You're really a tough one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3 stood clad in full-body wax armor—his Candle Champion Cup—appearing like a walking fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him stood Zoro, all three swords drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wax encasing his blades, Yubashiri and Sandai Kitetsu, had already been cleaved away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Wado Ichimonji gripped between his teeth, Zoro locked eyes with Mr. 3, the corner of his mouth twitching into a confident smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right back at you. Gotta hand it to you, you've got some impressive durability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll definitely turn you into a wax statue, Three-Sword Style swordsman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his threats, Mr. 3 was struggling. This swordsman was beyond troublesome—he had no issue seeing through Mr. 3's wax clones and moved faster than he could keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the regenerative properties of his Candle Champion Cup, Zoro would have sliced him to pieces by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fight dragged on, Mr. 3 realized something: their new boss wasn't worried about them killing his comrades—because he knew they couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This swordsman was beyond them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Mr. 3 didn't realize was that in the original timeline, his schemes and powers had pushed Zoro into a tight corner—trapping him, Nami, and Vivi in a massive candle execution setup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That version of Zoro was nowhere near the warrior before him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Shirogai had boarded the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to his training, Zoro had grown exponentially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he being underestimated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3 clenched his teeth, bitterness welling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did that guy get the boss's attention, while he—a seasoned agent—was used as nothing more than a stepping stone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the humiliating moment Shirogai had defeated him effortlessly—no flashy attacks, just overwhelming presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, Mr. 3 couldn't deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai was no ordinary pirate. The only reason his name hadn't yet shaken the seas was because he'd only just begun his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given time, The Plunderer would be a name known across all four seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had the chance, Mr. 3 would gladly serve him—not as a disposable assassin, but as a real subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad Shirogai didn't see him that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustration boiling over, Mr. 3 shifted tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more head-on fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro slashed forward—one swing shattered the Champion Cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the broken wax fragments surged upward, reforming into a Candle Prison midair, locking Zoro inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3 sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's see you get out of that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've already cut through steel during my sparring with Shirogai. You think wax scares me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flared with fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three-Sword Style: Oni Giri!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's blades tore through the hardened wax, shredding it into pieces. The cage collapsed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3 stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… you broke the Candle Prison like it was nothing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the wax house, Shirogai—watching through [Mind Lurker] embedded in Miss Goldenweek's thoughts—grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. 3's adaptable, I'll give him that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Game over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's eyes narrowed as he charged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three-Sword Style: Oni Giri, Double Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blades flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A painted tree toppled in two clean halves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I missed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up. Mr. 3 was standing to the side—untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wax man laughed, baring his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! You've fallen for Miss Goldenweek's Color Trap. You can't touch me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Miss Goldenweek peeked out from behind a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Color Blending: Laughing Yellow + Bullfighting Red.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's mind was being manipulated by the colors painted around him, turning him into a puppet without him realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned. \"That little girl's power? But she never even got close...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3 chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She didn't have to. I had her paint Laughing Yellow inside my armor beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you cut it open, your sword got stained. Then, when you destroyed the prison, she marked the nearby trees with Bullfighting Red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now your body instinctively targets those trees. You can't hit me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He conjured two wax spears and hurled them at Zoro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro dodged sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of trick is this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slashed again, only for his blades to turn mid-swing and destroy yet another painted tree behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back was exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3 launched another barrage of wax spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro dodged using Soru, barely avoiding the piercing strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sheathed Yubashiri and Wado Ichimonji, relying solely on Sandai Kitetsu for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how he attacked, the swords veered toward the painted targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Zoro didn't lose his cool. He smirked instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the wax house, Shirogai sighed and stood from the rocking chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. 3 lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped outside into the jungle, stretching casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zoro's improving fast. Guess using Mr. 3 and Goldenweek for training wasn't enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Marine Six Styles,faint signs Armament Haki, and Observation Haki he'd drilled into Zoro, the swordsman had far surpassed his original Small Garden self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to step in myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere shifted—the presence of a true threat radiated through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on the battlefield, Zoro smiled, eyes locked on Mr. 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I figured it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3 frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no way you broke the Color Trap already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro glanced at Miss Goldenweek, who continued to repaint targets behind trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My attacks are being redirected to those marked trees, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So all I need to do is cut all of them at once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sheathed Sandai Kitetsu, taking a low stance, aura intensifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I treat every tree around me as the enemy…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. 3's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're going to cut them all?!
