"Zero has finally shown his true colors! Hahaha ~" the members of the Rocks pirate group laughed. "With your abilities, you are strong enough to stop Charlotte Linlin's sword."
She looked at him carefully and thought to herself, "Who is this man? Why have I never heard of him before? His strength must be much greater than it seems."
Charlotte then narrowed her eyes and said, "Very well, I'll play with you for a while. But I'll let you know, I won't hold back."
Zero simply replied with a smile, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
And with that, their battle began. Despite Charlotte's immense strength and power, Zero was able to hold his own, displaying impressive skill and
Whitebeard was known as the strongest man in the world, and his interest in Zero was not surprising. He was curious to see what this man was capable of, and whether he could withstand Charlotte Linlin's power. The golden lion was also intrigued by Zero, as he was one of the few people who could block the sword of the legendary pirate. It was clear that Zero had hidden his true strength, and the world was about to witness a new level of power.
These pirates on the ship are not used to seeing Zero take action. When they do see him use his sword haki, it's usually not very impressive. However, a powerful pirate king has come aboard and is eager to see the competition between Zero and Charlotte Linlin.
Wang zhi is a pirate from an enigmatic Eastern country. He possesses remarkable strength and is a skilled swordsman, making him a member of the Rock Pirate crew.
Compared to the Golden Lion, Zero excels in swordsmanship and sees himself as fit to compete for the title of the greatest swordsman in the world.
After the first World War in the Valley of God, it appeared that Wang Zhi had vanished and the Golden Lion became the world's strongest swordsman and held the title of one of the three legendary pirates.
It was believed that Wang Zhi, the powerful pirate, had died in the first World War in the Valley of God. However, the seven strongest members on the ship were his most loyal followers in the Rocks pirate group.
"Zero, I am eager to see your skills with a sword," Wang Zhi said in a friendly tone.
"My swordsmanship is nothing special, but it should be enough to block Charlotte Linlin's sword," Zero replied confidently.
Wang Zhi looked at the young man with confidence, as if he saw a reflection of himself in him.
"In the future, I'll wait for you to become the world's greatest swordsman," Wang Zhi said.
"The world's greatest swordsman? Hmm... that sounds like a stressful title, but I'm curious about it now," the young man, Zero, replied.
Before, Zero was not interested in this title. He only thought it might bring him some money. However, he was mainly afraid of losing his life. But now, the system has protected him and even granted him immortality.
Zero decided to take a bit more risks, as he was not certain he would be able to come back to life if he died. He believes that it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Ha ha ha ~ Hey! You guys are ignoring me! Shiki! I want to be the world's greatest swordsman, but you guys have to get past me first!" the man with golden hair yelled, like a lion, waving his hair.
"John, you're also a great swordsman. Don't you want to be the world's greatest?" someone asked John.
"Don't encourage me," John replied as he cleaned his western sword, "it's just a fake title. I'd rather have real treasure. All the treasures in the world is what I want."
The person who tried to encourage John felt awkward. He was one of the seven strongest members of the Rock Pirates.
Zero didn't know his name, as it wasn't mentioned in the original book.
The competition was decided to be held on an island, with the seven strongest members and many other crew members watching from a distance.
People were talking about Zero, "Do you know who Zero is?"
"I think he's one of the members on the ship..."
"He doesn't sound like a powerful member. Can he beat one of the strongest members?"
"I heard that the winner will only need one sword strike..."
Zero and Charlotte Linlin stood on opposite sides of the field, facing each other. The atmosphere was intense.
Everyone held their breath and watched the competition closely.
Although it was just one move, they could see something special in it.
Zero held his sword tight and said, "It's just one strike! Captain, you have to watch out for me. I'm afraid of being killed by crazy Linlin!"
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere on the field became awkward.
Xebec, Whitebeard, the golden lion, and Wang Zhi all went silent.
Charlotte Linlin laughed, "You talked so big on the ship. I didn't expect you to be so scared of death! What kind of pirate is afraid of death? Are you even a man?"
Zero wanted to roll his eyes, but he realized he couldn't do that, so he raised his middle finger instead.
"That's because I know death better than you... I learned that only after I died once. It's better to live than die. Who else wants to be a pirate!"
"Am I a man? Would you like to find out? I'm sure you won't be able to get out of bed after I'm done with you," Charlotte Linlin challenged.
She didn't understand what it meant to die once and didn't get the meaning of Zero's words.
Despite her insult, Zero could hear and see it clearly.
"Greasy kid, I hope you can survive my attack," Charlotte Lin
