The Giant Wooden Figure

Chapter 611 The Giant Wooden Figure

"Strange, no guards are chasing us anymore."

Zoro glanced behind him, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

Has the enemy given up?

Just then, west Yan suddenly stopped, clearly having noticed something.

"What's wrong?"

"They're here."

As soon as west Yan finished speaking, all the candles in the corridor went out, and then... the earth began to shake.

"boom!!"

As Luffy felt the earth tremble, several question marks immediately popped into his head.

"What happened?"

Why is the earth shaking?

Was there an earthquake?

west Yan did not answer the question, but instead looked at the wall warily.

He felt a slight tremor, perhaps... from the Stone-Stone Fruit user?

Thinking of this, west Yan said, "It should be the user of the Stone-Stone Fruit."

"A user of the Stone-Stone Fruit?"

Luffy asked疑惑地问道, "One of Doflamingo's men?"

Violet's expression turned somewhat grim, as she had finally alerted Pica.

The next moment...

"boom!!"

The wall suddenly trembled, and then a humanoid stone statue gradually emerged from the wall, looking incredibly huge.

"Be careful, everyone!"

Violet shouted, "He is Pica, the highest-ranking member of the Donquixote Family—the user of the Stone-Stone Fruit!"

"Is my opponent such a big guy?"

Zoro scrutinized Pica from head to toe, then turned to Xiyan and asked, "Are you sure this guy is a swordsman?"

Will the swordsman immediately use his Devil Fruit ability to intimidate him?

It doesn't look like it at all.

"That's what their subordinates say anyway," west Yan shrugged. "And he did indeed carry a knife with him."

As for whether the other party was a real swordsman, he didn't know, since he had never fought against him.

"Let's try it out first," Zoro said.

What if the enemy feels they are not qualified to make the other side draw their sword?

So Zoro decided to cut the opponent a few times first to force him out of the statue.

"Hey, big guy!"

Luffy looked up and asked, "Where's Doflamingo?"

Upon hearing this, Pica turned to look at Luffy, a cold killing intent gradually appearing in her eyes.

How dare this guy ask such a question?

Are you looking for death?

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Luffy shouted again, "At least say something!"

"I won't say..."

""

Before Luffy could finish speaking, Pica raised his enormous stone fist and slammed it down on the people below.

Upon seeing this, the group quickly retreated, dodging Pica's attack.

The next moment...

"boom!!"

Pica's fist slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater!

"This power..."

'

Zoro glanced at the ground and frowned, saying, "If we get hit head-on by that thing, we're done for."

Although he can slice through stone statues with his slashes, his body may not be able to withstand that level of impact.

"As long as I don't get hit, it'll be fine," west Yan said.

"That's true."

Zoro smirked and said, "Watch me cut him down!"

After saying that, Zoro rushed over and launched an attack on Pica, who was high up.

"Seven hundred and twenty troublesome winds!"

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying slash flew high into the air and slammed into the huge stone statue, cutting it into pieces!

"boom!!"

"You finished it off already?"

Perona was stunned. Was this the enemy's highest-ranking officer?

That's so bad.

Zoro frowned as he looked at the rubble. If the enemy was really that weak, then there was no point in fighting.

"They probably won't kill him so easily, after all, this guy is a top executive of the Don Quixote family," west Yan said. "But... something's strange."

"Something seems off?"

"Um."

west Yan carefully examined the rubble in front of him and said, "Because I can't sense his location."

"Is the Stone-Stone Fruit special, or is this thing's true form hidden somewhere else?"

As he spoke, west Yan used his Observation Haki to sense the rubble in front of him and the surrounding rocks, but he still couldn't detect Pika's presence.

This is what made him curious: was the Stone-Stone Fruit's ability to assimilate stones particularly overpowered, or was the true form of the creature hidden in another location?

If it's the former, Zoro has no problem fighting the opponent, but if it's the latter... Zoro will have to compete with the opponent to see who has more stamina.

"The Stone-Stone Fruit is indeed a rather unique ability," Violet said. "Not only can he turn his body into stone, but he can also manipulate rocks to attack."

"In other words... this palace made of rock is now completely under his control!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people present all changed.

If that's really the case, then this guy deserves the title of top cadre.

"Then I..."

""

Before Zoro could finish speaking, the ground shook again, and then an enormous rock hand grew out of the ground and slammed down on the group without mercy.

"boom!"

With one strike, it created another large crater in the ground.

The group that successfully dodged the attack frowned as they looked at the arm; it seemed the attacker really hadn't been killed.

"What a troublesome guy," Luffy said, annoyed.

"Defeating the family's top executive is no easy task," Violet said.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be referred to as the highest-ranking official.

"It seems unrealistic to expect to defeat the enemy here."

west Yan carefully surveyed his surroundings, then turned to Zoro and said, "Zoro, why don't we go to Doflamingo's side first? That way we'll have a chance to force out his true form."

Zoro would only have a chance to kill his opponent if he forced them to reveal their true form, so he thought it would be better to go to Doflamingo's side first.

"it is good."

Zoro didn't waste any words and nodded in agreement.

Just like Xiyan said, there's no point in cutting down the opponent's stone statue clones here, so it's better to go to the palace to find Doflamingo first.

Pica clearly overheard their conversation, which immediately enraged him.

Looking for the young master?

These guys are asking for it!

With that in mind, Pica unhesitatingly used the power of his Devil Fruit to manipulate the walls on both sides, causing them to slam into the middle.

Go to hell!

"not good!"

As the wall drew ever closer, the men's expressions changed drastically. If they were caught in it, they'd be turned into meat patties!

The next moment...

"Get up!"

"boom!"

A giant wooden figure suddenly appeared beside them, stretching out its hands to support the rocks on either side.

"?"

Violet stared in surprise at the wooden figure protecting them below. What was this thing?

Devil Fruit powers?

wood?

Wood Fruit?

Pica frowned as he looked at the wooden figure below, clearly not expecting the other to use such an ability to block his attack.

"As expected of you," Perona exclaimed.

That Wood Release technique is truly impressive.

west Yan just smiled and didn't say anything.

He then turned to Violet and said, "I am a wooden person who ate the Wood-Wood Fruit, and I can freely create wood."

This statement was naturally intended to mislead others and prevent them from overthinking.

Violet's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Although the other party needs to make the wood himself, the fact that he can make this level of wood means that he can fight against Pica!

Thinking of this, Violet said, "So you're planning to have you deal with him this time?"

'

"No, that's not it," west Yan said.

"ha?"

Violet paused for a moment. What do you mean by "not"?

If the opponent's abilities are so suitable for dealing with Pica, why not let him come?

"His opponent is me," Zoro said.

"ha???"

Violet was even more puzzled. Was it really appropriate to send a swordsman to deal with a Devil Fruit user?

"I have a more important task ahead of me," west Yan said.

"What?" Violet asked instinctively.

"Madam, our opponents aren't just the Donquixote Family," west Yan said. "Don't forget, the Navy is also here!"

As he spoke, west Yan manipulated the wooden figure to move, and with a slap, he knocked away the rock fist that was coming at him.

"boom!!"

With a single blow, a huge crater was punched into the wall next to it!

However, Violet paid no attention to the commotion, because an even more shocking thought surfaced in her mind.

"Could it be... that this man's mission is to stop Marine Admiral Fujitora?!"

Are you kidding me?

Does he have that kind of ability?

That's a naval admiral!

But looking at the man's confident expression, Violet became unsure.

Does he really have that ability?

Just then, Pica activated his Devil Fruit power again, creating an enormous stone monument, which he slammed down on the group.

Upon seeing this, Zoro rushed forward without hesitation and cleaved the massive stone monument into pieces with just two strikes.

After finishing this task, Zoro landed on the wooden doll's shoulder.

"Hey, you guys go first," Zoro said without turning his head. "I'll take care of this guy."

"Go ahead and beat up Doflamingo and the Marine Admiral."

"profound!"

Since Zoro had said so, Luffy and Xiyan didn't waste any more words and immediately left with the still surprised Violet.

Stop spacing out and let's go.

"good..

"7

Violet, looking on in surprise, turned to look at west Yan. Was this guy really planning to go up against a naval admiral?

Pica glanced at Xiyan's retreating figure and thought to herself: What an arrogant brat!

How could a nobody like you possibly stand up to the Navy Headquarters' top combat power?

Do they really think he's someone important?

Thinking of this, Pica sneered, then activated his Devil Fruit ability, creating a gigantic rock snake that charged towards Luffy and his crew.

Clearly, he had no intention of letting Luffy and his crew pass, as that would disturb the young master.

"Your opponent is me!"

Zoro shouted, "Three-Sword Style - Black Rope Great Tornado!"

"Whoosh~"

"boom!!"

The terrifying flying slash flew towards the rock serpent behind at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and almost in the blink of an eye, it sliced ​​the enormous rock serpent into pieces.

Seeing this, Pica temporarily abandoned his pursuit and turned his attention to Zoro instead.

Since this guy is determined to die, I'll just send him on his way first.

Thinking of this, Pica manipulated the giant to raise its fist and punch Zoro hard.

Unfortunately... before his fist even touched the ground, Zoro's flying slash shredded his body.

"boom!!"

As the rubble fell to the ground, the area fell completely silent.

"It's gone?"

Perona glanced around, her eyes wary, and asked, "Are they going after Luffy and the others?"

If the other party were to chase Luffy and his crew from underground, Zoro really wouldn't be able to stop this guy.

As for why she didn't go with them?

What if Zoro gets lost without her by his side?

Furthermore, neither Xiyan nor Luffy needs her help, so it's better for her to stay by Zoro's side.

"I don't know."

Zoro scanned his surroundings but didn't see anything unusual.

After thinking for a moment, Zoro closed his eyes and decided to use his Observation Haki to carefully sense the surroundings.

After a moment, he murmured, "As expected, I can't sense any aura..."

'

No wonder west Yan said he couldn't detect the enemy's location; his Devil Fruit ability is indeed special.

After realizing that his Observation Haki couldn't detect the opponent's location, Zoro abandoned the idea of ​​using Observation Haki to find the opponent's true form and instead used Observation Haki to sense the location where the opponent attacked.

The next moment...

"boom!"

A gigantic rock giant burst out of the wall and punched Zoro.

Sensing the opponent's movements, Zoro drew his sword and attacked without hesitation.

"One-Sword Style: Iaijutsu - Death - Lion's Song!"

"puff!"

The terrifying slash struck the rock giant, splitting its body in two with a single blow!

"boom!!"

"Another clone, huh?"

Perona glanced at the shattered rocks, then turned her attention to the rest of the area, saying, "It seems we need to find his true form to defeat him."

"Do you have a solution?"

If Perona can find the opponent's location, then he can defeat him.

"I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, Perona focused her gaze on the stone head that had reappeared on the ground, and then quickly rushed over, intending to enter the stone statue to find the enemy's true form.

"Um?"

Upon seeing Perona's actions, Pica instantly recalled information about this Ghost Princess.

The user of the Spirit-Spirit Fruit has the ability to ignore objects that collide with it.

In other words... this guy can find his location by walking through rocks!

Although after assimilating the stone, my body is no different from a rock, but... who knows if the other party's ability might have some special effect?

With this in mind, Pica cautiously moved his main body to the bottom to prevent the opponent's Devil Fruit ability from touching him.

Now, it all comes down to who is the most cautious!
