Overwhelming Power, Wooden Sword Activated / Zoro Sealed Again, Dongze's Killing Intent Awakens

The woman grew impatient and said coldly, "Ge Lu, stop talking nonsense!!"

After hearing this, Ge Lu said nothing more and simply hummed in agreement.

"Um!"

He then stood firmly, looked at Zoro, and beckoned to Zoro, indicating that he could make the first move.

Seeing this, Zoro's killing intent intensified. "Nine Mountains and Eight Seas constitute one world; gathering a thousand worlds creates a 'Minor World.' This world multiplied by three, none can be stopped by me. The Three-Sword Style Secret Art? One Great? Three Thousand? Great World? World!"

He went all out from the start, unleashing the ultimate move of the Three-Sword Style: Three Thousand Worlds.

Three Slashing suddenly appeared, accompanied by a series of hissing sounds. Upon seeing these three Slashing, Ge Lu's expression changed slightly, but he neither dodged nor evaded. He only noticed a flash of black light on his opponent's body, which was a full coverage of Armament Haki.

The Slashing reached the opponent, producing a piercing sound of impact, but ultimately failed to achieve its intended purpose.

Sensing the other's movement, Zoro and Kuina exclaimed in surprise, "Armament Haki!!"

Since they set sail, they had never seen anyone with Armament Haki in the East Blue. They had assumed that the other party was at most Devil Fruit User or Six Powers expert, but they never expected that he was a powerful expert who had mastered Armament Haki.

Upon hearing their words, the woman from the World Government narrowed her eyes.

"Not bad, you guys who just set sail already know about Armament Haki!!"

The next moment, the woman couldn't help but call out again, "Ge Lu!"

Before Zoro could even react, everything went black, and a figure suddenly darted over, a pitch-black fist appearing in his field of vision.

The punch had the power to Sky-Splitting, and with a loud crack, Zoro was sent flying. Dozens of trees behind him were broken by Zoro's flying figure, kicking up dust everywhere.

"Zoro ~~"

Seeing this, Kuina's heart tightened, and she shouted loudly.

Seeing no movement for a while, Ge Lu grinned coldly, "Tch! I thought you could take a punch from me!"

Just then, a voice came from within the smoke and dust, "Old man, your Haki is pretty good!!"

Chapter 166 Overwhelming Strength, Wooden Sword Activated

In the East Blue, in Orange Town, Zoro emerged from a sparse grove of trees by the sea, his eyes red and swollen.

However, this bright red color wasn't just from being blinded by sand and dust; it was an unexpected leak.

Unlike before, his arms had turned black.

"Armament Haki?"

The three World Government's expressions changed once again. They hadn't expected that this young man had already mastered Armament Haki.

Seeing Zoro's retreating figure, Ge Lu couldn't help but laugh, his previous silence broken. "I underestimated you. No wonder you're from the same place as him! But I won't hold back from now on!"

With that, Ge Lu enveloped his fist in Armament Haki once more, and in a flash, he charged towards Zoro.

This time, the opponent's speed increased even further. Zoro narrowed his eyes and his expression changed, because he could no longer sense the opponent's presence.

He could only rely on his beast-like instincts to barely block the attack, but he was sent flying once again.

Upon seeing this, Kuina's expression changed slightly. During the previous battle, she had already activated her Observation Haki.

Zoro couldn't catch a glimpse of Ge Lu, and neither could she. Seeing Zoro being knocked away once again, she remembered what her father had said before he set sail.

"Zoro! He's Admiral- level fighter, watch out!!"

Before she could finish speaking, a sinister voice rang in her ear, "Little sister, do you still have time to worry about others?"

Kuina tensed up involuntarily, then a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes. She gripped the Wado Ichimonji, raised it high, and stabbed it fiercely towards her abdomen.

This attack was extremely fast, as fast as Inazuma.

The woman behind Kuina abruptly withdrew her outstretched hand, instantly activated Shave, and dodged far away, returning to the spot where she had been standing.

Once she stood still, seeing the Wado Ichimonji that had sprung out from behind Kuina, a hint of lingering fear flashed in her eyes. "You bitch, are you out of your mind?"

Kuina chuckled upon hearing this and slowly withdrew the Wado Ichimonji, but it wasn't stained with any blood. It turned out that the attack had pierced through her undergarments, not a self-harming move.

Kuina's eyes narrowed instantly. She quickly covered Wado Ichimonji Armament Haki and activated Observation Haki, cautiously watching the two remaining people in front of her.

He also checked the Little Wooden Sword at his waist, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"Boom!"

A loud bang came from not far away, and at the same time a jet-black Slashing burst out, cutting through a large swath of trees. Ge Lu was also forced to fly out, his eyes growing colder.

As Admiral- level fighter, he was getting a little frustrated because he couldn't defeat the kid who had just set sail.

"Kid! You've angered me!!"

Suddenly, Ge Lu's body swelled up, his clothes burst open, and his muscles, like those of a writhing dragon, bulged and solidified into an even larger form, unleashing a ferocious aura.

"Roar!!"

With a loud roar, a tiger-headed monster suddenly charged out, its sharp, black claws slashing fiercely in mid-air.

A blade, resembling Slashing, suddenly flew out, its power far exceeding that of Zoro's previous Slashing.

Seeing this, Zoro quickly held his longsword, which was covered in Armament Haki, in front of him. However, the power of this Slashing far exceeded his expectations. Apart from the Stream of Flowing Light, the other two longswords were directly cut in half.

He was severely injured by this attack. Then, he felt a blackout before his eyes as he was punched hard in the abdomen. He flew through the air and landed heavily on the ground, heading directly towards Kuina's location.

As soon as Zoro landed, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The bright red blood made Kuina's expression change drastically, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

She knew very well that Zoro's strength was not much different from her opponent's at the moment, and she was only slightly stronger than him. She did not want Zoro to be defeated by the monster in front of her who had transformed into a tiger in one blow.

The difference in strength was too great; a simple blow was enough to injure Zoro. This disparity was comparable to how they fought against pirates in the East Blue.

Seeing Zoro struggle to his feet for a while before finally standing up, the woman from the World Government chuckled, "Well, young man, now you know the difference between us, right?"

"Our mission is to bring you back, and the requirement is that you're barely alive! If you don't want to suffer physical pain, I advise you to surrender!"

As soon as the words were spoken, three powerful auras suddenly erupted, pressing down on Kuina and Zoro.

Sensing these three powerful auras, Kuina and Zoro's expressions changed again. Zoro nudged Kuina lightly with his elbow and whispered, "Hey! Female Tyrannosaur, I'll use my ultimate attack to entangle them. You take the opportunity to escape back to the Dojo and ask your master to come and save me!"

Upon hearing this, Kuina narrowed her eyes, a bitter look flashing across them. With the strength of these three people, even her father might not be able to defeat them unless they joined forces with her father, making it a two-on-two situation with only a sliver of hope for victory.

Once Zoro falls into their hands, our side will have no chance of winning.

She then whispered back, "Don't do anything foolish! These three are all at the Admiral level, roughly the same strength as Father. If you fall into their hands, you have no chance of winning!"

"Unless we join forces to fight one of them, and Father fights the other, we have no chance of winning!"

Upon hearing Kuina's words, Zoro frowned, his eyes narrowed subtly, and a strange glint appeared deep within them.

He then nodded slightly, glanced at Kuina to indicate that he understood her meaning, and subtly moved slightly forward in front of Kuina.

But just then, a voice came over, causing Kuina and Zoro's expressions to change slightly. It was the man with the mustache.

His voice was extremely shrill, sounding like a quacking duck, "Heh! Still thinking of running away? Let me tell you, neither of you little brats are going anywhere today!!"

"Ge Lu, Jade, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let's attack together!!"

With that, the three of them leaped up and vanished from Zoro and Kuina's sight in an instant.

"So sexy!!"

Zoro tightened his grip on the last long sword in his hand. The strength of the three was another matter, but their speed alone was enough to make one despair. Even his Observation Haki couldn't detect them. How the hell was he supposed to fight them?

Suddenly, a sharp Slashing came from behind them. Kuina and Zoro reacted a beat too slow and had to roll on the spot to avoid the attack.

As soon as they steadied themselves, they suddenly felt two figures appear behind them, their imposing aura pressing down on them with overwhelming force.

Kuina sighed inwardly, biting her lower lip lightly. This overwhelming strength made her feel powerless! The gap between them was truly enormous!

"Dongze! I hope you're not lying to me!!"

The next moment, Kuina gently slashed her finger along the side of the Little Wooden Sword at her waist, instantly creating a small cut on her finger from which blood gushed out.

Just as the two figures lunged at Kuina and Zoro, a sudden chill ran through him, and a sense of terror washed over him.

Just as the two were still wondering, a terrifying burst of freezing air suddenly erupted not far in front of them.

Cold, frigid, icy cold.

In an instant, they couldn't help but think of something that was circulating in the World Government's CP organization: the Big Mom Pirates were almost frozen and wiped out by a Little Wooden Sword.

Their expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they thought to themselves, "Oh no! It's Dongze's Wooden Sword!!"

Chapter 167 Zoro Seals Again, Dongze's Killing Intent Rises

Outside Orange Town, frost descended from the sky; snowflakes began to fall from the heavens at some unknown time.

The people of Orange Town were quite surprised. It wasn't that time of year yet, so why were snowflakes falling from the sky?

A chill swept through the town, and the villagers instinctively tightened their coats and hurried home, simply because they were somewhat stunned.

Outside Orange Town, a flash of blue light caused a hint of fear to appear on the faces of the two high-ranking officials from the World Government who had just regained their balance.

Their bodies, suspended in mid-air, began to move uncontrollably, thwarting their plans to retreat. They hadn't expected the two people before them to possess such a treasure.

A legendary artifact that could fetch 10 billion Beli in the global Underground Organization was actually in the hands of two rookies. But upon closer inspection, it didn't make sense. The two of them and that person came from the same place, and wasn't that why they were there?

"Damn it~~"

"I never expected to be defeated by two rookies!"

A final sigh rang out, and the next moment, a wave of ice swept rapidly across the entire East Coast Orange Town like Shockwave.

Frost covered the sky, turning everything into a frozen world, whether it was the sea not far from them, the dense forest behind them, or the ground beneath their feet.

Ge Lu, who was launching a long-range attack from a distance, retreated rapidly using his razor-sharp footwork. His eyes were filled with fear, his heart was pounding, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

Observation Haki terrified him, causing his hair to stand on end. The attack had been too sudden; they had even taken a closer look at the two dolls before the fight.

He hadn't expected things to develop this way. Wasn't Dongze's Wooden Sword supposed to be black? That black wasn't the color of Adam Wood, but rather the result of Armament Haki.

The sword in the little girl's hand was clearly white, which made him subconsciously overlook it.

As he ran, Ge Lu cursed, "Bastard!!"

Actually, it wasn't just him; even the two people from before were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected things to turn out this way. The two sentences they uttered at the end perfectly reflected their inner feelings, and their frustration was palpable.

They were so close to succeeding, but then this happened at the last minute. It was like two wolves trying to catch a sheep. They had cornered the sheep in a dead end, but then the sheep suddenly got on a rocket and dropped an atomic bomb. Damn it, at that moment, they were not only stunned, but completely numb.

Ge Lu ran for twenty kilometers in one go before slowly stopping. His back was soaked with sweat, not from exhaustion, but from fear.

The chilling aura was like a mad dog, constantly circling behind him, relentlessly biting him; the scene was truly unsettling.

Behind him lay everything frozen solid. If he had been a step slower, he would have met the same fate. Given this situation, why wouldn't he have desperately darted away like a wolf?

When he turned around and saw what looked like almost another Orange Town, but this Orange Town was a world of ice and snow, he stammered, "Damn it!"

After standing there for a while and taking a dozen deep breaths to calm himself down, Ge Lu clenched his fists tightly. "Was it right or wrong to be enemies with such a person? Lord Five Elders, I'm afraid you've miscalculated this time!!"

Kuina and Zoro, who were at the center of the Sword Intent eruption, were also stunned.

Faced with this scene that resembled a natural disaster, the two newcomers, who had never witnessed the true terror of the sea, were even more agitated.

The two ice sculptures landed with a clanging sound, sending shivers down one's spine, for anything frozen could easily perish.

You could say that crushing ice is like crushing people.

After a long silence, Zoro's lips twitched uncontrollably as he stammered, "Hey! Female Tyrannosaur! Is this for real?"

Kuina was also stunned, staring at the endless Glacier, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

Although he had previously harbored some doubts about the attack left behind by Dongze, he now wore a wry smile.

"I didn't know it would turn out like this!!"

A gust of wind blew by, making Zoro shiver. Glancing at the endless Glacier world, he roared, "Damn it!! Just how strong is that guy now?!"

You should know that he has two targets. One is the current World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawkeye - Dracule Mihawk, and the other is Dongze. When he first set sail, Dongze was ranked after Hawkeye in his mind. However, as the name of the Five Emperors spread throughout the world, he quietly surpassed Hawkeye.

Faced with such a gap, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate. He still felt some disdain for those three people from the World Government, because he knew that as long as he had time, surpassing them would not be a problem. Those were just differences in Haki and physical skills, which he could make up for with hard work.

However, the strike Dongze left in the sword was different. Even before he arrived, with just a Sword Intent, he was able to create such a terrifying situation, even freezing two Admiral- level combatants directly.

He couldn't even imagine how strong the person he hadn't seen for two years must be now! This was a truly despairing gap.

Suddenly, two creaking sounds reached Zoro and Kuina's ears, causing their expressions to change drastically.

Kuina and Zoro looked at the two enemies who were already frozen in ice, and the cracks slowly began to multiply.

Speaking of which, Dongze asked Rayleigh to deliver these two Little Wooden Sword when Rayleigh first met. At that time, the Shuihan Sword Intent was not yet fully developed, and although its power was extraordinary, it was not enough to instantly kill Admiral.
