On the battlefield, a black line appeared on the old man's forehead. Wang Zhe's inexplicable words made him feel that he had not received the respect that students should have for their teachers. He was teaching seriously, at least that's what he felt. He had automatically put himself in the shoes of Teacher Wang Zhe.

His Observation Haki was incredibly powerful; he had already noticed the arrival of the two old men and their incessant arguing not far away. Thinking of this, he decided to teach Wang Zhe a lesson about what it meant to respect one's teacher.

He swung his right fist again, simultaneously imbuing it with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and shouted as he unleashed it.

"You brat, what are you babbling about?"

"Fist-bone clash!" Although the punch was terrifying in its momentum, the old man did not use much strength; it was merely a show of force.

But Wang Zhe, facing this punch, obviously didn't think so. As a veteran "One Piece" fan, how could he not recognize the Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki intertwined, and that shout of "Fist-Bone Clash!" was none other than the skill of the Marine hero Garp.

Although the famous sword, Siming, would not put his life in danger, being saved did not mean he was unharmed, and the pain he would feel would not be reduced in the slightest.

Few people can remain calm in the face of impending pain, and Wang Zhe certainly hasn't reached that level yet. But now he has no strength left to resist it and can only prepare to silently endure it.

As the fist drew ever closer, Wang Zhe was already in tears. "Who is this guy? Even Garp doesn't look like this. I knew I shouldn't have been so cheeky. This old man is serious. I've really messed up."

But as the saying goes, one should not lose face even if one loses the battle. Wang Zhe thought that since he had the famous sword Siming to protect him, it was just a minor fatal wound.

Thinking of this, he decided to give the old man opposite him a little shock and show him what a real man is!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhe endured the soreness and numbness in his hands and tried to swing the famous sword Siming to block the attack.

Just then, a roar resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

"Oda! What are you doing? Stop it right now!"

The sudden roar startled Wang Zhe, making him flinch and slow his movements.

Oda, on the other hand, was unaffected, only slightly reducing the force of his punch. Because Wang Zhe's movements were a beat slower, the punch landed on Wang Zhe's head.

"it hurts!"

As the fist landed, intense pain surged through him, causing Wang Zhe to howl like a wild boar, his screams heart-wrenching. A series of large bumps magically swelled up on his head, and his eyes shimmered as if tears were about to fall at any moment.

"Hahahaha!" Oda burst into laughter as he looked at Wang Zhe's pitiful and aggrieved appearance.

"Baka yarou!" The dark-skinned old man used Moonwalk to arrive above Oda's head and delivered a powerful punch, barely suppressing the smile that was about to burst from his mouth due to excessive excitement, and trying his best to maintain an angry appearance.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

This punch was merciless, driven by deep personal grudges, and Oda even got a bump on his head just like Wang Zhe's.

The intense pain caused Oda to curse, "Kurosaki Ryoto, you bastard, you did that on purpose!"

Looking at the other figure who arrived late, his tone softened slightly, "Kato Kazuki, do you think this guy is a soldier? We've known each other for so many years, why didn't you stop him?"

Kato Kazuki, who arrived at the battlefield at a leisurely pace, sighed and shrugged, saying, "Oda, don't you know how arrogant Ayato is? There's nothing I can do to help him."

Upon hearing the term "soldier," Kurosaki Ryoto's expression grew even angrier, but then, as if remembering something, he quickly regained his composure and spoke in a low voice.

"What kind of soldiers are we now? We're just marginal figures, or even prisoners."

As Kurosaki Ryoto finished speaking, Oda's expression changed slightly, and he slowly lowered his head. "I'm sorry, that man's words deeply moved me. For the future of this world, I had no choice but to do that back then."

Hearing Oda's oft-repeated words, Kurosaki Ryoto's expression became agitated. "But is this really true? What is the secret behind Laugh Tale's existence?"

"Oda! Do you know that all these years, I have never been angry with you because of my current predicament? The beginning of the Great Pirate Era has caused so many lives to be lost! All of this makes me feel like a criminal!" Kurosaki Ryoto's voice suddenly turned into a roar.

Oda lowered his head further and further, as if he wanted to bury it in his chest. "Ryoto, stop asking. I promised that man that I would keep Laugh Tale's secret."

"Believe me, the blood shed on the sea will not be in vain; it will only turn into flames, guiding the destined one!"

At this point, Oda suddenly looked up at Wang Zhe, his eyes filled with hope for the future, and his voice became increasingly passionate.

"And now, that person has appeared! He's more special than I imagined! The power to bring hope to this world resides within him!"

"Young man, tell them your name! Tell them your spirit!"

Wang Zhe, who was still reeling from his own speculation, was awakened by Oda's excited voice. Meeting Oda's burning gaze, he couldn't help but speak.

"My name is Wang Zhe. This world needs to change. The person who will end all of this could be me, or it could be anyone."

"If there is no torch thereafter, I will be the only light."

Before Wang Zhe could continue, several voices rang out simultaneously, clear and loud. Oda, Sikong Zhen, Meng Tian, ​​and the others who had heard the words before all followed his voice and continued reciting.

"If there were a torch, if the sun were to rise, we would naturally and willingly disappear, not only without resentment, but also with joy and praise for that torch or sun; for it shines upon all people, including myself." ×8

As the sound rang out, four streams of Conqueror's Haki emerged from Wang Zhe, Oda, Sikong Zhen, and Meng Tian respectively. This time, there was no collision or confrontation, and it appeared extremely sacred and peaceful, filling everyone present with a ray of hope.

Kurosaki Ryoto and Kato Kazuki seemed stunned, muttering these words over and over, their eyes growing brighter and brighter, before bursting into laughter.

As the four dissipated their Conqueror's Haki, Oda smiled broadly, "Perhaps Wang Zhe isn't the person in the fable, but he will be the light! The torch! The sun of this world!"

At this moment, Kurosaki Ryoto also let go of everything that had happened over the years. He no longer thought about what secrets Laugh Tale held, nor did he dwell on who the destined person Oida had mentioned was. When Wang Zhe appeared, none of that mattered anymore.

The change in his inner state of mind brought a smile to his face, and he extended an invitation to Wang Zhe, "Wang Zhe, you're a really amazing little guy. Would you like to come visit our secret base?"

Wang Zhe, who had already guessed the identities of these three men, readily agreed. Although their names did not appear in the original work, their conversation revealed a lot of information. At least Oda's identity was about to be revealed: he was the man who asked Roger where the One Piece was under the execution platform in Loguetown, and also the one who first proposed the concept of "One Piece"!

After a brief introduction, A, B, C, and D drove the dilapidated Supreme towards a very secluded, nameless island.

Watching Wang Zhe continuously wielding his sword on the deck, Oda smiled with satisfaction and then went to a secluded corner to take out a Den Den Mushi.

"I've met a truly remarkable young man; he's a kendo prodigy, and I think he needs your guidance."

After a long silence, the other end of the Den Den Mushi replied with some surprise, "Oh, a kendo genius? More than that, I'm more interested in what kind of young man has received such high praise from you."

…………

After the two chatted secretly for a while, a hearty laugh came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Hahaha, he is indeed an outstanding young man. I'm coming to find you now."

"See you on Island Zero, and remember to bring your treasured wine."
