Chapter 636 Weird guy! (Two in one)

Zoro's figure fell rapidly and landed firmly on the boat where Luffy and Kirby were riding.

His arrival also caused the boat to shake. Kebi, who was originally standing on the deck, also hurriedly leaned down, pressed his body close to the board of the boat, and grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, for fear that he would be shaken out of the boat.

Luffy was also jolted by the rocking boat. He shook his body and barely managed to regain his footing. Then he complained to Zoro fearfully: "Hey! You bastard, what are you doing?!"

Luffy is an esper, and all Devil Fruit users are landlubbers. If they accidentally fall into the sea, their lives may be in danger.

Although Kebi can swim, it may not be easy for the thin Kebi to rescue Luffy from drowning. Luffy actually knows this very well.

"What?"

"I'm a pirate hunter! What are you doing?"

"You, the 'Pirate King', should be worth a lot of bounty money, right?"

Zoro glanced at Luffy with cold eyes and quickly took off the long knife from his waist. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he did not take off the sheath while taking off the long knife.

Instead, the sword and sheath were swept out directly towards Luffy's waist, apparently intending to capture Luffy.

It is because the title of Pirate King stimulated Zoro. After leaving Ten Thousand Kingdoms, Zoro actually did not encounter many opponents worthy of his attention along the way.

Driving all the way to the East China Sea, the pirates who cleaned up along the way were unable to give Zoro any training effect.

The strength of those pirates is far inferior to that of Kuina and Yamato. During the period of going to sea, the life-and-death battles with pirates allowed Zoro to accumulate a lot of practical experience, but going to sea also improved him. That's all.

In Zoro's view, the effect of receiving Mihawk's guidance among all nations may not be worse than going to sea to experience.

Feeling that his progress was slowing down, Sauron had been a little anxious for a while.

At his age, he should be the age where his strength grows the fastest, but Zoro feels that his recent growth is not even as fast as his own growth in previous years.

This kind of "regression" is unacceptable to Sauron.

Even though Sauron's growth rate seems terrifying to others, Sauron, who aims to attack the world's greatest swordsman, is still not satisfied with his current growth rate.

When a person becomes accustomed to his rapid growth and his growth rate slows down slightly, he will also feel a strong sense of loss in his heart.

But what Sauron ignored was that the education he had received was the best education in the world.

Koushiro laid a solid foundation for Zoro's growth, and Mihawk guided Zoro's practice on this foundation.

Different mentors who appeared at different stages of Sauron's growth are all suitable for Sauron.

Even the gym where he practiced swordsmanship gathered a group of young people with the most outstanding talents in the new world. Every opponent of the same age that Zoro encountered on his growth path could be considered as comparable to any other place. They are top talents.

The favorable growth environment made Sauron lose his normal judgment of the world.

He thought that there must be more and stronger opponents on the sea, but in fact, it is not easy to meet such people in this vast sea.

And Luffy, who kept talking about wanting to become the Pirate King, was obviously regarded as an opponent by Zoro.

Zoro's sword was not fast, at least in Luffy's eyes, the opponent's attack was traceable.

"what you do?!"

Luffy let out a scream, and suddenly made a gesture of surrender with his hands, but his waist suddenly bounced back strangely, and he avoided Zoro's attack with an extremely twisted posture. .

The evading posture looked a little embarrassed and a little funny, but it actually avoided Sauron's sweep.

The tentative blow was easily dodged by the opponent. Zoro's eyes lit up involuntarily, and his gaze towards Luffy also changed slightly.

"Ability user?!"

In just one encounter, Zoro had already seen the clues. Luffy's reaction was not beyond expectations, but the other party's evasive methods were not something that normal people could replicate.

That kind of weird twisting arc is simply not something normal humans can do.

The opponent's body seemed to have no bones, able to stretch, contract and twist freely.

With a murmur in his mouth, Zoro also had a stern look on his face. With a slight movement of his body, he rushed towards Luffy. He rushed to Luffy in just one breath. His left hand quickly reached out and grabbed Luffy's wrist. At the same time, he grabbed the knife in his right hand and slashed directly towards Luffy's neck.

Zoro's fighting style is deeply influenced by Mihawk and Enichi Tsukuni. When he is not using the two-sword style, his fighting techniques are more like Enichi Tsukuni. There is a big difference between swordsmen.

"Crack!"

Luffy obviously didn't expect that the other party would come so quickly. He had just stood up when Zoro had already rushed forward and launched another attack. Without noticing, Zoro grabbed his wrist directly, but Luffy noticed Zoro's slash and reacted in time.

Luffy's head was pulled back rapidly, and his neck became like a rubber band at this moment, stretched long. The empty position of his head made Zoro's slash miss. He obviously didn't expect Luffy to be able to dodge his attack in this way. Looking at this weird scene in front of him, even a person like Zoro was stunned for a moment.

Luffy, who was attacked continuously by Zoro, obviously had no patience at this moment. He was never the kind of person who didn't fight back when being beaten. Unless he couldn't beat him, he would never swallow his anger.

"Rubber Headbutt!!"

Luffy's roar came from afar.

Zoro felt bad, his pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes looked at Luffy's head that was retreating rapidly.

The next second, Zoro's premonition came true. Luffy's neck, which was stretched rapidly, seemed to have reached a critical point at this moment. After breaking through this critical point, Luffy's head also rebounded rapidly and smashed directly towards Zoro. The speed was so fast that it even made a sharp whistle in the air.

Luffy is also a person who knows the importance of the matter. This time, he did not use his full strength to fight back. He just went with the flow.

Like Zoro, Luffy's training in the Navy Headquarters during those years was also the most systematic.

In addition to developing his own devil fruit ability, he also practiced physical skills and domineering.

Luffy's opponents in ordinary battles are Ace and Sabo. The training from childhood to adulthood has also cultivated Luffy's strong fighting consciousness.

In addition to making great progress in the use of devil fruit abilities, Luffy has also mastered the use of observation Haki and armed Haki.

Normally, in a place like the East China Sea, Luffy has no opponent at all.

And it is precisely because of this that Luffy is able to "escape" under the eyes of Ace and Sabo. If it weren't for Luffy's strength being enough to reassure Ace and Sabo, they would never let Luffy go easily.

"What?!"

This was the first time Zoro had seen Luffy's strange attack method. He was so shocked that he couldn't dodge. After a low cry, Zoro quickly put away his sword and held it in front of him.

Feeling that the opponent's attack would be very powerful, Zoro used his Armament Haki to quickly attach it to the blade.

"Bang!!!!"

In just a blink of an eye, Luffy's forehead had already hit the blade that Zoro had placed in front of him. The terrifying force shook Zoro's body, and his upper body involuntarily leaned back, a little unbalanced.

At the same time, the huge recoil force also made Luffy's head hurt, making Luffy, who was already intolerant of pain, grimace.

"It hurts~"

Luffy cried out in pain, and the pain made him angry. His other left hand, which was not restricted, quickly clenched his fist and hit Zoro's abdomen, which was leaning back, like a catapult.

Luffy's attack was within the range of Zoro's observation Haki. Zoro, who noticed this, simply let go of Luffy and fell backwards to avoid Luffy's attack. Just before his back was about to hit the deck, Zoro supported himself on the deck with his left hand, and then flipped backwards and stood steadily on the bow.

The boat where the few people were was like a seesaw. When Zoro landed on the bow, the stern part also tilted up. Luffy, whose arm was retracting quickly, also shook his body. There was no way to chase Zoro. He could only sink his heart and try to maintain his center of gravity.

"Pah!"

"Hua——"

The tilted stern hit the sea again, stirring up a wave. The small boat had no shelter at all, and the sea water splashed directly on Luffy.

A feeling of weakness came from the body. Luffy, who was originally full of fighting spirit, became a little listless and powerless at the moment when the sea water wet his body.

Although the seawater on his body was not too much, it was enough to affect his combat effectiveness.

"Hey, Zoro, stop it!"

"We can't attack ordinary people. Have you forgotten what you told us before we went out to sea?!"

"Don't you want to go back?"

On the merchant ship, Kuina shouted at Zoro.

Although these new navy sailors were walking on the sea under the banner of pirate hunters, their identities have always been new navy and have never changed.

Attacking ordinary people is a taboo in the new navy.

Especially since this ordinary person did not pose any threat to their new navy, Zoro's behavior today was more or less out of line.

The cool sea water made Zoro's brain more or less clear. After Kuina's shouting, Zoro came back to his senses. He took a deep look at Luffy, scratched his wet hair, and complained:

"I know, I know!"

"Stop it now?"

"And this guy is obviously not an ordinary person, he is a Devil Fruit user!"

"Besides, didn't this guy keep saying he was a pirate? I just caught a pirate, what's the problem?!"

Zoro really had no ability to resist in front of Kuina. In his own words, he was weak in front of Kuina because "a good man doesn't fight with a woman."

But in fact, only Zoro himself knows why.

He and Kuina grew up together. They are rivals, but more like family.

Moreover, young men and women of their age are just young and innocent. If you say that there is no other affection between Zoro and Kuina, I am afraid no one will believe it.

Zoro's obedience in front of Kuina is exactly the most contradictory performance of his own character.

"Don't fight anymore?"

Luffy is still a little confused at this moment. Although the weakness from his body makes him feel a little uncomfortable, he is a little surprised to see Zoro stop, and even feels a little disappointed in his heart.

He doesn't know why he is disappointed. Maybe he, who likes adventure by nature, will also look forward to and enjoy fighting.

"Hey, I'm really a pirate!"

Although Kuina's words are to persuade Zoro to stop, Luffy hears that the other party does not believe that he is a pirate.

How can Luffy, who is proud of his identity as a pirate, allow such a thing to happen? Therefore, as soon as Kuina finished speaking, Luffy patted his chest and reiterated his identity to Kuina and Zoro.

"Here, look."

Zoro, who was about to put down his knife, curled his lips when he heard Luffy's words, pointed his long knife in Luffy's direction, and looked up at Kuina.

"."

Kuina was speechless. It was the first time she had seen someone like Luffy. Other pirates would try every means to cover up their identities after learning about their identities as pirate hunters, but Luffy was afraid that others would not know that he was a pirate.

This strange behavior also made Kuina re-examine Luffy and his "vehicle".

There was no way to sail a boat. There was no blood on the boat, and there was no pirate logo on the mast.

More importantly, there were only two people in this group of "pirates", and Kuina did not remember seeing the bounty for Luffy and Coby in the wanted poster.

Glancing at Coby, who was lying on the deck and holding the side of the ship tightly, trembling a little, Kuina couldn't help but sigh.

After going out to sea for so long, this was the first time Kuina encountered a "lunatic".

He had no experience in dealing with lunatics, and didn't know how to communicate with Luffy at this time. He could only turn his head and shout to Zoro:

"It doesn't matter what he says."

"The important thing is that we can't verify that he is a pirate."

"It can't be that he is a pirate just because he says he is a pirate, and it can't be that he is a pirate just because we say he is a pirate."

"If there is no way to verify the facts, he can't be killed."

This is a red line that Jigoku Yoshiichi drew for Kuina and the others before they went out to sea.

Kuina and the others have been following this concept for so long since they went out to sea, and they will not break their own rules for people like Luffy.

Hearing Kuina say this, Zoro's expression also eased a little. Although he and Kuina occasionally quarreled, when it really involved such things, Zoro still knew where the red line was.

"Strange guy"

After putting away his sword, Zoro glanced at Luffy and silently gave such an evaluation in his heart.
