Chapter 990: 202nd Victory
A woman suddenly visited under the moonlight, and Zoro frowned. Is the navy going to cooperate with pirates?
This is not in line with Tashigi's style. In Zoro's impression, Tashigi is not even at the level of a swordsman and is just a follower following behind the Smoker.
"Dashiqi, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Zoro moved his hand away from the hilt of the knife. Tashigi was already an old acquaintance to him, and a respectable marine who would not suddenly go crazy and chop people with a knife.
"Tashigi" looked at Zoro calmly. They hadn't met for many years. She wanted to see how much Zoro's strength had improved over the years.
"Zoro, let's compete again. The 2002nd match. Who will win?"
The voice that remained in the green algae-headed man's memory came out of "Tashigi"'s mouth. At first, Zoro had a puzzled expression on his face, and then he widened his eyes and realized that the woman in black in front of him was definitely not the female navy follower.
"Dashiqi" drew his sword, a cold light flashed, and sword energy like icy gushed out.
The sword energy was extremely sharp and instantly turned into a thorn-cutting blade, shooting along the balcony towards the entire building.
There was a loud bang, and the whole building began to shake violently as if it was hit by an invisible force.
Immediately afterwards, a clear crack began to spread from the place where the sword energy hit, quickly penetrating the walls and floors of the entire building.
Zoro was almost slashed, but he dodged by rolling sideways. The real Dashigi was definitely not that strong! This was already beyond the swordsman.
Amid the dust, the entire building slowly split into two. Without its horizontal support, the half of the building where Zoro was standing began to slowly tilt. It was only a matter of time before it collapsed into ruins.
Miranda was originally afraid that her kindness would attract a vicious wolf, and that the green algae-headed man would break into her house and attack her at night while she was sleeping. A weak woman could not resist a strong man.
However, it turned out that she was overthinking it. She didn't expect that the stranger she invited in was such a gentleman. He slept on the floor as he said he would, and had no intention of disturbing Miranda in the past hour.
Miranda was in the bedroom when she heard a loud noise. It was not the sound of the door being broken. She opened the door and said, "Can I still sleep? What time is it now?..."
Miranda swallowed the rest of her words back in shock at the sight before her. The two-story building that her elders left her was actually split into two.
The half of the building occupied by Zoro kept tilting, and it was estimated that it would collapse and hit the residence next to it in a short time. The cracks in the floor and ceiling and the cold wind blowing in made the woman shiver.
Under the moonlight, a woman in black clothes and holding a famous sword floated in the air and confronted the new acquaintance Zoro. Miranda was just an ordinary citizen and had never seen such a grand scene.
"Sorry not to bother you, please continue."
Miranda slammed the door shut, then locked it and ran back to her bed to hide, fearing that she would be accidentally injured in the ensuing fight between swordsmen.
"My house... woooo... if you want to fight, just fight. Why tear down my house?"
Zoro could not hear the female landlord's complaints. He was already shocked by the sword-drawing slash used by "Tashigi". The remaining cold air around him proved that this was not an ordinary slash. If anyone was unfortunate enough to be touched by it, he would either die or be crippled.
"Who are you! How dare you impersonate her? Is this face yours?"
Zoro is very angry now. The unknown enemy has a familiar face. This is an insult to him and an insult to his youthful memories.
Even if the other person is really a woman, Zoro is not Sanji, and he has no psychological burden to shout and kill a woman.
The precious swords of Wano Country, Shusui and Sandai Kitetsu, were drawn out at the same time. Zoro did not want to use the three-sword style for the time being, and did not need the Wado Ichimonji. He thought that the two-sword style was enough to cut women.
"Why don't you use Wado Ichimonji? Is the white sword on your waist just for decoration?"
"You are not worthy of my three-sword style against a monster like you who stole my memory."
Zoro has experienced many life and death situations on the Island of Hades. This time he obviously misunderstood and thought that "Tashigi" was a monster with the ability to read minds.
Disguised as a dead old friend, she wants to use fragile memories to break through the swordsman's psychological defenses. Kuina, who has been dead for many years, is the white moonlight in Zoro's heart, and no one can tarnish her!
He held Shusui and Sandai Kitetsu in his hands, crossed the two swords in front of him, tensed his muscles, and his armed color domineering wrapped around the swords like black flames. The blade vibrated at a high frequency, rolling up the surrounding airflow to form a small tornado.
"Two Swords Style: Seven Hundred and Twenty Troubled Phoenix!!"
With a low roar, Zoro swung his two swords at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. Two spiral dark green slashes intertwined and burst out. The slash trajectories were like the fangs of a giant beast, and they were accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, and rushed into the sky with unstoppable momentum.
The moment the slash touched the enemy, the energy that rotated 720 degrees exploded, forming a shock wave with a diameter of tens of meters, and even the clouds in the sky were torn apart by the air wave.
"Zoro, if this is all you are capable of, then this victory will belong to me, dance with the sleeves of Shirayuki"
Guina held the Shirayuki in her hand, with the tip of the sword slightly raised. As she moved, a cold breath emanated from the Shirayuki and quickly spread in the air.
Within the circle of "First Dance·Moon White", the surrounding heaven and earth were instantly frozen, a thick layer of ice formed on the ground, and the moisture in the air condensed into ice crystals, floating down.
Everything on the ground was enveloped by this powerful freezing force; trees, flowers, rocks, and even the air turned into ice sculptures.
She stood quietly in the ice ring, feeling the power of Sode Shirayuki, her eyes were cold and firm. In this frozen realm, she was the master and everything was under her control.
The sword energy that Zoro slashed out was also frozen by the ice, forming an ice sculpture in the air, and finally fell from the air due to weightlessness and turned into a pile of powder.
The lower body of the Green Algae Head was frozen in place. He used the energy in his body to resist, but it only slowed down the freezing speed. Soon, the two hands holding the sword were also frozen.
After doing all this, the woman gracefully landed on the ice from the air, walked quickly to Zoro, and snatched the unused Wado Ichimonji from the waist of the man who had lost his ability to move.
"Zoro and Doichimonji have been returned to their original owners. You should have no objection, right?"
A faint smile appeared on "Tashigi"'s face. Zoro still wanted to resist desperately, but his heart and intuition told him that the person in front of him was the dead White Moonlight.
"Kuina...are you still alive?"
Kuina sighed, pulled out the Wado Ichimonji, and placed the shining blade near Zoro's neck. "How pathetic! You are still as weak as ever... You are obviously a man."
Today's winner, Kuina Shimotsuki, defeated Zoro for the 2002th time
