Chapter 414: Onigumo vs Zoro Part 1

Onigumo spat blood out. He smiled. "You are a fool," Onigumo remarked.

"Fool?" Zoro said, smiling. 

"Yes, you should have let Alvida Iron Mace stayed here to help you out. She had a bounty of 105,000,000 Beli, so she might have made me sweat," he responded. He had a big smirk on his face.

"She did more than make you sweat, she made you go flying," Zoro replied. "The red looks good on you," Zoro added. 

Onigumo gritted his teeth. "It was a cheap shot," Onigumo said. He thought that the weapon must have some sort of sea prism. He lost his energy as she attacked. He thought, where did she get that. 

"I am wasting my time talking to you," Onigumo said. Onigumo swung his sword at Zoro. Zoro blocked his eight swords. Onigumo's eyes widened. He swung his swords again.

Zoro reacted instantly, raising his swords in a flash as he deflected the incoming strikes with a series of rapid parries. The sound of steel meeting steel rang. 

Onigumo twisted his body, bringing another wave of slashing strikes from above. Zoro countered with a forceful upward slash, blocking the assault.

Zor and Onigumo clashed again, their swords locking in a fierce deadlock. A shockwave erupted from their collision, sending dust and debris flying in all directions. With a grunt, they pushed off each other and leapt back. Zoro's eyes narrowed, his breath steady and focused, while Onigumo sneered, his spider-like legs flexed.

"You seem to possess some skill, swordsman," Onigumo taunted. "What is your name?" he asked. 

"Roronoa Zoro," Zoro replied.

"Prepare to die Zoro," Onigumo said with a smirk. "All pirates will die," he added. 

"We will see who will die," Zoro said. He looked to see Ongiumo who was bleeding in various places. His clothes were covered in dirt and he had scratches all over his body. 

"Spider Fang Strike," Onigumo said as he thrust all eight swords forward at once, each sword targeting a different vital point on Zoro`s body.

"Blade Wolf Stream," Zoro said as he leaned towards Onigumo. He used two of his swords to block Ongiumo`s sword while twisting his body to block the attack. Zoro was pushed back as defended himself from the attack. 

"See if you can keep up," Onigumo said. "Web Weaver Slash," Onigumo said as he extended his eight swords outward like spider legs, spinning rapidly in place. The blades created a web-like pattern of slashes. They went towards Zoro. Zoro blocked it with his swords and stopped the slashed coming towards him. He slid back again. He panted. 

Zoro looked up. "Oni Giri," Zoro said as he crossed his two swords over his chest. He had another sword in his mouth. With a sudden burst of speed, Zoro dashed toward Onigumo. As he reached him, he swung the swords across his chest in a powerful, descending diagonal slash, while the blade in his mouth delivered a horizontal cut. 

Onigumo got cut. He staggered back. He thought he took more damage than he thought from the attacks before. He smiled. "Eight-Legged Dance of Death," Onigumo said as he performed a rapid series of slashes with all eight swords towards Zoro. Each blade moved in a different direction to create a chaotic flurry of attacks. Zoro got hit with the rapid barrage of swords. He got struck on his arm, leg and chest as he went flying back. 

Zoro mid-air quickly recovered and landed on his feet. He spat blood as he looked at Onigumo. He looked to see there was a slash mark on his chest however no blood. He ran towards Onigumo. "Tiger Hunt," Zoro said as he positioned his hand swords over the blade in his mouth. He swung all three swords forward in a powerful descending slash. 

"Widow's Kiss," Onigumo said as he lunged forward with all eight swords, targeting Zoro's swords torso. They both clashed. There was a shockwave. Zoro could feel his swords vibrate. He felt the force of wind pushing him back. Zoro looked up to see Onigumo smile. Onigumo took a step forward and pushed Zoro back. Zoro felt the energy and was tossed back. 

He landed on his feet. He spat his spit out. Zoro thought he was strong. He smiled. "Tarantula Pounce," Onigumo said as he leaped high into the air, his spider legs spread wide. He descended rapidly, all eight swords pointed downward towards Zoro. 

"Bull Ogre Brave Claw," Zoro said as he pointed all three of his swords directly at Onigumo. He lunged forward and struck with immense force. They both clashed.There was another shockwave from the attacks. Onigumo pushed past the attack. Zoro was taken back by the attack. The eight sword cut him as he flew back. Zoro hit the wall and spat blood. He felt his chest bleeding. 

He landed on his knees. He got up. "Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri," Zoro said as he twisted his swords. With a burst of speed, Zoro dashed toward Onigumo. He closed the distance. He struck Onigumo. The twisting motion caused the blades to bring a more devastating attack. Onigumo spat blood as he got cut. 

However he smiled. "Spider Fang Strike," Onigumo said as he thrust all eight swords forward at once, each sword targeting a different vital point on Zoro`s body as he struck Zoro. Zoro got hit and he spat blood. He hit the floor. Onigumo took his swords out. 

"You are so weak," Onigumo remarked. "A waste of time," Onigumo added 

Zoro felt his body in shock for a second. His vital points got hit. "Shut up," Zoro replied. "You are just an insect," Zoro said. 

 "Prepare to die," Onigumo said as he was about to swing his eight swords at Zoro. "Dragon Twister," Zoro said as he spun rapidly with his swords, generating a powerful tornado that took the shape of a dragon.

Onigumo jumped back narrowly avoiding the tornado. He looked to see the tornado had destroyed the ceiling. He kissed his teeth. "You will die for justice," Onigumo said. 

"You will be the one getting squashed," Zoro said as he looked at Onigumo.
