One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Zoro completely ignored him and simply dragged Kuina onto the deck of the large ship.

A banquet seemed to be taking place on the deck, with a group of people eating and drinking around a large table.

"Oh,"

Zoro saw the guy who had defeated them with a single finger, and he was now beckoning to them, "Want to come to the party?"

"Come and fight us!"

Zoro released Kuina and strode towards Ian, drawing his twin swords from his waist. "I'm stronger now than I was this afternoon!"

Even stronger?

Ian wiped his mouth.

Does this mean that the one-sword style has been upgraded to the two-sword style?

"Hahahahaha!"

A burst of cheerful laughter erupted on the deck.

The pirates were all laughing.

"This brat, he said he wants to challenge Lord Ian?"

How incredibly arrogant and ignorant they are!

Even the usually serious guys like Jack Drake couldn't help but laugh.

Black Maria smiled and said, "Child, you never know how vast the world is."

This kid is just an ordinary brat you can see anywhere. At most, he knows some swordsmanship, but he's nowhere near a true talent.

Not to mention Ian, even Sanji and Ulti, who stayed in Wano Country, are far stronger than him.

It is still much, much stronger.

but.

But some people didn't laugh.

Hancock glared angrily at Zoro.

Therefore, Ian's enemy is her enemy.

And Yamato.

"Oh! This kid,"

She nudged Ian, who was sitting next to her, with her elbow and said with interest, "It's quite interesting."

Ian's lips curled slightly as he said leisurely, "I thought I had already shown the difference between us thoroughly this afternoon."

"so what!"

Zoro shouted, "Just because you're strong! Incredibly strong, does that mean I have to admit defeat? Can't I even think about surpassing you?"

silence.

For a moment, the deck fell silent.

"Zoro—"

Kuina stared blankly at Zoro's retreating figure.

His hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the scabbard of Wado Ichimonji.

"I'd rather say, it's wonderful to have met you!"

Zoro beamed with a bright smile, "I finally know just how vast the world truly is!!"

"This kid—"

Jack couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How could someone say something like that!"

Even after I'd witnessed a bit of Ian's power!

"is it?"

Ian nodded slightly, sat up straight, and said seriously, "Even if it means dying?"

hum!

An invisible spirit is stirring.

An immense pressure instantly struck Zoro, causing his small body to fall to the ground, making him feel as if his body was about to be crushed.

"Zoron!!"

Kuina screamed and stepped forward.

"Don't come any closer! Kuina!"

Zoro shouted, "The duel has begun! This is my duel with him!"

Never admit defeat!

This is the only thing Zoro learned in his thousands of battles with Kuina.

It's not that I'm unwilling to admit defeat, it's just that I'm unwilling to accept my own weakness.

If we back down, all our perseverance so far will have been in vain!

How can we admit defeat?

You must keep getting stronger and stronger until you surpass your opponents!

The previous target was Kuina, but now—

He struggled to lift his head, staring intently at Ian. "Death doesn't matter! I will become stronger! Stronger than anyone else!!"

The overwhelming momentum suddenly dissipated.

Zoro immediately began to gasp for breath.

I thought I was going to suffocate.

"Boy, tell me your name."

A cold voice sounded.

Zoro was taken aback. He suddenly flipped himself up and looked at the man who had spoken.

The man with the sharp, hawk-like eyes was staring at him.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Zoro's face. "Zoro! Roronoa Zoro!"

The world's greatest swordsman is asking for his name!

No matter how strong his will was, he was still just a child under nine years old.

"Roronoa Zoro..."

Hawkeye nodded slightly, indicating that he had memorized it.

Interesting people can emerge even in rural areas.

Although he is still young, judging from the willpower he has shown so far, his future will not be ordinary.

"how about you?"

He looked at Guina, who still seemed somewhat bewildered.

Guina was stunned.

Ian chuckled.

The biggest difference between Kuina and Zoro, besides their innate talent, lies more in their purity of character.

In this world, the physical differences between men and women are indeed enormous.

Even Yamato inherited Guy's monster bloodline, and with the added power of the Mythical Zoan, he achieved his current strength.

Hancock is also a mutated individual of Kuja.

However, this is not a reason to waver.

Is there really not much difference between the physical abilities of an ordinary person like Red-Haired Roger and a natural monster like Ms. Kai and Charlotte Linlin?

Unwavering conviction is strength; hesitation only invites defeat.

In this world, simple people often become stronger, whether they are simply good or simply bad.

Zoro is convinced of the importance of becoming stronger, but Kuina is not.

But you can't really blame her for this.

Who told her to have such an old-fashioned father?

What could Guina do when she was constantly told that women were inferior to men? Naturally, she could only accept the influence gradually.

Equal rights advocate Ian is furious!

"Kuina!!"

Zoro shouted, "I'll become stronger than anyone! Stronger than Mihawk, stronger than this guy! Are you just going to stand by and watch?"

Kid, you've got some nerve!

Ian's lips twitched. Being better than Hawkeye is one thing, but according to the original work, you are definitely going to surpass him.

But isn't it a bit of a pipe dream to think you can become stronger than me?

Kuina's body trembled.

Yeah, are we just going to watch Zoro become stronger than us?

She'll accept anything else, but this is the one thing she absolutely will not accept!

"Don't even think about it!"

Kuina declared loudly, "I am the one who will become the strongest swordsman! I will become stronger than anyone else!"

Zoro immediately beamed with joy, "This is the real Kuina!"

"Humph."

The girl blushed slightly and gave a haughty snort.
