I, the Fruit Snatcher

"I'm happy to accompany you. But I don't have any weapons. Please wait for me first."

Qin Lang searched around the forest and happily picked up a branch half a meter long and as thick as a pigeon egg from the ground.

"Hey, it's you!"

Qin Lang used his two fingers covered with armed color to rub the surface of the branch twice, making it smooth and clean.

"Woo woo……"

Qin Lang waved the branches in the air a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself:

"Let’s call you Famous Sword: [Musheng]."

Qin Lang held the 'Famous Sword Musheng' with one hand, pointed towards Sauron, and said with a smile:

"I'm ready, come on!"

Qin Lang is even more arrogant than Hawkeye.

Are all swordsmen such proud bastards?

When saying this, Zoro obviously had no self-awareness.

Zoro's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Are you planning to fight me with a broken branch you picked up casually?"

Qin Lang said with a smile:

"Don't worry, this is a 'high-quality sword' that you can't cut with your current strength. Just go for it."

Zoro gritted his teeth, squatted down to gather strength, and said coldly:

"There is a limit to how you look down on me. Watch me cut your"famous sword" in half with one blow.

If you are hacked to death by me, it will prove that you are nothing more than that."

Facing Sauron's murderous declaration, Qin Lang smiled slightly:

"What if I'm still alive? Sauron said in a deep voice:

"Next, if you are still alive, I will recognize you as my partner."

Zoroun moved forward with his sword, slashing from top to bottom.

""Ichisou Style: Moon Slash!"

Facing Zoro's slash, Qin Lang stood there with a smile, motionless.

He watched Zoro's [Wado Ichimonji] swing in front of him, so close that he could even see his silhouette in the sword light.

Until then,

Qin Lang's"Musheng" was lightly raised up, parrying with Zoro's sword.

Bang!

【The moment Hedao Yijiwen came into contact with 'Mu Sheng', the huge impact force produced was completely beyond Zoro's imagination.

The huge force transmitted from Mu forced Zoro to fly backwards.

Zoro did two somersaults in the air before converting the force, and stepped on the ground again with his feet.

After landing, Sauron immediately looked at Qin Lang's hands.

"How can this be!"

Sauron looked at the intact branch in the opponent's hand in disbelief, and was shocked.

Qin Lang is very strong, there is no doubt about it.

But he can't even cut off a branch used by the opponent as a weapon?

We Is there such a huge difference in strength...

I have made a promise with Luffy that I will never lose again until I defeat Hawkeye and become the world's greatest builder! But do you think

I'm going to lose again?

Hearing the confusion rising in Sauron's heart,

Qin Lang waved the [Mu Sheng] in his hand and gestured:

"Zoro, don't worry about the result of the fight.

This is an unfair fight.

I have a fighting technique that you have not yet encountered.

Look, has the branch in my hand changed?"

"Change?"

Sauron suppressed his confusion and looked at the stick in Qin Lang's hand.

Hey!

Sauron was surprised to find that at some point, the stick in Qin Lang's hand had changed color and turned black.

Qin Lang put away the domineering aura wrapped around the stick and released it again, demonstrating the process of this change to Sauron:

"This is a kind of Haki, called Armament Haki.

Covering the surface of a weapon with Armament Haki can make the weapon stronger and tougher.

At the moment when the"Mu Sheng" in my hand came into contact with [Wado Ichimonji], I covered it with Armament Haki.

You who have not yet mastered this fighting technique, even if you hold a sharp sword in your hand, you can't cut off the fragile branch in my hand."

Speaking of this, Qin Lang narrowed his eyes:

"Is defeat considered a loss?

No! It is also a shame for a swordsman to have his weapon nicked by the enemy!

Only by mastering this kind of fighting technique that can turn any sword into a black sword that will never collapse, can you be considered to have stepped into the threshold of a great swordsman."

Black sword!

" Qin Lang's words made Zoro subconsciously think of a sharp figure that impressed him deeply and brought him despair for the first time in his life.

The weapon held by that man was a black sword.

Hawkeye Mihawk.

Qin Lang seemed to see through Zoro's mind and said with a smile:

"Hawkeye, the world's number one swordsman, has mastered this skill to perfection.

An ordinary sword can become a peerless black sword in his hands.

Just an ordinary blow can also cause great destructive power.

Zoro, if you want to catch up with him, mastering this skill is a must."

Qin Lang said as he casually swung the 'Musheng' wrapped in the Armament Haki on his hand to the ground.

"boom!"

In an instant, with a huge roar, a bottomless ravine appeared between Qin Lang and Sauron.

Looking at the ravine splitting from his feet, Sauron remained motionless and did not give in.

But there was horror in his eyes. , it was already difficult to suppress.

Under Sauron's shocked gaze, Qin Lang inserted 'Musheng' on the ground, sat back on the stone, and said slowly:

"Zoro, the gap between you and me is like this gulf."

"call! Zoro took a deep breath.

He was afraid of losing, but he was even more afraid of not looking directly into his heart:

"I lost."

Zoro put the [Wado Ichimonji] back into the sheath with a trembling hand and asked seriously:

"Qin Lang, what is the gap between you and Hawkeye?"

Qin Lang thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"The difference between great swordsmen can only be known after trying them."

Sauron secretly swore in his heart: Before catching up with the eagle, he must first defeat Qin Lang!

What Sauron didn't know was that the moment Qin Lang looked at the eagle eye, Qin Lang was already able to surpass the eagle eye.

His understanding is beyond the sky. The system is worthy of its name. I really want to learn from it!

Sauron spoke softly and whispered to Qin Lang:

"Qin Lang, can I learn from you how to use this Armament Haki?"

Qin Lang opened his eyes in surprise and asked in confusion:

"why not? Haven't we already become partners? The stronger my partner, the safer I am, right?"

Hearing Qin Lang's puzzled voice, Sauron's face turned red.

Qin Lang already regarded himself as a partner, but he was still talking behind his back.

Because he was afraid of his power, he doubted his purpose.

Such a comparison in his mind , Sauron's face became even hotter.

But Sauron is indeed Sauron. He has the courage to face his true inner thoughts and correct them. He only takes what is right and does not ask for help.

Shen Sheng admitted her mistake and said:

""Sorry! Qin Lang.

I have always been afraid of your strength and doubted your purpose. I didn't really regard you as a partner.

But from now on, I will never doubt any of your intentions.

I want to learn how to use Armament Haki from you.

Then I will use the Armament Haki you taught me to defeat you!"

As expected of Zoro, he never hides his ambition.

Qin Lang smiled slightly, pointed to the 'Mu Sheng' under his feet and said:

"Zoro, I will bring this 'treasure sword' aboard the Merry, and use it to spar with you and inspire you.

If one day you can cut it, that will be when you have mastered the Armament Haki."

Zoro nodded vigorously, looking at the 'wooden sword' that he had looked down upon before, and replied in a deep voice:

"OK! It’s a deal!"

……

Sanji was walking in the forest with a cigarette in his mouth.

He greeted a green algae-headed swordsman who was obviously lost but pretended to be taking a walk.

"Yo, lost again? Green algae-headed idiot, the boat is on your right!"

"Curly-browed nympho, I'm just taking a walk!"

Zoro glared at Sanji angrily, and noticed that the direction Sanji was heading seemed to be the area where Qin Lang was.

He immediately knew the purpose of Sanji's going to the island.

Zoro pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and sneered:

"Do you want to find Qin Lang?"

Sanji glanced at Zoro and blew out a smoke ring:

"He is not a beautiful woman, so why should I look for him? The spices on the ship are going to be used up. I'm going to look for some spices on the island. Sauron didn't believe it at all and said disdainfully:

"If you want to find abuse, I won't stop you. Anyway, it’s not me who gets beaten half to death."

"It seems that someone has been abused. Don't worry, I'm not you, I won't do such an idiotic thing."

Sanji sneered, not bothering to pay attention to this idiotic swordsman, turned and left.

Zoro stared at the other's back, snorted disdainfully, turned and walked to the left.

The ship is here, this time it's definitely right!
