The moment the scabbard closed, a gash suddenly appeared on Nami's abdomen, but... what shot out was a surge of lightning.
Nami: "Huh?"
Ryuma: (#°Д°)!
Nami was stunned for a moment, then became incredibly excited.
Yeah, damn it, she's Logia Fruit user! What are these zombies who haven't mastered Armament Haki afraid of?!
"Since that's the case..."
Nami ran straight to Luffy and his crew's battlefield to help, acting all arrogant because she knew she wouldn't get attacked!
These powerful individuals' corpses may have been masters of Armament Haki in life, but the problem is that the shadows inserted into their bodies are all trash; not a single shadow possesses Armament Haki.
This means that these zombies don't use Armament Haki at all, so Nami isn't worried at all!
With Nami constantly harassing them, Luffy and the others felt much less pressure. Although Nami wasn't particularly strong, thanks to the power of her Rumble-Rumble Fruit, she was in her element in this group battle.
Zoro suddenly said to Nami, " Nami! Let's take down these zombies. You can kill them as you see fit, otherwise they'll just get back up!"
"Okay!" Nami nodded.
For the next period of time, Luffy and his friends would first briefly defeat the zombies, and then Nami would go over and finish them off with a Thunderbolt attack.
With this coordinated effort, the number of these zombie generals is decreasing rapidly.
Upon seeing this, Moria couldn't sit still any longer. He had originally intended to wear down these zombie generals by using their immortality.
But now there's this cheater. Doesn't that mean he's basically giving the other team an experience boost?
Thinking of this, Moria's expression suddenly turned grim, and he said to Perona beside him, " Perona, use your Devil Fruit ability to help too! I'm going to wake that guy up!"
After saying that, Moria ran off in a certain direction behind him.
Seeing Moria run away, Hogback, who was standing to the side, immediately had the idea of running away as well. He knew very well what kind of person he was.
So he followed Moria, shouting, " Lord Moria, wait for me! I'm coming to help you!"
Perona, watching this scene, was speechless. What could you possibly do to help?
Perona shook her head and turned her gaze to Luffy and his crew. She wasn't worried at all. As long as the man who had previously frightened her wasn't there, his remaining companions... were nothing to fear!
Thinking this, Perona simply reached out and summoned countless ghosts. Then she waved her hand downwards.
" Negative Hollow, get out of here!"
Meanwhile, the group was still battling the zombie generals when suddenly Zoro saw the ghosts arrive and shouted to Luffy:
" Luffy, watch out! A ghost is heading your way!"
"What?!" Luffy had barely turned his head when a Negative Hollow passed right through his body.
"Thump!"
Luffy immediately knelt down, head bowed, and said with utter despair, "If there's an afterlife, I'd like to be a sea cucumber!"
Just then, a zombie's knife came crashing down on him. In that critical moment, a sudden kick sent Luffy off the battlefield.
Zoro and Sanji both took a step back, forming a standoff with the zombies.
Zoro looked at the ghosts in the sky and said, " Luffy turned into that form after these ghosts passed through him. Be careful, everyone!"
Perona, standing behind the zombie general, mocked the crowd, "So what if you know? That man isn't here. You can't possibly be a match for me! Surrender!"
Zoro ignored Perona's shouts and instead said to Nami beside him:
" Nami, I'm going to sweep all the zombies into the sky. You can kill them all as needed!"
"Okay!" Nami nodded.
Zoro slowly stepped forward, his aura suddenly changing, and said, "Let me show you my newly developed technique!"
With that, Zoro charged towards the zombies.
"Hahaha... Are you looking for death, you stupid swordsman?"
Seeing Zoro charging towards them alone, Perona scoffed mercilessly, "Trying to take on all these zombie generals by yourself? Dream on!"
"Zombie generals, charge! Tear him to pieces!"
"Roar~"
As Zoro drew closer to the zombies, Zoro suddenly leaped up and exclaimed, word by word, " Three-Sword Style: Black Rope: Great Tornado!"
In an instant, a tornado of sword energy rose from the ground, engulfing all the surrounding zombies.
Perona, who was much farther away, was also caught in the crossfire.
Nami seized the opportunity, gathering lightning power in her hands before unleashing it with a powerful burst.
"Ten million volts, Discharge!"
A powerful electric current surged continuously within the sword energy tornado, directly forming Thunder Sword Energy Tornado.
Seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Zoro's eyes. It seemed... he and Nami could pull off a combination attack?
The newly formed tornado not only possessed sharp sword energy but also fierce lightning; the combination of the two directly boosted its power to a whole new level.
Once the commotion subsided, the zombies fell to the ground one by one, burned to ashes by the flames ignited by the lightning.
Perona was also lying on the ground, her body charred black, but she was not dead; she had only fainted.
Zoro slowly walked forward and picked up a sword from the ground. That's right, it was Ryuma's sword; Zoro had noticed it earlier when Nami.
Zoro carefully examined the patterns on the sword, immediately recognizing it as a fine blade. He then turned to Usopp and said:
" Usopp, did you bring the manual for the Famous Sword that I left with you last time?"
"Oh, there is!" Usopp rummaged through his bag for a bit, then pulled out a small booklet and handed it to Zoro.
Zoro opened it and began searching, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
"Found it!"
The sword drawn on the page Zoro is looking at now is the one he's holding.
" The Twenty-One Great Grade Swords - The Famous Sword Shusui!"
A slight smile appeared on Zoro's lips. He hadn't expected to gain anything from just going out for a fight!
That way he'll have four knives: three to use and one as a spare—perfect!
Just then, a violent tremor suddenly came from the castle ahead, drawing everyone's attention.
Immediately afterwards, the group witnessed a scene that shocked them greatly: a section of the castle wall suddenly shattered, and a huge red fist emerged from it.
Then an enormous, red, humanoid creature appeared before them.
"What is this?!" Everyone shouted in unison, utterly shocked.
