I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Atop a tree island dotted with colorful bubbles, a swordsman's figure quietly moved overhead. As he sped, the bubbles on the tree island were whipped up by a gentle breeze, dancing in the air until they left the island's confines, where they burst with a crisp, crisp sound.

Zoro used Moon Steps and followed the two burly men carrying sacks all the way to the outside of the auction. After saying goodbye to Bonnie near the restaurant, he used his top-level observation Haki to cover the entire island and discovered that Kimi had been kidnapped.

So, he kept chasing after her. According to his research on the amount of love value he gained from gaining gratitude from his girlfriend, it would be higher at the critical moment.

Therefore, he did not plan to rescue Kami outside the auction house, but wait until Kami was about to be put on the collar and fell into despair, and then suddenly take action. So he concealed his breath, sneaked into the cell of the auction house, hid in the beam and planned to wait and see what would happen.

However, this action of his has already attracted the attention of a white-haired prisoner: "Heh... Today is interesting."

At this moment, three men in strange costumes walked into the cell with a mermaid in their arms...

"Let go! It hurts! I told you to let go... It's so annoying!" Kimi struggled with his hands that were tightly grasped and his fish tail that was held up by someone.

"Don't move! I can't even figure out the neck size." One of the men yelled.

The other man took out a collar and gradually approached Kemi. When Kemi saw the collar, his face turned extremely terrified and he began to struggle frantically: "No, Xiaoba... Save me."

It's now!

Zoro jumped down from the beam, hit one of them with a hammer, and then caught Kimi who was about to fall to the ground.

"Ah, Mr. Zoro! Why are you here?" Kami opened his eyes and saw the person coming.

"Who are you! Come, arrest him..." At this time, a long-haired man wearing a yellow tall hat and a purple suit walked into the cell, and then two strong men rushed towards Zoro from behind him.

Zoro opened his eyes and glared at them, and the three bastards fainted on the spot. Then he grinned at Kemi and said, "I happened to be strolling here and saw you being caught by them, so I followed you in."

"Huh... I'm saved. You saved my life. Thank you..." Kami let out a long sigh, narrowed his crescent eyes, and smiled sweetly.

Ding! Rescue girlfriend No. 19 when she's in danger and gain +1000 Love Points.

Hearing the system prompt sound, Zoro was very relieved. Then he stood up, searched the room for the key to the collar, opened all the doors, and handed the key to Kemi: "You try the key and open everyone's collars. Your skirt is gone, and you can't hide your tail. You must escape from here in the chaos."

Then a sigh came from the cell: "Ah... There's no need to go to so much trouble. I was originally thinking of seeing how much I could sell it for and blackmailing the buyer at the same time. Brother, you're really reckless."

Hearing the voice, I looked over and saw an old man with long curly hair, silver hair and beard, wearing glasses, with a scar on his right eye, and looking very energetic.

Zoro naturally recognized this outfit. This was the big boss, Pluto Rayleigh!

As he spoke, Rayleigh grabbed the collar around his neck. Kimi quickly stopped him: "No, uncle!"

However, before Kimi could finish his words, the collar began to tick like a countdown. Rayleigh quickly pinched it, took off the collar, and threw it away.

boom!

As the smoke cleared, Rayleigh stood there unharmed, smiling: "The Armament Haki has been refined to its extreme, and it can destroy the collar from the inside."

Zoro nodded. He knew it was Liuying. "Hey, I didn't expect to meet a big shot like you here, Pluto Rayleigh!"

"Hey, here they all call me the coating worker - Lao Lei, don't call me by my name casually." After saying that, Rayleigh turned and walked out of the cell.

"Lao Lei, the coating craftsman, is really good." Zoro threw the key to the burly man next to Rayleigh, then chased after him with Camie, trying to strike up a conversation: "Lao Lei, wait... our ship also needs coating, could you please help me later?"

Reilly was so angry. He hadn't seen such an ungrateful player for a long time. He was just being polite, but this guy actually took it seriously.

"Your ship? If I remember correctly, you should be from the Straw Hat Pirates, Roronoa Zoro."

"Yeah, that's right."

"Has Monkey D. Luffy come to the island too?" Rayleigh smiled meaningfully. "I've wanted to meet him for a long time."

"That's great." Zoro closed his eyes and activated his Observation Haki, covering the entire island and searching for Luffy and the others. "They're still looking for Camie in the slave trading area, but they're already moving towards this side."

Kimi felt guilty: "I'm sorry for making everyone worry."

Zoro patted her shoulder gently to show his comfort: "It's okay, we didn't expect this island to be so dangerous for mermaids, otherwise we wouldn't have let you and Xiaoba accompany us to the island."

"Xiao Ba?" Rayleigh heard an acquaintance: "So you and Xiao Ba are friends."

Then he looked at Zoro with a strange expression: "Your observation Haki can actually recognize people far away in the sales area?"

"Well... I can hear every sound on this island if I want."

"Oh... the same observation Haki as Roger." Rayleigh looked nostalgic.

Hmm? This seems like a chance to improve my favorability. If I do well, this boss will take me with him to practice, and then my Domineering Haki will increase rapidly.

"The Pirate King - Roger? Can he also hear the sounds of everything?" Zoro pretended to be shocked.

"Well, yes..." Rayleigh looked at Zoro carefully: "Possessing Conqueror Haki and very advanced Observation Haki, a swordsman like you is willing to follow Straw Hat Luffy. I am even more interested in him."

Zoro grinned, "My goal is to be the world's number one swordsman. I'm not interested in anything else."

"Hey... No. 1 in the world? You have quite the ambition." Rayleigh exclaimed.

While they were talking, the three of them had already walked to the back door of the auction. Kimi, who was not wearing a skirt, had a fish tail exposed, which instantly attracted the attention of the people around her. Kimi seemed a little at a loss.

So Zoro grabbed her arm and took a bold step forward with her: "Don't worry, with Lao Lei here, no one dares to catch you."

"Hahaha..." Rayleigh laughed heartily, picked up the wine flask, and took a sip. "Boy, don't lift my old bones so high. Go and call Monkey D. Luffy over. You let all the slaves go, and there will be a riot soon. Then the navy will come back. I still want to stay on this small island and enjoy my old age."

Zoro smiled slightly. Even if the navy came, they wouldn't dare to fight with you rashly. However, he still activated the consciousness transmission. He didn't know about others, but Luffy should be able to hear it because this guy can also hear the sounds of all things: "Luffy! I have rescued Camie. Come to the auction in Area 1 to find us."

Luffy and his group were far away in the sales area, still looking for Camie. Suddenly, Luffy was stunned and stopped.

"Luffy? What's wrong?" Chopper was confused.

Luffy stood there muttering to himself, "Zoro?"

"what?"

"Let's go! Notify Sanji and the others to go to the auction in Area 1!"

Chopper didn't understand what was going on, so he found a booth and called Sanji's Den Den Mushi.
