Chapter 981 Shisui Arrives
The sky changes and the scene begins to describe Zoro's memories, the dark and gloomy island of Hades where Devil May Cry meets the outside world for the first time.
On that mysterious island, there is a large dense jungle, which is shaded by tall trees all year round, and sunlight can hardly penetrate the dense branches and leaves.
The air here is filled with dampness, as if the entire island is shrouded in a fog, making people feel daunted and they may be swallowed by monsters in the jungle at any time.
"What a trouble. Another Killian shows up. I'm in a hurry today and don't want to play with you any more."
A tall and thin monster made entirely of black shadows, a hundred meters tall and wearing a white mask. It has no limbs and its facial features cannot be seen under the mask. There is a hole in the middle of its body.
Beside him was a group of beast monsters that also had holes in their bodies. These monsters that came out of hell were collectively called Void.
It is formed by the resentment of living beings after their death, a collection of various negative emotions. Having lost the chance of reincarnation, they can only wander in hell, trying to find a way to leave hell.
Occasionally, by accident, a virtual being would come to the human world from hell through a territorial crack in the Hades Island. At this time, the guardian of the island would be needed to work tirelessly to clear out the monsters.
After studying on Hades Island for two and a half years, Zoro is no longer the swordsman he was two years ago. He is now capable of fighting against a lone Hollow.
Zoro flew in the air, three swords in his hands and mouth spinning rapidly, emitting purple light. His eyes were firm, full of determination and strength. The swordsman shouted loudly: "Yan Wang·Three Swords Style·Purgatory Demon Slash"!
As his words fell, three purple slashes flew out from his sword, intertwining with each other to form a huge purple light. This light illuminated the entire sky, as if to swallow everything.
Feeling this powerful force, Xu instinctively raised his head in fear, trying to avoid the attack.
But it was too late, three purple lights instantly hit its body, cutting it in half.
The hundred-meter-tall Hollow was given special attention, and its body was cut into three pieces. Zoro did not leave the monster enough time. If the opponent released the Hollow, it would only cause more trouble.
The lowest level Xu beside Daxu were not spared. After being beheaded, their bodies turned into countless pieces and slowly disappeared on the spot, saving the trouble of cleaning up the corpses.
"It's time to call it a day," Zoro put the three swords back into their sheaths. At this moment, he had two famous swords tied near his belt on both sides of his waist.
The Sandai Kitetsu is the sword of the worst quality, followed by Setsuzou, and then the remaining two are Shusui and Wado Ichimonji, which are at the level of large swords of the twenty-first grade.
Now Zoro's swordsman configuration is already extremely close to that of a great swordsman. The swords held by swordsmen below the great swordsman are not as luxurious as his.
Just like Zoro's true level now, he is in a stage where he is neither up nor down. He will definitely not be able to defeat a great swordsman, but he can easily defeat an ordinary swordsman.
Suddenly, Zoro felt an extra weight on his back. He knew without guessing that it was the little pink-haired kid jumping on his back again.
"Green Master, I'm here to call you for dinner. Xiao Ba has returned to the camp. We have a guest today whom you don't know. Come dine with us."
The girl with the pink jade bracelet on Zoro's back, although she looks young, is a pink-haired little loli. Even Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't know her actual age. Yachiryu Kusaka's childish face has never changed.
Kusaka Yachiryu's attribute of being a directionally challenged person is slightly weaker than Zoro's, but at least he can find the target he wants in the dense jungle.
As long as you don't let the little pink-haired girl lead the way, everything will be fine. Zoro has been led into the encirclement of the Hollows by Yachiryu Kusaka many times, and the two of them have been through life and death together.
Every time they came out alive, the swordsman would fight with the little girl. Yachiryu Kusaka especially liked to bite people, and he would always leave Zoro's face full of teeth marks.
This time, the little pink-haired girl who was leading the way on the swordsman's back did not show her poor sense of direction and successfully brought the directionally challenged Zoro back to the temporary camp.
If Zoro relies on himself to find his way home, the chances are basically zero, and he probably won't be able to get out of the jungle in his lifetime.
The camp was set up on a stone wall that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. All the nearby trees were cut down, and the view area was very wide. The only disadvantage was that it was easy to be surrounded.
Every time when Zoro was resting in the camp, he would wake up from his sleep, pick up his famous sword, and join in the fight against the Hollow.
Almost every fight lasts for a day and a night, and you can only consider yourself unlucky and make up for the sleep the next day. The Xu that escape from the cracks in Hell have no pattern to follow, so you can only kill them one by one and not let them leave the Underworld Island alive.
After entering the camp, you can see a one-eyed spiked head wearing an eye patch, using a long knife in his hand to cut up the corpse of a sea beast, the prey caught from the nearby deep sea.
Character Notes: Guardian of the Dark Island - Kenpachi Zaraki
Yachiru Kusaka jumped off from his shoulder and joined Zoro in dividing the prey. It was rare for Kenpachi Zaraki to hunt in the sea, and this man only thought about himself when cooking, and he was a great eater.
Outsiders need to take the initiative to divide their food, otherwise a whole set of huge sea beasts will be eaten by Kenpachi Zaraki alone. Zoro doesn't want to go hungry and fight a life-and-death battle with the island guards.
When using the Sandai Kitetsu to cut the thigh of the sea beast, Zoro noticed that there was a stranger sitting in the corner. He didn't notice it when he returned to the camp. The other party's breath was hidden so well.
A young man with short hair, no trace of time on his face, fair and tender, very handsome, carrying a samurai sword behind him, dressed simply in black, his whole temperament is very melancholy.
Yachiru Kusaka introduced Zoro: "Midori-kun's name is Uchiha Shisui. He is one of the few good people I have ever met. I get a lot of news about the Underworld Island from him. Occasionally when he comes over, he brings me some small gifts."
Uchiha? What a strange surname. During this period of time, Zoro had never seen the Uchiha clan, nor did he know how powerful this clan was.
The pair of eyes inherited through blood made the Uchiha clan invincible on the sea. Unfortunately, this bloodline was punished by heaven, and not many members of the clan survived. Every death was one less.
Uchiha Shisui once cooperated with the clown Buggy. At the cost of losing an eye, he tampered with the memory of the navy hero Garp and erased all traces of the Pirate King's daughter An from the mainstream vision.
He was just forced to cooperate with the pirates. When his cooperation with Buggy the Clown expired, the two naturally parted ways. Uchiha Shisui had a lot of his own things to do.
The four people put their food on the fire and roasted it. While waiting for the food to be cooked, Uchiha Shisui brought bad news. He came to the Dark Island this time to seek external help.
