Chapter 928 The Power of Love
...
"Ouch!"
The three-headed hellhound attacked again, also using the three-sword style. A sword blade grew out of each of its three heads' mouths, and it attacked from different directions in a "split" manner.
Zoro first slid sideways to avoid the attack from the two dog-headed men on the left and right, then jumped up, put the two swords behind his back, and swung hard at the dog-headed man in the middle!
"Three Swords Style: Tiger Hunting!!"
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
The collision between the blade and the sharp canine teeth made a unique sound of steel. Zoro did not stop. He exerted force and the two swords in his hands, with sparks flying, passed through the corners of the three-headed dog's mouth and accurately cut its neck!
"Ding Dong!"
Another crisp sound!
Zoro couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect that the three-headed dog's body was equally hard. The black swords Qiu Shui and Xue Liu didn't even leave a mark on its neck!
"Foolish! Cerberus is the sword itself! Such an attack is futile."
Shamrock was calm but with a hint of disdain.
"Hoo-hoo, huh?"
Zoro gasped.
The situation at this moment reminded him of the battle he had at that moment in Alabasta with Mr. 1 Dazbonis, the user of the Quick-Slashing Fruit whose entire body could transform into blades.
"I think I've already figured out how to cut through steel!"
Zoro caught his breath, then got back into position and prepared to fight.
...
"Boom!"
In the sky
The devil's wind kick and the thorn mace collided violently, and wood chips and sparks flew everywhere!
"Wow, it's pretty hard!"
Tiny cracks began to appear on the mace in Saint Somaz's hand, but the resilient thorn vines quickly repaired themselves by growing.
"boom!"
After a brief stalemate, Sanji was knocked back by the mace!
"So strong!"
Sanji spun in the air a few times before falling back to the ground.
"Hehehe! You only have this little bit of energy. Didn't you eat?"
Saint Somaz laughed as he picked up his mace.
"Come to think of it, summoning me here right after dinner is really... Never mind, just treat it as an after-dinner exercise!"
"hateful!"
After taking a look at the injured Luffy and then at Zoro who was fighting with the three-headed hellhound, Sanji's eyes became more serious.
After two years of training in hell, their strength has become many times stronger than it was two years ago. They were confident that they would be able to deal with any enemy they encountered calmly. They didn't expect to encounter such a difficult enemy before they officially set sail!
"You're such a mess! You're so arrogant and think you've become strong enough!"
Sanji stood there and calmly lit a cigarette for himself and sighed.
"Hey, hey, what? Have you given up yet?"
Saint Somaz asked with a smile.
"Hey Luffy! Zoro! Sanji! Don't be afraid! We're coming!"
"Ah! Don't come over here! This guy's abilities are dangerous!"
Seeing Nami, Robin, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates, Uta, and the transvestite masters about to step forward to help, Sanji hurriedly shouted to stop them.
"Hehehe, giving up is the wisest choice. The more you struggle, the more painful it is! This is the power of thorns!"
Saint Somaz stretched out his hand and admired the small thorn growing from his palm with an intoxicated expression.
"Hoo~~!"
Sanji slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke and grinned.
"Are you kidding me? How could I abandon my companions? Just a few spikes!"
After saying that, Sanji stepped on the cigarette butt, walked forward and forcibly picked Luffy up from the ground!
His back felt like it was pierced by countless sharp iron needles at the same time, and was instantly stained red with blood. However, Sanji carried Luffy on his back without saying a word and walked back with difficulty.
With every step he took, intense pain came like a tide, making him frown. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face turned as pale as paper.
"That... Baka!"
Zoro couldn't help but curse, but his eyes were full of manly recognition.
"Humph! Do you still have time to care about others?"
Shamrock swung the hilt of the sword in his hand, and Cerberus' three heads began to spin rapidly like electric drills, attacking with even more ferocious force!
...
"Hey Sanji! Put me down quickly! You'll die if you keep going like this!"
Luffy shouted anxiously.
"Stop moving, Luffy! It hurts!"
Sanji complained with a smile.
"Sanji..."
Luffy's tears fell, but he didn't dare to move.
"Sanji! Sanji-kun!"
Everyone shouted worriedly at the same time.
"Great, really great! This is the perfect thorn of love! Hahahaha!"
Saint Somaz laughed heartily with satisfaction.
"Idiot! The power of love is much stronger than any thorn!"
Sanji raised his head and retorted loudly.
"Can you still talk nonsense? Then go to hell!"
"Jinghun!"
Saint Somaz slapped his hand on the ground, and several sharp thorns instantly grew out of the ground under Sanji's feet and stabbed towards him!
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a figure quickly approached, a pair of slippers making a crisp sound on the floor! In just a few steps, it leaped from a thousand meters away and came close!
"Yeah!"
With a flash of cold light, the thorn was cut in half!
"Pluto Rayleigh?!"
Somazisheng looked surprised.
"Mr. Ray... Rayleigh!"
After seeing who was coming, Sanji's expression relaxed a little, and he sat down on the ground directly due to exhaustion.
"I'm so sorry, Rayleigh! You have to see this scene right after you arrive."
Luffy said in embarrassment.
"Haha, don't worry about it. The Knights of God are the strongest military backing of the Celestial Dragons. It's still a little early for you to face such an opponent now."
Rayleigh smiled and comforted him, then drew his sword and slashed directly at Luffy.
"Ah! What are you doing!"
Sanji was shocked but it was too late to stop him.
"Click~!"
The blade with black lightning passed in front of Luffy's eyes, and the invisible thorns shattered!
"Haha, alright, please take Luffy to treat his injuries first, Chef."
Rayleigh smiled easily, but Sanji was almost scared to death. He thought that the Rayleigh in front of him was fake like the red-haired guy.
"Long time no see, Somaz."
"Hey, you're really in the Golden City!"
Somazsheng had already retreated to his teammates, completely losing his previous calmness.
"Hillbaz Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates!"
Shamrock narrowed his eyes and warned in a deep voice.
"Are you sure you want to become an enemy of the World Government again?"
"That's right! As a remnant of the old days, it's good enough that the World Government doesn't actively cause trouble for you. Why don't you cherish your retired life and come out to meddle in other people's affairs?"
Saint Somaz also said this.
"Haha, I also hope to live a completely retired life and not be disturbed anymore."
Rayleigh smiled helplessly.
"But you guys have come to my doorstep, and I have no choice but to take action."
"Why waste your time talking to him? He's just an old man. How can he really fight?"
The young Kirin Gom was about to step forward, but was stopped by Saint Somaz.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Somaz cleared his throat and continued.
"Ahem! Our targets this time are Tesoro and the Golden City crew, who have committed unforgivable crimes. We don't have time to bother with a retired pirate right now. The Golden City will soon be reduced to ruins and completely disappear from the sea. You still have time to leave now! Rayleigh."
"I'm sorry, my current identity is a security guard in Golden City."
Rayleigh shook his head and continued.
"Besides, the consequences of not taking action might be more serious than becoming an enemy of the World Government."
"What? Security? Is this why you're choosing to stay and be buried with the Golden City?"
Saint Somazi looked surprised.
"What an unwise choice! Could it be that Tesoro has some shameful evidence against you?"
"Hahaha, unwise? I think the World Government has made a really stupid decision this time!"
Rayleigh said seriously.
"Erase the Golden City? You have no idea what that means!"
Shamrock couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
