One Piece: Wudang White Night, Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates

The two of them were so happy that they had to face each other.

[Promise me! ]

The boy roared at the girl:

[One day, it will be either me or you who will become the strongest swordsman in the world! ]

[Let's see who can become the strongest swordsman! ! ! ]

The boy wiped away his tears and looked determined!

The girl pursed her lips to prevent tears from falling.

Under the moonlight, the two held hands tightly——

Agreement reached!!!

——

Bai Ye:...

Seeing Zoro fall into memories for the first time, Bai Ye naturally guessed something.

He also knew that the only person who could make Zoro show such an expression was that girl.

Kuina, the daughter of Zoro's mentor Koshiro.

She was also the one Zoro had been pursuing when he was learning swordsmanship at the kendo hall.

The two had made a vow under the moonlight, promising to ascend to the throne of the world's number one.

But an accident happened, and Kuina's life forever stopped at the age of 10.

It was also this incident that gave Zoro a new goal that surpassed the past.

Zoro knelt in front of his mentor Koshiro, tears kept dripping, and he choked and said:

[Teacher, give me that sword. ]

[Please give me Kuina's sword. ]

Zoro raised his head and shouted:

[I will become stronger with her share! ]

[I will be so strong that my name will resound through heaven! ! ! ]

[I will become the strongest swordsman in the world! ! ! ]

[Because... because... because that's what we agreed on! ! ! ]

Since then, Zoro has obtained Wado Ichimonji.

He also officially changed from a two-sword swordsman to a three-sword swordsman.

This is a story that is full of pain even in memories.

So it is not difficult for Bai Ye to understand the hoarseness in Zoro's voice.

"I don't care about the younger generation or the same age group."

Zoro stroked the Wado Ichimonji and spoke slowly:

"If it takes 28 years to reach the top--"

Zoro looked up at the sky, as if looking for someone:

"It will make someone wait too long."

"So, I need your help, Bai Ye."

Finally, Zoro finally turned his head to look at Bai Ye and said this.

Although Zoro knew that he should not be anxious, and that his current strength could not covet the throne of the world's number one.

However, he couldn't wait any longer.

When facing Hawkeye, he promised Luffy and Bai Ye that he would not lose again.

But what is the truth?

Whether it was Kake or Aokiji, without the help of his companions or Byakuya, what awaited him was only a clean defeat.

He didn't want this to happen. For Zoro, who had a [promise], such a day was simply torture for him.

This was also the reason why he had gone astray before, obsessed with domineering and neglected the swordsmanship itself.

On weekdays, Zoro had to undergo high-intensity training every day in order to catch up.

But this time, because of the teleportation, Zoro lay in the room for a whole day.

Instead, Zoro figured out some things, so after recovering, he first found Byakuya.

And said the above sentence.

Because he knew that only Byakuya could help him at present.

At the same time, Byakuya's expression was confused with a hint of shock.

This was the first time Byakuya heard that Zoro could make such a "humble" request.

This made him speechless for a while.

The more important reason was that Byakuya didn't know what Zoro meant by help at all.

Seeing him like this, Zoro also explained.

"When we faced the candidate for admiral, we couldn't hurt him even a little bit even if we joined forces."

"But after you forcibly sent us away, you chopped that guy like that by yourself."

"That kind of slash is already on another level."

"I want to learn!"

"As long as I can learn it, I can bear any price."

Facing his vice-captain, Zoro put down his swordsman's pride for the first time and humbly asked for advice.

And the help he wanted to ask for was not just this-

"Bai Ye, your strength is improving very quickly."

"Especially this battle with Aokiji, it made me feel your terrifying growth speed."

Speaking of this, Zoro actually showed a rare envy:

"Even Luffy, I and that perverted cook have grown fast enough."

"But if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would take only three of us to survive."

It won't last long, and will be defeated. "

Zoro looked directly at Bai Ye:

"If possible, please let me have such an opportunity to grow."

At this moment, Bai Ye finally understood what kind of help Zoro was talking about.

Bai Ye was also thinking carefully about his request.

Yes, Bai Ye did not intend to refuse Zoro's request.

On the one hand, the two were partners who could sacrifice their lives for each other. On the other hand, Bai Ye, who had changed his mentality, naturally hoped that Zoro would be as strong as possible.

So this point needs to be planned carefully.

First, it was the slash against Kake.

In fact, Zoro really misunderstood. The reason why it was so powerful that time was entirely because Bai Ye put the The result of all the surging energy being released.

A typical mutually destructive move.

In other words, anyone with the energy in Bai Ye's body at that time could have used such a slash.

Then the focus should be on the second requirement.

Growth opportunity.

Perhaps Zoro didn't know, but Bai Ye knew very well that there were many reasons why he could have such a terrifying growth rate.

First of all, the method of cultivation, whether it was the Golden Light Curse or the Fenghou Qimen, they were all top-level techniques.

This is just like the heavenly mental method and martial arts in fantasy novels.

One Once the practice is successful, there will naturally be a qualitative difference between it and those street vendors.

Of course, it is extremely difficult to get started with this top-level technique.

And this has to be attributed to the cheats that the Taoist Ji Lu gave himself.

Full-level enlightenment buff, abundant practice environment and the most important time flow.

After a set of processes, Bai Ye was able to achieve such a significant practice effect in such a short time.

Finally, the reason why Bai Ye's strength can be at this point today is thanks to the heart demon tribulation.

Whether it is the understanding of the Qiankun two hexagrams, or the sudden Breaking the Golden Light Curse was all the work of the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Thinking of this, the answer is obvious.

Among these three aspects, Bai Ye can only provide the last one to Sauron.

Overcoming the tribulation is also one of the fastest ways for a Qi practitioner to improve his strength.

It is second only to practicing evil magic.

Of course, Bai Ye cannot directly cause Sauron to have a Heart Demon Tribulation.

What's more, the Heart Demon Tribulation is only useful for a sorcerer like Bai Ye who has practiced Qimen magic and refined the inner scene.

Among the ancient Qi practitioners, the sword cultivators who entered the Dao with swords also had a tribulation similar to the Heart Demon Tribulation.

That is [Demon]!
