Seeing Zoro suddenly appear in front of Rosward, the guards who had been moving to seize Camie quickly turned around and charged at him with their spears raised!
"36 Pound Phoenix!"
Zoro brought his sword behind his head, then swung hard at the guards charging toward him!
Thirty-six slashes carrying fierce sword energy whistled through the air and struck the guards. Their armor might as well have been paper; it did not withstand Zoro's attack for even a moment. Blood sprayed from the cracks in their armor!
"You're out of your league... Brook! Get Camie and Hachi out of here!"
Zoro dispatched the charging guards with a single stroke and called out.
"All right! Leave it to me!"
Brook immediately answered, picked up Camie and the injured Hachi, and left at once. Vivi and Chopper followed him.
But Rosward refused to let them go and shouted.
"Guards! Stop them!"
"Yes, sir!"
"You fools actually want to protect fish-men?"
The guard shouted, but an instant later, he was sent flying along with his weapon!
"Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!"
Luffy sent the guard flying with a punch, then shouted at Rosward.
"Camie and Hachi aren't going to be slaves!"
"So you're determined to defy us? Contact Marine Headquarters and the warships! Teach them a lesson!"
Rosward had flown into a humiliated rage. As he shouted, none of the elegance he had displayed as a Celestial Dragon upon his arrival remained.
"Turn all their female pirates into specimens! Don't give the men any feed! Starve them into skin-and-bones slaves!"
Rosward screamed in fury, but Luffy's expression turned cold. Veins bulged over his already clenched fist.
"Are you still running your mouth?"
"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!"
Luffy punched in fury, his fist once again shattering Rosward's face shield and smashing hard into his face!
