In One Piece With The Barrier Fruit

Zoro often trains with Shiryu, so the two of them know each other well.

At this time, Zoro was holding Nidai Kitetsu and Shusui, with Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, directly using his strongest three-sword style.

Facing the diamond swordsman Shiryu, he needed to use all his strength.

"Kid, you know you can't beat me."

Shiryu bit his cigar and his eyes flashed with red light. He slowly unsheathed his sword Raiu, and the blood shining on the blade showed how many people he had killed in the past couple of years.

He also has another title, that is, the Great Swordsman of Slaughter.

"How will I know if I don't try?"

Zoro was not frightened by the killing intent of Shiryu. Instead, he looked at his opponent with a ferocious smile.

He has been training for countless hours to defeat Shiryu.

If he can't defeat Mihawk yet, then he needs to take down Shiryu first.

"My diamond defense is second only to Captain Basire."

Shiryu sneered, and half of his body turned into bright hard diamonds, making him look invulnerable.

"Today, even if it is a diamond, I will cut it. My dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman."

"If I can't even defeat you, then how can I hope to defeat Mihawk, how can I cut Basire's barrier?!"

Zoro looked at Shiryu with his eyes shining with ambition. A strong aura erupted from his body, and black lightning appeared around him.

"Have you finally become proficient in using conqueror's haki? Enviable, hateful brat."

"But this bit of conqueror's haki is of no use against me!"

Shiryu disappeared instantly and slashed at Zoro at great speed.

At this moment, in the eyes of these swordsmen, there is not a crew member in front of them. They only see an opponent, an enemy who needs to be chopped down.

"I can also use this power!!"

Zoro gritted his teeth and roared. The three swords turned pitch black, with black lightning swirling around them. He remembered the tragic battle between Katakuri and Yamato after he lost to Mihawk.

Finally, he finally learned a little about the use of conqueror's infusion by seeing their fight.

"Conqueror's infusion? Scary imp!"

Shiryu's eyes finally became serious. He did not expect that in less than a week after the competition for the world's greatest swordsman title, Zoro would master the enviable conqueror's infusion.

What a terrifying belief this is.

It is everyone's consensus that only those with conqueror's haki can reach the top of the world.

A strong man without conqueror's haki will always be upset about why he doesn't have it.

Shiryu and Jack could only watch Katakuri and Yamato, who had mastered conqueror's infusion, surpass them bit by bit and move towards a stronger position, while they could only stand still and look up at them.

"Next year, I must take Mihawk's title as the world's greatest swordsman, and let my name resound in the sky!"

"And you are my stepping stone!"

Zoro attacked Shiryu full of confidence, and their collision released huge waves, and then a continuous stream of sharp sword energy slashes flew around, scaring the audience to run away desperately.

But soon, a huge transparent barrier covered the ring, directly turning the battle into a cage match.

"It's the Emperor's invincible barrier!"

The audience on Laugh Tale exclaimed. Rumor has it that no one in the world can break the barrier of Lord Basire. This is the strongest protection in the world.

Many strong men are eager to try to see if this barrier is really impossible to break.

But soon, the fierce battle between Zoro and Shiryu attracted their attention again.

The outcome of this battle will decide whether the sword wrapped with conqueror's haki is sharper or the diamond's defense is stronger.

Zoro and Shiryu inside the barrier space were fighting mercilessly.

As the battle passed, Zoro's body became more bloody. Everyone thought that Zoro was still too immature to defeat the veteran swordsman Shiryu.

But if Zoro is given a year or two, he will definitely surpass Shiryu and maybe even Mihawk.

This is practically a given for someone who has mastered conqueror's infusion.

"Ha, Haa~… Shiryu, I won't lose!"

Zoro was breathing heavily, even though he was covered in wounds, his eyes were still focused, and his aura was increasing instead of decreasing, which made Shiryu feel a lot of pressure.

"Wait until you can break through my diamond defense!"

Shiryu was biting his cigar with a cold face. He didn't want to lose to this brat now. This was his pride.

"Then let's see if you can block my strongest attack!"

Zoro quickly gathered his power, and the black lightning on his body became more and more violent. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he poured all his strength into this move.

"Hmph, I won't lose either!"

'Thunder and Rain, Kill without mercy!'

Shiryu's sword was sheathed in an instant, and with a frightening drawing sword strike, he attacked Zoro at extremely high speed. At the same time, his body turned into bright diamonds, raising his defense to the highest level.

"They're going all out!"

"Who will win?"

"Bravo!"

···

Amid the cheers of many spectators and the gazes of many strong men, Shiryu and Zoro passed each other at high speed.

As a fierce collision broke out inside the barrier space, the two stood with their backs facing each other.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zoro took out the sword from his mouth and slowly sheathed it, and the other two swords were also sheathed one after another.

Shiryu trembled and sheathed his sword slowly, and then the diamonds on his body began to crack, and a huge cut appeared on his chest.

Zoro really cut the diamond open.

A mouthful of blood spurted out from Shiryu's mouth, and he knelt down on one knee, then all the diamonds on his body shattered and disappeared.

"Roronoa Zoro, he really defeated Shiryu-sama!!"

"Someone really chopped up Shiryu-sama's diamond defense!!"

The people under Shiryu's command all shouted in horror, their eyes filled with incredulity.

"Roronoa Zoro, win!!"

As the barrier was removed and the referee announced, the entire venue cheered enthusiastically again. This battle indeed exceeded many people's expectations.

At the same time, people also saw a rising young swordsman.

"Ahem, I didn't expect that you would steal the limelight."

Shiryu stood up tremblingly, and after vomiting a mouthful of blood, he walked directly off the ring. His figure looked somewhat lonely.

In the end, his diamond defense failed to block Zoro's conqueror's blow, and he was defeated by the newcomer, but he did not completely lose his combat effectiveness.

On a real battlefield, victory or defeat is really uncertain. After all, he doesn't like direct confrontation. He only pursues the fastest way of killing.
