Be willing to admit defeat.
Zoro still couldn't deny his previous agreement.
However, he also expressed an attitude, that is, when he can defeat Ron, Ron must take him to find Hawkeye. This is the only requirement for doing things for Ron.
Ron naturally agreed, but couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
By setting such a requirement, I'm afraid Zoro will never be able to fight Hawkeye for the rest of his life. Don't forget that he can't beat Hawkeye now, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to fight him in the future.
In less than two years since he came to this world, his strength has already risen to the level of the middle and lower ranks of the Shichibukai. He is not far away from the top of the Three Disasters and Generals. If he takes two more steps, he will become a navy admiral. Now, standing at the pinnacle of the sea!
Maybe by the time Sauron has the strength to fight Hawkeye, he will have already surpassed Hawkeye, but Sauron still can't cross his threshold... This agreement is actually that Sauron put a chain on himself, Ron I smiled in my heart, but didn’t point it out.
It took him nearly half a month to find Zoro.
In the past half month, his mental attributes have increased by one point, reaching 199 points, just one point away from 200 points, and on the verge of breaking through at any time.
"It turns out that you, like that guy, are both Shichibukai..."
On a small boat, Sauron was sitting there with a bandage on his body, crossing his arms across his chest and looking sideways at Ron, who was not far away.
Ron stood on the deck with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sea. Hearing Sauron's words, he turned his head and said, "That's why I said, 'Even I can't beat Hawkeye.' It's because of the relationship between me and him." The distance is not very far.”
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous to say such things to the world's greatest swordsman?"
After hearing Ron's words, Zoro said: "That's just right. In other words, if I beat you, I will indeed be strong enough to challenge that man to a duel."
Seeing Zoro's unruly look, Ron wasn't angry at all.
After all, they are forcibly bound by a promise, not like Luffy did to rescue Zoro and then reach a promise with his companions. But it doesn't matter. Zoro is Zoro. Once he agrees to the promise, he will never violate it, and there will be no Big difference.
"You are so determined."
Ron used his spiritual perspective, glanced at Sauron's spirit, and murmured in his heart.
Although Sauron's mental power is not as strong as his, and has not even exceeded 50 points, his level of concentration is extremely high, almost on par with Ron's now.
The degree of cohesion represents quality, and the specific points represent quantity. Sauron cannot be compared with him in terms of quantity, but he is not much worse than him in terms of quality. In other words, if Sauron learns magic, it will be very easy. Can master it.
But after thinking about it, Ron didn't mention it.
It is impossible for Sauron to learn magic. His tenacious will is purely for swordsmanship. Let alone transformation magic, even if he becomes a magic swordsman, he will not accept it. What he wants is a pure sword, a pure sword. kendo.
"Then what I...actually want is pure magic."
Ron murmured in his mind.
The use of energy to control the sword and the fancy sword energy shown before against Sauron were actually just mental power and wind blade skills, and had nothing to do with sword skills.
Of course, he can also learn swordsmanship, combine swordsmanship with magic, and turn himself into a magic swordsman, but in fact, like Sauron, he disdains things other than magic.
Zoro is an absolutely dedicated swordsman.
Then he is an absolutely dedicated magician.
In this dark place, with firm self-belief and will, Ron's spirit, which had already reached the limit of 199 points and was close to the edge of 200 points, finally quietly made a little progress.
It was this little bit that allowed him to completely cross the 200-point barrier from 199 points!
boom!
It was as if the spiritual world was exploding.
At this moment, Ron felt that his soul began to rise. It was not a rise from a spiritual perspective, but a true rise out of the body!
The tightly bound shackles of the body were completely broken by the transformed spirit at this moment.
His mental power got rid of the shackles of the physical body and flew out of the physical body, floating directly above his body in a ghostly image.
"You can't see me...it seems to be different from Perona's negative ghost."
Ron flew in front of Zoro, shook it, and found that Zoro did not see him, but Zoro also felt a little strange, as if he was being stared at, and was extremely uncomfortable.
He looked around vigilantly, but he could only see Ron's back standing in front of the deck with his hands behind his hands, and could not see any other figures.
"what happened?"
Zoro frowned and put a hand on the hilt of his sword.
Seeing that Sauron was extremely vigilant, Ron did not try to stimulate him too much. Instead, he flew back to his body and realized the changes in himself at this moment.
First of all, the speed of thinking has skyrocketed again, more than three times faster than before!
The second is more detailed observation.
He looked at his body and could see every blood vessel, every drop of blood, and even the countless cells in every drop of blood!
When his eyes penetrated further into the cells, he could even see the internal structure of each cell clearly, just like the picture under a super high-power microscope!
"I seem to be able to..."
Just staring at his body, an idea suddenly came to Ron's mind.
He couldn't contain the idea as soon as it appeared, and he began to try it.
then.
Zoro's eyes widened when he looked at Ron's back.
He saw that one of Ron's arms suddenly began to decompose, from nails to skin to flesh and blood vessels... everything was separated one by one and suspended in the air.
Then Zoro saw an even more horrifying scene.
He saw that Ron's body was also beginning to decompose, and the skin was detached and suspended on the far left. To the right was a large group of bright red blood, to the right were slender blood vessels, to the right were all the muscle tissue, and to the right It is a skeleton without any blood stains, and finally the heart and other internal organs.
"!!!"
Even with extraordinary willpower, Sauron at this moment couldn't help but say: "What the hell?! Hello, Ron? Ron?!"
An ordinary person would have been frightened by this strange scene and jumped off the ship, but Zoro had already grasped the hilt of the sword as if facing a formidable enemy.
Crash.
Part of the blood flew towards the skeleton, together with a small amount of tissue such as the tongue, lungs and trachea, gathered at the mouth of the skeleton, and then said to Zoro: "It's okay, don't worry about me, this is the ability of the Devil Fruit..."
Zoro: "..."
What kind of devil fruit ability is this? This is obviously a devil's ability. Are you still a human being? !
