From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 33 My name is Roronoa Zoro!
After using the Dark-Dark Fruit to negate Mihawk's first attack, Bane didn't want to get entangled with such a strong man.

Even though Crocodile and Mihawk, whom he planned to kill, were both great pirates listed among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in Bane's heart, he did not regard Crocodile and Mihawk, who had not yet gone to the Impelton Prison for "Dragon Field Enlightenment", as strong men of the same level.

Crocodile is now fallen, but Mihawk is the world's number one swordsman!
If they really faced each other, Bane would have no chance of winning!
"Quick, quick, turn the rudder, use our speed to get rid of him!" Bane quickly turned around and called out.

After a brief shock, Nami quickly came to her senses, took out a whistle, and prepared to summon Moo Moo following under the boat to pull the boat so that they could escape as quickly as possible.

The younger brothers on the boat also took quick action after a brief panic, raising the sails as needed and turning the rudder as needed.

With the speed of that small boat, it would normally be impossible for it to catch up with this large three-masted sailing ship with good performance.

However, Bane did not let down his guard. After all, at this distance, with Mihawk's strength, if he abandoned ship and chased after him, it would only take a blink of an eye.

However, before he could put aside his worry that Mihawk would abandon ship and chase him, Zoro, who was originally sitting under the mast, suddenly stood up with excitement in his eyes.

"Zoron!" Bane was about to shout at him to stop causing trouble, but it was too late.

With Zoro's personality, there is no way he would let go if he met a master of kendo!

Zoro rushed out of the deck without saying a word, jumped into the sea, then used the Moon Step and rushed towards Mihawk on the waves.

For a moment, Bane regretted deeply, why did he teach this guy the Six Styles! ?
But it was only a moment, and Zoro had already rushed out. Bane knew that he could not stop him. After gritting his teeth and hesitating for a moment, he cursed: "Damn, these damn swordsmen, one by one, are so impulsive!"

After cursing, Bane raised his hand and shouted, "Stop the boat!"

Although everyone didn't understand Bane's orders, as the captain, they could only follow his orders.

On the other side, Mihawk was only slightly interested in Bane, but he didn't expect that before he could catch up, a swordsman would rush out from there! ?

As a veteran who had been on the sea for many years, especially one who was once known as the 'Navy Hunter', Mihawk naturally recognized at a glance that the other party was using the naval technique of Six Styles.

"Navy?" Mihawk first made such a guess, but then denied it, it didn't seem like it.

He was too lazy to guess the other party's identity. He stood on the boat and watched with interest the young swordsman who was rushing towards him at a very fast speed.

Originally, Zoro didn't know that the person opposite him was Mihawk. He just felt that there was a kendo master. But when the distance between the two of them was rapidly shortened, Zoro also saw the appearance of the person opposite him clearly.

He may not know the admirals of the navy, and may not know who the Four Emperors are, but he will definitely not make a mistake about the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk!
The moment he recognized Mihawk's identity, what Zoro felt was not fear, but excitement, extreme excitement!

Even though he had felt how terrible and terrifying the strength of the world's top powers was through the scene caused by Garp's punch in Rogue Town, at this moment, he still chose to move forward. He wanted to draw his sword against the world's strongest swordsman!

How sharp was Mihawk's eyes? In this short moment, he saw the change in the expression of the young swordsman opposite him.

"Interesting. It's been a long time since I met a swordsman who dares to draw his sword against me." Mihawk raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of appreciation.

Be it arrogance and ignorance, or something else, in Mihawk's opinion, a true swordsman must have the courage to draw his sword against a stronger one. No matter how good his skills, how strong his strength, or how outstanding his talents are, if he doesn't have the courage to move forward, he can never become the strongest in kendo!

Back then, he was such an unscrupulous swordsman. With just one sword, he chopped down the entire sea, and finally sat on the throne of the strongest kendo master!
Bane stopped the boat and prepared for battle, but he did not attack rashly. Instead, he carefully observed Mihawk's condition at this time. When he saw that Mihawk's attention was on Zoro who was rushing over, and he did not attack Zoro immediately, he felt a little relieved. Maybe things were not as bad as he imagined?
However, he did not let his guard down because Zoro was his junior fellow apprentice and his first partner. He had promised his master to take care of him, so there was no way Bane would just ignore him!
Moreover, although Bane knew that he could not beat Mihawk, there was no need to despair. At most, he could just open the door and run away with Zoro and Nami. Could Mihawk chase him to the Empire? It happened in a flash. While everyone was thinking about it, Zoro had already rushed in front of Mihawk. At this time, he pressed his hands on the two handles of the swords at his waist, biting the unsheathed Wado Ichimonji in his mouth.

Precisely because he had recognized that the opponent was the strongest in kendo, there was no need for him to test the opponent at all, and he just went for the killing move right away!
"Three Swords Style·Secret·Three Thousand Worlds!!!" The two swords in Zoro's hands were unsheathed and spun instantly. While shouting loudly, he directly used the shaving step technique in the last two steps, instantly closing the distance between him and Mihawk.

But he is the strongest swordsman after all. At this moment, Mihawk can even secretly comment on Zoro's swordsmanship in his heart.

"The timing and technique are great, but still too immature."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Mihawk's hawk-like eyes, even without using the domineering power of observation, still saw through Zoro's killing move. In an instant, the black sword "Night" in his hand was blocked in front of him with an elegant posture.

The next moment, with a clang, Zoro's three swords came together in a cross pattern and hit Mihawk's black sword, Night.

The secret of the Three Thousand Worlds was blocked in an instant!
"What!?" Zoro was shocked, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He knew that the other party was very strong, but he still didn't expect that the other party could receive his secret with such ease!
At this moment, he felt that he was like a toddler who had just learned to hold a knife in front of the other party!
However, the shock was only for a moment. Zoro's mind was quite firm. His eyes sank, and then he changed his moves. The three swords scattered instantly. His figure turned, like a sword dance, and he attacked Mihawk from three directions at the same time.

"Decisive, determined, and never discouraged. Even though he knew the gap between them, he still dared to attack the strong." Mihawk once again gave Zoro a positive evaluation in his heart.

At the same time, his figure moved very gracefully, as if his feet were not moving, but he accurately avoided all of Zoro's attacks. Then he seized an opportunity, raised his hand and flashed, and the black knife cut through the air.

With a crisp sound of ding, the snow in Zoro's hand somehow slipped out of his hand and fell directly onto Mihawk's small sampan.

Before Zoro could react, he felt a pain in his neck and blood gushed out. He looked again and saw that the black knife "Night" in Mihawk's hand was already on Zoro's shoulder. The sharp blade pierced Zoro's skin, leaving a shallow scar.

At this moment, Zoro knew that he had lost, but before that, Bane had already rushed towards him with the Moon Step.

Mihawk glanced at Bane's figure, and then said in an appreciative tone: "You have a good partner."

"That guy is my senior brother." Zoro said calmly. This was the first time he took the initiative to call Bane "senior brother" in front of outsiders.

"Oh? Your senior brother? So, he is also very talented in swordsmanship? Is he better than you?" Mihawk asked with interest.

Hearing this, Zoro didn't care at all that his life was in the hands of others, and said with a grin, "No, his swordsmanship is terrible."

"Hahahahahaha" Mihawk suddenly laughed and said, "What an interesting pair of brothers."

As he finished speaking, he put down the sword in his hand, looked at Zoro and asked: "Tell me your name, young swordsman."

And the moment he put down the knife in his hand, Bane stopped his steps in time, stepped on the moon step, stood on the sea, and looked at Mihawk and Zoro.

Zoro's eyes darkened, without any sign of fear or retreat, he looked at Mihawk firmly and said, "Roronoa Zoro!"

Then, before Mihawk could even speak, he added forcefully: "In the future, I will definitely defeat you and become the world's greatest swordsman standing at the pinnacle of kendo!"
