Pirates: I started as a navy captain, I became stronger by slacking off

After hearing the voice, Zoro immediately looked in the direction of the woods, and his pupils shrank into a dot in an instant.

He was so familiar with this face!

Although Carl had many titles, Zoro only remembered one, the Navy Great Swordsman.

A few years ago, he fought with the world's greatest swordsman at the Seven Waters City Shipwreck Island in the first half of the Grand Line. That time, he injured Hawkeye.

So far, Zoro has remembered this man in his heart, and Carl has become his imaginary enemy.

As time passed, Carl's reputation became more and more famous. With his superb swordsmanship, he became famous in the sea, defeated countless pirates, and became a veritable great swordsman.

Especially the sword in his hand.

Needless to say, the black sword Autumn Water, which was originally a great sword, was a great sword that had long been registered in the famous sword illustrations.

The focus is the Raven and Thunderstorm in his hand.

Thunderstorm, a demon sword, originally had no grade, but because of Carl, it was directly listed in the famous sword illustrations and became the most famous demon sword besides the Kitetsu series.

Devil Fruit Weapon Raven, the prototype is the first generation of Kitetsu, the supreme sword 12-gong. Because Carl often uses it, its fame has risen sharply and it has been promoted to the ranks of supreme swords.

"You, you are the great swordsman of the navy, Carl!!!"

Carl, wearing a black suit and carrying a cloak of justice, slowly walked out of the woods and smiled at Zoro, who was wet all over: "Do you know me?"

Zoro grinned: "Why don't you know me, you are one of the men I am destined to defeat!"

After speaking, Zoro's face changed. It's not good. Today, I only brought a training sword, not the Wado Ichimonji. How can I challenge Carl?

"Oh? Just you? You don't think you can beat me after practicing swordsmanship for a few years?"

Hearing this, Zoro shouted to Carl with great momentum: "How do you know if you don't try?"

But soon, Zoro's momentum disappeared without a trace, and he said awkwardly: "Well, I didn't bring my sword. How about you wait here for a while, I'll go back to get the sword!"

Carl's eyes showed a strange look. Did he hear it right just now?

Zoro actually wants to go back to get the sword, and then come to find him? Isn't he afraid of getting lost?

But it shouldn't be, right? This place is not very big, Zoro has been here for so long, this distance should not be... lost.

"Young man, it's not a good thing to be too ambitious. If you want to challenge me..."

Carl instantly drew out the Raven, swung his backhand, and a huge golden flying slash swept to the back.

Swish, swish, swish~

Countless trees were cut in half, and with a deafening roar, the trees fell down, and the view became wider instantly.

"When you can do this, come to me again!"

"You are now... forget it!"

Zoro stared blankly at the forest cleared by Carl, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Isn't this the power and swordsmanship that he has been pursuing?

Is this the great swordsman?

Zoro's eyes became sharp instantly, holding the training knife tightly, his whole body trembling slightly, and looking at Carl without saying a word.

"Three Swords Style·Zoro, come on!!!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zoro got ready and rushed towards Carl. This momentum was like a tiger.

Carl shook his head helplessly, took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and disappeared from the spot with a whoosh when Zoro was about to approach.

"What?"

Zoro was shocked, chopped and looked back at Carl in disbelief.

"I said, you are too slow, I don't like bullying children."

"Don't look down on me, draw your sword, fight me!"

Carl exhaled a smoke ring lightly, and his momentum changed instantly, and a suffocating sense of oppression attacked Zoro.

Zoro suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and an inexplicable impulse to kneel down and surrender emerged in his heart, because only in this way could he save his life.

Crack, crack~

Zoro's teeth were clattering, and he tried his best to resist Carl's momentum suppression, but soon, Carl's momentum disappeared without a trace, and Zoro suddenly felt his body loosen and let out a sharp gasp.

"Young man, are you sure you want to fight me? You should know what the consequences of a swordsman's defeat are, right?"

Hu, hu~

After a breath, Zoro's breath gradually became stable. He grinned, took off the black belt from his waist, tied it on his head, and looked at Carl with "greed" eyes.

"Hehe, the moment I decided to become a swordsman, I was ready."

While speaking, Zoro carried the two training swords on his back, forming a tic-tac-toe shape with the knife in his mouth.

"Three Swords Style·Tiger Hunting!"

Although the name is Tiger Hunting, Carl is notThere was no sense of the tiger's hunting momentum. If there was any, it was Zoro's eyes.

To be honest, Zoro's speed was not fast, at least in Carl's opinion, which meant that Carl had plenty of time to crack his moves, but there was no need to do so.

Carl was mainly thinking about what knife he should use to play with Zoro.

Raven, Autumn Water, and Thunderstorm are not very good. Using this is just bullying. I didn't bring a nail clipper or a fruit knife. Wait!

Carl looked at the cigar in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

Armament Haki·Hardening.

The dark brown cigar suddenly turned black, with a metallic luster, but the only drawback was that the cigar was extinguished.

Looking at the attacking Zoro, Carl held the cigar and drew an arc lightly.

Click~

The three broken wooden blades flew into the sky, and Zoro, holding the broken knife, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

With a thud, Zoro fell flat on his face.

"I told you that you are too weak now. I am not interested in you. Besides, even if you really want to fight me, you should use a real sword, right?"

"Isn't it a bit too contemptuous to use a training sword?"

Zoro: Then why do you still use a cigar?

Zoro, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fist unwillingly. He scratched the ground with his fingers, and you can imagine how hard Zoro tried.

Why, he has been training himself with the highest requirements and honing himself with the goal of becoming the world's greatest swordsman, but in front of Carl, even touching him is a luxury?

At an angle that Carl couldn't see, Zoro's eyes turned red, tears flowed down his cheeks, dripped on the ground, and splashed dust.

Kuina, can I really become the world's greatest swordsman?

In a trance, Zoro seemed to hear the answer...

Yes! He can, but he can't give up. He is still young and can't give up on himself. It must be that he hasn't worked hard enough. His training is far from reaching the highest requirements. His...

But... he has failed. A defeated swordsman has only one ending.
