One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Faced with Shiryu's murderous aura, Zoro simply smiled slightly and said coolly:

"If I don't let them leave, I won't be able to unleash my full power and kill you, you bastard!!!"

boom!!!

In an instant, a domineering aura of a king suddenly surged out from Zoro's body, rushing towards Shiryu like a raging sea.

Feeling a sharp tremor in his mind, Shiryu's expression suddenly froze:

"This...this is Conqueror's Haki!?"

He made a sound of surprise.

After all, Zoro's bounty is only 880 million Berries.

While that might be considered high in the grand scheme of things, within the Straw Hat crew, it would only place them in the middle ranks.

Yet this very guy unleashed such terrifying Conqueror's Haki.

"So... what exactly are those lazy, good-for-nothing marines doing?!"

Shiryu's eyes instantly turned serious upon realizing that something was wrong with Zoro.

Zoro on the other side was in the same situation.

At this moment, he could sense that Aisha's reconnaissance system had ultimately made a huge mistake.

Although from the perspective of life force, Shiryu's strength is indeed in the sixties.

But Zoro, also a swordsman, knew...

To judge the strength of a swordsman, it is important not only to consider his physical attributes, but also, and more importantly, his understanding and comprehension of the way of the sword!

Clearly, the guy on the other side is at least level 70!

This is the first time Zoro has faced such a formidable enemy alone!

However, Zoro showed no worry in his eyes as he thought of this. Instead, he couldn't help but lick his lips and murmured in a voice only he could hear:

"This is really...exciting!"

Battle is about to break out!!!

As a spark burst forth in the shadows, the two powerful swordsmen leaped backward.

The next moment, the two looked up at the same time, their sharp eyes fixed on each other.

sieve……!

The violent air currents whipped at their clothes, making them flutter loudly.

As if by some kind of signal, the two figures once again burst forth with surging momentum, transforming into two streaks of red and green that collided instantly.

"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Six Paths' Tsuji!"

"Bloodfang!"

Chapter 252 Humanity That Sliced ​​Through the World's Barrier (Please Read On!)

Clang!

Like a shooting star shining in the night sky.

The first clash of sword techniques between Zoro and Shiryu instantly sparked a burst of intense heat.

The powerful impact surged outwards like a storm.

boom!!!

In an instant, rows of houses were reduced to ruins by the collision between the two men, with countless pieces of rubble and wood flying everywhere.

"This...this is their true strength!?"

At the same time, the female warriors, who hadn't gone far, felt a huge noise behind them and couldn't help but stop. They stretched out their arms to protect their faces from flying wood chips while exclaiming in amazement in the direction of Zoro and Shiryu.

However, before they could finish speaking, two even more violent and ferocious auras suddenly rose up in front of them, soaring straight into the sky!

For a moment, this affected the sky island that was constantly roaring in the sky, causing it to tilt slightly.

In the eyes of the female warriors, countless brilliant beams of light suddenly burst forth from Zoro's body and quickly formed a dragon-like figure behind him!

Before that dragon, Shiryu instantly appeared as an ant standing next to a giant.

呲!

He suddenly exerted his strength, drawing a bright white arc with the famous sword "Thunderstorm" in his hand.

Meanwhile, Shiryu took the opportunity to distance himself from Zoro.

His expression darkened slightly, a look of doubt appearing on his face: "Is this... your Devil Fruit ability!?"

"Paramecia type!? Or a Mythical Zoan type!?"

Even the well-informed Shiryu couldn't quite discern the source of Zoro's power when he sensed the ethereal yet real dragon figure.

But in an instant, a greedy glint flashed in his eyes!

The fact that Blackbeard possesses the ability to steal Devil Fruits is no longer a novelty in the world.

Within the Black Lion Alliance, almost all the powerful members have obtained the Devil Fruit abilities they desire.

Shiryu is considered one of the few non-Devil Fruit powerhouses in the entire Black Lion Alliance!

It wasn't that he didn't want to become a power user or gain the weakness of fearing the sea.

So far, Shiryu has not found a Devil Fruit ability that matches his own.

Upon seeing the dragon-like figure suddenly erupt from Zoro's body, he instantly made up his mind!

This fruit, whether it's a Paramecia type, a Zoan type, or some other special ability...

He's determined to have them all!!!

Because at this moment, he felt an unprecedented aura emanating from Zoro!

As a top swordsman, Shiryu immediately sensed that this aura did not come from Zoro himself or his swordsmanship!

It came from the special power that he condensed into the giant dragon behind him!

Overbearing, arrogant, powerful... supreme!!!

At first glance, Shiryu was captivated by Zoro's abilities.

If he could acquire such an ability, his strength would definitely experience a huge leap forward!

It's even quite possible that he will break through the current barrier and become a naval admiral!

Thinking of this, Shiryu's greed surged forth.

But in response to his question, Zoro simply smiled slightly and let out a soft laugh:

"Ah!"

"Don't lump me in with those guys who get stronger through Devil Fruit abilities!"

After making a pointed remark about a certain curly-browed chef, Zoro's eyes flashed, and his pupils turned into a deep gold color with a fierce aura.

"I've heard about your intelligence..."

"Shiryu of the Rain, the former warden of Impel Down, possesses strength comparable to that of the Impel Down warden!"

"He is also one of the world's top swordsmen!"

"oh?!"

"Knowing my name, you still dare to challenge me? You've got some nerve!"

"But I have to thank you..."

"They've given me such a powerful Devil Fruit ability!"

Shiryu, who was chewing on a cigar, grinned, but didn't take Zoro's words seriously.

"Forget it, it seems you won't believe me no matter what I say."

Zoro's tone turned serious, but he didn't waste any more words. Instead, he focused his aura and smiled:

"Alright!"

"Let me test whether I've gotten any stronger during this time!"

boom!!!

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Zoro's body.

Since Sanji surpassed him in combat power, he has been making the most of his physical abilities.

Thanks to the Pokémon Center's unlimited healing capabilities...

In addition to training against Luffy or Sanji, Zoro has been undergoing terrifying training every day that far exceeds his physical limits!

Fortunately, thanks to the machine's magical power, even the most intense cultivation would not leave him with any hidden ailments.

The rewards of cultivation after enduring pain are naturally abundant!

After the technological power hidden within Sanji was unleashed, he gained a large amount of experience every day even without doing anything, which forcefully pushed him to level 58!

However, thanks to Zoro's intense training, he has now reached level 59!

He surpassed Sanji once again!

boom!!!

The giant dragon, its head held high, suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the air, transforming into a streak of lightning along with Zoro as they hurtled towards Shiryu.

Everywhere they went was as if they had been swept by a storm, leaving behind a deep ravine.

"You still say this isn't a Devil Fruit ability!?"

Seeing the dragon become even more solid after launching its attack, Shiryu looked at Zoro with disdain, as if he had seen through Zoro's lie.

But then a cold glint flashed quickly in his eyes.

"Next, as long as I bring you before Blackbeard, my power will increase even further!"
