Everyone Is Growing

Then he pushed open the wooden door to the Captain's cabin, and with a piercing creak, his loud shout rang out.

"It's bad, Captain! Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro is here!"

"Um!"

The Captain paused, his hand still holding his cigarette. He mechanically and slowly raised his head, turning his neck to look at his underling. "What... did you say? Say it again..."

Once."

The younger brother's grip on the gun tightened involuntarily, and he nervously said, "Pirate Hunter Zoro is here."

The Captain's hand holding the cigarette trembled, his pupils contracted, his face stiffened, and he froze on the spot.

The underling looked at the Captain nervously and asked, "Um... Captain, should we prepare to fight? Pirate Hunter Zoro is coming soon."

The younger brother's voice broke the Captain's tense concentration. He threw away his cigarette and quickly stood up.

"Welcome... welcome my ass!"

He grabbed a coat from the side, quickly draped it over his shoulders, and shouted at his underlings, "That's Zoro, the Pirate Hunter! A true killing maniac!"

He had recently heard about this guy from his accomplices more than once, about how he had wiped out one Pirates today and slaughtered another Pirates tomorrow.

At first, he didn't believe it. If there really were such powerful Bounty Hunter, why would they stay in the East Blue? Wouldn't they have already gone to the Grand Line to make their fortunes?

However, after his familiar Pirates crew also encountered Zoro and never heard from him again, he gained a clear understanding of how terrifying Zoro, the Bounty Hunter, was.

He hadn't expected the East Blue to be so vast; he was just casually sailing around, grabbing a bite to eat, because his Pirates crew was broke.

Unexpectedly, instead of robbing the money, he ran into the last person he wanted to see.

The thought of his head soon becoming a source of money for the other party sent a sharp pain through his neck.

He grabbed the gun from the side, tucked it into his waistband, pushed open the door, and strode out of the room.

"What are you all standing there for? Turn around now!"

The Captain stepped out of his cabin and roared at his men who were standing dumbfounded on the deck outside.

But the underlings seemed to be frozen in place, ignoring the Captain's orders, which they usually feared.

Noticing his men's odd behavior, the Captain looked up at the bow. When he saw the green-haired figure crouching on the bow railing, his throat felt like it was blocked by something; he wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a sound.

It was his henchman who was bravest. He emerged from behind the Captain, looked at Zoro at the bow, and shouted, "Brothers, there are so many of us, let's go and take him down!"

The Captain, emboldened by his underling's imposing manner, glared at Zoro with bloodshot eyes, drew his gun, and unleashed a barrage of shots at the bow of the ship.

"Go to hell! You Moss Head monster!"

"Um!"

Zoro, who was crouching at the bow of the ship, preparing to pull his companion aboard, seemed to hear something unusual.

It's the same as a hated title.

He turned his head and looked directly at the Captain through the gaps in the Bullet.

"Moss Head."

Veins bulged on his forehead as he swiftly drew his sword, one in each hand, and swung it wildly in front of him, slicing all the oncoming Bullet in half.

Then, he pushed off the railing with both legs, and with a "bang," the railing shattered, and pieces of wood flew everywhere. His figure, as if Teleportation, suddenly appeared in front of the Captain, out of sight of anyone else on the ship.

"Moss Head, huh!"

"I'll teach you to give people random nicknames."

As he spoke, he raised his long sword with his right hand and slashed at the Captain's neck.

"I'll take your head."

Puff--!

A flash of light, Captain froze on the spot, his outstretched hand hanging in mid-air, gripping the gun, smoke still rising from the barrel, but the light in his eyes was rapidly fading.

"You bastard."

The Captain's henchman yelled and quickly raised his pistol at Zoro.

Puff--!

A flash of light, and he too froze on the spot, the light in his eyes quickly dimming.

Zoro waved his hands to the sides, then shook them to wipe the blood off his swords, before turning to look at the numerous Pirates on the deck.

Only then did the heads of the two men behind him rise into the air amidst the surging blood, their headless bodies collapsing to the ground.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump thump thump!!

The sound of heads hitting the deck made the Pirates' throats feel like they were on fire. They swallowed hard, their pupils contracting to their limit as they watched Zoro approach step by step.

Then, with a jolt, a series of water droplets flowed down their trouser legs and onto the deck.

Several of them even had their eyes rolled back and collapsed on the deck with a "plop".

Zoro looked at the Pirates, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He slowly sheathed the knife in his hand, and then drew a third knife.

These guys weren't worthy of his "Sea-Splitter" strike; they only deserved ordinary swords.

Seeing these Pirates who were completely terrified, Zoro simply swung his sword a few times.

Several white Wind Blade, glowing with a green light, swiftly sliced through the necks of each Pirates, causing Pirates to die without any pain.

He cannot yet unleash the "Flying Slash," a technique truly exclusive to Swordmaster.

However, with his strength, unleashing Wind Blade is still quite easy for him.

He then carefully walked across the deck, which was covered in urine and blood. As he passed the unconscious Pirates, he didn't stop, quickly delivering a few more blows.

This is Zoro at this moment, even stronger than the Zoro in Kuta's memories.

Of course, they are even more indifferent to Pirates.

Chapter 62: All Are Growing

Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed the railing at the bow of the ship, and the owner of the hand easily jumped onto the ship and stood on the deck beside it.

The newcomer was wearing a burgundy overcoat, had silver-gray hair, and was handsome.

This guy is also a student at Isshin Dojo, he came after Zoro, and his name is "Saka".

He is a kind-hearted and handsome man.

He was Zoro's Navigator during this period of time, and also Zoro's Pirate Hunter companion.

Like Ahua Trio, this guy left the Dojo a few years ago. However, he didn't have any family fortune to inherit, so he went to sea to become Pirate Hunter.

His encounter with Zoro took place at Marine Base where bounties were being exchanged.

He was overjoyed to see Zoro and immediately invited Zoro to hunt Pirates with him, knowing full well Zoro's strength!

As the only person in the Dojo who trained with Kuta and Kuina, it's no wonder Zoro is so strong.

Sure enough, his choice was right. Since teaming up with Zoro, the bounties of the Pirates they hunted have been getting higher and higher, and each time it was easy and there was never any danger.

However, there's one downside to teaming up with Zoro: he always wipes out the Pirates before Zoro even gets on board, leaving Zoro with no sense of accomplishment, just like this time... it's the same.

But this time he seemed to have heard something funny, and he could finally make fun of this guy.

Saka, seeing Zoro approaching, laughed loudly, "Hahaha!! The nickname 'Moss Head' really suits you, Zoro!"

Zoro's already cold face grew even colder. He roared at Saka, "You bastard, want to fight? If you do, I'll remind you of the fear you had when you were a kid facing me."

"Hahaha!! Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"

Saka isn't afraid of Zoro at all!

Although this guy is very cold towards Pirates and enemies, he is actually quite gentle towards those around him and Civilians.

"You bastard."

Zoro gripped the hilt of the Sea-Splitter sword tighter, then, as if struck by a thought, glanced disdainfully at Saka, "Always so slow, why don't you go and deal with that Pirate Ship's head?"

He walked arrogantly past Saka and stood on the bow of the ship, saying, "He's just a helper."

"You..."

Saka glared at Zoro and roared angrily, "Am I slow? It's you who's always so slow!"

They killed too quickly, okay!

"Don't make excuses for yourself. It's okay to be slow; you're just an assistant."

Zoro turned and gave Saka a haughty glance, then turned back, letting the sea breeze blow, "Hurry up, or your head will be in trouble."

"You..."

He had nothing to say to Zoro. He rolled his eyes helplessly, turned around, and hopped across the filth on the ground.

When he reached the Pirate Ship's side and looked at the head lying on the ground, its eyes wide open in death, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What a monster!"

A character with a 7 million bounty would have required considerable caution and effort to hunt down in the past.

Thinking of the Pirates they had hunted recently, he couldn't help but shake his head, bend down, pick up the head, and toss it into the special bag hanging on his waist.

Let alone seven million, even ten million or twenty million would probably be nothing more than a single strike against this monster!

During his time with Zoro, his only feeling was, "Strong, too strong."

No wonder Kuta treats him so specially.

Thinking of Kuta, he turned around, walked to the bow of the ship, and looked out at the sea with Zoro, saying, "It's been four months since we've heard from Kuta and the others! I wonder where those guys are hiding and having fun now!"

"Kuta."

Zoro tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, the Sea-Splitter, and his gaze hardened as he thought of his reasons for setting sail.

"Wait for me, wait for my challenge!"

After several months at sea, he could clearly feel his progress, and he could feel a power gathering within his body.

"Fighting others is indeed the best way to improve one's strength."

"That power must be the power that Kuta was talking about, the power that everyone has in their body!"

Before long, he will be able to Awakening his own power, just like Kuina, and become a true Swordmaster.

At that time... he will also go to the Grand Line.

"Hey! By the way, what kind of heinous thing did Ahua do to warrant a bounty of 500 million Beli?"

Saka thought of Ahua and couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha!! That guy is the most cowardly one among us. I wonder how he feels seeing such a high bounty on his head."

Hahahaha...

Thinking of Ahua, Zoro couldn't help but smile.

"Think

"So this is the reason why Kuta disappeared for several months!"

"After all, Ahua's strength..."

Needless to say, Saka understood that Ahua Trio companions were the weakest among them!

They looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

Hahahaha...

The sound lingered around the Pirate Ship, drifted across the Sea, and traveled far, far away.

Just as Zoro and the other man were thinking about what Ahua looked like.

Ahua was not what they imagined.

If we're judging solely by strength, Zoro might not even be a match for Ahua at this point.
