East China Sea.
In a small town somewhere.
"Hey, who is that guy with three knives? He dares to confront the big pirate One-Eyed Fogg."
"Whoever knows his background will definitely be killed."
Many civilians were hiding far away in their houses, scratching at the cracks in doors and windows, looking at the two figures facing each other on the street about ten meters apart.
Although Ron also obtained three knives from the East China Sea, his hair was not green, and the man holding the three knives had green hair, so his identity was self-evident.
Roronoa, Zoro.
At this time, Zoro had just gone to sea. In fact, his purpose was simply to find Hawkeye and have a fight. He didn't want to be a bounty hunter at all. But the problem was that after he came out, he not only couldn't find Hawkeye, but also the way back. Not here.
No matter how he floats in the boat, he is just spinning around the nearby islands, and the more he spins, the further away from home, and the money is gradually spent. He doesn't want to become a pirate to steal money, and the only thing he can use to make money is his sword skills. The solution is to hunt down pirates and get a little reward.
"Hey, that kid, three knives... Hey, are you here to be funny?"
The one-eyed pirate Fok, who was holding a long sword, looked at Sauron and laughed with a grin: "The more swords you hold, the stronger you are. He still has one in his mouth, hahaha, look. Seeing how stupid you are, I don’t want to kill you anymore.”
"My head is worth 3 million beli. Killing an unknown brat like you will make my knife dirty."
Zoro never responded, but it wasn't until he heard the word 3 million Baileys that a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Ah? Three million Baileys?"
"Are you scared? It's a pity that it's too late."
One-eyed Fok sneered and said: "You have offended me, and I can't let you go for free. Now kneel down and cut off one of your legs, and I will let you go. Otherwise, I..."
laugh!
In an instant, the sword light flashed past.
Sauron's figure had already appeared behind the one-eyed Fok.
Ghost slaying!
"Sorry... I don't want to listen to what you have to say. Anyway, I will accept the three million Baileys."
"Hey hey hey!!!"
Seeing this scene, almost all the civilians in the town hiding behind the cracks in doors and windows widened their eyes, showing a bit of disbelief.
I originally thought that the green-haired swordsman was going to die, but unexpectedly, he was killed instantly. In an instant, he killed the big pirate with a bounty of 3 million beli!
Simply outrageous!
The one-eyed Fok also has a younger brother. I originally thought that the boss could easily kill Sauron, so they all watched the show. However, when Sauron killed the one-eyed Fok with one move, they were almost instantly petrified.
"Hey, are you kidding... The boss is actually..."
"Three, three knives... Who are you? I've never heard of a bounty hunter like you!"
Most of the younger brothers had frightened expressions on their faces, holding swords against Zoro, but there was no fighting spirit in their eyes, and their fingers and arms were trembling.
"I am Roronoa Zoro... the man who will become the world's best swordsman sooner or later."
Zoro walked towards Fok's body, and at the same time glanced coldly at the group of boys.
After hearing Sauron's words, everyone looked at each other and immediately dispersed.
Sauron walked towards Fok, ready to cut off his head to collect the bounty, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"The world's best swordsman, I see. Is that your goal?"
Some small town residents who had cautiously opened their windows couldn't help but swallow when they saw the figure appearing behind Zoro, and slammed the windows shut again.
Among them were people who often read newspapers. They stared at the figure behind Sauron with slightly widened eyes and said in disbelief: "Then... that person, how come he looks a bit like..."
"Is he... the one from more than a year ago? Ron the Magician! The strongest bounty hunter in the East China Sea!" Someone couldn't help but take a breath of air.
However, the person next to him was trembling all over, with cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "Have you never read the newspaper? What era are these news... That guy stopped being a pirate hunter a long time ago. He joined the navy and became a He became a lieutenant general in the navy, and later defected from the navy and became a pirate."
"Hai, pirate?"
"Yes... that guy is now one of the Seven Martial Arts under the King!"
Although people who are not on the Grand Line do not know much about the specific situation of the Shichibukai, they also know that it is the most terrifying group of pirates in the world. Even on that legendary Great Line, everyone It is an all-powerful existence!
field.
Zoro doesn't watch the news very often, or he doesn't watch the news very much.
Hearing the voice behind him, he twitched his eyebrows, turned his head, looked at Ron who appeared behind him, and said, "Huh? Who are you, and what do you do?"
As soon as he asked the question, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in Zoro's eyes. He saw the three swords on Ron's back and couldn't help but said: "Three swords... Swordsman?"
"No, I'm not a swordsman, I'm a magician."
Ron shook his head, looked at Sauron's casual smile, and said, "I have a guild that specializes in hunting pirates. I see that you are quite capable."
"Not interested in."
Zoro flatly refused.
Ron chuckled and said: "Being the world's best swordsman is not something you can do just by saying it. If you don't defeat that man, the world will not recognize it."
"Do you know that too?"
This sentence actually made Sauron look over again. When he mentioned Eagle Eye, a rare look of seriousness appeared in his eyes, and he said: "That man with Eagle Eye..."
"The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, Jorah Kormihawk, is one of the King's Shichibukai. You can't meet him in the East China Sea."
Ron spoke calmly.
After hearing Ron's words, Sauron suddenly became interested, stared at Ron and said: "You mean, you can find him?!"
"certainly."
Ron said calmly.
"Take me to him!"
Zoro put one hand on the handle of the knife, and his eyes showed unprecedented excitement. His only purpose in going to sea was to find Hawkeye and then defeat Hawkeye.
Ron spread his hands and said: "That guy is very dangerous. If there is no benefit, why should I take you to find him?"
"What benefit do you want?"
Zoro asked.
Ron said: "As long as you are willing to work for me for a few years."
"That's it..."
Sauron looked at Ron and said, "But I refuse. You just led me to find him. Do you want the world's best swordsman to become your subordinate?"
Ron smiled and said: "Unfortunately, you are not the best swordsman in the world, and with your current strength, you are far from able to defeat Hawkeye."
"Yeah?"
Sauron pulled out his sword and said, "Then I want you to take me to find him even more."
It was impossible for him to join Ron, a guy who didn't know anything about it. Originally, he didn't want to use force, but now Ron said something that looked down on him.
Then, he can only use force.
