đ ă â Iâ I can defend myself! Really! â Albeit poorly with no more than her trowel at hand, seeing him attack with such ferocity using a kitchen knife invalidates her excuses! Alas, willpower without strength is still insufficient; her attempt to deflect the beast fails, and she even manages to get him hurt in the process. ( How, sheâs quite uncertain,but it surely happened during her tussle onto the ground. Did he end up compensating for her failure? )
     â âŚ! Just hold on a moment, Iâll patch you up right away! â Without MiâLady at full power, the power of these âsagesâ can be quite handy. Hopefully heâll let her tend to that scratch on his arm. â âŚIâm sorry. â
The typically white plastic of the kitchen knife heâd been forced to wield was enveloped in a black essence. Armament Haki, the ability to focus his own fighting spirit into his strikes in order to lend them some strength. Though as it stood, he didnât have much in the way of strength. He felt weaker here. Like something was weighing him down. It wasnât just the fact that theyâd taken his swords but all that hard training heâd done seemed like it didnât mean jack here.
Thatâs probably what pissed him off most.
The beast managed to get a good strike in but not before he jerked his knife free of the thingâs skin and jabbed it into the damn thingâs eye socket, driving it as deep as it could go. It gave a terrible roar and shook free of him before barreling off in some random direction. Likely to terrorize someone else or lick its wounds. Zoro slumped to the ground, panting a little bit and furrowing his brow as he placed a hand over his wound tightly. He hadnât been fast enough to spread Armament Haki there. Frustration got the better of him.
âSave your strength. Iâll be fine. Iâve had worse wounds before. Just need to rest for a second.â He glanced down at the âknifeâ in his hand with a bit of annoyance and gave a roll of his eye. âYouâve got nothinâ to be sorry for. Was bound to happen eventually against these damn things. If I had my swords itâd be a different story. You alright?â
