Bathed in moonlight, Zoro stood on the rooftop, only half his face visible, but the smile on his face was chilling, "Isn't talking about titles during a fight pointless? The strong will win, that's all."
Sensing Zoro's powerful aura, Mr. 9, Mr. 8, and Miss Wednesday below were no longer as relaxed as before. Although their previous performance had been somewhat forced and composed, their expressions were definitely not as bad as they were now.
It was Igaram, or Mr. 8, who couldn't withstand the pressure first and attacked Zoro, shouting, " Saxophone Shotgun!"
"Miss Wednesday is coming!" Mr. 9 shouted out Miss Wednesday's whereabouts, whether on purpose or not.
Although her whereabouts had been discovered, Miss Wednesday was not panicked at all, because she trusted her companions, not Mr. 8 and Mr. 9, but a large duck named Karoo.
Seeing such a large duck, Zoro was also quite curious. "What is that?"
"Do you even have time to look around? Can you keep up with my backflip?" Mr. 9 came flying towards Zoro with a series of backflips, " Hot Blooded Nine Backflip!"
However, just as he reached Zoro's side, Mr. 9 suddenly pulled out two metal baseball bats from behind his back and clashed with Zoro: " The Stick of Tenacity!"
To be honest, Mr. 9's appearance and actions had really confused Zoro, making Zoro mistakenly think that Mr. 9 was a clown from the circus who performed somersaults. Zoro even used his long sword to defend against Mr. 9's baseball bat and almost dropped it.
"This is a metal rod, be careful not to bend your longsword, hahahahaha." Mr. 9 was still gloating over his actions, but Zoro simply drew the Sandai Kitetsu that he had previously sheathed.
"What's wrong? Are you so scared that you're pale and can't move?" Mr. 9 was cut off from his words by Zoro's longsword before he could finish speaking.
Even with just the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand, Zoro had already forced Mr. 9 to retreat step by step. "Why don't you show off your signature backflip?" Not only that, he even had the energy to tease him.
"Since you want to see it so badly, I'll flip it over for you!" Mr. 9 was completely swayed by Zoro's provocation, and even forgot that he had retreated to the edge of the roof to avoid Zoro's attack. With this backflip, he fell straight off the third floor.
Seeing that the other person actually jumped down like that, even Zoro was stunned. He probably couldn't believe that someone like that had survived to this day. "Isn't there anyone more decent?"
"If you're talking about someone like that, then I am. Prepare yourself, Mr. Bushido!" It turned out to be Miss Wednesday, who had already ridden her Karoo and arrived behind Zoro. "Come on, savor my beauty, my Fascination Perfume Dance!"
Miss Wednesday concealed a bottle of special perfume in her hands. As she danced, the perfume spread further, attacking Zoro from both a visual and olfactory perspective, attempting to directly confuse him.
As Zoro gradually inhaled these so-called perfumes, he felt weak all over and involuntarily knelt down.
"The final blow is— the Peacock Slasher." This is a circular saw shaped like a peacock's tail feathers, usually concealed in a sleeve for easy access at any time.
"Go for it, Karoo!" Miss Wednesday slipped one end of the Peacock Slasher onto her little finger and swung it around quickly to make it into a circular saw.
"You've gone too far!" However, things didn't go as planned. Miss Wednesday Karoo, but seemed to lack intelligence and couldn't understand her master's intentions. Instead of rushing towards Zoro, she flew directly off the roof.
"I'm really ashamed of myself for fighting these guys." Even Zoro, who has been dealing with Luffy and his crew for years, felt a little embarrassed for them.
Thump thump thump...
At that moment, without warning, Igaram ambushed Zoro with his Saxophone Shotgun. He chose the perfect moment, when Zoro was feeling ashamed of his two idiotic teammates, and Zoro was at his most relaxed.
Igaram had planned everything perfectly, even anticipating the direction Zoro might escape in and blocking it in advance, since he was using a specially made shotgun with a very large coverage area.
However, Zoro still managed to escape right under his nose. "You ran down the hole, what a waste of your time!" At this moment, Zoro had temporarily escaped thanks to the hole he had cut in the roof earlier.
"Take a good look at how truly terrifying I am!" Igaram, completely unaware that Zoro had already escaped through the downstairs window, was still firing his shotgun inwards.
"Shotguns are such a hassle, how do I time this?" Just as Zoro was pondering a strategy to deal with Igaram, Mr. 9, who had fallen from the building earlier after somersaulting, approached Zoro.
"You dared to hurt me so badly just now, I will never forgive you!" Mr. 9 grabbed a baseball bat in each hand and strode menacingly toward Zoro.
"Hey, you fell down by yourself, didn't you...?" However, to stop him from speaking further, Mr. 9 immediately launched an attack, "Fly, Mechanical Bat!"
It turns out that the baseball bat used by Mr. 9 was specially processed. Although it looks like a single piece, it is actually divided into two parts, upper and lower, which are connected by an iron chain. At this moment, Mr. 9 swung the front half of the bat towards Zoro, and it accurately wrapped around Zoro's arm.
"I've sealed one hand!" Mr. 9 was very satisfied with his achievement.
"Got you." The Igaram also walked over at that moment.
"Now! Take him down, Mr. 8!" Mr. 9 gripped the chains tightly, trying his best to restrain Zoro. "You can't escape!"
"Prepare for artillery fire," Igaram said, quite satisfied that the situation was under control. He pulled on a tie on his clothes, and several small cannon barrels emerged from his sleeve. "Artillery fire preparation complete."
"What?" Suddenly feeling a terrifying sense of crisis, Zoro immediately looked over.
Igaram was gripping the straps with both hands. " Curling Cannon, fire!"
"Is he some kind of giant toy?" Zoro couldn't help but scoff at the endless array of weapons on the other's body. However, Igaram and the others forgot one thing: Zoro had previously defeated Miss Monday among them with sheer power, so defeating the slender Mr. 9 would be a piece of cake for him.
So with Zoro's sudden exertion, Mr. 9 was pulled into the air, and not only that, but also, guided by Zoro, he was thrown into the path of the small projectiles fired by Igaram, thus avoiding being injured.
" Curling Cannon!" " Curling Cannon!" " Curling Cannon!" " Curling Cannon!"...
At this moment, Igaram went berserk, using ammunition without restraint, just to kill Zoro here. However, Zoro had already found a way out. Using Mr. 9's body as cover, Zoro made his way unimpeded to directly below Igaram, and then threw Mr. 9 into the air.
Using the obstruction of his view, Zoro quickly stepped over the awnings erected below and swiftly arrived in front of Igaram. With a light, sweeping slash, the world suddenly fell silent. "Alright, it's over."
Indeed, as soon as Zoro defeated the four Baroque Works employees, the remaining bounty hunters immediately assessed the disparity in strength between the two sides and scattered into hiding.
"Finally, it's a quiet night again." Zoro sat high up, looking at the moon, which had shifted in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that even the company's top twelve employees couldn't beat them! We'd better run away quickly!" A town resident ran towards the edge of town.
Several other townspeople followed behind him. "But you say escape, where are we supposed to escape to?"
"In short, it's best to find a place to hide before they leave this island!" the man said.
" The Unlucky Duo!" However, they hadn't run far when they were stopped by a vulture and a sea otter.
The vulture and the sea otter are Mr. 13 and Miss Friday from Baroque Works, respectively. Because they are both ranked 13th, they are known as the Unlucky Duo.
"Wait, wait a minute, we're not running away, it's not like that, please, please don't report this to the boss!" The group of men begged for mercy as soon as they saw the duo.
"Wait a minute," a voice interrupted Mr. 13 and Miss Friday, who were about to take action, "Even though it's the middle of the night, this town is really lively. They really did assign us such a boring job, sending us to this kind of frontline."
"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out, revealing the figures of the two people who had been speaking.
One person had an afro and looked like a rock singer; the other was tall with short blond hair, light green eyes, always smiling, wearing a yellow hat and lemon-slice earrings, a yellow short dress with lemon slice patterns, white high heels, white gloves, and carrying a yellow and blue striped umbrella.
"How pathetic, to be defeated by a mere swordsman." The two approached Mr. 9, Mr. 8, and Miss Wednesday, who were already severely injured, and looked down at them with disdain.
These words naturally provoked the group, but when they looked up, they were stunned. "Miss Valentine and Mr. 5?"
Mr. 5, the guy with the afro, looked at the group with disdain. "Are you guys kidding me?"
"Hahahaha," Miss Valentine laughed maniacally, twirling her umbrella, "In the end, this is just the difference in our social standing."
"Are you here to mock us?" Even though he was lying on the ground and unable to stand up, Igaram still glared at his opponent with anger in his eyes.
Mr. 5 smiled dismissively, "That's partly true."
Miss Valentine, standing beside her, laughed heartily, "Hahaha, of course we're here to carry out a mission."
"Thank you so much! With your help, those guys are no match for us." Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday urged the two of them to hurry up and act. "Yes, please, please take down that swordsman quickly."
"Stop making such silly jokes. You think we came to help you? Do you think we would have come all the way to this remote corner of the Grand Line for something so trivial?" Mr. 5 stepped forward.
"Wh-what?" Mr. 9 was still confused.
"Fool, don't you understand at all? The culprit the boss specifically sent us to deal with is right here." Mr. 5 stared at the group in front of him. "The boss said this: 'My secret has been discovered.' Although I obviously don't know what the secret is, our company motto is secrecy. No one's background can be investigated within the company. That's the rule. If someone knows the boss's secret, they're doomed."
"So, we investigated carefully to find out who knew the boss's secret, hahahahaha," Miss Valentine's laughter was extremely exaggerated, "And the result was truly incredible! We discovered an important figure from a certain kingdom who had infiltrated our Baroque Works."
"A certain kingdom?" Nami, who was eavesdropping from around the corner, was very puzzled.
"Wait, wait a minute, although I'm wearing a crown, I'm not a king, it's just a personal hobby," Mr. 9 quickly explained.
Mr. 5's gaze remained fixed on the group. "Of course not you. The culprit is the one from the Alabasta Kingdom who is currently missing..."
"Die, Curling Cannon!" Igaram, who had been unable to stand, suddenly seemed to have a surge of power within him, allowing him to stand up again and launch an attack on the two people in front of him. "I won't let you touch a single hair on the princess's head, I swear on my name as the captain of the Alabasta Kingdom's guard, Igaram."
The two people bombarded by the Curling Cannon were actually unharmed. In fact, the cannon pulled out two photos from its pocket and held them up in their direction. " Igaram, captain of the Alabasta Kingdom's guard, and Princess Nefertari Vivi, I have been ordered by the owner of Baroque Works to kill you."
Seeing that the other party had truly revealed their identities, even Vivi had lost all hope. Of course, the guard captain, Igaram, was still dutifully and frantically firing his Curling Cannon.
"Hurry, Lady Vivi, please run away!" Even though she knew she was no match for her opponent, Igaram still wanted to use herself as a tool to buy time.
However, Mr. 5 on the other side simply flicked his finger, and with a "boom!", Igaram was completely knocked down.
Seeing this, Bai Sui in the void couldn't help but sigh. The people in the One Piece world really have amazing physical abilities. This kind of explosion can't kill anyone. You have to know that the power of this kind of attack is close to a low-power Fire Style.
In the original Ninja World, how many ninjas would possess such a physique?
