Lin Yuan was not surprised by Kuina's confidence; after all, she was now far superior to Zoro had just broken through to the next level.
"Hehe, Kuina, that kid Zoro was personally trained by me, so don't go easy on him!"
"Grandpa Garp, if we're really talking about relationships, Zoro is Kuina's junior apprentice, and that kid's master is Kuina's father."
Lin Yuan glared at Garp, annoyed. He was clearly plotting something, wanting Kuina to train Zoro.
"Oh, is that so? No wonder that kid challenged Kuina. Well then, it's nothing, just beat him up."
Upon hearing this, Redfield, Shiki, and Mihawk also became interested.
" Lin Yuan, let's go take a look then. After all, it's a duel between great swordsmen with the strength of Admiral; it should be very exciting."
Lin Yuan nodded and did not refuse. After discussing it with the others, he took Kuina, Hancock, Yamato, Uta, Redfield, Shiki, and Mihawk with him.
As for Li Taibai and the others, they did not go along, since they were all experts in Haki and needed to stay here to oversee things.
Garp originally wanted to go too, but Zephyr stopped him, so he had to give up in disappointment.
After telling them the location of the battle, Lin Yuan led his women away first.
As for the others, with Shiki there, it wasn't a problem. Everyone was already used to Lin Yuan's ability to fly through the clouds, and although they were envious, they didn't say anything.
" Kuina, let me tell you, that guy named Zoro is really interesting. He's a hopeless navigator; he can drive back and forth at the same intersection countless times."
Emile Kuina aside and told her what she had seen, which made the girls all laugh.
Lin Yuan lay on Hancock's soft thighs, which seemed longer than his life, his eyes closed as he pondered things, occasionally opening his mouth to accept the food Hancock offered.
None of them spoke about the fight between Kuina and Zoro, showing they didn't care much at all.
And so they quickly arrived at the agreed-upon place, but Zoro was nowhere to be seen.
"Why hasn't that guy arrived yet? It's been days, that's so slow!"
Erza and Emile exchanged a puzzled look.
After all, the location Lin Yuan specified gave him ample opportunity to prepare, considering the distance they were traveling to pick up Kuina was equivalent to ten times that of Zoro.
Lin Yuan also looked around in surprise, releasing his Observation Haki to sense the surroundings, but there was no sign of life on the deserted island at this moment.
He used his senses to probe the island where Zoro had been, and soon discovered two figures dozens of miles away, tragically rowing a boat while holding weapons.
Lin Yuan's expression turned somewhat strange. He then realized that he had forgotten to arrange a boat for them, and in order to avoid being exposed, Lawrence had only used his Beli to buy a small boat.
Although it's a bit bigger than Mihawk's coffin boat, it's still a manual transmission.
Ignoring the two pathetic creatures, Lin Yuan made some arrangements around him, concealing everyone's presence. Those whose strength was inferior to his would not be able to detect him at all.
Kuina was not arrogant. She quickly surveyed her surroundings, then sat down to rest, placing the Wado Ichimonji in front of her.
Several hours passed before Zoro and Lawrence finally arrived, even after Shiki and the others had all come.
However, they did not fight immediately. After they arrived, Lin Yuan took out a lot of food to treat them. Kuina and Zoro were also very happy to see each other again.
It had been more than ten years since we last saw each other, and while I was happy, there was also a sense of estrangement.
The two only smiled when they started talking about the thousands of challenges they had completed.
Zoro picked up his three swords and stood up, while Kuina walked to the side, holding the Wado Ichimonji.
For them, the original agreement was not just an agreement, but also a burden and a constraint. Regardless of the outcome of today's battle, they will not make any further agreements.
"Clang!!!"
" Kuina, it's been so many years. I'm not the same person I used to be. You'd better watch out."
Zoro drew his weapon, gripped it with both hands, and also had one in his mouth.
"Hehe, Father would be very happy to know how much you've accomplished, but I've already exceeded his expectations."
Kuina also slowly drew her Wado Ichimonji, but when she looked at Zoro's weapon, she couldn't help but frown.
As for Lin Yuan, he sat to the side, slowly sipping his tea, with Lawrence standing behind him like a guard.
Unseen by Zoro, a group of powerful figures were also watching the battle closely.
" Three-Sword Style! I never knew someone could fight with three swords!"
"Heh, I've met this Zoro before. He's a very interesting guy. He challenged me once, but he was too weak back then."
"Oh, tell me more details!"
A group of old guys watched the battle that was about to begin while gossiping.
Lin Yuan watched as the two men's auras continued to rise, then slightly raised his hand and flicked a drop of tea, instantly shattering a stone in the arena.
As if receiving a signal, Kuina and Zoro rushed towards each other.
" Three-Sword Style: Oni Giri!"
" One Sword Style: Sky Breaker!"
Dark Armament Haki instantly covered the blade, and the two attacks sliced through the air, colliding violently.
"Boom!!!"
With a single strike, Wado Ichimonji struck the middle of Zoro's three swords, causing a flicker of surprise to cross Zoro's eyes.
The sharp blade cleaved four trenches, each hundreds of meters long, into the surrounding ground, and even severed the clouds in the sky.
As the battle began, Mihawk and the others stopped talking and carefully observed the fight between the great swordsmen.
After a probing attack, Zoro and Kuina attacked simultaneously, relentlessly assaulting each other.
They are no longer the two children training with wooden swords; they are now a true battle of the strong.
The chilling light of the blade instantly swept across the space within a radius of several miles; except for the location where Lin Yuan was, the light of the blade flashed everywhere.
Zoro was shocked to find that even after his strength had hovered between life and death and he had reached the level of Admiral, he still couldn't quickly defeat Kuina.
He was confident that he could surpass his opponent within a few years, after all, according to his master Koshiro, women are naturally inferior to men in terms of strength.
Zoro could sense his own progress, but he didn't expect Kuina to still be so strong, just like during their first match.
Kuina was equally surprised by Zoro's progress. Over the years, she had seen many strong individuals by Lin Yuan's side, but she had never seen anyone improve as quickly as Zoro.
However, Kuina did not panic. The Wado Ichimonji in her hand almost became a blur, and her body kept moving, fiercely unleashing a series of Flying Slash.
Zoro, who originally wielded three swords, has also changed. His aura has become increasingly sinister, and he even looks like he has three heads and six arms, like a demon.
" Demonic Aura - Asura!"
