Pirates: The Strongest Justice

"It's been a long time since I've seen Kuina, and I don't know if she still remembers me."

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Atlas felt a little emotional.

The island where Shimotsuki Village is located is very large, but because of the Koshiro Dojo, Shimotsuki Village is famous in the surrounding area. The entrance of Shimotsuki Village is very close to the coast, but Koshiro's Isshin Dojo is located in the center of the village, so It's a little far away from where the warship is docked.

Atlas did not let other Marines follow him, including Smoker who looked curious. This was just a private meeting and there was no need for such a big battle.

"Hey! Marine over there, are you a swordsman?"

Just as Atlas was about to walk towards Shimotsuki Village, a childish voice stopped him.

"That's right, little brother, what do you want from me?"

The corners of Atlas's mouth formed an intriguing look, and his eyes moved accordingly.

A child with algae-green hair, a grass root in his mouth, and a stubborn expression appeared in front of him. He looked like he was only 7 years old, but he showed no fear when facing this stranger.

"Kid, are you lost? I just saw you wandering around that place."

Atlas knelt down and touched the child's algae-green hair, while pointing at the woods not far away.

As soon as he arrived on the island, he had already released a small part of his knowledge, so he had already seen Zoro who had been wandering in the forest. Yes, this guy was Zoro.

I don't know if he is a resident near Shimotsuki Village, but he probably hasn't strayed to Koshiro's Isshin Dojo yet. This can be inferred from the fact that there are no calluses on his hands from practicing swordsmanship.

"I'm not lost!"

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm young. I'm here to challenge you!" Zoro took Atlas's ravaging palm away from his head and shouted angrily, "Win. If you do, I will take the knife in your hand. If you lose..."

Zoro looked at the Third Generation Kitetsu on Atlas's waist, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity for some reason.

"What happens if we lose?"

Looking at Zoro with a stubborn look on his face, Atlas suddenly became playful.

Originally, the first thing I did when I came to Shimotsuki Village this time was to see Kuina, see if I could meet Zoro, and then find a way to kidnap this guy to Marine.

For Zoro, there is actually no difference between being a marine and being a pirate. He is even more inclined to be a marine. During the most embarrassing period when he first went to sea, he did not have the desire to become a pirate and rob, especially when he was in Sabaody. Frankly speaking, this is an island that smells disgusting. If he hadn't met Luffy, he would probably still be a pirate hunter.

In general, Zoro is a person with a normal moral bottom line and a clear sense of right and wrong, good and evil, and his goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman. Joining Marine is the most suitable person.

"If you lose...if you lose, I'll let you do whatever you want!"

Zoro looked at Atlas with a smirk on his face, and for some reason he had a premonition that he was about to fall into a den of thieves, but he was stubborn and had no intention of backing down.

"Oh, is it so……"

Atlas rubbed his chin nonchalantly and looked at Zoro with interest, who kept concealing his nervousness.

"Of course, I will do what I say!"

"Okay, I just don't have any weapons right now, so I'll make some for you."

Uh-huh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Atlas disappeared in front of Zoro. Even if he looked around, he could only hear roars and... panicked sounds of birds and beasts in the forest not far away.

"No! I made a lot of them, you can take your time and choose!"

Wow!

Before Zoro could react, a pile of wooden swords of various shapes were placed in front of him, almost higher than his head.

So fast?

Zoro couldn't help but swallow secretly, but still didn't give up the idea of ​​challenging Atlas.

"Uh...uh uh..."

Zoro grabbed the wooden knife on the ground. There were several in his hand and several in his mouth.

Aren’t the more weapons the more powerful they are? This is the truest thought of young Zoro.

"My Majesty Roronoa Zoro! Please advise!"

Wow!

As soon as he spoke, the sword in his mouth immediately fell down like running water.

Well!

Upon seeing this, Zoro hurriedly bent down and bit a wooden knife on the ground again. The wooden knives in his hands also fell off due to too many, and finally only one in each hand was left, and one was biting in his mouth.

"Where are your weapons?"

Zoro, who was assuming a standard three-sword style posture, saw that the Third Generation Kitetsu on Atlas's waist was not unsheathed, and asked with some confusion. (Don’t ask why the knife in your mouth didn’t fall, ask because your talent is awakened)

"Oh, I almost forgot!"

Atlas slapped his forehead with some annoyance, bent down and slowly picked up the grass roots that had just been spat out of Zoro's mouth from the ground, and gestured at Zoro.

"Well, this is just right. I'm really sorry. I don't have a smaller weapon than this."

"Hey! Are you kidding me?"

Zoro's jaw almost dropped when he saw this, and he cursed with an angry look on his face.

"Just kidding, just kidding, don't mind, little brother."

Atlas threw away the grass roots, scratched his head and smiled, then picked up a wooden knife from the ground and pointed the tip at Zoro opposite.

"Huha!"

Looking at Atlas, who had the same serious look on his face, Zoro shouted and struck with three swords!

boom!

Fall to the ground!

"Ah, it hurts so much!"

Zoro frowned and said bitterly. There was a big steaming bump in the middle of his algae-green hair.

"How about it, I won, right?"

Atlas put the weapon in his hand on his shoulder casually, with a half-smile on his face.

"Come again!"

boom!

"Come again!"

boom!

…

boom!

Zoro fell heavily to the ground, his head was already covered with big bumps, but there was no trace of depression on his face. Even Atlas had to admire his persistence.

"How's it going? Have you admitted defeat?"

Atlas teased as he moved his face closer to the panting and sweaty Zoro.

"Hmph, I lost, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Zoro turned away and said in a low voice.

"Be my son!"

Atlas put away his smiling expression and imitated Whitebeard's tone.

"Clam?"

Zoro suspected that he heard it wrong, but it seemed like this guy wasn't joking. What should he do? Do you want to promise him?

How could you treat someone like a child so carelessly! But how can a man keep his word and not keep it?

"You're kidding! Hahahaha!"

Looking at Zoro, who seemed to be hesitating whether to agree or not, Atlas couldn't help laughing.

How about being so cute!

"You bastard……"

Zoro was immediately a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he had seriously considered this request just now.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I can give you this knife, but we have to make an agreement, an agreement between men!"

Atlas' expression turned serious instantly and he spoke in a serious tone.

"This sword is a demon sword! No, it should be a famous sword, little brother!"

Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice came from behind.

PS. Zoro entered the gym in 2009 or 2010. I will explain this in detail in the chapter review. Now it is 2008. Zoro is 7 years old. He is two years older than Luffy, right?
