Chapter 393 Porusalino: Lost Legend and Challenge to the World's Strongest Swordsman! (Happy New Year~)
Roronoa Zoro, the eldest nephew of Porusalino, Wang Luffy, was the only SSR-class sailor who was actively drawn in the original plot of One Piece. He was born in Shuoyue Village in the East China Sea. He fell in love with the curly-browed chef Sanji and killed the green man along the way. Zaotou Santo-ryu swordsman, also known as the "Wings of the King".
But even with these "character entries", in the eyes of Porusalino and many pirate fans, Zoro's most famous name will always be only one - the Lost King!
That's right, it doesn't make any sense at all, and it even surpasses Luffy's stubbornness, Sanji's lust, Nami's greed for money and other characteristics of the Straw Hat members!
You can completely imagine that one day, the Straw Hats finally boarded Rafdru, but Sauron frowned and said lightly: "I seem to have been here before..."
This is not an exaggeration at all. You must know that if Koshiro Shimozuki follows his original plan, his proud disciple will complete his experience in the East China Sea two months after leaving Shuoyue Village, and then successfully enter the Great Line and start his own journey. adventure story.
Koushiro even felt that two months might be a bit long. After all, there were only a handful of strong men in the East China Sea, and even fewer could give his proud disciple the benefit of experience.
But the fact is that since the first day he left Shuangyue Village, the senior brother of Shuangyue Dojo, Sauron, was completely lost.
He obviously had a precise and easy-to-understand chart specially prepared for him by his master, and he also forced some short-sighted pirates he encountered on the way to guide him, but for a whole month, Zoro failed to enter the correct sea map. channel.
And at the end of that month, he completely ran out of food and water. Although he managed to reach the sea restaurant "Bharati" with his strong willpower and strength, as well as the luck of being loved by the world, what greeted him was just another month of getting lost.
At the beginning, these emotional former pirates and chefs, including Paddy, would bid farewell to Zoro with tears in their eyes. After all, during the three days they entertained him, both parties became friends - Paddy and the others. Sauron's superb cooking skills and bold personality were recognized by Sauron, and Sauron's neat way of killing fish with a knife and free and easy way of thinking also won praises from Paddy and others.
then--
"Goodbye! Zoro!"
"Move towards the Grand Line! Three-sword swordsman!"
"No tears, bastards! A manly farewell requires only laughter!"
"When you realize your dream, let us meet again in Barati!"
Sauron's boat, loaded with supplies presented by Paddy and others, gradually disappeared on the horizon. It was not until Sauron's green hair was completely invisible that Paddy and others wiped the wet corners of their eyes and returned to their own battles. in the kitchen.
If placed in a teenage comic, this episode about friendship, dreams, and farewell would be great up to this point, enough to become a classic episode in the minds of many people that will be remembered for many years.
However, due to the various influences of Porusalino, the atmosphere of the entire pirate world has inevitably slipped in a funny direction...
so--
Three days later.
"Hmph, is it finally here? The entrance to the Grand Line... huh?!"
"This, this is..."
"Sea Restaurant...Bharati?!"
"How could this happen?! I obviously..."
"Damn it! Are you lost?"
Thus, the cycle of getting lost appeared. With three days as a cycle, Sauron repeated the process of "leaving Barati - getting lost at sea - returning to Barati".
The mentality of Paidi and others also changed from "moved" to "confused and shocked", to "speechless and helpless", to "disgusted and numb", and the cycle continued.
No matter how manly the friendship is, no matter how reluctant we are to say goodbye, if this happens too many times, everyone will get numb.
Even Zoro himself was embarrassed.
After returning from being lost for the eighth time, as soon as Zoro entered the store, all the old diners and chefs looked at him and smiled, and some shouted:
"Roronoa, haven't you entered the Grand Line yet?"
Zoro did not answer, but said to Barati's waiters: "I want wine and meat." Then he took out fifty thousand beli.
People deliberately shouted loudly: "You must be lost again!"
"I saw you leaving here with a chart the day before yesterday! You said you must not get lost again this time!"
Zoro's expression was horrifying, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he argued: "You are blaming someone's innocence out of thin air! Lost!...Can the pirate hunter be considered lost? I am hunting prey!"
Complaints came one after another, such as "There must be something wrong with the chart given by the master", "The current and wind direction are wrong, the sea is magical", etc., which caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the air inside and outside Barati was filled with joy.
But this time, Zoro, who had repeated the lost cycle for the tenth time, finally met someone who could help him - Porusalino and Sanji, who were looking at him at the moment.
"navy……?"
Porusalino's dress and the huge navy warship parked outside made Zoro frown slightly. But the next moment, his pupils suddenly tightened, and his body tensed instinctively. He instantly pressed his hand on the handle of the three knives on his waist:
"Admiral...Kizaru!!"
——Compared with the original plot of One Piece, Zoro's master Shigetsuki Koushiro has become a senior cadre of the Revolutionary Army more firmly and clearly in the current timeline. Shigetsuki Village also has a very close relationship with the Revolutionary Army.
Therefore, although Zoro still has the identity of a pirate hunter, his attitude towards the navy is more wary than at the beginning in the original plot - you know, usually, many pirate hunters and marines admire each other. The navy will even invite these guys who are also hostile to pirates to join them.
Of course, Porusalino is definitely not an ordinary navy, and the reason why Sauron reacted to him in such a way is not just because of his status and strength as a naval admiral:
"Yo~boy~"
Porusalino copied Kuzan's Pose and said hello to Zoro.
The expression on the latter's face turned into excitement at this moment, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. His whole body revealed a dangerous aura of a beast trying to attack at all costs:
"My master told me that the world's greatest swordsman, Eagle Eye, has said more than once that you are the one who defeated him in the way of swordsmanship..."
"Roronoa Zoro, this is my name, and my dream..."
"puff--"
Zoro's speech full of his own thoughts was interrupted by Sanji's sudden sneer before he could finish.
He immediately cast his fierce gaze on Sanji, who was about the same age as him:
"What are you laughing at? Curly eyebrows?"
"Of course I'm laughing at you, green algae-headed swordsman,"
Sanji was not threatened by Zoro's eyes or aura at all. He lighted a cigarette for himself leisurely and puffed away, "Looking at you like that, you probably want to say that your dream is to transcend." Mr. Mihawk, will you become the world’s greatest swordsman?”
"And you want to challenge General Porusalino, who Mr. Mihawk said had defeated him in the sword?"
"Tsk, you swordsmen all have the same thinking. You don't need to spend any time predicting..."
"However, you don't really think you can defeat General Porusalino, do you? Even in a pure swordsmanship competition? No?"
——Sanji is certainly not an unqualified person who likes to laugh at other people's dreams, but he followed Porusalino and performed regular garrison duties in the Shampoo Islands for a period of time. And during that time, he saw all kinds of people who wanted to fight Porusalino regardless of their own abilities. Some people did it for their dreams, some people did it for fame, and some people just wanted to fight. I want to meet a strong person.
And Porusalino, who even fishes for work, will definitely not deal with all these people by himself. Therefore, Sanji was assigned the job of "reception" by him - young people need to do more things to temper themselves!
Half a month later, Sanji received batch after batch of challengers of all kinds, and his mentality changed as a result - he would still respect the dreams of others, especially the dreams of challenging the strong. This is his quality and Education, but he will also directly make these people face the reality of their own weakness and overestimation.
This is actually a kind of gentleness on his part.
Therefore, Zoro at this moment, although Sanji can tell from his aura that his strength is not weak, and may even be comparable to his own, but wants to challenge Porusalino?
——Then forget it, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.
Sanji even believed that Zoro might not even be able to obtain the so-called "defeat experience" because the strength gap between the two sides was so large that it was incomprehensible. And Porusalino, as the fastest in the world, can end the battle in an instant before he can even react...
It’s just that Zoro doesn’t know Sanji’s thoughts. He only knows that this guy is annoying, not just because of what he said just now——
"Curly eyebrows, tell me, do you want to be chopped off?"
Zoro grinned.
"Hey, you want to be kicked, right? Green algae-headed swordsman?"
Sanji raised his eyebrows slightly.
——The two sides faced each other tit for tat, their eyes collided, and there was already the smell of gunpowder in the air that excited Porusalino, a fun-loving person!
This kind of scene is what he wants to see when he comes to Barati this time!
But, what about the other guests he invited?
Just as Porusalino was thinking this——
"Boss Zhepu!"
A certain Bharati employee who was outside to help guide the ships to berth rushed in out of breath. Without caring about the others, he bent down and reported to Zhepuhui with a look of panic:
"Eagle, Eagle Eye! That King Shichibukai Eagle Eye is here!"
——Although they are legal pirates in name, the legality of the Shichibukai is only for the Navy and the World Government.
Therefore, for ordinary people, they fear the Shichibukai even more than they fear those vicious ordinary pirates. After all, the King's Shichibukai has the legal right to plunder, and the navy has no control over it!
Hawkeye's "car", the small boat that resembled a coffin, was moored slowly in front of Barati's simple driftwood port. The long black knife, which looked like a cross at first glance, was carried on his back. The moment he stepped off the boat, it attracted the attention of almost everyone who was sizing him up.
The black sword "Ye" is one of the twelve supreme swords. Although it is completely black, every inch of the blade can clearly show the chaotic T-shaped blade pattern with heavy flowers. The cross blade is inlaid with several arranged stars. Orderly precious gems.
Because of its owner, this is the strongest "black sword" in the world, or in other words, the strongest sword in the minds of many swordsmen - it will explode even if you look at it.
But at this moment, the world's greatest swordsman, who was carrying the sword that was regarded as the highest among all swordsmen, was striding towards the restaurant with a pale face - every step he took seemed like he wanted to kill someone.
His original reserve, elegance and even style and demeanor were all lost under the threat of Porusalino:
"You're definitely coming to Barati, right? Mihawk?"
"After all, you don't want the photo of yourself cutting your finger while chopping vegetables to be seen by swordsmen around the world, right?"
"The world's greatest swordsman was actually injured by a kitchen knife. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
——Thinking of these words and Porusalino's unbeatable smile, Hawkeye's swordsman's heart, which had been tempered to the extreme, also broke through.
He was even thinking about whether to quit the Shichibukai and join that cross union established by Minister Thain? Then gather powerful allies to attack Porusalino, who has a bounty on his head?
This seems to be very feasible?
After all, even as far as Hawkeye knew, the lineup of strong men who wanted to beat Porusalino as much as he did was quite luxurious. Especially within the Navy, which deals with Porusalino every day, there are many people who might just take action!
The world's fastest? It’s just the person who deserves the most beatings and the most hatred in the world!
