Chapter 471 Battle

On the other side, Luffy and Zoro encountered unprecedented difficulties in the fierce battle.

Suddenly, several guys with unfathomable strength emerged among the black-robed men. Their attacks were like a surging tide, one wave after another, making Luffy and Zoro overwhelmed and caught in a difficult battle.

A great swordsman in a black robe rushed towards Zoro like a ghost. Black lightning was entwined and intertwined on the sword in his hand, which exuded a strange aura. Each lightning was like a poisonous snake that chose its prey, making a "sizzling" sound. The power contained in it was astonishing.

The black-robed swordsman's eyes were filled with coldness and determination. He leaped high into the air, and slashed down at Zoro with his sword like a black meteor. Black lightning left streaks of afterimages along the path of the blade, as if it was going to tear the space apart.

Zoro's eyes were sharp. He knew very well how powerful the enemy was. Without any hesitation, he immediately used "Three Swords Style? Ashura? Demonic Nine Swords Style? Ashura? Ichimiri Gin".

In an instant, Zoro's momentum surged again like a volcanic eruption, and a powerful aura spread out from him.

He seemed to have merged into one with Asura, and the aura he exuded was like that of a demon from the depths of hell.

The three knives, which were already extremely sharp, turned into deadly weapons in his hands. The knife lights were like silver light curtains, dancing at an almost crazy speed, colliding with the sword of the black-robed swordsman.

Every time the swords collided, brilliant sparks burst out, and those sparks were mixed with black lightning, like flowers of death blooming in the night sky. The fierce duel made the surrounding air become boiling hot, as if they were in a huge furnace.

At the same time, Luffy was surrounded by several black-robed magicians. These black-robed magicians were chanting something, waving their wands to create colorful but dangerous lights. Various elemental magics such as fire, frost, and strong winds were pouring down on Luffy like raindrops.

Luffy's eyes were determined. He quickly activated Gear 2. A layer of yellow light appeared around his body, and his speed and strength increased instantly.

He was like a nimble ghost, shuttling between the gaps in the magic attacks. Those magic attacks flew past his body and left deep holes on the ground.

Luffy dodged while looking for a chance to counterattack. Finally, he spotted a flaw and shouted, "Rubber, rubber? Whip!" His originally slender arms instantly stretched out like a spring, turning into a tough long whip and whipping a black-robed magician.

This whip contained Luffy's powerful strength and was as fast as lightning. With a "snap" sound, the black-robed magician was whipped away like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The battle became more and more intense, and both sides used all their strength. The entire battlefield has entered a white-hot stage. The shouts of killing, the clash of swords, and the roar of magic are intertwined, deafening.

Blood splattered on the battlefield, and many people on both sides were injured. Although the Nine Snakes warriors were female, their bravery was no less than that of men. They fought side by side with the Straw Hat Pirates, waving their weapons constantly, and every attack was accompanied by a determination to die.

Although the enemy is powerful, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Nine Snakes Warriors have no intention of retreating. Their eyes are burning with unyielding fighting spirit and they continue to fight tenaciously.

Kuina kept a close eye on Zoro's situation during the battle. When she saw that Zoro was in danger because of the black-robed great swordsman, she became extremely anxious.

She rushed towards Zoro without hesitation, wanting to lend a helping hand. However, the surrounding black-robed people surged in like a tide, surrounding her and forming an impenetrable human wall.

Kuina frowned, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she shouted: "Everyone hold on!" She raised her sword high in the air and performed a more powerful sword move - "Tianyuan Sword Technique? Galaxy Waterfall". Her sword burst into a dazzling light, as bright as the stars in the Milky Way.

Then, countless sword qi like waterfalls poured down from her sword, sweeping towards the surrounding black-robed people. Wherever the sword qi went, the black-robed people were repelled one after another, and some were even directly pierced by the sword qi and fell to the ground. This powerful sword move temporarily opened a narrow passage in the enemy's encirclement.

Kuina rushed towards the passage without hesitation, running towards Zoro's direction.

At this moment, a black-robed assassin jumped out from the shadows behind her like a ghost, the dagger in his hand flashing with cold light, and stabbed towards Kuina's back.

This attack was fierce and accurate. If it hit, Kuina would definitely die. At the critical moment, a Nine Snake warrior was quick-witted and rushed towards the black-robed assassin without hesitation, blocking the fatal attack with her body.

The dagger pierced deeply into the Nine Snake Warrior's back, and blood instantly dyed her clothes red. She groaned and slowly fell down.

"Thank you!" Kuina's eyes were full of gratitude and guilt. She knew that the Nine Snake Warrior was seriously injured in order to save her. But at this moment, she had no time to stay. She nodded deeply to the Nine Snake Warrior and continued to run towards Zoro.

The battle between Zoro and the black-robed great swordsman has reached a critical moment of life and death. The two swords intersected, and the powerful forces collided with each other, generating a huge shock wave.

The shock wave was like a roaring tsunami, spreading out from them. The surrounding black-robed men and Nine Snake warriors were blown away by this powerful force, their bodies flying through the air and falling like fragile leaves.

Zoro gritted his teeth, veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes burned with an unyielding fire: "I won't lose to you!" He poured his domineering aura into the three swords without reservation, and the already shining blades now exuded a breathtaking power. He exerted force again, gathering all the strength of his body into his arms, and swung them violently.

With a "crack", the seemingly indestructible sword of the black-robed great swordsman was cut off by Zoro's powerful force. Without any hesitation, Zoro slashed at the black-robed great swordsman's body. This sword carried Zoro's anger and determination, and was unstoppable.

The black-robed great swordsman opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness, but he was no longer able to dodge. He was hit by Zoro's sword and his body fell to the ground like a broken sandbag, splashing a cloud of dust.

After dealing with the black-robed swordsman, Zoro looked up and saw Kuina running towards him. The two looked at each other and without further ado, they rushed towards Luffy.

At this time, Luffy had already dealt with most of the black robe magicians with his tenacious will and strong strength, but he also consumed a lot of physical strength. His body was shaking slightly, and sweat soaked his clothes, but his eyes were still firm, like a burning flame.

"Luffy, we're here!" Zoro shouted, his voice clearly audible over the noisy battlefield.

When Luffy saw them, a bright smile appeared on his tired face: "Haha, let's take care of these guys together!" He clenched his fists. Although his physical strength was close to the limit, his fighting spirit was still high.

After the three of them joined together, their powers seemed to merge into one.

They launched a final attack on the remaining black-robed men, and the attack was as fierce as a storm. Luffy's "Rubber Rubber? Elephant Spear", Zoro's "Three Swords Style? Secret? Three Thousand Worlds", and Kuina's "Tengen Sword Technique? Star Break" were all performed at the same time, and the three powerful moves intertwined to form a force that could destroy the world.

The remaining men in black robes were as fragile as ants in the face of this force. They were beaten down one after another without any ability to fight back.

Meanwhile, Ling Tian's battle with the black-robed leader also entered the final decisive stage. The black-robed leader stood behind the black light curtain, muttering something, constantly strengthening the power of the light curtain.

Ling Tian gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing determination and perseverance. After a hard fight, he finally found a flaw in the black light curtain. He shouted: "Spectral Phantom Sword? Speedy Assault!" His body turned into a dazzling light and shadow, rushing towards the black-robed leader like a burning meteor.

The sword in his hand carried great force and fiercely stabbed at the black light curtain. Once, twice, three times... Each attack caused more cracks to appear in the black light curtain.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, the black light curtain collapsed like broken glass. The black-robed leader showed a horrified expression, his eyes widened, and he said tremblingly: "You..." Before he could finish, Ling Tian's sword had already pierced his throat like lightning.

"It's over!" Ling Tian said coldly, without any mercy in his eyes. The black-robed leader's body slowly fell down, and the light in his eyes gradually extinguished.

As the black-robed leader fell, the remaining black-robed men began to flee in all directions. The Straw Hat Pirates and the Nine Snakes did not pursue them. They were all exhausted, as if all their strength had been drained from their bodies. They sat or lay, panting heavily on the messy battlefield.

The battle left the camp in a mess. The neat tents were destroyed, the ground was covered with pits and bloodstains, and weapons and debris were scattered all over the ground. But everyone knew that this was just the beginning. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind the black-robed people. They were like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, and they could attack again at any time.

Luffy sat on the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes scanning every injured companion: "Is everyone okay?" His voice was a little hoarse, but full of concern.

Zoro looked at the injured companions around him, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "We are all injured, but we are all still alive. This is a blessing in disguise." He knew that although the battle was difficult, they won the victory with unity and courage.

Kuina looked at the mysterious and dangerous forest outside the camp, her eyes solemn: "We have to prepare well, the next battle may be more difficult.
