"You really dare to say that!"

"In that case, no matter if it means infamy or something else, I must make my name known to the world!"

In this way, Zoro successfully became Luffy's first partner.

[Tony Tony Chopper: Wow! Zoro, what you just said is really cool! ]

[Brooke: Is this how Mr. Luffy and Mr. Zoro met? It really makes my blood boil, although I no longer have the blood to boil, because I am just a pile of bones~ Yohohohoho~]

[Franky: Wow, you two are so manly! It makes me cry!]

[Roronoa Zoro: Hey, there's no need to be so exaggerated, right? ]

[Monkey D. Luffy: Hehe, that was already several months ago. I really miss it~]

The scene continues——

After Zoro became Luffy's partner,

The two men easily defeated Colonel Monka and left the town of Shields.

Then the video quickly flashed their battle with the Buggy Pirates and Hyakuke Kuro.

The camera then turned and the scene was outside the Barati restaurant on the sea.

Zoro stood on the deck of a wrecked pirate ship.

In front of him, a man with an extremely powerful aura and a huge cross sword on his back was sitting on a small boat.

It is the world's number one swordsman - Djordje Mihawk!

Zoro looked at Hawkeye and said in a deep voice: "I went out to sea just to see you!"

"Oh? What's the target?" Hawkeye asked with interest.

"The strongest!"

Zoro responded in a firm tone.

At the same time, he took off the dark green headscarf from his left arm and tied it on his head.

Then he slowly pulled out the three knives from his waist, his fighting spirit high!

Seeing this, Hawkeye leaped lightly onto the deck and stood opposite Zoro.

"You dare to challenge me. Should I say that you are brave or ignorant?"

"It's because of my ambition and the promise I made to my best friend!"

Facing the world's greatest swordsman, Zoro is not afraid at all!

[Kaido: Ugh~ This kid really doesn't know his place. With his limited skills, he actually dares to challenge Hawkeye? I'm afraid he doesn't even know that death is written! ]

[Edward Newgate: Kaido, don't underestimate other people's courage. As a swordsman, it is already a great thing to dare to draw the sword against Hawkeye! ]

[Charlotte Lingling: So what if they have courage? There is an insurmountable gap between their abilities. To me, they are simply overestimating their own abilities!]

[Shanks: No, I think that if he doesn't even have the courage to draw his sword against Mihawk, then he will never be able to surpass Mihawk and become the world's number one swordsman. It is precisely because of this courage that he can keep moving forward and touch the end of his ambition! ]

On the projection screen——

After seeing Zoro's determination, Hawkeye slowly drew out his sword.

No, it's more like a knife than a sword.

That was the small cross knife he wore on his chest!

Seeing the other party's actions, Sauron asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Hawkeye replied in a nonchalant and even somewhat disdainful tone:

"I am not like a stupid beast that uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit."

"Although you are a swordsman of some reputation, this is the East Sea, the weakest of the four seas after all."

"Unfortunately, I don't have a knife smaller than this one."

In the picture, Hawkeye's expression showed a hint of contempt.

[Rocks D. Gibeck: Damn! This guy called Hawkeye is really good at showing off! ]

[Shiki: I don’t have a knife smaller than this? Damn! Why can’t I say something so pretentious?!]

[Zhan Guo: Although Hawkeye seems to be showing off, what he said is indeed the truth. With his strength, a small knife is enough to easily defeat the opponent. ]

[Borusalino: I learned another famous saying about pretending to be cool. I'll write it down quickly. I'll use it the same way next time~]

On the projection screen——

As expected,

Even with just a knife,

Hawkeye was also enough to completely crush Zoro at that time.

Zoro's "Three Swords Style: Extreme Tiger Hunting" was easily defeated by Hawkeye with a knife.

Moreover, Hawkeye's knife also stabbed deeply into his chest.

It was just a little bit short of piercing his heart completely.

However, in the face of such an attack, Zoro did not retreat even a single step.

"Do you want to be stabbed right through the heart? Why don't you back off?"

Zoro's behavior surprised Hawkeye.

And Sauron just responded in a deep voice:

"I don't know, I don't know either..."

"I just feel that if I take even one step back here, all the important vows and promises I have made so far will disappear, and I will never come back here again..."

Hawkeye affirmed: "Yes, this is called defeat!"

"Then I can't even retreat!"

"You won't retreat even if you die?"

"Better dead!"

This conversation allowed Hawkeye to see Sauron's determination to never surrender.

So he slowly took back the knife in his hand and took a few steps back.

"Boy, tell me your name!"

"Roronoa Zoro!"

"I will remember this, my long-lost strong man. Then..."

As he spoke, Hawkeye finally solemnly drew out the giant cross sword behind him.

"As a swordsman's courtesy, I will use the world's strongest black sword to bury you in the sea!"

Zoro smiled when he heard this, his eyes flashing with determination to die.

“I’m really grateful for that!”

"The Secret of Three Sword Styles: Three Thousand Worlds!"

In a flash, Zoro used his strongest sword move to attack Hawkeye.

And the result was not surprising.

He was defeated, and the two knives in his hands were cut into pieces!

Defeated without any chance to fight back!

However, after realizing the gap between himself and the world's number one swordsman, Zoro did not despair.

He slowly put the Wado Ichimonji that was about to come out of his mouth back into the scabbard and held it in his hand.

Then he turned around and faced Hawkeye.

Opened his arms.

"doing what?"

Hawkeye was somewhat puzzled by Zoro's behavior.

Zoro smiled calmly and responded:

"The scars on the back are a swordsman's disgrace!"

After these words were spoken, Hawkeye couldn't help but reveal an affirmative smile.

"amazing!"

Then, the world's strongest black sword was aimed at Zoro's chest and swung down fiercely! .

Chapter 68: To endure all kinds of suffering without getting tired of it, this is the way of Shura! [Please order the whole thing]

[Tony Tony Chopper: Zoro!!! Are you okay?! You're so badly injured, I have to treat you immediately! ]

[Roronoa Zoro: Hey, Chopper, calm down! That was just a scene from the past, it's not like I was really chopped off now!]

[Tony Tony Chopper: Ah! Sorry, sorry~ I was so engrossed in watching it that I thought it was real~]

[Nami: So after I drove the Merry away, something like this happened~...]

[Vinsmoke Sanji: I have to say, this guy with the algae head is quite manly when he gets serious. Even I was shocked by his behavior at the beginning.]

[Edward Newgate: Are scars on the back a shame for a swordsman? Well said! I have fought all my life, and I have never had any scars on my back. This little guy named Zoro is pretty good! Gulala-la~]

[Gol D. Roger: He is indeed a very strong-willed little guy! ]

[Kaido: Humph! In my opinion, this is just a brat who has no ability but likes to show off! ]

[Charlotte Lingling: If Hawkeye hadn't been so merciful, this guy would have died in the sea by now, mmmmm~]

The scene continues——

Zoro, who was slashed by Hawkeye, fell into the sea.

Sword God Johnny and Sword Saint Joseph, two of his younger brothers, quickly fished him out of the sea and rescued him.

Just as Big Mom said, fortunately Hawkeye felt a sense of appreciation for Zoro's talent and did not kill him.

He was able to save his life.

Hawkeye stood on the deck of the damaged ship, looking at the rescued Zoro, and said in a deep voice:

"It's too early for you to die."

"I am Jorakol Mihawk!"

"See yourself clearly, understand the world, and become stronger!"

"No matter how many years pass, I will be waiting for you in this strongest position!"

"Surpass this sword! Surpass me! Roronoa Zoro!"

Hawkeye's inspiring words echoed over the sea.

This is the mutual respect between swordsmen.

This is the recognition of Zoro by Hawkeye, the world's strongest swordsman!

[Shanks: Hahaha, Mihawk actually said something like this. It seems that he really recognizes this young swordsman named Zoro.]

[Gol D. Roger: As long as this little guy is given enough time, with his perseverance and ambition, he will eventually become a powerful swordsman and surpass Hawkeye! ]

[Jorakor Mihawk: Roronoa Zoro, I hope you won't let me down. ]

[Roronoa Zoro: Don't worry, I am now moving step by step towards my goal of surpassing you! ]

In the screen——

After hearing Hawkeye's words, the seriously injured Zoro first coughed violently a few times and gasped heavily.

Then, he slowly raised the Wado Ichimonji in his hand.

Point this sword that carries his ambition and oath to the sky!

Then, he took a deep breath and spoke loudly:

"Luffy, can you hear me?"
