Desperate

With a 'bang', Zoro was mercilessly knocked back.

But he immediately attacked again, his blade spinning like a windmill, his black Haki growing ever more fierce.

"Nine Mountains and Eight Seas constitute one world; gathering a thousand worlds creates a smaller world; this world multiplied by three, without exception..."

His eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, at this moment...

He seemed to have transformed into a sharp blade, so sharp it inspired despair.

"But that's still not enough!!"

Nous roared and charged forward.

With wings behind him whipping up wind and thunder, and a longsword in his hand that seemed to blot out the sky, he delivered a powerful and heavy blow that sent Zoro flying, leaving another wound on his chest.

"Boom!"

The aftershocks of the collision exploded across the surrounding sea!

A bottomless rift was torn open from the sea surface, and raging waves roared up, fiercely crashing against the surrounding warships.

In an instant, four or five ships fell into the sea, and the remains of a Sea King were swept ashore.

Horrifying!

The Thousand Sunny was instantly wrecked, almost broken into three pieces.

Nami, Usopp, and the others turned pale with fright.

"Wow, Brother Nous is really fierce!"

Jesus Burgess laughed wildly...

This is the number two member of their Lightning Pirate Group, a terrifying force capable of causing the heavens and earth to tremble when he takes action.

"You bastard..."

Upon witnessing this, Straw Hat Luffy roared in fury, "How dare you harm the Thousand Sunny!!"

He was about to rush over and punch Nous.

But with a whoosh, Jesus Burgess blocked his way and punched him in the face. "You're distracted while fighting me, you little brat."

"Waaah!"

Straw Hat Luffy and Zoro both coughed up blood...

Zoro got up, panting, his body trembling slightly.

Looking at Nous, he gritted his teeth, "It's... not over yet..."

"Ghostly Nine Sword Style..."

He exuded an extremely fierce aura and charged towards Nous once again, his aura becoming even more sharp and terrifying.

"Interesting!"

Seeing Zoro charging towards him like a cheetah, Nous charged forward once more.

He had to admit that Zoro was now a threat to his strength.

"Two Gangrira - Secret Technique - The Six Paths' Passage!"

Zoro's eyes were terrifyingly bright, like stars.

His aura was so powerful it could shatter the heavens; even space itself became blurred by his attack.

"One-Sword Style: Flying Thunder Slash!"

Nous used swordsmanship for the first time!

This simple swordsmanship taught by Ye Liangnai, combined with Nous's terrifying physique and the added power of lightning, clashed with Zoro.

"Bang!"

The surrounding area fell silent instantly, everything blurred, and the surging aftershocks burst forth, spreading wildly in all directions.

Let's all turn Jiumu and back away.

Black Lightning flashed around the clash between Nous and Zoro.

If you look closely, you'll notice that their swords aren't touching.

Nous's longsword emitted an ancient, transparent aura, isolating Zoro's longsword, which was shrouded in black energy.

"Buzz!"

"Rumble!"

"Boom!"

After an explosion, Zoro and Nous retreated again, and surprisingly, Nous had a wound on his chest.

"Hey, that's interesting!"

Nous grinned, and his figure vanished instantly in the lightning.

Zoro's pupils contracted, and without thinking, he quickly retreated, but...

In terms of speed, even Ye Liangnai is no match for Nous in the entire Lightning Pirate Group.
