I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

The suspension bridge near the isolated island north of Dressrosa was in a mess, with traces of battle everywhere.

Doflamingo, his body charred black, looked at the wounded Law and laughed wildly: "What should I do next, Law!"

Panting and covered in wounds, Law grinned: "From the very beginning, I joined forces with the Straw Hat Pirates with only one goal... to destroy the Devil Fruit manufacturing factory. If you can't deliver as promised, can you withstand Kaido's wrath?"

"Hey hey hey hey hey, so you are the bait. So you wanted to die with me, kid!" Doflamingo didn't seem panicked.

"Unfortunately... I've prepared a great gift for that tough swordsman from the Straw Hat Pirates: I've trapped him in the arena! The Don Quixote family's officials have been waiting in the factory for a long time, and since you haven't bought more time, the Straw Hat Pirates are still dawdling and making no progress."

"However, even though you keep saying you're using them, your plan requires a huge amount of trust in them. Why do you trust the Straw Hats to this extent?"

Luo laughed resolutely, "Huh...Huh...D will definitely...bring on a violent storm again!"

-

On the other side, the Straw Hat Pirates followed the battle arrangements of the one-legged toy soldier. Franky went to make trouble in the toy factory, Robin and Usopp followed the dwarfs to the underground world and scared Sucrose... As for Luffy and Enel, well, they didn't need any battle arrangements because they had already gone to the palace.

An hour after the D Zone competition concluded, the commentator's passionate voice echoed once again within the arena: "Here, under the national gaze! The special arena, built specifically for the fight for a certain treasure, is ready! Now, only five contestants are waiting to enter!"

As the five gates opened, several contestants entered one after another.

The winner of Region A is the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' ship No. 2 - Rain Shiryu;

Zone B winner, Commodore – Momotosagi Gion;

The winner of Zone D, the Riku King Clan – the undefeated female champion Rebecca;

Don Quixote family represents one of the four cadres - Diamante;

He was a bit confused by the green-haired guy who came in to chat him up. He felt like he had forgotten something. After thinking carefully, he finally scratched his head and moistened his throat.

"Hey, Rebecca, these guys are not the same characters as before. Stand next to me so I can protect you."

Rebecca was about to nod, but after glancing at the looks of several people on the field, she became suspicious: "Are you sure it will be safe to stand next to you?"

Xiluo, with a cigar in his mouth, had bloodthirsty eyes, as if he wanted to eat the green algae head alive; although Gion had no intention of killing for the time being, his eyes kept scanning the green algae head, and Diamanti also looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Uh..." The green algae-haired man was speechless for a moment, and his expression gradually became unfriendly.

What? You're all drifting, right?

"Roronoa! As a swordsman, you didn't bring your sword. You're asking for death. The revenge for the sword fight two years ago should be settled today."

"There's no point in beating you up!" The green-haired man was extremely dissatisfied with these people who were preventing him from chatting up people.

"Hehe... little guy, according to the information I've obtained, you should have a habit. Why don't you have it when I'm here?"

"How old are you? Don't you know?" When it comes to those who can't pay their wages, straight male cancer strikes again.

"Straw Hat Pirates, what is your purpose here?"

"It's none of your business, you little jerk!"

The three of them had six eyes spitting fire, and the green algae-haired man stared back fearlessly, while Rebecca quietly moved away.

At that moment, a gigantic fighting fish swimming in the vast canal suddenly leaped to the surface, and the commentator's voice rang out once more: "The fighting fish in this decisive match are completely different from those in previous matches. They're larger, more ferocious, and will attack the contestants at will. They're the bosses of their respective schools. Furthermore, strapped to the back of one of the fighting fish is the prize of this tournament—the legendary swordsman Dosetsu's, named the Great Blade Twenty-One: Raikiri, for its ability to cut through lightning!"

"The rules of this competition are simple! Whoever grabs the famous sword and remains standing on the stage until the last moment wins! Who will ultimately win the grand sword? Let's wait and see! The competition officially begins!"

As the referee's loud and passionate shouts rang out, it seemed as if the whole world was on fire.

"Roronoa!"

Shiryu roared, and then a blinding flash of crimson light flashed by, as swift and fierce as a ghost. In the blink of an eye, the demonic sword Thunderstorm was unsheathed, and with endless killing intent, it rushed straight towards Zoro.

At the same time, the famous sword Konpira in Gion's hand was not to be outdone. He suddenly swung out a dazzling pink sword light, and its force was like a storm, unstoppable.

On the other side, the Western sword in Diamanti's hand, which was as soft as silk and yet extremely light, stretched out and pierced silently like a snake coming out of a cave.

"Depend on!"

A surge of red lightning burst out from the green algae head, causing the attacks of several people to stagnate. Then his arms turned pitch black, and he twisted his waist violently: "No Blade Style·Black Rope·Big Tornado."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying tornado suddenly formed around him. This huge tornado intertwined with red lightning, and for a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the sky and the earth changed color.

The three besiegers were clearly no ordinary men either. They quickly retracted their swords and engaged in full defense.

Xiliu, who was the first to be hit, was directly knocked back several meters by the huge impact force, and his feet left two deep marks on the ground;

Gion, with his agility and superb skills, did a clever backward somersault and successfully dissipated most of the incoming force;

As for Diamanti, he took several steps back and almost stepped out of the boundary of the battle area.

"What...what a powerful momentum..." Rebecca's eyes were full of disappointment. It was indeed as Mr. Soldier said, it was impossible for her to win in such a competition.

Xiliu's expression turned ugly: "Can you reach this level without using a knife?"

Gion's eyes were solemn: "As expected of someone who could challenge the general two years ago, his reputation is well-deserved."

"Hyperic Haki!!" Diamanti's eyes were filled with shock. "Why? How could someone who condescends to others possess such domineering aura?"

"A siege? That's more interesting!" The algae-haired man was obviously irritated by the others. A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Shave!"

In just a moment he appeared in front of Diamanti and threw a high side kick: "Aromatic Kick!"

Diamante was one of the four cadres and had been in the arena for a long time. He quickly pulled up his cloak to resist. Although the cloak was made of steel and was extremely hard, Zoro's strength was so terrifying that the steel cloak was instantly dented. A powerful kick hit his shoulder, and Diamante screamed and flew out sideways.

Just as Diamanti was about to fall into the Niuyu Sea, a fighting fish jumped up and rushed towards him. Gion was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He stepped his left foot on his right foot, flew up and pulled the fish back with great difficulty.

As Zoro was about to give chase, an idea suddenly occurred to his mind and he stopped immediately. He saw a blood-red blade light flying in front of him, and a huge crack was cut in the ground of the arena.

At the same time, another fighting fish flew out and bit towards Zoro's head.

He kicked the fighting fish away with a hook kick. When it landed on the ground, the ground became undulating like silk.

"Hey! Awakened fruit ability? But this trick doesn't work on me."

Rebecca stumbled and fell to the ground, then she suddenly burst into tears.

Zoro also reacted. Every detail of his time with Robin emerged in his mind, and he suddenly became angry.

The people in the arena were filled with shock, and many toys in the arena flashed with strange light. When the light faded, they all turned into humans.

"I...turns out I do have a father!!! I finally remembered...!!!" Rebecca burst into tears.

At this moment, the fighting fish with the famous sword tied on its back jumped up, opened its bloody mouth and attacked her. At the critical moment, Sauron suddenly disappeared on the spot.

"razor!"

The next moment, Zoro, holding his sister in his arms, appeared on the back of the fighting fish.

The three people on the ground also seized the opportunity and attacked at the same time. A hellish sea of ​​corpses and blood appeared behind Xilu. His eyes shone with blood-red light. He rushed towards Zoro quickly, and the blood-colored thunderstorm in his hand pierced straight towards him.

The golden halberd in Gion's hand was covered with a layer of pink firefly domineering aura, and he flew up with the posture of drawing a sword and slashing the sky.

Diamanti shouted angrily: "Half Moon Funeral."

He raised his sword and swung it out, stirring up a powerful wave of sword energy.

While several people were attacking, Zoro had already held the beauty tightly with one hand, and pulled out the Raikiri tied to the back of the fighting fish with the other hand. With a flash of lightning, he kicked the fighting fish hard and jumped high.

"Ah!" With Rebecca's scream, the fighting fish instantly broke into pieces as soon as it was touched by the moves of several people.

Zoro had already sensed the movement deep underground, so he murmured, "Usopp... I will help you ascend to the throne of God!"

Following closely was the chant from the Nine Nether Hell: "One Sword Style..."

The Raikiri in Zoro's hand turned as black as ink, and blood-red lightning coiled around the blade like a dragon. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky above the stands was engulfed in this dazzling red light, as if a bloody purgatory had suddenly descended upon the world.

“…God ​​avoid!”

As his words fell, an indescribable force suddenly erupted. Zoro, holding Rebecca, transformed into a shadow, swooped down, and suddenly swung out an immense crimson light, sweeping towards the arena.

Wherever he passed, the air was violently distorted, and the sword light from Diamante dissipated as soon as it touched; Shiryu and Gion, who flew up, collided with Zoro, but the blades of the three did not touch, and the unmatched force caused the two to fall suddenly.

There was a loud bang, and the ground broke and shattered. The extremely solid arena was instantly broken into countless pieces by this earth-shattering force, forming a bottomless and shocking huge hole.

The green algae-head grinned with satisfaction: "Oh, you don't avoid it, right?"

……

Deep underground, a giant lifted up the unconscious Usopp, and a dazzling light fell from above the ground. Although he was covered with scars, it still couldn't stop his brilliant light!
