Chapter 42 Nami

After Luffy and Buggy became brothers, they started to fight each other.

Zoro was drinking while watching Luffy, Buggy, and the members of Buggy's pirate group fooling around.

Just then Kabachi walked up to Zoro.

"Is there a problem?"

Zoro looked at Kabachi standing in front of him and spoke.

"Um, Roronoa Zoro"

"No, Brother Zoro, please teach me swordsmanship."

Kabachi knelt down and asked Zoro to teach him swordsmanship. Although he was also a swordsman, he only practiced acrobatic swordsmanship.

He had never really practiced swordsmanship, so he wanted Zoro to teach him swordsmanship.

If it were in the past, he would not care at all, because his swordsmanship was more than enough in the East China Sea, which was known as the weakest sea.

But one day Buggy will go to the new world, and he must become stronger to help Buggy in the future.

"Oh, you want me to teach you swordsmanship"

Zoro also felt a little strange when he heard Kabachi's words.

Kabachi used two swords, while he used three swords, so Zoro asked himself if he was qualified to teach Kabachi.

Of course, both the Three Swords Style and the Two Swords Style are sword techniques, and their principles are the same.

But Zoro, who is not even a Zantetsu Swordsman yet, doesn't know anything about it, so he thinks he is not suitable to teach Kabachi.

"You use two swords, and I use three swords."

"So I don't have anything to teach you, you should ask someone else to teach you."

After thinking about it, Zoro rejected Kabachi's request.

"Zoro, actually all swordsmen are the same, whether it's dual-sword style or triple-sword style."

Ling Tian heard the conversation between Zoro and Kabachi and told Zoro the basics of swordsmanship.

Whether it is no-sword flow, one-sword flow, two-sword flow, three-sword flow, four-sword flow, etc., the essence of a knife is sharpness and speed.

"Are you trying to say that you know more about swords than I do?"

Sauron was a little unhappy when he heard Ling Tian's words.

Because Zoro has only seen Ling Tian use the swordless style, and Ling Tian has always been harmless in front of Zoro and Luffy.

Therefore, Zoro does not think that his swordsmanship will lose to Lingtian. He wants to become the world's greatest swordsman.

"Zoro, your sword is too sharp. The sharper the sword, the better."

Ling Tian was not angry when he heard Zoro mocking his swordsmanship for not being as good as his. After all, he knew how strong his swordsmanship was better than anyone else.

"Then, fight me. If you can beat me, I will admit that you know more about swordsmanship than I do."

Zoro did not refute Ling Tian's words, but planned to fight with Ling Tian. After all, both of them are swordsmen and they are on the same pirate ship, so there must be a winner.

"Want to fight with me?"

A powerful aura burst out from Ling Tian.

This is not the domineering aura, it is just the sharpness of Ling Tian as a swordsman.

After all, Ling Tian is now the world's number one swordsman who is even more powerful than Mihawk. The sharpness he exudes is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Kabachi, who was standing by, had already fainted.

What surprised Ling Tian was that not only did Zoro not faint, but he also managed to move his body with his strong willpower.

Maybe this is talent. In the original work, Zoro's talent in swordsmanship has already been destined to make him the world's greatest swordsman in the future.

Although Zoro had not yet become the world's greatest swordsman when Lingtian traveled through time, both Lingtian himself and the majority of Haimi believed that Zoro could become the world's greatest swordsman.

"Even after seeing such a huge gap, do you still want to fight me?"

Although Ling Tian knew that Zoro would not retreat, he still asked Zoro kindly.

"Ah, even though I see such a huge gap, I still want to compete with you."

"I will not fail in a place like this. I will definitely become the world's greatest swordsman."

Seeing that Zoro was so determined, Ling Tian also pulled out the lightning and flowing blades from his waist.

"Hmm, what a sharp knife."

"Are your two swords the Twelve Supreme Swords?"

Apart from the legendary Twelve Great Swords of Supreme Sharpness, Zoro really couldn't imagine what level the two swords in Ling Tian's hands were.

Even Zoro had seen a huge sword, but even a huge sword was not as sharp as the one in Ling Tian's hand.

The reason why Zoro couldn't tell the grade of Ling Tian's sword before was because Ling Tian's scabbard was specially made, which could completely hide the aura of the sword.

This is also why Zoro previously thought Ling Tian was just a mediocre swordsman.

"No, these two swords have no levels, or rather, these two swords have already surpassed the levels of this world."

Ling Tian also explained to Zoro the special nature of his sword, but Ling Tian did not intend to use the abilities of these two swords this time.

Ling Tian intends to compete with Zoro in swordsmanship.

"Yeah"

"Then the next move will decide the outcome, okay?"

After hearing Ling Tian's words, Zoro did not ask any more questions, but planned to decide the outcome with Ling Tian in one move.

"it is good"

Ling Tian also agreed to let Zoro decide the outcome with one sword. After all, he and Zoro were just having a simple sparring match, not a life-and-death duel.

After hearing Ling Tian's words, Zoro crossed the handles of his two swords in front of his chest and began to spin.

“Nine mountains and eight seas make up one world”

"Gathering thousands of worlds together makes a 'small thousand worlds'"

Zoro twirled the sword in his hand while chanting a poem.

"One sea and one sword, one world"

"Merge all the seas and swords into a great world"

Ling Tian posed with his hands covering the knife, posing like an eagle, and also recited a poem

"This world is multiplied by three"

"Nothing I do not cut"

……

“Purge the world of evil”

"Kill all evil"

……

"Three Swords Style - Secret"

"One Big, Three Thousand"

……

"Use the sword in your hand to transform into a posture of judgment"

"Use the sword in your hand to determine the good and evil in your heart"

……

"Wide World"

……

"Dual Sword Style - Secret Technique - Sword World Judgment"

Ling Tian and Sauron rushed towards each other after reciting my poem.

"Bangdang..."

"Pfft..."

Just like when Zoro dealt with Kabachi, except for the Wado Ichimonji that Zoro was biting, the two swords in his hands instantly broke into several pieces.

"Now you know the difference between us."

"Ah, but one day I will defeat you"

Zoro put the Wado Ichimonji in his hand back into the scabbard, saying with some reluctance.

Although he knew that there was definitely some gap between him and Ling Tian, ​​Zoro did not expect their gap to be so big.

Zoro could feel that Ling Tian restrained his strength at the last moment, otherwise he might have to go see Kuina.

"Isn't it your dream to defeat me?"

Ling Tian put Lightning and Flowing Blade into the scabbard and spoke.

"what?"

When Zoro heard Ling Tian’s words, he was a little bit unconvinced. He thought he must have been hallucinating.

"Roronoa Zoro, I am the speed sword ghost with a bounty of 53 billion berries, Dockre D. Lingtian."

"He is also the world's greatest swordsman."

"Try to surpass me, Roronoa Zoro"

Ling Tian scattered the photos of himself defeating Mihawk on the ground.

Zoro looked at the photos on the ground with some disbelief. He knew that Mihawk was no longer the world's greatest swordsman.

But Zoro didn't expect that he would meet the world's greatest swordsman here in the East China Sea.

Zoro did not doubt Ling Tian's words because he saw a bounty warrant besides the photo of Ling Tian and Mihawk fighting.

The reward notice reads

"Speed ​​Sword Ghost, Dockre D. Lingtian"

"Bounty of 53 billion berries"

“No matter life or death”

A person who can get such a bounty would not cheat himself. After all, big men all have their own pride.

If Ling Tian knew what Zoro was thinking, he would definitely tell Zoro that he was thinking too much. All the big shots on the sea are funny.

"I will definitely surpass you"

After looking at the photos and bounty order that Ling Tian threw out, Zoro looked at Ling Tian firmly.

"I'm waiting for the day when you surpass me"

Ling Tian believed that even if he was the world's top swordsman, Zoro could still surpass him and become the world's number one swordsman.

……

"Captain, we caught this woman in the treasure vault"

A crew member of the Buggy Pirates brought a woman with orange hair wearing a blue and white top and an orange skirt.

i wipe

Isn't this Nami?

Ling Tian was a little surprised to see the people brought up by the Buggy Pirates crew.

Logically speaking, I have already warned Aaron, so Nami shouldn't be here again.

In fact, what Ling Tian didn't know was that after Aaron came to Kokosia Village, he still collected berries in exchange for the lives of the villagers like the original author.

The only difference was that after Aaron saw Nami and the other three, he remembered that Ling Tian had told him before that he was not allowed to hurt these four people.

Therefore, Aaron did not kill Bellmère because he did not have enough Berry like in the original book.

"Do you want to steal Captain Buggy's treasure?"

When Bucky heard that someone actually wanted to steal his treasure, he immediately became angry. For a treasure lover, this was absolutely intolerable.

"That woman is an excellent navigator."

Ling Tian saw Nami whispering in Luffy's ear.

"Really"

When Luffy heard that Nami was a navigator, he immediately planned to invite Nami to join his pirate group.

After all, the Straw Hat Pirates don’t have a navigator yet, and they were just sailing casually before.

Although this is possible, without a good navigator on the sea, the ship might end up in some strange waters.

Ling Tian was not afraid, because Ling Tian was confident in his own strength, so he didn't care where the ship went.

But Luffy and the others can't do that. Luffy is a devil fruit user and if he falls into the sea he will be unable to move.

"Well, you can be my navigator."

When Luffy knew that Nami was a navigator, he immediately jumped in front of Nami and invited her to become his navigator.

"Navigator? Stop kidding, you want me to become a pirate?"

Nami immediately became angry when she heard Luffy's invitation, although Bell-mère was not killed by Arlong as in the original work.

However, after Arlong saw his talent in drawing sea charts, he threatened him with the lives of the villagers of Cocosia Village to join the Arlong Pirates.

"Luffy, if you want a navigator, why don't you just pick one from here, big brother?"

Buggy was immediately unhappy when he saw that Luffy actually invited the woman who stole his treasure to become his navigator.

There are a lot of pirates in his own pirate group who want to be navigators. After all, except for some special cases, most pirates who go out to sea will learn some navigation skills.

"No, Buggy, I want her to be my navigator."

When Luffy heard that Buggy wanted to choose a few navigators for Buggy's pirate group, he immediately refused.

Luffy will make the person he chooses his crew member no matter what.

"All right"

Buggy didn't say anything. After all, he was his younger brother. Even though they had just met, Buggy didn't force his navigator position on Luffy.

"Did you hear me, woman? As my brother's navigator, I will forgive you for stealing my treasure."

In order to please his younger brother, the pirate group's navigator Buggy, he plans not to pursue the matter of Nami stealing his treasure.

After all, this was his first chance to show off his prowess in front of his brother, and he couldn't let Luffy think he was a stingy guy.

After hearing what Buggy said, Nami looked at Luffy and then at Buggy, and a plan emerged in her mind.

"If you want me to be your navigator, that's fine, but you need to do me a favor."

"Nani, you dare to ask me Captain Buggy?"

Now that Buggy's power has greatly increased, not to mention in this small East China Sea, even in the New World where pirates are surging, as long as Buggy waved his hand, countless big pirates would become his crew members.

But the woman in front of him made a request to him, and Bucky immediately wanted to get angry.

"Okay, what's the request?"

Just when Buggy was about to get angry, he heard Luffy wanted to agree to Nami's request and immediately calmed down.

Since his younger brother was going to agree to Nami's request, Buggy couldn't say anything else.

"I want you to help me defeat the captain and officers of the Arlong Pirates."

"As long as you can do this, I will agree to be your navigator."

When Nami heard Luffy was going to agree to her request, she immediately stated her request.

Nami had seen Buggy's bounty before.

Because Buggy had caused a lot of trouble with Kaido in the New World before, Buggy now has a bounty of 10 billion berries.

10 billion berries, many times more than Aaron

So when Luffy invited her to join his pirate group, Nami thought of letting Buggy kill Arlong and his cadres.

"Are the Arlong Pirates very powerful?"

Luffy was a little confused.

"No way, you don't know about the Arlong Pirates."

Zoro was also speechless when he heard Luffy's words. As a pirate from the East China Sea, Luffy didn't even know about the famous Arlong Pirates in the East China Sea.

Just as Zoro was complaining, he felt relieved when he saw the small boat he had been riding in the distance. Luffy probably wouldn't care about these things at all.

"The Dragon Pirates? The fish-man pirates in Dragon Paradise?"

Obviously, Buggy had also heard about the Arlong Pirates, and he also knew what the Arlong Pirates did in Cocosia Village.

However, because it didn't affect him, Buggy didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Arlong Pirates at that time.

After all, there are many such things happening on the sea.
