Chapter 31 Breaking the Illusion
In the open space in front of the courtyard, the first battle between the Straw Hats and Oz ended with Oz's victory. The entire open space was filled with large and small gravels. The huge atrium was also affected by the fighting between the two sides and became even more horrific. The stone bridge connecting the two courtyards was smashed into a pile of rubble. The zombies originally stationed nearby were frightened by the power of the battle and hid in the distance. .
"Straw Hat boy, get out of here"
Oz, who had won the first battle, was looking for traces of Luffy. The group was not attacked by Oz because they were not on the wanted list. The thick wall in front of Oz was like paper. At this time, Oz was building a nearby building to search for roads. Fly's whereabouts.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Oz must not be allowed to interfere with Luffy."
The people who were knocked down by Oz were all scarred. When they heard Oz searching for Luffy, they immediately stood up again.
"That's right, one is enough for Luffy to deal with Moriah, leave Oz to us."
The chef lit another cigarette. He also strongly agreed with Zoro's statement. If everything was going to fall on Luffy, what use would his companions be?
"Oz is so big, how can we defeat him?"
Such a huge zombie has an absolute advantage in strength and is so fast. It is not easy to defeat it. Maybe the Luffy personality it possesses can be used to make use of it. It must be held back no matter what, and it must not be allowed to affect Luffy's battle. Usopp immediately formulated a combat plan based on Luffy's character. After explaining it to everyone, everyone began to act separately.
"Hey, Oz, is this all you have? If your body is really Luffy's shadow, don't underestimate the strength of your partners. We won't be defeated so easily."
The actions of the group of little ones behind him were not taken seriously by Oz at all. Their strength was too weak, and it wasn't until Sanji made a sarcastic comment that it turned its attention to the group of ants again.
"You are not dead yet, your life is really tough."
Oz, who was lying on the eaves and looking around, turned his head and glanced at the group of little ones behind him. They were actually still alive. After being provoked, Oz used his legs to push on the wall of the atrium, jumped high into the air, turned around and landed on everyone. The open space in front of you. In an instant, the entire island shook as Oz landed. The birds in the distant woods were frightened again and fled to more remote corners. The victims who had asked everyone to take back their shadows were also hiding in the nearby woods and watching the battle in front of the atrium from a distance. The zombies patrolling at night in the open space in the distance also Stop the activity and stand in the distance watching the battle between the two sides.
"This momentum is really incredible."
The airflow caused by Oz's landing turned into a strong wind and spread out in all directions, making several people's clothes rustle. Such power was indeed frightening.
"You little pirates are really tough."
Oz's voice shook everyone's eardrums like thunder. Just facing such a terrifying enemy requires courage far beyond ordinary people.
"I have a suggestion. Why don't we just cut this guy down at once and let him see how powerful we are."
Zoro made a crazy suggestion, and looked at Oz with sharp eyes with infinite murderous intent. He really made a mistake during the battle. He didn't expect that even though Oz was huge, he still had the speed of Luffy.
"That would be really cool."
The cook, who likes to compete with Zoro in every aspect, is not to be outdone. He also obviously has the urge to have a big fight. The humiliation of being instantly killed by the enemy just now needs a hearty counterattack to vent.
"You two, don't be delusional. How can such a huge body fly away? Let's wait until Brooke brings the salt back. After that, if we create an opportunity and force-feed the salt to it, everything will be over."
Usopp felt that these two guys were obviously crazy, and using salt to purify Oz was the best combat plan. Although everyone was defeated by Oz individually due to scattered operations, Oz's advantages in strength and speed were still obvious.
"But we have to wait until Brooke finds the salt. We don't have much salt to use now." Robin also agreed with Usopp's plan, but revealed the fact that there was no salt available.
"We can't just wait while Brook comes back with the salt. I don't think Oz can sit down and have tea and chat with us. At least before that, we have to win back the victory and prove to Luffy's zombies. Our strength."
Zoro and Luffy have never been able to tell a winner in their competitions, but this time they were killed by a zombie made from Luffy's shadow, which greatly damaged his self-esteem.
"That's right."
Zoro's words touched the hearts of everyone present. If he can't compete with Oz in terms of strength, why should everyone let Oz stay here to buy Luffy time? If he retreats when encountering a strong enemy, what qualifications do he have to become the future Pirate King? In all the battles so far, no matter how powerful the enemy was, Luffy never backed down even half a step. As a partner he recognized, how could he hold back in this regard?
The Grand Line is a place where the fittest survive. There will only be more and more terrifying enemies in the sea ahead. If they cannot face Oz's challenge here today, they will not have the courage to face more brutal battles in the future. Ever since they followed Luffy out to sea, they had sworn in their hearts that they would fight with him in the future. Oz not only wants to fight, but also wants to win without Luffy. For no other reason than to prove that Luffy made the right choice to find them as partners, and they also want to prove to Luffy that they are worthy of their strength. The name of the future Pirate King's companion.
Faith can bring courage to people, and firm faith can bring endless fighting power. When everyone clarifies the goal of fighting, this unprecedented power of faith fills everyone's body.
"Don't you have a combination skill? Use it quickly and let me see it."
Oates was obviously confident and regarded the enemies in front of him as weaklings. He actually squatted on the ground and looked at these small enemies. This was obviously treating them as ants.
"In that case, let me show you. Usopp and Chopper come and join us."
Chopper transformed into a raccoon cat and lay on Franky's head. Usopp crossed his legs and wrapped around his left arm. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Oz squatting on the ground to lower his height by half, Franky led the two of them to jump to Oz. on the forehead. Perhaps it was because Oz didn't pay attention to the three of them at all that he allowed the three of them to run up to it so unscrupulously. Usopp, who was standing on Oz's forehead, immediately launched a verbal attack on Oz. Extremely sarcastic, no one could beat him when it came to bragging and sarcastic remarks about his enemies.
"It turns out that you are really useless except for being bigger."
"It took so long but none of us were hurt. It's really disappointing. It's been so long in vain."
Franky said nothing and spat directly on Oz's head.
"What did you say"
Oz was indeed angered by Usopp's venomous tongue. The three little ones in front of him were too arrogant and they had to be taught a lesson. Oz, who was so angry that he lost his mind, raised his left fist and aimed at He wanted to slap the three little ones on the forehead to death.
"We flash mob."
Oz's fist flew towards him, and the three of them saw the right moment and escaped from Oz's forehead. Before he could close his fist, Oz directly punched himself in the face. The power of this punch was unreserved, but all the force hit his forehead. The huge force caused Oz's body to tilt slightly backwards. Oz, who felt his center of gravity was a little unstable, immediately used his right hand to support his back. of ground.
"You bastards are so cunning." After suffering the consequences of Franky's trio, Oz was completely angry. The three little guys in front of him dared to treat him like an idiot.
"Hey"
The group sighed helplessly. Such a little cleverness could only be used once. It was okay to delay the time, but it was probably impossible to truly defeat the enemy. The three of them obviously placed their hopes on the salt brought back by Brooke, but Molly Since Ya already knew that zombies are afraid of salt, wouldn't he take measures to prevent this?
"You three get out of the way and let me chop it down."
Zoro also had the same idea. As one of the three powerful forces on the ship, his confidence in his own strength also made him a little repelled by these tricks. This was also the reason why he ignored Franky's request for everyone to merge.
"I understand your desire to help in the battle, but this won't work." Sanji also made similar remarks.
"We just need to hold Oz down. When Luffy defeats Moria, we can get back the lost shadow. Then everything will be over." Usopp explained his battle plan to Zoro. The hope of victory in the battle rests on Luffy being able to defeat Moria.
"The premise is that Luffy must be able to defeat Moria, and not only must he defeat him, but he must also allow Moria to voluntarily release his control of the shadows. Do you think this is possible?" This line directly pointed out the shortcomings in Usopp's plan. In this case, the opponent is the Qibukai, and it is almost impossible to achieve such a difficult result.
"You don't believe that Luffy can defeat Moriah"
Seeing that the group doubted Luffy's strength, Usopp said confidently, "Don't worry, Luffy is very strong, he will definitely defeat Moria."
"Hey" Yi Xing sighed again.
"I'm not doubting Luffy's strength. I saw that Luffy is very strong when I first met you." In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Yi Xing explained to Usopp concisely. He didn't want to cause misunderstandings.
"Although we have known each other for a short time, I know you, especially Luffy, no less than you do. Luffy's emotional intelligence is insufficient. He trusts someone too easily and is easily fooled by his opponents. Don't forget Yes, it is our side that lost the shadow. Delaying time should be the tactic used by the enemy. If it is a head-on confrontation, I have no doubt that Luffy can defeat Moriah, but will the opponent fight him head-on? Don't forget what Brooke said, Once a person who has lost his shadow is exposed to the sun, he will turn into ashes. It is night now, so there is no need to worry, but no one can guarantee that the sun will rise tomorrow. The opponent is a big pirate who has been wandering the sea for decades. How is that possible? There is no combat plan based on Luffy's characteristics." Awesome novel "songshu566" Weixin public account, see more
