Zoro was swinging a long barbell, with at least 30 iron blocks piled on it, which added up to 13 or 14 tons.

The whole corridor was empty, and he was the only one swinging it. The whistling sound was heard. Although he had not yet awakened his observation Haki, he had sensed something with his keen combat intuition.

The veins in his hand bulged, and he used the huge barbell in his hand as a sword and swept it to the left.

Puff!

Xia Chen, who had just transformed, was directly smashed into a sky full of water.

It splashed far away and slowly gathered into shape.

“Zoro, you’re too cruel!”

Seeing that it was Xia Chen, Zoro breathed a sigh of relief, and the barbell in his hand fell heavily to the ground. He was sweating profusely, and his skin was slightly red. This was the sequelae of high-intensity training.

Looking at the smiling Xia Chen, he always felt that the other party was different from before he fell asleep. There was no doubt that the other party’s strength had improved again. This is not a world of cultivation, where one can sense the breath, or say “I can’t see through”, and judge that the other party is far better than oneself.

In this world, there are devil fruits, and their abilities are strange and unpredictable. Even the admirals of the navy will fall if they are not careful.

“Elementalization?”

“You know this?”

“Didn’t you say that? And Luffy’s brother came some time ago, and he fought with Luffy. That’s when I knew that elementalization is the trump card of the natural fruit. No wonder you never used it before.” It can be heard that Zoro is more concerned about the latter.

Xia Chen scratched his head. When discussing how to deal with Lao Sha before, he really said it. Just now, his mind was full of excitement about gaining new power, so he ignored it.

“By the way, where are they?”

“Some went to play, some went to buy books, and some went to the vegetable market. Anyway, I am the only one who has nothing to do here to guard you.” Zoro said casually. Then he picked up the barbell next to him and planned to continue exercising.

Xia Chen heard the urgency in the other party’s words. Although he was already in the top three of the Straw Hat Pirates, and occasionally he could be ranked in the top three with Sanji, he had never fallen out of the top three with the blessing of the sword.

But he felt that this was far from enough. He had many moves, which were powerful… and each had its own uses. However, as he faced more and more powerful enemies, Zoro felt that he could not keep up with the growth rhythm of the team.

Although in the eyes of others, his speed of improvement in strength was also an extremely enviable existence.

Xia Chen’s heart was slightly warm. Seeing Zoro like this, he knew that the other party must have been guarding his door firmly during this period, at least he would be the one who spent the most time on his safety.

Although Zoro is no longer a vice-captain in this life, he is still a partner who is more worthy of trust than anyone else.

Even Luffy can’t compare to him, because he often gets hot-headed, and others clean up his ass… Oh, let’s not talk about it.

“Practice with me. How’s your mastery of Haki?”

“Okay!” Zoro’s eyes lit up. He put the barbell he had just picked up aside, picked up the sword next to him, took off his headscarf and tied it on his head, revealing a fierce look of choosing someone to eat.

Seeing that Xia Chen had no intention of going downstairs to the training ground, Zoro grinned, without saying anything extra, and still started with the three-sword style, Demon Slash. He cherished every opportunity to fight with Xia Chen, and he would not hold back every time.

Originally thought that Xia Chen would dodge this time like before, but he saw that he summoned a large amount of water flow, wrapped and protected most of the corridor, and Xia Chen was cut across by himself.

But except for a splash of water, there was no gain.

Looking at the water droplets flying on the Third Generation Kitetsu and Xuezou, Zoro understood why Xia Chen did not use elementalization in the previous sparring.

This is indeed quite unsolvable. He just used the secret of cutting iron, but it also had no effect.

It seems that if you want to deal with the natural system, you must master Haki.

It’s just that getting started with Haki is too difficult.

Now, apart from Xia Chen, only Nami has mastered it in the entire Straw Hat Pirates. During the time when Xia Chen was asleep, he asked Nami for advice. This woman directly used him as a servant, but in the end, apart from being beaten up, there was still no progress.

After all, the other party’s explanation was “Zoro, you know, it’s that feeling!”

“It’s not difficult, as long as the feeling is right!”

“No way, Zoro, I’ve explained it in such detail, and you still don’t know. Come, I’ll hit you a few times, and you try it yourself!”

Xia Chen glanced at Zoro and could roughly guess what he was thinking, but there was no way, he had already taught him all the knowledge about Haki.

But they just couldn’t learn it, and Xia Chen sometimes even had some weird ideas. Could it be that the power of fate was playing tricks?, they must undergo a two-year training period for the Straw Hat Pirates.

But if you add Luffy’s travel time, it will be a whole Kun year… It doesn’t feel auspicious.

“You may not know yet, but the current admirals of the navy are all natural fruit ability users, and their strength is only stronger than mine, so today I want you to get used to the way of fighting with natural systems first.” Xia Chen said, “If you don’t know Haki, you can find their shortcomings, such as the sand crocodile is afraid of water, so I… what do you think of?”.

“Okay, three swords flow·trouble wind!” The two long swords in Zoro’s hands slashed forward fiercely, setting off a spiral slash, hitting Xia Chen directly.

Xia Chen stood still, letting the slash penetrate his body, and when it fell on the water barriers on both sides, it made a muffled sound, as if it was slashing on steel.

Because Xia Chen merged the water control skill with the armed color Haki at that moment.

“Wind has restraint on water, but the temperature must be lower, or your wind force must be multiplied several times!”

Seeing this scene, Zoro was more relaxed.

But the more he attacked, the more depressed he became, because he found that Xia Chen’s elemental move was really unstoppable.

No matter how dense the sword energy was to chop Xia Chen into pieces, the opponent could still gather and form not far away. As for the new move of Flame Slash, which he got inspiration from Luffy, Sanji and Fire Fist Ace and figured out by himself, it could not do anything except consume some of Xia Chen’s physical strength.

More importantly, Xia Chen was talking trash while fighting.

“Zoro, no matter how fancy you are with your sword, it’s not as good as one sword to defeat the enemy.”

“Do you know that the world’s number one swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk uses basic sword moves from beginning to end, not as fancy as you, so you are actually the user of the Name Fruit, right?”

“This ability of flying flame slash is good, otherwise it is said that the flame fruit will not be eaten by dogs.”

“Ah, don’t tell Luffy, I don’t mean that, after all, it is not conducive to our internal unity.”

“These Xuezou and the third generation of Kitetsu are my collections, right? When did you get them?”

“Try harder, I’m still okay.”

Zoro was very angry, the ghost energy on his body was steaming, and before it was activated, the Nine Swords Asura state could already be added to the ordinary attack.

“What is this?”

When facing these moves, Xia Chen instinctively chose to dodge, instead of resisting as before. Zoro’s eyes became brighter, and he vaguely grasped some kind of opportunity.

The offensive became more and more fierce and fierce.

Finally, transparent green flames ignited on the three swords.

“Stop!” Xia Chen wanted to stop him, but Zoro was already in a frenzy.

“To endure all hardships without getting tired of it, this is the way of Ashura! Ashura Ichigo Silver!”

Zoro rushed in front of him at a speed that Xia Chen could not catch. He could only quickly display the water clone and display a large amount of Armament Haki defense on the surface of the water clone.

After absorbing Crocodile’s lv1 Armament Haki, his Armament Haki was undoubtedly upgraded to the lv2 stage.

Not only the quantity increased, but also the quality was improved.

But facing Zoro’s move.

His Armament Haki was forcibly broken through, and at the moment when it cut the water cloud body, Xia Chen felt that his connection with the water clone disappeared.

“The knife cuts the flesh, the sword cuts the soul!” Xia Chen suddenly said this sentence in his mind.

Then Zoro crashed into the water wall in front of him uncontrollably, and stopped with the help of the water’s toughness and buffering. He turned around and knelt on one knee. His physical strength was almost exhausted.

“Shamingzhi!” He took off the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, and Kozaburo’s teachings appeared in his mind again.

At this moment, he firmly believed that ghost energy was definitely a power that was not weaker than Armament Haki.
