A black gas cloud circles the cursed sword.
The sea around keeps boiling.
Seeing this, Luffy and Usopp both looked shocked.
This sword strike. will surely kill Zoro
"Hurry, hurry save Zoro, or else Zoro will die!"
Usopp was so scared he jumped around, crying and shedding tears.
Usopp cried while running left and right, sometimes kneeling and bowing, sometimes standing to pray to the sky.
Luffy felt a great shock watching this.
Even though he knew,
It was Zoro's own choice.
But he could not let his friend die like that.
Thinking this, Luffy decided to use his rubber fruit power to pull Zoro back.
But before Luffy could stretch his arm,
Raynor slapped Luffy's head, and with huge force smashed the deck, making a hole.
"Raynor, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
"If you don't let go, Zoro will die!"
Luffy's body kept twisting on the deck.
But no matter how Luffy struggled, Raynor did not move.
He only stared seriously toward Zoro.
Finally he said:
"Luffy, do you want Zoro to carry shame for his whole life? Don't waste other people's dreams!"
When those words came out, Luffy's eyes weakened, and slowly his twisting body relaxed.
Seeing Luffy stop struggling, Raynor slowly let go.
The next second.
Luffy pulled his head out with force.
But he did not try to pull Zoro back.
He only held the rail tightly, staring at Mihawk, as the cursed sword rose slowly.
Luffy's heart was in his throat.
At that moment.
Barati's chefs were watching nervously, but dared not act.
Only Usopp behind kept shouting.
But, He was confused.
Why aren't these people going up to save Zoro?
"Hey, hurry up and save him, if you don't, Zoro will really die!"
"Do you want to watch a friend die?!"
Raynor got annoyed by Usopp's yelling.
He threw a punch.
He hit a big lump on Usopp's head.
Immediately.
The punch hurt Usopp so much he crouched, holding his head, tears streaming.
"Usopp, shut the fuck up!"
"Be quiet and witness this great historic moment!"
As soon as Raynor finished speaking,
Mihawk's cursed sword sliced instantly.
It left a deep blood cut on Zoro's chest.
Then, Blood sprayed out as Zoro fell backward.
At that moment, It seemed like cherry blossoms fell in the sky.
Zoro's eyes were empty.
Maybe, Being cut by the world's top swordsman is his final fate.
Thinking that, Zoro calmly closed his eyes and fell into the sea.
Seeing this, Usopp's eyes almost popped out.
Luffy at once jumped into the sea
To try to save Zoro.
But Zoro hadn't been rescued yet; he kept flailing, sinking gradually, and started to bubble.
Seeing this, Raynor hit his forehead and sighed.
Luffy is really super naive.
Usopp, seeing this, was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan, ready to jump in to rescue.
But he slipped, hit his head on the railing, and passed out.
Seeing this, Raynor was furious.
Getting on this ship.
He really hit the worst luck.
On this ship.
From captain to crew, none were normal.
Thinking of that, Raynor sighed helplessly.
There was nothing he could do.
He was already on the rogue ship, he couldn't get off.
He hopes they will be smarter in future.
Thinking of that, Raynor leapt into the sea and pulled them all out.
After draining the water from Luffy's belly,
Raynor slapped Usopp awake.
Then he bandaged Zoro's wound.
Luckily the wound soaked in salt water did not get infected.
If bandaged well, it will heal soon.
After a short while, Zoro slowly opened his eyes.
The shame on his face was obvious, and he clenched his teeth and cried.
Zoro covered his face with his hands and shouted,
"Before I become the world's top swordsman, I will never lose again. Do you agree, captain!"
When he heard that,
Luffy, who was half unconscious, woke up instantly.
After a long silence,
He shouted to the sky:
"Alright!"
Luffy's shout rang loudly, shaking the chefs behind him.
Mihawk, far away, saw this and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
He straightened his clothes, looked at Zoro and said,
"Keep working hard, swordsman, your future achievements will be above mine!"
After speaking, Mihawk tipped his hat and turned to leave.
But then, Raynor's voice sounded cold:
"You hurt a friend and then try to leave, that's not right, is it?"
Mihawk narrowed his eyes, looked back at Raynor, looking a bit upset.
"What? Do you want to betray your partner's will?"
Upon hearing that,
A hint of Haki appeared inside Rayno.
Feeling this Haki,
Mihawk's pupils shrank slightly.
His confused look was clear.
He did not expect
That in this tiny East Sea there was a Haki user.
Haki is the highest power in this world.
The top ability.
Even above Devil Fruit powers.
Those who awaken Haki are all super strong in this sea.
People with Haki also gather in the New World where strong people are.
Even among the Haki users in the Grand Line,
Haki users are few.
So finding a Haki user in the weak East Sea surprised him.
But, That guy having such a strong partner is good.
Maybe, He should give this brave newcomer some advice.
Thinking this, Mihawk's mouth lifted slightly as he said to Raynor:
"You saw what happened to your partner just now, right!"
"People should learn from history!"
On hearing that, A cold look flashed in Raynor's eyes.
Then, He placed his foot on the rail, stared straight at Mihawk and said:
"Mihawk!"
"Stop the nonsense!"
"You're not scared, are you!"
As he said, Raynor showed an arrogant look.
Seeing this, Mihawk's expression shifted slightly, Raynor kept speaking:
"Today, your legend may end!"
When he said that,
Everyone in the sea restaurant was stunned.
Raynor dared to speak to the world's top swordsman, like that.
If they anger this sea strongman, Krieg's fate will be their fate.
In an instant.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking nonsense!"
"What if he cuts our ship too!"
"Please, someone save us!"
The chefs huddled together and panicked.
