I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

The Island of Gods was exceptionally noisy tonight, filled with laughter and joy, as well as the howling of ghosts and wolves. It was a group of pirates having a bonfire party with a group of cloud wolves.

Just when they were dancing happily, the cloud wolves suddenly stopped and went on alert.

"Huh? Chopper! What happened to them?" Luffy was confused.

"A big guy is coming." Chopper translated the wolf king's words in a rough tone.

"Is it an enemy?" Luffy also clenched his fists, and the Straw Hat Pirates stood up together.

At this moment, a huge black shadow appeared in the moonlight not far away, like some kind of primitive giant beast, and there seemed to be a human figure sitting on its back. As the black shadow got closer, the person on its head became more and more familiar.

"That's... Zoro!!" Luffy's eyes sparkled with gold stars: "Oh!!! What a big dog!"

"Hey! Zoro! How did you find this place!" Nami was very confused.

"Is this food?" The lecherous cook stared at the big dog and fell into deep thought.

"Hey! Is everyone okay?" Zoro was in a good mood after finally finding the main force.

"Woo! Zoro!!" Chopper's eyes were filled with tears: "Nothing happened today!"

"Come to think of it, what's going on with this big dog?" Usopp was curious.

"Hehehe..." Robin kept smiling.

Just as Zoro was explaining the origin of "holiness" to everyone, Luffy's laughter was heard beside him. Yes, he began to command the dog to sit down and stand up, having a lot of fun.

Chopper dutifully helped Zoro take the medicine.

"So, you have defeated two priests. Then what about what Luffy and Chopper said, that they can see through the attack intention?" Compared to Luffy's carelessness, Sanji is more concerned about the enemy's situation.

"That's the heart net!" said Gan Ful, the awakened air knight.

"Heart Net?"

"Well, I don't know how to use it either... I can't explain it clearly, but I heard it's a kind of hearing power. It's said that as long as a person is alive, their body will make sounds..."

"sound?"

"It's said that just by listening, you can know your opponent's next move..." Gan Ful tried to explain, "With further practice, you can hear sounds from a wider range."

"The priests can hear the voices of the entire God Island, and Enel can expand the range to the entire country."

"Then... they have heard everything we said now?" Sanji was surprised.

"That's not the case. I don't know about Enel, who is called God, but it is impossible for these priests to keep listening to the entire island all the time." Zoro began to talk.

"Perverted cook!" Zoro grinned. "Want to see the heart net that old man was talking about?"

"Huh?" Sanji was puzzled.

Zoro pulled off his turban, covered his eyes, and grinned, "Hit me!"

Sanji took a deep puff of cigarette, his face full of contempt: "I don't know why, but since I came to Sky Island, I haven't kicked your green algae head. I miss it so much!"

With that he threw a side kick, heading straight for Zoro's head.

However, Zoro seemed to be able to see it and easily dodged it by leaning back.

"Is the shoulder chop next?"

Zoro said as he dodged sideways: "Then there's the kick."

……

He dodged more than ten kicks in a row, until...

"...So powerful!" Chopper widened his eyes.

Zoro was very proud to hear the praise, so he was finally kicked over.

"So you asked me to kick you before because you were practicing this! But... it seems your practice is not enough, perverted swordsman!" Sanji lit a cigarette.

"Damn chef! I will chop you into pieces sooner or later!" Zoro stood up cursing and pulled off his turban.

After cursing, he said seriously: "This is what Sky Island calls the Heart Net. On the Grand Line, people call this power Observation Haki."

"Haki? Is that the same power that Luffy's brother used to beat you last time?" Sanji vaguely remembered that Ace beat Zoro in Alabasta.

Zoro was full of black lines: "Yeah! That is Armament Haki, which can be used to attack, defend, and even touch the nature-type fruit, but I still have no idea how to practice it."

He paused and continued, "As for the so-called Observation Haki, it varies from person to person. Based on individual talents, different types can be cultivated. Some can sense attacks and predict the opponent's next move. Some can sense the strength, emotions, and thoughts of living beings. Some can even sense the location and number of objects outside of one's field of vision. Its strength depends on the individual's cultivation."

"As you can see, when using Observation Haki to perceive, you need to remain calm and concentrate. Once your mind is disturbed, your Observation Haki will easily become ineffective."

"Is that so?" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, slowly stood up and closed his eyes: "Hey! Bastard swordsman, hit me!"

Zoro was stunned at first, then he clenched his fist with ill intent and hit him hard on the head.

“@$%!!!” Well, in short, his curse was very unpleasant.

"Hahahaha!" Luffy laughed beside him.

"Hey! Luffy, aren't you worried at all?" Looking at the heartless Luffy, Zoro couldn't help but remind him that if he didn't take this seriously, Luffy would suffer when facing Eneel.

"Hehe! Don't worry! Just punch it away." Luffy showed a row of big white teeth.

As expected, he has not yet suffered the beatings of society. I am afraid that he will become more motivated when he arrives in the Water City.

"Come to think of it, what did that fat guy use to knock us away before? He could even hurt a rubber man like Luffy." Usopp touched his chin.

Zoro took out the shock shell he had looted: "This should be it!"

Next, it’s time for Teacher Gan to start class.

"This is a shock shell. It absorbs the force of an impact and releases it instantly. Secure it to your palm with a glove or tape. If it lands accurately, it's powerful enough to kill."

After that, Teacher Gan directed Sanji to practice it, and then introduced many black technologies that Sky Island could use as weapons.

Zoro fell into deep thought. If nothing unexpected happened, he would meet Enelu tomorrow. According to the plot, Luffy, the idiot, would definitely be the last to arrive at the battlefield.

Before that, he didn't want to be struck by lightning.

Love points should be saved to buy the Dominant Color first. With my level of picking up girls, um... unless it’s a matter of life and death, I will never spend it recklessly!

But I couldn’t buy the rubber stick either. Sigh…where can I find rubber now?

He stared at the blazing bonfire, lost in thought...at the red-hot wood, and so on.

Zoro suddenly wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he so obsessed with rubber? It was all over. It was all because of Luffy, that idiot, who led him astray.

Who said that rubber is the only insulator?!?
