The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

Usopp took the lead and rushed towards the direction where the Negative Specter appeared, remaining unmoved as the Negative Specter freely moved through his body.

This drew frequent glances from Absalom. What kind of monster was this?

How can it be immune to Perona's Negative Ghost?

"Damn it! Don't look around while you're fighting me!" Sanji kicked Absalom away.

Seeing that the enemies had all been "divided up," Vivi, Robin, and Laboon felt a little helpless.

"Then let's clear out the zombies around here," Vivi suggested.

"Great!" Labomo clenched his fists in anticipation.

She's a violent girl, too.

Robin did not answer immediately, but looked at Sima Di, his gaze asking if he had any plans.

"Go ahead," Sima Di nodded.

"Let's go then." Robin spread her angel wings.

The three women surrounded the zombies, clearing a space for the group in the center of the battlefield to focus on their fight.

At first glance, everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

only......

Sima Di, standing to the side, was staring at Luffy's shadow zombie, with an ominous premonition.

Why didn't Luffy give Oars his shadow?

That......

Whose shadow will Oz use?

My own?

Both he and Luffy have a bounty of 300 million Berries, so there's no reason for him to abandon Luffy's shadow, which he's already got, and insist on using his own.

and......

It's not that Emperor Sima looked down on the moonlight.

Emperor Sima had no intention of "selling flaws to make things more difficult for everyone." A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, so why should he give his shadow to others?

That's just brain-dead.

But now all the monsters and main zombies have appeared, except for Moonlight...

Furthermore, considering that Luffy's shadow wasn't used by Oars...

This definitely means they have a new goal!

The entire Straw Hat Pirates could make Gecko...

"Probably not?" Sima Di pondered. "Although that old man Crocus doesn't usually put in much effort, he wouldn't be so bad as to cause trouble... right?"

But apart from this possibility, there are no other options at all!

We can't just spend all our money by the end of the month...

"Hey! Emperor, stop watching the show!" Luffy suddenly shouted, "Get rid of these annoying things!"

However, negative spirits were roaming around the arena, and they had to use their Armament Haki to deal with them, which seriously disrupted the normal "duel".

Um......

"Who told you this was a one-on-one duel?" Sima Di asked, puzzled.

You need more pressure so you can push your limits.

—It's definitely not because Emperor Sima was too lazy to take action.

What can Luffy do?

Just grit your teeth and bear it!

Vivi and Laboon were kind-hearted; they rushed over and used Armament Haki to take down the Negative Ghosts one by one.

However, some managed to slip through the net, passing through Zoro's body and causing him to become despondent on the spot, kneeling down to become a "Thinker Statue".

Logically, his opponent Ryuma should have pressed his advantage and killed Zoro at this point.

But Longma did not.

His remaining "warrior spirit" wouldn't allow him to do that.

Emperor Sima's eyes lit up upon seeing this!

Doesn't this confirm his previous conjecture?

"Don't panic! I'll handle it!"

Sima Di raised his hand and unleashed a holy light, enveloping the dejected Sauron.

then......

Zoro calmly stood up, his face showing neither the negative emotions of the Negative Ghost nor the joy of blessing.

All that remained was a robotic coldness.

This is......

It's been ruined?

?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?

5000+ words!

There won't be too much focus on combat; the book will primarily focus on the plot.

Thank you to "Shadow Dance Cat", "17319..", and "18674.." for their monthly votes!

49. You dare hit my woman? Sanji's Deep Throat!

Whether Zoro has been completely ruined by Sima Di is unknown, but his aura is seriously off!

He put away the other two swords, leaving only the Wado Ichimonji.

It was as if he was responding to Ryoma's earlier decision not to take advantage of his vulnerability, and was now challenging him to a fair swordsmanship duel.

Unexpectedly...

The three-sword style turned into a one-sword style, and each strike became deadly, making it difficult for the previously carefree Ryoma to defend himself. Before long, he was starting to tire.

They were actually outmatched!

Forced to unleash his ultimate move—

"One-Sword Style??? Ganglian??"

Zoro showed no fear and charged straight at them.

"One-Sword Style????"

The two passed each other and stood back to back.

"Tear it apart——"

A knife wound appeared on Longma's waist, and a dark blue flame ignited from the wound, quickly spreading and burning throughout his entire body.

It showed no fear of death whatsoever.

Ryuma calmly sheathed his sword and tossed it behind him, where Zoro caught it.

"Black Blade Autumn Water... I really wish I could have met you in the era when you were alive!"

A sigh,

Ryoma turned to ashes in the flames and scattered with the wind, while a shadow flew towards Brook, who was still locked in fierce combat.

Brook instinctively used his Soul Fire to purify the shadowy figure!

Fortunately, they reacted in time, otherwise it would have been quite a spectacle.

A system notification also appeared before Sima Di's eyes—

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the famous scene "The Dragon Slayer's Approval!", you have received the sign-in reward "The Strong Physique of Dragon Slayer Ryuma"!]

----------

"Ryuma the Dragon Slayer's Robust Physique": As a samurai who slays flying dragons, Ryuma possesses a formidable physique, capable of easily shattering small mountains and splitting the sea!

----------

His physique was strengthened by about 30%, and his Armament Haki also increased proportionally.

If I were to fight Garp again now, it would definitely be much easier.

"Rumble--"

Suddenly, large sections of the ground beneath their feet collapsed, and a blood-red figure rose up from the ground not far away, standing about fifty or sixty meters tall.

It's Oz the Demon!

Upon seeing this, Sima Di slapped his forehead. There was no need to ask anymore; it must be that old man Crocus making things more difficult for him.
