Tien Shinhan's Defeat

"Don't worry, Chiaotzu! Even if you lose, it's okay, I'll avenge you!"

Tien Shinhan glanced at Chiaotzu, and seeing that he wasn't injured, he breathed a sigh of relief before speaking.

"No... no, Brother Tian, even you couldn't possibly be her match!"

Upon hearing Tien Shinhan's words, Chiaotzu's already pale face turned almost deathly ashen. Unlike Tien Shinhan, as a psychic, he truly understood how terrifying Tatsumaki was. Even with all his confidence in Tien Shinhan, he knew very well that Tien Shinhan was no match for Tatsumaki.

"Hmph, I think you're just scared out of your wits. All you do is boost others' morale and demoralize your own!"

Master Shen, who had also come over, looked grim and snorted twice. Chiaotzu hurriedly waved his hand, trying to explain, but Tien Shinhan stopped him.

"Don't worry, Chiaotzu, I'll be careful when dealing with her!"

With a wry smile, Chiaotzu knew that Tien Shinhan's personality was impossible to persuade, so he could only secretly pray that he wouldn't get beaten too badly.

"The fourth match is Tien Shinhan versus Zoro!"

Hearing the sound from the player, Tien Shinhan waved to his junior brother and then stepped onto the ring.

"It's finally my turn!"

Tien Shinhan looked very confident. As the top disciple of the Crane School, although he had not reached the level of his strength five years later, which was almost surpassing that of the older generation of masters, his current strength was still among the top of the younger generation. In terms of combat power, that was close to 100 points.

Opposite him, Zoro slowly walked onto the ring, holding a sword in both hands, with a long sword also between his teeth.

"Three-Sword Style, Zoro, please instruct me!"

Tien Shinhan found Zoro's act of biting the knife with his mouth strange, but like the Pirate World, the Dragon Ball World was originally a comedy manga with all sorts of strange and wonderful characters, so he didn't say anything to mock him.

"Crane School, Tien Shinhan, please guide me!"

Logically speaking, Tien Shinhan and Zoro are worlds apart in strength, even though Tien Shinhan is just a supporting character in an anime like Dragon Ball where planets can be easily destroyed.

However, in the later stages, this guy was still considered one of the top fighters on Earth. When he was going all out with his full power, even risking his life, he had a terrifying feat of stopping Majin Buu.

In the world of Pirate King, where Zoro lives, the strongest fighters are at most capable of destroying an island, which is roughly the same level of destructive power as destroying a city.

However, Zoro is now in his complete form. Under Vegapunk's influence, Zoro is even stronger than he was at the end of the original story, making him a true Four Emperors- level fighter.

The current Tien Shinhan is even weaker than when he first appeared in the original work. He was originally supposed to make his real appearance five years later, but now he has appeared five years earlier, so his strength has naturally been greatly weakened.

In this way, Zoro is at max level, actually has a slight advantage in terms of raw strength when facing a weakened version of Tien Shinhan Zoro level zero.

"Three-Sword Style, Tiger Hunt!"

"Thirty-six troubles in one lifetime... Three-Sword Style: 1080 Pound Phoenix!"

"Nine mountains and eight seas constitute one world... Three Thousand Worlds!"

On stage, Zoro recited poetry as he fought, while a Caped Baldy watching from below stared wide-eyed:

"Wow, that's awesome! Now this is what a real battle should be like!"

Well, although all these people on stage combined wouldn't be enough to slap the Caped Baldy, it has to be admitted that Zoro's fighting style is indeed very cool, and it's the complete opposite of a certain Caped Baldy whose fighting style is extremely simple.

However, although Zoro is incredibly cool, Tien Shinhan is no pushover either. Even though he is slightly weaker than Zoro, Crane School, with the help of the Crane School's incredibly agile Levitation Technique, managed to block and dodge all of Zoro's attacks.

While the Navy world does possess the ability to fly, aside from the occasional Devil Fruit User the Float-Float Fruit or the Gravity Devil Fruit User, those who rely on Taijutsu only use Geppo to maintain airtime. The vast majority of Devil Fruit User fly using their wings, making them far less agile than those who rely entirely on Levitation Technique that do not depend on limbs.

Of course, Zoro's Dual-Color Haki and Flying Slash also gave Tien Shinhan a lot of trouble. Compared to the powerful ki, the Flying Slash is much less powerful, but it consumes far less ki blasts like the Dodompa and Kamehameha.

At least if it were Tien Shinhan, he definitely wouldn't be able to use such ranged attacks repeatedly like Zoro.

"This guy... although his Three-Sword Style seems funny, the power of his swordsmanship is truly astonishing!"

Tien Shinhan was flying in the sky, took a couple of breaths, touched the bleeding wounds on his body, and his eyes became serious for a moment.

"Even in this situation, he doesn't seem to be expending much energy? Sure enough, the sword-like energy that guy used didn't consume much energy!"

Compared to the Dragon Ball World, the Pirate World may be far less destructive, but it surpasses it in endurance. At least in the Dragon Ball World, there is no such thing as fighting for days and nights.

Zoro, this Great Swordmaster, may not have the stamina of those Taijutsu masters of the same level, but he is still someone who can fight for three days and three nights. Compared to him, Tien Shinhan is far inferior.

"It seems we have no choice but to use our ultimate moves to decide the outcome... Although this guy's swordsmanship is quite superb, he doesn't seem to have any particularly powerful techniques!"

Although swordsmen are known for their offensive power in the Pirate World, their destructive Tri-Beam is far inferior to that of martial artists of the same level in Dragon Ball.

Zoro also sensed the change in his opponent. He stared at Tien Shinhan, who was floating in the sky, gripped his twin swords tightly, and looked at his opponent with serious eyes.

Tien Shinhan pointed one finger at the sky, a faint golden light emanating from his fingertip. He hasn't developed the Tri-Beam yet; his strongest move is the Dodompa.

However, unlike the quick and easy type of strikes used in regular Crane School, such as the Dodon Dodompa Skill, this time, Tien Shinhan's fingertip energy formed a small sphere, which began to expand to the size of a ball as he continuously channeled his ki into it.

A terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from the sword. Even though the two sides had different systems, Zoro's Observation Haki could still sense the bone-chilling danger. Faced with the threat of the enemy in the sky, Zoro did not have any intention of defense or evasion. Instead, he wrapped all of his Armament Haki around the three swords.

"Take this— Dodompa!"

"Three-Sword Style, Purgatory Oni Giri!"

The three sword beams collided with the beam of light descending from the sky. Moments later, the three Flying Slash shattered by the Dodompa, leaving only Zoro himself with a defense formed by his three swords. He managed to withstand the Dodompa, but was still pushed back repeatedly. The metal arena beneath his feet began to crumble, and his feet plowed out two fine grooves.

Tien Shinhan exerted almost all his strength, constantly unleashing his Ki energy to push Zoro back to the edge of the ring. Zoro gritted his teeth, continuously activating his Haki, trying his best to regain his footing.

"Damn it, I can't hold on any longer!"

At this moment, it is not Zoro, who has been pushed to the edge, who is in dire straits, but Tien Shinhan, who seems to have a great advantage. The energy in the Dragon Ball is indeed powerful, but the consumption of energy is also considerable.

Compared to Tien Shinhan's high burst of energy and high energy expenditure, Zoro's aura was very stable. In fact, due to his emotional excitement and high fighting spirit, Tien Shinhan perceived that Zoro's aura had even increased slightly.

Although both are shonen manga, without Saiyan blood, the strong characters in Dragon Ball don't have the ability to level up directly in battle; at most, they can only increase their fighting power after recovery.

On the contrary, as physical strength is depleted, immediate combat power will decrease. Tien Shinhan's use of the Dodompa was almost an all-out effort, if not a desperate one.

Sweat poured down Tien Shinhan's forehead, veins bulging, and he gritted his teeth, but still couldn't maintain a steady output. Zoro roared, unleashing the Ki Blast his three swords simultaneously, forcefully propelling Tien Shinhan into the sky against the ki blast.

After catching his breath, Zoro smiled and looked back at Tien Shinhan, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

However, Tien Shinhan is not in a good state right now. As a character who can develop a life-threatening skill like the Tri-Beam, Tien Shinhan is extremely skilled at how to squeeze out the ki in his body. Therefore, in that Do-Do -Dodompa just now, he almost exhausted 99% of his ki energy.

The ki in Dragon Ball is almost a variant of life energy. After a large amount of it is consumed, it can even be life-threatening. Although Tien Shinhan has not reached that level yet, his fighting power has already been reduced by eight or nine tenths.

Even so, Tien Shinhan would not admit defeat. He stopped using the energy-consuming Levitation Technique and adopted a stance reminiscent of the Crane School.

Zoro narrowed his eyes slightly. His Observation Haki had already sensed the weakening of his opponent's strength, but he had no intention of showing any mercy. In Zoro's view, that would be a complete insult to his opponent.

"Three-Sword Style - Asura Oni Giri!"

A flash of light, and Tien Shinhan's fist stopped just before it touched Zoro's clothes. Three bloody gashes instantly appeared on his body, and blood gushed out. Then, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Brother Tian!"

With a worried look on her face, Chiaotzu hurriedly went up and carried Tien Shinhan down. At this time, the medical staff had also arrived urgently and put Tien Shinhan on a stretcher and took it away.

"Damn it, I'm so useless, I actually lost like this!"

Master Shen spoke angrily with a nasty expression, but Mercenary Tao, standing beside him, had a serious look on her face.

Originally, this number one assassin was feeling quite good, believing that he was the undisputed champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

However, after witnessing Ace's ability to transform into flames, Tatsumaki 'Psychic Power Tatsumaki, and Zoro's superb swordsmanship in such a short period of time, he became less confident in himself.

There seem to be too many masters in this World Martial Arts Tournament. Although Mercenary Tao believes that these people have not yet surpassed his own strength, he can also see that, apart from Zoro, neither Tatsumaki nor Ace has truly used their full strength. He has no idea just how strong these two are.

Just then, Mercenary Tao heard his name being called out from the player. His opponent was an old man named Bang.

Without thinking too much, Mercenary Tao flipped and leaped onto the ring. Opposite him, an ordinary old man who looked only slightly more energetic slowly walked onto the ring.

With a slight frown, Mercenary Tao's expression turned serious. The old man in front of him looked as if a gust of wind could blow him over, but the world's number one assassin could vaguely sense the grandmaster's demeanor emanating from him.

This old man is very strong, and he is a martial arts master in the same category as his brother and that old man from the Turtle School!

"Strange, why is someone like you completely unknown? Didn't you leave behind your own martial arts style?"

Upon seeing the Silver Fang stepping onto the arena, Mercenary Tao immediately asked, "Currently, the strongest martial arts styles on Earth are Turtle School and Crane School, but this martial arts master in front of me has not left behind his own style."

"Hehe, there's nothing we can do. The old man's dojo has run into some problems. He accidentally produced a rebellious disciple, and now hardly anyone wants to stay there."

Bang said with a sigh, and of course, he was telling the truth. All the disciples that Bang taught back then were wiped out by Garou. Although they didn't die, their martial arts hearts were shattered, and they were practically useless.

The only remaining disciple... is Acha Zi, who has the worst talent and perseverance among all the disciples. After teaching him for so many years, Acha Zi's fighting ability is probably not even enough to take on three thugs.

Of course, what Bang didn't say was that he wasn't actually from the Dragon Ball World. Otherwise, even if his martial arts style had declined, he was still a world-renowned martial arts grandmaster and wouldn't have no reputation at all.

Mercenary Tao nodded slightly, believing Bang's words. Unlike the One-Punch Man World, which was full of Monsters, the overall environment was more peaceful, and the number of martial artists who could cultivate ki was extremely small. Therefore, on Earth in the Dragon Ball World, although martial arts was a path to heaven, martial artists were not very well-known.

Even the most legendary martial arts masters like Master Roshi Master Shen are only known as myths within the martial arts community; ordinary people have almost never heard of them. Therefore, Mercenary Tao wasn't too surprised by Bang, this suddenly appearing master.

"I see. What a pity that you've run into me again. It seems your martial arts style is destined to be lost!"

Mercenary Tao Pai, a cold smile playing on his lips, spoke directly, intending to put some psychological pressure on Bang.

However, Bang simply smiled and immediately adopted the stance of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist:

"A fist is more powerful than words... Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Bang!"

Mercenary Tao paused for a moment, then also assumed a fighting stance:

"Crane School, Mercenary Tao!"
