" The Imperial Flaming Wings!"
As it hovered in mid-air, King flapped its wings and fired countless fire bullets from the flames on its back, sweeping towards Zoro like a machine gun.
" Tatsumaki!"
This level of attack posed no threat to Zoro. He simply swung his arm, and a black Tatsumaki appeared, blocking all the flames.
King was not so arrogant as to think he could defeat Zoro with such an attack; he was merely testing the waters.
Moreover, with the ability to fly, he believed he was already invincible; now it was just a matter of how to defeat his opponent.
Seeing Zoro easily block the attack, King immediately drew his long sword, and flames enveloped the katana.
"Hehe, watch out, I'm about to attack without mercy!"
Even towards opponents of similar strength, Jhin still showed them sufficient respect.
Zoro did the same, a smile playing on his lips.
"Then come on, I will defeat you in my strongest form."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in King's eyes, and then countless flames gathered as he pointed his katana at Zoro.
" Fire Dragon Emperor!"
With a soft shout from King, a flame resembling an Eastern dragon suddenly burst forth, its intense heat distorting the air as it surged towards Zoro like magma.
Zoro's pupils contracted, and he was about to raise his sword to block when Lin Yuan's teachings suddenly came to mind.
He stomped his foot suddenly, and his entire body vanished from the spot in an instant. The scorching flames blasted a huge crater within a radius of a hundred meters, turning the rocks into lava.
King naturally spotted Zoro's location, but he didn't expect that Zoro wouldn't directly withstand his attack, a style completely different from the pirates' head-on confrontation.
"Hmph, let's see where you can hide now, Fire Dragon Emperor!"
King unleashed another burst of magma-like flames, which he then blasted towards Zoro.
An attack of this magnitude cannot be defended against with moves like Tatsumaki alone.
However, Zoro had no intention of confronting his opponent head-on, and instead dodged continuously as if teleporting.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled. Kuina was also stunned and looked at Lin Yuan with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't this the Shave from the Six Powers? Zoro can actually do it too, and he actually chose to dodge in a head-on confrontation, which is completely unlike his style."
"Heh, so what? You can dodge it with just the Six Powers. Why use more energy-consuming techniques to fight head-on? In a battle between strong individuals, besides attack power, defense power, and various abilities, the most important thing is stamina and physical strength."
While watching the battle, Lin Yuan imparted new knowledge to Kuina. Although he had told them these things before, people in the pirate world preferred to tough it out.
Kuina did not refute, she naturally understood these principles, but so far, apart from the top experts in the " Abyss " Merchant Guild, there was no one who could make her evade.
Zoro's techniques were naturally taught by Lin Yuan, and although it was only for a month, Kuina saw Zoro's efforts.
Meanwhile, after bombarding him dozens of times, King's expression turned sour. In his eyes, Zoro was like a Nezumi scurrying around, not engaging in any direct confrontation with him.
Moreover, as time went on, he found that his physical strength was greatly depleted, while Zoro seemed completely unaffected and had not experienced any exertion at all.
Although he bombarded an area spanning several kilometers, he failed to inflict any damage on the enemy.
Having figured this out, Jhin stopped using the move. Instead, he pulled his head back like a spring and then released it to unleash a silent shockwave.
Zoro, who had been dodging, had just stopped when he felt warnings coming from his Observation Haki, but he didn't detect any attacks.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, powerful shockwaves slammed into Zoro, causing his expression to change drastically. The ground around him shattered instantly, and he was blasted into the air.
"Puff!!!"
Intense pain spread throughout his body. For a moment, Zoro felt as if he had shattered, and he quickly used Armament Haki to defend himself.
"Puff!"
Zoro spat out another mouthful of blood, muttering to himself.
"What a terrifying attack! It's like a laser beam, and it's completely silent and impossible to defend against."
Despite his injuries, Zoro showed no signs of dejection; on the contrary, he was even more excited.
"Hahaha, this is the kind of fight I wanted. You're a decent opponent, but compared to the many Death Fist techniques I've used before, you're still too weak."
Upon hearing this, Jin's face instantly turned ugly. He clearly had the upper hand, but his opponent was becoming even more arrogant.
"Hmph, what nonsense! The Straw Hat Pirates ' vice-captain is nothing special. In that case, I'll show you what I'm capable of."
" The Tempura Udon!"
King used the move again, and an invisible shockwave blasted towards Zoro once more.
This time, Zoro didn't dodge. Although he couldn't see the opponent's attack, he didn't just sit and wait to die.
" Two-Sword Style: Eagle Wave!"
The Nidai and Sandai Kitetsu crossed in front of his chest, then he quickly swung the swords to create two streams of air pressure, which then turned into two shockwaves that slashed towards Jin.
The two shockwaves collided directly in mid-air, then transformed into a terrifying sonic boom, the resulting shockwave sweeping across the entire Onigashima.
The intense air pressure forced everyone fighting in the distance to take precautions.
Only Kaido allowed the shockwave to slam into him.
"Haha, not bad attack, keep it up, Jhin!"
After saying that, he took another big gulp of wine.
As for Lin Yuan and Kuina in mid-air, they also did not make any movement, but the shockwaves that came from them disappeared when they were a hundred meters away.
"The attack power is decent, but it's a bit flashy."
Kuina pouted. She had seen too many of Zoro's moves, but none of them were worthy of her attention.
It's not that she looks down on him, but Kuina's swordsmanship is superior to Zoro's, and she could have had better attack methods, like her Conqueror's Haki Slash.
Seeing that his attack had been countered by Zoro, King knew that he would not be able to defeat his opponent if he continued like this. So he simply recovered his strength while attacking with fireballs, and occasionally flew down to engage in close combat with his huge katana.
While dodging, Zoro also unleashed a series of sword strikes and counterattacked when his opponent got close.
As powerful Admiral, although the battle was fierce, their formidable physiques meant that neither could gain the upper hand for the time being.
The fight between the two was similar to the fight between Sanji and his Sanji; neither could gain the upper hand.
Those watching were all top-tier experts, so they were naturally aware of the situation and patiently observed the battle.
A full day and night passed, and when the sun shone through the clouds over Onigashima again, Sanji and his crew were already panting heavily and had to stop fighting.
Zoro and King were also radiating heat, both suffering numerous injuries. King stopped flying and chose to fight Zoro head-on.
Seeing the state of Sanji and the others, as well as Luffy who was still Luffy, Zoro glanced almost imperceptibly at Kaido and made a decision in his heart.
When King charged at him again, Zoro sheathed both Kitetsu swords and became completely calm.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled, Kuina looked a little nervous, and even Kaido's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Die! Guardian Fire Dragon Emperor - Dragon Fang Slash!"
Zoro ignored King's attacks, gripping the two Kitetsu with both hands, and biting a Famous Sword between his teeth.
"Boom!"
" Conqueror's Haki Coating - Slash!"
