Chapter 354

“Are you two done discussing?” Zoro asked impatiently. “There are four on each side. There is no need to make this so complicated. If Kenshin senpai is unwilling to fight, then I’ll fight two myself.”

“Then count me out as well,” Sougo said weakly. “Zoro-san, you have three blades, right? I’m sure you can deal with all three of them on your own.”

“What are you talking about!” Zoro shouted. “Hey! Why are you putting on blinds? Even if you look down on your opponent, there’s no reason for you to lie down and start sleeping!”

“Ah. For some reason, listening to you makes me feel so irritated and tired,” Sougo said as he lied down on his side, folded his arms behind him, and started to snore.

“Hmm. So there are two who are not interested in the fight,” Feng Bujue mumbled as his eyes landed on Gourry. “But there is still a troublesome one remaining.”

“Hey! Am I dead to you?” Zoro roared. Feng Bujue continued to ignore Zoro. He turned to Xiao Tan and the two Transformers and said, “Ignore the green moss. After we deal with Gourry, we only need to find a place with a wall, and we’ll be able to lose him after a few turns.”

Jazz said contemplatively, “Oh…so he is the omake ‘who is unable to go on a mission alone because he will definitely get lost’? I thought it was just an urban legend.”

“Do you guys think I’m dead? I’m so going to kill you!” The veins popped on Zoro’s forehead.

Nightbeat added, “But it’s hard for us to understand your deficiency because we come with a GPS system.”

“You’re just plastic. How could you possibly have GPS!” Zoro lost it and charged forward with his blades glinting. “Nitou-Ryuu-Takanami!” The speed with which he unsheathed the blade was so fast, it was almost invisible to the naked eye. When the two blades were unsheathed, Zoro turned around to cut out two fog-like shockwaves at the spot where the four members from Classic were standing. Jazz took one step forward and blocked his partners. With a wave of his arm, the shockwave was dispersed. “This kind of attack might harm the normal toys, but they are scratches for us Cybertrons.”

“Light!” Gourry’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Get down!” At the same time, Feng Bujue roared. Xiao Tan was an obedient follower. He collapsed to the ground immediately. Jazz and Nightbeat transformed and swerved out of the way. The next second, bright fire burst out from the Blade of Light, and it shot out a blinding laser. It had a vacuum-like presence, and its power was immense.

Thankfully, Feng Bujue shielded them, and everyone escaped the attack safely. Even Kenshin, who stood on the other side, had to take several steps to avoid it. Even the famed swordsman let out a long sigh. “Phew… that was close.”

“The three of you, go and deal with Gourry and leave Zoro to me. We outnumber them, so we should go for a close-quarter combat.” Feng Bujue then climbed up from the ground and rushed at Zoro.

“Since when did he become the commander?” Nightbeat complained. Even so, he followed the order. Jazz shrugged, and he too followed Nightbeat and Xiao Tan as they tried to surround Gourry. “Since his tactic sounds valid, we’ll follow it for now.”

Meanwhile, even though Feng Bujue said he would handle Zoro, he lost his confidence when he stood before Zoro. The presence radiating from the single-eyed swordsman was like that of a giant beast. Zoro hadn’t unsheathed his third blade (Meito-Wado Ichimonji), but even just the two blades (Sandai Kitetsu and Shusui) and a simple stance were enough to make Brother Jue feel powerless. Feng Bujue used his Soul’s Eyes to simulate multiple attack methods and all of them were futile.

“What’s wrong?” Zoro said. “You ran to stop me, but why have you decided to just stand there?” His right hand moved slightly. “My boss said that you’re an opponent that we need to pay attention to. Was that a miscalculation?”

Pew pew!

Two cards cut past Zoro’s cheek.

“He avoided them so easily,” Feng Bujue groaned with regret. Brother Jue was not just standing there. He was waiting for Zoro to put his guard down. He silently summoned Death Poker and kept them hidden in his sleeves and unleashed the attack without warning. The two cards flew toward Zoro’s neck. The distance was short, the speed was fast, and Feng Bujue had the element of surprise on his side. But the man still evaded the fatal attack easily with a simple lean backward.

“Just an omake…but you retain the ability of Kenbunshoku Haki[1],” Feng Bujue commented.

Zoro smiled and said, “You sure know quite a bit about me.”

“Yes, I do!” As Feng Bujue replied, he turned his body to launch a kick. An arc of a slash wave rushed forward, aiming at Zoro’s waist. Due to the close distance, even if the attack was predicted, it was impossible to avoid.

“Such boredom.” Zoro bent down slightly, and with one slash, his attack balanced out Brother Jue’s Rankyaku, and the two neutralized each other. “I’ve battled so many Rokushiki users in my life, and your Rankyaku is the weakest I’ve ever encountered. There’s basically zero chance you’ll injure me.”

“This is ridiculous,” Feng Bujue mumbled. He was sweating. He thought to himself, Even a highly skilled fighter couldn’t deal with a character like him. Be it predictive power, strength, speed, persistence, fighting experience, fighting ability—he is the best of the best. We do not have any marksmanship expert on our side or any one with long-ranged artillery. if I want to win, I need to rely on machinery, sorcery, or summoning skills.

Feng Bujue thought quickly, and he had made many plans in his mind. However, Zoro’s attack was faster. Both his blades had been unsheathed, and they were bloodthirsty.

“Nitou-Ryuu-Maguma!”

The shadow leaped and the murder was ordered. Zoro teleported behind Feng Bujue, with his hands holding the hilts of both blades, and two vertical slashes shot forward.

But Feng Bujue had leaped into the air. Zoro naturally had predicted that. He stood up and lifted his head. Looking at the figure that was radiating a red light in midair, he smirked and said, “This kind of skill that suddenly increases the user’s speed by a large amount reminds me of a friend’s second gear.”

Feng Bujue turned around in the air and used Geppo several times to rush downward. Like a hawk picking up a hare, Flying Dragon Fist was ready to go.

“Looks like he has prepared something powerful,” Zoro said as he refocused his attention. “But I have quite a bit of confidence in my Busoshoku Haki[2].”

[1] A form of Haki that allows the user to sense the presence of others, even if they are concealed from view or too far to see or predict their movements

[2] A form of Haki that allows the user to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themselves, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities. Notably, this form of Haki can be used to injure Devil Fruit users that are otherwise immune to ordinary physical attacks, such as Logia users.
