1 The Birth Of The Viceroy

The first half of the Grand Line, Paradise.

The grounds of Shichibukai Gekko Moria, Thriller barque.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be One Piece."

A somewhat chaotic thought reverberated in his mind. The consciousness that had been completely silent due to the high-intensity battle became active again because of a mysterious special force.

Accompanied by the awakening of self-awareness.

A voice began to echo in his mind.

"It is detected that the host state is extremely poor, and the evolution point is drawn to start evolution."

"Reparation for injuries"

"The comprehensive evolution of physical fitness begins, and the estimated time is ten days."

"Conqueror's Haki evolution begins, evolution completes."

"Devil Fruit evolution begins, ability evolution development, estimated time, ten days."

Amidst this sound, waves of energy gushed out from the body, quickly repairing the injuries on the body.

Coupled with a mysterious force, most of the injuries and fatigue in the body were ejected. The body that was seriously injured due to the battle was actually recovering at an extremely terrifying speed.

Luffy has regained part of his consciousness at this moment, but he has not fully recovered and cannot really control his body.

Also in this completely dark world, he heard a familiar voice.

"Exchange my life for Luffy's life."

"Although my head is not particularly famous now, but it is the head that will become the world's number one swordsman. I think there should be no shortage."

...

"This is, Zoro's voice? Why are you so humble."

thought Luffy.

Even in the face of Hawkeye, the world's number one swordsman, Zoro never lowered his head, why now?

Isn't Gekko Moria already solved?

Have you met a new enemy again?

Wake up, my body.

Yet there was still darkness ahead.

…

"If you can't even protect your own captain, what ambition is there?"

"Luffy, it's the man who is going to be the One Piece."

…

"Feel hell, Roronoa."

The gentle voice sounded, but it contained a kind of regret.

As if regretting the person in front of him, life is about to wither.

A group of small blood-colored orbs popped out, slowly floated in front of Zoro, and then melted into his chest.

Zoro's expression froze in an instant.

Then in the next second, it completely turned into pain.

With his will that is harder than steel, even if his bones are broken, the terrible will that has never screamed out, but at this moment he screamed out in pain.

Such is the pain and fatigue that Luffy brings.

Compared with the physique of the rubber man, the pain of Zoro, who is an ordinary person, may be doubled.

"Is this what Luffy suffers from?"

Only at this moment can Zoro better understand that the kind of injuries and pain Luffy endured after every battle, just a little bit, is already unimaginable for ordinary people.

"How, do you want to continue?"

Bear said.

Those who have not seen hell dare to go to hell.

But facing hell, and going to hell, the courage required is more than ten times that of the former.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo."

Zoro gasped heavily, then said in a low voice.

"I'm going to change places."

A moment later, he was faced with a huge ball of blood-red flesh condensed from fatigue and pain.

Zoro didn't say anything, his eyes were terrifyingly calm, the eyes of a man who was determined to die.

The next moment, Zoro pressed his hands directly into the huge blood-red flesh ball without any hesitation.

An even bigger pain than before flooded the whole body in an instant.

Uncontrollable screams resounded throughout the Thriller barque.

However, in the entire Thriller barque, everyone was unconscious, and no one could hear Zoro's screams.

Except for one person.

"Is that Zoro's voice? A scream of pain, what happened?"

"What a painful emotion, is this Zoro's emotion? Is he dying? How is that possible?"

"Wake me up, my body."

With a growl, Luffy opened his eyes instantly.

At this moment, the body is relaxed and intoxicating, but Luffy can no longer care about the changes in his body.

Zoro's screams filled his ears.

In Observation Haki, he clearly felt the pain, as if he would die at any moment.

"Second gear."

Without any movement, Luffy's body was steaming instantly, and the whole person disappeared in place in an instant.

"what?"

The bear seemed to have sensed something, showing a surprised expression.

This is the second time he's surprised, the first time when Zoro asked for his life.

A figure exuding rich steam passed over his head in an instant.

Then he pulled out Zoro who had inserted his hands into the bloody illusory meat ball.

Just less than ten seconds.

Zoro's body was already covered with blood.

There is also a steady stream of blood flowing from his body.

And that huge meat ball has only been reduced by a third.

"What happened? Zoro, what are you doing?"

Luffy's knowledge at this moment can clearly perceive the horror brought by the bloody flesh ball in front of him, but just now Zoro directly inserted his hands into it.

"Nothing happened."

The severe pain made Zoro speechless, and he said with difficulty: "Get out of the way, Luffy, this is an agreement between men."

Zoro's face didn't change because of Luffy's appearance.

Bear's strength, he knew, was much stronger than Gekko Moria's.

That was not an enemy they could deal with at this moment. They could only continue the previous agreement and exchange his life for Luffy's.

Only in this way can their pirate group continue.

As for whether he will live or die when the time comes, he has already made up his mind.

"That's your accumulated fatigue and injuries, Straw Hat Boy, you have a good partner, Roronoa, and I promised to exchange his life for yours."

"It's better for you to respect his will now."

Xiong said calmly.

"I don't know what agreement you made, since this is my injury and fatigue, why let Zoro bear it, this is my thing."

"I will not let my companions bear the pain that I should bear."

Luffy said loudly.

Then he directly pressed one hand into the huge bloody flesh ball.

boom.

The heart seemed to stop for a moment.

The indescribable pain directly made Luffy scream.

At this moment, he knew why Zoro couldn't bear the pain with his will.
