Faced with Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro's deadly attack, Zoro finally fully mastered the Conqueror's Haki Coating attack.
At this moment, the Asura demonic Demonic Aura emanating from him enveloped his entire body, and his Conqueror's Haki caused the heavens and earth to change color.
The Shodai Kitetsu slashed fiercely at the three Famous Sword, and the ground beneath their feet shattered. The flying stones were annihilated by the sword energy between the two before they could travel far.
At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to lose their color. Following Mihawk and Shanks, the earth and clouds were once again cleaved into a huge chasm.
However, their attacks did not last long. Although Zoro broke through temporarily and launched a more ferocious attack, he even cut a huge wound on Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro.
However, Zoro was also sent flying backwards; compared to Mythical Zoan, he was still far inferior.
What pained him even more was that his Famous Sword, which he had always enhanced with Armament Haki, had developed a nick.
"Puff!"
Zoro couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but he ignored his injury and stared intently at his Famous Sword.
"Damn old man, I'll definitely kill you to pay for my knife!"
Zoro couldn't help but curse, and quickly checked his weapon, figuring it would be useless regardless of victory or defeat after this battle.
As for Izambaron V. Saint Nusjuro, he ignored Zoro's curses and looked at his chest with a flushed face. A two-meter-long wound cut from his left shoulder to his abdomen, and a lot of blood gushed out.
"You damn brat, I'll tear you to pieces!"
Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro was also furious. He didn't even know how many years it had been since he had been injured—a hundred years? Two hundred years?
But today, someone I consider an ant not only tried to kill me, but also cut a wound into my body.
How could this not infuriate Izambaron V. Saint Nusjuro, and make him feel even more humiliated?
Suddenly, countless black lights surged from Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro's body, enveloping his wound. In just a few breaths, the huge wound disappeared.
Zoro's pupils contracted, his face filled with shock.
"How is that possible!"
"Hahaha, you lowly commoner, I am immortal! Without an absolute attack, there's no way you can defeat me."
Zoro was puzzled. Had he won the lottery? Saint Saturn was killed outright back then, and he had Mythical Zoan Fruit. Why was this old guy so outstanding?
He didn't think much of it; if one strike wouldn't kill him, he'd just strike him a few more times.
Having made up his mind, Zoro took a deep breath and, ignoring his exhaustion, charged forward again.
However, this time he was facing Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro in his human-beast form, and the opponent was using the Shodai Kitetsu, whose attack and defense were maxed out.
Zoro was instantly at a disadvantage. The three days and three nights of continuous fighting had already exhausted him, and he had also used a slash Conqueror's Haki Coating.
Sweat poured down Zoro's face as his stamina rapidly depleted. With the continued intensity of the battle, he sustained several more wounds.
"Damn it, I'm running out of stamina. Are all these Devil Fruit User monsters?"
Zoro's heart sank. After another hour of mutual attacks, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and was sent flying.
At that moment, Zoro felt his arms trembling uncontrollably, and his chest felt like it was burning with fire.
Seeing that his opponent's stamina couldn't keep up with the pace of the battle, Izambaron V. Saint Nusjuro finally laughed.
"Hahaha, you damned lowly commoner, your stamina is finally exhausted. Now, for the glory of the Celestial Dragons, I'll send you to hell!"
Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro raised the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand and slashed fiercely at Zoro, striking while the iron was hot and finishing him off. He was no old-fashioned person.
Zoro raised his hand again with difficulty to block, but this time, although he managed to block it, he felt the unparalleled strength of his opponent and was sent flying backward.
Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro did not stop his attack. His massive horse-like body charged forward, and he raised the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand high, ready to annihilate the enemy in front of him.
Just at this critical moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out.
" Zoro, I've come to find you!"
The newcomer was none other than Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Ever since he learned the truth and that his grandfather was alright, he had no reason to hate Lin Yuan.
Moreover, upon learning from Sanji that Lin Yuan was planning to attack the World Government, and that Zoro had gone with him, he panicked and frantically rushed towards Mary Geoise.
As soon as he landed on the Red Line, he saw a monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse swinging a sword at Zoro. His eyes instantly turned red, and he immediately activated Gear Fifth.
"Clang!"
Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro's Shodai Kitetsu was deflected by Luffy's punch, slashing a deep trench in the ground.
Luffy's appearance also immediately attracted the attention of Imu and Lin Yuan. At this moment, the two had already broken free from the other's power, but did not continue to attack.
Imu's gaze toward Luffy was filled with murderous intent, yet also a hint of nostalgia, as if it had stirred up some memories for him.
As for Lin Yuan, he thought to himself, "As expected of the chosen one of the world, and as expected of the main characters, they can even do this!"
He had originally planned to save Zoro, but now it's unnecessary.
Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro stared coldly at Luffy, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
" Pirate King Luffy, you've actually come in person! Perfect timing to kill you too, Lord Imu will be very happy."
Zoro was also surprised that Luffy would appear at this moment and save his life, which warmed his heart.
"What are you doing here! Don't you know this is a world war? You could die here!"
Luffy turned to look at Zoro and shouted loudly.
"Hmph, I'm your captain! That guy who swore he'd never lose again before I became the Pirate King almost died! How could I not come!"
Zoro looked at the dumbfounded Luffy with a black line on his face and said helplessly.
"That's not because you were invincible before you became the Pirate King. Now that you've become the new Pirate King, you naturally haven't broken your oath."
Luffy, however, didn't seem to care and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, I'm your captain. I've been so grateful for your help before. Now I'm here to help you. I heard you're looking for a knife, the one the other guy has, right? I'll get it back for you. You're still too weak."
Zoro's face darkened, and he cursed.
"I'm really strong right now, okay? If I weren't exhausted, I would definitely kill that old guy."
Luffy seemed to sense that Zoro had broken through, and indeed, as he said, Zoro was exhausted. However, Luffy said he couldn't hear him, picked his nose, and then sprang away.
The black substance stuck directly to Zoro's clothes, giving him an urge to kill Luffy.
"You damn bastard, stop spitting your snot!"
Seeing the two arguing and fighting as if no one else was around, Izambaron V. Saint Nusjuro's face darkened. Even Imu and Lin Yuan were dumbfounded, this was on the battlefield!
Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro four legs to charge forward fiercely.
"Die, Straw Hat Kid and this wretched guy!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand was suddenly drawn and slashed fiercely towards Luffy and Zoro!
