Chapter 467: The Black-Clothed Swordsman

Usopp and Chopper supported each other and walked out of the cave with difficulty. Their figures gradually disappeared in the darkness of the cave, while in another mysterious place, Zoro and Kuina were experiencing a thrilling battle.

Zoro and Kuina stood side by side in an empty valley, surrounded by a murderous atmosphere. Suddenly, ten swordsmen in black robes appeared like ghosts, their black robes rustling in the wind, and the swords in their hands emitted a cold light.

Zoro frowned and his eyes became extremely sharp. He held the three swords in his hands and whispered to Kuina, "It looks like we're in trouble, Kuina, get ready for a fight." He squatted slightly, ready for battle, his feet firmly rooted in the ground, every muscle tensed, showing a powerful explosive power.

Kuina clenched the sword in her hand, her eyes firm: "Hmph, we are not afraid of any number of them." Her body swayed lightly, like a leaf dancing in the wind, seemingly weak but full of resilience.

A black-robed swordsman took the lead in launching an attack. He flashed and rushed towards Zoro like lightning. The sword in his hand turned into a cold light and pierced Zoro's throat. Zoro's eyes were stern, and he quickly drew his sword: "Three Swords Style? Demon Slash!" His three swords drew a sharp arc in the air, bringing up a strong airflow, colliding with the black-robed swordsman's sword, making a harsh metal friction sound.

Seeing this, the other black-robed sword masters also took action. They split into two groups, one group attacked Zoro, and the other rushed towards Kuina. Kuina faced the enemy's attack without fear. She dodged flexibly and avoided the enemy's frontal attack, then backhanded her sword: "Thirty-six Troubled Winds!" She swung her sword quickly, turning into sword energy and shooting towards the black-robed sword masters. The black-robed sword masters quickly used their swords to resist, but several of them were still scratched by the sword energy.

Zoro was outnumbered but not at all outmatched. He used his three swords like an arm, constantly changing his moves. "Three Swords Style? Tiger Hunting!" He pounced on the enemy like a tiger, waving his three swords crosswise to form a huge "X" shape attack, forcing the approaching black-robed swordsman back.

The black-robed sword masters seemed to be enraged by Zoro and Kuina's strength, and they began to work together to perform a strange sword formation. Ten sword masters quickly rotated around Zoro and Kuina, and their swords emitted black light, which intertwined with each other to form a huge sword net, covering Zoro and Kuina.

Zoro and Kuina stood back to back, looking at the sword nets around them warily. Zoro shouted, "Kuina, let's break this sword formation together!" Kuina nodded and responded, "Okay!"

Zoro took a deep breath and covered the three swords with his domineering aura: "Three Swords Style? One Big? Three Thousand? The Great World!" He jumped high and slashed the three swords fiercely at the sword net. The powerful force made the air around them tremble. Kuina also used her strongest move: "Seven Star Sword? Shine!" Seven bright stars appeared on her sword, and as she swung the sword, the starlight shot towards the sword net.

The attacks of both of them collided with the sword net, making a loud noise that shook the earth. Light and energy intertwined, illuminating the entire valley. The sword net had some cracks under their attacks, but it was not completely broken.

The black-robed swordsmen took the opportunity to launch a more violent attack. They thrust their swords at Zoro and Kuina from all directions. Zoro and Kuina fought back with all their might. They both had some wounds on their bodies, and their clothes were stained with blood.

"Damn, these guys are hard to deal with." Zoro said through gritted teeth, fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"We can't give up, Zoro." Kuina said, her eyes still firm.

The two sides fell into a stalemate. Although Zoro and Kuina were injured, they relied on their tenacious will and strong strength to fight against the black-robed swordsmen. The black-robed swordsmen were unable to break through their defenses. The two sides just stood there, and neither of them was willing to give in.

In the fierce battle, Zoro suddenly found that there seemed to be a tiny flaw in the sword formation of the black-robed swordsmen. He winked at Kuina, and Kuina understood. Zoro rushed towards the flaw, his speed was extremely fast, like a black lightning. The black-robed swordsmen wanted to stop him, but were blocked by Kuina.

"Three sword styles? Secret? Three thousand worlds!" Zoro shouted, and he concentrated all his strength on this move. The three swords slashed towards the flaw with the power of destroying the world. The black-robed swordsmen felt this powerful force, and they wanted to change the sword formation, but it was too late.

Zoro's attack successfully broke the sword formation, and the black-robed swordsmen were knocked back a few steps by the powerful impact. But they did not panic, but quickly adjusted their status and attacked Zoro and Kuina again.

Kuina looked at the approaching enemy, she took a deep breath, and prepared to perform a new sword technique. A mysterious aura surrounded her body, and her sword began to glow, as if it had merged with her. "Tianyuan Sword Technique? Star Break!" Her sword drew a complex pattern in the air, and then countless starlight poured out from the pattern and shot towards the black-robed swordsmen.

The black-robed swordsmen used their swords to block the starlight, but the power of the starlight was too strong and some of them could not resist it. Zoro took the opportunity to launch another attack: "Three Swords Style? One Hundred Eight Trouble Wind!" His three swords swung quickly, forming countless sword energy, and attacked the black-robed swordsmen together with Kuina's starlight.

Under the joint attack of the two, the black-robed swordsmen were severely damaged. But they still did not give up, and their eyes were full of determination to fight. The two sides once again fell into a fierce battle, with swords intersecting and sparks flying.

After a long battle, Zoro and Kuina's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and the black-robed swordsmen were also seriously injured. Both sides realized that if they continued to fight like this, they might die together.

Zoro looked at the black-robed swordsmen and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

The black-robed swordsmen did not answer. They just looked at Zoro and Kuina silently, and the hostility in their eyes did not diminish.

Kuina said to Zoro: "It seems that they will not give up easily. We have to find a way to get rid of them."

Zoro nodded: "Well, let's find a chance to leave."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky. There seemed to be a mysterious power in the light, which made everyone present feel a little nervous. After seeing the light, the black-robed swordsmen seemed a little afraid and began to slowly retreat.

Zoro and Kuina took the opportunity to leave the battle and ran in the opposite direction of the light. They didn't know what the light was, but they knew that they had to leave here now, go back to meet up with Luffy and others, and tell everyone about the situation here...

As they ran, they kept looking back to make sure the black-robed swordsman hadn't caught up. Zoro panted and said to Kuina, "This was really thrilling. Those guys are very strong."

Kuina nodded: "Yes, we must recover our strength as soon as possible and prepare for the next battle."
