Supreme Grade Meito Muramasa

Moke had naturally sensed Roronoa Zoro as well.

A slight smile crept onto his lips, "If I remember correctly, we had an agreement. Judging from your expression, you intend to fulfill that agreement?"

Roronoa Zoro's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, his eyes fixed on Moke.

Nodding, he became excited. "Exactly!"

Moke laughed, glanced at Whitebeard and the other captains— Marco, Jozu, Vista, Ace —before finally fixing his gaze on Luffy and Roronoa Zoro: "If you can't fight freely here, let's go to the island!"

That's absolutely right.

Under the captain's command, neither Roronoa Zoro nor Luffy can unleash their full potential.

After all, you can't just destroy Whitebeard's pirate ship too!

Then he transformed into a streak of Hikaru and rushed towards the island.

Luffy and Roronoa Zoro exchanged a glance, then looked at Ace.

Ace: "..."

He was speechless. Although he had to admit that these two were incredibly talented, they were still far, far behind Moke in the fight.

However, being able to fight a powerful opponent like Moke is a rare experience for anyone.

Therefore, I'm quite happy to see it happen.

Ace then looked at Marco, Marco immediately understood and couldn't help but grin.

Then he transformed into Phoenix, using his claws to lift Luffy and Roronoa Zoro up one by one, and headed towards the island.

A moment later, on the island, Moke and Roronoa Zoro stood facing each other.

This is their third competition.

However, times have changed... their strength and status are no longer on the same level. Their attitudes have also gradually changed.

Previously, the two were rivals.

But now, Moke is one of his goals.

"One Sword Style: Evil Bird!"

Roronoa Zoro launched the first attack, instantly drawing his Wado Ichimonji and unleashing a powerful Slash Wave.

They sped off towards Moke.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Moke.

To be honest, such an attack couldn't even break through his defenses. However, out of respect for Roronoa Zoro, Moke still drew his Shusui and held it in front of him.

He blocked the attack with remarkable ease.

Moke: "Let's skip this kind of probing tactic!"

Roronoa Zoro nodded in agreement. "That's true!"

"One Sword Style: Flying Dragon: Asura Flame!"

Roronoa Zoro then propelled himself into the air with a powerful stride, sheathing his Wado Ichimonji and drawing a demonic sword imbued with Ghost Aura.

Place it behind you.

This is an advanced version of One Sword Style: Flying Dragon: Flame.

One Sword Style: Flying Dragon: Flame. Once it hits an enemy, high-temperature blue flames will erupt from the wound on the enemy's body.

The advanced version is Ghost Flame with purple and green hues.

Unless the target is completely burned to ashes, or a powerful Armament Haki is used to block it, the flame will never go out. This special flame comes from the Muramasa, the Cursed Sword in his hand.

Supreme Grade Meito!

This caused Moke to show a surprised expression.

In One Piece, Meito are ranked into five levels: Supreme Grade Meito, Great Grade Meito, Skillful Grade Meito, Grade Meito, and Ordinary Swords.

The Supreme Grade Meito are the highest-ranking Meito, totaling 12, including the Black Blade Yoru, Murakumogiri, and the Shodai Kitetsu. These swords are typically crafted by renowned swordsmiths and possess extremely high quality and immense power.

The Great Grade Meito are next in number, totaling 21, such as Wado Ichimonji, Shusui, and Enma. These swords play important roles in the stories and are often associated with powerful swordsmen.

The Skillful Grade Meito are the third tier, consisting of 50 swords, including the Yubashiri and Sandai Kitetsu. While these swords are not as powerful as the first two tiers, they still hold an important place in the story.

The fourth tier is the Grade Meito, which includes some well-known Meito, such as the Kashu and Yama Arashi wielded by Tashigi.

Ordinary swords are the lowest grade, including some common weapons. Although they are not as powerful as the Meito of the aforementioned grades, they also have their unique uses and significance in the story.

Each grade of sword has its own unique characteristics and backstory, is associated with a specific swordsman, and plays an important role in the story.

And the sword in Roronoa Zoro's hand, if I'm not mistaken, is the Supreme Grade Meito Muramasa.

This is a Cursed Sword!

It's stronger than both the Sandai Kitetsu and Nidai Kitetsu wielded by Roronoa Zoro in the original work. Moreover, there are only a handful of Supreme Grade Meito that have appeared in the entire One Piece.

They are:

The Shodai Kitetsu: The first sword in the Kitetsu series, all of which are Kitetsu Cursed Sword. Only the first generation is Supreme Grade Meito.

Night: Black Blade with a chaotic, overlapping floral pattern resembling a T-shape. It is said to be the strongest Black Blade in the World's Strongest.

Holder: Jora Dracule Mihawk

Owner's Profile: Known as the "World's Greatest Swordsman." One of the founders of the Cross Guild. Formerly one of the Shichibukai, with a bounty of 3.59 billion Beli. Before Shusui appeared, he was the only Black Blade in the entire world.

Even if Shusui were to emerge, he could not surpass it.

Although both are Black Blade, one is Supreme Grade Meito, while the other is merely Grade Meito. In essence, they are a level apart.

Murakumogiri: wielded by Whitebeard: It is a long-handled sword, wider than the common Japanese naginata, and lacks the pointed blade on the back of the blade compared to the crescent-shaped sword and the phoenix beak sword.

Ace: Former owner: Gol D. Roger (deceased)

Gambler's Line: It's a cane sword.

Owner: Fujitora

Gryphon: Shanks' sword.

The Muramasa in Roronoa Zoro's hand is the only one that has appeared besides these seven swords. It was originally in the hands of a Great Swordsman in the New World.

But now it's in Roronoa Zoro's hands.

What this means is already quite clear. That Great Swordsman has been defeated by Roronoa Zoro.

Muramasa Cursed Sword. In the original work, both the Sandai Kitetsu and the Nidai Kitetsu belonged to Roronoa Zoro. Unexpectedly, under his influence, the Sandai Kitetsu and the Nidai Kitetsu became his successors.

Roronoa Zoro still possesses the Cursed Sword.

Most importantly, its quality surpasses that of the Sandai Kitetsu and Nidai Kitetsu from the original work, reaching the level of Supreme Grade Meito.

This truly shocked Moke.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that this world is still rewriting its plot?"

If that's the case, then the Straw Hat Crew should be taking action against the Four Emperors next!

After all, Roronoa Zoro has already reached the level of Great Swordsman.

Luffy should have reached that level by now... and given his personality, he'll definitely continue down that path. But who will he target?

Whitebeard?

No, Ace is here!

Luffy would never choose the Whitebeard Pirates.

Red-Hair?

Forget it!

Red-Hair is Luffy's goal and idol.

That leaves only him and Hawkeye, but Hawkeye is far away in the South Blue. It's highly unlikely he'd go there!

After all, Laugh Tale isn't in the South Blue.

That only means it's Moke... Just thinking about it made Moke's eye twitch involuntarily.
