One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Zoro was in so much pain that tears were about to stream down his face.

what happened?

After a brief moment of confusion, Zoro began to recall what had happened before he lost consciousness.

That is--

One finger?

The boy with the green algae-like hair suddenly changed his expression.

"How could it be just one finger??"

I defeated him with just one finger!

"Zoro, are you awake?"

The door to the room was opened, and the teacher, Koushirou, slowly walked in.

"Teacher Koushirou—"

Zoro's expression changed slightly.

Koushirou-sensei strictly forbade them from getting close to pirates.

He and Guina both sneaked away secretly.

"Don't act recklessly again next time."

Koushirou sat on the edge of the bed and gently rubbed Zoro's head.

When Ian brought the two kids back, he was really startled.

He was very busy these past few days, helping his elderly father repair Hawkeye's sword, and didn't have time to keep an eye on the two little devils.

Despite his repeated warnings, the two kids still went to challenge Hawkeye.

He didn't even fight Hawkeye, but instead clashed with Ian.

but.

"Koushirou-sensei, who exactly is that guy?"

Zoro was curious, "They don't look that much older than us."

"Ian?"

Koushirou paused, and couldn't help but sigh, "He is a great pirate from the Grand Line, the second-in-command of the world's strongest pirate crew."

"Probably in a few years, he will be the strongest person in the world."

"The strongest?"

Zoro's eyes widened in shock. "Will he become even stronger than Mihawk?"

Koushirou gave Zoro a deep look. "No need to change, you're already stronger than Mihawk."

To be able to damage the sword in the hands of a great swordsman like Hawkeye to that extent, his victory in the battle against Hawkeye was inevitable.

"what?"

Zoro was so shocked that he stood up abruptly.

But if Ian were here, he would probably be speechless.

You won't listen to me, huh? Didn't I already say before that you're stronger than Hawkeye?

"Even stronger than Hawkeye!"

Zoro looked shocked.

"His world is too far removed from yours,"

Koushirou said earnestly, "Don't go near them, Zoro, it's dangerous."

Zoro didn't say anything, he was just completely shocked.

"correct,"

Koushirou stood up. "Go see Kuina, Zoro. She's suffered a great blow."

"Eh?"

Zoro was taken aback for a moment, then immediately jumped out of bed. "I'll go right now!"

He found Kuina curled up on the ground, hugging her legs, under a tree in the backyard.

"Hey! Kuina!"

The boy with the green hair was beaming with excitement, "Koushirou-sensei said that guy is even stronger than Hawkeye! He's even stronger than the strongest swordsman! There really is such a powerful guy in the world—"

The next moment, he froze.

The girl raised her head.

Zoro stared blankly at her, suddenly at a loss for words. "Kuina, you, you're crying?"

Tears streamed down the girl's face, glistening in the moonlight, and she was immersed in a broken atmosphere.

"Zoro, you're way behind."

The girl said.

"what?"

Zoro tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

"He's far inferior to me."

Kuina placed her hand on her chest. "He's only fifteen, five years older than me, but our strengths are worlds apart."

Will I ever reach that level in my lifetime?

Guina didn't know.

All she knew was that, given her current rate of growth, she probably still wouldn't be able to defeat even a single finger of that man by the time she turned fifteen.

In fact, Zoro is getting stronger at an accelerated pace.

If things continue like this, he will surpass me in no more than a year or two.

Is there really such a big difference between men and women?

The girl asked, unwilling to accept the situation.

"What are you saying, Kuina!"

Zoro was puzzled. "What do you mean by man or woman? Strength is strength. If you're not satisfied, then work hard to become stronger!"

Kuina shook her head and said to herself, "Indeed, you wouldn't understand, Zoro, who's so single-minded. There are insurmountable barriers in this world."

The difference in talent.

The difference in physical fitness between men and women.

I, who was defeated by that man with a single finger, will probably never become the strongest!

"Ugh! I don't understand!!"

Zoro suddenly shouted.

Even Kuina was stunned, only to see Zoro stride into the dojo.

Then he quickly returned carrying three knives.

Kuina caught the Wado Ichimonji that Zoro threw to her in a daze, then Zoro grabbed her hand, yanked her up from the ground, and dragged her out of the yard.

"Zoro, what are you doing?"

Guina was puzzled.

"I don't know what's wrong with you!"

Zoro, looking menacing, led Kuina toward the beach. "But it must be because of that guy, right? Let's go! Let's challenge him again!"

Kuina stopped in her tracks; she was stronger than Zoro and managed to pull him to a halt.

"Try it again?"

Kuina shook her head with a wry smile, "Don't you understand, Zoro? We're far too inferior! We're far too far behind him! How could we possibly beat him!"

Zoro turned around in surprise, "Just because you can't beat them doesn't mean you can't fight them."

Guina was taken aback.

"Who cares!"

Zoro angrily exerted his strength, dragging the girl forward, shouting, "I haven't given up yet! As long as I haven't given up, I haven't lost!"

"If one knife can't win, then two knives! If two knives can't win, then three knives!"

"Zoron..."

Kuina had no strength left to resist and let the boy drag her forward. She just stared in astonishment at Zoro's back.

But Zoro, is it a problem with the number of swords?

Not far behind them, under the moonlight, Koushirou quietly watched their retreating figures.

He sighed softly.

There's just no way to deal with these two kids.

The two children rushed all the way to the dock and to the side of the Golden Dragon. Zoro did not hesitate and went straight for the lowered stairs.

Hey! Kids!

The pirates guarding the Golden Dragon stopped them. "Can't you see us? Go back! This isn't a place for you to play!"

"Let them come up."

At that moment, Luo's voice came from above the stairs. He looked down at the two kids and said calmly, "This is Ian's idea."

"Yes, Lord Luo!"

The pirates immediately made way.

However, he didn't forget to give a warning, "Once you're on the Golden Dragon, you brats, behave yourselves! You're in front of Lord Ian!"
