41 Chapter 40 (2/2)

”NEVER!” Screaming out Sajni rushed at him, but the man was able to block his kick with his own.

”I might even teach you my Okama Kenpo if you ask me nicely. You will be a perfect practitioner for it.” The okama told Sanji.

”Stop with your bullshit!” He yelled out and quickly started spinning rapidly in place, making his lower legs grow bright red in the process.

”Oh my, you are already learning it you will be the perfect boyfriend.” The okama exclaimed with hearts in his eyes while spinning like a ballerina.

”SHUT UP!!!” Sanji screamed out and kicked at him. The okama was able to block the attack, but it set him ablaze and burned his clothes.

”You have to take responsibility!” The okama seeing that his clothes were burned off, shrieked and ran away, while Sanji was puking from seeing him naked. After emptying his stomach, he continued walking towards the Palace with tears in his eyes.

Zoro was exchanging blows with a tall, tanned man with long thin limbs and fingers with the kanji for number one tattooed on his chest. He is very muscular with a shaved head and has a black unibrow.

”A swordsman stands no chance against me,” Mr.1 told Zoro after blocking an attack by transforming his hand into a blade.

”That's because you haven't fought me before,” Zoro answered him and slashed with his three sword style. Mr.1 blocked the attack but got hurt in the process.

”Tsch, well you have some skill, but that was your last hit.” Mr.1 transformed his hands and fingers into blades and coated them with Armament Haki. He swung and crossed his arms sending several wind blades at Zoro, who got blown away trying to defend against the attack.

Getting up he removed the black bandanna from his left bicep and tied it around his head.

”I guess this would be fun,” Zoro said with a mad grin on his face, hungry for battle. Using Soru, he was able to use his superior speed to his advantage, but Mr.1 being a proficient hand to hand martial artist, was able to block his attacks.

”You might be able to cut through steel, but you can't do anything about Armament Haki.” Mr.1 calmly stated and transformed his feet into blades, making them look like ice skates. With that, he started matching Zoro in speed. His increased speed further increased his already strong attacks, and Zoro was sent flying with blood sprouting from his body.

Standing up Zoro had two big x-shaped wounds on his chest, but he still had the same mad grin on his face. Mr.1 wasn't faltered and charged at him again. Try as he might, Zoro wasn't able to defend against his Armament Haki coated arms and was sent flying.

Nonetheless, Zoro stood up again and had an even crazier look on his face. He jumped forward while spinning in the air forming a ball shape with his blades. He flew past, Mr.1 and managed to wound him on his chest, but took another hit from Mr.1 in the process.

”I thought you said that I had my last hit earlier,” Zoro told Mr.1 with a cocky grin. Mr.1 didn't respond and charged at him while creating circular blades along his forearms and making them spin. Coating them in Armament Haki, he attacked Zoro, who despite trying to block the attack was sent flying with another nasty wound on his chest. Shakily Zoro stood up again.

”A mere swordsman like you will never defeat me.” Mr.1 calmy stated and started moving towards him on his blade skates. Zoro crossed his two swords across his chest and placed the blade in his mouth horizontally behind them. Using Soru, he charged at him and swung his swords at Mr.1, who was able to block the moment when the three swords were all lined up.Despite that, he was overpowered and sent flying with wounds on his arms.

”I'm no mere swordsman! I willbecome the greatest swordsman in the world!” Zoro stated to the surprised Mr.1, who was still looking at his bleeding arms.

”You!?!” Mr1. said while standing up. He looked at Zoro in a different way after getting wounded despite his arms being coated Armament Haki. Mr.1 was starting at Zoro's swords which had a small black luster at the top. Despite being shocked at seeing that, Mr.1 prepared to finish this fight.

Zoro held up his swords in an inverse triangular formation before spinning the swords together. Rotating them rapidly he used Soru to attack the charging Mr.1. Slashing with all three swords at once, he left Mr.1 with three big wounds on his chest, but not without being wounded himself as well.

”I accept my defeat.” Mr.1 looked back at him one more time, before falling unconscious on the ground. Zoro held himself from falling on the ground using his swords as a cane and sluggishly made his way towards the Palace. Unfortunately, he was going in the opposite direction.

Xander using his Devil Fruit powers had created an iron sheet and used it to fly towards the Palace. Upon reaching there, Crocodile had already dealt with all the royal guards and had the King of Alabasta pinned to a wall.

Crocodile is a tall man with pale skin and nape-length black hair which is kept neatly slicked back. He has a long stitched scar at the bridge of his nose that stretches across his face and a large hook made from a tough gold alloy in place of his left hand. Crocodile dressed like a mafia boss was evilly looking at the King of Alabasta.

”CROCODILE!” Xander screamed out before sending his iron attacks at him, but they all safely passed through his sand body.

”Do I know you?” Crocodile asked.

”Fifteen years ago, you destroyed the Panema Kingdom and killed off everyone from the royal family, except a single eight-year-old kid. That kid has come back for revenge now!” Xander yelled out trapped Crocodile in an iron box. Sadly that wasn't enough to hold him, and he was easily cut through it with the hook on his left arm.

”Kuhahahaha! I remember you now. You are that stupid boy I left with a hole in his cheek. You are way too much in your head if you think you can fight me.” Crocodile said while slashing with his right arm and sending a wave of sand at Xander, who transformed into his logia form to evade the attack. Seeing this Crocodile smirked, before rushing at him and grabbing him with a black coated arm.

”You are too week to fight me. I might be able to suck the moisture out of you, but without Haki, you stand no chance against me.” Crocodile coated his hook with Armament Haki and was about to pierce Xander, before a fist with black liquid dripping from it hit him in the head, sending him flying in the process.
