Clang!
A massive crescent slash tore through the earth and cleaved through the wall.
Katakuri dodged to the side, then thrust his trident upward with his right hand.
Clang!
The two long swords were blocked.
Zoro put his strength into knocking the trident aside, then twisted his waist and spun around, unleashing three more razor-sharp blasts of sword energy.
"Three Sword Style: Thousand-Eight Troublesome Winds!!"
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The three Flying Slashes covered an enormous area.
At such close range, even Katakuri, with his Observation Haki clearly predicting their trajectories, could hardly dodge them.
This was also the only way Zoro could land a hit on Katakuri.
"Block Mochi!!"
Katakuri flung a glob of mochi from his arm.
It formed a cube coated in Armament Haki, like a black block standing in front of him.
Katakuri's Armament Haki was formidable, but a swordsman's attacks were inherently destructive.
And with Zoro's brutal sword techniques, even Katakuri wouldn't risk taking a hit head-on.
Clang!!
The savage Flying Slashes struck the black cube, carving three deep gouges into it in an instant!
Two rings of mochi appeared out of thin air above Katakuri's head. From within them formed two enormous, square-shaped arms made of molded mochi.
Once coated in Armament Haki, they gleamed black.
"Muscle Mochi!!"
A red gleam flashed in Katakuri's eyes as he controlled the massive arms to strike at an empty spot beside him.
Just as expected.
The next moment, Zoro's eyes turned cold as he shot toward Katakuri like a streak of green light!
His blades flashed with a chilling gleam as they came down mercilessly. It almost seemed as if invisible flames were burning along their edges.
"Three Sword Style: Purgatory Demon Slash!!"
Clang!!
The crisp ring of steel echoed through the entire area as Zoro's blades met
