One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 948: Luffy and Zoro's Battle
The ghost's real name is Clausa. His ability is very special and simple, which is numbers. However, it is not that powerful. On the contrary, it is very easy to understand. The name of his fruit is the Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division Fruit. He can randomly connect addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and the numbers 0-9 to form a mathematical formula, and then add and subtract an abstract concept. However, it can only work on inanimate objects. For example, he cannot use his own power to prevent Kuina from getting close to him, but he can use his ability to make the opponent's sword swing ineffective.

At the same time, his fruit ability has a big weakness, that is, no matter whether it is the symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, or the numbers from zero to nine, only one can appear at the same time. In other words, he can only do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within ten, and he cannot do it beyond this range. Even if he wants to combine one and zero into ten, it is impossible.

And because only one equal sign can appear at a time, this also means that he is not that powerful when facing multiple enemies. But it doesn't matter, since he is not alone anyway.

"Rubber rubber! Pistol!"

Luffy rushed to the front and punched with a pistol towards the building where Spandam and others were hiding, trying to break the wall in front of him and drive the boat directly in. As a result, a tall and thin figure suddenly appeared, kicked away Luffy's attack, and then his feet seemed to have suction power and stood diagonally on the wall of the building.

"Ahaha, the Straw Hat Pirates, I've heard of you, especially you, Straw Hat Boy. It seems like you are the grandson of that Garp, right? Hahahahaha, I'm really lucky."

The tall and thin figure who was the captain looked at Luffy and said.

"Another one? It happened so fast I didn't even notice."

Luffy retracted his fist and looked at the guy in front of him solemnly. The opponent was very fast and he didn't even have time to react with his observation Haki before the opponent actually kicked away his attack.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Robert, the captain of the Shadow Team. It's an honor to meet you, Straw Hat Luffy. Did your damn grandfather ever say anything about me?"

Robert's voice sounded normal, even cheerful, but the resentment revealed in it was indelible.

"Do you know my grandfather?"

Luffy was stunned after hearing what Robert said. It was no secret that his grandfather was a naval hero. After all, many people knew that he was forcibly taken to the navy for training by the old man. But the man in front of him obviously had some grudge with his grandfather.

"Of course, of course I know him. If it weren't for that damn old man, I wouldn't be what I am today. Humph, stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!"

As Robert spoke, he exerted force with his feet and launched himself directly towards Luffy at an astonishing speed. Luffy was not to be outdone. His legs compressed like an air pump, and his whole body instantly turned pink. A puff of steam came out from Luffy's body, and he instantly left the spot the next moment.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

The two men collided with each other almost instantly, and for a while they were fighting with fists and feet, neither of them could do anything to the other.

On the other side, Zoro and Usopp got on a new rubber boat and had come to the side of the building. The shipbuilders had already prepared rope lassos and rope ladders for climbing. Zoro rushed in first, but before he could stand firm, he was faced with a pair of huge fists. If Zoro hadn't had a good waist and could have dodged with an iron bridge, he would have been knocked out.

"Hahahaha, did you dodge it? Seems like he's a pretty good guy."

The guy who just attacked was the sturdy man who was going to train Spandam before. Seeing that Zoro dodged his attack, he was not angry at all, but happy. For the sturdy man, he likes enemies who can fight him head-on. Although he does not rule out using some sneak attacks, it would be best if he could fight head-on. Obviously, the sturdy man was very satisfied with the fact that Zoro dodged his attack.

"Tsk, is there anyone in this place too?"

Zoro pulled out the three long swords from his waist, put the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, and said to the burly man in front of him.

"Hahahaha, let me introduce myself. My name is Lawless. I'm good at head-on combat. You fit my fighting habits very well. So, let's fight! Hahahaha!"

The strong man Lawless laughed and rushed towards Zoro. His footsteps were heavy, and each one seemed to collapse the ground. Zoro did not dare to neglect it. "One Gorilla, two Gorilla!"

Zoro concentrated his strength in his arms, but this time his goal was not the Ergangli Slash. Instead, he knew from Lawless's punch just now that the guy in front of him was incredibly strong. Even he might not be his opponent in a simple contest of strength, so the power of Ergangli Slash was necessary.

"clang!"

Zoro's guess was correct. Even though he had been strengthened, he was still no match for the strong man. This guy seemed to be made of steel and iron. He was clearly using his fists to fight against his sword, but he was unharmed. Moreover, Zoro could see clearly that this guy had absolutely no domineering power and was knocked back repeatedly by this punch.

"Hahahahahaha, you really are a good opponent. No one else can withstand one punch from me without being knocked away."

However, although Zoro's resistance looked a bit embarrassing, he received high praise from the strong man Lawless. In Lawless's opinion, Zoro was able to withstand his attack and only took a few steps back. This was obviously not something that ordinary people could do, so this mission was worth it.

"Damn it, Usopp! Lead your men around from the side! Leave this guy to me!"

Zoro stared at Lawless closely and shouted behind him.

"Okay! Stay safe, Zoro!"

Usopp did not hesitate. After sailing for such a long time, they have become accustomed to handing the opponent over to the right person. The power-type guy in front of them is obviously suitable for Zoro to deal with. After all, if this kind of power-type character is handed over to Usopp, he will definitely be beaten to the ground. No one will let the shooter face a top tank at close range, especially a tank with obvious displacement and speed.

"It seems like you are a mature team, but is it really okay to just let that kid go?"

Facing Usopp and several shipbuilders who were leaving, Lawless did not stop them. Instead, he looked at Zoro and said with a smile.

"I trust my companions."

Zoro took the dark green headscarf off his arms and tied it on top of his head.

"Oh? Really? Although this is not suitable for our team, I must say that the old woman is indeed very strong. With your companions, how long can you survive in her lair?"

Lawless was dismissive of Sauron's confidence. If that woman was the weakest among them in a head-on battle, then if it was a prepared positional battle, even if they were all combined, they would probably not be the match of that old woman. After all, with her ability, if she was prepared, she could turn almost everything around her into her own combat power.

"Then just watch. Although Usopp is usually unreliable, once he is in a desperate situation, the power he can exert will definitely exceed your imagination."

Zoro was very confident in Usopp. The guy who usually talked nonsense showed energy when facing desperate situations. Even he and Luffy might not be able to match him. Moreover, this guy had quick wits that others did not have. Positional warfare? It just happened to be what Usopp was good at.

"Really? Then let's see who is right and who is wrong. But before that, let's decide the winner! Fist of the Big Bowl!"

"Ghost Slayer!"

With the sound of clanging, the two men started fighting.
