Chapter 170

Who could possibly react when someone they don't know suddenly comes at them, demanding revenge out of the blue?

But quickly,

he roared in anger: "You idiot! Take off that mask! How else would I know who you are?"

"Go to hell!"

Dubaru raised his fish spear and fired a barrage of fish arrows at Zoro.

But Zoro simply kicked out a "Rankyaku," sending all the fish arrows flying.

"Bastard! Don't just shoot things at Merry at random!" Zoro shouted angrily.

Although Merry has no gender, she usually walks around dressed in Lolita-style clothing, so how could Zoro, as her knight, not protect her?

However...

"Merry? Your woman? Then I must kill her too!" Dubaru snarled: "I will make you taste my pain, and then die in utter regret!"

Tsk!

Hearing this threat, the Straw Hat Pirates' first reaction was not to defend Merry—looking at this little punk, he probably couldn't even win if he ran away fast.

What exactly did Zoro do to him to make him harbor such a cruel desire for revenge?

Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, Zoro was about to go mad!

"You idiot! I don't even know you!"

"Swish—"

Zoro leaped out, his toes tapping repeatedly in the air as if running on it, arriving before Dubaru could react, and with a flying kick, sent his iron mask flying.

And then...

a face was revealed that would shock him for a lifetime!

Zoro: (▼へ▼メ)

Sima Di: (*≧▽≦) ツ

Everyone else: _910●)_●)

Everyone else:? っ Q?;) っ

Even Crocus, who had known this all along, was shocked upon seeing Dubaru's face, which was almost identical to Zoro's abstract wanted poster!

Could there really be someone in the world who looks this abstract?

How to put it...

It looks as if they were just messing around?

Everyone seemed to understand now why Dubaru hated Zoro so much...

Franky was even so scared that he started crying!

"Waaah—scared to tears!"

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Abstract Zoro-style Dubaru!", obtaining the sign-in reward "Dubaru's Conqueror's Haki"!】

—————

"Dubaru's Spiritual Power": Having his peaceful life shattered by a strange wanted poster caused Dubaru to suffer immense stimulation, his spiritual power surged, and with his resolve to set sail for revenge strengthened, his Conqueror's Haki is on the verge of awakening!;

—————

Sima Di's spiritual power and Conqueror's Haki both increased slightly, along with his shock!

Dubaru actually has the potential to awaken Conqueror's Haki?

And he is on the verge of awakening?

Ah, this...

"Damn it, I've finally waited for this day!" Dubaru roared in anger: "I set sail with the determination to kill you, but you are damn hard to find, because the wanted poster and the real person look nothing alike, you bastard!"

"Today I will definitely kill you, the main culprit who destroyed my entire life!"

"Give my life back to me, Black Leg Zoro!!!"

Listen to this tragic and tearful accusation!

It even made Sima Di, who had been questioning his qualifications, laugh.

"Hahaha—Zoro, I never thought there would be someone in this world who looks so much like you," Sima Di laughed loudly.

Like a fuse,

Sima Di's laughter quickly spread throughout the ship; except for Franky, who was scared to tears, everyone else couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha—"

"You scared me! This world really is huge!"

"They look like they were carved from the same mold!"

In this sea of laughter, only the person involved, Zoro, wore a dark expression.

His anger overflowed from within, setting his entire body ablaze, and with one kick, he sent the still-accusing Dubaru flying!

"What does it have to do with me! Bastard!" Zoro shouted angrily.

"What do you mean 'what does it have to do with you'?" Dubaru got up and scolded: "Besides settling the score with you, who else could I find?"

"Shut up! I hate that wanted poster too! I'm clearly so handsome! If I find out who drew it, I'll chop him into mince and make buns for Luffy to eat!"

"I'll get rid of the guy who drew the poster too! After I finish you off!"

The two exchanged verbal blows across the distance, arguing heatedly.

Until...

Zoro posed a soul-searching question: "In that case, couldn't you just change your appearance by growing your hair, shaping your eyebrows, or changing your clothes?"

Dubaru: "......"

Obviously,

This guy hadn't thought that far at all.

"So you're saying you're a complete and utter idiot! Isn't that the first reaction any normal person should have?" Sanji grew even angrier.

This whole thing was such a coincidence it nearly blew his top off!

"Bastard! Go die!"

Sanji, furious to the extreme, stopped trash-talking. With a soaring flying kick, he sent Dibaeru flying into the sky, his body splitting into afterimages like clones—countless versions of him kicking in from every direction.

"Nose!"

"Eyes!"

"Cheek!"

And Dibaeru, who had set out to sea shouting that he would kill Sanji, had not the slightest power to resist.

One can only say......

He was, to put it mildly, lacking in self-awareness.

But the Straw Hat crew had long since seen through this, so they had been comfortably watching the show, with not a single one intending to lend a hand.

After all, it was Sanji's own "grudge match."

Only, no one expected......

Even at the height of his rage, Sanji ultimately did not choose to kick Dibaeru's head clean off.

As he fell,

one could see his specially attended-to face—not only was it not the least bit swollen, it had instead undergone a dramatic change, now sporting a chiseled, axe-hewn "surgical face."

It has appeared!

It is......

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the famous scene "Sanji's Cosmetic Kick!" and receiving the sign-in reward "Sanji's Enhanced Modified Human Physique"!】

—————

"Sanji's Enhanced Modified Human Physique": As the third son of the Vinsmoke family, the pinnacle achievement of Germa 66's technology, Sanji was subjected to "genetic modification" by his father before he was even born, implanted with the bloodline factor of the "Lunarian" race!;

—————

Sima Di's Armament Haki and physique both improved by a full thirty percent.

Didn't expect Sanji to actually be this strong now?

As for the "Lunarian" bloodline factor......

With his 100% brain development running at peak human intellect, Sima Di closed his eyes and sensed a certain power hidden within his bloodline. Bolstered by the immense spiritual force granted by the Sheep Talisman, he quickly unearthed and awakened this power.
