant On The Grand Line

At the moment, it is in front of Balati, the restaurant on the sea.

Zoro and Kuina each stood on a fragment of the hull, and not far away was Hawkeye on the coffin boat.

In front of the restaurant.

Usopp looked at Kuina who appeared suddenly, confused, "Who is that woman? She looks like she knows Zoro.

Zapp folded his arms, looked there and said:

"The Maiden of the Sword of Thunder is a female swordsman who has gained a great reputation in the Grand Line in recent years, and she is also a powerful bounty hunter. I heard that she once defeated Kang Chang in your sea.

"A reward of hundreds of millions!!"

Usopp's eyes widened in disbelief.

Krieg, who has 5,000 subordinates, was offered a reward of 17 million Baileys, and a reward of hundreds of millions. What kind of concept is that?

Usopp is unimaginable.

Sanji also looked at the blue-haired female swordsman in surprise.

Is that slender figure, narrow eyebrows, and heroic-looking beauty actually such a strong swordsman?!

He was a little envious of the swordsman with the green algae head, but he didn't expect that he was an old acquaintance with such a beautiful swordsman.

"Thunder Sword Miko..."

Nami read silently, looking at the blue-haired female swordsman with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Sudden.

The boy's chuckle sounded beside her.

"Zoro, you haven't forgotten that promise, have you?"

The moment the sound is heard.

Hawkeye, Kuina, and Zoro looked over there at the same time.

I saw the 25-year-old silver-haired boy who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

Hawkeye froze for a moment.

is that guy

How did he change into this appearance?

Kuina saw that Kahn was also surprised,

"The store manager? Why are you here?"

store manager?

Nami's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this.

Could it be that she also...

Among the three, Zoro is undoubtedly the most shocked.

He really is the knife shop brigade who appeared in Shimotsuki village and left with Kuina at the end!!

R...

Why did he become like this? And why did he pretend not to know himself?

Zoro couldn't figure it out.

He slightly clenched the handle of the [Broken Steel] knife in his hand.

In his mind, he recalled the promise he made when he lent himself the knife.

He never forgot the oath made at that time!

Zoro looked away from Kahn and looked at Kuina.

"Kuina, you haven't forgotten the promise back then, have you?"

After chasing Hawkeye so far, Kuina, who did not expect to meet Zoro, heard his words, and a smile appeared on her beautiful and moving face.

"Hey, I didn't forget.

"When we meet again on the sea, it will be the start of the 2002nd match, right?"

Seeing that she hadn't forgotten the agreement, Zoro grinned, put the handle of a knife in his mouth, held a knife in each hand, and made a three-sword style sword posture.

"In these years, I have not been abandoned in the dojo. Compared with before, I am much stronger. The 2002nd competition, I will definitely win!"

Listen to him.

Kuina smiled, holding the handle of the knife at his waist and Dao Yiwen.

"That might be."

Setsuna room.

The two kicked their feet at the same time.

Quickly rush towards the opponent.

Kuina drew the knife out of its sheath, and the clear blade drew a perfect arc in the air.

Zoro also made a beautiful ghost cut.

Two sword lights collided in the air.

Staggered body shape.

Each fell to the ground.

Ka--!

A crack appeared on the body of one of Zoro's knives,

His pupils shrank.

"Zoro, you have indeed become much stronger than before, but... obviously I am still stronger. y

Kuina's voice sounded behind him.

The moment Zoro turned his head suddenly.

Kuina waved the words of Hedao in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

A blue wave of swords whizzed towards Zoro!

Facing this flying slash.

Even though Zoro used the three knives in his hand to block in time, he was inevitably pushed back by the slash.

It was hard to block that slash.

The knife with cracks in his hand couldn't hold it anymore and broke completely.

See this scene.

Kuina frowned slightly and looked towards Kahn.

"Shop manager, borrow a knife."

"Yeah, what a hassle."

Under Sanji, Usopp's stunned gaze.

The silver-haired boy casually conjured up a sheathed black knife and threw it over there.

Kuina grabbed it and threw it to Zoro.

"Use this knife, this should not be your full strength, right?"

Zoro, who caught the knife, gave her a deep look, without saying anything, and drew the knife out of its sheath.

This is an extremely heavy black knife, even if it is the first time holding it in his hand, Zoro can immediately feel that it is a famous knife with a rank higher than [Broken Steel]!

"Big Knife 21 workers, Qiushui."

Hawkeye recognized the knife at a glance.

Holding the black knife Qiushui in his right hand, the sharp knife in his left hand breaks the steel, and Zoro, who holds an ordinary knife in his mouth, keeps spinning the two knives in his hand like a windmill, generating a strong wind.

"Three Swords Technique..."

He kicked his feet and rushed towards the opposite Kuina.

Kuina looked at him with a calm expression while holding the words of He Dao.

"Three thousand world!"

Zheng——!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of a blade colliding.

The figures of the two staggered again.

Click!

The ordinary knife in Zoro's mouth shattered, and a scar was cut on his chest, and blood spattered.

"I lost."

"Zoro!!"

Luffy yelled in concern.

Then immediately rushed over there.

"Brother!!"

Johnny and Joseph also hurried over.

Kuina looked at them and said, "Don't worry, I cut very shallow, he's fine."

It was exactly as she said.

Zoro didn't fall down, but supported his body with the black knife in his hand, and raised his palm to signal Luffy and the others not to come over.

Zoro looked at Kuina.

"Isn't this your best effort?"

Kuina didn't speak.

"I didn't expect that I still couldn't beat you. This is my 2002nd defeat. It's really... abominable!"

Zoro sat down on the ground with a depressed and frustrated expression.

Kuina hesitated to speak.

If she hadn't left with Kahn at the beginning, she certainly wouldn't have become so strong now, maybe Zoro would win this time.

But... there are often no ifs in the world.

If you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose.

Nor did she feel that Zoro needed someone to comfort him.

as predicted.

I saw Zoro slapped his face hard, raised his head and smiled at Kuina:

"Although I lost this time, it's not over yet! I won't give up!"

"One day I will win!"

He turned his head to look at Kahn100 in front of the restaurant not far away.

"Shop Manager, I lost the agreement. I will return these two knives to you. Thank you for lending me such a long time!"

He forcefully threw the two sheathed long knives in front of him over there.

Kahn reached out to catch it.

Zoro looked at Kuina again, and then at Hawkeye standing not far away.

"Next, you are going to challenge the number one in the world, right?"

Kuina nodded.

Zoro: "Don't lose."

Kuina laughed and said:

"certainly."

Zoro was helped aside by Johnny and Joseph who rushed over.

Kuina and Hawkeye stood on the same hull, looking at each other. Invisible swords emanated from the two of them and collided with each other, causing the sea around them to turbulently.

Eagle-eyed eagle eyes stared at her:

"Reaching the realm of a great swordsman with the body of a woman is remarkable."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Kuina held the hilt of the Wadou Ichimonji, bent down, and assumed the posture of Iai Zhan.

Hawkeye pulled out the black knife 'Ye' from his back.

"Are you that guy's employee? I admit that he is my opponent, and he is qualified to compete with me for the number one position in the world. As for whether you are qualified to be my opponent, let me see with my own eyes."

Kuina narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words.

 …

swish!

With a kick of her feet, accompanied by a flash of thunder, she appeared in front of Hawkeye in an instant.

He Daoyi's words came out of the sheath instantly, and he slashed towards Hawkeye with lightning speed.

But this cut was seen through.

Hawkeye blocked the blow with a black knife in his hand.

"Clang!"

A circle of invisible ripples rippled from around the two of them.

The battle between the world's strongest swordsman and the thunder sword maiden has officially begun!.
