In June 1517, an event occurred in the East China Sea that was enough to alarm the four seas.

As we all know, the East China Sea is the "weakest sea", and it has only four tens of millions of pirates, and later a promising imp emerged to become the fifth tens of millions of pirates.

But in June of this year, the number of tens of millions of pirates in the East China Sea plummeted, and only one Bucky Pirate was spared, and the rest of the pirates were wiped out.

Eliminated the Creek Pirates and the Black Cat Pirates, escaped from the hands of the rear admiral, and the pirate rookie Yasuo, who had a bounty of up to 50 million, was killed, and all the survivors of the Wind Pirates led by him were captured.

The captain of the Black Cat Pirates, who had a bounty of 16 million, was arrested, and tried to escape after being imprisoned, but failed to escape due to his injuries, and is now sent to Advance City Prison.

One of the Seven Martial Seas, the former crew of the Sea Hero Jinping, the captain of the Evil Dragon Pirates with a bounty of 20 million, died tragically in his lair after killing a colonel of the Navy Branch, and only a few members of the Pirates escaped with their lives.

And Bucky, the clown who is the only good one, was also captured and reduced to a means of transportation, and is now on the run.

These four events happened in the same month, and it was the same person who defeated the 40 million-level pirates in the East China Sea.

Previous reports only vaguely described the person's appearance, but now the newspaper has posted a photo of him, letting the world know what this fierce man who swept through the East China Sea is like.

The photograph may have been taken candidly, only half of his body was taken, but it was enough for people to make a note of his physical features.

Ordinary shirt and trousers, eye-catching short green hair, a youthful and unusual face, resolute and sharp eyes, three drop-shaped earrings in the left ear, a tall and muscular body, and three swords worn around the waist.

……

On a small island in the New World, someone is reading a newspaper.

"Roronoa Zoro, he looks like a pretty good boy." Slapping today's newspaper on the table, the red-haired one-armed man smiled at the person next to him: "Jesus Bu, he also saved your village by the way." ”

The man named Jesus Cloth rubbed his nose with his fingers, knowing that this was his own boss teasing, showing a smiling appearance: "Ha, then I really have to thank him." But even without him, Usopp would have protected the village, he inherited my talent and was a natural sniper! ”

Speaking of his son, Jesus Bu's face couldn't help but show a trace of pride, and the imperceptible gloom between his eyebrows was all covered by the expression of sorrow.

And his buddies laughed: "Haha, this guy is bragging to us about his son again." ”

"Hey, a bunch of old bachelors are envious?!" Unwilling to be lonely, Jesus began to mock.

Hearing his words, the people around him, whether they had a family or not, couldn't help it, and surrounded him: "Hey, this old boy has itchy skin again, beat him!" ”

The red-haired one-armed man watched the crew laugh and laugh together, and looked down at the newspaper on the table, with a faint flash of anticipation in his eyes.

"Luffy, when will I hear from you?"

……

In a tavern in the Chambord Islands, a handsome old man with gray hair and raunchy looks at his glasses, drinking and reading today's newspaper.

And when he saw that the Evil Dragon Pirates were almost wiped out, the smile on the face of this handsome old man suddenly froze, and the sweet wine on weekdays somehow was slightly bitter.

"What's wrong?" The proprietress who was wiping the wine glass saw the handsome old man's absent-minded appearance, and also stepped forward to take a look.

Then, she stopped wiping the cup for a moment, and her eyes were a little worried: "Little eight......"

……

In the Great Passage, in a country full of wind and sand, a man in a suit and leather shoes sat on the sofa and read the newspaper, his eyes were fixed on the picture of Sauron, and after a while, he finally spoke:

"Send someone to contact me and see if they can be used by me."

After the words fell, a hot woman came out of the shadows of the room, she showed half of her face, and her red lips opened lightly: "Then I'll go, it just so happens that nothing has happened recently." ”

"Are you sure?" Raising his head, the deep voice of the sand crocodile Klockdahl echoed in the room: "Don't do anything superfluous, the world government knows about your existence, and I can't protect you." ”

Hearing Klockdahl's words, the woman couldn't help but hold her hands in her arms and made a gesture of not caring: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

"It was better to do so." Klockdahl knew that the woman in front of him didn't trust him and lived on betrayal, but for now he needed her knowledge, and she needed his protection, so that she could continue to work together without incident.

Until, of course, he unlocks the mystery of "Hades".

……

In a restaurant in Alabastan, a shirtless dark-haired boy in an orange cowboy hat is looking down and frantically digging rice into his mouth, while a dozen plates are piled up next to him, all of which are his masterpieces.

"Hey, have you heard, there seems to be a great person in the East China Sea." The guest at the next table turned his back to the boy, holding a newspaper and sharing the news he had just received with his companions.

Hearing the word Donghai, the young man who was picking up the rice raised his head, his face scattered with freckles was covered with fragrant rice grains, and he didn't care that the rice in his mouth had not been swallowed, he turned around and took the newspaper from the hand of the person who spoke and read it.

"Buns are washed on May Day (the newspaper lends me a bit)."

"Hey, you ......" The guest was about to have a seizure, but when he saw the young man's sturdy body and the tattoo on his arm, he couldn't figure out the young man's origin for a while, so he had to take the curse back.

The shirtless boy didn't see the anger on the face of the guest he had robbed of the newspaper, and all his attention was on the paper.

After seeing Zoro's photo, the boy sighed slightly disappointed: "I thought it would be Luffy's kid, and I would be happy." ”

"But it looks like this guy should be quite powerful, I hope I can have a chance to learn from it in the future."

After muttering for a while, the boy returned the newspaper and thanked him politely.

Although the guest really didn't want to take the newspaper that had become oily, looking at the young man's sincere and eager expression, he could only reluctantly take the newspaper back.

……

"I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful character in the East China Sea, who could defeat all the pirates with tens of millions of bounties."

On a certain merchant ship sailing on the sea, a bright girl with short orange hair was smiling perfunctorily with a rich child in bright clothes, and overheard the words of a passer-by, and was stunned for a moment.

Then, regardless of the entanglement of the rich children, she ran to find someone to ask for a newspaper, stared at the newspaper with a nervous expression, and read it carefully without missing a word.

Finally, she saw her hometown, and she saw the name that was like a nightmare.

Suddenly, crystal tears dripped from his eyes.

The girl burst into tears, but she bit her lip to keep herself from crying.

"Ha, finally, you're finally ...... Dead ......"

……

In the kendo hall of Frost Moon Village, Koshiro, who was still engaged in teaching and educating people, and teaching children kendo by the way, took the newspaper brought by his disciple and saw a familiar figure on it.

"Mr. Koshiro, is that really Brother Zoro?" A couple of young boys in kendo uniforms struggled to stand on their tiptoes, trying to look at the newspaper photos again to see if they were dazzled.

Propping up his glasses, Koshiro showed a gentle smile on his wrinkled face, "That's right, that's your brother Zoro." ”

"Wow, Brother Zoro is so powerful, he just went to sea and defeated such a powerful pirate."

"I'm going to be as strong as Brother Sauron in the future, and then go to the sea to fight the bad guys like him."

"Me too, me too!"

When Sauron's disciples heard of his feat, they clamored to become as powerful as him, and then Koshiro rushed to the dojo to swing his sword.

The smile on his face was slightly retracted, and Koshiro came to the courtyard with the newspaper in his hand, looking up at the place where the elf was sleeping, his eyes were leisurely, and his voice was soft:

"He hasn't forgotten your agreement."
