Chapter 44

However, there was no time for too much thought.

Zoro on the screen swung his sword with a backhand motion.

Fast, it was simply too fast.

Even Zoro himself frowned.

He looked at the Third Generation Heaven-Reliance in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He didn’t move; the sword moved on its own.

“Interesting, is this the so-called Extinction?”

Yet he didn’t feel fear; instead, he felt the excitement of a hunter seeing prey.

Just as he said himself, he didn’t believe in ghosts or gods.

With absolute confidence in his own strength, he could suppress everything here.

Zoro began to move.

One had to admit, he was indeed the fastest-improving and hardest-working member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

At this moment, he was much stronger than he was in Dongzhou.

As a swordsman, his combat level had a lot to do with his swords.

And now, with three precious swords, he was complete.

The flashing blades on the screen—one had to say, the upgraded AI was still quite good.

And Zoro’s fighting style was indeed very attractive.

The most important thing was that this guy’s moves never repeated.

The audience couldn’t help but suspect that Lin Yi had used all his energy for naming things on Zoro.

“I’m sorry, please spare our lives; he’s still just a child.”

A mother hugged a small child.

The two knelt on the ground, begging Zoro for mercy.

【Oh no, don’t believe her; it’s definitely a trap.】

【It’s over, a classic trope ruined!】

【To be honest, it’s really boring.】

【You won’t get far with a saintly heart; don’t do it.】

Seeing this familiar trope, all the viewers felt a chill in their hearts.

Everyone smelled the scent of a bad movie.

Sure enough, the mother and child instantly changed their expressions.

In the Jianghu, you really can’t trust anyone.

However, what no one expected was.

Zoro simply slashed them down.

What saintly heart? What sympathy?

As a swordsman, he only had eyes for his swords and his enemies.

This behavior completely caused a sensation on the scene.

How many bad dramas had they watched over the years?

Almost every member of the protagonist group was a bit of a saint.

Such decisive behavior like Zoro’s was truly rare.

The scene erupted in cheers, and Zoro gained countless fans once again.

【Good, good, so that’s how you’re writing it? If you aren’t playing me, isn’t that also a way of playing me?】

【No, you really slashed them? Not following the script, then how…】

【Damn, finally a character that fits my taste.】

【For Zoro, I don’t care what kind of crap you are, I’ll slash you first.】

The flashing blades continued.

One had to admit, after leaving Dongzhou, the strength of the enemies had increased geometrically.

But Zoro’s strength had increased by more than just a geometric factor.

Just as Zoro was challenging the hundred-man kill.

The screen suddenly shifted.

The audience began to grumble; they were just getting into it, why cut the screen?

However, in the next moment, they were stunned.

It seemed there was more than one smart person.

“Hehehe, what a bunch of idiots.”

“Did you really think such clumsy tricks could fool me!”

“I’ll gladly accept your gold and silver!”

Nami walked out of the room elegantly.

She began to practice her old trade with ease.

The audience was stunned.

They would never have guessed such a plot would happen.

【I’m truly impressed; I never expected this at all!】

【I originally thought Zoro was already invincible, but I didn’t expect someone to be even fiercer; whose subordinate is this!】

【Wow, Nami is the truly high-IQ one.】

【Good, good, dog-eat-dog, right? Who is eating whom here?】

Watching Nami collect the bandits’ wealth with ease.

A sense of stability arose.

It’s really great to have two people with brains in one team.

This was the first crisis after leaving the novice village, yet it was solved so dramatically.

Looking at Zoro, the ground was already littered with bodies.

And Zoro was still playing with his three swords, unsatisfied.

Hundred-man kill complete.

Nami had already started looting.

【Hmm, now I know why ordinary people hate martial artists.】

【Good, good, now they’re finally on the right path.】

【From the perspective of a passerby, the Straw Hat Pirates are all villains.】

【Damn, it’s hilarious; Lin Yi’s plot is really interesting.】

Most of the audience thought so; after all, such a style was truly rare.

And just at this moment, the mysterious group that appeared at the whale earlier appeared again.

But this time, they were in a state of flight.

Zoro’s bored eyes sharpened.

He discovered a different aura.

A woman holding an umbrella and a strange-looking man walked over slowly.

They also had the seal of the Desert Escort Agency on them.

But they ignored the bandits lying on the ground.

And at this moment, Lin Yi picked up his pen again.

【Wild Desert Bandits】

The backbone of the Desert Escort Agency.

They are direct subordinates of Sha Zhen’e.

Usually, two people act as a small team.

They are referred to by code names.

The smaller the number, the stronger the strength and the higher the status.

“What a bunch of trash!” ===== CHAPTER 68 =====

The strange-looking man looked at the bandits all over the ground.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Zoro.

“Wild Desert Bandit 5!”

This was the identity of the newcomer.

Zoro became a little more serious.

Next should be the backbone of the Desert Escort Agency.

But immediately, he discovered with surprise.

The other party didn’t seem to be looking for him.

The mysterious group that appeared earlier now had expressions of terror.

“You hid really deep, Princess Vivi!”

The gaze returned to the blue-haired woman.

The audience discovered with surprise that these wild desert bandits were actually here to kill their own people.

【Wait a minute, the plot is a bit messy; I can’t quite follow it.】

【The bandit just called her Princess; which country’s princess is she?】

【Duh, this is the Bastan vassal state; she must be the princess of the kingdom.】

【Is this the look of a princess?】

The audience complained, but in the next moment, they shut up.

Because the woman called Vivi let her hair down.

【Holy crap, why did she suddenly become so beautiful?】

【Can a hairstyle change a person’s art style?】

【Princess Vivi, you still have charm!】

The audience chattered; very good, they found another beauty.

And at this moment, Lin Yi also provided the character setting.

【Vivi】

Princess of the Bastan Kingdom.

Strong-willed and responsible.

Watching her country fall into civil strife step by step, Princess Vivi suspected that there was a mastermind behind it all.

She infiltrated the Desert Escort Agency as an undercover agent alone.

But she had now been exposed.

Once this setting came out, it immediately made all the viewers feel a sense of recognition for this beautiful princess.

Character design is fine, looks are fine, rescue allowed.

This looked like it was prepared for the protagonist group.

And just when everyone intended to watch Zoro kill everyone and save the beauty.

“Oh, that means it has nothing to do with me!”

“Please, go ahead.”

Zoro stepped aside without a word, having no intention of interfering.

Even when Princess Vivi personally asked for help, he remained indifferent.

【Holy crap, what a steel-straight man.】

【Well done, Zoro, that’s exactly what they deserve!】

【I can’t take it anymore, I love this man to death; his every word and action is just too charming.】

【According to the routine of conventional martial arts dramas, this is the time for a hero to save the beauty, but doesn’t that feel ridiculous? A reaction like Zoro’s is what should happen, right!】

【Exactly, it’s clearly internal dog-eat-dog, there’s no need for rescue at all.】

【I’ve watched too many bad movies; I’m a bit unaccustomed to this.】

Zoro’s prestige continued to rise.

And at this moment, various big directors and judges in the industry were also lost in thought.

They began to wonder if the old way was outdated?

Why do current audiences love watching plots where they slash beauties!

The screen stopped. This meant Lin Yi’s thinking had paused.

Although the audience was very anxious, they didn’t urge him.

Because Lin Yi was already writing fast enough.

And his brain circuit was different from normal people, so everyone was looking forward to him thinking a bit longer.

After thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zoro’s indifferent expression appeared on the screen again.

However, experienced viewers knew that if nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected was about to happen.

But even if the audience racked their brains, they never expected that voice to appear.

“Self-Indulgent Fist!”

In the stunned expressions of all the viewers.

An angry Luffy actually smashed Zoro down with one punch.

The scene fell into silence.

Damn, I thought of 10,000 possibilities, but I never thought of this.

“Big Idiot Luffy, what are you doing!”

It could be seen that Zoro was truly angry.

But the audience felt he had the right to be angry.

“Zoro, oh Zoro.”

“You’ve gone too far!”

“They treated us to good food and drink.”

“Even if you weren’t satisfied, you didn’t have to slash them all!”

Zoro was bewildered, and everyone at the scene was bewildered.

And the screen shifted again; it was Luffy’s memory.

Luffy got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

Suddenly he found wounded people everywhere.

“It was the swordsman from your team who slashed us all.”

“Hey, are you okay? Are you okay!”

Luffy’s expression suddenly changed.

But in the eyes of all the viewers, it looked very dull.

“Big Idiot Luffy, do you actually believe this!”

Zoro was almost cursing.

He didn’t want to talk anymore, so he drew his sword and slashed.

【I’m sorry, I know this is serious, but I really want to laugh.】

【Damn, I feel sorry for Zoro for a second.】

【It’s hilarious, Big Idiot Luffy is too simple.】

【I just think it’s too much; Zoro is too wronged.】

【Don’t take the funny plot too seriously; that’s just Luffy’s character setting.】

Seeing the two of them fighting as if no one else was around.

As high-level wild desert bandits of the Desert Escort Agency.

How could they endure such disregard?

However, in the next moment.

The legendary wild desert bandits were easily taken down by the two of them.

The audience finally realized.

These two had never used their full strength. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
