=========================================
Zoro sat cross-legged on the ground, recalling his master's words just before he left Shimotsuki Village.
"Zoro, take this map. Follow the directions, and you'll find a town where you can buy supplies."
He unfurled the map given by Master Koshiro, rested his chin on his hand, and studied it intently. After a while, he muttered, "I didn't take a wrong turn, did I?"
"But where's the town?"
Zoro glanced at the desolate wilderness around him, deeply questioning his place in the world.
To make matters worse, after arriving on the island, a wave had capsized his small boat, leaving him with no way back.
Just when Zoro was at a loss, not knowing what to do, a sailboat slowly passed by the island.
Zoro was momentarily stunned, then shouted joyfully, "Hey! Can you stop for a moment?"
Noir, who was lifting weights on the boat, was also surprised by the shout.
That voice sounds so familiar.
Turning around, he saw the familiar green moss head and the three swords...
Zoro?
Noir was shocked. He had just set sail and already ran into someone from the main crew? He hadn't planned on seeking out Zoro.
But what was going on? Was he lost again?
Since he'd seen him, he couldn't just ignore it. Noir steered the boat to the shore, and the green moss head immediately sprinted toward him.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
But... why was he running the wrong way?
Noir watched in disbelief as Zoro, despite starting on a straight path, took a sharp turn and ran off in the opposite direction!
Is this even getting lost? This must be some kind of condition!
Noir's eyelid twitched, and he shouted, "Over here!"
After a considerable amount of chaos, Noir finally managed to get Zoro on board. As expected, he was lost.
Once on the boat, Zoro laughed with relief and thanked Noir, "Thank you."
The move was incredibly swift, leaving little time for a normal person to react, but Noir's Observation Haki was constantly active, making this speed insignificant.
"Bull Needle!"
Zoro's deep shout rang out. Noir raised his sword, swiftly blocking the two blades aimed at his chest, and with a quick force, he easily pushed Zoro back.
Zoro, retreating a few steps, looked at Noir in disbelief. This man had effortlessly broken his attack with one hand?
But he didn't lose focus. Using his momentum, he crossed the two swords behind him and lunged like a tiger, shouting, "Tiger Hunt!"
The three swords came at him again with overwhelming pressure, but Noir frowned, swinging his sword to block the core of the three-sword style.
With a light flick of his sword, Zoro quickly pulled back, narrowly avoiding the blade that brushed past his throat and chin.
"Damn it!" Zoro said angrily.
After so many attacks, he hadn't even touched Noir's clothes, but a single counterattack had left him in such a sorry state!
"The names are good, but they're too flashy," Noir commented, shaking his sword.
In battles between swordsmen of the same level, various techniques could indeed increase victory chances.
However, Noir's swordsmanship was solidly above Zoro's, rendering his flashy named moves ineffective.
Noir had wanted to name his moves, but he was terrible at it, feeling envious of Zoro's creativity.
Zoro, driven by an unyielding spirit, bit down harder on Wado Ichimonji, and with a resolute shout, swung his swords again, "Oni Giri!"
Noir's eyes brightened. For the first time, he moved to meet the attack, saying, "Let me show you the difference between us."
With a simple upward slash, Noir's sword carried a force that could cut through steel.
The clash of swords echoed in the air. Zoro stood, still holding his two swords, but their blades were shattered and scattered on the ground.
Noir sheathed his undamaged sword and said, "You're not the only one who wants to become the world's greatest."
