Black Blade Autumn Water Hero Unit

"Hehehe, with that awful hairstyle—"

The Black Blade Autumn Water, wielded by the zombie swordsman Ryuma, flashed out like countless stars, each strike aimed directly at the skeleton gentleman Brook.

That dead man's still-black, thick, afro-like hair.

"You can't beat me, Your Majesty!"

Shadow Brook possesses all of Brook's swordsmanship and skills, but his 'body' Ryuma is far stronger than Brook's. In addition, Brook also has to protect his huge afro 'vital point', making the battle completely one-sided!

"Only this one, only this afro!!"

Having taken more than a dozen sword blows all over his body, with bone fragments flying everywhere, Brook gritted his teeth (in a physical sense) and withstood the attacks from his shadow warrior.

"Without the afro, I'm just an ordinary skeleton!"

Of course, Brook doesn't really care about her current image;

However, he cares whether his former partner Laboon, will still recognize him.

"At least let me—"

"Go back to Laboon in this manner and tell him: We're dead, we're sorry!"

"Gallery Dance - Continuous Attack!"

"Gallery Dance - Continuous Attack!"

Two figures flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, dozens, even hundreds, of metallic clangs clashed, accompanied by dazzling sparks, creating a continuous, deafening roar! It seemed a draw, but then came the clatter of falling white bone fragments...

"I've been training hard these past few years to reclaim my shadow—"

"Idiot!"

Shadow Brook turned around. "I can do everything you can! But your body is inferior to mine, your weapons are inferior to mine, and your will is inferior to mine. What do you have to fight me with?"

"You've bound yourself to a promise? Do you even deserve to be a swordsman?"

Faced with the 'Shadow's' angry rebuke, Brook turned around, sheathed his staff sword, and slowly walked towards the other party.

"Say what you will, this is my promise to my comrades."

Clang,

Zombie Ryuma also sheathed his Black Blade Autumn Water, and slowly walked towards Brook.

"Let me shatter your delusional fantasies!"

Step, step, step.

The two walked away facing each other, weapons sheathed, and passed each other calmly, much to the bewilderment of Franky, Chopper, Robin, and the others.

Then:

"Humming Three-Verse- "

"Humming Three-Verse- "

"Arrow Tail Slash!"

Puff!

On one side is a zombie warrior slowly sheathing his long sword, and on the other is a skeleton musician collapsing to the ground.

Brush--

"There's only one reason you failed,"

The Black Blade Autumn Water was placed beside Brook's neck, with the cold voice of the zombie Ryuma behind him.

"That's a useless bond."

"I've had enough of you, you piece of trash! I want to see if a skeleton can die with only a head left—"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a fierce sword aura erupted, about to sever Brook's neck in the next second.

Clang!

You just said—

With a loud metallic clang, Brook didn't see the skull hit the ground; instead, a calm voice sounded beside him.

"To bind oneself for a promise—is that unworthy of being a swordsman?"

Zoro had already dealt with his opponent, the old swordsman, and saved Brook with a single strike, while lowering his eyes.

"Hey, you frizzy skull, don't mind if I take over your enemy?"

"... Ah, ah!... Thank you so much..."

"Heh heh heh, so you want to wield your sword for someone else too?"

Zoro raised an eyebrow at the zombie samurai's words.

"Sorry, I won't consider those things." After saying that, Zoro drew Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu, like a monster baring its fangs. In front of this swordsman, the fine swords he bought in Water 7 were just a hindrance.

"I'm going to become the World's Greatest Swordsman!"

I will never lose to an opponent who wields a knife.

Hmm, it seems Zoro is about to get his hands on Shusui.

Roman glanced around and saw that as the number of zombie generals increased, only Luffy remained locked in fierce combat. The others were gradually becoming unable to hold on!

Although these zombie generals are only about as strong as Marine Headquarters captain, they are all fearless and immune to many attacks, making them incredibly difficult to deal with in a real fight. And the Straw Hat crew each have to take on several zombie generals...

Then let me add some manpower:

Splash splash~~

Sheets of white paper split off from 'White Knight' Roman, forming another 'White Knight' on his left. However, unlike the original, this was a 'slender' armored knight with a shape that leaned towards speed.

Then:

A finger touched the armored knight's back, 'granting' the armor the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

"Roman, what are you doing?"

"I'm... huh??!!"

Roman glanced at the pig-headed guy next to Nami and smirked.

"Nami... I remember I asked you to take down this pig-headed... zombie general, didn't I?" What's with you two acting like best friends? That heavily made-up pig-head almost made Roman instinctively punch it.

"Oh, you mean Lola?"

Nami introduced Lola to Roman with a natural air, "Lola is actually a good girl. We hit it off immediately, like we'd known each other forever. We talked about life, our ideals, and..."

Speak like a human.

"I promised to give her that invisible lion man!"

Okay, rubbing his temples, Roman was too lazy to care how Nami dealt with this boar general. Now he had to deal with the enemy in front of him.

"If we don't have enough manpower, we'll make up for it with fruit!"

The individual strength of the 'Guardian Legion' is not particularly strong, and its effectiveness is limited against these tireless zombie generals. So let's bring in the 'Hero' units.

Splash splash~~

As the papers on Roman's body split open again, a heavy 'White Knight' No. 3 appeared on his right. Nami and Lola were amazed.

"Go, paper puppet hero!"

With a flash of Electric Light, the slender 'White Knight' charged into the battlefield, his fist crackling with electricity as he slammed into a swordsman clad in plain clothes! Although the swordsman barely managed to block the attack with his weapon, the leaping Lightning Flash immediately traveled up the sword, instantly causing the zombie general to begin performing a 'zombie dance'...

On the other side, the heavy 'White Knight' did not charge forward. Instead, it spewed out clumps of yellow sand from its chest (actually, it was an effect of Baku Baku Pages). Then, the wave-like yellow sand transformed into a 'giant hand' and surged towards a tall, armored warrior.

No matter how strong the opponent was, it was useless against this formless yellow sand! As the yellow sand engulfed the opponent, the 'White Knight' stretched out his five fingers and grabbed at the air.

Click!

Pity,

Roman's abilities can only create a maximum of two White Knights with 'abilities'. —I wonder when he'll be able to clap his hands like Cracker and summon hundreds of millions of puppet warriors...

Regardless, with Roman's main body and his two clones, 'Inazuma' and 'Yellow Sand,' joining the battle, the balance of power gradually shifted in the Straw Hat crew's favor, much to Luffy's excitement.

"Great, me too—"

"No!"

"This is a rare opportunity for real combat training."

Roman stopped Luffy from using Gear 2, specifically to gain combat experience. What would be the point if Luffy easily defeated him with Second Gear or even Third Gear?

"Ugh, just fighting these zombies is so boring~~~"

Seeing Luffy suddenly collapse, Roman gave him a disgruntled look.

"Moria will be more than enough for you to beat in a minute."

You might even encounter Kuma...

P. S.: Actually, it's just a reskinned White Knight, but since the art style doesn't match, I'll fix it immediately...
