Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

When Kuina died and Zoro took over the Wado Ichimonji from Koshiro...

[Zoro, who was still a young boy at the time, cried out with tears in his eyes: "I will work hard with her as well! I will become the world's greatest swordsman, and I will let my name resound throughout the heavens!!!"]

[“Tiger Hunting!!——”]

Zoro pounced forward like a tiger, raising the two swords in his hands high and slashing down with a bang as if he were hunting a tiger!

[Puff! ——]

[The cross knife pierced into Zoro's chest, instantly blocking all of Zoro's strength! ]

[His hands drooped limply, his legs trembling~~]

But he didn't retreat even a single step.

[Hawk Eyes' pupils condensed slightly: "Why don't you retreat?"]

Hawkeye didn't take this attack too seriously. He simply picked out one of the opponent's thousands of weaknesses and counterattacked him.

【Based on his understanding of Zoro's strength, Zoro has every chance of avoiding being pierced through the chest by retreating! 】

So he was a little confused. Why did this guy, who clearly had the opportunity to avoid it, still rush forward without hesitation?

[“Heh…, who knows…?”]

Zoro laughed bitterly, "It feels like if I take a step back, many important vows and things will be ruined, and I'll never be able to return to this place..."

Hawkeye nodded, "Yes, this is failure."

"Hehe... Yeah, then I can't retreat! It's better to die!"

[Zoro leans forward, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit! ! ! ]

"Rather than failure, I'd rather die! That's a good resolution!"

Hawkeye drew his cross knife, his sharp eyes gleaming with admiration. "It's been ages since I've encountered a strong opponent... Tell me your name!"

"Roronoa Zoro!"

[Speaking his name aloud, Zoro mustered his last bit of strength and thrust his hands forward, forming a triangular cone with his three swords!]

"Very good! I'll remember that!"

"Then, I will use the etiquette of a swordsman and end you with this world's strongest black sword!"

[While speaking, Hawkeye raised his right hand, reached over his head, and grabbed the hilt of the sword behind him.]

[Clang! !——]

[Black Blade Night... Unsheathed!!!]

Kira: "Pull it out!!!"

Xiliu: "A swordsman of this caliber is actually worthy of Hawkeye drawing his black sword?"

Capone Becky: "Did I hear correctly? He was completely powerless in front of Hawkeye, and Hawkeye actually called him a strong man???"

Trafalgar Law: "That should be a kind of recognition, right???"

Shanks: "In terms of his state of mind, he truly deserves the title 'strong'."

[The moment Hawkeye pulled out the Black Blade, the surrounding pirates were all frightened and hurriedly retreated~~~~]

[Zoro endured the severe pain in his chest and stomped his feet! !]

"This attack... failure means death, right...? So... World number one, die...!!!"

[“Three Sword Style Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds!!——”]

[The three swords spun rapidly, and Zoro charged forward! ! ! ]

Seeing this move, Hawkeye's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly surprised.

【but......】

【brush!!--】

[When the two figures crossed, there was a clanging sound, and blade fragments flew all over the sky! ! !]

[The black sword, Yoruichi, slashed through, severing the two swords in Zoro's left and right hands, and at the same time slashed through his waist! ! ! ]

[Hawkeye landed his strike and turned to look at Zoro.]

[Zoro was struck by a slash and knew he was completely defeated!!!]

[Why did he stop struggling pointlessly and simply let go of the broken blade handle in his hand?]

[With his left hand, he drew out the scabbard from his waist, and with his right hand, he grasped the handle of the Wado Ichimonji sword~~~]

【Clang! !】

[The Wado Ichimonji is sheathed in front of him! ! ! ]

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around, holding the Wado Ichimonji's scabbard, and opened his arms!

This action made Hawkeye stunned.

He frowned and asked, "What for?"

Zoro smiled faintly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "A wound on the back is a swordsman's shame!"

[As soon as these words were spoken, a smile appeared on Hawkeye's face.]

“Well said.”

[The black knife slashes down with a loud bang at night! ! ! ]

Bartolomeo: "Zoro-senpai is so handsome!!"

Ever since he saw Luffy's style in Rogue Town, Bartolomeo has become a complete fan of Luffy.

He is not only a fan of Luffy, but also the crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates~~~

Dauberman: "A swordsman who disregards even life and death is a ruthless man...!"

Edward Newgate: "A wound on the back is a swordsman's shame... Gulala! This kid... it's a shame we met too late!! Otherwise, I would have made him my son!!"

Whitebeard really likes this sentence!

Because his philosophy is the same as Zoro's, that is, he will never retreat even a single step in the face of battle!!!

If you don't retreat, you won't run away~~~

If you don't run away, there will be no wounds on your back!!!

Of course....., sneak attacks are not included in this discussion!!!

Tony Tony Chopper: "Wow, Zoro actually has such a brutal battle? So scary..."

Franky: "This guy never mentioned this to us!!"

Nico Robin: "You are worthy of being the toughest man in our Straw Hat Pirates~~~"

Shanks: "I see... Hawkeye, I finally understand why you think so highly of him. If I were you, I'd be optimistic about him too!"

[When Usopp, John, and Johnny pulled Zoro out of the sea and brought him aboard...]

Hawkeye stood proudly, looking at Zoro, and said in a deep voice: "It's not time for you to die yet! Remember, my name is Joracle Mihawk!"

"Know yourself, know the world! Try to surpass this sword with your strength and tenacity!"

"Try to surpass me, Roronoa Zoro!!!"

"I'll be waiting for you on the throne of the world's greatest swordsman!"

When these words were spoken, the entire chat room was shocked! ! ! !

Izo: "This is... the world's greatest swordsman personally certified someone worthy of taking his throne???"

Ambrio Ivankov: "Wow!! To be recognized like that by Hawkeye! Straw Hat Boy, your partner is incredible~~~~ Hee Ha!!"

Vista: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that even a great swordsman like me has probably never been considered by Hawkeye as a candidate to challenge his throne..."

Jhin: "That guy's swordsmanship is already superb. In terms of swordsmanship alone, there's no one better in this ocean! Is he trying to train a new great swordsman to rival him?"

Shanks: "Damn it... Hawkeye, why didn't you say you were waiting for me to take your title as the greatest swordsman?"

Shanks' overall strength is definitely stronger than Mihawk's.

This is beyond doubt!

But in terms of swordsmanship alone, he is indeed slightly inferior to Mihawk~~~

Djoracle Mihawk: "Roronoa Zoro! This was originally just an agreement between you and me. Even if you can't do it, it won't affect me! But now, this matter has become known to everyone! This is related to my vision. Please don't let me down..."

Roronoa Zoro: "When we meet again, I will keep my promise!!!"

Monkey D. Luffy: "I will!"

Shanks: "Ahahaha~~"

East China Sea, Shimotsuki Village~~~

"Teacher, Brother Zoro is so amazing! He actually received such recognition from the world's greatest swordsman!!"

"Senior Brother Zoro is too strong!!"

"We must learn from Brother Zoro!"

...

Amid the cheers of a group of young swordsmen apprentices, Koshiro sat cross-legged and looked up at the sky. Beneath his round glasses, his eyes were filled with kindness.

【Hawkeye left...】

【Luffy defeated Creek and settled the matter of Barati, the sea restaurant. 】

Sanji finally decided to join the Straw Hat Pirates and set off with Luffy.

Here we are~~~

The white-bordered screen gradually dimmed...

Not long~~~

The red-bordered screen gradually lit up...

[The Merry left the village of Xiluobu and sailed on the sea.]

"Should you have told me earlier! If I had known you were so kind in inviting me to be your captain, I wouldn't have been able to resist!!"

【Listening to Luffy's explanation, Usopp was overjoyed. 】

Zoro frowned. "Hey! Did Luffy's Conqueror's Haki shock your brain? When did we ever say we'd let you be the captain?"

"Ah! I mean... I can be your captain!" Usopp pointed at himself with his thumb and winked.

"You're dreaming!"

Zoro curled his lips, then pointed at Luffy next to him, "Look carefully, our captain can only be this guy!!"

"Damn it! You tied me up and then refused to let me be captain? What's the logic behind this!?" Usopp clenched his fist and waved it.

"You really want to be a captain, don't you?"

[Luffy asked, seeing Usopp being very persistent with the Captain.]

Usopp's eyes widened with excitement: "Of course! Are you going to agree to this?"

【Bang! 】

[Luffy unleashes his Conqueror's Haki, and Usopp falls cleanly to the ground...]

Usopp: "Hiss!!! Damn Red Luffy, why did you hit me like that!!!"

Nami: "Ahahaha!!"
