Chapter 415 A huge weight has finally been lifted.
Seeing this, Luffy finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He glanced at Zoro with gratitude, their eyes meeting in a moment that seemed to convey everything without words. Then, he quickly regained his composure and, without hesitation, led his crew to evade Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's follow-up attacks.
In this breathtaking melee, every moment was a test of life and death. Luffy and his five crew members realized that facing powerful opponents like Kaido and Charlotte Linlin was like being in hell; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.
Just as Kaido and Charlotte Linlin launched their combined attack again, Zoro did not hesitate for a moment. He rushed out like lightning and used his body to block the fatal blow.
In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and the entire world consisted only of Zorro enduring the attack. For seconds, Zorro endured immense pressure; his bones felt as if they were about to shatter. Yet, he gritted his teeth, stubbornly refusing to give in.
Finally, the terrifying attack ended, and Zorro's body swayed precariously from the immense impact. He used his last ounce of strength to barely stand up, his face as pale as paper, but his eyes remained resolute.
However, at this moment, Zorro's body had suffered extremely severe injuries. Each wound felt like it was being gnawed by a million ants, bringing waves of excruciating pain. But his iron will did not waver in the slightest. He gripped the knife tightly in his hand, the hilt seemingly fused with his palm, becoming a part of his body. His gaze, like a burning flame, was fixed on the enemy before him, showing no sign of retreat.
At this critical moment, Prometheus suddenly pounced on Zorro like a hungry tiger, his speed as fast as lightning, clearly intending to launch a fatal blow while Zorro was injured. Zorro was startled, but he didn't panic. Instead, he unleashed all his power in an instant, like a volcanic eruption. His sword drew a dazzling arc in the air, carrying boundless killing intent and determination, as it slashed fiercely at Prometheus.
With a crisp snapping sound, Prometheus's body was cleanly cleaved in two by Zorro's blade, wisps of black smoke even rising from the cut. Zorro looked at his slain enemy and breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he knew the battle was far from over.
Just as Zoro lowered his guard, a gigantic figure appeared behind him like a ghost. It was Kaido, who was preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Luffy while Zoro was off guard. In a flash, Zoro's intuition sensed the danger behind him. Without a second thought, he swiftly turned around, unleashing the full power of his Nine-Sword Style technique.
In an instant, nine sword lights ripped through the void like lightning, striking Kaido with astonishing speed and power. These nine sword lights were like nine roaring dragons, carrying boundless might and killing intent, crashing heavily into Kaido's indestructible body.
With a deafening crash, Kaido was sent flying backward by the sudden attack, slamming heavily against a distant wall. A deep gash appeared on his body, blood gushing from it. However, Kaido was, after all, one of the powerful Four Emperors, his strength unfathomable. Even after suffering such a severe blow, he was able to recover from his shock within mere seconds.
He roared, his voice exploding in the air like thunder, making everyone's eardrums ache. Then, he unleashed his ultimate technique—Thunderous Eight Trigrams. His spiked club spun rapidly in the air, creating a violent whirlwind, before crashing down on Zorro with the force of a falling meteor.
This attack was like a thunderbolt, incredibly powerful. Zoro was completely unable to withstand it; he was sent flying by the immense force, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to rise again. In the midst of a thrilling battle, the severely wounded Zoro was quickly transported by Law to the foot of Onigashima, where he successfully reunited with Sanji. Suddenly, a "mummy" wrapped in bandages appeared before them; upon closer inspection, it was the heavily wounded Zoro. Due to the severity of his injuries, he had fallen unconscious. However, Sanji did not hesitate for a moment; he quickly hoisted Zoro onto his back and resolutely plunged into the fierce battle.
Surprisingly, Sanji cleverly uses Zoro, who is wrapped up like a mummy, as a weapon. Whenever an enemy approaches, he swings Zoro and smashes it down, inflicting heavy damage. Although Zoro is in a slumber, he seems to still be aware of his surroundings, occasionally waking up suddenly to tell Sanji the direction to go next.
Just as Sanji was locked in fierce combat with the enemy, he unexpectedly encountered Chopper. Without hesitation, Sanji entrusted Zoro to Chopper's care, then turned around and continued charging towards the enemy, bravely fighting them.
After a long and arduous battle, Zoro's situation finally took a turn for the better. The special medicine he brought from Zou Island worked, successfully enabling him to recover at an accelerated pace. Recovered, Zoro immediately rejoined the battle, fighting alongside Sanji to confront the powerful King and Queen.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Zoro couldn't help but exclaim, "If we can win this battle, we might be able to witness Luffy's glorious moment of becoming the 'Pirate King'!" These words seemed to give them boundless strength, making them even more determined to fight to the death against their enemies.
However, the battle was not without its challenges. In his fierce fight with Jhin, Zorro was at a disadvantage for a time because he was unable to break through Jhin's unique physical abilities and was firmly suppressed by Jhin.
But at this crucial moment, Zorro suddenly recalled a conversation he had with Shimotsuki Kozaburo during his childhood. This memory, like a lightning bolt piercing the darkness, allowed him to gradually understand the "personality of the sword," thus achieving self-transcendence.
After a fierce battle, the group finally discovered the secret hidden within Jhin. This secret gave them a deeper understanding of Jhin's strength and provided a crucial clue for ultimately defeating him. At the critical moment, the protagonist unleashed the ultimate move, Yama's Three-Sword Style: One Hundred and Three Emotions: Flying Dragon Servant, defeating Jhin with overwhelming force.
However, the fierce battle left Zorro severely injured. When he barely opened his eyes, he saw a figure like the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe, fiercely slashing at him. Faced with this fatal blow, Zorro was powerless to resist and instantly lost consciousness. At this critical moment, Franky arrived in time and saved Zorro.
With the defeat of powerful enemies Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, the war finally saw the dawn of victory. This arduous and protracted battle came at a great cost to everyone involved, but ultimately, victory belonged to the side of justice.
After the war, Zoro and Luffy were both unconscious for a long time. When Zoro finally woke up, his first reaction was to shout that he wanted to drink. Sanji's words still echoed in his mind, but he mercilessly mocked Sanji. The two then started fooling around as usual, seemingly forgetting the life-or-death battle they had just experienced.
The next morning, as sunlight bathed the land of Wano Country, Zoro followed Luffy, preparing to leave this place filled with memories. Just as they were leaving Wano, Zoro saw that his bounty had increased to an astonishing 1.111 billion Berries! He excitedly teased Sanji, who was ranked fourth on the bounty list, and their playful banter echoed in the air, bringing a lighthearted and enjoyable end to their adventure.
Everyone sat together, staring at the newspaper in their hands, which prominently displayed the news of Weiwei's father's death. A heavy atmosphere enveloped the room; everyone fell silent, their hearts heavy with sorrow.
Seeing this, Zoro quickly stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, don't be so sad. We need to stay calm and not let our emotions control us." However, his words did not win everyone's approval. Instead, they drew scorn and ridicule from Luffy and the others.
"Zorro, what are you saying? Vivi's father is our friend!" Luffy said angrily.
“Yeah, Zorro, how can you be so indifferent at a time like this?” Usopp chimed in.
Even the usually calm Sanji couldn't help but mock Zoro: "Hmph, you heartless bastard, so what if you're second place?"
Upon hearing Sanji's words, Zoro flew into a rage. He glared at Sanji with wide eyes and roared, "What did you say? You stinking cook!"
After saying that, the two started wrestling as usual, completely forgetting their current situation.
Just then, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, with dark clouds gathering and a howling wind sweeping in. The once calm sea began to churn violently, churning up towering waves.
"Oh no, the weather is about to change!" Nami exclaimed.
"Everyone, get on the ship quickly! We need to get out of here right away!" Luffy shouted.
The Straw Hat crew quickly sprang into action, boarding the Going Merry and preparing to set sail.
Zorro, no longer able to continue arguing with Sanji, hurriedly put on his cotton coat and rushed to the bow of the ship like an arrow, cautiously observing the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a giant water sphere on the sea ahead. The sphere, like a ferocious beast, was hurtling towards them at an astonishing speed, whipping up towering waves with overwhelming force.
Seeing this, Zorro's heart tightened. Without hesitation, he drew his three swords, their blades flashing and their cold light chilling him to the bone. He took a deep breath and unleashed his ultimate technique—One-Sword Style: Evil Bird.
In an instant, a dazzling, cold light flashed across the sea like lightning, striking the giant water sphere directly. With a loud "crack," the water sphere was instantly split in two, spraying water everywhere like a detonated bomb.
However, the moment the water sphere was split open, everyone stared in astonishment, for they never expected that a young Jewelry Bonney would be hidden inside! Her eyes were closed, as if she were fast asleep and lifeless.
Just as everyone was stunned and at a loss, suddenly, an overwhelming force swept in like a storm, and the unsuspecting Straw Hat crew was instantly swept into the raging water.
Zorro struggled desperately in the water, but since he couldn't swim, his body felt as if it were being crushed by a thousand-pound weight, and he sank rapidly. He felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, as if his lungs were about to burst, and his vision became blurred.
Just when Zoro thought he was about to give up, suddenly, a familiar force, like a ray of hope, grabbed him tightly. He looked closely and saw that it was Luffy who had intervened just in time to save him from danger!
However, before Zorro could even catch his breath, he suddenly felt a hand gripping his clothes tightly. He looked closely and saw it was Brooke's afro!
Zorro clung to Brooke's hair like a lifeline, barely managing to keep himself from sinking. But then, he suddenly sensed something approaching, as if another attack was imminent.
Just when Zorro thought he was about to die, a girl who called herself Vegabank suddenly appeared in front of him and rescued him from the water. Zorro looked at this mysterious person with great vigilance. He didn't know whether this girl was friend or foe, so he dared not relax for a moment and was ready to attack the ill-intentioned Lilith at any time.
