At that critical moment, Roronoa Zoro's pupils abruptly shrank to pinpoints!
He secretly reflected that he had underestimated this world's cruelty all along... Only now did he truly realize that his current strength was still far from enough to gain a foothold in the New World, a place filled with danger and challenges.
Yet, faced with such a predicament, Roronoa Zoro had no intention of retreating. On the contrary, his resolute, fearless nature drove him to face the challenge head-on without hesitation!
He murmured, "To divide the decaying self in this world in two—Two Sword Style: Iai: Rashomon!"
As his words fell, he swiftly drew the Grade Meito Yubashiri at his waist along with another blade, then instantly returned them to their sheaths.
Then, at the very instant his enemy launched an attack, Roronoa Zoro appeared silently before his opponent like a phantom. The two swords in his hands shot forth like lightning, striking their target with perfect accuracy!
His movements were so swift that no one could even see how he had drawn his blades.
That astonishing speed was precisely the most distinctive trait of an Iaijutsu Slash.
The heavily wounded Biscuit Soldier staggered back several steps again, but surprisingly, it had endured such a ferocious strike and had only been pushed back a few paces.
At that moment, the Biscuit Soldier suddenly spun around, swung its longsword, and slashed viciously at Roronoa Zoro!
Roronoa Zoro's expression changed sharply. He hurriedly raised both swords across his chest, trying to block the fierce blow.
However, although Roronoa Zoro successfully caught the attack, his opponent was simply too powerful. The immense impact still sent him flying backward uncontrollably.
While airborne, he felt as though he had been struck by a speeding train, pain tearing through his entire body.
