The dog's sudden attack startled Zoro. "Get lost!" he shouted.
"Woof!"
The dog barked in reply, stopped attacking, and jumped back into the woods. It sat there wagging its tail, plainly waiting for an order.
"Holy, what are you doing, Holy?"
Ohm cursed. "Bite him to death!"
The dog barked and lunged again. Zoro rolled his eyes. "Go swim in the river!"
The dog immediately obeyed Zoro and went swimming.
Ohm flew into a rage. "Damn it! I spent ages training that pet to understand human speech!"
Zoro retorted, "Doesn't it just obey anyone?"
"What? You figured it out!"
Ohm declared confidently, "It doesn't matter. Before my Mantra, you're an open book!"
Zoro ignored him and charged with Three-Sword Style. Ohm sensed his intent first and leaped away, putting distance between them before whipping out his Cloud Sword.
The Cloud Sword's blade shot forward. Black light gleamed along Zoro's swords as he coated them in Armament Haki.
"This is what I was waiting for!"
Zoro slashed. No fancy tricks, just raw power. Ohm's Cloud Sword snapped against his blade.
"What? My Cloud Sword!"
Ohm held a hilt with only half a blade left. He could still use it, but he was beginning to think about retreating.
"That's about all you've got," Zoro said. "I was only playing around before. You're no swordsman, so you're not my target. Now fall down and stay out of our way."
Ohm's hair would have stood on end—if he had any. "Do you have any idea what a priest is? Quit acting so smug!"
Ohm swung his Cloud Sword again. Its blade ricocheted off the ground and trees like a whip, trying to confuse Zoro.
Zoro remained unhurried, murmuring, "Thirty-six earthly desires in one lifetime. Seventy-two in two. One hundred and eight in three."
