Chapter 208: Another Obstacle Appears
“Zoro… was defeated?”
Chopper noticed the picture of Zoro falling, and his mind suddenly went blank. He never thought that the mighty Zoro would be instantly defeated by Solo on the spot.
The strength gap between the two sides is too great. And Zoro is undoubtedly one of the strongest among them. It’s just… despair!
The scene of Zoro’s fall brought a great shock to his heart. Could it be that on this battlefield, there is no one who can stop Solo?
“Zoro…”
Sanji clenched his teeth, unable to accept such a fact. Although there are often unpleasant things between him and Zoro. Quarrels are commonplace. But he has always admired Zoro’s swordsmanship strength.
He also believes that sooner or later, Zoro will surpass Hawkeye and become the world’s number one swordsman. Especially when Zoro went out resolutely and wanted to stop Solo. He believed in Zoro’s choice without hesitation.
Yet it only took a few short breaths for everything to change. No… Maybe it didn’t even take a breath. Zoro was defeated. Worst of all, Solo is closing in on them, and his speed is incredibly fast. It won’t be long before Solo catches up with them.
This guy is like a monster—terrifying.
“We can’t let him get away!” Luffy gasped.
Since there’s no way to retreat, it’s better to take the initiative and fight. Now, defeating Solo is their only option. However, Luffy’s words made Chopper, Nami, Usopp, and the others turn pale.
Luffy may be the strongest among the Straw Hat Pirates, but his strength isn’t much greater than Zoro’s. Let alone someone like Chopper. Even if they join forces, they won’t match Zoro’s fighting power alone. Stopping here and facing Solo is equivalent to walking to their deaths.
“There’s only one way.”
Sanji clenched his teeth, even though he didn’t want to fight a monster like Solo. But right now, defeating Solo seems to be the only choice they have.
“However, can we really defeat the navy with our current strength?” Franky couldn’t help but doubt.
They fought against Solo once in the Florian Triangle. His power seemed to transcend everything they knew. Now that their main combat power, Zoro, is missing… If they stay here, forget about rescuing Ace. It’s likely that all of them will be wiped out.
“Leave it to me.”
But at this critical moment, Jimbei suddenly stopped. When he was in the Impel Down, he was deeply moved by Luffy’s spirit. He believed that if it was Luffy, he would save Ace.
Moreover, his own strength is considerable among them. As a fishman, he can utilize the characteristics of his race, turning seawater into his weapon. Without waiting for the others to react, Jimbei kicked his feet hard and rushed straight toward Solo.
He had made up his mind to use his own strength to stop Solo!
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you, Jinbe.”
Seeing Jimbei charge forward, Luffy nodded heavily and continued running toward the execution platform. The execution ceremony is about to begin, and time is running out.
On the other side…
Solo’s eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing the figure rushing towards him. It was none other than Jimbei, one of the former Warlords of the Sea.
Ace had once fought against Jimbei on land for five days and five nights, without a clear winner which made them become close friends. This time, he even gave up his title as a Warlord to rescue Ace.
Jimbei is different from Hawkeye. As a martial artist, Hawkeye has no attachment to titles like the Warlords of the Sea. But for Jimbei, it’s different. He is a fishman.
The relationship between fishmen and humans has always been delicate. With the title of Warlord, he could protect his fellow fishmen.
“I won’t let you stop Mr. Luffy, Marine,” Jimbei said in a low voice, readying himself for a fight.
He stood before Solo like a human wall, determined not to let him pass.
“After Zoro, it’s Jimbei,” Solo muttered to himself.
In terms of strength, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a pirate, a marine, or one of the Seven Warlords. There are many who are stronger than Luffy.
Jimbei, standing in front of him, is undoubtedly stronger than the Straw Hat Pirates. However, even these strong individuals, all believe in Luffy from the bottom of their hearts. They have become his partners. As Hawkeye Mihawk said, Luffy possesses the most formidable power on the seas.
“Come on, Marine!”
In an instant, Jimbei shouted loudly, clenching his fist with five fingers and directing his strength toward the ice beneath his feet. With a deafening bang, the entire ice surface began to crack as shocking cracks spread toward Solo’s feet.
Jimbei knew very well that Solo’s strength surpassed his own. Hawkeye Mihawk, as the world’s greatest swordsman, not only impressed Jimbei with his swordsmanship but also showcased advanced combat techniques.
Among all the people Jimbei had encountered, only a handful had mastered such advance technique. Yet, Hawkeye Mihawk suffered a crushing defeat against Solo. Not to mention that Jimbei himself is only a mid-level pirate among the Warlords of the Sea.
However, even if his strength is inferior to Solo’s, he is not helpless. Dragging Solo into the water is his best option. Using their advantage in the sea, they can create opportunities.
Even if he fails to defeat Solo, he can exhaust his stamina to the maximum, preventing him from pursuing Luffy and his crew any further. Most importantly, there’s a high possibility that Solo possesses a Devil Fruit. Otherwise, how could he unleash fiery attacks like that?
As long as someone has a Devil Fruit, they all share a common weakness. That weakness is seawater. Thinking of this, Jimbei took a deep breath.
With the determination to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, he shattered the ice beneath his feet. Next, Jimbei’s body quickly sank, plunging into the seawater. The ice under Solo’s feet also crumbled at a visible speed.
“You want to drag me into the sea and rely on the advantage of the fishmen to decide the outcome?” Solo muttered to himself, seeing through Jimbei’s intentions.
But, if he doesn’t defeat Jimbei here, he probably won’t be able to get close to Luffy. So, he decided to deal with Jimbei first. With that thought in mind, Solo dove into the sea.
