Life and Death Beneath an Abyssal Maw, and a Vajra Body Flowing with True Qi!

"You insolent insect! Die!!!"

The humiliation of being cut in half by a mere pirate sent Saint Nusjuro into an absolute fury.

He roared, unleashing freezing air more intense than ever before. His four hooves thundered as he brandished Shodai Kitetsu, becoming a white storm of death as he charged Zoro once again.

"Damn you! You damned pirate!"

Saint Nusjuro desperately
