Chapter 62 The Appearance of the Future's Strongest Swordsman!
The aura emanating from the depths of the ruins was not Conqueror's Haki.
It is more powerful, and more deadly.
That was a killing intent refined to the extreme, the Asura aura that one could only possess after slaying countless powerful enemies!
The air itself seemed to be shattered into pieces by this aura.
Marco's expression was more solemn than ever before.
He stared intently at the ruins, the azure flames of the phoenix rising from his body, protecting him and Chen Ye within them.
This aura...
He had never sensed such a thing from any of the top swordsmen, such as Roger at his peak, Whitebeard at his peak, and Rayleigh at his peak!
But even when the old man was furious, Hawkeye Mihawk never displayed such pure, chilling sharpness when he swung his sword!
It was as if the person standing there was not a single person.
Instead, it is an unparalleled and supreme great sword capable of cleaving through heaven and earth and splitting open hell!
Only Luffy's face showed an even stronger expression of excitement.
He grinned, revealing an extremely bright smile, and shouted towards the ruins:
"Zoro!!"
The words fell.
"tread."
A clear footstep echoed from the shadows of the ruins.
Followed by.
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
That was a man.
His signature short green hair is like the most resilient seaweed.
His bronze skin was covered with crisscrossing scars, each scar a badge of honor.
His left eye was tightly closed, and a hideous scar ran vertically across it, adding to his fierce appearance.
And that open right eye was as sharp as an eagle soaring in the sky. Just being swept by that gaze made one feel as if their soul was being pierced!
He wore three long swords at his waist.
The word "harmony".
The third generation of ghosts.
Enma.
Any one of them is a legendary sword that could drive countless swordsmen mad!
When these three knives appear on one person at the same time, the meaning they represent is self-evident.
The future world's greatest swordsman!
The first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates!
Roronoa Zoro, the "Three-Sword Style"!
he came!
The moment Zoro's figure was fully exposed to the sunlight, Marco's heart, which had been hanging in suspense due to extreme vigilance, suddenly relaxed.
It turns out he was Straw Hat Boy's companion.
That's fine.
But the next second, an even more terrifying shock than when he discovered the fourth person swept over his entire body like a tsunami!
His pupils suddenly contracted to the most dangerous pinpoints!
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back, soaking through my clothes!
How is that possible?!
Marco roared in disbelief in his heart!
He actually...
He was completely unaware of the man's presence!
Until the other party actively released that ghostly aura, his Observation Haki scanned the area no less than ten times, and the result was always that there was nothing there!
The aura of a top-tier expert can be concealed and hidden.
But it's absolutely impossible for them to "disappear"!
Especially under the full perception of another expert of the same level!
unless……
A thought that even he found absurd flashed through Marco's mind.
Unless this man's strength, or rather his control over his own aura, far surpasses that of himself!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he instinctively dismissed it.
Are you kidding me!
He is the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, a Yonko-level powerhouse who has fought alongside the "world's strongest man" for decades!
In this world, there are very few people who can consistently outdo him!
A swordsman in the Straw Hat Pirates... How is that possible?!
But the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe them!
This future Roronoa Zoro...
Its true strength has probably reached an unbelievable and terrifying level!
He has truly grown into a qualified first mate capable of assisting the Pirate King!
Unlike the turmoil in Marco's heart.
Chen Ye's face still wore that playful smile.
He looked at the green-haired swordsman who exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, his eyes filled with admiration.
This is the Zoro he remembers.
That man who, for the sake of his companions, could unhesitatingly bear all the pain and take a step toward hell.
The man who could give up everything to become stronger, even bowing down and kneeling before the man he wanted to surpass his entire life.
The aura emanating from him was that of a true powerhouse.
It's the aura of Asura!
"Zoro! So you came along too!"
When Luffy saw Zoro, he immediately ran over excitedly and punched him in the chest.
Zoro glanced at his eccentric captain, and the lines on his tense face softened slightly.
Zoro only shows a rare tenderness when facing his own captain!
But he did not let his guard down.
Without making a sound, he shifted half a step to the side, shielding most of Luffy's body behind him.
This subtle movement made Chen Ye's smile deepen.
Zoro's gaze, like two drawn blades, shot straight at Chenye and Marco.
His right hand was already lightly resting on the hilt of the "Wado Ichimonji" sword at his waist.
The guards and scabbards of the three famous swords made a soft clanging sound.
With just the motion of preparing to draw his sword, the extremely sharp sword energy caused fine cracks to appear on the surrounding ground!
"you……"
Zoro spoke up.
His voice was deep and hoarse, with a metallic, grating quality.
"Who is it?"
His gaze lingered briefly on Chen Ye before turning to Marco.
He remembered that face with the pineapple-shaped haircut.
He had seen it on the battlefield of Ghost Island.
"That blond guy with the pineapple head..."
Zoro frowned slightly, his eyes showing a hint of scrutiny and confusion.
"Your name is Marco, right? I've seen you before."
Hearing this, Marco felt a little more at ease.
Now that we know each other, things will be easier.
He was just about to step forward to explain and show that he meant no harm.
However, Zoro's next words left him stuck in place!
"but……"
Zoro's right eye narrowed slightly, its sharp glint seemingly intent on dissecting Marco from the inside out.
"You give me a slightly different feeling right now."
boom!
These words, like a thunderclap, exploded in Marco's mind!
His mind went completely blank for a moment!
We've been...discovered?!
That's impossible!
Their time travel would be undetectable to most people, except for freaks like Rayleigh who have honed their Observation Haki to the point of being able to briefly foresee the future!
How could this swordsman possibly see that?!
What exactly did he realize?!
Zoro ignored Marco's shocked expression.
He simply spoke his most genuine feelings based on his beast-like, keen intuition.
He had seen Marco, the one who fought Jhin and Quinn on the Ghost Island battlefield.
At that time, although Marco appeared somewhat exhausted from the series of battles, he exuded an aura of composure and strength that came from years of experience.
It's like a lighthouse that has weathered countless storms and still stands tall.
And this Marco in front of us...
Although the aura was equally powerful, or even more vigorous.
But beneath that vigorous vitality lies a lack of the sedimentation of time.
The feeling was subtle, like...
How many years younger?
No, that's not right.
It's not just about age.
There's an inexplicable sense of disharmony about the person's entire "presence".
Zoro didn't know how to describe this feeling.
But he trusted his intuition.
There's definitely something fishy about these two people in front of me!
"Luffy".
Zoro spoke to the captain behind him without turning his head.
"Stay away from them."
His voice already carried a hint of cold killing intent.
The three famous swords at his waist began to emit excited humming sounds!
The atmosphere instantly froze to freezing point!
Marco had absolutely no idea how to explain the situation before him.
At that moment, Chen Ye took a step forward.
Meeting Zoro's murderous gaze, his smile grew even brighter.
"As expected of the future world's greatest swordsman."
Chen Ye's voice broke the deathly silence.
"Your intuition is truly... almost freakish."
