One Piece: Starting with just a sword, the crew relies entirely on slashing.

The golden, transparent sphere emitted an increasingly intense light in Charlotte's hand. Before Wang Zhe could take it, the golden, transparent sphere flew towards him and hovered in front of him.

Before Wang Zhe could react, the golden, transparent sphere suddenly dispersed, and endless light enveloped Wang Zhe, forming a cocoon of light. Within the cocoon, wisps of power were surging towards Wang Zhe's body.

Inside the cocoon of light, Wang Zhe felt as if every pore on his body had been opened. Although he could feel power constantly flowing into his body, he did not feel any enhancement in himself.

As time slowly passed, he suddenly felt an itch on his forehead, as if something was about to appear. This startled him greatly, and he panicked terrified that he might open a third eye. If it were Yang Jian's Root Eye, that would be fine, but this time the gift was from Charlotte! Who knew if this was Charlotte's prank? What if another shrimp vein appeared next? How was he supposed to live then?

Just as Wang Zhe was about to ask Charlotte what was going on, a burning sensation gradually appeared on his forehead. Wang Zhe felt his head getting heavier and heavier, like he had a high fever, which made him dizzy. After struggling for a while, he finally couldn't resist and fainted.

"Stay away from art based solely on fantasies and wars fueled by a thirst for killing. When you attain enlightenment, the glory brought by the sword will surely resound throughout the world!"

In the last moment before Wang Zhe regained consciousness, Charlotte's admonition reached his ears.

The next morning, Wang Zhe woke up leisurely, as if he had taken a long nap and had a long dream. In the dream, he first learned swordsmanship from several familiar figures, and after an unknown amount of time, he saw a vision of the future.

In the revelation about his future destiny, he saw the coming of the end of the world, and after the near collapse, perhaps a new beginning.

At this moment, Wang Zhe seemed to have grown a lot. He walked to the mirror in the room and looked at his own appearance. His eyes no longer revealed clarity and innocence, but a sharp light, and a golden sword pattern appeared on his forehead.

Charlotte's gift to him was strange. The swordsmanship he learned in his dream did not immediately improve his strength, and even made him feel a little confused. The subsequent visions of the future made him feel that this world was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

"If that's the case, what is the meaning of my existence?" Wang Zhe murmured to himself.

The door was suddenly opened, and Charlotte, Sikong Zhen, and others walked in, followed by Shimotsuki Koushirou and Nagri.

Wang Zhe turned around and looked at the group. He suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were too naive. He used to be able to show no mercy to his enemies with his youthful spirit, but the scene in his dream told him that he could not accept the departure of the people around him.

As if noticing a hint of confusion emerging in Wang Zhe's eyes, Sikong Zhen said calmly, "Never hesitate. Stand at the highest point and see the whole picture."

Shimotsuki Koshiro was also somewhat angry at this moment. Although he could sense the growth of Wang Zhe's character, he could also see that Wang Zhe had lost his former spirit, which he did not understand.

"Wang Zhe, what happened?! I don't believe you can't accept the defeat against Hawkeye and have turned into this."

Sikong Zhen's words suddenly made Wang Zhe realize that even if the ending was already predetermined, it was still something that hadn't happened yet. Now that he realized his mistake, the future would be different. He put aside the bad thoughts in his mind and showed a bright smile, "Don't worry, everyone, this time it will definitely be different."

He then looked at Shimotsuki Koshiro and said, "Master, don't worry. I knew the gap between me and Hawkeye all along. I just feel out of place in this world."

Shimotsuki Koshiro naturally didn't know that Wang Zhe didn't belong to this world, but seeing that Wang Zhe had cheered up a bit, he jokingly said with a smile, "Actually, your fight with Hawkeye is like a child fighting an adult, there's just too much of a difference."

Wang Zhe's lips twitched. "Master, is this how you comfort your disciple?" He briefly recalled his battle with Hawkeye and asked with some confusion, "Master, what level am I at on this vast ocean right now?"

After thinking for a moment, Shimotsuki Koshiro said calmly, "You are special, but this sea is magical. It has all sorts of Devil Fruit abilities and Haki. Your power subtly counters Haki, but if you encounter a Devil Fruit user, you will be at a great disadvantage."

"So if you want to become stronger, work hard to adapt to this environment. You can't slack off in your training. As for your swordsmanship, perhaps I misled you before. The mighty sword doesn't have a complete definition; it's just a kind of momentum. You need to understand why you kill and what you want to protect. Go and see more of this world."

Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't directly answer Wang Zhe's question, but instead pointed out their group's shortcomings and offered some suggestions. Wang Zhe naturally didn't press further. Recalling the scene from his dream, he decided to return to his original aspirations: freedom and to pursue his own path of swordsmanship along the way.

At that moment, he felt as if he had broken free of shackles, lost all burdens, and felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy. Wang Zhe's gaze swept over everyone in the room, and he suddenly felt a sense of connection; at least he wasn't alone.

Wang Zhe's gaze grew increasingly resolute. "We will definitely be the freest. Let's go see the world together, grow into the strongest, and break free from so-called destiny."

Sikong Zhen clenched his fist, very pleased that Wang Zhe had rediscovered his original aspirations. "Only by witnessing destruction can we see rebirth. Our destiny must be in our own hands."

Meng Tian didn't say much, but he was secretly happy about Wang Zhe's growth.

Seeing that Wang Zhe was not confused by the visions of the future, Charlotte brandished her sword and said firmly, "Even if the tide of fate is unstoppable, my answer is: Forward!"

The sudden burst of energy from Wang Zhe and his group caught Shimotsuki Koshiro and Nagorri off guard.

"What's wrong with you guys? These young people these days are really hard to understand," Nagli asked, genuinely puzzled.

Wang Zhe smiled and looked at Nagli, "That's just like you were when you were young, Grandpa, having things you cherish and dreams you pursue."

"Hahaha, good, good, that's more like a young person!" Nagli laughed heartily, saying "good" three times in a row.

After a brief conversation, Wang Zhe prepared to embark on his adventure and explore the world. At the Cocoyasi Village dock, Shimotsuki Koushirou and Nagri watched them depart, whispering to each other.

"Fate may indeed change because of them."

"I don't care about any of that, but the ocean is going to be much more interesting in the future."

The two had different ideas, but they both knew one thing in common: Wang Zhe's future was bound to be very exciting.
