Great Voyage: Luffy’s voyage is revealed at the beginning Chapter 020

Chapter 20: Zoro’s Challenge

Ling Long looked down at the figure beneath her, lifting her right foot and placing it on the black figure’s chest. With a gentle smile, she asked:

“Captain Kuro, hello, I’m a reporter from the World Economic News Agency. I’ve come to Syrup Village specifically to interview you. I hope you can spare some valuable time to accept my interview.”

Kaya stared blankly at the tall figure blocking her, and for some reason, a strange sense of security suddenly welled up in her heart.

Reporter? Captain Kuro?

His identity has been exposed?

“Pfft~”

Kuro’s face turned pale, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. Enduring the intense pain from all over his body, he glared fiercely at Ling Long.

“Hiss~, Captain Kuro, why are you so severely injured? Who was so heartless to inflict such a vicious blow?”

Ling Long noticed that Kuro had injuries all over his body, and most of his bones were broken. It seemed that Luffy had indeed been quite ruthless.

However, the physique of people in this world is quite abnormal, and Kuro is not without hope of recovery. Perhaps after lying down for a month or two, he might even be able to get out of bed and walk.

Who was so heartless?

Damn it, if you hadn’t slammed me onto the hard ground, would I have been so severely injured? Would I have broken so many bones?

Kuro opened his blood-filled mouth, another line of blood overflowing, his eyes full of venomous resentment as he looked at Ling Long.

Just then, a young man with a straw hat walked into the living room. The first thing he saw was Ling Long stepping on Captain Kuro. He exclaimed:

“Ling Long, why are you here too?”

Ling Long?

Kaya’s eyes flickered slightly, and she deeply etched this name into her mind.

“I received news that a pirate was hiding here, planning to seize someone else’s property, so I came to ‘interview’ him about his intentions.”

Ling Long surveyed Luffy, noticing that he had no injuries whatsoever. It seemed his battle with Kuro was completely one-sided.

But that’s not surprising. Kuro, who was under her foot, didn’t even have a weapon. How could he not be thrashed by Luffy?

Kuro probably fled back to the mansion intending to retrieve his weapons there, right?

“Luffy, didn’t you say you were going to the Grand Line? Why did you get into a conflict with my interview subject?”

“Interview subject?”

Luffy glanced at Captain Kuro, who was almost crushed to death by Ling Long, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips, saying, “Ling Long, if you keep stepping on him, your interview subject will be gone.”

Kaya tugged at Ling Long’s clothes and softly said, “Ling Long, please let go of Kuro, let go of Kuro…”

Although Kuro’s identity had been confirmed, he had, after all, taken care of her for three years. Seeing him in such a miserable state now, Kaya truly felt a bit of unbearable pity.

Ling Long nodded and said to Kaya beside her, “Go stand by Nami, so you don’t get caught in the crossfire.”

“Oh…”

Kaya nodded her small head and walked over to Nami’s side.

Nami felt a bit strange. This young lady named Kaya seemed to have changed somehow. Why was she so obedient to Ling Long?

Just then, Usopp ran in in a panic, shouting as he ran, “Kaya, Kaya, are you alright?”

“Usopp?”

Kaya smiled faintly at Usopp and said, “I’m fine. With Ling Long here, I won’t get hurt.”

Ling Long?

Usopp paused his steps, scanned the room, and his gaze finally landed on a handsome, unfamiliar man.

The moment he saw Ling Long, Usopp felt a sense of inferiority, a pang in his chest. Indeed, he and Kaya were from two different worlds.

Zoro, who had just walked in, narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing the name Ling Long.

He remembered Luffy saying that the true name of “Dragon Roar” was Ling Long, right?

Hmm? He also has a long sword hanging at his waist. Is he a swordsman?

Thinking this, Zoro began to carefully observe Ling Long.

Usopp suppressed the disappointment in his heart, took a deep breath, and said:

“Kaya, I personally saw Klahadore use a Den Den Mushi to call a group of pirates to Syrup Village. He’s very likely to harm you…”

Pirates?

Merry suddenly interjected, “Is it the Black Cat Pirates?”

Usopp was stunned, shocked, “How did you know that?”

Merry’s eyes showed understanding, and he smiled easily, saying, “When Mr. Ling Long came to Syrup Village, he encountered the Black Cat Pirates and casually sliced their entire pirate ship into the seabed.”

Sliced into the seabed?

Zoro’s eyes flashed with intensity, and his gaze towards Ling Long was filled with intense fighting spirit.

Indeed, this Ling Long is also a swordsman, and a very powerful one at that.

Ling Long noticed Zoro’s fighting spirit, rolled his eyes, and said exasperatedly, “Roronoa Zoro, don’t look at me like that, it’s creepy.”

“Ling Long, you’re also a swordsman. I want to challenge you. Draw your sword!”

Zoro’s fighting spirit grew even more intense. He quickly drew the three long swords from his waist, assumed a fighting stance, and his mind was incredibly focused.

Ling Long pondered for a moment, then said, “If you lose, promise me one condition.”

Zoro smiled wildly, nodded, and said, “Alright, you make your move.”

Luffy, seeing this, showed no intention of stopping them. Instead, he grinned and stood to the side.

Ling Long shook his head, his right hand forming an empty grip, and with a gentle wave towards Zoro, he said indifferently, “No-Sword Style, Rising Dragon!”

No-Sword Style?

Zoro’s heart flared with anger. Not even drawing his sword? Was he looking down on him?

“Roar~”

A transparent divine dragon made of sword energy appeared out of thin air, letting out a clear dragon roar at Zoro before rushing towards him.

Zoro’s pupils constricted slightly. He bit down hard on the sword in his mouth and shouted, “Three Thousand Worlds!”

“Whoosh~”

Zoro’s speed was extreme. He charged fearlessly towards the divine dragon. As soon as his three long swords made contact with the divine dragon, Zoro’s face suddenly changed.

“Cough~”

Zoro spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale, and the sword in his mouth almost fell to the ground.

Under everyone’s gaze, the sword-energy divine dragon bit Zoro, carried him out of the hall, crashed through the wall, and heavily slammed him onto the grass a hundred meters away.

“Zoro…”

Luffy was momentarily stunned, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly ran out of the hall.
