Chapter 412 Fierce Battle
After a fierce battle, Nami managed to hold out for a full minute and finally defeated Hachi, but she was seriously injured in the process and had to be replaced.
Meanwhile, after successfully landing in Loguetown, Zorro unexpectedly encountered someone who looked exactly like his childhood friend Kuina. This Colonel, named Tashigi, was not only equally skilled with a sword but also belonged to Marine Headquarters.
Zorro and Tashigi went to a local weapons shop to choose a knife. Among the many knives, Zorro immediately took a liking to the cursed sword Sandai Kitetsu in the pile of cheap weapons. Although he had heard that this sword was a cursed sword that devoured its master, he still decided to try it out for himself to see if he was just lucky or if the cursed sword was more powerful.
Zorro's courage and decisiveness earned him the deep respect of the weapons shop owner, Ipponmatsu. Therefore, Ipponmatsu not only gifted Zorro the demon sword Sandai Kitetsu, but also his family heirloom—the swift sword "Yubashiri."
After buying the sword, Zoro parted ways with Tashigi, each going their own way to find Luffy, who was about to be executed. Finally, Zoro successfully reunited with Luffy, and the two began their escape from Loguetown together.
At this critical moment, Zorro suddenly noticed a subtle change in the demon sword Sandai Kitetsu in his hand. He stared intently at the sword, a strange unease rising in his heart. Could it be that this demon sword, so legendary, truly possessed the eerie spirit of the tales?
To find out the true nature of this demonic sword, Zorro was determined to test its power on the spot. He took a deep breath, gripped the hilt tightly with both hands like iron clamps, and then swung it with all his might, unleashing a powerful strike. In an instant, a cold light flashed past like lightning, as if the entire space itself had been torn apart in that instant.
Zorro's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he stared intently at the demonic sword in his hand. He had only picked up the sword on a whim, but to his utter surprise, he could wield it with such ease. Moreover, the power displayed by this demonic sword far exceeded his expectations.
As Zorro continued to swing, the demon sword darted through the air, each swing unleashing a flash of cold light, as if capable of tearing through the very fabric of space. A surge of unprecedented confidence welled up within Zorro; he felt as if his strength had reached a new breakthrough at this moment.
Just then, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at Whiskey Peak. This mountain, like a sleeping behemoth, stood silently on the earth, surrounded by lush forests, a scene of tranquility and peace. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow, a sight that soothed the soul.
Luffy and his crew strolled along the mountain path, enjoying the rare tranquility. They had assumed this was a safe place to rest, completely unaware that a crisis was quietly approaching.
However, Zorro was not fooled by the apparent tranquility. His sharp eyes seemed to pierce through the surface, discerning the danger lurking beneath. His intuition told him that this seemingly peaceful place might actually harbor a great threat.
Sure enough, as they entered the village, a group of Baroque Works members suddenly appeared before them like ghosts. These people greeted Luffy and his crew with bright smiles and sweet talk, trying to lower their guard.
However, Zorro's gaze remained fixed on these people, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he sensed something unnatural in their smiles. His right hand instinctively gripped the demon sword at his waist, ready to face any potential danger.
Just then, Zorro suddenly flashed forward, rushing towards the enemy with lightning speed. His movements were so fast that no one could see him clearly. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the enemy like a ghost, his demon sword flashing rapidly in the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.
In an instant, swords clashed, their blades flashing, a dazzling light enveloping the entire world. Before the enemies could even react, they were struck down by Zorro's ghostly attacks. Their bodies fell to the ground like scarecrows blown over by a hurricane, utterly powerless to resist.
Zorro's every strike was precise and deadly; his movements were lightning-fast, making his moves impossible to anticipate. His attacks were like a whirlwind, giving his enemies no chance to breathe. In this brief but intense battle, Zorro displayed astonishing strength and superb combat skills.
In the end, Zorro swiftly and decisively wiped out all the enemies. His movements were so fast that no one could react in time. In the blink of an eye, the enemies fell to the ground like harvested wheat, utterly powerless to resist.
Zoro's record is astonishing—a hundred pirate hunters killed in a single battle! This glorious achievement made him a household name, the focus of everyone's attention. Whether on the turbulent sea or on the vast land, people praised his strength and regarded him as a legendary figure.
The members of Baroque Works were stunned by Zoro's immense strength. They had initially thought Zoro was just an ordinary pirate, nothing to fear. However, reality delivered a resounding slap in the face. Zoro's power far exceeded their expectations, with some even mistakenly believing that Zoro, rather than Luffy, was the captain with a bounty of 3000 million Berries.
Little Garden—the name sounds vibrant and lively, like a place full of joy and surprises. However, when the Straw Hat crew left Whiskey Peak and set foot on this land, they discovered that it harbored countless unknown dangers and challenges.
Alongside the Straw Hat crew is Nefertari D. Vivi. This brave princess has experienced many adventures with the Straw Hats, and her courage and wisdom have earned everyone's respect and affection. In the Little Garden, they meet two giants—Brogy and Dorry. These two giants are enormous in size and possess immense strength, but they have kind and pure hearts.
However, peaceful times are always fleeting. In the fierce battle with Mr. 3 Galdino, Zoro, Nami, and Vivi were unfortunately immobilized by Mr. 3's Devil Fruit power, their bodies completely stripped of their freedom, unable to even move a single finger. Mr. 3, with a ferocious expression, approached them step by step, his eyes revealing undisguised killing intent. The entire scene was incredibly tense, making it hard to breathe.
At this critical moment, Luffy suddenly displayed his astonishing strength. Like a burning meteor, he charged towards Mr. 3 at incredible speed, instantly knocking him away. This attack not only successfully rescued Zoro, Nami, and Vivi, but also made everyone take notice of Luffy's power.
However, the instant Luffy defeated Mr. 3, a raging fire suddenly erupted, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire battlefield. The flames, like a roaring beast, raged wildly, the intense heat making it almost impossible to breathe.
Amidst the raging flames, Zorro unleashed his signature technique without hesitation—"Burning Demon Slash!" He gripped three renowned swords tightly in both hands, the blades instantly engulfed in flames, gleaming with dazzling light. With a roar, Zorro swung his three swords with incredible force, the blades flashing like lightning, tearing through the air and slashing fiercely towards Mr. 5 with unparalleled power!
This strike was like a thunderbolt, incredibly powerful. Where the blade passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Mr. 5 hadn't expected Zorro to launch such a fierce attack at this moment. His eyes widened in horror, trying to dodge, but it was too late. Mr. 5 had no time to react and was sent flying by Zorro's thunderous blow. He crashed heavily to the ground like a cannonball, raising a cloud of dust.
After the dust settled, Mr. 5 lay on the ground, utterly powerless and completely incapacitated. Zorro's attack not only demonstrated his formidable strength but also astonished everyone present.
At that moment, the two giants appeared before the Straw Hat crew. Their towering figures, like mountains, inspired awe. However, instead of attacking the Straw Hats, the two giants smiled kindly and saw them off.
Due to Nami's sudden illness and deteriorating condition, the Straw Hat crew was forced to change their original course and head to the Drum Kingdom, a country renowned for its medical expertise, to find a doctor. However, in this icy and snowy land, Zoro made an unexpected decision—he decided to go winter swimming!
However, just as Zorro was enjoying the fun of winter swimming, a sudden avalanche swept in. In the blink of an eye, the huge snow wave, like a ferocious beast, completely buried Zorro under the thick snow.
Fortunately, Usopp and Vivi discovered Zorro buried in the snow in time and quickly launched a rescue operation. After some effort, they finally dug Zorro out of the snowdrift. However, Zorro was completely covered in ice and snow and was shivering from the cold. So, without hesitation, he stole a piece of clothing from one of Wapol's men and put it on to ward off the cold.
As Dalton led Zoro and the others on their arduous climb to the summit, their hearts were filled with anticipation and curiosity about the unknown. Finally, when they reached the top, panting heavily, the sight before them stunned them! Luffy stood atop the mountain, while his opponent—Wapol—was blasted away like a cannonball, disappearing into the distant horizon. This breathtaking scene left Zoro and the others speechless; they had never imagined Luffy possessed such immense power.
The Straw Hat crew continued their journey, arriving at the Kingdom of Alabasta. This country was filled with exotic charm, its streets lined with shops and bustling crowds. However, just as they were immersed in this lively atmosphere, a mysterious woman appeared before them. She was Princess Nefert D. Vivi of Alabasta. Vivi told the Straw Hat crew about the conspiracy of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He intended to seize power in Alabasta and turn it into his private domain. Vivi pleaded with the Straw Hat crew to help her thwart this plot and save Alabasta.
During this time, Zorro engaged in a thrilling battle with "Mr. 1" Daz Bones in Albana! Daz Bones, Crocodile's subordinate, possessed an exceptionally tough body, rendering ordinary attacks almost ineffective against him. However, Zorro was not intimidated by his opponent's strength. Relying on his superior swordsmanship and unwavering fighting spirit, he waged a desperate struggle against Daz Bones.
During the fierce battle, Zorro gradually comprehended a new power—the power to cut through steel! Every swing of his sword carried unparalleled power, and finally, in a fierce attack, Zorro successfully severed Daz Bones' body, winning the battle.
Afterwards, Zoro's heroic deeds spread throughout the Alabasta Kingdom, and he was given a bounty of 6000 million Berries. This high bounty not only proved Zoro's strength but also made him a target for many pirates.
Zorro's fierce battle with "Mr. 1" Daz Bones became a major turning point in his life. In this battle, he not only demonstrated formidable strength, but more importantly, he comprehended a new power, which further enhanced his swordsmanship.
Luffy and Zoro, having flown to the sky island, arrived in Mock Town. This place was filled with all sorts of strange people and events, a dazzling sight. However, Luffy and Zoro encountered ridicule and insults from Bellamy and his gang.
Bellamy was an arrogant and domineering guy. Seeing Luffy and Zoro swear not to fight, he thought they were weak and easy to bully. He and his group of subordinates mocked and ridiculed Luffy and Zoro, and even tried to physically assault them. However, Luffy and Zoro did not retaliate; they chose to endure it.
