In the video footage, a violent tremor suddenly occurred on the fourth level of the Flower Field where Kyros were located.

The next second, countless stone walls sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain – it was Pica.

Then, the scene shifts back to a short time earlier, where Pica, realizing he couldn't defeat Zoro, used his abilities to escape the fight and flee to the second level.

During this time, he also caused a lot of trouble for the people on the second floor, both from the warriors of the Corrida Colosseum and from his own allies.

Zoro quickly caught up, which is why he broke into the second level.

He reunited with Pica on the second floor, but Pica continued to use her abilities to dodge Zoro's fatal blows.

Just now, after sensing Diamante's defeat above, Pica's eyes darted around, as if she had some grand plan. She broke away from her battle with Zoro again and headed towards the fourth level.

And so, this scene unfolded.

Pica first mocked Diamante, who was also one of the highest-ranking members of the family, for his inadequacy, then looked at Kyros and Rebecca and asked them what kind of existence King Riku was to them.

Without a second thought, Kyros told him unequivocally that King Riku was a great benefactor who had pulled him out of his bad childhood and a good king who had brought peace and stability to the country in the past.

The New World, Dressrosa, inside the Corrida Colosseum.

"Kyros, you flatter me!" King Riku said quietly. "Actually, I'm really not a good king!"

To his surprise, no sooner had he finished speaking than a mocking voice came from behind him, "That's well said, which is why this country needs a young master to rule it, G."

"What?!"

On the other side, in the video footage, Pica, having received the answer from Kyros, did not linger but disappeared before their eyes.

He returned to the second level and began wreaking havoc, attacking the wounded warriors of the Corrida Colosseum, including Baby-5, whom he considered a traitor.

Finally, he reached Zoro, stretched out his head, and lunged at him with a bite, "Stone Bite!"

Zoro drew his sword and slashed, splitting the man's head in two.

Unfortunately, Pica dodged it again with his ability. Then, as if announcing or questioning, he manipulated the rocks to attack Zoro while saying, "Hey! Roronoa Zoro, do you know who's on the Old King's Plateau?"

"The king of this country!" Zoro said as he then chopped down the stone.

"It's the former king," Pica appeared behind Zoro and corrected him.

"What does that have to do with me?" Zoro swung his sword at him again, but he dodged it once more, asking in confusion, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Don't you find it strange? In this world, aggression is commonplace, so why does only Dover suffer so much blame?" Pica reminded him.

"So what? What are you trying to say with all this rambling?!" Zoro retorted, displeased.

"Then I'll be frank! On the Old King's Plateau reside the most important figures of this nation's past, as well as GOD Usopp and two samurai," Pica said. "Right now, it seems the entire nation hopes for King Riku's restoration!"

"So what?!" Zoro asked.

"That's too much of an eyesore! One Dover is enough for the king!" Pica said.

The next second, his voice disappeared from Zoro's ears, along with his presence.

Zoro immediately sensed his surroundings, and the next second, the huge stone statue, which was some distance away from him, suddenly started moving again.

Zoro then realized that he had been tricked by Pica. Pica had lured him to such an extreme place to fight entirely to achieve his own goals.

Then, Pica began to control his enormous body made of stone, heading towards the Old King's Plateau.

Anyone with half a brain could guess what he was planning to do. He intended to wipe out everyone on the Old King's Plateau in one fell swoop, with King Riku being his most desired target.

On the screen, a barrage of curses immediately appeared: {Hey! This rock monster is so shameless! He can't beat Roronoa Zoro, so he attacks the weak. What a piece of trash!}

{As expected of Doflamingo's subordinate, he's just as despicable as him!}

{ King Riku, and all of GOD Usopp's friends, run! Don't let that sissy stone monster get away with it!}

{ Roronoa Zoro, hurry up and think of something! Get rid of this disgusting stone monster quickly!}

The New World, Dressrosa, inside the Royal Palace.

"Charge! Lord Pica, defeat King Riku!" Machvise, Dellinger, and the others shouted.

"Fuck." Doflamingo stood to the side, not saying a word, but laughing to himself.

Suddenly, his Den Den Mushi rang, and Lao G's voice came from the other end, "Young Master, King Riku, we've captured him!"

"Oh! Really! Then bring him over quickly!" Doflamingo replied.

Then, he turned to Rebecca, who had been left in the corner, and said coldly, "Rebecca, don't worry, I'll reunite your family soon."

"Grandpa... Grandpa, even you..." Rebecca, left in the corner, murmured, "Aunt Viola, Father... Father, you must both be well!"

Inside an abandoned factory.

"Father... Father King," Viola said worriedly.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Buffalo's voice rang out from outside the factory, "Search thoroughly! There's a rumor that someone saw Violet, that traitor, in this area."

"Yes, Lord Buffalo!" the group replied in unison.

The next second, a series of clanging sounds came from outside the factory, along with Buffalo's grumbling, "It's all because Baby-5 suddenly disappeared! Now I have to do this task all by myself, it's infuriating!"

Upon hearing this, Viola, who was hiding inside the factory, immediately sought a place to conceal herself while using her abilities to observe Buffalo and the others' actions, calculating in her mind.

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.

"You stinky Moss Head, you're really useless! You actually let that big rock fool you! It's hilarious!" Sanji mocked Zoro, whose expression had slightly changed.

"Shut your stinking mouth, you damn cook! Just watch! My future self will definitely find a way to deal with that stone monster," Zoro said, glaring at him.

"What method? Fly over? You can't use Geppo, do you want me to teach you?" Sanji said cheekily.

"You..."

Zoro was about to retort when he heard Chopper exclaim, "Hey! Sanji, look! Zoro is really flying in the sky!"

"Huh?! What?!"

In the video footage, as Pica gets closer and closer to the Old King's Plateau, Zoro becomes increasingly anxious. Countless methods flash through his mind, but he rejects them all because they prove to be ineffective.

At that moment, a bold idea, after a few seconds of deep thought, was adopted by him.

He approached Elizabello II and her entourage, who were preparing to blast Pica's massive body to pieces with the King Punch. He drew his three swords, put on his headscarf, and addressed the admiral— Orlumbus —who had previously tossed people like bowling balls, saying, "Grab me and throw me with all your might towards that stone monster."

"Ah!" Everyone present was immediately startled, and Orlumbus retorted with displeasure, "Hey! The ability I worked so hard to develop isn't for safely throwing people out of the water!"

"That's right, Roronoa Zoro, let my King Punch smash that guy to pieces!" Elizabello II also stepped forward and said.

"Save your fists for later, Your Majesty." Zoro glanced at him, then, while biting down on the Wado Ichimonji, said to Orlumbus, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll handle that stone monster."

"Alright then!" Orlumbus, seeing the determination in Zoro's eyes, finally relented. "Let's get this straight! I can't guarantee your safety!"

As he spoke, he lifted Zoro up like a chick, and the power within him began to gather in his arm.

"Let's take a snapshot! Time's almost up!" Zoro shouted.

"Then I'm going to throw him away!" Orlumbus lifted Zoro up, and swirling air began to rise around him.

"Come on!" Zoro shouted, and the next second, he charged towards Pica like an arrow released from a bow.

On the other side, Pica, who had already arrived at the Old King's Plateau a short while earlier, opened his massive, mountain-like hand and shouted at King Riku and his followers below, "King Riku, you are not worthy of being a king, nor do you possess the qualities to be one."

As he spoke, Pica slammed his palm downwards.

Suddenly, his hand stopped. It turned out that the people who had been preparing to flee had come to King Riku's side and stood in his way.

This scene immediately drew his mockery, "What? King Riku, have you cleared up the misunderstanding of the past ten years and won back the hearts of the people? How utterly boring! Don't forget, it's precisely because you're a Pacifista that you failed to protect this country! A country needs military force. If you can't even eliminate your own enemies, you have no right to be a king. Let your boring ideals collapse along with you, King Riku."

As he spoke, Pica's hand slammed down again.

"Indeed, failing to protect the country is my incompetence, and I have no intention of ascending the throne again!" King Riku shouted. "But I have done everything I could as a human being! If I cannot survive without killing, then I would rather die, for a country filled with slaughter has no future."

King Riku's words immediately garnered the approval of the crowd surrounding him, but drew ridicule from Pica, who said, "So, good people can't leave their mark on history, because they'll all just as needlessly lose their lives as you."

As he spoke, his enormous hand, as large as the sky, reached out to King Riku and the others, Usopp was so frightened that tears and snot streamed down his face.

At this moment, the camera focuses on Zoro in mid-air.

He began to imbue his three swords with Armament Haki and charged towards Pica at incredible speed, reciting a poem. "Nine mountains and eight seas form one world; gathering a thousand worlds creates a smaller chiliocosm."

As he spoke, he brought the two swords in his hands to his lips, combining them with the Wado Ichimonji he was chanting, forming a triangle that began to rotate. At the same time, the poem he recited continued, "This world multiplied by three, there is no one I cannot sever."

"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique - One Great Thousand Worlds"

"Bass!"

Zoro arrived in front of Pica, and just as his huge hand was about to smash into King Riku and the others, he cleaved Pica's massive body in half at the waist with a single sword stroke, as if it were a piece of paper.

This completely stunned everyone who was watching.

However, Zoro didn't stop. Instead, he passed through Pica's body, which he had cut in half at the waist, and stepped onto the outer wall of the Old King's Plateau. He began to examine Pica, who had been cut in two. After discovering that Pica's upper body could move, he immediately pushed off with his foot and flew towards Pica's upper body, cleaving it vertically in two with another slash. Then, while still in mid-air, he examined Pica's body, which he had cut in half vertically, and found that Pica's right side could move. He immediately slashed at the right side, severing Pica's arm, which then began to move.

Seeing this, Zoro swung his sword again, slicing his arm into several pieces, and shouted, "Get out here, Pica!"

As he spoke, he landed on a rock. "How long are you planning to hide?"

"Hide? You think you can defeat me by forcing me out?" Pica's voice immediately rang out from among the falling rocks. The next second, he emerged from the rocks and appeared in front of Zoro, staring at him across the distance. "You think you can beat me by splitting a few rocks?"

As he spoke, his body turned black, enveloped in Armament Haki. "As long as I have Haki protecting me, you can't do anything to me," Pica said smugly.

"Ha! Haki, huh?" Zoro chuckled, pointing his sword at Pica with disdain. "Only if your Haki is stronger than Haki!"

"My Haki is definitely stronger than yours!" Pica immediately boasted, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Someone like you could never be a match for me."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of recollection crossed Zoro's eyes, and he scoffed, "Do you know what people like you are called? A frog in a well."

As he spoke, he brought the two knives in his hands to his mouth and began to spin them. "I don't have time to waste here with trash like you."

Having said that, he leaped up and charged toward Pica.

"Stop joking!" Pica yelled back, clenching his fist and slamming it at him. "Die, Roronoa Zoro!"

In mid-air, Zoro recited his poem again, "Nine mountains and eight seas, none can be severed by me, Three-Sword Style, Three Thousand Worlds."

"Puff!"

The two collided, but Zoro's sword immediately pierced through Pica's Haki defense, slashing his body and splitting his helmet open. Blood gushed out like a fountain and fell downwards.

"Don't cause trouble for the common people with your lowly thug status!" Zoro said calmly as he elegantly sheathed his two swords.

The next second, the system text appeared. "Pica, the highest-ranking member of the Donquixote Family, VS Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman and Pirate Hunter of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"The victor is Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Pirate Hunter."
