Journey to One Piece

82. Zoro vs. Baroque Works

"We have hit the jackpot with Mr. 8. We won't have to pay any more for the food and items for a long time." All of the bounty hunters in the Whiskey Peak were ecstatic taking down such a crew which had such a high bounty. This bounty could rival great pirates and Mr. 8 who actually knew that the head of Baroque Works, Mr. 0 a.k.a. Crocodile, the Shichibukai didn't even have that much bounty and here he was looking at the two pirates who had more bounty than him. 

He had personally seen Crocodile and he knew how menacing and cruel he was and then there were these pirates who were carefree. This didn't make sense. But it didn't matter. Princess Vivi was back with these pirates and thus she might have more say in the organization and maybe launch a coup against the Crocodile with the help of the Navy later. 

"So do we kill them or capture them alive?" 

"Killing them will make us lose the bounty by 30%. Send them to the Navy alive. By God, they can eat." 

While Miss Monday, Igaram and others were busy discussing things about their future and how to dispose of the recent pirates. Nami, Kenny and Zoro had already woken up. Zoro went out to deal with the Baroque Works, Nami went for stealing while Ken just went out for a walk. 

Of course the Baroque works members had already Ken waking up and getting out. They pointed their pistols and swords at him. 

"You can't go out." 

"Ah.. You see, I need to pee. I drank too much." 

"Doesn't matter. You are pirates and we will hand you over to the navy and they will pay us for handing over scums like you." 

"Sigh!" 

Ken's eyes, which were black in color, started changing in color and soon three dots appeared in his eyes. The bounty hunters who had looked into his eyes instantly fell in Genjutsu (illusion) and in the very next moment they fell down on the ground with a loud thud. And this wasn't the case of only one person. Each and everyone who had laid their eyes on Ken fell down. (yes, I know that Genjutsu can only work when there is chakra involved or at least that is what I read once but we will look over the fact for this series)

Zoro, who had just come behind Ken, was a little envious seeing Ken taking care of others without even lifting a finger. 

"Must feel good to have a Sharingan." 

"It sure does. I leave the rest to you, Zoro." 

"I haven't moved a muscle for sometime now. Will be glad." Zoro said as he moved out. He already knew what kind of island this was and was a trap for pirates. 

And thus the famous fight where Zoro vs the Baroque Works happened. And this fight was over long before it could even start properly.

"Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro." 

"Oh you seem to know me, Baroque Works." 

"You.. You know about us?" 

"Of course I know. There was a time when I was in your profession and someone from this organisation had approached me to join them. I agreed on the condition that I would be the leader. Of course, they refused and later I had to teach them a lesson." 

"Do you think you alone can handle so many of us? Everyone, kill him."

The Baroque Works pointed their swords and guns at them but only to realize that he had vanished. 

"Fourth Fang : Slice n Dice" 

Zoro delivered multiple diagonal slices with both his swords in all the directions possible. The bounty hunters didn't even realize what hit them when blood gushed out of their bodies and made the ground red. With one move he had taken many down. The bounty hunters were terrified and those with guns had started shooting at him. 

"Tenth fang : Whirling Fangs." 

Zoro had started spinning the swords in fast motion and this allowed him to parry the bullets easily. Ken was watching all of this from afar and smiled. Zoro didn't realize it yet but he had already taken his first step in Observation Haki. This was a new level for his friend and it would definitely take him much further away and it would be faster.

"How is he doing this?" 

"Is this the power of someone who has a bounty above 50 million?" 

The bounty hunters were devastated as Zoro was moving around fast while bringing down the bounty hunters. It seemed like it was a walk in the park for him. While this was happening Zoro noticed another update in his system 

[

Subject Roronoa Zoro has completed the character of Inosuke Hashibara. 

]

"He has been pretty fast with this character. Can he enter the simulation?" 

[

No, only completing the three character will allow him to enter the next simulation.

]

"Got it."

Zoro, while fighting too, felt that he had completed the progress of Inosuke, but he wasn't just happy with it. Kokushibo had made his own moves over so many years when he was a demon. He wasn't as ambitious as Kokushibo but he definitely wanted to make his own moves just like he did before. 

He had already made up his mind that he would make his own moves with the three breathing systems and make himself stronger. Zoro was actively trying to make a new move for himself while he fought the bounty hunters. 

While this was happening, Nami was on a different route and met with Igaram. He was trying to survive the assault of Zoro, but it was there he met Miss Valentine and Mr. 5. The ones with Devil Fruits that belonged to the Baroque Works. 

Mr 5. - Bomu Bomu no Mi

Miss Valentine - Kiro Kiro no Mi

The two people who had probably one of the best fruits but ended up being extremely dumb. Especially Mr. 5 who used his buggers as bombs. Out of all the things he used such disgusting things as bombs. This was unacceptable.
