I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Dressrosa Kingdom, Bullfighting Arena Area C.

The surrounding pools were filled with the figures of the defeated, and only two people were left on the field, one was the legendary old thief... the old pirate, and the other was the white-bearded and green-algae-haired man.

"Ha ha ha! I didn't expect there was a master like you hidden in this district! From your eyes, I can see no trace of time. How can you be called a powerful person if you hide your head and show your tail!"

Zoro grinned and simply stopped pretending. Since Shiryu wasn't pretending either, he tore off the big beard on his face and said, "Hey, Uncle Green Pepper, should I take you down, or do you go down by yourself? I have to tell you in advance that my legs are heavy. If I accidentally hurt you, don't try to make trouble!"

"Arrogant brat!" Although Qingjiao didn't know what "碰瓷" meant, he thought it was not a good word, but he still suppressed his anger: "You are Roronoa from the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Not bad!"

"That's good! I'll take care of you first! Then I'll take care of the Straw Hats!"

With that, the mountain-sized figure, with eyes wide open, glared furiously, and roared. At the same time, he suddenly raised his strong right arm and clenched it into a fist. A terrifying black light flashed on his fist. Then, with all his strength, he fiercely smashed this right fist, which contained endless power, towards Zoro.

However, Zoro's reaction speed was as fast as lightning, which was jaw-dropping. At the moment when Qingjiao threw a punch, Zoro's body flashed and used the "Razor". He seemed to turn into an illusory shadow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qing Jiao's punch slammed down onto the hard ground with the force of a thunderbolt. Instantly, the entire earth trembled, emitting a deafening roar as if it were being torn apart. The rising dust obscured the sky, forming a thick, billowing smoke that lingered for a long time.

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone was shocked to find that Zoro, who had been standing there, had disappeared. Qingjiao felt a sense of unease at this moment. He looked around cautiously, but he still couldn't find Zoro. Suddenly, a strong sense of oppression came from above, and Qingjiao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked up.

In the sky, Zoro swooped down like a brilliant meteor, carrying unparalleled momentum and power. His legs shone with a deep black light, and he slashed straight at Qingjiao's head.

Qingjiao was horrified and tried to dodge but it was too late. Seeing that Zoro's powerful kick was about to hit him, he could only hurriedly condense a layer of solid Armament Haki above his head.

“Big fragrant feet!”

"No spikes!"

With a loud bang, Zoro's dark calf hit Qingjiao's head like a meteorite.

There was a loud bang, and Qingjiao's bald head was now raised high, with prominent horns, but the huge impact force still did not stop. Qingjiao's body couldn't help but knock down, and the ground of the entire arena was hit by his raised horns and broke into two pieces.

Uncle Green Pepper fell into the water, and only Zoro was left on the field.

The referee seemed to have been instructed and did not expose his identity. He just announced the winner of Area C on the spot - No. 0556 Zhang San.

The stands of the arena were already stunned into silence by the previous scene.

A cold gaze from the stands stared at the green-haired man on the field: "Roronoa..."

There was also a graceful figure who still had some charm: "Haha...it seems I underestimated you!"

"So strong..." Rebecca, known as the undefeated female general, bit her lip as if she was acting like some kind of senior.

At this time, a certain green-haired man excitedly shouted: "He... he is... Zoro-senpai!!"

Due to the severe damage caused to the arena by this match, subsequent matches will be delayed by 15 minutes.

As the winner, Zoro just returned to the lounge and saw a man in white clothes rushing towards him with a sword. A fierce light flashed in Zoro's eyes, but after seeing who it was, he helplessly held his forehead with his hand. This little brother, there is something wrong with his brain.

"Asshole!! It's all because of you and the Straw Hat Kid's nonsense in that war! You took away my dazzling light, Roronoa!! There's no way for you to escape!"

Forget it, whether No. 42 can win the next game depends on him.

So Zoro dodged and left him with a cool back: "If you want to fight, wait until you win!"

At this time, the rising star Qing Jiao was also helped over by his two younger brothers.

"Hey! Listen up, our old man wants to say something to you!"

After saying that, Qingjiao wanted to bend down to express his gratitude, but the giant's head suddenly fell to the ground. Zoro quickly dodged and dust rose up.

Just as Zoro was about to explode, he felt a jade hand pinch his arm: "Come here, Zhang San."

"Hmm? Ahem! It's you, Rebecca. Long time no see!" He was overjoyed when he saw who it was.

"Huh?...You have so many enemies! Come with me." After saying that, Rebecca pulled Zoro into a corridor.

A burly man sitting in the corridor with a cigar in his mouth appeared in front of them: "Roronoa... my chest still hurts!"

He stopped when he heard that: "I actually forgot about it a long time ago."

A bloodthirsty red light flashed in the man's eyes: "I'll make you remember it later!"

"Hey! Really? Then let's wait and see. Let's go." Zoro grinned and called Rebecca, not wanting to waste time with this rough guy.

"Do you know him? The pirate from before."

"Yeah, there was a fight."

Then, Rebecca took him through many twists and turns and brought him into the prison-like gladiator dormitory.

"Rest for a while! This is the dormitory for our arena's sword fighters..." Rebecca took off her helmet and sat on a bench with her back against the iron fence. "Some people call this the prison cell, but guest players don't come here, so you can stay here without worry until your performance."

Zoro moistened his throat and said, "Ahem! It seems I was right. The helmet is indeed hiding your stunning beauty."

Rebecca blushed slightly: "You're too kind..."

At this moment, several arms suddenly stretched out from the cell and locked Zoro's body tightly to the railing.

"Alright! We got him!"

"Rebecca, hurry up! Now! Kill him!"

"That's what you brought her here for, right?"

Rebecca hesitated for a moment, then raised the sword in her hand and stabbed at Zoro.

Zoro grinned and exerted force suddenly. With a bang, the people behind him slammed into the iron railings. Facing Rebecca who was stabbing him from the front, he dodged the sword with lightning speed, slightly turned sideways, and hugged Rebecca around the waist. Feeling the delicate skin in his hands, he couldn't help but have some wild thoughts.

"He caught Rebecca!"

"She actually lost in speed!"

Rebecca, held in his arms, showed no shame or anger. Tears of resignation welled up in her eyes. "...You can kill me or chop me up as you please. I will accept the punishment."

"Hey! I won't do anything to you, don't worry, beauty is justice."

"I was planning to kill you!" Rebecca was shocked.

"Forget it, I didn't kill him, and you didn't mean to kill him."

The people in the cell sighed unwillingly, and the wailing filled the entire cell:

"Rebecca, the gap in strength between you two is too great..."

"I wanted to get a contestant here, to increase my chances..."

Zoro looked at the mummies wrapped in bandages in the cell.

"We are prisoners of the sword, and so is Rebecca... We fought until our death... All because we once disobeyed the Don Quixote family."

"The king said that if you win 100 battles, you'll be free, but no matter how strong a person is, they certainly can't fight more than battles... Before Doflamingo became king, sword fighting wasn't a killing game like this."

Rebecca was silent for a moment before she spoke. "Today, no matter what, I will win. I will obtain the legendary sword that can cut through lightning and defeat Doflamingo! Today... the army led by Mr. Soldier is preparing for a decisive battle with Doflamingo to liberate us."

As she spoke, she suddenly burst into tears and cried out loudly: "Mr. Soldier... He will die. I don't want to be protected by him anymore. This time, I want to protect Mr. Soldier!"

Zoro looked at the tearful man in front of him and said softly: "I will help you, help you defeat Doflamingo!"

"Hey!?" The mummies were suddenly surprised.

Rebecca was also stunned, and her crying stopped abruptly: "You...what did you say?"

"Hey! Didn't I say it? Beauty is justice! To make such a beautiful girl cry, this Ming brother must not be a good person!"

"Hey??"

Rebecca's cheeks flushed: "Can you...can you let me go first?"

Ding! When Goddess No. 42 is helpless, give her a sense of security and receive a Love Points bonus of +500.
