Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

Johnny and Joseph were completely dumbfounded, speechless. 7

They felt as if they were watching a magic trick.

"Ah, I feel like I'm dreaming too." 6

Zoro flexed his muscles, revealing that his right upper arm was thicker than a tree trunk. (6)

"Suddenly having such strong muscles and growing almost a meter taller, I feel like I've turned into a monster!"

When the word "monster" was mentioned, Zoro suddenly smiled, his eyes revealing a gleam of ambition.

"But this is exactly what I want."

"In this world, what beast doesn't turn into a monster!"

After saying that, he returned to the deserted island and confronted Hawkeye.

Zoro held the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, gripped Johnny and Joseph's swords in both hands, and confidently said:

"Hawkeye, you better watch out! This time, I won't play childish games like before!"

Hawkeye smiled and said:

"It's great that you have such fighting spirit and such a strong presence. Compared to before, it's a world of difference."

"However, I, the world's greatest swordsman, am not as fragile as you imagine!"

Zoro grinned: "That would be perfect!"

call out!

Zoro moved, moving at incredible speed, and arrived in front of Mihawk in the blink of an eye.

Three knives slashed out simultaneously.

Hawkeye remained calm and held Black Blade Night in front of him.

clang!

The loud metallic clang demonstrated just how powerful Zoro's attack was!

Click!

The ground beneath Hawkeye's feet had actually cracked.

"What a strength!"

"But that's not enough to defeat me!"

Hawkeye swung his sword forcefully, forcing Zoro back.

Without pausing for a moment, he used the momentum from swinging the knife to turn around and swing it again.

hum!

A massive emerald green sword beam shot out!

Zoro looked solemn.

He was finally able to sense just how powerful Hawkeye, the world's strongest swordsman, truly was!

In the previous battle, the opponent probably didn't even use one-thousandth of their strength!

"This is the kind of battle I've been hoping for!"

Zoro trembled with excitement.

The three swords simultaneously blocked the sword beam unleashed by Hawkeye.

"Break it for me!"

Zoro roared and, with sheer force, tore the sword's edge apart!

"Santo-ryu·Tiger Hunting!"

Zoro descended like a tiger from the mountain, slashing down at Mihawk from above.

There was a faint sword aura, forming the shape of a tiger's head!

This tiger hunt is many times more powerful than the last one.

Even eagle eyes can no longer be taken lightly.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.

Overall, Hawkeye still has the upper hand.

because,

In terms of both combat experience and swordsmanship, Hawkeye is far superior to Zoro.

Zoro primarily relies on the brute strength, speed, and reflexes granted to him by the Dragon-level monster cells to engage in direct combat with Hawkeye.

In terms of understanding swordsmanship, Zoro hasn't actually made much progress.

boom!

After the two unleashed another powerful attack, the ground collapsed.

Zoro was panting heavily, and Johnny and Joseph's swords shattered.

Hawkeye was also slightly out of breath.

"As expected of the world's strongest, I can't beat you even if I turn into a monster."

Zoro took a deep breath, removed the Wado Ichimonji from his mouth, and put it into its sheath.

"Let's decide the outcome with this final move; it's a technique I've just mastered."

Expectation gleamed in Hawkeye's sharp eyes.

"Then let me see for myself, kid!"

Zoro closed his eyes.

The instant he opened his eyes, a chilling sword light flashed, making it almost impossible to see when he drew his sword.

"So fast!"

Hawkeye was shocked; he actually felt a strong sense of threat, something he rarely experienced!

bang bang!

The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword.

Aside from Luo Xing and Yamato, no one knows how Zoro and Mihawk clashed using this technique.

All that is known is that Zoro suddenly appeared behind Mihawk, having moved from in front of him.

The half-drawn-out Wado Ichimonji had a trace of blood on it.

Hawkeye glanced at the small wound on his abdomen, looked at Zoro, and asked:

"What's the name of this move?"

"Ittoryu·Iai·Death·Lion Song!"

As Zoro's voice faded, a large amount of blood suddenly splattered from his back.

However, given the formidable physique enhanced by the Dragon-level monster cells, such an injury is not considered too severe.

Zoro smiled wryly:

"I lost again. I actually tasted defeat twice on the same day."

Hawkeye was speechless for a moment.

Roronoa, you're just a greenhorn who's only been at sea for a short time. You don't even know what Haki is, yet you've already managed to injure me. Aren't you satisfied?

Although Hawkeye has never used Haki, Zoro was able to injure him, which is enough to prove how terrifyingly Zoro's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

Also.

From Zoro's Iai Slash just now, Hawkeye also sensed a domineering aura, like a prelude to the awakening of Conqueror's Haki.

It was this domineering force that caught Hawkeye off guard, leaving him with a wound from Zoro's attack.

Hawkeye is almost certain that, given time, Zoro will master Haki and hone his swordsmanship skills to a higher level.

Surpassing him is not an impossible thing.

Hawkeye sheathed his black sword, Yoru, and said to Zoro:

"I'll be waiting for you from where I'm at the top."

Then, he looked at Luo Xing.

"Your inventions are getting more and more terrifying. Can you tell me what your ambitions are?"

Luo Xing raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly:

"What ambitions could an inventor like me have? I just want to change the world through technology."

Change the world?

That would mean overthrowing the world government.
