I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Above the raging sea of ​​hell stood a wide stone bridge. The two swordsmen were like lightning, crossing each other. Every clash was accompanied by the sound of metal clashing and echoed with endless heat.

Their figures appeared and disappeared in the leaping flames, as if it was a careful arrangement under the wheel of fate. The final battle that might only take place two years later suddenly came at this moment.

In an instant, four swords imbued with armed color domineering, containing extremely strong power, suddenly collided with each other. The sweat oozing from the foreheads of both sides quickly evaporated in the hot air, leaving a faint fishy and salty smell.

"Do you still have the mind to care about others?" The tall Xiliu had a vicious look in his eyes.

The situation on Luffy's side was not optimistic, which kept Zoro distracted. Facing Magellan who was covered in poison, although Zoro had assisted him and activated the Conqueror's Haki to disperse the poisonous fog.

But Luffy could only dodge and had no power to fight back. He was almost forced into the hot blood by the venom sprayed by Magellan several times.

Obviously, Luffy can't hold it back any longer. Judging from his posture, he is probably going to use second gear to fight hard.

Zoro was also helpless. He originally wanted to activate the Nine Swords Style to kill Shiryu in one second, but as soon as he mobilized his demonic energy, he immediately found something wrong. From the first floor to here, the demonic energy increased too quickly, so he couldn't activate the Nine Swords Style.

So, after fighting for a few rounds, he also realized Xilu's strength. He possessed high-level armament Haki and high-level observation Haki. Although his observation Haki was not as good as his, his strength was higher than his. Moreover, this guy seemed to be getting crazier and crazier as the fight went on. Each sword move was faster than the last, and the force transmitted from the sword was getting stronger and stronger.

If it takes too long, it will be bad!

"Three Swords Style·Two Gorikiro·Two Gorikiro Slash!"

Zoro didn't dare to delay any longer. The muscles in his arms expanded rapidly and pushed Shiryu away. The red lightning formed by the domineering aura cracked the surrounding bricks. This momentum made Shiryu pause in his movements.

In this fleeting moment, a ghost appeared behind Zoro: "Three Swords Style·Beautiful Demon·Sleepless Night·Demon Slash!"

He turned into a black light wrapped in dark red lightning and rushed towards Xiliu.

Shiryu's eyes turned blood red, and the thunderstorm in his hand emitted a red light, as if turning the world into a sea of ​​blood. Shiryu's whole body turned into red light and rushed towards Zoro.

The two men passed each other with their backs to each other. Zoro felt a chill in his abdomen at first, and then hot blood flowed out. Shiryu had three streams of blood spurting out of his chest, and he fell to one knee on the ground.

The bloodthirsty aura that Shiryu had just erupted from was something Zoro was very familiar with. He slowly removed the Wado Ichimonji from his mouth and opened his bloody mouth: "A demon sword?"

Xiliu was seriously injured, but still had a wicked smile on his face: "It's the same for you, the feeling of being stabbed by the demon sword is not pleasant, it's been a long time since I felt this way..."

After saying that, he fell down heavily.

Zoro was hesitating whether to go up and finish him off. With that blow just now, Shiryu should not have died. This guy would definitely be a big trouble in the future. But as they were both owners of the demon sword, these two simple sentences made him feel a sense of mutual understanding.

"Whoaaah!"

At this time, a scream came from Luffy's side. Zoro looked over hurriedly and saw Luffy with smoke all over his body, his hands covered with purple venom, and his face in pain.

Across from Luffy, Magellan, whose body was covered in a sticky purple liquid, also clutched his stomach and knelt on one knee. "You actually want me to kneel down... You're really desperate and vicious. But - the poison on your hands is enough to paralyze you."

Luffy endured the pain and said, "Here's a hand... for you! A JET pistol!"

"No! Luffy!"

Zoro resolutely gave up the chance to finish him off, endured the knife wound in his abdomen, and rushed towards him.

Luffy's speed bonus in gear 2 is exaggerated, almost the same as Zoro's current speed, and he hit Magellan in the chest in an instant.

"Poisonous pufferfish!!" Magellan was not willing to be outdone and spit out several poisonous balls at Luffy.

"Three Swords Style: One Hundred Eight Trouble Phoenix!" Zoro stood in front of Luffy and chopped Magellan's poison ball into pieces with three slashes.

In the blink of an eye, several poisonous dragons emerged from Magellan's body and pounced on the two of them.

"shave!"

Zoro immediately grabbed Luffy and dodged far away, avoiding the poisonous dragon's attack.

"Zoro..." Luffy's recklessness faded, and he looked very weak: "You win."

"Well... Luffy, don't attack! His ability is too strong for you."

Although Luffy was unwilling, he didn't force himself. After all, he still had to rescue Ace: "Then I'll leave it to you..."

At this moment, Zoro heard Mr. 2 crying in the corner with his observation Haki: "It's useless, I've been infected with his poison... Little Straw Hat... There's no hope..."

Zoro yelled, "Hey! Xiao Feng, take Luffy to find Ivankov! He can help Luffy detoxify!"

"Yes! If it's that person, he can definitely create a miracle!" Mr. 2 suddenly woke up and ran towards Luffy.

"You can actually defeat Shiryu, what a vicious pirate!? However, it seems that you are also seriously injured. Do you dare to fight me with such a body?" Magellan's face was gloomy.

Zoro grinned, tied his turban, and pointed his knife at Magellan: "This guy is my captain! How can I let you take his life here?"

"Can you do it?" As he spoke, purple sticky venom continued to flow out of Magellan's body, and its color gradually turned into blood red, gradually gathering to form a skeleton-shaped giant.

"Zoro...be careful..." Luffy, who was carried by Xiao Feng, looked worried.

"Don't worry, Xiao Feng, rush over with him, I will cover you!"

Mr.2's eyes were filled with tears, and with determination, he made strange noises and launched a charge.

At this time, countless red venoms from Magellan's body rushed towards them from the ground. Zoro flew out and slashed the bridge with a blow, forming a huge crack.

The red venom flowed down the crack and did not spread to Xiao Feng.

Magellan roared, and venom gushed out towards the three people like a huge wave. Red lightning burst out from Zoro's body, causing the venom to stay in the air for a short moment, and Xiao Feng also rushed out for a distance.

However, Zoro did not stop. He turned his body at high speed: "Three Swords Style: Tornado!"

The rapidly rotating blade energy formed a huge hurricane, blowing away the venom and splashing it all around. The stone bricks that were stained with the venom gradually turned red and spread as if infected, becoming eroded and fragile.

The wound on Zoro's abdomen also spurted out blood as it rotated violently.

Seeing that Xiao Feng had already rushed through the gate of the fourth floor with Luffy, he suppressed the pain and weakness, flew up, and slashed out two slashes with armed color domineering, one in front and one behind, towards the stone bridge under Magellan's feet.

With a loud crack, the stone bridge, carrying Magellan, fell into the boiling sea of ​​blood. Zoro took the opportunity to perform the Moon Step and chased after Xiao Feng...
