With a flash of steel, the ropes binding Kuina were all severed, and she regained her freedom.

Zoro took out the Blood Medicine he had hidden away with utmost care. "Mu Yu told me to prepare this for you. Drink it, quickly!"

Hearing that Mu Yu had asked Zoro to bring it to her, Kuina did not hesitate. She immediately gulped it down in several mouthfuls.

In an instant, Kuina felt the difference.

The wounds on her body no longer hurt nearly as much as before, and it felt as though her strength had returned as well.

This Blood Medicine was far too miraculous!

"This sword is for you to defend yourself."

Seeing the sword Zoro handed over, Kuina immediately smiled.

She knew that Zoro had been training in Three Sword Style swordsmanship lately.

The fact that he was willing to give her one of his own swords said it all.

"Alright!"

"While the pirates' attention is fixed on Mu Yu and Terukawa's fight, let's get out of here!"

Kuina nodded.

As long as she and Zoro got out of danger, Mu Yu would have a way to break free from the battle. Then they could turn the tables.

But at that moment, a booming voice rang out, instantly ruining their escape plan.

"Men, kill the two brats on the ship! Whoever does it will be promoted directly to officer. That is my promise as captain!"

Zoro and Kuina were startled. They had not expected Terukawa to notice them even from so far away from the battlefield.

Only then did they truly realize just how troublesome that ugly monster, Terukawa, was!

It was hard to imagine just how powerful Mu Yu was, to be able to confront Terukawa head-on and even faintly suppress him.

"Promoted directly to officer?"

The pirates immediately grew excited, their eyes gleaming as they stared at Zoro and Kuina.

"Brats snuck onto the pirate ship?"

"That was close. The hostages were nearly rescued. You really can't underestimate kids these days!"

"Hehehe, that officer position is mine!"

In an instant, Zoro and Kuina were surrounded, feeling unimaginable pressure.

Faced with the encirclement, Zoro gripped his swords in both hands and instead revealed an excited smile.

"Today's battle has shaken me so badly that my confidence nearly crumbled. But I, Roronoa Zoro, am the man who will become the World's Greatest Swordsman!"

The moment Zoro finished speaking, the pirate ship fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Then a wave of mocking laughter erupted.

"The World's Greatest Swordsman? What a joke!"

"Yeah. Are kids these days all this arrogant?"

Zoro said, "Kuina, I'm leaving my back to you!"

Kuina answered with unusual seriousness, "Then I'm leaving my back to you!"

Zoro said, "Alright."

"These two brats!"

The pirates were all displeased.

Thus began a bloody battle that would shape Zoro and Kuina for the rest of their lives!

The outbreak of battle on the other side tugged at Mu Yu's heart.

Zoro and Kuina were at an absolute disadvantage. Naturally, Mu Yu noticed it as well.

Terukawa smiled like a withered chrysanthemum. "Your companions don't seem to be as good at fighting as you are!"

Mu Yu held his sword with both hands. There was not the slightest trace of wavering on his face; instead, he smiled.

"Underestimate Zoro and Kuina, and you'll suffer dearly!"

"Is that so? Your heart is in turmoil!"

"Then let's see whose heart is truly in turmoil!"

At that instant, Mu Yu's aura changed completely. He gave off the air of wanting to end this quickly in a fight to the death.

Terukawa was right. His heart truly was in turmoil.

Zoro and Kuina were still too young. Against a group of adults, they could lose their lives all too easily.

As long as the pirates continued to besiege Zoro and Kuina, he had no choice but to divide his attention toward the other battlefield.

It was despicable, shameless, and utterly without limits, but that was reality. Enemies would not show you mercy.

Mu Yu took a deep breath and said seriously, "Terukawa, I'm a broad-minded person. I don't have any lofty ambitions, and I've always avoided conflict. I rarely even argue with others."

"But I have never been this furious before. I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not forgive you!"

"I swear that even if I have to stake my life on it, I will definitely kill you!"

Terukawa was startled by Mu Yu's resolve and aura. The Killing Intent that erupted in that instant was truly terrifying.

"Stop talking to yourself!"

"Brat, you made me suffer humiliation unlike anything I've endured in my entire life. You are also someone I must crush!"

"Eyes of the Thiên Nhãn, open!"

In an instant, countless profoundly mysterious runes appeared in Mu Yu's eyes.

This was the first time since obtaining [Eyes of the Thiên Nhãn] that Mu Yu had revealed the complete form of this demonic eye.

At that moment, Mu Yu's heart pounded at an incredible speed, while his blood surged with a rushing sound like a mercury pump.

His Mental Power, meanwhile, was consumed at an astonishing rate, as though a great dam had burst.

Countless lines of causality appeared before Mu Yu's eyes, each one tied to innumerable possible outcomes.

"Objective: sever Terukawa's dog head with my sword."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

One causal line after another snapped and was erased.

Judging by their actual strength, there was still a gap between Mu Yu and Terukawa.

It was not as easy as imagined for Mu Yu to kill Terukawa.

But that was the tyranny of the demonic eye. It directly defined [the only possibility] through causality. Even if that [only possibility] did not exist, it would forcibly create one.
