Chapter 1417 Different Positions

She turned her head and stared at Kuro not far away, and her mind involuntarily recalled the day when the Arlong Pirate Group was wiped out.

"Thanks to you, I was able to escape from Arlong's clutches, but... I am now a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and I must help my captain." Nami sighed inwardly. She was full of gratitude towards Kuro, but because the two were in different positions now, she could only bury this gratitude deep in her heart.

"Hold on, Luffy." Nami whispered softly, as if this prayer could reach Luffy's ears. She clenched her fists tightly, silently cheering for Luffy in her heart.

At this moment, Luffy, who was seriously injured and unconscious, seemed to hear Nami's prayer. His fingers suddenly trembled twice, as if responding to Nami's call.

"Nami, I'll go buy some time for Chopper." Brook said without hesitation upon seeing this.

He quickly drew out his cane sword, ready to fight Kuro!

Nami stared at him, her heart full of contradictions and struggles. Her eyes wandered over him, as if she wanted to say something, but was hesitant. Finally, she took a deep breath, made up her mind, and whispered, "Be careful, you must survive."

Brook was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then nodded slowly. However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something important, and his body trembled violently, and he turned his head.

"If I survive, can I see your underwear?" Brooke's voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that this request was very important to him.

Nami's eyes widened. She had never expected Brook to make such a request at this time. However, at this critical moment, she had no time to think too much. She answered without hesitation: "Don't even mention it. I'll give you a hundred!"

Nami's answer surprised Brook. He originally thought that his request would be rejected by Nami, or even scolded. But Nami's generous response made him feel warm.

"Really?" There was a hint of disbelief in Brooke's voice.

Nami nodded heavily, her eyes firm and sincere.

"Yohohoho~" Brook let out an excited laugh, his face filled with joy.

"I have to survive for this too!" Brook's tone became serious, and he held the hilt tightly, as if it was the support of his life. Then, he took a big step and ran forward quickly, his figure gradually disappearing from Nami's sight.

“Dang! Bang!”

Accompanied by crisp collisions and dull sounds, the sword held tightly in Zoro's left hand let out a heartbreaking cry during the fierce confrontation with Butsujitsu no Myouhun, and then suddenly broke without any warning!

This sudden change shocked Zoro greatly. His eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

However, before he could recover from the shock, Kuro's attack came like a storm. Kuro swung his arm, and the long sword in his hand chopped down fiercely with a fierce momentum!

Seeing this, Zoro was horrified. He quickly raised the only remaining knife in his hand, trying to block Kuro's fatal blow.

"Pfft!"

Although Zoro's reaction was fast enough, he was still a step too slow. Kuro's knife was like lightning, mercilessly cutting through Zoro's body, leaving a deep wound on his chest, and even the bones could be seen!

The pain was so severe that Zoro flew backwards as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. His body slid rapidly on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ahem!"

Zoro endured the severe pain in his chest, leaned on the sword with one hand, and climbed up from the ground with difficulty. Blood continued to flow out of his mouth, spraying on the Wado Ichimonji like a fountain, dyeing the white handle of the sword into a scarlet color.

And at this moment, Zoro seemed to hear a faint wailing sound. The sound seemed to come from the broken blade in his hand, and also seemed to come from a corner deep in his heart.

Zoro slowly lowered his head and stared at the broken blade in his left hand, feeling a surge of despair in his heart.

"Zoro, cheer up."

Just as Zoro was falling into despair, a sudden voice sounded behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw Brooke appeared behind him at some point.

"Brooke!" An expression of surprise instantly appeared on Zoro's face, as if he had seen a savior.

"Brook, I will hold Bloody Blade back, and you take Luffy away from here immediately. The farther the better!" Zoro's tone was extremely anxious. He knew very well that Bloody Blade's strength was terrifying and he might not be able to resist him, but in order to protect Luffy, he made this decision without hesitation.

However, Brooke shook his head and said, "Let's try another plan."

Zoro was stunned and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

Brook smiled and continued, "I'll hold that big guy back, and you take Captain Luffy away."

"Brook!" Zoro was about to speak, wanting to tell Brook how terrifying Kuro's strength was, but before he could finish his words, he was surprised to find that Brook had rushed out like a flash of lightning.

"Captain!" Kuro looked up suddenly after hearing a loud shout, and saw a skeleton man in a black suit and a top hat standing not far away, holding a long sword wrapped in the underworld's spirit in his hand, pointing it straight at him.

"Let me, a dead man, fight you with a few moves!" The skeleton man - Brook, shouted with his unique voice, like a messenger from hell.

Kuro looked at Brook who suddenly appeared, and information about him immediately emerged in his mind.

He remembered the ability of the fruit this guy possessed - the Yomiuri Fruit, which allowed his soul to continue to exist after death.

"Soul Death Sword!" Brook shouted, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards Kuro as fast as lightning. The yellow spring of despair wrapped around the long sword made people feel as if this blow could cut off the cycle of life and death.

Seeing this, Kuro quickly clenched his left fist, and a powerful golden energy instantly gushed out from his fist.

This energy quickly spread out on his left fist like a golden shield, covering his entire fist.

As the golden energy shield emerged, the surrounding space began to tremble violently, as if it could not withstand this powerful force.

The sound of space collapsing continued to be heard, and black cracks spread in the air.

"Get lost!" Kuro shouted angrily, his voice was like thunder, deafening. Facing this guy who suddenly interrupted his fight with Zoro, he mercilessly activated his fruit ability.

In an instant, a huge golden shock wave burst out from his fist, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping straight towards Brook.

Wherever this shock wave passed, the air was torn apart, forming a huge vacuum channel.

Poor Brook, he was overwhelmed by the golden shock wave before he even had the chance to show his strongest move.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!!!!" Accompanied by a deafening sound, the golden shock wave hit the ground hard, causing a huge explosion.

The shock wave generated by the explosion swept in all directions like a tsunami, destroying everything around it.
