Zoro and Helmeppo were at a slight disadvantage against the two officers under Buggy.
Zoro had taken a blow to the kidney, leaving him in terrible shape from blood loss.
Helmeppo was simply weak. Handling a dozen lackeys was no problem for him, but that "big lion" had him running all over the place.
The battlefield had split into separate fights.
"Huff-"
Zoro panted heavily. The wound at his waist was still bleeding, and his vision was a little blurry.
The sound of a unicycle came from his flank.
"Hee hee hee... Mr. Zoro, you don't look so good."
Cabaji rode his unicycle, a sinister smile on his face.
"Want to take a break? Not that I'll wait for you."
Zoro said nothing. He merely tightened his grip on his swords.
"Nothing to say? Then I won't hold back."
Cabaji suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a jet of flame.
-Acrobatics: Fire-Breathing!
Zoro sidestepped, the flames brushing past his cheek.
Cabaji seized the opening and charged forward, thrusting his saber straight at Zoro's chest.
-Clang!
Zoro parried with his sword, but his movements had clearly slowed.
Still balanced on his unicycle, Cabaji delivered an acrobatic kick directly to Zoro's wound.
"How disappointing. So this is the 'demon beast'?"
Cabaji's smile grew smugger. He flicked his hand, sending a dozen tops flying from his sleeve.
"-Acrobatics: Kamikaze Hundred-Top Theater!"
The tops hurtled toward Zoro, forcing him back step after step. He swung both swords and sliced through most of them, but one still grazed his leg, leaving a bloody line.
"Nice dodge! How about this?"
-Acrobatics: Water Vapor Murder.
Smoke billowed up, obscuring his vision.
Then Cabaji leaped up on his unicycle and rode vertically along the wall.
-Acrobatics: Mountain Climbing!
His saber stabbed down from Zoro's blind spot.
