One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Zoro spreads his arms, maintaining his slashing stance.

Behind him, Bucky the Joker, who had been shouting just moments before, had been slashed multiple times, with his waist and abdomen completely cut open, splitting his body in two.

"thump!"

The two halves of the body fell to the ground.

"Tch, what a useless guy."

Zoro sheathed his sword, his face full of disdain.

I thought a pirate with a bounty of 1500 million would have some skills, but he turned out to be all show and no substance, a complete waste of my expectations.

In comparison.

Zoro turned his head to look at the battle between Iska and Cabaji.

That woman's swordsmanship is quite good.

Just then, a reminder came from a naval lieutenant: "Little Zoro, the battle isn't over yet."

what?

Zoro was taken aback for a moment.

He clearly killed his opponent, so why does he say the battle isn't over? His opponent's body was split in two, so it's impossible for him to have survived.

Wait a minute, before he came here, that naval lieutenant seemed to have reminded him that Buggy the Clown was a Devil Fruit user.

Zoro realized something was wrong.

Looking back, he thought he had cut the other person's body in two, but it seemed that no blood flowed out, and he did not hear the other person's screams.

Is it possible?

"puff!"

Intense pain swept through my entire body.

Zoro's pupils dilated, and a large amount of blood gushed from between his teeth. The intense feeling of powerlessness caused his knees to buckle and he collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it, what is this?!"

Seeing the blade stuck in his waist and the strange hand holding the knife, Zoro endured the pain and slapped the hand away.

The dagger was drawn, drawing a trail of blood.

The hand that attacked him was floating in mid-air.

"Gahahahaha!"

Bucky the Joker, who should have died, floated up, his shattered body automatically merging back into one, leaving no wounds behind.

"I ate the Chop-Chop Fruit, making me an indestructible being. You have no chance of defeating me!"

"Damn it, I was careless!"

Zoro clutched his back in pain.

If the enemy is truly a split personality, then he really has no chance of winning; no, in his current state, he'd be lucky to escape.

"Hahaha, it's time to send you on your way, Roronoa Zoro!"

Buggy pointed the blade at Zoro, then activated his ability, severing his wrist and sending the hand holding the blade flying!

"Split into pieces, clown throwing knives!"

"hateful!!!"

Zoro stared at the incoming throwing knife, his eyes bloodshot. He wanted to jump away and dodge, but his legs were completely powerless, and he could only watch helplessly as he was killed.

His dream has not yet come true!

"Snapped!"

The knife tip stopped right in front of me.

The man gripped Bucky's hand, preventing the throwing knife from advancing an inch.

Zoro's pupils contracted as his vision was filled with the word "justice".

That's a naval lieutenant's cape!

"It's a change of personnel, Zoro, little brother."

With his back to Zoro, Loya smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for testing out Buggy's Devil Fruit ability. If it were me, I would have suffered a great loss too."

"Well, that's hard to say."

Zoro let out a soft chuckle, feeling much better.

Loya didn't intend to comfort Zoro; instead, he stated the facts: although he knew the effects of Buggy's abilities, knowing was not the same as seeing them with one's own eyes.

The speed at which the body splits, the flight speed of the limbs, their strength, and their fighting style are all important pieces of information.

"Oh, right!"

Loya tilted his head slightly.

"It was less than a minute, so it didn't take up too much time."

"."

Zoro's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Loya smiled and walked toward Bucky.

"Big Nose, I'll be your opponent."

"Who are you calling a big-nosed person?!"

Bucky got furious and immediately turned his hatred on Loya. The thing he hated most in his life was when people mocked his nose.

"Looks like you're in a hurry to die too!"

"Give it a try if you can do it."

Loya stared at Bucky, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword. He didn't underestimate his opponent; the ability to tear apart was not so easy to deal with.

Besides, the other party was once Roger's crew member.

First of all!

"Qiang!"

The blade was drawn and collided with the throwing knife that attacked from behind!

"Did you notice?"

Bucky gave a cold laugh and sent his hand flying back.

His abilities have been exposed, so it's normal for the navy to be on guard. However, his dominance in the East China Sea for many years is not solely due to his abilities.

Bucky swung his feet, sharp blades popping out from the soles of his shoes. Then, he twisted his body, his lower body spinning as he flew out.

"Four pieces of a pancake!"

Its lower body spins at high speed, flying close to the ground like an unfolded pancake, its sharp edges easily tearing apart the enemy's body.

“It’s really fast!”

Loya's gaze was solemn.

He had just noticed that after Bucky's body split, it flew at a very high speed, and the smaller the split pieces were, the faster they flew.

On the contrary, the main body itself didn't perform particularly well.

"coming!"

In the blink of an eye, Bucky's spinning lower body covered dozens of meters and came in front of Loya, seemingly about to sever his legs.

Not only that, but their arms, each holding four throwing knives, also came from the left and right, flanking the enemy. If they made a mistake, they would surely be attacked.

"How interesting!"

Loya smiled broadly. This was his first time facing a Devil Fruit user, and it gave him a profound sense of the user's strangeness and power.

Swordsmanship is useless, and you also have to be wary of unpredictable sneak attacks; a slight mistake could lead to the same fate as Zoro.

Moreover, it's very difficult to get close to the opponent's true form!

Even with the Silent Step, it's difficult to escape the pursuit of the throwing knife. The Silent Step is indeed fast, but in reality, it can only move four or five meters each time, which is equivalent to a degraded version of "Shave".

He also cannot use it continuously.

"Qiang!"

The blade is stuck into the ground.

Loya abandoned his longsword, reached into his Justice Cloak, pulled out a black spiked club, and grinned maliciously as he watched Bucky's lower body spin towards him.

Fortunately, he was more skilled!

"A spiked club?!?"

Bucky gasped in terror, his face draining of color instantly.
