"A mere... Tianlong?"
Fegalande Geiringer looked at Luffy carefully.
If the other party still has Joey Boy's will, based on his status, he does have the right to despise them.
But now Luffy has obviously become an independent individual, an ordinary 'Emperor of the Sea', and the new Yonko with a name but no power!
"Arrogant!"
Bang~
Fegalande Geiringer slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and the blue-purple blade shone with cold light, reflecting between Luffy's eyes and the bridge of his nose.
This is his declaration of war, and his knife has not been stained with blood for a long time!
Tread~tap~tap~
With his feet on the rubberized sea, Fegaland walked slowly towards Luffy. As a thorough action man, he was accustomed to using practical actions to silence his opponents.
"Zoron..."
"Um?"
"Kill it."
"Leave it to me!" On the other side, Zoro licked his lips excitedly and stood directly in front of Luffy.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, two afterimages flashed past, and the crisp and sweet sound of metal knocking resounded throughout the audience. This was the collision of knives.
Sparks fly!
Fegaland and Sauron met their opponents, and after a blow, both of them showed surprised expressions.
Fegaland was surprised that Sauron could block his attack. This was not something ordinary swordsmen could do.
As for Sauron, he was shocked that the old man in front of him was not inferior to him in terms of strength and did not match his age at all.
"Shigetsuki Ryoma's 'Autumn Water'? It is indeed the black sword of the past. Unfortunately, the remaining will has died and returned to the ranks of mortal swords."
"It's a mortal sword, that's true, but I'm attracted to your sword!"
Zoro did not refute, the will of the dragon and horse that resided in the autumn water had indeed died, and it had also lost its previous spirituality.
In addition to workmanship and sharpness, spirituality is also the criterion for judging famous swords.
Bloodthirsty, majestic, cold, majestic...
Due to differences in craftsmen and materials, famous swords can easily accommodate the will of the sword owner. This is the real reason why famous swords are rare!
"My knife?"
Fegaland laughed dumbly, glanced at his weapon, and said solemnly:
"The supreme sharp sword - Ulysses S. Grant, for hundreds of years, has been passed between kings and British masters of various countries. It is a triumphal blade that condenses supreme power."
"With your status, you don't deserve it!"
Like Hawkeye's Night, as the supreme sharp knife, Ulysses S. Grant also has his own unique attributes——
That is the power to unite your own camp!
In short, the more people and strength it has, the greater its power, so it is loved by monarchs.
"Oh?" Zoro frowned slightly, a weapon with this kind of characteristics was obviously not suitable for him.
But there is no solution. If you can make it into a black knife that matches your own, all problems will be solved!
Unfortunately, except for Wado Ichimon, even the 'Autumn Water' and the 'Onimaru' presented by Bista showed no sign of turning into a black sword, let alone changing the characteristics of the Supreme Knife itself.
It’s not that it’s difficult, but the chances are very slim, and you may not be able to complete it even in your lifetime!
Sudden,
clang!
In a flash of cold light, Sauron blocked Fegaland's thrust with the thick back of his sword, and the soles of his feet drew a deep ravine on the ground.
"It's not a good habit to sneak up on others when they are distracted, bad old man."
"Dachenshao!!!"
boom--
In an instant, a ghostly Shura shadow appeared behind Sauron, and the invisible aura was instantly cut off.
That was the power that Fegaland had just gathered, the power that the Celestial Dragon was born with due to his high position.
"Ghost energy!" Fegaland narrowed his eyes slightly. This familiar sense of oppression reminded him of his old rival, 'Ghost' Keiichi Sonobe.
Like Ulysses S. Grant, ghost energy is also a use of force.
It seems that the opponent is very sharp and found a way to deal with it so quickly.
Wow!
The breeze blew across his face, and as if he sensed something, Ulysses S. Grant began to tremble violently.
"Evil Mirror Prison!"
Fegaland flipped his wrist and slashed forward.
The death aura spread rapidly, and at the same time, dozens of invisible chains shot out, entangled in Shura's shadow, and tied it up tightly.
Behind Fegaland, a hazy illusion appeared, and there were countless shrill and piercing wailing sounds, like the roar of a ghost, which made people's scalp numb.
This is a move he specially developed to deal with Keiichi Sonobe. It intercepts the remaining will of thousands of creatures who died under his sword, and uses the power of the netherworld to suppress the enemy.
"No matter how terrifying Shura is, he can only surrender obediently in front of the legendary Pure Land of Underworld, let alone a 'little devil' like you!"
Your opponent may be the person who knows you best besides yourself, especially Fegaland, who was defeated by Keiichi Sonobe.
His understanding of ghost energy has reached a jaw-dropping level.
Um? ! !
Across from him, Zoro looked solemn.
Although he couldn't see those phantoms, he clearly felt that his ghost energy seemed to be suppressed by something, and he could no longer use it normally.
This is a battle at the level of a great swordsman. Compared with a simple competition of moves and power, the great swordsman has gradually evolved into a battle at the level of spiritual will.
This stage is a deeper exploration of the world and the way of swordsmanship, and has initially qualified to touch the realm of nothingness!
Unlike most swordsmen, Zoro's growth trajectory can be said to be unique. He initially understood ghost energy when he was still very weak, and directly established the foundation of a great swordsman.
This is why Hawkeye was optimistic about Sauron in the first place!
After all, Sauron's strength was beyond anyone's imagination at that time, and there were even fewer determined swordsmen, but he was the only one who gained Hawkeye's favor.
"Roar--"
Suddenly, an angry roar echoed through the sky, followed by a click and broken sounds.
I saw the phantom of Shura behind Sauron suddenly breaking free from the chains. At the same time, his appearance also underwent earth-shaking changes, and finally transformed into an old-looking warrior.
The shadow's eyes are full of vicissitudes, and just one glance makes people feel like they have fallen into an ice cave, a samurai holding three swords!
What's even more strange is that not only does this warrior's eyebrows look very similar to Sauron's, but his shadow is almost solid, to the point where it's visible to the naked eye.
"How is that possible~"
Fegaland exclaimed in surprise, a rare lapse in emotion.
He has never seen such a lifelike 'ghost', as if it has self-awareness, even worse than Keiichi Sonobe.
But this is obviously impossible. How old is Sauron?
His understanding of ghost energy cannot surpass Keiichi Sonobe. This is not a matter of talent, but requires the accumulation of time.
"Finally we meet, young me!" Xuying glanced around, then smiled gently at Sauron, showing a look of relief.
"Are you... me?" At this moment, Sauron's heart was filled with turmoil.
Although the other person's face was a bit old, Zoro had the illusion of looking in a mirror, and his intuition told him that this shadow was himself.
This answer is so ridiculous!
"Yes."
Xuying's eyes were deep and he nodded slightly, "Tianyue chose the timing very cleverly. That day was the last day of my life. Because of your appearance, I was lucky enough to continue in this way."
'Sauron' has no dissatisfaction with what he has become like. He is a dying person, and there is nothing more satisfying than being able to witness the future with him at the end of his life.
"Impossible, Momonosuke and others also traveled through time and space..."
"The past affects the present, and the present cannot change the past, so they 'kill' who they are."
"What about the original them?"
"Nature has been annihilated by time and space. Even if it is as strong as a monster, or even a thousand or ten thousand times stronger than a monster, human beings will never be able to transcend the constraints of time and space."
'Zoron' said matter-of-factly.
His current state is similar to the will that resides on the black knife. The only difference is that the carrier attached is different.
Hearing this, Zoro's eyelids twitched.
Fortunately, he had seen the will of the dragon-slaying swordsman Ryoma before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to accept it... what the hell!
As long as you are a normal person, no matter how crazy you are, this situation is unacceptable.
"I see."
"...That's why Sauron became a road idiot!"
Luffy hammered his palm, feeling as if he suddenly understood.
For example, Sauron wanted to go east, but his subconscious was influenced by another Sauron and went west. It would be strange not to get lost.
Of course, this is not a personality difference, after all, they are both the same person, but their experience leads to different choices!
"Speaking of which, I always feel that Zoro is surprisingly reliable." Usopp mused, stroking his chin, already thinking of changing his teammates.
He is a man who has seen ghosts. Seeing a 'ghost' now seems to be nothing to be alarmed about.
Although Perona's ghost pales in comparison to 'Zoron'.
To be more precise, in the face of something beyond his own abilities, Usopp had already laid down.
I don’t know if it’s dangerous or not, but he can’t resist!
"Is it the same as Su Mu Qianhe?"
Unlike the rest of the Straw Hats, Robin immediately thought of Qianhe.
During the battle of the Beast Pirates, through the mouth of Overlord Rocks, the plan of Qianhe in the future time and space was revealed to the world.
Subsequently, countless ambitious people rushed to follow suit, searching for passages to the future time and space all over the world, trying to replicate the miracle of Qianhe, but in the end they all failed.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the probability of success is infinitely close to zero. There are too many chances. Even if the passage is successfully found, no one will succeed!
"So envious~" Nami shed tears of envy as she looked at Zoro, who was still confused.
If she had such an opportunity, not to mention defeating the evil dragon, she would at least be able to protect Bellemere.
"Me too." Usopp agreed with his face.
He used to think that Zoro was the hardest working one among them, and it was natural for him to achieve his current achievements.
but now……
There were only two words in Usopp's heart: trash!
Others can become a great swordsman because they work hard enough and have enough talent, but Sauron can become a great swordsman because he has been a great swordsman since he was born.
Apart from physical fitness, he was born with everything that belongs to a great swordsman, but he was too slow. It took him more than twenty years to barely return to this stage. It was a waste of natural resources!
"If it were me..."
Thinking of this, the manly Usopp unconsciously loaded the bigmon template for himself:
At the age of only five, he commanded 8,000 subordinates, traveled across the East China Sea and achieved great fame. At the age of ten, he broke through to the realm of great swordsman. At the age of twelve, he became the youngest Yonko in history. At the age of eighteen, he reached the top and became the youngest emperor in history. The strong pirate king.
As for the brave sea warriors…
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want that humble dream, who makes him a pirate? A pirate who doesn’t want to be the Pirate King is not a good pirate!
"Don't deny my efforts, asshole."
The envious looks on the faces of his companions deeply hurt Zoro's self-esteem.
That kind of look was like seeing a fool who had just gotten lucky.
He is where he is today, all thanks to his own efforts. The help of ghost energy is not as great as expected, or it starts to gradually play its role when he reaches the level of a great swordsman.
"嘁~"
"Have you been discovered yet? There's really nothing you can do about it!" The phantom 'Zoro' raised his eyebrows, as if you were right, it's all my fault.
"You..." Zoro almost cursed, but finally closed his mouth sensibly.
Although he was a little aggrieved, as one of the few 'smart people' in the Straw Hats, he would not be stupid enough to scold himself.
If you hurt yourself a thousand, you will lose eight hundred!
"Hmph, a lost dog."
Fegaland had regained his composure at this time.
He was indeed shocked at first, but when he thought about the Joyboy will stripped out of Luffy, he immediately felt relieved.
Including Ryoma's will, the emergence of Sauron's will is not accidental, nor is it the result of the right time, but it has to be so.
Joyboy's will is unparalleled in contagiousness, and living people will be assimilated, let alone 'Sauron' who is the form of will.
The real situation should be that if they don’t show up again, they will die out completely!
In other words, it was Luffy's golden finger that killed Zoro's hidden golden finger. This was the result of premature catalysis.
"What he said..." Zoro's face turned gloomy. He had experienced the awakening of Ryoma's will and could generally understand what the other party said.
If what the other party said is true, I am afraid that this self is not long gone and will dissipate soon.
"Indeed, that guy's will is very violent, especially after being stripped away. If I hadn't died not long ago, I wouldn't be able to hold on long ago!"
"So, this might be the last time?"
"Judging from the number of enemies, that's right!"
'Zoron' sighed, after finally waiting until he became a great swordsman, he still had many things he wanted to teach Sauron.
Unfortunately, God did not follow his wishes. Luffy stripped Joeyboy's will too early and met the Knights of God.
If you don't do something, your younger self will die!
"It doesn't matter."
"Henryk, where is the thing?" Hilliard turned around and asked.
Unlike others, Hilliard didn't care about Sauron or the shadow. He had absolute confidence in himself.
As long as the goal is accomplished, the rest is just side effects.
"On him." Henrik pointed at Luffy, trying to see something through his trouser pocket, but unfortunately the deflated leaky pocket didn't look like it contained anything.
"Yes, in the teeth."
Luffy grinned and opened his mouth with his hands. One of the slightly bulging teeth was particularly unique, with a small knot on it.
After all, this was Joyboy's will. Luffy didn't want to hand it over to anyone else and was afraid of losing it, so he had to put it in a cavity.
ha? ! !
Henryk's face was full of black lines, and the awe of the Nika Fruit and Joyboy disappeared in his heart in an instant.
This kind of development direction,
Are you sure you're not teasing him?
"By the way, Nami said this is a secret and can't be told to anyone else. You guys shouldn't tell anyone!" Then, Luffy seemed to have remembered something and looked at everyone expectantly.
His eyes were full of provocation and his attitude was very arrogant.
"This kind of character is really bad!"
"It seems that I have to beat you to the ground to get what I want."
Hilliard could probably guess what Luffy was thinking, which was to provoke them in this way and make them target him alone.
"It's a pity that disobedient people have no right to live. You will all die here today. There is no other option!"
…
