One Piece: Burning the Prison Clothes in the Setting Sun, Mihawk is dumbfounded.

"Come on, let's make a promise and strive together to become the world's greatest swordsman."

Zoro was completely engrossed in the frenzy, so excited that he looked like he was about to faint at any moment.

However, no one responded to his excitement.

A cold wind blew by, and the trees in the forest rustled.

Even Zoro felt a little embarrassed.

"I never said I wanted to become the world's greatest swordsman!"

Dunn stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Since you've chosen to study swordsmanship, don't you want to become the strongest?"

Zoro's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists tightly, seemingly not quite believing Dunn's words.

Kuina was also a little curious.

"I am different from you. You all have firm ideals, but I don't. Maybe when you become the world's greatest swordsmen, I will still be an insignificant nobody."

"When I go out and someone bullies me, I'll just say my junior brother or sister is the world's greatest swordsman, and then I can eat and drink without paying."

Dunn said with a smile.

Then, Zoro and Kuina's eyes turned contemptuous.

"This is so decadent!"

Zoro said with a hint of disappointment, but then he frowned.

"No, I'm the senior brother."

Zoro realized what was happening.

"I taught you swordsmanship, so you should call me senior sister."

Kuina nodded repeatedly.

"Look at you all, you're about to become the world's greatest swordsmen, and you're still so petty. It's just a title. I'm older than you, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to call you junior brothers and sisters, isn't it?"

Dunn said with a helpless expression.

"Is this reasonable?" Zoro raised his hand and scratched his short green hair, looking at Kuina.

"Uh..." Kuina raised her hand and scratched her face, without giving an answer.

"Besides, given how close we are, it's perfectly reasonable for me to use your names to dine and dash in the future, isn't it?"

Dunn said again.

Zoro and Kuina looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

The two felt that Dunn's words were problematic, but they didn't know how to refute them.

"Haha! You little rascal, you've got them all confused."

Suddenly, a voice appeared, and Dunn turned his head sharply.

Behind a tree in the direction of the dojo, a person with a head bigger than their body stood there, half of their head showing.

"Monster!"

Zoro's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Dunn slapped Zoro, who had jumped up, back to the ground.

"This person belongs to a special race from the sea, the Big-Headed Clan."

Dunn said with a serious expression.

Zoro looked shocked, while Kuina looked curious.

"So this is the strange race you mentioned from the sea. It is indeed very strange."

Kuina was filled with emotion; the ocean was indeed mysterious.

Ivankov, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, was completely speechless.

While Ryu and Koushirou were talking, he came out alone. He heard a noise coming from afar, so he went over and overheard three children talking.

That's quite ambitious; he wants to become the strongest in the ocean and the world's greatest swordsman.

Then, I heard the older one trying to fool the two younger ones.

As a result, they've even given themselves a race.

"Hehe! Kid, I'm not some big-headed person, I'm just a human."

As Ivankov emerged, he approached Zoro and Kuina under their curious gazes, saying something as he did so.

How do you know you aren't?

Dunn turned to look at Ivankov, who was approaching, and asked in a calm tone.

"What if your ancestor was, but your race perished over the long years, leaving only you?"

Zoro and his companion nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what Dunn said.

My parents were both human.

Ivankov was taken aback and instinctively retorted.

"That's possible. As I said, over the long years, the Big-Headed Clan almost disappeared. The remaining people married humans, and their bloodline was hidden. It's just that in your generation, the bloodline was restored."

Dunn said with a serious expression.

"So that's how it is!"

Zoro said with a look of sudden realization.

"Don't believe him, he's obviously talking nonsense."

Ivankov was speechless when he saw that Zoro was actually supporting him.

This older kid is really eloquent; he even started to believe his own words.

"You say I'm talking nonsense, then show me the evidence."

Dunn remained composed, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Then, Kuina and Zoro looked at Ivankov expectantly, clearly hoping that Ivankov would produce evidence.

"I...I have no evidence."

Ivankov hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

How do you produce evidence in this kind of situation?

"See, since you have no evidence, it means you might indeed be a member of the Big-Headed Tribe, right?"

Dunn shrugged.

Ivankov hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Is this race something you made up? I know a lot about history, and I've never heard of such a group."

Another voice suddenly joined in.

A tall figure wearing a hooded cape walked over, his voice sharp and piercing, sounding like the clash of metal.

Three blood-red question marks were above his head.

dragon!

The dragon that emerged was also sizing up Dunn.

After he finished talking with Koushirou about the food, Koushirou mentioned a boy who had recently arrived at Isshin Dojo, a boy with very high talent and aptitude.

The dragon was naturally curious, so it came to take a look.

Everything that happened here naturally couldn't escape his Observation Haki. He witnessed the two children being fooled the whole time, and even Ivankov was made to lose confidence by the sophistry.

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Dunn's eyes scanned the dragon, lingering a little longer on the shoe print on its face.

"If that's what you're saying, then there's some truth to it."

Long nodded slightly.

"leader!"

Ivankov was somewhat embarrassed.

Dunn was definitely wrong, but he didn't know how to refute him.

Have you ever considered going overseas?

Dragon waved to Ivankov, then looked at Dunn and asked.

"Going to sea? That won't do."

Upon hearing this, Dunn shook his head immediately.

Whether it's going to sea now or the dragon trying to recruit him, he has no intention of doing it.

"So, your dream is to wait for those two to become powerful figures on the high seas, and then use their fame to eat without paying?"

Long was delighted.

He certainly didn't believe it, after all, this time when collecting grain, Koushirou's side raised much more than others, the reason being, of course, the money that this boy named Dunn contributed.

"Is it not allowed? Zoro, you don't want to?"

As Dunn spoke, he turned to ask Zoro.

Zoro scratched his head.

Actually, he felt that doing it this way was wrong.

But thinking about it, I'm already the number one swordsman, so it shouldn't be a big deal if I let my junior brother go out for a meal without paying.

"Yes...yes!"

Zoro nodded.

Dragon's gaze fell on Zoro, and he could tell that the green-haired brat had been completely fooled.

"Koushirou said you're learning how to control Armament Haki?"
