Chapter 1035 The Invisible Hand
In order not to disturb Miranda's rest, Zoro and Crow jumped out of the window and landed directly behind the black-robed monster.
Miranda may play a key role in the future. This weak and stupid woman cannot die. The battlefield must be moved away from her home. The weak cannot be allowed to die in unknown melee AOE.
Zoro was standing behind the black-robed monster. He had just heard the other person say Nami's name, but he couldn't tell who the other person was from his figure.
After all, the number of people defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates can no longer be counted on one hand. Zoro will only remember those who are stronger than him, and those who are weaker than him do not deserve to have a name.
The crow stood on Zoro's shoulder. Through the vision just now, Uchiha Shisui already knew what the monster looked like. That face was hard to describe and it was really hard to describe.
"You know Nami and you know the Straw Hat Pirates, so you must know my name and you want to seek revenge today."
Zoro placed one hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to fight at any time. If the other party's words did not satisfy him, he would chop off the other person's head immediately.
The moonlight sprinkled coldly on the quiet street corner. The strange man in black robe turned around slowly. His movements were neither hurried nor slow, but with an indescribable eerie aura.
Under the reflection of the cold moonlight, he raised his hands and slowly took off his hood. As the hood slid off, the half-human, half-ghost face of the fishman Aaron was exposed in the moonlight.
A face whose outline was originally recognizable now looked extremely strange, and another face was actually moving continuously on it.
The squirming face seemed to have a consciousness of its own, and the skin was undulating, as if countless small insects were moving around under the skin.
His facial features were distorted, his eyes sometimes bulged out, his mouth sometimes stretched to his ears, and Aaron's already ferocious face became even more terrifying against the backdrop of this strange movement.
The moonlight fell on him, casting a distorted shadow on the ground, as if he was a demon from hell.
Aaron grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, and let out a low laugh that echoed in the quiet night, "Zoro, I wonder if you can recognize me in this state."
When Zoro saw the strange face, he frowned and carefully recalled the memories related to this face. He had never seen such an ugly fishman.
Since it is not time for the reunion yet, Zoro has not yet experienced the adventure of Fish-man Island. He has not seen the species diversity of Fish-man Island, and the number of fish-men he has seen is limited.
"You are the fishman who enslaved Nami's village. It turns out you are not dead."
Zoro thought of what happened in the Cocoa Village. The fishmen relied on their physical advantage and colluded with the neighboring navy to harm the residents of the surrounding islands.
The grassroots navy is so rotten that everyone has complaints about the navy. Zoro was once just a bounty hunter, but was persecuted by the son of a navy and eventually became a pirate.
But he also has to thank the navy. If he had not been tied under the sun, he might not have met Captain Luffy. If there were slight changes in the timeline, there might be a completely different future.
The Fishman Paradise built by the Fishman Arlong was defeated by a fledgling rookie pirate, and Luffy even demolished his house to completely eradicate the problem.
Peace has returned to Kokoyasi Village, and the Straw Hat Pirates have gained a navigator. It is a win-win situation for Zoro. He still has some impression of the Eight Swords Octopus.
"In fact, I have to thank the Straw Hat Boy. If he hadn't led people to cause chaos in Impel Down, I would never have had the chance to escape from that hell in this life, and I wouldn't even be able to achieve what I have today."
The atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating. Aaron stood there quietly. The corners of his clothes, which had been still, suddenly began to shake irregularly. A mysterious and evil force was manipulating it in secret.
Immediately afterwards, invisible black hands emerged from the black-robed monster's body. Those hands were slender but powerful, and could twist irregularly in the air.
The black hands were like a surging tide, continuously grabbing towards Sauron from all directions, with a clear and fierce goal, vowing to tear him to pieces completely.
Zoro's expression was solemn, but there was no fear in his eyes. "I can't even see your Observation Haki. It seems like you haven't lived in vain these years."
The newly learned Observation Haki is unreliable, so Zoro can only rely on his own intuition. He has a wild beast-like intuition for sensing danger.
At the moment when the black hand was about to touch him, Zoro dodged and had no choice but to retreat, pulling out both swords at the same time.
In his hands, he wielded an impenetrable net of swords, and every flash of sword light brought about a fierce slash with every swing.
After the invisible black hand was hit by the sharp blade, it turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated, but a new black hand quickly replaced it and the offensive did not decrease at all.
For a moment, sword shadows and black hands intertwined in the space and the battle was extremely fierce. Could Zoro break through the encirclement of these black hands? The situation fell into a tense stalemate.
Blood was oozing from Zoro's earlobe. Just by being touched by the invisible hand, the swordsman almost had his ear pulled off his face.
He took a few steps back, and a few strands of his green hair were pulled out. He was ground into powder before he hit the ground. Zoro's sweat ran down his Adam's apple and down his abdominal muscles. Swordsmen hated this kind of weird mechanism the most.
What kind of devil fruit did Yu'er Aaron eat? This invisible ability is too extreme, and Zoro can only passively defend temporarily.
"Can you hear it?" Aaron's scales shone with a pitch-black light in the scorching moonlight, and the corners of his cracked mouth were almost stretched to his ears. "The sound of three thousand six hundred arms crawling in the air."
He opened his arms, and the hem of his clothes suddenly rolled up strangely, as if countless transparent octopus tentacles were bursting out of his body, spider-web-like cracks exploded on the stone road, and brick and stone debris floated in the air to form a twisted trajectory.
Zoro bit the Wado Ichimonji horizontally between his teeth, and drew a semicircle with his right hand, and the blade made a sound of tearing cloth as it cut through the air.
Hundreds of severed transparent fingers appeared in the moonlight, with asphalt-like mucus dripping from the broken surfaces.
More sounds of breaking air came from all directions. He turned around and leaned back. Three claw marks brushed past his abdominal muscles, leaving a five-meter-long groove on the stone wall behind him.
"Three Swords Style: Tiger Hunting!"
The storm formed by the slash collided with the invisible waves, and the ground suddenly collapsed into a deep pit with a diameter of ten meters.
Zoro staggered back, three bloody wounds suddenly appeared on his left shoulder, his pupils shrank suddenly - the splattering blood suddenly stopped in mid-air, outlining the outlines of hundreds of transparent arms.
"It must be despairing to see your own blood drawing my invisible hand," Aaron walked over in a pool of blood, with suspended scarlet beads forming a hideous spider web in the air. "I will pull out your bones one by one and make them into wind chimes for memorial purposes."
The battle against the Invisible Hand was too passive, and Zoro tried to get close and chop off Arlong's head.
Those invisible hands were too dense, and he had chopped off at least several hundred of them. His attacks were blocked by these invisible objects, offsetting the damage. He was too relaxed and careless in the early stages and got injured himself.
"Zoro, let me cooperate with you. I can see your invisible hands." Crow standing on Zoro's shoulder revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Even if the invisible hand is blocked from vision, it still needs energy to run. The Sharingan can clearly see the flow of energy and thus determine the location of each invisible hand.
The crow's words surprised the mermaid Aaron, who initially thought that Zoro was bluffing.
