The Chapter get Retranslated
Killer: "He pulled it out!!!!"
Shiryu: "A swordsman of this caliber,
is he really worthy of Hawk-Eyes drawing his Black Blade?"
Capone Bege: "I didn't mishear, did I?
He was completely defenseless before Hawk-Eyes, yet Hawk-Eyes called him a strong man???"
Trafalgar Law: "That must be a form of acknowledgment, right???"
Shanks: "In terms of mentality, he truly
deserves the title of 'strong man'."
[The moment Hawk-Eyes drew his Black Blade Yoru, the surrounding pirates all scattered in a panic.]
[Zoro endured the sharp pain in his chest, stomping his feet!!!]
["This strike... failure means death, right...?
...So... World's Strongest, die...!!!!"]
["Three Sword Style Ogi: Three Thousand Worlds!!––"]
[The three swords spun rapidly, and Zoro charged forward!!!]
[Seeing this move, Hawk-Eyes' eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly, clearly surprised.]
[However...]
[Swish!!––]
[As the two figures crossed paths, accompanied by a clanging sound, blade fragments flew everywhere!!!]
[Black Blade Yoru cut across, severing both of Zoro's left and right swords, and simultaneously slashing across his waist!!!!]
[Hawk-Eyes landed one strike, then turned to look at Zoro.]
[Zoro took the slash and knew he was completely defeated!!!!]
[Why didn't he struggle pointlessly? He directly let go of the broken sword hilt in his hand.]
[He drew the scabbard from his waist with his left hand, and grasped the hilt of Wado Ichimonji with his right.]
[Clang!!]
[Wado Ichimonji was sheathed before him!!!!]
[Without the slightest hesitation, he held the scabbard of Wado Ichimonji, turned around, and spread his arms!]
[This action made Hawk-Eyes pause, "337"!]
[He frowned in confusion: ""What are you doing?""]
[Blood flowed from the corner of Zoro's mouth as he smiled faintly: "A wound on the back is a swordsman's disgrace!"]
[As these words left his mouth, a smile also appeared on Hawk-Eyes' face.]
["Well said."]
[Black Blade Yoru fell with a crash!!!] Bartholomew Kuma: "Zoro-senpai is so cool!!"
Ever since witnessing Luffy's swagger in Loguetown, Bartholomew Kuma had completely become Luffy's fanboy.
He not only idolized Luffy but also the entire Straw Hat Pirates crew~~
Doberman: "A swordsman who disregards life and death, he's a ruthless man...!"
Edward Newgate: "A wound on the back is a swordsman's disgrace... Gurararararara!!! This kid... it's a pity we met too late!! Otherwise, this old man would definitely make him my son!!"
Whitebeard loved that line so much!
Because his philosophy was the same as Zoro's: never retreat half a step in battle!!!
No retreat, no escape~~~
No escape, no wound on the back!!!
Of course... ambushes are not included in this discussion!!!
Tony Tony Chopper: "Wuwuwu, Zoro actually had such a tragic battle? So scary..."
Franky: "This guy never told us about it!!"
Nico Robin: "As expected of the toughest man in our Straw Hat Pirates~~~"
Shanks: "So that's it... Hawk-Eyes, I finally understand why you think so highly of him. If it were me, I'd also think highly of him!"
[When Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku pulled Zoro out of the sea and onto the ship...]
[Hawk-Eyes stood proudly, looking at Zoro, and said in a deep voice: "It's not your time to die yet! Remember, my name is Dracule Mihawk!"]
["Know yourself, know the world! Try to surpass this sword with your powerful self and tenacious spirit!"]
["Try to surpass me, Roronoa Zoro!!"]
["I'll be waiting for you on the throne of the World's Strongest Swordsman!"]
When these words were spoken, the entire chatroom was in shock!!!!
Izou: "This is... the World's Strongest Swordsman personally certifying someone worthy of taking his throne???"
Emporio Ivankov: "Wow!!! To receive such recognition from Hawk-Eyes-boy!!! Straw Hat-boy, you've got quite the comrade there~~~ Hee-haw!"
Vista: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say, even a great swordsman like me has probably never been seen by Hawk-Eyes as a candidate to challenge his throne! [...]"
King: "That guy's swordsmanship is simply masterful, in terms of swordsmanship alone, no one on this sea can surpass him! Is he trying to train a new great swordsman to become his opponent?"
Shanks: "Damn it... Hawk-Eyes, why didn't you ever say you were waiting for me to take your throne as the greatest swordsman?"
Shanks' overall strength is definitely superior to Mihawk's.
That is beyond doubt!
But in terms of swordsmanship alone, he is indeed slightly weaker than Mihawk...
Dracule Mihawk: "Roronoa Zoro! This matter was originally just an agreement between you and me, and even if you couldn't do it, it wouldn't affect me much!!! But now, this matter has become known to all! This concerns my judgment, so don't disappoint me..."
Roronoa Zoro: "When we meet again, I will fulfill my promise!!!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "You definitely will!!"
Shanks: "Ahahaha~~~"
East Blue, Raizuki Town~
"Teacher, Senior Zoro is so amazing!!! He actually received such recognition from Mr. World's Strongest Swordsman!!!"
"Senior Zoro is too strong!!!"
"We must learn from Senior Zoro!"
Amidst the cheers of a group of young swordsman apprentices, Koshiro sat cross-legged, gazing at the sky, his eyes full of kindness behind his round glasses~
[Hawk-Eyes left....]
[Luffy defeated Don Krieg and settled the matter at the Baratie Floating Restaurant.]
[Sanji finally decided to join the Straw Hat Pirates and set off with Luffy.]
At this point~~~
The white-bordered screen gradually dimmed...
Not long after~~~
The red-bordered screen gradually lit up...
[The Going Merry left Syrup Village and sailed on the high seas.]
["Why didn't you say so sooner! If I had known you were so warmly inviting me to be your captain, I wouldn't have resisted at all!!"]
[Listening to Luffy's explanation, Usopp was overjoyed.]
[Zoro frowned: "Hey! You haven't had your brain rattled by Luffy's Conqueror's Haki, have you? When did we ever say we wanted you to be captain?"]
["Ah! I mean... I can be your captain!!!" Usopp pointed to himself with his thumb, then winked~~~]
["You're dreaming!"]
[Zoro pouted, then pointed at Luffy beside him, "Look closely, our captain can only be this guy!!"]
["Damn it! You kidnap me and then don't let me be captain, what kind of logic is that!??" Usopp clenched his fist and waved it.]
["Do you really want to be captain?"]
[Seeing Usopp's persistence about being captain, Luffy asked.]
[Usopp's eyes widened excitedly, "Of course! Are you going to agree now??"]
[Bang!]
[Luffy released his Conqueror's Haki, and Usopp neatly tumbled to the ground.]
Usopp: "Hiss!!! That hateful Red Luffy, why did he just hit me out of nowhere!!!"
Nami: "Ahahaha!!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Haha!"
Tony Tony Chopper: "Usopp is so pitiful~~~"
Seeing Usopp hit by Luffy's Conqueror's Haki again, the entire Straw Hat Pirates crew cried themselves unconscious in the bathroom.
[However, this time Luffy controlled the dosage very precisely, only knocking Usopp unconscious for a few seconds~~~]
[A few seconds later, Usopp shook his head and shouted angrily, "Ah! What was that for??"]
[Luffy smiled: "Did you know? To become an excellent captain, Conqueror's Haki is standard equipment! When you have Conqueror's Haki, I'll agree to let you be captain!"]
["..." Usopp rolled his eyes.]
[Seeing that Usopp was no longer fighting for the captain's position, Luffy patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, go get some good rest. When I see Shanks again, you'll also see your dad."]
[As Luffy and Zoro walked to the door of the room, Usopp suddenly shouted, "Hey, Luffy... I haven't properly thanked you yet! I heard, really, thank you for helping me take my first step out to sea!!"]
[Luffy didn't turn back, but raised a hand in a "you're welcome" gesture, then walked out with Zoro arm in arm.] [A few days later, under Luffy's urging, Usopp also began to train in Haki. However, he is currently focusing mainly on Observation Haki.]
[Although there weren't many forest beasts on the ship for him to train Observation Haki, Buggy alone was enough!!!]
[Ever since Usopp started training Observation Haki, Buggy's slicing tasks were all handed to him.]
[And every time Buggy was sliced, he would try to actively split into pieces using the "reverse deduction method," while controlling many of the cut fragments to attack Usopp from various angles.]
[The two could be said to be helping each other and making progress together~~~]
[Ten-odd days later, the Going Merry arrived at the Baratie Floating Restaurant...]
––
[Ding!]
[Entering the prize quiz segment!]
Just then, a question appeared on the large screen.
[Question: What will Red Luffy and the others do next?]
[A: Pay the restaurant owner to buy a chef!]
[B: Directly kidnap a chef and leave!]
[C: Convince the restaurant owner to take the floating restaurant out to sea with them!]
[D: All join the floating restaurant as chef apprentices!]
[E: Eat their meal and leave without paying!]
Just then, the system's answer appeared.
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahaha, it's here!!! This time, I can answer the question!!!"
Shiki: "Hehehe, I can answer too!"
Gol D. Roger: "I can answer this time too. It seems the three of us are bound together, huh."
Kozuki Oden: "Captain Roger, and me, I'm with you all the way."
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufufufu, I got the last question right, and I can answer again this time, comfortable~"
Tony Tony Chopper: "Me too~~"
Soon, the 5-second quiz penalty protection mechanism time passed.
Marshall D. Teach: "B. That's more like Red Luffy's style!"
Monkey D. Garp: "A. My grandson isn't a pirate, how could he just kidnap someone?"
Edward Newgate: "Gurararararara!! Wasn't that Usopp just kidnapped and taken away? This old man also chooses B."
Monkey D. Garp: "How is that the same?"
Gol D. Roger: "Choose E! That seems like the correct answer!"
Shiki: "Idiot Roger, you definitely chose wrong. I choose A."
Kozuki Oden: "Choose D."
Gol D. Roger: "Pfft!! Oden, you're not using reverse psychology again, are you?"
Kozuki Oden: "Yes! Anyway, everyone is guessing, so I'll do the opposite, maybe I'll get one right."
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn it, it's hard to choose. I'll just guess C!"
Gecko Moria: "Heeheeheehee, I also choose C."
Kong: "D."
Sengoku: "Fleet Admiral Kong, that option is too unreliable..."
Kong: "I'm also using reverse psychology, I'm just guessing anyway."
Monkey D. Luffy: "I choose C!"
Nami: "E. That fits Luffy's style!"
Brook: "There's still one more chance for D, doesn't anyone want it? Then I'll take it. Choose D."
Not long after, as the answer countdown ended, the red-bordered screen continued to play.
...
["The dishes are all served, please enjoy~~~"]
[Sanji placed all the trays he was holding and balancing on his head onto the table, then elegantly left.]
["Eh? It's so delicious!!!!"]
[Luffy's eyes popped out as he stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth.]
[Usopp and Zoro heard this and also reached out.]
[The next moment...]
["Delicious! Delicious!!"]
[The two immediately began to feast, this was definitely the most delicious meal they had ever eaten in their lives!]
["Didn't you know? This Baratie is a very famous floating restaurant in the East Blue. Although the chefs here are all pirates, their skills are absolutely flawless!! Even many Marines come here just to taste the food."]
[In contrast, Buggy was clearly someone who had seen the world.] [He calmly ate with a knife and fork, unhurriedly.]
["The food here is too delicious!"]
[Luffy slurped up a mackerel, and didn't forget to lick the sauce from his fingers.]
[In comparison, he felt that what he usually ate on the ship was like plain white bread...]
[It's said that it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.]
[After tasting such a delicious meal, it's hard for anyone to forget it!!!!]
[Especially a pure glutton like Luffy???]
[Luffy looked at Buggy and replied: "Do you think the head chef here would be willing to sail with us?"]
["Impossible!"]
[Buggy immediately shook his head: "The head chef here, who is also the owner, used to be the famous Red-Leg Zeff on the Grand Line. Later, for some unknown reason, he lost a leg and has been running this floating restaurant ever since. He can't continue sailing on the Grand Line."]
["Ah... is that so..."]
[Receiving this conclusion, Luffy regretfully shook his head.]
["If you like to eat, let's just stay here for a few more days and eat a few more meals!" Usopp suggested.]
[Zoro pouted: "I think you're the one who wants to eat!"]
[Usopp laughed heartily: "It's mainly because the captain wants to eat, so I'll reluctantly eat along, hahaha!!!"]
[Luffy thought about it, and indeed, that was the logic!]
[So he immediately announced: "We're staying here for three months!!"]
[Thinking that he wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food after leaving, Luffy decided to eat even the future's share in advance. ...]
["Three months????"]
[Zoro, Usopp, and Buggy all looked at Luffy in shock.]
[Is he crazy?]
[Luffy tilted his head: "Is there a problem?"]
