Several years have passed since Kaido became the King of the World.

Now Zaun is jointly managed by Yamato and Hiyori Kozuki. For a while, the lilies in their hometown bloomed again...

“Boss serves wine~”

In an ordinary street tavern, a man with short green hair and three knives at his waist walked into the tavern skillfully and asked for a drink from the boss.

"Oh? It's Sauron-san~"

The owner of the tavern looked at the green algae head who suddenly walked in and smiled slightly. He was very familiar with this man. To be precise, there was no tavern that he was not familiar with. This man's name was Roronoa Zoro.

He used to be a pirate, but was later accepted as his apprentice by the former king of Zuan, His Majesty Kaido. He is a man with extremely high talent in swordsmanship.

"The boss will bring the best wine."

Zoro touched his chin and lectured to the tavern owner.

“Best wine?”

"That's very expensive. Brother Zoro, honestly do you have money?"

After hearing Sauron's words, the boss looked stunned, and then asked with a skeptical attitude.

"Of course~"

After listening to the boss's words, Zoro took out a handful of broken silver from his arms.

"Why are you so generous today?"

The boss looked at Zoro, who was actually rich, and was slightly stunned, then asked.

"Because the time has come."

"It's time for me to leave here."

After listening to the boss's words, Zoro smiled slightly and replied.

"Are you planning on getting out of here?"

"Aren't you going to return to Zaun again?"

After hearing Zoro's words, the boss showed a rare trace of panic and asked.

"Of course not. I just left here temporarily. Of course I will come back."

"I just left for a while and will be back soon."

After listening to the boss's words, Zoro shook his head. He had already regarded this place as his retirement place, how could he leave?

"Huh~"

"Really, Sauron-san's words shocked me, so where are you going?"

When the boss heard that Zoro had only left for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he still liked Zoro very much.

"Go find someone and fight with him."

After hearing what his boss said, Zoro smiled slightly, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Find someone?"

After rummaging through the cabinets for a while, the boss took out the best wine in the tavern and poured a large glass for Zoro.

"Well, find a man who is called the strongest swordsman in the world."

After listening to the boss's words, Zoro nodded slightly, then picked up his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Huh~ cool!"

After Sauron drank the wine in the cup, he made a comfortable sound.

"The strongest swordsman in the world?"

After listening to Zoro's words, the boss's expression flashed with surprise. When it comes to the strongest swordsman in the world, there is only one person who can hold this title. Anyone who is a swordsman will admit that that man must be the strongest in the world.

The swordsman's, Joracol Mihawk!

It is said that Joracol Mihawk is not only the strongest swordsman in the world, but also the last pirate king, the deputy of Yamato, the current king of Zaun, and one of the companions who once conquered the sea with Yamato.

.

"Zoro, are you serious?"

"That Jorah Kormihawk is a monster!"

The tavern owner couldn't help but preach to Sauron.

"Hahaha……"

"Of course! Of course I'm ready~"

"Currently, there is no opponent in the entire Zaun that is worthy of me to kill. Except for Jorakor Mihawk, I can't find anyone in this sea who is worthy of me to kill!"

After listening to the tavern owner's words, Zoro smiled softly. He took out the samurai sword at his waist. Looking at the cold light on the blade, he suddenly heard a sound.

The knife in his hand is talking to him. The knife in his hand is eager to fight! It is eager to fight the enemy! It is eager to drink the blood of the enemy! The knife in his hand is eager to fight with stronger people! And in this current sea, when it comes to swordsmanship,

If there is anyone stronger than Zoro, there is no one except the world's greatest swordsman, Joracol Mihawk.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Really? I didn't expect you, Sauron-san, to have trained yourself to this point. Now you can be called a qualified samurai sword!"

"If that's the case, then let me treat you to the drink today!"

The boss laughed loudly after listening to Zoro's words, and his mood became passionate as Zoro just said a few words.

"Isn't this...not good?"

Zoro frowned after hearing what his boss said. He knew that the boss in front of him was very afraid of his wife. Why should he be killed by his wife for being such a wanton prodigal?

"Do not worry!"

"Don't look at it, old man, I don't have much money, but I still have money just to buy you a glass of wine."

"I just hope you won't lose to that Mihawk!"

The boss looked at Zoro's skeptical eyes and instantly understood what Zoro was thinking. He waved his hand towards Zoro as if he didn't care.

"Thank you very much, boss!"

After hearing what the boss said, Zoro stopped hesitating and smiled, becoming the boss's lover.

"Back then, I was also a swordsman! I mean, I also wanted to be a swordsman like you. I also hoped that I could become the strongest swordsman in the world!"

"I even had a big fight with my father back then, saying that I wanted to spend money to learn swordsmanship, and then my father scolded me severely. In the end, I compromised like the world, opened this tavern, and worked hard

That’s a lifetime!”

"Now the person who will realize my dream is right in front of me, how can I accept your money!"

After listening to Zoro's words, the boss waved his hand gently. He is really happy now. He is very happy to meet Zoro. He is very happy to hear the other party say that he wants to challenge Joracol Mihawk. It is very happy.

It's great to see the rise of one of the world's greatest swordsmen.

"The boss also wants to be a swordsman?"

After listening to the boss's words, Zoro looked at the boss's big belly and smiled softly.

"Hey! Don't look at me like this now. When I was about the same age as you, I was also the kind of master who could kill for three days and three nights without blinking with a knife. Besides, my swordsmanship talent was at that time

But I am very famous throughout Zaun, and even Lord Kaido wanted to accept me as his disciple. If you hadn’t suddenly appeared, hahaha... maybe Kaido’s disciple would be me."

The boss spoke very brazenly.

"Hahaha……"

"Okay, I believe it."

Zoro laughed loudly after hearing what the boss said. He was amused by the boss's words.

"Hey! Look, you're still laughing at me?"

The boss looked at the laughing Zoro and smiled softly. He just wanted to make Zoro happy. Now that he saw Zoro smiling, he was agreeing with him.

The two chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until the sun shone on their heads again the next day that they ended the conversation completely.

"time to go!"

Kojiro, who was carrying his huge katana, approached Zoro and hooked his fingers, indicating that it was time for them to leave.

"Okay, I'm here."

Zoro's body was smelling of alcohol. After hearing Kojiro's words, he tilted his head and belched wine. Although he agreed to Kojiro's words, he just lay on the bed without moving.

"well……"

Kojiro looked at the drunk Zoro and sighed helplessly, walked over and lifted Zoro up.

"How much did you drink in one night?"

Kojiro looked at the wine bottles on the ground and suddenly felt a headache. He took out a bag of gold coins from his arms, threw it to the side of the tavern owner, and then left with Zoro on his shoulders.

A long time passed, and it was not until night that the tavern owner opened his eyes.
