Chapter 19 You Think I Can't Hear You, Right?

“Have you guys decided?” Zoro seemed a bit impatient. “There are four of us on each side, there’s no need to complicate things… If Himura-senpai doesn’t want to fight, I can take on two myself.”

“Then count me in too.” Sougo said weakly, “Zoro-san, you’re a three-sword style user, taking on three shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”

“What are you getting involved for, you brat!” Zoro shouted, “Hey! Why did you suddenly put on your eye mask! Even if you look down on your opponents, you don’t have to lie down and go to sleep!”

“Ah~ I don’t know why, but just hearing your voice makes me feel annoyed…” Sougo actually lay down on his side, using one hand as a pillow and started dozing off.

“Hmm… two of them don’t want to fight…” Feng Bujue muttered upon seeing this, but his gaze was always on Gourry. “Too bad there’s still one troublesome guy…”

“Hey! Am I dead or what!” Zoro roared.

Feng Bujue continued to ignore Zoro, turning to Xiao Tan and the two Transformers and said, “Don’t worry about that seaweed head, as long as we take care of Gourry, we can just find a place with walls, make a couple of turns, and get rid of him.”

Jazz pondered upon hearing this, “Hmm… that ‘I’ll definitely get lost so I can’t go on solo missions’ figure… so that’s him… I thought it was just some urban legend, I didn’t expect it to actually exist.”

“You guys think I can’t hear you, right? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you all!” Veins popped on Zoro’s forehead.

Nightbeat chimed in from the side, “It’s hard for us with GPS systems to understand this feeling…”

“You’re just a plastic thing, what GPS do you have!” Zoro couldn’t bear it any longer, and drew his sword, “Two-Sword Style. Eagle Wave!”

His sword-drawing speed was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. As the two swords were drawn, he spun on the spot, sending out two white mist-like shockwaves towards where Classic's group was standing.

But Jazz stepped forward, using his body to shield his companions, and with a single wave of his arm, he scattered the wave-like attack, “This kind of power is only enough to overturn small fry, it’s like tickling us Cybertronians.”

“Light——” Gourry’s voice suddenly sounded.

“Get down!” Feng Bujue suddenly roared almost in the same second.

Xiao Tan was obedient and immediately lay down. Jazz and Nightbeat completed their transformations at high speed, using the acceleration of their vehicle forms to scatter to both sides.

The next second, Gourry held the Sword of Light horizontally at his side, and intense light burst forth from the hilt, blasting a spreading beam of light, which was like a Cero, and its power was even greater.

Fortunately, Feng Bujue reminded them in time, and everyone barely avoided it.

Kenshin, who was standing on the opposite side of Gourry, also quickly moved several steps to the side, barely avoiding being affected. Even he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Phew… that was close…”

“You three go deal with Gourry, I’ll handle Zoro, we have the advantage in numbers now, close combat is actually more advantageous for us.” Feng Bujue said as he got up from the ground, charging towards Zoro.

“When did this kid start giving orders?” Nightbeat said, but he still did as he was told.

Jazz shrugged and followed Nightbeat and Xiao Tan towards Gourry, “Since his plan sounds good, let’s just do it.”

As for Zoro…

Even though Feng Bujue said the line “I’ll handle Zoro,” when he actually stood in front of him, that confidence… had been mostly lost.

The oppressive feeling emanating from this one-eyed swordsman could swallow mountains and spit out seas. Zoro's third sword (Wado Ichimonji) had not yet been unsheathed. Just his two blades in his hands (Sandai Kitetsu, Black Sword Shusui), and a simple stance, made Jue-ge feel helpless.

No matter how many types of attacks Feng Bujue calculated with Soul Intent Calculation, the predicted result was that he would be cut to death…

“What’s wrong?” Zoro said, “Did you run in front of me just to stand there like an idiot?” His right hand moved slightly. “Our superior said you’re a skilled player who needs to be watched out for, could it be that they misjudged…”

Whoosh whoosh—

Before he could finish speaking, two light cards suddenly flew past Zoro’s cheeks.

“To be able to dodge even that…” Feng Bujue muttered in frustration.

How could Jue-ge be standing there like an idiot? Finding no openings in Zoro's defense, he had quietly brought out the Death Poker in his sleeve and launched an attack without any warning.

The two cards flew towards both sides of Zoro’s neck respectively, with a short flight distance, extremely fast speed, and no warning before the attack. Unexpectedly, the opponent dodged them with a slight lean back.

“A mere figure… actually retains a setting like ‘Observation Haki’ (the power to strongly feel the aura around them, able to sense enemies outside of their field of vision or even predict the opponent’s actions)…?” Feng Bujue said.

Zoro laughed, “You know quite a bit…”

“I can do quite a bit too!” Feng Bujue retorted, while also unleashing a side kick.

A curved slash swept out, its height basically level with Zoro’s abdomen, and the width was sufficient. Because the attack was launched from a close distance, even if he predicted it, he probably wouldn’t be able to avoid it.

“Incredibly boring.” Zoro squatted down slightly, slashing horizontally, the sword qi exactly coinciding with the slash wave of Jue-ge’s 【Rankyaku】, the two collided and vanished into nothing, “I’ve fought with Rokushiki users so many times that I can’t even count them, your weakling’s Rankyaku can’t hurt me at all.”

“This is too outrageous…” Feng Bujue was sweating, thinking, “There’s no way to deal with this kind of character with Fighting Specialization… his predictive ability, strength, speed, endurance, combat experience, and combat instinct are all top-notch. And we don’t have any Shooting Specialization players or long-range heavy firepower weapons… if we want to win, we can only rely on the assistance of equipment, Spiritual Arts, or Summoning Skills…?”

Feng Bujue’s thoughts were fast, and countless ideas flashed through his mind in an instant.

But Zoro’s attack didn’t wait for anyone. Now that his two swords were drawn, blood had to be seen.

“Two-Sword Style. Demon Bear!”

A swift shadow arrived, and killing intent appeared. Zoro instantly appeared where Feng Bujue was standing, holding the sword handles in reverse, two vertical slashes piercing out.

But Feng Bujue had already arrived in the air.

Zoro naturally knew where the opponent had flashed to, he immediately straightened up and looked up, gazing at the figure in the air faintly emitting reddish-red battle qi, and sneered, “This speed-increasing move is quite similar to someone’s Second Gear.”

Feng Bujue turned his body upside down in mid-air, stomping several times with 【Moon Walk】, charging downwards in reverse. His momentum was like a falcon pouncing on a rabbit, 【Nanto Flying Dragon Fist】 was ready to be unleashed.

“Looks like he’s about to use something…” Zoro’s expression sharpened, “But… I have a lot of confidence in my ‘Armament Haki’ (can enhance defensive power, acting like an invisible armor; can also be evolved into offensive power, thereby competing with Devil Fruit ability users, and can even touch the entities of Logia-type Devil Fruit ability users)…”
