Bang!
Bastille's hand trembled, and the Zhan Sha broadsword in his hand almost slipped from his grasp.
At the same time, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across the blade.
This is a thrust that destroys weapons!
Bastille's expression changed instantly.
Looking at the zombie in wooden clogs and a kimono before him, his face was filled with disbelief.
His intuition told him that this person was definitely no less than any Great Swordmaster in his lifetime.
"Heh, so even Marine Vice Admiral is nothing special."
Gecko Moria let out a strange laugh, his gaze immediately falling on the chaotic warships.
"Is that the Alabasta king over Shichibukai?"
"I happen to be short of a maid zombie, so I'll take the princess's shadow for now."
Whoosh!
The shadow beneath Gecko Moria's feet instantly detached from his body, transforming into a black shadow that shot directly into the air above the warship.
The enormous scissors he held gleamed with a chilling light.
Vivi and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Chaka and Pell quickly knocked away the zombies around them, intending to free their hands to help.
Unfortunately, the zombies around them seemed to be under the command of Gecko Moria, and they charged forward frantically, not allowing them to leave at all.
They could only watch helplessly as Vivi, surrounded by zombies, was attacked by shadows swooping down from the sky.
Seeing the enormous black shadow rapidly enlarging in her pupils, Vivi's face turned completely pale.
She didn't believe that she could go Shichibukai with her mediocre skills.
Buzz!
A sharp, piercing sound suddenly echoed through the heavens.
A dazzling crimson light shone within the sea.
The next moment, the sea surface was instantly torn apart, and the blood-red blade energy transformed into a streak of light, colliding with the swooping shadow first.
Bang!
The violent shockwave from the explosion swept back, tearing the dark figure apart instantly, which then scattered into countless bats.
The giant scissors he was holding were thrown into the air and landed diagonally on the shore several meters away, where they quickly shattered inch by inch.
The massive waves crashed down on the zombies, sweeping them into the sea.
This gave the attacked group a brief respite.
Seeing the loss of over a hundred zombies in an instant, Gecko Moria's face darkened to the extreme, and he the Roar angrily.
"Who is it? Who dares to interfere in the affairs of the Shichibukai? Are they tired of living?"
"It's me!"
The calm words echoed across the vast ocean.
Soon, a huge curtain of water was forcefully erected on the sea surface as massive warships broke through the water.
A blood-red flag, its coating pierced, was the first to flutter in the wind.
"It's the Marine Fourth Admiral War Demon Bai Yu! We're saved!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and even the Zombie Army that had been attacking instantly stopped.
It gives people the feeling that even ghosts are afraid of it.
"How did we end up with such a troublesome fellow, Lord Moria? Let's go." Standing beside Gecko Moria, Absalom, who resembled a lion, was the first to speak up and persuade him.
Gecko Moria's expression changed slightly; he was somewhat unwilling, but he also snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The previously agitated zombies also stopped and retreated like a tide.
" Gecko Moria, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but did I let you leave?"
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and leaped onto the dock.
The steps that Gecko Moria and the others had taken suddenly froze on the spot.
Looking back at the Marine Fourth Admiral, who had recently become infamous on the high seas and whose power even the Five Elders felt they couldn't control, forcing them to secretly kill him, his face turned extremely grim.
Facing this young man who even Kaido of the Beasts could struggle against, Gecko Moria didn't get carried away and think he could fight him.
However, as Shichibukai, it would be far too humiliating to be intimidated in public.
"Are you the World's Greatest Swordsman of our time? I challenge you!"
The zombie, who was originally wearing wooden clogs, slowly walked out and looked up at Bai Yu.
Gecko Moria and the others' expressions changed slightly.
They never expected Ryuma to do something like this.
However, this undoubtedly gave them a way out, at least temporarily.
You want to challenge me?
Bai Yu took a swig of liquor and smiled bloodthirstyly.
"Judging from your aura, accessories, and the embroidered patterns on your body, you must be Ryuma from Wano Country."
"You certainly deserve to be cut down."
Wano Country samurai?
The expressions of the slightly older people, such as Cobra, changed slightly.
More than twenty years ago, when they were still young, a powerful samurai from Wano Country once roamed the high seas.
And it was at that time that this name was etched into the hearts of the older generation.
Upon hearing this, Gecko Moria and the others also showed expressions of shock.
They never expected that Bai Yu would be able to recognize the zombie's identity.
"Hehe, I don't really know much about my memories of my past life, but I vaguely remember this name."
Ryuma chuckled dryly and said, "However, to encounter the World's Greatest Swordsman of our time while still alive is probably the most enjoyable thing in life."
"However, I have a request: I hope that regardless of the final outcome of the duel, you can simply let this matter drop."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gecko Moria and the others' expressions changed slightly.
They never expected that Ryuma would provide them with such a way out.
Bai Yu also showed a hint of surprise, but quickly recovered and said.
"Don't worry, I won't pursue this matter, but the prerequisite is whether you're worth the cost."
"Good!"
Ryuma laughed loudly in response, and with a swift step, he struck first.
The Shusui in his hand erupted with a fierce gale, thrusting towards Bai Yu head-on.
It moved so fast that it left only a series of afterimages along the way.
Seeing the rapidly enlarging attack in his pupils, Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, and his Zanpakuto instantly drew its sheath, colliding with the Shusui that was thrusting towards him.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed, and the swirling wind created an invisible shockwave that swept across the entire area.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ryuma's sunken eyes.
This was a thrust specifically designed to destroy weapons. In the instant of the collision, he clearly felt Bai Yu neutralize the hidden force of his attack.
This skill is far beyond what that Marine Vice Admiral could achieve.
However, it was precisely for this reason that the originally dim soul fire in Ryuma's eyes suddenly surged up, giving the impression that it was burning.
Having missed its target, Shusui in his hand, once again unleashed a powerful aura, thrusting wildly at Bai Yu.
