Chapter 197. Kill!

" Rage.... Heavenly Demon...

ASHURA!!! "

The black sword in Zoro's hand was engulfed by a black and red energy. The world's colour seemed to dim as clouds gathered above the gorge.

The giant red ape faintly felt something wrong. It was about to attack again when it felt a chill run down its spine. It raised its head and looked behind Zoro. The moment it did so, it's heart turned cold.

A Demon stood behind Zoro, it was several meters in height with pale white skin and blood coloured pupil. The demon's hair danced wildly in air, a mountain of corpses laid beneath it's feat as it stared at the giant ape.

Three swords now floated before Zoro. All three of them pitch black in colour with engravings of demons on its sheath.

This was the release of Zoro's first sword Ashura.

The wounds he suffered healed at naked speed. His energy spiked to an unbelievable level, his instincts sharpened to its heights. Above all else several runes now appeared around his eyes and his eyes were blood red in colour.

Zoro spoke in an eerie cold voice " Die."

He grabbed one of the three swords and unsheathed it. The moment the sword came out the world trembled, lightning condensed above the gorge and was ready to strike upon Zoro.

But the Titan insignia on Zoro glowed. The lightning seemed to have sensed something and dispersed but the clouds were still there.

Ryu who was running towards the central location of the continent turned his head towards Zoro's direction and smiled.

" It seems he also released his powers. Interesting, first Kenpachi and now Zoro. Both possessing Bloodline and talent that even the heavens can't tolerate ..... Hahahaha, I can't wait to see what heights they will reach."

Zoro looked at the giant ape and swung the pitch black sword at it. His sword domain was even stronger now, the ape tried to dodge but it felt like it entered a world of swords as Zoro's domain swept past it.

Sizzz

The ape froze in mid air, it looked at Zoro with hatred and fear. Slowly a faint red line appeared it's neck. Very quickly a black aura engulfed the giant ape and reduced its body to pieces.

Zoro put back his sword and sealed his sword. He looked at a direction and continued to walk.

*********

In a valley....

A river flowed through here, just that the colour of the water was violet in colour. Several beasts could be seen lurking around. There bodies also contained several traces of violet colour.

A thin figure hugging a sword was standing above a huge tree near this violet river and looking at a direction. This figure was obviously Law.

His eyes were fixed at a plant several meters from him. This plant was completely violet except for its flower, the flower was white in colour without a single drop of impurity.

' White Lily..... never thought I would see it here. Anyway, obtaining it won't be easy with these things around.'

Law looked at a place just behind that plant and saw three beast fully violet in colour with several shades of white on it. Among the three violet beast one was bigger than the other two, clearly it was stronger.

Law didn't hesitate further and jumped down. His appearance was noticed by these beasts.

Roooaaarrrr!!!!!

All three of them released loud roars and pounced at Law. Seeing the incoming attack Law released his room. He switched places with this beasts and tried to get the flower but he was blocked. He couldn't just pluck the flower with his power, that would ruin it so he could only try to gather it personally.

He raised his sword and cut at the three violet beasts. These three beasts weren't dumb, they knew their opponent was strong, they also understood how to coordinate their attacks.

Unlike before Law had practiced how to use his sword with Zoro and incorporated his abilities with his devil fruit abilities.

His figure kept dodging through the region. The three beasts had several wounds on their body, all three beasts felt dizzy after battling for sometime. Nature's Qi has the ability to turn into any poison Law had analysed before. Since his information was lacking and he hasn't released his Shikai this was the best he could create.

Before long the three violet beasts hit the floor, all three of them had lost contact consciousness. Law walked to the White Lily and carefully plucked some mature leaves as well the blooming flower.

A faint aroma spread from the Lily which brought ease to his mind but Law knew this was dangerous. This type of plant is very dangerous depending upon how you use it.

He used Nature's Qi and wrapped the leaves and flowers before placing it inside the storage dimension. Law left after taking what he came here for, he didn't damage the plant in the least.

Unlike the others Law didn't seek out a fight, he went searching for herbs. But the problem is, any valuable herb will be guarded by a beast and that was a bother. Law had to go through dozens of battles in the past few hours before collecting several herbs. All in all this was a fruitful journey.

Law came to an ubrupt halt, he looked towards a swamp. His nose twitched a bit, then he seemed to be thinking about something. A second later Law opened his eyes in astonishment. He turned towards the swamp and rushed.

He trekked through the murky waters like it was nothing. He traversed hundreds of meter in a second and finally reached his destination.

Law's gaze was focused onto a tree, the tree seemed ordinary without a special feature to it but a pleasant aroma spread through the entire region. Unlike the Lily, this aroma seemed to help Law in circulating his Nature's Qi a bit faster.

Law stated at a fruit hiding within the leaves. His heartbeat quickened seeing the fruit, it was black in colour with several white spots all over its body.

' Two Revolutions Fruit!! With it my Cultivation will reach Ascension realm in a short time!! And It's only a day away from maturity!! '

The area above the mountain was barren with very few bushes and several plants growing here and there. Law didn't sense any other creature, but this didn't ease his mind instead his furrowed his brows.

An invisible ripple spread across the entire desolate swamp. When this ripple went past the tree Law drew out his sword. He snapped his fingers

' Room!! '

His body appeared right at the crown of the tree and stabbed down at the green leaves.

Hisssss.....

An eerie hissing sound echoed from the green leaves. A long slender green snake with red eyes and visible feather like scales revealed itself and flicked its tail at Law's sword.

DING!!

Metal colliding sound echoed.

Law's eyes shrunk ' What a powerful body!! '

His eyes gleamed, the Law before would worry needlessly on how to take down an opponent stronger than him but not the present Law. His face didn't show any visible excitement just an evil smile.

' Let's play! '
