Luffy was pinned under the Black Cat's bow mainly because he was hypnotized.
Zoro only had one sword and was suppressed by the Nyaban Brothers.
Nami, holding a knife, was cut on her left shoulder by Jango.
Usopp was almost in despair, but then he saw Jango's expression suddenly change from the smug look of having cut and stopped Nami from getting her knife to one of utter terror.
"Ah!! This... this also happened for a reason!!"
Usopp followed Jango's gaze and saw Bai Yun and Kuro standing on top of the slope, one on each side.
Usopp knew Kuro—more than knew him, he wanted to punch him in the face several times.
As for Bai Yun, Usopp was seeing him for the first time, but with Nami's shout, he was introduced.
"Bai Yun!"
"You're here! That's great!"
Nami knew Bai Yun's strength; after all, he was the one who had taken on the entire Buggy Pirates.
But then Bai Yun shook his head, and Nami's expression instantly froze.
"What do you mean by shaking your head?!"
Kuro, too, couldn't hold back his anger, and after pushing his glasses with his palm, he shouted,
"No wonder the plan wasn't executed even after daylight!"
"To think we were stopped by a bunch of kids!!"
"The Black Cat Pirates are truly disgraceful."
He said that, but who knows who Bai Yun had kept busy in the mansion hall all night.
"Truly incompetent."
Jango trembled in fear, but the Nyaban Brothers were bolder and couldn't stand the word "incompetent."
"Incompetent, you call us incompetent?"
"You were indeed strong before, Captain Kuro, but now, it's been three years. You've been living a life of luxury in the village, while we've plundered countless treasures and fought countless battles."
"Do you think you, who's been idle for three years, can defeat us?"
After speaking, the Nyaban Brothers suddenly attacked Kuro.
Bai Yun moved to the right and couldn't help but let out a snicker.
Kuro knew it was mockery, and his face completely lost all composure.
He instantly flashed behind the Nyaban Brothers, his cat-claw gloves already on, and placed his hands directly on the two brothers' necks.
The oppressive feeling, sealed away for three years, returned, and the two brothers were so scared they were almost crying.
"Don't be foolish, Nyaban Brothers. Even on land, for three years, Captain Kuro has maintained the habit of pushing his glasses with his palm. This is to prevent his weapon, the cat claws, from hurting himself."
"Three years have passed, and this habit remains, which means Captain Kuro hasn't forgotten how to fight even after coming ashore."
Kuro raised his thumb, and the blade on his thimble pointed at the Nyaban Brothers' necks.
Were they touched? The two brothers didn't dare to move an inch.
"After three years of recuperation, my temper seems to have improved quite a bit."
While Kuro was threatening the Nyaban Brothers, Bai Yun gave Nami a meaningful look.
First, he glanced at Nami, then at the knife on the ground. Nami instantly understood and nodded slightly.
"Five minutes."
"I'm giving you five minutes to clean up this mess, otherwise..."
"I'll kill all of you."
Kuro said coldly, then released the Nyaban Brothers. And this was after his temper had improved.
Jango and the Nyaban Brothers were still deluding themselves that if they just killed Zoro, they could get into the village via the slope.
But the next moment, Nami quickly moved forward and kicked Zoro's two swords towards him.
"Zoro!"
"Catch!"
"Damn it! Nami, how dare you kick my swords!"
Zoro said, his eyes slightly open, but after catching the swords, he thanked her, showing a bit of tsundere in him.
At the same time, Bai Yun's bracelet transformed into a gong and a gong mallet.
The Nyaban Brothers saw Zoro get his swords, but still looked disdainful. We suppressed you just now, and we still can!
"What if you have your swords! Just go die!"
With that, the two instantly attacked.
Zoro didn't reply, his eyes locked on the two.
With a sword in his mouth, he took a stance with two swords as if carrying them on his back. As the Nyaban Brothers approached, Zoro's eyes widened slightly, and his figure flashed!
"Three Sword Style - Tiger Hunt!"
The next moment, Zoro appeared behind them, his blades already in a striking posture.
And the Nyaban Brothers were already lying on the ground, blood seeping from their chests.
As Zoro drew his sword, Bai Yun also slammed the gong. The sound of the gong echoed throughout the slope and the coast. Luffy, who was pinned under the ship's bow and sleeping soundly, had his snot bubble burst by the gong's sound waves.
Luffy slowly opened his eyes.
Bai Yun had promised Kuro not to interfere until Jango, the Nyaban Brothers, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp had decided the victor, but he never said he couldn't make "music," right?
What's wrong with me loving to play the gong?
Luffy woke up and easily pushed off the ship's bow that was pinning him down.
"I slept so well!"
"Hmm? The bad butler is here too."
While everyone's attention was on Luffy, Nami quickly moved away from Jango.
"Luffy! You must win this fight!"
