Nojigo also summoned a barrier at this critical moment, effectively blocking Mr. 4's bomb attack.

Ms. Christmas dodged Nami's attack and attacked her with her claws.

But she obviously underestimated Nami's speed and couldn't keep up with Nami's movements.

Just as she was about to burrow into the ground again, her claws created sparks on the ground.

It turned out to be a transparent barrier that Nojigo had quietly set up under her feet.

Nami seized the opportunity and pointed her long stick directly at Ms. Christmas' nose, hitting her with one blow.

The intense pain made Ms Christmas roll on the ground in agony. Eventually, she was unable to resist and was easily defeated by Nami.

When Mr. 4 saw his partner Ms. Christmas being defeated, he stopped the ineffective bomb attack.

He then tightly grasped the baseball bat in his hand and walked towards Nojigo aggressively.

However, his slow pace was no match for Nojigo's agility.

Nojigao dodged easily and hit Mr. 4's body accurately with several consecutive finger gun shots, causing him to fall down without any suspense.

After receiving the reward for winning the battle, Al couldn't help scratching his head and frowning as he looked at the three people lying on the ground.

"There's only one pair of seastone handcuffs, but now there are four people to guard. This is really a problem."

Just when he was in distress, Keya came up with a solution at the right time.

"Captain, can you try putting them all in the water? Wouldn't that help control them temporarily?"

After hearing this, Al suddenly realized it. He patted his forehead and laughed, "Haha, how could I forget this method? Thank you so much, Keya."

"Before we leave, we'll put them all in the water tower outside. Then we'll open the valve a little bit. After a day or two, when the water level slowly drops, they'll be free again. Now, we just have to wait until Mr. 1 shows up, and things here will come to an end."

"I heard that Mr. 1 is a very powerful killer, you better be careful." Weiwei reminded worriedly.

El said with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, I will do it myself this time. His Quick Cut Fruit is a tricky ability, and you may not be able to pose a substantial threat to him now."

"Is he really that powerful?" Nami couldn't help but ask, her eyes full of doubt.

"That's right. Because of the Kuai-Zhan Fruit, Mr. 1's entire body has become as hard as steel." Al explained, "Only if you have the power to destroy steel can you possibly defeat him."

Hearing this, several women couldn't help but look at each other, and their eye contact revealed their helplessness. It was obvious that they did not have such strength at the moment.

"Don't worry," Al comforted him, "Once you have fully mastered the Marine Six Styles, I will teach you how to use Armament Haki. Once you have learned Haki, this will no longer be a problem."

Chapter 19 Zoro VS Mr. 1 (Please recommend and collect)

Just as they continued to wait for Mr. 1 to show up, several unexpected guests stepped into the door of Spider Café.

"Boss, please give me some water and food." Luffy, wearing his iconic straw hat, ran in quickly from outside the store.

When he saw Al dressed as a waiter, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Why is it you? Have you changed your career and stopped being a pirate?"

Al smiled slightly, walked to the bar, picked up the cup, poured a few glasses of cool water and placed them on the bar.

Then he motioned Zoro and the others who followed Luffy into the store to sit down, and placed several plates of pastries on the table.

"We are just waiting for someone here, why are you here, Luffy?"

As Luffy explained, he took the pastry handed to him by El and started eating it eagerly.

"When we were passing through this sea area, we heard that there was a rebellion in this country, so we came here specially. As a result, our water and food were stolen by a group of birds on the way."

Al looked at Luffy wolfing down his food and estimated the amount of food on the bar in his mind. He felt that it might not be enough for this group of people.

So, he turned to Sanji who was standing beside him and said, "Sanji, the cakes here may not be enough for you. How about you go to the kitchen and get something to eat?"

Sanji nodded, then walked into the kitchen and started busying himself.

After eating and drinking, Luffy finally came to his senses and asked, "El, didn't you say you would stay in Cape Twin for a while? Why are you ahead of us?"

Al explained: "Because we set out directly here via the permanent pointer, we saved some time compared to you."

"Then are you here for those rebels too?" Luffy asked curiously.

"No, Luffy. This matter is a bit complicated. The person who caused the rebellion in this country is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Only by defeating him can we truly save this country."

"Really? Then let's go find that Crocodile together." Luffy said without hesitation.

Usopp, who was chatting with Kaya nearby, heard this and immediately objected loudly: "Luffy, they are the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We are no match for such a big pirate, okay?"

Watching Luffy and Usopp bickering non-stop, Al smiled and turned his gaze to Chopper who was concentrating on tasting the cake.

"You are Chopper, right? My name is Al, and like them, I'm a pirate who entered the Grand Line from the East Sea."

Chopper stopped eating and responded politely, "Hello, Mr. El, thank you for the food and water."

"You're welcome, Chopper. That Crocodile has a very strong scorpion venom, and I was hoping you could help make some antidote to neutralize the toxin."

"Is it scorpion venom? That kind of toxin is not easy to cure." Chopper thought while chewing a snack, with determination flashing in his eyes, "But I will definitely try my best."

After chatting with Chopper, Al took out a few bottles of wine from the cabinet under the bar and handed them to Zoro.

After chatting with Chopper, Al took out a few bottles of wine from the cabinet under the bar and handed them to Zoro. "A very strong swordsman may appear later. Are you interested?"

Zoro took the bottle, took a few sips and said, "Challenging opponents like this is the meaning of my going out to sea. Leave it to me."

After a while, Sanji kept bringing out delicious food from the kitchen, and the air began to be filled with the enticing aroma of food.

"It smells so good, can you give me a bowl too?" a voice came from outside the door.

As these words were spoken, a man in a jacket walked into the cafe.

There is a conspicuous "壱" tattoo on his chest.

He casually placed his backpack on the table near the door, then asked Al at the bar, "Where's your boss?"

El did not respond directly to his question, but turned to Zoro, "This is the swordsman I was talking about. It depends on your performance, Zoro."

Upon hearing this, Zoro turned his gaze towards Mr. 1, then tied his headscarf tightly, adjusted himself into the best fighting posture, and walked towards Mr. 1's position.

Mr. 1 looked at Zoro in surprise and said, "You look like you want to challenge me?"

Zoro pointed at Al behind him and replied, "I heard him say that you are a very strong swordsman."

"Swordsman? Actually, I'm a killer, but since I gained the ability to slash quickly, no swordsman has been able to hurt me." Mr. 1's tone was a little proud, "Swordsmen can't beat me."

Zoro slowly pulled out the Godo Ichimonji from the scabbard, and pointed the tip of the blade directly at Mr. 1. "Those are all past events, and should be kept in the album as a souvenir. You have never been defeated, just because you have not met me before."

"Then let me see how strong you are!" Mr. 1 responded, with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

As soon as Mr. 1 finished speaking, he rushed towards Zoro as swift as an arrow.

Zoro swung the double swords in his hands forward, but was blocked by Mr. 1's iron arms, and the clanging sound of metal clashing was heard immediately.

"Master the slash." Mr. 1 said coldly, and his arm instantly turned into a sharp blade, tightly grasping Zoro's blade, and then a fierce flying kick attacked Zoro.

Zoro pulled back his two swords with force, jumped back, and cleverly avoided Mr. 1's slash.

"It's a bit difficult to deal with."

Zoro whispered, then swung his sword forward again and launched a fierce attack with Mr. 1.

Al stood at the bar, watching the battle while silently saying in his mind: "System, I want to create a task."

[Mission Name: Roronoa Zoro VS Daz Bonis]

【Task type: Guess】

[Task objective: guess the winning player]

[Mission Reward: Armament Haki]

"System, the task setting has been completed, please generate it immediately. I guess Sauron wins."

[The system is confirming the reward based on the comparison of the strengths of both parties...]

[It has been determined that Zoro is relatively weak. Betting on him can double the reward. Match the Armament Haki to pass.]

Hearing the system's confirmation, Al breathed a sigh of relief and began to concentrate on observing the duel between Zoro and Mr. 1.

Originally, El planned to fight this battle himself, but changed his mind after meeting Zoro.

In his test, a pirate with a bounty of more than 1 million berries would need to be eligible for a reward like Armament Haki.

If I take action myself, I can easily win, but I won't be able to increase the mission reward by taking advantage of the difference in strength like I do now.

The two men on the field kept fighting, and Zoro, who was obviously better in swordsmanship, wielded his two swords and slashed at Mr. 1 continuously. However, Mr. 1 was like an unshakable iron wall, and no matter how wildly the swords danced, his body was not hurt at all.

"I told you a long time ago, no swordsman has ever been able to hurt me." Mr. 1 fought back and attacked Zoro with words, with a hint of provocation in his voice.

"This is the first time I've met an opponent like you. It's indeed a bit troublesome." Zoro responded. Despite facing such a tough enemy, there was no wavering in his eyes. Instead, his fighting spirit burned even more fiercely.

"That's because you have never met me before." Mr. 1 repeated Zoro's words verbatim. His voice echoed in the air, as if declaring the fact that he was invincible.

Chapter 20: Rainy Land Challenges Lao Sha (Please recommend and collect)

Every time Zoro swung his sword, it was like hitting an indestructible shield, rendering his fierce attacks ineffective.

However, after Zoro's repeated futile attacks, Mr. 1 finally seized a great opportunity.

He held Zoro's knife steadily, and then his arm transformed into a high-speed rotating blade and suddenly drilled towards Zoro's body.

Caught off guard, Zoro suffered a heavy blow.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. 1's continuous slashes came down like a storm, and each blow was extremely heavy.

Finally, under this series of fierce attacks, Zoro fell to the ground powerlessly.

Al covered his head helplessly, sighing in his heart that Zoro always had to be injured at the beginning of every battle before he could really explode.

He turned to Chopper and said, "Chopper, they are almost done fighting, prepare some herbs to stop the bleeding and bandage him later."

"No, the battle is over." Mr. 1 poked Zoro's body with his toes and threatened: "Tell me how Bora and the others are doing, otherwise I will kill this swordsman."

"The best is yet to come, Mr. 1. It's not a good habit to open champagne at halftime!"

As soon as Al finished speaking, Zoro, who was lying on the ground, suddenly avoided Mr. 1's feet, stood up shakily, with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.

"Given his current state, do you think there is still hope?" Mr. 1 raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at the way Zoro barely seemed to be able to stand, "Then I will make you completely despair."

After saying that, he used Dust Slash towards Zoro's position, intending to defeat Zoro completely.

However, at this moment, Zoro sheathed his sword and shouted in a deep voice: "Ittoryu Iai Lion's Elegy."

Following this shout, the two of them crossed each other like lightning, so fast that it was hard to keep up.

Just when others thought everything was settled, the situation took a turn.

Zoro's blade left a deep mark on Mr. 1's seemingly indestructible steel body, and this blow actually defeated Mr. 1 directly.

"Congratulations, Zoro, you have reached the realm of iron-slashing." El clapped his hands and congratulated Zoro. At the same time, he turned to Chopper and said, "Chopper, stop the bleeding for him."

Luffy clapped his hands excitedly and said proudly, "You are worthy of being my partner. Great, Zoro!"

Dashigi approached Mr. 1's body and carefully examined the deep scar that was visible to the bone, with doubt and admiration flashing in her eyes: "Is this the realm of cutting iron?"

Zoro stood there quietly, his breathing a little rapid, sweat and blood mixed together and sliding down his cheeks, but the expression on his face was unprecedentedly firm and satisfied.

With the joint efforts of Kaya and Chopper, Zoro's body was wrapped in bandages and his injuries were preliminarily treated.

After properly settling Mr. 1, Al locked up the other members of the Baroque Studio on top of the water tower.

Standing on the water tower, his eyes traveled across the vast field of vision and caught a glimpse of smoke rising in the distance.

In the smoke and dust, a gigantic land turtle, like a moving fortress, was slowly walking towards them.

Al muttered to himself, "It seems that Lao Sha is preparing his plan. He even sent a mount car over."

After walking down the water tower, Al began to gather everyone to prepare to set off.

The group sat in the car pulled by the land turtle and headed towards Lao Sha's base in the rain.

During the journey, Al suddenly asked: "Luffy, have you realized Haki?"

Luffy scratched his head and laughed, "I haven't mastered it yet. It's a little too difficult."

"Then let me deal with Crocodile this time. Without Haki, you can't touch the body of the user of the nature-type fruit ability." Al explained.

Luffy scratched his head after hearing his words and said, "You're right. I can't touch him right now. So I'll leave it to you to beat him up."

They rode in a turtle car and entered Crocodile's secret base through a hidden back door.

When Robin saw the people getting off the car, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, "Why are you here? Where are the members of Baroque Studio?"
