Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

The pitch-black ghost energy and the blood-red evil ghost power.

Among the powers that Zoro has comprehended, there have always been only these two colors.

Bloodthirst, killing, madness...

These auras, which are enough to cause ordinary people to suffer a mental breakdown, are the source of Zoro's power.

That is also Asura in his eyes.

But at this moment, Zoro faced an irresistible enemy.

He no longer opened his arms and faced death calmly as before, but chose to fight for his life with the intention of burning out his life.

Asura looked different in Zoro's eyes.

Only then did he finally realize it.

Asura is not the evil ghost suffering in hell, but the ghost god above hell!

[Enduring all kinds of suffering without getting tired, this is Ashura...]

Zoro muttered to himself, and the Ashura form behind him was gradually changing during the defeat and reorganization.

The golden light slowly extended, forming strange lines, as if wearing a layer of armor full of divine power.

The influence of Kaido's domineering color domineering on it is gradually getting smaller.

It is obvious that Zoro is undergoing his own transformation at this moment.

It is conceivable that when the golden lines on Ashura's body are completed, Zoro will also gain even more powerful power.

But the next second, a loud shout came.

"How dare you use me as a whetstone?!"

"I am Kaido the Beast!!!"

【Thunderous Bagua!!!】

The huge mace named "Eight Precepts" which was wrapped in endless lightning swept across the battlefield, stirring up invisible waves of air.

It hit Zoro like a meteorite.

This is Kaido's most commonly used move.

Of course, although it is called a move, it is actually just a basic attack while swinging a mace.

But it was this kind of basic attack that Kaido used in the original work to knock Gear 4 Luffy unconscious.

Even when he just sobered up.

Not to mention Zoro, who was concentrating all his attention on resisting the domineering color domineering.

Just with the touch, the mace shattered the bones in Zoro's arms.

Zoro flew backwards, and even his three swords were scattered everywhere.

"Zoron!"

Robin exclaimed and quickly activated her ability to transform into two huge arms, trying to catch Zoro.

But Zoro pierced Robin's arm.

Usopp shot out a huge stream of water, and Nami summoned strong winds to slow down Zoro's speed.

Finally, after Franky held Zoro and broke more than a dozen large trees, the two finally stopped.

Zoro couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Franky was so scared that he quickly stuffed several pills into his mouth, fearing that Zoro would not be able to swallow them.

Anxious Franky even grabbed Zoro's head and shook it several times.

Zoro, who had just recovered, was almost shaken to death.

Franky gently put Zoro down and let him rest against the roots of the tree.

But the miserable Zoro smiled at this moment.

Even though his Asura body missed the opportunity to transform in one breath, it might be extremely difficult for him to break through in the future.

But there is no doubt that he has found a way to become stronger.

And now, they have the most important thing to deal with.

At this moment, Kaido, who has turned back into human form, slowly walks towards the Straw Hat Pirates holding the Eight Rings.

Behind him followed Quinn and his group.

In addition to Franky who was taking care of Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Robin and Brook also stood in front of them.

Even though the timid duo of Usopp and Nami had trembling legs, their eyes were determined.

But as Kaido got closer and closer, he swung the mace in his hand.

Usopp couldn't help but shout for help:

"Luffy you bastard! How long are you going to be lost!!!"

"Show up quickly!!!"

Just like the plot in a cool novel, the protagonist always comes to the rescue at the most critical moment.

-

In the deep forest behind the Straw Hat Pirates, a voice that was very familiar to them sounded:

"Kaido~~~!!!"

The voice was drawn out infinitely, failing to conceal the endless anger contained in it.

Along with the sound, a man wearing a straw hat swung out from the woods.

His eyes were sharp, and he placed his right hand in front of him and opened his mouth.

The next second, Luffy in the form of [Gear Fourth: Jumping Man] appeared.

Not only that, the Tianlu boxing gloves ignited with a blazing flame, which was much stronger than before in Marinford.

Luffy's straw hat had already been blown behind him by the wind.

He fell straight down from a high altitude, gas spurting out of his feet as he rushed towards Kaido.

At the same time, Luffy's eyes focused, and the red and gold domineering aura swept out, instantly covering all the enemies in front of him.

As expected, the ordinary member of the Beasts Pirates fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.

The gift givers' legs went weak and they fell to their knees, supporting themselves with their hands and trying to resist.

Only the Flying Six and Quinn can withstand this pressure.

"Humph!"

Kaido snorted coldly and activated his domineering aura again.

It instantly collided with Luffy's domineering aura.

boom! ! !

An even more terrifying explosion sounded, and this time, even the giant elephant carrying the Hairy Principality stopped briefly.

At this moment, the huge battlefield was split into two by two domineering forces, the ground was cracked, and the trees were shattered.

Even the sky, which had already cleared up, was now clearly distinct in everyone's eyes.

This also shows the strength gap between Luffy and Zoro.

Under the clash of the two forces, Zoro could hardly move.

Luffy, however, was unaffected. On one hand, he released his domineering aura to fight back, while on the other hand, he swung his giant fist towards Kaido.

There was also a roar from his mouth:

"You bastard, what did you do to my partner!!!"

[Rubber Rubber·Heart Fire·Ape King Spear!!!]

Under the burning flames, Luffy's fist has already arrived in front of Kaido.

Kaido is also a ruthless man who doesn't say much and is very blunt:

"You keep on saying this and that. Who do you think I am?"

【Thunderous Bagua!!!】

Although the names of the two men's moves sound cool, in the end it's just a punch and a stick.

But the next second, something Kaido didn't expect happened.

When Luffy's fist was about to collide with Hachimanji, the fist, which was originally full of momentum, suddenly lost its power.

Luffy actually changed his fist into a palm and entangled Kaido's Eight Precepts.

Then, Luffy turned over, controlled the Eight Seals with both hands, stretched out his arms and kicked Kaido's head hard.

【Rubber Rubber Rhino Howitzer!!!】

If Bai Ye was here at this moment, he would be surprised to find that Luffy's move just now already had the meaning of Tai Chi.

Come late and arrive first, use the opponent’s force to your advantage!

Luffy's attack came fast and hard, but Kaido still raised his left arm to block it.

But he still underestimated Luffy's strength.

He kicked out with both legs, and Kaido's palm hit him directly on the head.

Bang! ! !

For the first time since his debut, Kaido fell backwards, and his huge body was about to lose balance.

but!

But Kaido was still able to launch a counterattack at this time. He suddenly exerted force with his right arm and forcibly broke free from Luffy's restraints.

Then he swung the mace and hit Luffy.

The next second, the two separated.

Kaido took several steps back before he could steady himself, while Luffy was knocked to the ground by Hachisai and slid for more than ten meters before he could steady himself.

This also indirectly shows that Luffy's strength seems to be inferior to Kaido.

At this time, the Fur Tribe, Luo and others had also arrived.

At this time, Duke Inuarashi shouted to Luffy: "My benefactor, the one across from us is the emperor of the New World. Now is not the time to defeat him. We should leave here now."

Luffy responded negatively to these words.

"I do not want!"

...

...

...

Bai Ye will appear tomorrow. To be honest, I didn’t expect that the Zou part would take several days to write. I have tried my best to shorten it according to the outline.

The battle on Luffy's side is almost over, and the focus will now be on Banko.
