Chapter 378 The battle officially begins

When Zoro and others entered the town, Luffy was already feasting at the banquet.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. Come on Zoro Sanji!"

Luffy was eating when he suddenly saw Zoro and his group. He quickly stretched out his right hand and grabbed a huge barbecue and waved to them.

"Uh, forget it, Luffy is like this anyway."

"Barbecue, here I come."

After Usopp realized that there was indeed no danger nearby, he smelled the smell of barbecue in the air and quickly ran to Luffy.

"Yes, you can only proceed to the next step if you have a full stomach."

Zoro gently pressed his right hand on the trembling Wadou Ichimonji. He glanced at the woods in the distance without trace, took a bottle of wine, and found a chair to sit down.

Brother Sauron was seen joining in.

Johnny and Joseph naturally would not fall behind and followed Sauron closely.

Ah Jin followed Ye Fan step by step and sat on the right side of Luffy, while Nami sat on the left side of Luffy.

After watching all the Luffy pilots join the banquet, the white-bearded old man showed a strange smile, then clapped his hands and brought in a lot of food and drinks.

As the sky gradually darkened, some of the people after the dinner were already drowsy, while others had already fallen into a deep sleep after eating the food with added ingredients.

Wow! ! !

Hearing the clear sound coming from the woods, Zoro opened his eyes instantly, then stood up silently and walked towards the woods.

Zoro opened his eyes as soon as he left Sanji.

This trial was prepared for the three of them, so most of the food eaten by the others had added ingredients. Only Luffy accidentally ate some while grabbing other food.

But no problem, even if Luffy eats some spiced food, he will find a way to wake him up.

"Green Algae Head, you really left without being polite."

. . .

Within a moment, Zoro arrived at the outskirts of the woods, and he, who was always bold, went straight in.

After walking for a while, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

Choking! ! !

Zoro suddenly stopped and pulled out the sword and Taoist text from his waist.

"Since you want to lure me here, why haven't you shown up yet?"

During this period of time, Sauron has been training himself to adapt to the soaring power in his body as quickly as possible.

So now he is almost the same as he was after a year of training in the original work, and even far beyond it. He has already stepped on the threshold of a great swordsman.

Directly in front of Sauron was a dense forest, and a figure could be vaguely seen flickering.

"Roronoa Zoro, I heard that you were a pirate hunter before. I wonder if your swordsmanship is worthy of your strength."

Batonar slowly appeared in front of Sauron with a long sword in his hand.

Seeing the enemy appear in front of him, but not knowing his purpose, Zoro still did not go directly to the three swords style.

"What do you want to do after spending so much effort?"

"In Batonar, I heard that there is an unknown swordsman in the East China Sea. He was able to survive a brief battle with the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, so he came here to ask for advice."

The reason why I say this is because by the time he grew up, Hawkeye had already separated from the Carl Pirates.

Except for some top figures, few people know that Hawkeye is a member of the Carl Pirates.

He had once challenged Hawkeye before, but failed miserably. Now he accidentally heard that someone could survive under Hawkeye's sword, which made him interested. Being able to find an evenly matched opponent would be a good choice for those who want to reach the top. It is a dream come true for swordsmen.

"So you are here to challenge."

Zoro heard his purpose and slowly took out the other two long swords from his waist, namely the 51st sword of the good sword - Yukizai, and the third generation of ghosts.

"Forget it."

Batonar bent his knees slightly and held the long sword firmly with both hands. His long sword was the family's standard long sword and was extremely sharp. Only under the Supreme Great Fast Sword, and due to his years of maintenance, it is already in a semi-black sword form.

"One sword style - chop!"

This is the first move that all swordsmen learn when they step into the realm of swordsmen. It can emit a stream of transparent sword energy, causing a cutting effect on the enemies in front.

But since Batonar's strength is at the standard lieutenant general level, even the simplest moves give Zoro a powerful sense of authority. Before the sword move can reach in front of him, Sauron's face is already blown by the strong wind. Blow deformation.

"Three Sword Styles·Ghost Slayer!"

Not to be outdone, Sauron leapt into the air and attacked Batonar!

As for the sword energy in front of him, even if it was powerful, Sauron did not take him seriously because the sword energy could not turn.

The sword energy that Sauron dodged swept across the woods behind him, and large trees were cut in half with a rumble.

"Interesting, a bit capable."

Batonar naturally would not despise every opponent of his. He held the sword on one side of his body and slashed horizontally.

In a flash of lightning, Sauron's sword edge rubbed against Batonar's sword.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere, and a sword mark was cut on Batonar's side. A trace of blood seeped out, and he suffered some skin injuries.

"I take back what I just said. You are not only good, you are also a respectable opponent."

Batonar didn't expect that he would be injured even though he had dodged Sauron's attack, which made him concentrate even more.

"Your strength isn't bad either!"

Sauron could clearly feel that Batonar's power was far superior to his, and even Xue Zou had slight slashes on his body.

hum! ! !

He had just bought the long sword, and he couldn't afford to watch the two swords shatter again. The black energy in his right hand kept twisting, and the three long swords instantly turned pitch black.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect your sword to be so weak."

Batonar's seemingly humble words actually meant something, and directly pointed out that Sauron had not taken good care of his sword.

Every sword is the swordsman's most loyal friend and will not be easily damaged.

"Do you only talk about being a hero?"

"Three Sword Style·Tiger Hunting!"

After the first attack failed, Sauron immediately launched a second attack. In an instant, the sharp sword light filled the air, as if the air was no longer air, but an unfathomable pool of water in the middle of the night.

"Yes, this is the attack used by a decent swordsman."

Batonar has not seen such a swordsman for a long time.

With excitement gleaming in his eyes, he held the knife in both hands and stabbed at the center point where the three knives met like lightning.

when!

The tip of the sword just blocked Sauron's sprint, preventing the Tiger Hunter from being released.

The situation was stiff for a moment, then immediately changed.

After the duel with Hawkeye, Sauron knew that he would definitely encounter a more powerful swordsman in the future.

In the meantime, he meditated every day, what were the shortcomings in his sword moves, and how to reverse the situation when his attack was hindered or others found shortcomings that he had not noticed yet.

So Sauron had expected this situation.
