The two clashed once more, the powerful impacts forcing the Marines to retreat, unable to withstand them.
"So fast! Such strength!" Under Zoro's ferocious offensive as he single-mindedly tried to get past him, Shu was instantly pushed into a disadvantage.
It was almost overwhelmingly powerful. Compared to before at Enies Lobby, it was like night and day.
Shu could only stay calm and do his utmost to block Zoro's attacks, preventing Zoro from getting past him.
With Shu keeping him entangled, Zoro had no way to rush straight at Wuli.
This also made Zoro realize that it was basically impossible to get past Shu and attack Wuli. He could only take Shu down first.
Zoro let out a low shout. "Three Sword Style: Tornado!"
His aura rose like a dragon ascending into the sky, wildly sweeping Shu, who had been struck, up into the air.
The powerful sword pressure created tornado-like currents that Shu could not block at all. Sword marks appeared across him, but he still gritted his teeth and did his best to steady himself in midair.
Then he flipped over, a mass of power enveloping his hand as he fiercely pressed it toward where Zoro stood!
Seeing Shu attack from within the eye of the storm, Zoro sensed danger and immediately dodged aside.
A vortex carrying an eroding aura lingered where Zoro had been standing, instantly reducing it to powder.
Zoro was somewhat surprised by what he saw, but he did not remain passive.
Buzz~
Armament Haki wrapped around the swords in Zoro's hands!
He held two swords in a stance as though they were slung across his back. The sky seemed to grow even dimmer, with only his sword light gleaming, highlighting his powerful figure!
"Three Sword Style: Tiger Hunt!"
Before Zoro's words had even faded, an overwhelmingly powerful aura, as though it could cleave heaven and earth apart, surged toward Shu. Shu's pupils contracted. There was no way he could block this.
Luffy raised his head and saw a figure appear beside Shu.
A powerful whirlpool appeared on the sea, causing even the warship to begin rocking.
A gigantic wave several meters high was swiftly drawn up onto the warship, like a thick white band constantly circling Wuli and Shu, forming an enormous wall of water.
"Shigure Soen Ryu: Flourishing Rain Blow"
When Zoro saw Wuli suddenly appear, excitement instead filled his eyes. This was the one he had been waiting for!
His power erupted, and the sword's aura and might instantly intensified. Sword light collided with Wuli's protective water wall.
Crack~
Wuli's expression changed as his protective water wall failed to hold for even a few breaths.
It was cleaved apart by Zoro's sword light, which continued to strike at them without losing any of its power.
"As expected of someone determined to become a great swordsman. You really are strong! But!"
Wuli's gaze turned grave as a freezing aura erupted from his body.
A layer of frost coated the sword in his hand, and the ground beneath Wuli rapidly froze over as well.
Cold air suddenly filled the sky, and snowflakes began to whirl down.
The people aboard the warship felt as though they had been transported from scorching summer into the depths of winter, shivering from the cold!
"Floating Feather Divine Wind Style Sword: Blowing Snow"
A wall of snowflakes formed before Wuli, clashing with Zoro's sword aura once again!
Boom!
The powerful air pressure violently blasted the falling snow in every direction, and the Marine warship was soon covered by the wind and snow.
The Marines' hair and faces were coated in white frost. Breathing into their hands, they stared in shock at the silver-clad scene before them, as though winter had arrived.
