"Three Swords Style·Black Rope·Big Tornado!"
In the desert area several miles away from the rain land, a huge tornado formed by a slash stirred up endless sand and dust, and instantly killed Mr. 5 who was in the dust and fog, as well as the figure floating in the air.
Just like being killed instantly in the original story, in front of Zoro who has already comprehended "Hazelnut", the MR.5 team, whose highest bounty is only 10 million Baileys, has no power to resist at all.
With just one move, Zoro killed them instantly.
"I almost got stuck in his booger. What a disgusting ability."
Zoro put away his three famous swords, looked at Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine who were lying on the ground with scars all over their bodies, and made a slight complaint.
"Well done, to be able to use the slash like this, your foundation is even stronger than the boss's."
Kalina and Nami came over, and Nami praised Zoro generously.
"Stop it, that guy doesn't even bother to develop sword moves other than the "Great Fire Sword"." Zoro said: "If he wanted to, he would definitely use it better than me."
"Don't hold back when dealing with people with this ability in the future."
Kalina pulled out the dagger she carried with her, walked to Mr. 5 and squatted down, then said to Zoro: "Now, it's time to tell you our biggest secret – Nami!"
"for you."
Nami took out the fruit bag she was holding and handed it to Kalina.
"Puff——!"
Taking the fruit bag, Kalina stabbed Mr. 5's heart with the dagger in front of Zoro's unprepared gaze, without even giving him a chance to groan, and took his life directly.
Then, the familiar black smoke appeared and liquefied into a black ball that enveloped Kalina and the MR.5 team.
"She…what is she doing?"
Zoro, who saw the dark ritual for the first time, asked in a daze.
"You'll find out soon."
Nami did not answer, but smiled and said: "This is a secret that can shock the world. Just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone."
"I see."
Zoro nodded heavily.
Although he didn't know what Kalina was doing, he had completely accepted Dewey and the other two and had 100% trust in his companions.
After a while, the black ball turned into mist and disappeared. Kalina came out with two devil fruits, and behind her were two silent corpses.
"Is this… a secret treasure from the sea?"
Looking at the devil fruit in Karina's hand, Zoro asked uncertainly.
Even though he knew that Dewey and the other two were users of special abilities, this was the first time Zoro had seen a devil fruit. Just like Kalina and Nami when they first met Dewey, he still viewed devil fruits as "legendary secret treasures of the sea."
"Yes, this is the devil fruit known as the 'Secret Treasure of the Sea'."
While putting the devil fruit back into the bag, Kalina revealed the biggest secret of their fleet to Zoro: "As you know, the secret treasures of the sea do exist, and those legends about the "secret treasures of the sea" are also true, but… people's understanding of the devil fruit is only half-understood, and only a few people know the real secret, and we are one of those few people.
For example, after the death of a power user, the fruit power will be reborn somewhere in the sea, but few people know that if a basket of fruit is placed next to the power user when he dies, there is a certain probability that the fruit power will be parasitic on the fruit, and my "Dark Dark Fruit" can control this probability to 100%… In addition to the above, our boss is also the only one in the sea with multiple fruit abilities, so except for a few power users, all power users are our hunting targets. "
"...I see."
After hearing these secrets, Zoro nodded in realization, looking calm without any surprise, leaving Nami speechless: "Did you really understand?"
"Of course, there is no need to hold back against someone with special abilities you don't know, unless Kalina is not around, then you can let him live, right?" Zoro said with a grin.
"A pure swordsman's ability to accept is strong."
Kalina couldn't help but sigh: "Such a pure heart is really enviable."
If Robin was here, no matter how strong his mental state was, he would be shocked and speechless.
But Zoro, apart from the swordsmanship and the wine, everything else is just like listening to a story.
Realizing that Kalina was not a bloodthirsty person and was only killing for the benefit of their fleet, Zoro, who had always held back on the enemy, also took the initiative to change his principles.
This man is so reliable!
"Let's go and wait for the next group to return." Nami patted Zoro on the back and smiled.
So, the three of them dug a hole and buried Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, then turned around and returned to the rainy land.
Over the next few days, the senior agents of Baroque Works returned to the Kingdom of Alabasta one after another. However, before they even got close to the rainy land, they were ambushed in the desert by Kalina and the other two.
No one except "Mr. 1" Daz Bonis can be a match for Zoro, especially since his strength is increasing every day.
From the "mr. 5" group to the "mr. 2" without a partner, there were seven people in total, and only one person escaped.
That is "Mr. 3's" partner, "Miss Golden Week", who is 16 years old but acts like a little girl.
Except for her and the "Mr. 1" group who had not yet arrived at the "Alabasta Kingdom", the rest of the people were killed by Zoro.
In just a few days, Kalina captured six devil fruits.
"Tsk tsk… As expected of an organization secretly established by the Seven Warlords of the Sea, except for that little girl, all the high-level agents are capable people." Looking at the backpack full of devil fruits, Nami smacked her lips and said, "Even in the New World, except for those overlords and dark kings, we have not encountered such a wealthy force."
"Among these devil fruits, only the Explosion Fruit and the Mimicry Fruit are of relatively high value. The rest, even if put up for auction, would not sell for hundreds of millions." Kalina shook her head and said, "Even the Light Float Fruit is a lower-ranking fruit of the Float Fruit. I don't know how good the Cutting Fruit is."
"According to the information given by the boss, the "Cut Fruit" can also be called the "Cut Fruit". It can turn any part of the body into a blade, and its hardness is as hard as steel, which is equivalent to a human-shaped samurai sword." Nami looked at Zoro who was resting with his arms around his chest, and smiled and teased: "Zoro, after Kalina takes his ability, do you want to eat it?"
"No, I don't want to rely on these external forces." Zoro didn't hear the teasing in Nami's tone, opened his eyes and said seriously: "I want to use my own sword to become the "world's greatest swordsman" and let my name resound in heaven."
"Hehehe…come on!" Kalina encouraged with a clenched fist.
"…Here comes the last group!"
Nami wanted to say something, then as if she had discovered something, she looked towards the dusty desert area and spoke slowly.
"Hey… he's finally here? I hope he's not as vulnerable as those guys!" Zoro showed an expectant smile, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
It has to be said that Daz Bonis's strength is absolutely unique in "Baroque Works", and the bounty of 75 million Baileys is not inflated at all.
If he were not already a swordsman, with his ability of the "Cutting Fruit", as long as he comprehended "Cutting Steel", he would definitely be able to become a supernova level existence.
But unfortunately, his vision limits his growth. Crocodile is not a swordsman. He once pursued the development of the fruit, but he withdrew from the stage of the New World before he mastered domineering. Daz Bonis's strength was all cultivated by himself.
Faced with Zoro, whose horizons were broadened, he received guidance from a top swordsman and comprehended the "Breath of All Things". He only slept three hours a day and spent the rest of the time practicing. He had also begun to practice "Life Return" and "Haki". Although Daz Bonis was able to fight with him for a while, he eventually died at Zoro's hands.
Perhaps Daz Bonis is the real test for Zoro, so Nami gave them a stage and personally eliminated Daz Bonis' partner, Pora, who had eaten the "Metahuman Thorn Fruit".
With the death of Daz Bonis, Kalina obtained two more devil fruits.
Including the six devil fruits in the backpack, he recovered eight devil fruits in just five days, a total of 800 experience points.
All this made Dewey, who was secretly observing them, feel extremely relieved.
Even Dewey didn't expect that Kalina, with her wisdom, had vaguely guessed his biggest secret, and left the test to the last. She first completed the task of recruiting Robin, and then used Robin's identity as the vice president of "Baroque Works" to summon all the ability users back and took away the devil fruits of all the ability users of "Baroque Works" at once.
Back then on the deserted island in the East China Sea, perhaps Dewey's greatest gain was not Nami, the navigator of the original "Straw Hat Pirates", but Kalina who appeared in "The Movie: Golden City".
Kalina is undoubtedly the woman who knows Dewey best.
"We should go, Zoro."
Putting the "Cut Fruit" into her backpack, Karina woke up Zoro who was still thinking about the battle just now.
"Hehe, after an all-out battle, did you suddenly discover that the 'Swordsman Realm' is so powerful?" Nami said with a playful smile.
"ah..."
Zoro nodded subconsciously.
There is no way. The enemies Zoro has always encountered are all small and vulnerable pirates.
The other senior agents were no match for him either. Even the turtle-shell-like "Mr. 3" could only take a few more slashes from him.
Before the battle with Daz Bonis, the strongest opponent Zoro had ever encountered was Dewey. Even though he had mastered the "Steel Cutting Technique", he still couldn't last more than five minutes against Dewey, and couldn't even force him back half a step.
This resulted in Zoro being extremely vague about his own strength.
It was not until now that he realized how powerful he was.
Daz Bonis, whose body was as hard as steel, could be killed with just one full-strength attack.
"That's normal. Your strength is only average in the first half of the Grand Line. Even if you swing a flying slash, you are only the lowest level "supernova." Kalina poured cold water on Zoro in time, showing the momentum of a real big sister, and said: "Next, we will take you to see the battle of natural ability users. At that time, you will find out how powerless you will be without mastering domineering."
Hearing this, Zoro, who had already learned about domineering from Dewey, nodded seriously.
When the three returned to the rainy land, Kalina took out the Den Den Mushi and contacted Robin.
Not long after, Robin, wearing a cloak and a veil, came to an alley not far from the casino "Rain Banquet" and met up with the three people.
"Sister Robin, did you bring the things?" Kalina asked.
"Ah… All the evidence of Crocodile's intention to usurp the country is here, and there are also the bills for the purchase of dancing powder in the past two years and the connection with the dark world."
Robin nodded and handed a bag of documents to Kalina.
Taking out the documents, Karina glanced at them quickly, then smiled with satisfaction: "Great, now we can take action against this legitimate pirate with a clear conscience, and maybe even confiscate all his property afterwards. After all, this is one of the privileges of the "strongest hunter."
"Kalina, you are amazing."
Nami finally understood why Kalina asked Robin to collect evidence of Crocodile's crimes these days. It turned out that she not only wanted to complete the test, but also wanted to prevent the Navy and the World Government from causing trouble for them, and even wanted to take away all of Crocodile's property.
This move actually kills three birds with one stone!
"Hehehe… That's why I always tell you, don't become blind just because you have great power. Women need to survive with wisdom!" Kalina pointed to her head, then took off the backpack full of devil fruits and handed it to Zoro, and said to Nami: "Little thief, clear the field. Our opponent is the user of the "Nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit". We can't fight him in the desert, otherwise he will be like the boss in the volcano and the sky."
Sky?
Robin's eyebrows under his hood were slightly frowned, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Volcanoes are understandable, but what about the sky?
Isn't the captain, who is known as the "strongest hunter" and has many titles, the one who possesses the "Natural Flame-Flame Fruit"?
"learn!"
Nami made an OK gesture, then turned to face the direction of "Yuyan" and slowly stretched out her palm.
Sizzle…
The blue and white electric current turned into electric snakes, emerging from Nami's hands.
Both Zoro and Robin felt goosebumps all over their bodies at this moment, and subconsciously kept a distance from Nami.
Whoosh——Boom!
Then, Nami's wrist turned into lightning and disappeared.
Then, an extremely dazzling huge beam of light condensed from the hot sky and fell on the top of the "Rain Banquet", where the strongest aura was located.
