I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

In front of the port of Marinford, as the battle continued, the situation on the battlefield began to become stalemate. The deafening sound of artillery fire, shouts of killing, and wailing were endless.

There was something different in a corner of the battlefield. Jinbe was beating up Moriah while Luffy, who knew Zoro's character well, left him and rushed to the port alone. Zoro was not worried about Luffy, except for the young man Akainu. The further Luffy went in, the safer he would be. Akainu was still on the platform recuperating, waiting for an opportunity to have a showdown with Whitebeard.

So Zoro started chatting her up, but while he was chatting her up, a pair of eyes were silently watching this place...

"Mr. Smoker!" The heroic Tashigi's expression changed drastically when he saw Smoker lying on the ground.

"Don't worry, don't worry. For your sake, he just fainted." Zoro bit the Wado Ichimonji and smiled slightly, trying to make himself appear more friendly.

"Damn it! What did you do to Mr. Smoker!?" Tashigi was furious and raised Shigure's sword to slash at Zoro.

Zoro simply held up his sword with both hands and easily blocked Shigure's attack, then grinned: "Hey, remember our agreement in Alabasta? If you lose this time..."

"Shut up!" Dashiqi blushed slightly. "Who made a promise with you?! This is all your own wishful thinking!"

"Huh? You actually regretted it..." Zoro activated his top-level observation Haki to attack you, saying with deep sorrow: "As a swordsman, if you can't stick to your beliefs, how can you become stronger?"

The two of them argued on the battlefield, oblivious to the people around them. Even the sound of artillery fire around them could not suppress Tashigi's cries.

"What does this have to do with becoming stronger?! I didn't agree with you on anything!"

While scolding Zoro, Tashigi swung Shigure in her hand with all her strength and attacked Zoro, venting some strange emotions rising in her heart.

Huh? This girl has quite the willpower, she actually managed to withstand the ultimate level of observation Haki?

However, the gap between Tashigi's strength and Zoro's is now an insurmountable chasm, and Zoro easily blocked Tashigi's full-strength attack.

Bang!

With a slight sound, Shigure in Tashigi's hand was picked up and flew away.

Facing Zoro's blade, she glared stubbornly: "Why, why don't you cut it down? Why is it always like this!?"

Zoro felt helpless towards this masochist. What was he trying so hard to be so self-disciplined for? Wasn't it just to avoid getting stabbed a few times? This guy, on the other hand, insisted on getting stabbed, and if he didn't cut her, it meant he looked down on her.

At this moment, he just wanted to ask one question, Sister Qi, which zone is your Legend in?

"Being strong is a burden." Zoro's face remained calm as he activated his observation Haki once again, leaving Tashigi with only his back. He feigned mastery while shifting the subject, "Foolish female marine, you dare not fulfil your promise to me. Are you afraid of another defeat? If so, how can you take back the Wado Ichimonji from me?!"

With a temper like that, Tashigi was clearly vulnerable to this provocation. She glared at his back fiercely, just like that rainy night in Rogue Town. After hearing Zoro's words, her eyes became firm: "If we can survive this war, I won't lose again when we meet next time!"

"Oh? What if we lose again?" Zoro stopped.

"Then it's as you wish..."

"A word is settled!"

Ding! Inspired by you, Goddess No. 5, Dashigi, has worked hard to improve herself, rewarding you with +500 Love Points.

OK! The next time we meet should be on Ice and Fire Island in two years. Stupid No. 5, no matter how hard you try, you can't beat the cheaters. Even if you study hard for ten years, you can't beat three generations of businessmen.

Just as Zoro was happily chasing Luffy, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, which made his hair stand on end.

"shave!"

The moment Zoro disappeared, the solid ice under his feet suddenly pierced out countless ice blades, and then those ice blades gathered together and turned into a human figure.

Damn! Foolish guardian, you want to dance too?

"Speaking of... promises, Roronoa! Do you remember the promise we made in Water City?"

"Shut up!" Zoro's delicate body trembled: "Who made a promise with you! This is all your own wishful thinking!"

"Huh? Are you thinking of going back on your word?" Aokiji's eyes were filled with amusement. "As a swordsman, if you can't stick to your beliefs, how can you become stronger?"

In the distance, Tashigi heard a familiar conversation and stared blankly at the two men facing each other. Admiral Aokiji...actually...

I didn't expect you to be this kind of Aokiji. Where's your composure? Does being a general mean you can do whatever you want?

You old bastard! You're eavesdropping on me again! Okay, okay, all of you, you think I'm Hello Kitty, right?

"Can't I get stronger?" Zoro complained crazily in his heart. Even though the other party was an admiral, for some reason, he couldn't control his temper when facing Aokiji: "Then let me show you! Two-handed strength, three-sword style, beautiful demon..."

As he spoke, his aura suddenly exploded, the muscles in his arms expanded rapidly, and the shadow of a fierce ghost appeared behind him. The people around him seemed to be hallucinating. They saw the three black knives in Zoro's hands and in his mouth begin to twist, and red lightning caused the ice around him to begin to shatter.

On the other side, Aokiji frowned upon seeing this: "You've mastered the Armament Haki attachment so quickly. Your growth is truly beyond my expectations."

After saying that, he raised his pitch-black ice fist, which also burst out with black lightning.

Then, Sauron's figure disappeared in an instant, and only a voice like that from the Netherworld was heard:

"Sleepless Night·Ghost Killing!"

Aokiji took a small step back with his right foot and threw a simple, powerful punch.

"boom!"

At the moment when the black fist collided with the three black knives, the sky and the earth changed color in an instant, two lightning bolts intertwined together, and in an instant an invisible force swept across the surrounding battlefield. Some navy officers and weaker pirate minions fainted one after another.

Even Tashigi, a colonel, was a little unsteady on her feet. Of course, this was all due to the influence of the Conqueror's Haki released by Zoro. Aokiji did not release the Conqueror's Haki of the strength of an admiral.

You have to know that on this battlefield, the navy and pirates are already entangled in fighting each other, and it is difficult to release the domineering color in a targeted manner. The navy far exceeds the pirates in terms of quantity, but is slightly inferior in quality.

If the admirals indiscriminately release the Conqueror's Haki, the overwhelming advantage in military strength will be gone. Whitebeard also has this consideration. After all, the purpose of coming here is to rescue Ace. If he releases the Conqueror's Haki, countless sons will fall into a coma. In this case, even if Ace is rescued, he will become very passive when retreating.

As a result, both sides had a tacit understanding and neither side used the Conqueror's Haki.

And now, someone on the field did not abide by the ethics of martial arts, causing such a shocking scene, which naturally attracted the attention of many strong people.

Dashigi, who had been the first to be struck, was already losing her balance and slumped to the ground, trembling. "Has he become this strong? What on earth has he been through in the past few months?"

"He possesses the qualities of a king, and will surely be a nuisance in the future. It's a good time to eliminate him." Zhan Guo frowned and picked up the Den Den Mushi: "Zhan Taomaru, dispatch the Pacifism and kill Roronoa Zoro!"

Akainu on the platform sneered: "No matter how talented you are, if you choose the wrong path, you don't deserve sympathy. You are so stupid that you didn't even run away without hesitation when facing the admiral of the navy."

Kizaru, who was paddling around on the field, said: "Haoshoku, so scary..."

Doflamingo, with a wicked look on his face, leaped towards the two of them and said, "This is so entertaining!"

Hawkeye, who had slightly tried to block Luffy, turned his head and looked over, a little stunned: "In just a few months... has it come to this?"

Empress Hancock, who was in the process of indiscriminately attacking, frowned, paused, and rushed towards him: "This bastard! He can't even keep quiet in this situation!"

At this moment, Zoro had already put all his cards on the table except for the Nine Swords Style, and he was completely unable to care about the movements of others. However, facing Aokiji's overwhelming power, Zoro could only hold on for a few seconds before he was blown away by the huge force like a tidal wave.

He even surpassed Luffy who was breaking through the level and was the first to hit the stone wall of the port. The violent impact made his whole body numb, and smoke and dust rose up for a while.

"Zoro!" Luffy shouted anxiously and ran towards him.

If Zoro heard the Queen's reprimand, he would definitely cry out in injustice. Who knows what's wrong with them today.

Whitebeard on the Moby Dick laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha, what an unexpected little guy. It would be a pity if he died here, Joz."

"Understood, Dad!"
