Chapter 89

Zoro said resolutely:

"Luo Xing, my lord, you don't need to worry so much. No matter what happens, it's my own choice."

Luo Xing's voice said: "You might die."

"I've already died once." Zoro said with a grin, "Just now, when I was defeated."

For Zoro, who had aspired since childhood to become the strongest, defeat was no different from death.

And since he had chosen to keep living, he never wanted to experience the feeling of defeat again.

Just like the line Zoro shouted in the original work: "I will never lose again."

(Li Le's)

Seeing Zoro's expression of calm resolve, ready to face death, Luo Xing nodded.

He took back the Ghost-level monster cell and brought out the Dragon-level monster cell he had originally prepared for Enel.

Zoro took it and, without hesitation, ate it.

Yamato hurried over from the ship. She also knew how terrifying the Dragon-level monster cell was.

"Honey, why are you giving it to him? With Moss-head's current strength, there's no way he can withstand it!"

Luo Xing said with a touch of emotion:

"This is a man's resolve. I cannot refuse to buy it."

Hawkeye also walked over and agreed with Luo Xing's reasoning.

Looking at Zoro, who was writhing in agony on the ground from eating the Dragon-level monster cell, he suddenly let out a great shout:

"Luo Luo, hold on! I'm waiting for you at the position of the world's strongest!"

"Surpass me, Luo Luo!!"

Zoro struggled and roared on the ground like a wild beast, as if he had even lost his sanity.

But he still kept a sliver of clarity, the very last sliver!

He forced out an indistinct snarl from between his teeth:

"Of… course… I… will!!!"

84. Zoro Becomes a Monster, Hawkeye's Shock! (Subscribe please)

The epidermal cells all over Zoro's body were wildly proliferating and dividing.

Blood poured from his seven orifices, his eyeballs bulged, and his teeth grew sharp like knives.

His limbs became twisted, his ligaments torn, his bones wrenched, even his neck bent into a grotesque arc.

It was hard to imagine what kind of pain Zoro was enduring at this moment.

And yet this terrifying sight was something that had never happened when the Three Calamities ate the Dragon-level monster cell.

This fully demonstrated that Zoro's current strength simply could not withstand the Dragon-level monster cell.

But Zoro was still persisting.

He clenched his teeth, continuously letting out beast-like low growls.

Boom!

His left lower leg exploded into a mist of blood!

"Ah!!"

Even with the formidable willpower Zoro had tempered since childhood, he could not help but let out a scream of agony.

"Honey, make him stop!"

Yamato grabbed Luo Xing's arm and said anxiously.

Luo Xing shook his head: "Once the monster cell is eaten, even I cannot stop it."

Yamato froze, looked at Zoro writhing in agony on the ground, then turned her head away, a look of unbearable pity showing in her beautiful eyes.

Hawkeye was also watching Zoro's changes at every moment.

He had already seen that Zoro probably could not hold out much longer, and could not help sighing:

"This young man truly possesses the heart of a strong one. His future achievements are boundless, but he is too impatient for quick success."

If Zoro had eaten a Ghost-level monster cell, he would indeed have suffered pain, but there would have been no danger to his life.

And although Dragon-level and Ghost-level differed by only one rank, the gap in strength was over tenfold, and the side effects were the same.

The Dragon-level monster cell was simply too powerful for Zoro, who had only just set out to sea.

It was like an ant trying to lift a great boulder — without outside help, it was impossible.

Coincidentally, Luo Xing really did have outside help.

520 Luo Xing walked up to Zoro and said: "Open your mouth."

Zoro still retained his very last shred of clarity and barely opened his mouth.

Luo Xing tossed a small green pill into it.

Hawkeye's eyes flashed and he exclaimed:

"That's the so-called Senzu Bean, said to cure any injury?"

Luo Xing nodded: "That's right."

Although Zoro could not withstand the Dragon-level monster cell, his physique was ultimately powerful and his willpower tenacious, allowing him to hold on for a very long time without dying.

This way, Luo Xing could feed him Senzu Beans, letting Zoro's injuries heal so he could keep enduring.

To put it bluntly, it was giving Zoro extra HP — the equivalent of an extra life.

Sure enough.

Zoro's exploded left lower leg regenerated, his physical condition improved greatly, and his screams were no longer as agonized as before.

But not long after, Zoro was once again on the verge of being unable to hold on.

Luo Xing, seeing this, fed him another Senzu Bean.

Just like that, whenever Zoro was about to collapse, Luo Xing would feed him a Senzu Bean to replenish his blood and sustain his life.

After feeding him a full five Senzu Beans, Zoro's aura finally stabilized completely, and the swollen cells on his skin gradually returned to normal.

Another quarter-hour passed.

Zoro stood up from the ground, his bare torso covered in powerful, bulging muscles.

Thump~

Zoro knelt before Luo Xing and kowtowed:

"Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"

A man like Zoro performing such a profound gesture clearly demonstrated his resolve to serve with his life.

A satisfied smile appeared on Luo Xing's face.

Trading five Senzu Beans, worth ten billion Berries, to secure the genuine loyalty of Zoro, the world's strongest swordsman of the future, was entirely worth it.

Luo Xing raised Zoro with both hands and said gently:

"How do you feel?"

"I feel great!"

Zoro stood up, clenched his fist, and threw a punch; although he didn't actually strike the tree several meters away, that tree was knocked down directly by the fist wind.

Mihawk watched in awe and couldn't help but say enviously:

"Such immense power, merely from eating one Monster Cell. Even if I had cultivated since my weakness, it would have taken me over ten years to possess such strength."

Mihawk then turned his gaze back to Luo Xing and sighed inwardly.

Monster Cells, Senzu Beans; even if this man didn't possess great strength himself, his inventions alone were enough to shake the entire World Government!

"Mihawk, let me challenge you once more!"

Having recovered, Zoro eagerly issued a second challenge to Mihawk.

Luo Xing pulled Yamato back onto the Arlong Pirates' ship.

With the enhancement of the Dragon-level Monster Cell, Zoro's strength was far beyond anything comparable to his past self.

His duel with Mihawk would absolutely not be as simple and unadorned as before.

The clash between the two would be immense; this desolate island might even be destroyed.

Mihawk drew the black blade Yoru from behind his back; he too wanted to know just how strong Zoro was at this very moment.

"Come on, kid!"

Filled with unprecedented surging power within his body, Zoro felt utterly confident.

His two swords had been destroyed by Mihawk earlier, leaving only Wado Ichimonji, so he borrowed the swords of Johnny and Yosaku.

"Zoro... Zoro's big brother, your muscles, your height?"
