Jamming Tres' saber with one of his weapons, Zoro used a second saber in an attempt to disembowel her. Nevertheless, raising her foot, Tres kicked the weapon to deflect his trajectory. Then, she jumped back and Zoro took the opportunity to create a sharp gust of wind.
" 36 KLESHA SLASH ! "
Again, Tres halted the attack by hitting it with her sword. Then, being out of danger, she showed her saber to Zoro, whose blade shone in the sun.
"Did you see? Even by hitting it again and again, you couldn't do any damage to it! This blade is unbreakable! It has no weak points."
" It has one. " Zoro retorted. "Its user is not as invincible as it is."
Remaining silent, Tres finally nodded, while declaring.
"You are not wrong! Nevertheless, even if I am his weak point, you are not strong enough to defeat me! So why do you persist in fighting? All I want is your saber."
Remaining silent, Zoro finally retorts.
"You're just a woman."
" Huh ? "
"Earlier, you said you wanted to become the best swordsman in the world! But that's impossible, because you're just a woman."
Hearing this, Tres gritted her teeth and was unable to hide her rage.
"Damn it! You're one of those men who thinks women are inferior to them? Damn it! You disgust me?"
Tightening her grip on the hilt of her sword, she retorted.
"Women can become as strong as men! No, they can even surpass them! I will defeat Milhawk and prove it to the world."
Again, Zoro frowned, while he was sure that Kuina would have reacted the same way as her.
"And where does this desire to become the best swordsman come from?"
"I don't know." Tres confessed.
" Huh ? What do you mean ?
"Want you to know where my determination comes from ? To be honest, twenty years ago, I lost my memory and I woke up not knowing who it was! My only memory I had was this dream that I have kept! This dream of becoming the best swordswoman in the world! And for 20 years, I have trained relentlessly! And even though I know that I am still not ready to fight Milhawk, I swear that one day I will will surpass it."
" 20 years old? " Zoro repeated.
"Impossible... It's impossible."
"And this sword?" the man asked, pointing to his Ichimonji. " Why do you want it ? "
"I don't know." Tres confessed. "It's just that...I feel like I've wielded it before."
Suddenly, she was surprised to see the sword that Zoro was holding in his mouth, fall at his feet, while the man stared at her in bewilderment.
"Hey, what's up with you?"
"Your face..." Zoro said. "Show me your face."
Again, Tres looked surprised. Then, seeming to understand his reaction, she questioned him.
" Do you know who I am ? "
"Show your face." Zoro ordered.
Seeming hesitant at first, Tres eventually put her hand on the top of her hood, before slowly pulling it back. Then, a cascade of long white hair fell over her shoulders, while Zoro stared at the green iris of the young woman's left eye, while her right eye was hidden behind an eye patch.
Dumbfounded, Zoro noticed that the woman in front of him seemed to be completely different from Kuina. Yet... Yet... he didn't know why but, as he continued to stare at her face, he felt like he recognized his friend who died 20 years ago.
" Kuina ? "
Immediately, the young woman froze. In truth, the first person she had met when she had amnesia was Widos, and the name he had decided to call her by was Kuina. Tres was only her code name during her missions. She thought that name had been chosen for her, but it seemed that there was a chance that this name was really hers.
"Kuina...?" Tres repeated. "Who is it? Is it me? Who is the person you knew?"
Not knowing what to say, Zoro affirmed.
"Kuina was the former owner of Wado Ishimonji, and just like you, she wanted to become the best swordsman in the world! However, she died."
" She is dead ? "
"Yes! She had a bad fall and I saw her body get buried."
Hearing it, Tres gritted her teeth, before roaring.
" Are you kidding me ? "
Then, she rushed towards Zoro and tried to attack him.
"I thought you could help me figure out who I was and help me get my memory back! But in the end, you're just a stupid man who believes in ghosts."
Pissed off at her comment, Zoro blocked her attack, before counterattacking.
"Tssss! Is it my fault you look like her?"
"What? Are you telling me I look the same as her?" Kuina asked, hitting one of his swords. "
" No, but everything else makes you look like her. " Zoro retorted. "Your character, your way of fighting, your way of thinking..."
"Stop believing in ghosts! I can't be dead and standing in front of you."
Suddenly, a shock wave was created as their sabers clashed, while their faces found themselves in front of each other.
" You're exactly like Menma. " Zoro retorted. "A dead person who has amnesia...I already knew one."
"What?" Tres wondered.
" And just to try to get your memory back, know that I promised my best friend to become the best swordsman in the world. " Zoro assured. "And if she were still alive, I would want to let her know that I still have this dream, even after twenty years."
Immediately, Tres' eyes widened, while a flash occurred in her mind, in which she saw a young boy with green hair.
" What ? "
Suddenly, a huge gust of wind hit the area and kicked up a lot of dust. Hitting Zoro, the dust cloud blinded him and forced him to step back.
" What is happening ? "
Then, the wind disappeared as quickly as it appeared and when Zoro regained his sight, he noticed that Tres was gone.
" What ? "
Looking around, he tried to find the young woman.
" She ran away. "
Finally, falling cross-legged, he put a hand on his forehead, while trying to understand what had just happened. This woman didn't look like Kuina...yet he was sure it was her. Something...maybe the shape of her face or her gaze...but something told him that this woman was Kuina.
"Was it Kuina? Is it a reincarnation? I can't understand it anymore."
in fact, he was even beginning to doubt the moment he saw Kuina's body being buried.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Then, turning around, Zoro saw a huge South Bird, just behind him.
"Huh? What do you want? Now is not the time to bother me."
With a simple lowing, the bird only directed its gaze towards Zoro's bag, which it had placed on the ground, before its fight against Lucario and Sharpedo.
Then, the bird rushed on the bag, before flying away.
"Hey! Give that back!" Zoro roared, running after the bird, before grabbing his bag.
Unfortunately, strong enough to lift it, the bird flew away, taking Zoro with it.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Planting itself in the ground, two centimeters from Lucy's throat, Ladydevimon's spear had missed its target, the instant a punch had struck her face. Surprised, the digimon flew backwards, before performing several backward rolls on the ground.
Remaining then a few seconds on the ground, the demon ends up getting up, to see Capricorn, just in front of her.
" Who are you ? "
"Capricorn." Lucy rejoiced.
"Aries and Taurus warned us of what was going on." The goat-man asserted. "We came to help each other."
"Indeed." Confirmed a voice behind Ladydevimon.
Turning around, the digimon spotted Loke behind her, as the spirit loosened his tie.
"I don't like picking on pretty women! But since you hurt Lucy, I'll make an exception for you."
"Huh?" The digimon wondered, turning back to him.
Nevertheless, she realized that her feet were stuck on the ground, while two hands were out of the ground.
" What ? "
Then, Virgo's face popped out of the ground, as she affirmed.
" I've got you. "
Seeing this, Loke and Capricorn immediately ran towards the demon. However, far from being frightened, Ladydevimon spread her arms and aimed her next attack at Loke.
" DARKNESS WAVE ! "
" REGULUS FLASH ! "
Immediately, a huge source of light shot out from Loke's body and the light disintegrated the digimon's attack while dazzling her.
"What is this light?"
Then, Capricron's foot struck her in the side. Gasping, Ladydevimon's body flew to the side so quickly that Virgo let go of her. Then she fell to the ground.
" REGULUS BEAM ! "
Seeing the beam of light hurtling towards her, the Digimon straightened up in time to glare at it.
" DARKNESS BEAM ! "
An explosion occurred as darkness and light collided. And as the area was covered in smoke, the digimon spread his wings to fly away. But already, Virgo's arms came out of the ground, to try to capture her.
" DARKNESS SPEAR ! "
Unfortunately, Virgo felt the tip of the demon's spear go through her arm, causing her to moan in pain. Seeing her unable to hold her back, Ladydevimon took the opportunity to leave.
Leaving the cloud of smoke, she found herself high in the sky, while trying to target her next target.
"Even with three, you won't be able to..."
Suddenly, tipping her head to the side in extremis, she felt an arrow brush her cheek, while she had been saved only by a reflex. Surprised, she saw Sagitarius, on the branch of a tree, while he had tried to pierce her with his arrows.
"Damn !" he grumbled, trying to aim at her again.
" DARKNESS BEAM ! "
Unable to dodge the attack Sagittarius felt the two beams streak through his forehead, and his body vanished almost immediately.
"And one. "
Suddenly emerging from the smoke, Capricorn leaped towards her before managing to punch her in the abdomen. Feeling the impact, the digimon spat out slime. Then, Capricorn gave her a powerful kick to the chin.
"That's for my companions." The goat-man assured, seeing the body of the digimon begin to fall towards the ground.
Unfortunately, a chain suddenly wrapped around his body, while the demon had stopped his fall. Showing blood pouring out of her mouth, Ladydevimon showed rage in her gaze, while she was still conscious.
Then, before giving Capricorn time to react, she pulled her chain to bring him back to her, before transforming her arm into a spear.
" DARKNESS SPEAR ! "
And the next moment, Capricorn felt her arm pierce his abdomen. Then, as soon as the chain ceased to immobilize him, his body fell towards the ground, before disappearing.
" And two! "
" REGULUS PUNCH ! "
This time it was Loki who tried to aim at her. However, dodging his attack, the digimon ignored him before targeting Virgo. Having her upper body visible above the ground, the young woman immediately hid herself in the tunnel she was in.
Unfortunately, foreseeing this gesture, Ladydevimon uncrossed her arms, before creating a dark cloud.
" DARKNESS WAVE ! "
Rushing into the tunnel, the swarm of bats disappeared into the galleries of Virgo. Then, a crack suddenly appeared in the ground, before an explosion took place. Coming out of the ground, screaming in agony, Virgo found himself in the center of the dark cloud, which had expelled her out of her tunnel.
" VIRGO ! " Shouted Lucy.
However, the next second was when Virgo disappeared too.
"And three." Ladydevimon affirmed.
Unfortunately for her, Loke suddenly hit her in the face and an explosion took place on impact, causing Ladydevimon to crash into the ground. Spitting blood, she then felt Loke crash into her, before flashing his fist.
"Disappear forever."
Still, the demon smiled grimly, before affirming.
"Too late! I've already killed your blonde! DARKNESS SHADOW !"
" Huh ? "
Raising his gaze suddenly, towards Lucy, Loki saw her shadow move behind her, before taking the form of Ladydevimon.
" LUCYYYYYYYY ! "
Not even having time to react, Lucy felt the long claws of the shadow pierce her body. Taken by surprise, Lucy felt a wound forming in her back. Then she collapsed to the ground.
"LUCYYYYYY!" Loke shouted, pretending to run towards her.
However, a chain wrapped around his neck and the digimon managed to immobilize him.
"Don't worry, you'll see her again soon! DARKNESS BEAM !"
Yawning, Shura heard the shock of another attack. However, seeing that nothing happened, he began to smile.
"Failed again."
Giving him a simple carnivorous look, while managing to calm her murderous impulses, Velvet looked at the wall of the stomach of the snake which was in front of her. Pissed off, she found that her attacks hadn't scratched it.
" Damn it ! "
" PISTOL ! "
Hitting the wall, Luffy felt his fist sink into the flesh of the snake, without managing to create the slightest hole.
"It's solid."
Being behind them, Misdreavus and Hattrem remained motionless.
"Hey, help us." Luffy ordered. "If you want to get out of here, help us create a passage."
Immediately, the two pokemons looked at each other. Then, finally, Misdreavus made up her mind and targeted the wall.
Misdreavus use SHADOW BALL.
Hitting the wall the purple sphere exploded, without making the slightest scratch. Nevertheless, not giving up, she conjured huge purple claws.
Misdreavus use SHADOW CLAWS.
Again, her attack was useless. However, the pokemon continued to fight hard to be able to get out of the stomach. Seeing her friend, Hattrem seemed to hesitate.
"Don't you want to help us?" Luffy questioned her.
Again Hattrem looked away from him.
"Why are you acting like this? Now that Enel isn't here to hurt you, we can be friends."
Startled, the pokemon turned her face to Luffy, who affirmed.
"Before I leave here, I want to get a pokemon! If you want, when I beat Enel, you could join my crew."
Hattrem use BRUTAL SWING .
A crash sound was heard as the pokemon hit Luffy's skull. Then, once the pirate was on the ground, the pokemon moved away from him.
Seeing this, Shura laughed.
"You really are stupid Mugiwara! What do you think you can do with your nice words and your false promises? Who could believe that someone like you could defeat Enel?"
Barely glancing at him as he stood up, Luffy retorted.
"At least I keep fighting! I'm not a coward who just sits around waiting for his death to come."
"Hey ! What are you implying?" Shura growled.
"That idiots have no right to insult the decisions of others."
" Grrrr ! "
Getting ready to retaliate, Shura was suddenly surprised when he saw Braviary and Fuza heading towards the wall. Then, Fuza spat out flames, while the pokemon's beak turned white.
Braviary use PEAK.
"You...?" Shura wondered.
Seeing that Shura's two subordinates were ready to help them, Luffy joined them and hit the wall again.
However, it was at this moment that the whole place began to shake.
"What the...?" Luffy wondered.
Then he and the rest of the group fell as he felt the place they were standing in was shifting.
"The snake is moving."
Feeling Lucy and Chopper's auras disappear, Aisa began to scream.
"Aisa?" Nami wondered, seeing her clasp her hands to her head. " What's the matter ? "
"Other voices…they disappeared." The girl affirmed, sobbing. "There are...there are only about 40 votes left."
"For ... Forty ?" Nami repeated.
Suddenly, Aisa rushed to the railing of the boat and jumped into the water.
"Stupid." Nami shouted, seeing her swimming in the river.
Looking around, trying to find someone to help her. Nevertheless, she was the one on the Merry.
"If I leave the Merry, no one will be able to pick up Luffy and the others if they're in danger."
Gritting her teeth, Nami had to make a choice and, finally, she jumped in the water too.
"AISA!" Come back here. "
"Stay where you are."
"Do you seriously think I'm going to let a child get killed?" Nami questioned, managing to grab hold of her.
"I am not a child! I am a warrior."
"A warrior who whines every two minutes?"
"I'm not whining."
Ignoring her, Nami began to swim towards the damaged waver, which was attached to the boat.
"Let me go! Why don't you mind your own business? Are you stupid?"
A slap was heard. Surprised Aisa stared at Nami who looked at her with angry eyes.
"Why would I be a fool? You're the one who doesn't understand anything! You want the brave girl, but I know you're like me."
Feeling her body shaking, Nami affirmed.
"I'm scared! I'm scared! I want to get out of here! My friends...I have no idea how they are! And if Enel attacks us, we're finished."
Seeing her start sobbing in fear, Aisa said nothing.
"What do you think a child can do here except hinder your companions who are fighting for the liberation of this island?" Nami roared. "Stop playing suicidal idiots and just keep quiet! All you can do is use your power to tell me how the battles are going and the paths to take to avoid the enemies."
"But I... But I..."
Suddenly, the ground began to shake and the trees of an entire area were destroyed.
"Huh?" The two girls wondered.
At that moment, the head of a giant serpent appeared, with his jaws wide open. Screaming, he seemed to want to scream in agony.
"AHHHHHHHH! What is it?" Nami shouted.
"NOLA!" Aisa recognized him.
Feeling herself thrown on the Waver, Nami hurried to get on it as well, before starting it off.
"Maybe Pagaya's repairs were of some use."
Suddenly, part of the snake's body twitched and the reptile let out another cry of pain. Seeing him open his jaws to the maximum, Nami squeezed the handlebars as hard as possible, while trying to operate the dials of the machine.
"Start! Start ! STARRRRTTTTTT."
The snake let out another cry and this time he dropped his head and part of his body towards the river, threatening to crush everything in it.
"Start."
Eventually, an engine noise could be heard and the waver hopped over the surface of the water. And finally, he began to charge at full speed, let the snake's body crash into the water.
" Quick ! Quick ! "
However, emerging from the water right next to the Waver, the serpent's head began to scream again, startling the two girls. Due to fear, Nami somewhat lost control of the vehicle and the craft swerved to the left and suddenly entered the forest. Feeling the hull scrape against the ground, Nami felt like the Waver was going to break at any moment.
However, starting to follow the machine, Nola took the same direction as them and pursued them in the middle of the forest.
" Why ?
Suddenly, an explosion took place in front of her as two Navy soldiers faced Lycanroc.
"What's that red wolf?" Roared one of the two men.
Simply growling, the pokemon suddenly froze and his ears perked up. Then, feeling the ground shake under his feet, he turned, as he seemed to sense danger.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, Lycanroc rushed away from the combat area, and before the duo could figure out the reason, Nami walked past.
" What is ... ? "
Then they cried out in terror when they saw Nola rushing towards them.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Seeing the serpent lash out, Lycanroc growled more. However, finding it profitable to use him and finish off any enemies that escape the snake's sight, the pokemon ends up following him.
Seeing a huge hole in front of him, Enel remained motionless for a few moments, and began to analyze all the situations on the island.
"For my army, there remains...Ladydevimon...two prelates...seven pokemons...and eight soldiers on this island! As well as J and three pokemons who left for Skypiea! So, we are 19 people on this island ! Then, there are six shandians left, including Wiper."
Focusing more, to know the position of the other intruders, he felt the presence of Smoker, Reiner and Moda, as well as 9 Navy soldiers. Then, he felt the presence of Raynare and Pit...Nami and Aisa...Gin...Zoro...Suzuki...Bellamy...Gan Fall...And Robin's group.
"24 people! And a small group that has gone off this island."
Smiling, he said.
"There are only 15 minutes left! And normally, at the end of that time, there will only be 12 people left on this island. I have to hurry and then take care of Skypiea."
