I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

On the fighting stage, Luffy's figure was like an unbridled gust of wind, galloping across the empty space. Each of his punches, though with little effect, was filled with an indomitable fighting spirit.

His opponents were two half-snake, half-human monsters. Their twisted bodies looked extremely strange, and their armed snake tails were dancing in the air. Every swing was accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind, which made Luffy suffer a lot.

The battle was extremely fierce. Luffy's fists poured down like a rainstorm, while the two monsters used their observation Haki to nimbly dodge Luffy's attacks and at the same time launched a fierce counterattack with their sharp snake fangs.

For a moment, the arena was filled with the whistling sound of wind and the dull sound of collisions.

On the other side, the confrontation between Zoro and Hancock seemed unusually calm. One of them held two swords, biting the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, staring at his opponent intently, trying to find a flaw, while the other stood with his hands folded, frowning slightly.

The audience stands below the field were already filled with screams:

"Snake Princess, are you going to take action yourself?!"

"This man is dead!"

"I'm so lucky to have seen the heroic figure of Lady Snake! Today!"

"To be able to master Conqueror's Haki to such an extent at such a young age, you are indeed very talented. However, this world does not need so many kings!" Hancock's eyes flashed with a fierceness, and she appeared in front of Zoro in an instant, kicking Zoro's head with a high whip kick: "Fragrant Kick!"

However, Zoro's strongest Haki right now was not Conqueror's Haki, but Observation Haki. He dodged the kick by tilting his head, and the muscles in his hands bulged exaggeratedly, and he thrust his two swords in front of him: "Three Swords Style: Two Strong Slashes!"

Hancock flipped in the air, and with her other foot covered in the pitch-black Armament Haki, she kicked Zoro's double swords with great force. Zoro was knocked back several steps by the powerful Armament Haki, and Hancock was also bounced back several meters by the brute force.

After she landed, she touched her lips with her finger, transforming into a giant pink heart, and shot an arrow from her bow: "Captive Arrow!"

Just as Zoro found his footing, he saw countless arrows coming towards him. He raised his two swords, and with a domineering look on his face, he slashed at the arrows with three mid-air slashes of dark red lightning: "Three Swords Style: One Hundred and Eight Troubled Phoenix."

Then, he kicked the ground hard, and with a dark red lightning, he rushed out and launched a spiral floating slash: "Three Swords Style·Leopard·Qin·Jade!"

Hancock was not willing to be outdone. She also released her domineering Haki, kicked back to block the floating slash, and then supported herself on the ground with her hands, spinning her legs in the air and kicking sideways to block Zoro's final blow with his reverse-gripped double swords.

As the two fought back and forth for several rounds, the two domineering auras collided violently in the air. For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged. Both of them released the strong identification skills without reservation. As a result, the audience in the audience were stunned, and those strong men who were not stunned were also in an uproar.

"Heroic Haki!! That man actually possesses the king's domineering aura that only one person among millions of people possesses!!"

Back on the field, Zoro was already out of breath. Hancock's Armament Haki was more than one level higher than his, and her strength was not much weaker than his when she activated the Second Gorikiro. He felt pressure with every collision. If the stalemate continued, he might not be able to hold the sword steadily.

Hancock's face gradually became solemn. After several attacks, although she found out that Zoro's Armament Haki was not strong, she also realized that the young man in front of her had a very high level of Observation Haki. He had barely dodged several of her fatal attacks, and his blade had even cut off several strands of her hair. If this continued, she would probably suffer a loss.

The two people had surprisingly consistent ideas. At this time, in addition to the dark red lightning on the field, a cold air overwhelmed the heat brought by the scorching sun, and Zoro transformed into a three-headed, six-armed figure.

Hancock also jumped high and kicked Zoro hard.

"Ghost Energy·Nine Swordsman Style·Asura·Demon Nine Flashes!"

"Big fragrant feet!"

Zoro's nine swords covered with Armament Haki and demonic energy collided with Hancock's feet covered with Armament Haki, causing a huge wave of air. A huge roar resounded throughout the arena. Zoro was knocked back to the edge of the arena, and Hancock was bounced high up and fell to the connection between the tower and the arena.

At this time, Zoro's internal organs were in pain, his three-headed and six-armed form had disappeared without a trace, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He inserted a knife into the ground and forced himself to stand up.

Hancock wasn't feeling well either. Her entire leg started to feel numb, and she had to rely on one foot to support herself.

"Is that man a monster?"

"As expected of Lady Snake, you are so powerful."

"Zoro!!" Luffy, who was at a disadvantage in the battle with the two sisters, saw that Zoro was injured and shouted loudly. In an instant, the sisters' attack on his tail suddenly stopped, and an invisible momentum suddenly rolled up a gust of wind that swept across the entire arena.

The two sisters were shocked, and the crowd outside was boiling again: "Another... Domineering color! Who are these two men?"

Even Hancock was moved: "What the hell is going on!?"

After feeling this momentum, Zoro wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied to Luffy with a grin: "It's okay! She's not feeling well either!"

Luffy finally leaned forward and got serious: "Now it's my turn to get serious!"

So, he activated the second gear mode, his whole body was covered in smoke, and he began to counterattack. Although the two women had the ability to observe, their reactions could not keep up with Luffy's speed.

Although he has mastered the advanced Haki with Armament Haki, his strength is far weaker than Luffy in Gear 2, and he is beaten violently by Luffy with brute force.

Zoro was wary of Hancock. If she attacked, he would stop her even if he had to endure the pain. Hancock thought the same thing. She was also wary of Zoro's attack. After all, one of her legs was a little numb. If Zoro attacked again, she would suffer. So she frowned and urged her two sisters: "Jinzhan! Gongdeng! What are you doing..."

"Yes...I'm sorry, sister. We will take care of him immediately."

At Hancock's urging, Boa Marigold, also known as Marigold in Hancock's mouth, went all out, her whole body ablaze with flames: "Fire Serpent!"

Boya Sandersonia's green hair was braided into eight green snakes.

Zoro couldn't help but complain again, bah, even dogs won't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit... But this time, it's a sure thing!

The two girls attacked Luffy with their special moves. Luffy bounced back and used a set of JET machine guns to break up the attacks of the two girls. Finally, he tied their tails with lightning speed.

The flames on Marigod's head ignited Sandasonia's green hair. Sandasonia was burned by the flames and almost fell into the deep ditch full of sharp knives between the audience seats and the arena.

Fortunately, she was tall and held onto the stands with her hands, thus saving her life. However, the clothes on her back had been burned, and Luffy lay on her back, blocking her back.

Zoro was helpless. It was all Hancock's fault. He had given away a lot of points in this open-book test. Forget it... just watch the show.

"Damn man..."

"Don't move!" Luffy interrupted her: "Even though you want to kill us, I don't want to kill you."

"Don't be so arrogant, Jinzhan! Kill this man now!"

But Marigold remained indifferent.

"What are you dawdling about? Jinzhan!"

"No, sister... this man... is protecting us now..."

The audience was also excited: "Look, Lady Gongdenghua's clothes have burned off, revealing her back! If it weren't for this man, the Eye of Gorgon would have been exposed!"

"Why!?"

"Wouldn't you rather die than be seen? So don't move!"

At this moment, Hancock also hurriedly ordered: "The competition is over! Everyone, leave the venue quickly before the Eye of Gorgon is exposed!"

The audience fled in all directions: "Get out of the arena quickly, or you will be petrified!!"

"I'm the one you just fought with...why are you protecting me?" Sandasonia looked lonely.

"What you don't want others to see is different from our fight!" Luffy also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey." Sauron grinned. If Mr. Lu had a high EQ, he could fool you.

Upon hearing this, Hancock covered her eyes and quietly shed a tear.
