I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

In the beast park lurking on every side of danger, the air is filled with an extremely tense atmosphere, as if even time has frozen at this moment, waiting for the storm to erupt.

The giant creatures on the island either looked around in confusion or became restless due to the sudden powerful aura. Their originally leisurely pace became rapid and chaotic, and their huge bodies shuttled through the jungle, startling a flock of birds.

The two auras transformed into red lightning, colliding violently in the void, with a howling wind and flying dust. In an instant, the sky and the earth were dim and dark.

Enel, wearing the seastone, was shaken by the aftermath of the collision of the two auras, and felt a little unsteady on his feet, as if he were facing two emperors who ruled the world. The pressure from the superiors almost made him prostrate himself. "What a joke! I am a god! How can I be afraid of stupid mortals?"

He let out an unwilling roar and straightened his back stubbornly.

"Zoro could have achieved this step half a year ago..." Luffy was not very shocked.

"This kind of temptation is meaningless. Go ahead, Roronoa." Although Rayleigh kept smiling, his eyes were extremely sharp and his words were full of confidence.

Zoro grinned and raised his hands: "Then be careful, Three Swords Style: Thousand Eighty Troubled Phoenix!"

As his words fell, the three swords were instantly enveloped in a powerful domineering aura. Three huge streams of sword energy flew out like a phoenix, slashing towards Rayleigh with endless power.

Rayleigh simply smiled faintly, his figure flashing, and he easily dodged the sharp blade light as if teleporting. Then, his body transformed into a dazzling meteor, rushing towards Zoro at astonishing speed, the sword in his hand drawing a brilliant arc in the air, slashing straight at Zoro.

Seeing this, Zoro's eyes flashed with excitement, and his figure instantly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared in mid-air, the muscles in his arms bulging rapidly, and he swung the three swords in his hands at the same time: "Purgatory Demon Slash!"

In an instant, the two figures collided violently in mid-air. However, surprisingly, their weapons did not directly contact each other, but instead formed an invisible force between them. This force was so powerful that it seemed to tear the entire space apart.

The entire island shook violently at this moment. Countless small pieces of stone were affected by this force and, contrary to the laws of nature, slowly floated into the air.

"The knife... didn't make contact..." Luffy's eyes widened.

"Hey, has your Armament Haki reached this point?"

"Uncle Rayleigh, you haven't used your full strength yet!"

"Hahaha, I'm really old. I didn't expect that I would have to use all my strength to deal with a little guy like you."

After a brief exchange, the two separated and took about ten steps back.

"Be careful, Roronoa Zoro!"

"You too, Silverbaz Rayleigh!"

After the two of them finished speaking, red lightning began to wrap around Rayleigh's knife. On his side, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.

A huge black shadow emerged behind Zoro, and his whole body was covered with golden light, turning into a monster with three heads and six arms. Coldness and heat swept across half of the island, and red lightning burst out from his body.

"Ghost Energy·Nine Swordsman Style·Asura·Drawing Sword·The Play of the Dead!"

"God avoids!"

boom!

With a loud bang, the two collided at high speed.

In an instant, the earth shook and the entire island was trembling. The huge creatures on the island were terrified and stopped fleeing. Some lay on the ground and dared not move, and some even fell to the ground and fainted.

The three huge volcanoes seemed to have felt the impact of this powerful force and began to roar, as if expressing their awe for the two strong men.

At the same time, huge waves arose around the island, constantly hitting the shore, as if to swallow the island.

Enel, who regarded himself as a god, could no longer hold on and slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What kind of monsters are they? How powerful is this? They are just frogs in a well... Hahahaha! He's right..."

In the duel with Hawkeye, Zoro was not clear about Hawkeye's attitude towards him, so Zoro was fighting with the determination to kill Hawkeye. At that time, the nine swords were directly aimed at Hawkeye's vitals.

But Rayleigh would never kill him, so even though he had tried his best, all nine knives were aimed at Rayleigh's knife.

The same goes for Rayleigh, it only determines who is better, not who lives or dies.

During this collision, Zoro only felt a powerful force coming from the nine swords, impacting his lungs with unparalleled destructive power.

Rayleigh also felt a cold and gloomy air like a maggot clinging to his bones, eroding his body.

The next moment, the two men flew backwards at the same time. Rayleigh did a handsome somersault in the air and landed steadily.

On the other hand, Zoro's three-headed, six-armed form was forcibly released, and he only stopped when he crashed into a tree trunk.

"Zoron!"

Luffy rushed over anxiously, and Zoro suddenly exhaled a breath of foul air: "Huh, I'm fine, Luffy."

"Hahahaha! What an incredible young man."

……

"Zoron!"

"Ok?"

After staying on the island for a night, Zoro asked Rayleigh for a life card of Shaki from the Sabaody Archipelago the next day, planning to retrieve Xuezou from the Sunny first.

He has been forging the black sword for a long time during this period. He has thought about it for a long time. Qiu Shui has been forged into a black sword by Ryuma, which is not suitable for him now. He now needs to forge his own black sword. Moreover, when he arrives in Wano Country in the future, there is no reason not to return Qiu Shui. It is better to change it now.

Although he is very rich now, the big sword and the supreme big sword are both priceless, and he has deep feelings for Xuezou. He also believes that after he has forged Xuezou into a permanent black sword, it will not be defeated by any sword. The strong one is never the sword, but the man!

Early in the morning, Zoro took the dazed Eneel, said goodbye to Luffy and Rayleigh, and prepared to go to the Sabaody Archipelago. As soon as he boarded the Bit, he was stopped by Luffy.

"I will catch up with you. See you in Sabaody Archipelago in a year and a half! I will definitely be the Pirate King!"

"Hey! Come on! Luffy, in a year and a half, we will definitely be able to protect our friends!"

"Ok!"

As the Bit went further and further away, Luffy and Rayleigh continued their closed-door training.

On the Bit, Zoro raised his eyebrows slightly at the absent-minded Enelu: "Pay attention to the road! If you take the wrong road, hehe!"

Enel seemed not to have heard: "That old man, is he the strongest person in this sea?"

Hmm? Is this a shock?

"It can be said that he is among the strongest group of people."

"A batch?"

"Hmm..." Zoro looked towards the distant sky, remembering the majestic figure during the Battle of Marineford: "Rayleigh is old after all..."

Enel was a little unwilling: "You are lying to me, right?! The world shouldn't be so different!"

Zoro glanced at him and said, "So you are a frog in a well, only able to bully others on a small island. When you arrive in the new world, open your eyes and take a good look. The gap between the worlds has always been so huge!"
