One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Doctors have their limits.

But he didn't want Kaya to be like that too. That girl was his chosen wife, and she was very dependent on him.

"Devil Fruit!"

He couldn't think of any other way besides using a Devil Fruit.

After spending three days in Xiluobu Village, the warship set sail again, and at the same time, the appointment notice from headquarters arrived.

"G-1 Branch?!?"

Loya was completely dumbfounded when he saw the new location.

Why is it the G-1 branch?!

Chapter 110 Stop Pointing Fingers at Me

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

Frost Moon Dojo.

"what!"

A group of children were practicing swordsmanship with wooden swords, while the dojo master, Shimotsuki Koshiro, stood by and corrected his disciples' postures from time to time.

The children went home for lunch one after another after the class ended at noon.

Loya arrived with several of his men.

"excuse me."

"You are?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at Loya with a slight puzzlement.

Loya took out the Rain Cutter and explained his purpose with a smile: "My name is Loya, I am a colonel of the Loguetown Naval Branch, and I have come here specifically to visit Mr. Shimotsuki Kosaburo."

"This knife."

Koushirou looked at the familiar Ame-giri and quickly understood.

This knife was the last work of his father, Kozaburo. It was commissioned by Mr. Sirob and forged by his father, who also contributed a lot to the process.

Koushirou's eyes dimmed slightly as he shook his head and said gently, "I'm sorry, my father has passed away."

"."

Loya's smile faded.

"Is it because of this knife?"

"That's it."

Koushirou smiled freely: "This sword was my father's last work. He was old and his energy was limited. He passed away peacefully not long after he finished forging this sword."

"I'm very sorry."

Loya felt somewhat apologetic.

No need to apologize.

Koushirou had already come to terms with it: "Father left with a smile. He must have been very pleased to be able to forge such a famous sword at the end of his life. If you can use it well, that is the best way to repay my father."

"Well, I will."

Loya nodded solemnly.

Without Mr. Sirob's connection, it's unlikely that Kousaburo would have forged a sword for him, much less died from exhaustion.

Famous swords are hard to come by.

"Oh, right, Zoro."

Loya turned around, his gaze momentarily fixed on something.

Where is Zoro?

"."

Fenbdi and Zango were stunned for a moment, then quickly looked around and found no one around them. Large beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

They were just following behind!

Holy crap, that kid got lost on his way home?

Upon hearing Zoro's name, Koushirou was both surprised and delighted: "Zoro came back with you?"

"Yes."

Loya briefly explained the situation.

"Haha~ Zoro still hasn't gotten rid of his habit of getting lost."

Koushirou smiled with relief: "Don't worry about him. I can roughly guess where he is. Come into the dojo and have a cup of tea. Zoro will be back tonight."

"That's annoying."

The back mountain outside the dojo, on the hillside.

An old tombstone is stuck on a slightly desolate mound, the inscriptions of which are blurred, but the names can still be vaguely made out.

【The Tomb of Kuina】.

A new fruit platter and two white wine glasses were placed in front of the tombstone, with a Wado Ichimonji placed next to the glass closest to the tombstone.

"Crash!"

The wine glass is filled with sake.

"I've come to see you, Kuina."

Zoro sat alone in front of the tombstone, drank his own sake, and then poured Kuina's sake onto the ground.

He may not be able to find Frostmoon Village, he may not be able to find his home, but the road that led him here is firmly etched in his soul.

"Kuina, I encountered a very powerful navy officer after I set sail."

Zoro slowly recounted all his experiences after setting sail, leaving nothing out, as well as his process and insights into becoming stronger.

There was light in the boy's eyes.

"Next, I'm going to the Grand Line. I've heard there are many monster swordsmen there, so I might not be back for a long time."

"But I assure you, the next time I come to see you, I will be bearing the title of the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Then, let's continue our 2002nd duel!"

Night falls.

Zoro returned to the dojo.

"Master, I'm back."

"Well, welcome home."

There was no excessive small talk, just like before.

The next day, Zoro bid farewell to Koushirou and resolutely followed Loya, heading to a wider stage to pursue the title of "World's Greatest Swordsman".

"Sail!"

The warships sailed into the sea.

Loya stood on the edge of the deck, looking towards Frostmoon Village, as well as the directions of Shells Town and Sirob Village.

All those who needed to be said goodbye have said goodbye.

Next, we'll head to the New World and won't be returning to the East China Sea for a while, as transportation in this world isn't as convenient.

"Branch G-1"

Loya sighed in frustration.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

He wanted to go to the G-5 branch, but the approval had already been issued, and it was basically impossible to change it.

On the bright side, the G-1 branch is also in the New World, not far from the G-5 branch, so it's somewhat acceptable.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

The military strength of the G-1 branch is second only to the Navy Headquarters. To put it simply, there are commodores as many as dogs and major generals everywhere.

He never gets to claim credit!

To make a name for yourself in such a strictly regulated place, you can't just follow the rules blindly; you need at least some reliable support.

Under normal circumstances, he can take a few directly subordinate officers with him when he takes office, at most no more than 10 people, and he cannot bring all the branch officers with him, as that would make it difficult for the branch to operate.

Smoker

Among the Marines in the Loguetown branch, Smoker is definitely the best, but that guy is of the same rank as him, so he can't take him with him.

Moreover, after he leaves, Smoker will undoubtedly become the new base chief of Loguetown, and headquarters will not allow Smoker to leave with him.

Other school officers.
