Blackbeard had no intention of dragging things out here. If Ye Chen showed up, it would cause trouble, and Blackbeard wanted none of that—even if he did not consider Ye Chen a threat.
"Get lost."
Blackbeard, Kongming, strode forward. When Zoro saw him try to leave, he moved to stop him.
Whoosh! A cold flash cut through the air as Zoro struck first. He leaped up like an eagle spreading its wings, bringing Kitetsu down on Blackbeard in a lightning-fast slash.
The blade had yet to reach him, but its bone-chilling wind had. Blackbeard's anger flared, and he drew the Gold Steel Claws from his waist.
The weapon was one of a kind in the world of One Piece. Blackbeard had used those very claws to leave the scars beside Red-Haired's eye.
"Hm?"
Zoro's eyes lit up when Blackbeard drew his weapon. "Finally decided to fight me?"
"Oni Giri!"
Zoro, that restless demon beast, unleashed his fury. Without another word, he swung both swords at once, combining their power into a single strike.
Boom! A blade of energy surged forward like Tiger breaking free of its cage, carving a crack through the ground as it raced toward Blackbeard.
Blackbeard gave a cold, disdainful laugh. He neither dodged nor flinched, merely raising his Steel Claws before him. Boom! Another deafening blast rang out. Blackbeard blocked Zoro's slash with ease.
Zoro was about to change his attack when Blackbeard shot forward like a charging cheetah. In a blur, he appeared before Zoro. A vicious grin spread across his face as his merciless Steel Claws slashed down toward Zoro's face.
When the Doctors 20 arrived, they were reluctant to help. Jace and Limon rushed forward and beat several of the troublemakers. "Bastards! Do you want to die? I could kill you right now!"
