Zoro's pupils dilated in disbelief.
"This guy…"
His mind kept recalling the scene of Bai Yu's attack just now. The moment that man held the knife, his whole aura changed, and he disappeared at that moment.
On that blade.
Quickly surrounded by dark red flames.
The whole person was like an evil ghost, carrying scorching hot flames, sweeping towards the bullets.
His intuition told him.
Although the man in front of him looked handsome and had a harmless smile, he was actually an extremely dangerous guy.
Moreover, his swordsmanship is as good as mine.
"Your swordsmanship is very strong!"
Zoro instantly became interested, and even though he was still tied up, he was still eager to try. As a swordsman, he always wanted to challenge other kendo masters.
"So cool!"
"Bai Yu, you can actually use fire!"
Luffy, who knocked Bellemer away, instantly stretched out his hands and wrapped them around Bai Yu's neck, with an excited look on his face.
It was the first time he saw Bai Yu take action.
And the flame sword technique just now was so cool: "Hey, Bai Yu, please teach me!"
Bai Yu had a helpless look on his face. He held up the Tsukimi wine in his hand high to prevent the careless Luffy from being scratched by the blade. He looked at Luffy who was hanging on his body with starry eyes.
"We'll talk about it later."
"ah?"
"But I also want to have fire moves!"
Luffy seemed a little depressed.
"Now is not the time."
"Zoro is still tied up there!" Bai Yu pointed at Zoro and said, "Aren't you looking for a partner?"
Luffy looked at Zoro and suddenly realized something. He then withdrew his arm from Bai Yu's neck and said, "Yes! I almost forgot. I'm here to find a partner to go on an adventure together."
"Let me help you untie it first."
Luffy came in front of Zoro, and started to untie himself, his hands moving flexibly.
However…something went a little wrong.
"It's getting tighter, asshole!"
"Is this guy reliable?" Zoro couldn't help but roar, the rope on his hand was hurting him.
"Private Marseille!"
Luffy scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally found that he couldn't untie it, so he had to bite the rope with his upper teeth, looked at Zoro and smiled: "Alright!"
After regaining freedom.
Zoro immediately moved his neck and wrists.
"Hello!"
"Do you want to be my partner?" Luffy looked at Zoro in front of him and showed his big white teeth.
"Rather than die here."
"I might as well become a pirate with you guys!"
Zoro glanced at Belumebear who was lying on the ground and fell into a coma. It seemed that he was now completely sworn enemies with the navy, except for being a pirate.
It seems that I have no other choice.
"Very good!"
"You are willing to be my partner!" Luffy danced with joy: "Great, great!"
"This idiot…"
As Zoro spoke, he looked at Bai Yu and Luffy standing in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"It's not impossible for me to be your partner."
"Since we have to fight the navy, I will become a villain in a legitimate way. However, let me say this first. My only ambition is…"
"I will definitely follow through to the end!"
"My name is Roronoa Zoro, and my goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman. If you prevent me from achieving this ambition, then…"
"You should just commit seppuku to make amends to me!"
Luffy was happy that he had recruited another partner: "The world's greatest swordsman?"
"Hahaha, that's pretty good!"
"As a partner of the Pirate King, this is the least you should do, don't you think so, Bai Yu?"
"You're right." Bai Yu responded and introduced himself to Sauron: "My name is Bai Yu, I'm a traveler. Actually, my dream is very simple."
"As a pirate."
"To sail around the world's islands."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that I have a ship of my own, or a ship that can carry me."
"I have found it now."
Zoro glanced at the Tsukimi wine that Bai Yu was carrying on his shoulder, and his fingers rubbed twice subconsciously.
If I had a knife in my hand…
Only then can his heart feel a little more at peace.
At this time.
A panicked voice came from a distance.
"Oh no!"
Panting, Coby shouted as he ran: "Mr. Luffy, Mr. Shirahisa, I see a large number of navy troops coming towards the training ground!"
"Let's run!"
It turned out that Coby had found the wrong direction before and did not find Shirahisa and Luffy, but unexpectedly saw Colonel Monka gathering soldiers and rushing towards the parade ground.
After hesitating for a long time.
Kirby came running over to tip off.
Hearing this, Bai Yu turned around and saw that as soon as Coby arrived, the navy officers followed closely.
"How dare you go wild on my territory!"
"Are you tired of living?"
A tall man with an iron axe embedded in his right hand and even his chin made of iron, entered the parade ground with a group of soldiers in a menacing manner.
There was no doubt that it was Colonel Monka.
turn out to be.
He saw the scene on the training ground and Bellemer's coma in his office.
Monka immediately summoned the naval soldiers.
Then he led them to surround the parade ground.
Lijia was so frightened that she took two steps back, the rice ball in her hand fell to the ground, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Zoro frowned immediately, walked to the soldier who had been knocked down by Bai Yu before, took two standard swords of the navy in his hands, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
"Kirby."
Luffy pressed down the straw hat on his head and glanced at the horrified Coby: "Take your little sister and leave."
"Okay…Okay."
"Then you have to be careful." Coby also knew that he could not be of any help here.
All he can do now is to protect Lijia.
"You arrogant brat who looks down on everyone!"
"Do you think I don't exist?" Monka was furious: "Soldiers, kill them!"
The naval soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed. Bai Yu's eyes focused and his right hand pressed on the hilt of Jianyuejiu's knife.
"Luffy, get ready to take action!"
The words just fell.
"Whoosh!"
Bai Yu felt a flash before his eyes, and a black shadow instantly appeared in front of everyone.
"Rubber-rubber-balloon!"
This person is none other than the stupid Luffy.
He took a deep breath, and his originally thin body miraculously swelled up.
Just at this moment.
The navy soldiers also pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang—"
Flames suddenly came out from the muzzle of the musket, and dense bullets were fired at him, but they were all blocked by Luffy's body at this moment.
Luffy seemed like a human-shaped balloon.
"What!?"
Looking at this scene, even Zoro, who had seen Luffy's abilities before, still found it a little unbelievable.
"I'm always so reckless…"
Bai Yu shook his head, and then his eyes turned cold. He rushed towards the navy while the navy had not yet reacted, and put his right hand on the hilt of Yue Jianjiu's knife.
"One Sword Style: Moonlight Slash!"
Clang——!
The cold moonlight flashed by, and the moment the blade passed by, the barrels of all the soldiers' guns broke and fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and the whole place was silent again.
Monka's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
The soldiers were terrified and took several steps back, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
"The gun…the barrel was cut off!"
"How is that possible!"
"What kind of monsters are they? Not only can bullets not penetrate their bodies, but they even have a swordsman!"
Monka was also startled, he couldn't even see the other person's figure clearly, but he quickly came to his senses.
"That boy in the straw hat is a user of the Devil Fruit. Bullets are ineffective."
"Then use your swords to kill them!"
