Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

In an instant, Zoro looked up and stared intently at his target, his three swords pointing upwards in a needle-like shape, and he thrust forward with lightning speed.

See this.

As Huang Hai dispersed the water curtain, the transparent ripples that spread out bounced off the backs of the three blades the instant they made contact with the thrusting blade, thus changing Huang Hai's falling direction.

Following the right side of the blade, Huang Hai descended quickly, his right hand striking Zoro's shoulder in the process.

In an instant.

Bang!

Accompanied by the burst of elasticity.

To Huang Hai's surprise, Zoro was instantly sent flying by his slap.

Boom!

It only stopped after it crashed hard into the wall, causing it to collapse.

Uh……

"What the hell?"

Looking at his long, slender right hand, Huang Hai couldn't help but show a look of disbelief.

He never expected that simply treating the other party as a "solid" object to strike would have such a significant impact.

Moreover, the force and effort required for the strikes were easier than he had anticipated.

The difficulty is incomparable to striking the air.

Is this the correct way to use the [Bounce-Bounce Fruit]?

After scratching his head, Huang Hai walked to the collapsed wall, coughed, and asked, "How are you? Are you alright, Zoro...?"

As he spoke, Huang Hai lightly patted the rising dust, sending it flying.

cough!

"You won this time..."

Lying paralyzed in the ruins, Zoro coughed up blood, a hint of helplessness appearing on his usually calm face.

"Are all Devil Fruit users as freakish as you, Captain?!"

Despite still having the strength to fight, the seemingly irresistible momentum of the opponent and the physical exhaustion from days of hunger forced him to reluctantly admit defeat.

As long as he can't find a way to counter his opponent's abilities, he can foresee that being knocked away will become the norm.

In that case, the battle would become meaningless.

The probability of becoming disabled or dying is also predetermined.

"That depends on the ability's characteristics..."

Upon hearing the other party call out the word "captain," Huang Hai couldn't help but chuckle, casually flicking away the broken stones from the other's body, and said with a smile, "And then there's the level of development of the ability by the user..."

"There are strong and weak ones, it mainly depends on the person. So? Interested? If you are, I'll help you find a powerful Devil Fruit sometime in the future..."

"However, becoming an ability user will leave you with a weakness: a fear of seawater, which means you'll become a landlubber..."

"..."

Hearing this, Zoro ignored the pain in his body, rubbed his stomach, and said, "Instead of talking nonsense, how about you treat this new crew member to something to eat?"

"If I wait any longer, I'll probably starve to death here... Besides, is it really appropriate for a pirate to stay here?"

As he spoke, Zoro pointed in the direction of the tower.

Ok?

Seeing this, Huang Hai looked on in confusion.

Berumeber and the others were sitting on the ground, looking at them with excitement.

Judging from their demeanor, it seems they watched for quite some time...

"Ugh! That's definitely not appropriate..."

.......

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Demon of the Sword!

……

Shields Town, Rika Restaurant.

"Haha, I'm so full."

Patting his slightly bulging belly, Zoro laughed heartily with a satisfied expression, "Nine days without food, that's definitely my limit!"

"..."

Beside him, Huang Hai glanced at the glutton, his mind still replaying the talent he had fused with after the battle with the other party.

[Talent Acquisition: Sword Demon x50]

[Sword Prodigy: Swordsmanship talent amplified 50 times the average person...]

This unique art style, so different from all his previous talents, truly astonished Huang Hai.

Especially at the moment of fusion, his mastery of swords and other weapons expanded beyond his original basic skill of slashing, encompassing countless insights and understandings.

When fighting Zoro, he can memorize all the moves Zoro used and recall them clearly at any time.

It seemed as if he could use the same sword and blade exactly as he did at that moment.

"So this is Zoro's talent, no wonder Mihawk has high hopes for him..."

Huang Hai gave Zoro a deep look, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

But now, the talent that rivals that of the future number one swordsman has already been absorbed and copied by himself.

Hey! Why are you laughing so weirdly?

Seeing that Huang Hai didn't reply but had a strange smile on his face, Zoro couldn't help but rub his arms and said speechlessly, "Is he thinking of something bad?"

What bad things could I possibly be thinking?

Coming to his senses, Huang Hai curled his lip and said, "As for you, you've been starving for nine days, yet you're still so eager to challenge me. I really don't know what you're thinking..."

"But anyway, since we've become partners, I'd still like to welcome you. Let me reintroduce myself. My original name was Monkey D. Luffy, but I've changed it to Hai Luffy. You can call me Hai, or you can call me Luffy..."

"A partner, you know..."

Hearing this, Zoro looked at Huang Hai seriously and nodded, saying, "Please take good care of me, Captain. My name is Roronoa Zoro, just call me Zoro..."

"Speaking of which, is this person also a member of a pirate crew?"

Zoro pointed at Coby, who was sitting quietly eating, with some confusion.

"No, Koby is a friend you knew before you."

With a smile, Huang Hai explained, "His dream is to be a naval officer, which is not our dream."

"I see..." Zoro gave the two of them a strange look, then nodded, no longer puzzled.

"Sorry, I got a free meal..."

Koby scratched the back of his head and chuckled helplessly, "I was originally planning to go directly to the naval base to register, but then this happened..."

"Hai! Didn't you say you were going to check things out? Turns out even Morgan was taken by you..."

"Plans can't keep up with changes..."

Huang Hai smiled and said, "By the way, how are the supplies on the ship? Is there enough Pele on board?"

"There is still a lot of money to be made."

At this point, Koby nodded hurriedly and said, "All the supplies have been arranged, even the clothes you sent have been placed in the captain's cabin, and..."

Listening to the other party's detailed preparations, Huang Hai couldn't help but show a hint of regret.

If the other person weren't still young and didn't dream of joining a pirate crew, I would really like to recruit them into a pirate group.

He has at least two years of experience in logistics and some navigation skills...

As for Zoro... it's already a miracle he doesn't get lost.

Think of this.

“Koby…”

Interrupting the report, Huang Hai asked with a smile, "Would you like to board my ship? Let's go on an adventure and see the new world together..."

"don't want!!!"

Before Huang Hai could finish speaking, Kebi quickly shook his head and forced a smile, saying, "Hai, you know! I hated these things when I was with Abida, and I still do now."

"Alright, I was just asking..."

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Huang Hai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I won't force you. I was just asking casually, so don't overthink it..."

"That's right!... Hai."

Somewhat unaccustomed to the sound, Zoro glanced at the sky and asked, "Where are we going next?"
