The two swords in his hands shattered and flew away.

His cheeks were slashed by a razor blade.

His figure flew backward for more than ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

He rolled around on the ground several times.

Then he lay down on the ground.

Johnny covered his face and looked at Zoro with pity, while Joseph's lips twitched slightly:

"A hothead, but for some reason, he has a kind of passionate feeling."

It reminded him of the days when he and his brothers challenged Thoth in their youth, but the difference was that Zoro was much stronger than they were back then.

However, Brother Toth is much stronger than before.

Cough cough! Cough cough cough!

A series of heavy coughs rang out, and Zoro struggled to his feet from the ground, his pupils trembling, and a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

My body is already at its limit.

"How can they be so strong? How can the gap be so big?"

Zoro asked incredulously, "Can humans really be this strong?"

He gripped the Wado Ichimonji in his hand, but the trembling in his eyes gradually subsided. He took a deep breath, and in an instant, his gaze turned as cold and hard as iron.

"Compared to the world's number one swordsman, who do you think is stronger?"

Thoth looked at him, his eyes calm: "Right now, I have a very low chance of beating him."

Zoro's lips curled into a smile. "So this is how vast the world is, and how arduous the path to becoming the world's number one is."

In an instant, his gaze calmed down: "Is your goal also to become the world's greatest swordsman?"

Thoth tilted his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips: "My goal isn't that narrow. My current goal is to become the strongest in the world."

Not the world's greatest swordsman.

Zoro's gaze wavered for a moment, then he remembered the name of the person in front of him: a weapon master, proficient in many weapon techniques, and the sword alone had defeated his swordsmanship.

He had challenged him as a mere swordsman, a narrow-minded view. He focused his gaze on Thoth:

"This is my last sword strike, a sword strike that risks my life. If you can withstand it, then I will give you my life."

With that, he practiced Iaijutsu.

As Zoro assumed the iaido stance, Thoth saw a fierce and sharp aura emanating from him, with all his energy gradually condensing into the sword.

This strike will surely be unstoppable.

Thoth's eyes were calm as he slowly raised Tyrion, his imposing aura gathering as he watched Zoro's aura reach its peak.

Then it appeared before him in an extremely fast blur. Of course, this was Joseph's perspective; in Thoth's eyes, the speed was far too ordinary.

Watching Zoro draw his sword and swing it with all his might in front of him, *clang*—

The sword tip appeared abruptly and naturally in the middle of the trajectory of his blade's slash.

A ring-shaped airflow burst forth from around the two men in an instant, and pedestrians at the port a hundred meters away were blown backward by the strong wind.

With a flick of his wrist, a strange force traveled along the blade back to Zoro's palm, instantly numbing his hand. Then, he released his Wado Ichimonji, his eyes became lifeless, and his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, with a clang, the crisp sound of Wado Ichimonji hitting the ground rang out.

With a single strike imbued with all his essence and spirit, regardless of whether he achieves any results, his ultimate fate is sealed.

Watching peers fall asleep immediately.

A thoughtful look appeared in Thoth's eyes as he looked at the Wado Ichimonji at his feet. A vine wrapped around it and was quickly thrown into the seawater to wash away the saliva and blood stains on the hilt.

Another vine pulled the scabbard from his waist, and Thoth leaped onto the deck, turning back to look at Joseph:

“Bring him up.”

Joseph chuckled. For some reason, he felt a strong sense of identification with Zoro and greatly admired Zoro's all-out fighting spirit.

He bent down, lifted him up, and jumped onto the deck.

I placed him on a recliner by the cabin wall, pressed my hand against his chest, and felt it; his heartbeat was somewhat weak.

He clearly saw that his energy and spirit had been overexerted.

He then looked up at Thoth, who was wielding the Wado Ichimonji on the deck, a hint of curiosity in his eyes:

"Brother Thoth, what are your plans for Zoro?"

Just then, a vine about the length of a thumb, resembling a ginseng root, flew in front of him. Thoth laughed:

"Crush it and feed him the juice, then go inside and get some water for him to drink."

Upon hearing this, Joseph blinked, his eyebrows slightly raised:

"Okay! I'll go right now."

It seems they'll soon have another new trainee on board!

Wado Ichimonji is not a demon sword. Its nature is like a quiet yet stubborn girl, obedient and docile when held, yet it hides a sharp edge.

As the weapon's color surged and merged into the blade, its sharpness was instantly revealed. With a casual flick of his wrist, he swung a slashing beam into the sky, sharp, swift, and unstoppable.

Thoth gripped the knife, feeling the lifeblood of the Wado Ichimonji, which was accepting his domineering aura without reservation.

Glancing at Zoro lying peacefully on the recliner, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He felt a strange sense of unease, as if he were currently making a mistake.

Online NTR Zoro?

After playing with the Great Grade Sword Wado Ichimonji for a while, Thoth sheathed it and then threw it onto Zoro's stomach.

With a snap, Zoro's body trembled noticeably. Nojiko and the others returned at noon.

Kalina spotted Zoro sleeping soundly on the recliner like an old man. She jogged over and asked curiously:

"What happened to this guy? You beat him so badly he passed out."

Thoth chuckled: "An interesting greenhorn. His eyes, demeanor, and temperament are all quite good. With proper training, he will become a major fighting force on the ship in the future."

Van Augur was surprised; he hadn't expected Thoth to give Zoro such a high evaluation.

Nami called to Johnny, Bages, and the others to unhook the anchor, hoist the sails, and prepare to set sail, while Nojiko went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

……

Lunchtime.

Zoro, who had been moved to the living room, woke up to the smell of food. He sat up and looked blankly at the lively people in the cabin's living room.

His gaze sharpened instantly upon seeing Thoth, and his left hand unconsciously rested on the Wado Ichimonji on his leg.

Looking at Toth, I saw a mixture of emotions: disappointment, resentment, and defiance, but also a hint of admiration.

After a few breaths, his mindset allowed him to accept the fact that he had been defeated.

Thoth gave him a faint smile:

"Your physical condition is good. Since you're awake, come and have a meal. After you've eaten, we can talk about your future plans."

After a few seconds of silence, Zoro took a deep breath and went to the dining table. Thoth pointed to the food on the kitchen stove and smiled:

"Get your own tray and help yourself to whatever you want to eat and how much you want to eat."

Zoro scratched his head, gave Thoth a subtle look, and then did as he was told.

Soon, at the dinner table, they wolfed down their food, just like Bages and the others, enjoying it immensely.

Not long after, Zoro clutched his stomach and let out a long sigh, clearly having enjoyed the meal.

By this time, everyone had finished their meal, and Thoth glanced at him:

"Go wash the dishes, and remember to wash them clean."

Bages chuckled and casually put his hand on Zoro's shoulder:

"Haha! Let's go, kid. This is just one of the daily tasks of being a trainee."

Zoro was helpless and wanted to refute, but he had already eaten his food and was indebted to him, so he had no choice but to go to the kitchen to help wash the pots and pans to repay the favor.

Thoth watched all this unfold, a smile playing on his lips. When Zoro came out after washing the dishes…

Then you see Thoth practicing basic swordsmanship on the deck.

Moreover, Johnny and the others were also practicing their own cultivation, which made a strange ripple appear in his eyes.

He immediately walked to the side, found a place, and began practicing his swordsmanship on his own.

Naturally, he blended into the atmosphere of spiritual practice on the ship.

However, his gaze quickly turned to Thoth's swordplay, for he saw a different and more powerful swordsmanship in Thoth.

The profound application of power, and the harmonious and fulfilling state of being with all things in nature.

Instinctively, he thought of the knowledge that his teacher, Koushirou, had imparted to him.

Is it the breathing of all things?

Zoro gradually became engrossed in watching.

Two hours later in the blink of an eye.

As Thoth stopped moving, Zoro noticed and immediately asked:

"You didn't take my life, but instead brought me onto the ship. What is your purpose?"

Zoro's gaze sharpened, as if trying to see through Thoth. Thoth smiled.

"How's the atmosphere on this ship?"

Thoth's answer was irrelevant, and Zoro's expression faltered slightly, but he still truthfully stated what he had observed:

"They are very strong, all of them are very strong, and they have a great passion for cultivation, which gives me the motivation to keep moving forward without daring to slack off in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Thoth's lips curved slightly. "You're terrible with directions, and you're all alone. Instead of wandering around the sea like a headless fly... come aboard my ship!"

Here, you can become stronger faster, and once you become a full crew member, you will have access to an unlimited supply of various training materials provided by me.

Board my ship, and you'll have countless opportunities to fight against powerful opponents in the future.

"You're driven by your ambition, and I like you for who you are, Zoro. Will you become our ally?"

Zoro remained silent, but his gaze was fixed intently on Thoth. "My goal in setting sail is to become the world's greatest swordsman."

Any opponent who blocks my path is my enemy, and I must defeat them all.

And you want to become the strongest in the world.

But in my heart, you are the swordsman who made me taste defeat, so you are also my goal.

Do you dare to let someone who wants to beat you up anytime, anywhere board your ship?

Aren't you afraid I'll defeat you and make you lose face?

Upon hearing this, Thoth burst into laughter:

"Then you should definitely get on my ship. I'm always ready to take on any challenge you may have."

Not only that, but anything you want to learn, and anything I know, I can teach you.

Upon hearing this, Zoro's eyes narrowed sharply, and he couldn't help but speak:

Aren't you afraid at all?

Toth's smile grew even brighter, but a hint of wild arrogance also surfaced in his eyes:

"You think you're the only one with goals?"

"If you're so capable, then come and try. If you can really surpass me, then it'll be my turn to learn from you."

Thoth doesn't seem to be faking it, nor does he appear to be hypocritical.

Zoro smiled slightly: "I'll remember what you said. Now, I'm boarding your ship."

Captain!
