One Piece: The Strongest Asura

Chapter 4: Stunned



Zhuo Luo felt like he was going to die. To him, his opponent didn't seem that strong, but he was still beaten down like this, which showed that his own strength was truly limited! He feared he might die here because this body was truly too weak!

"You, someone without sword energy, can actually release sword energy? You are a very scary person, but I must kill you. If you don't do this, you might have a chance to live!"

The swordsman seemed somewhat regretful because this person could actually produce sword energy! Such a person was talented, but he had made a fatal mistake, and that mistake was enough to get him killed!

"Whoo... If it weren't for this useless body, how could you possibly beat me?"

Zhuo Luo panted heavily. He was already extremely weak, and he feared he didn't even have the strength to stand anymore. He even felt like his hand had dislocated. This body was truly pathetic!

"And another thing, what language are you speaking? Why can't I understand? But the fact that I don't understand is the most troublesome! I think you're insulting me, so I must kill you!"

Faced with a person who had already gone mad, naturally, the only option was to kill him! If he didn't kill him, that would be a problem! He naturally wouldn't give him a chance, so he moved to strike!

"Tch!"

Zhuo Luo wasn't afraid at all. On the contrary, he was very calm, as if this was just another move. However, his eyes were incredibly terrifying, not the kind of gaze an ordinary person could have. It was the gaze of a beast. This was the second time he had seen such a gaze!

In an instant, he felt an intense fear. He wanted to kill this person because it was instinct. If he didn't kill him, he had a feeling he would definitely die! That feeling made him feel he must act. If he didn't, his life would be in danger!

Zhuo Luo closed his eyes because he had already placed his life and death aside. There were still some things he didn't understand, but at this moment, since he couldn't fight like a swordsman, he could only die proudly! Although it would be a disappointment to someone!

But his resolve was set, so he wouldn't care. If anyone was to blame, it would be his own strength being insufficient. Strength that was not enough was useless, and dignity was the most important thing for a swordsman. Since he couldn't live, it would be better to die with dignity, right?

However, just as the opponent was about to strike, a gust of wind swept through and immediately forced the person back. Zhuo Luo opened his eyes and saw a slightly stronger person. This person didn't seem that strong, though.

Although this person saved him, Zhuo Luo could feel that this person wasn't even one percent as powerful as his former self, yet he could easily defeat him!

"Young master, are you alright?"

The person turned around. It was a middle-aged man dressed in hemp clothes, with long hair and a messy beard. He had used a sword to push the opponent back. Clearly, this person also practiced swordsmanship!

"You idiot, do you know what you're doing? He's from the Zhuo family! Don't you know? Get lost, or I'll kill you! How dare a mere first-level swordsman act so arrogantly!"

The person who arrived still showed some skills, displaying dominance, but this dominance was just brutishness and not real strength. It was merely a habit.

"Damn! Today, you're lucky. Otherwise, I'd have killed him! Coming to attack me for no reason, this kid must be crazy! Your Zhuo family only bullies the weak!"

The person clearly wasn't happy. After all, he didn't know the situation, but this guy wanted to kill him. How could he possibly let someone who wanted to kill him go?

Any normal person wouldn't act like this, but what could he do? The opponent's strength was clearly superior to his. What could he do?

"If you don't leave now, I'll leave your life here!"

The middle-aged man was quite displeased. This guy was really asking for it! But now wasn't the time to kill someone. If he had, he would have already done it! In this world, when you want to kill someone, you have to be strategic. You can't just kill anyone! Especially in such a sensitive time.

If he killed someone, it could bring significant consequences to their family, so he couldn't do that. He had no choice but to let him leave. After all, his task was to protect the Zhuo family's young master!

"Young master, are you alright? Why challenge a first-level swordsman? You obviously don't have any sword energy, so why fight him?"

The middle-aged man came back to his senses and looked at his young master. If something happened to him, the Zhuo family would be doomed! They had just found someone with sword soul, but they had been taken away by those people. Now, this young man was the Zhuo family's future hope! As long as he could become a level-10 swordsman, the family could continue!

Although this was a bit unrealistic, for now, they could only let him train. Only he could qualify as the successor! This successor was incredibly important! They absolutely couldn't let him have any mishaps!

"Thank you, do you know where this is? Do you know where the Sabaody Archipelago in the Grand Line is?"

Zhuo Luo thanked him, then immediately asked the question he most wanted to know. Where exactly was he? He didn't have time to waste here. If possible, he wanted to return immediately and see what was going on. Were his companions still fighting in the Sabaody Archipelago? Or had the entire situation already been destroyed?

Of course, he most didn't want to hear the news of total defeat, but even now, being this weak, he still felt it necessary to meet with his companions. They were the most important people to him!

"Young master? What are you saying? I can't understand you. Have you forgotten how to speak after a month?"

The middle-aged man was surprised. This really was their young master, but why couldn't he understand a single word he was saying? Could it be that he was scared out of his wits? Or that after being isolated for a month, he had lost his ability to speak?

If that's the case, it wasn't a good thing! He was the hope of their family!

"Damn it, what are you saying?"

Zhuo Luo frowned. What exactly was this guy saying?
