I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

In the mysterious underground palace, the faint candlelight flickered, like the loneliest star in the night sky, barely dispelling the gloom and darkness around it. After Zoro finished chanting, he slowly opened his eyes, with golden light shining in his eyes. Listening to the continuous wailing in the small dark room for several hours, his thoughts surged like a tide.

A few hours ago, he successfully stopped Magellan's pursuit and knocked him into a pool of boiling blood. Then, dragging his seriously injured body, he caught up with Xiao Feng and Luffy and simply bandaged his wounds.

Afterwards, Zoro braved the freezing cold and protected them throughout the fifth layer of the Frigid Hell. Zoro then used his Conqueror's Haki to stun the wolves in the snowy valley. Perhaps thanks to Zoro's presence, Luffy, though only poisoned in his hands, was relieved to be unconscious. Finally, with Zoro's supreme observation Haki, the three finally located Lightning, the Revolutionary Army, who was out on patrol.

After Zoro explained his purpose, with the help of Lightning, the three of them successfully met Ivankov. Xiao Feng was not seriously injured like in the original plot, so he was extremely excited when he saw his idol, and then knelt down and asked him to heal Luffy.

Although Zoro was seriously injured, he was not unconscious. After ruthlessly rejecting the system prompt in his mind, he weakly sold out Luffy's background.

Ivankov was shocked to hear that Luffy was Dragon's son. Zoro sold Garp out to further prove his claim. As Dragon's companion, Ivankov quickly agreed to treat Luffy's injuries. Luffy was still tied up in a small dark room and treated with "healing hormones." Luffy's poison resistance was about to reach its maximum.

At the same time, Zoro's wounds were effectively treated, but during this period, he heard bad news. Ivankov and others saw everything he and Luffy did after they broke in on the surveillance camera, and they also knew that several people had broken in to rescue Ace. So, he told Zoro that Ace had been taken away in advance by Vice Admiral Mole and the Seven Warlords of the Sea Hancock.

This surprised Zoro. He had originally thought that Luffy's recovery speed should be much faster than the original plot, and perhaps he could avoid the trip to the top and rescue Ace here. However, he never expected that Ace was taken away early. Perhaps it was the butterfly effect caused by his intrusion.

In this case, the trip to the top is inevitable, and he can only hope to get a warship to go to Marineford. So he sat cross-legged in front of Luffy's small dark room and began to chant scriptures to purify the evil spirit. Only by mastering the Nine Swords Style can he ensure his survival at the top.

Shiryu's demon sword is indeed extraordinary, more ferocious than the Third Generation Kitetsu. I don't know if it's because of the sword itself, or because Shiryu has killed too many people, but after being cut by it, the demon energy is like a maggot attached to the bone. Fortunately, Zoro himself is also the holder of the demon sword, and the demon energy attached to the wound was quickly absorbed, but it also caused the demon energy in his body to suddenly increase.

Therefore, Zoro could only chant sutras first, purifying as much as he could, and if that didn't work, he would use his Conqueror's Haki to dispel the excess evil spirits. However, this chanting was different from usual. Perhaps it was Luffy's wailing, or perhaps it was the perpetual atmosphere of pain and suffering that permeated Impel Prison, but he quickly entered a state of tranquility.

Luffy's wails gradually turned into the screams of tortured demons. Before his eyes, he saw a pool of blood. He and a group of figures beside him were naked, their hands bound, being pushed into the pool by the ferocious Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons. He felt like a drowning man, struggling painfully in the sticky blood. The pool of blood was suddenly scalding hot, then icy cold, causing him unbearable pain...

It was unknown how long it took before his soul returned to his body. Just like when he comprehended the Nine Swords Style, there was a golden light in his mind, and a figure with three heads and six arms was floating in the air, performing mysterious sword techniques. After he comprehended everything, the figure disappeared, the golden light gradually faded, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

This time, he was injured by Xiliu and learned a Nine-Sword Sword Technique, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Just as Zoro was sorting out his thoughts, he heard many footsteps in the dark passage. He looked up and saw that it was Xiao Feng and Ivankov and his group. They came to check on Luffy.

At this moment, the screams in the small dark room also stopped abruptly.

Ivankov was somewhat helpless, as if he had already felt that Luffy had reached the end. Just as a trace of guilt towards his companions appeared on his face, a strong heartbeat suddenly rang out from the small dark room, followed by a roar that had been brewing for a long time, as if it came from the underworld: "Meat!!"

Hearing the sound, Zoro grinned. Although Luffy had suffered torture for several hours, he finally survived. Ivankov's hormone fruit was indeed something.

"Feng boy, miracles only come to those who never give up! This is a miracle!" Ivankov's sadness turned into joy, and he smiled brightly: "Send all the food over here!"

"I'll go help you. It's best to carry more." Zoro slowly stood up, holding the three swords. "This guy's appetite is far beyond your imagination."

Right after that, the food blogger Luffy came online, and a group of people kept carrying food into the small dark room, while plates and meat bones were constantly thrown out of the small dark room.

People in the Underground Transvestite Paradise liked, commented, and followed the post, saying they had never seen such a large appetite. It almost ate up a week's worth of food for so many people in the New Human Paradise.

Even Ivankov couldn't help but admire: "As expected of his son, he has such a strong vitality."

The meal lasted for thirty minutes, and then Luffy, with an old face, haggard limbs, but a big belly and a round waist, slowly walked out of the small dark room.

Just when everyone was surprised at what came out, Luffy clenched his fists and stomped his feet on the ground. His dry limbs instantly swelled up and became full of vitality. His face became smooth and his fat belly turned into eight abdominal muscles in the blink of an eye. He raised his hands and said, "I'm alive!!"

Seeing this, Zoro silently shook his head. This life return is simply a magical weight loss skill, but Luffy's cheat is too obvious! He also has life return in his system, but it is not unlocked because it is a fusion skill of the Navy's six styles. The prerequisite for unlocking it is to learn all six styles. I don't know how Luffy learned it inexplicably...
