Supreme Swordsman Zoro

Vivi paled as she heard the marine's words from outside, Zoro Luffy and Sanji started to do some stretching exercises, since the marines came it was time to leave. Zoro nodded at his crewmates and indicated it was a good time to leave.

Luffy started talking:

"Ok guys, let's go!"

Then he looked at Vivi and the wanted poster she held in her hands and said:

"Vivi you can come with us."

Vivi wasn't sure what went with her but she nodded her head and decided to follow the crew, there was nothing she could do anymore considering she had a bounty, royalties with world noble background wouldn't get bounties easily, that meant the bounty was issued by higher-ups above the marine fleet admiral!

Since she couldn't fix this she decided to follow her pirate friends, after all, she bonded quite a bit with them during their misadventures, and them helping her for no reason made her trust them a lot.

Luffy smiled as Vivi accepted his invitation then he motioned to her to jump on his back. It was time to run away and they needed to be extra fast so the slower crewmates had to jump on the backs of the faster ones.

Sanji took Nami Kuina took Chopper, Usopp took Kaya and Zoro was alone, Zoro would stay behind for a little while to take care of the marines while the others ran away.

Zoro made his way outside the palace and met with the marines that were outside, a pink-haired woman in a red-purplish marine captain suit with a fair face looked at Zoro, she was smoking a cigarette and had lipstick on her lips:

"Hina is surprised to see Demon Blade Zoro, Hina thinks he looks just like his wanted poster."

Suddenly she approached Zoro and tried to use her devil fruit powers on him which consisted of creating a cage around her opponent and trapping them. Zoro easily dodged and looked around to spot two more captains who didn't identify themselves, they both wore the marine captain outfits and had different hair colors, one blonde and one pink.

Zoro looked again and cleaned his eyes before he shouted:

"Coby and Helmopo?"

The blonde-haired man shouted in annoyance:

"Its Helmeppo Helmeppo!"

Coby smiled as he looked at Zoro then said:

"Zoro-san we meet again."

Hina eyes narrowed as she looked at the newly promoted captains then said:

"Coby Helmeppo, Hina thinks you guys know each other?"

Coby coughed a bit then said:

"Of course not Captain Hina-san we just met in east blue a long time ago you know uhh."

Hina decided to not follow on her thoughts it wasn't time for that and she wanted to attack Zoro again.

Unfortunately for her, she was way out of Zoro's league, suddenly Coby disappeared as he tried to attack Zoro from behind, he used one of the marines patented techniques Soru!

Zoro easily backhanded Coby away then blocked a sword slash from Helmeppo who appeared above him then easily threw him away he looked towards Coby and gave him a thumbs-up:

"You grew quite a bit."

Coby laughed then picked himself up from the ground, even though Zoro's attack seemed to be weak it rattled his bones quite a bit.

Hina eyes widened as she saw how easily Zoro took care of two Captain level marines and realized she couldn't do anything about him, he was on a whole another level, why did the higher-ups even send her here?

This was a vice-admiral or above threat!

Fortunately for her, Zoro didn't intend to do anything to her as he smiled then left too quickly for them to follow, maybe Coby could follow with Soru but there was no reason to as he couldn't defeat Zoro anyway.

Hina grunted then said:

"Even if we can't defeat Demon Blade we can destroy his ship! Where did you lastly spot his ship?"

Coby scratched the back of his neck awkwardly as he said:

"Umm, you see when we came we saw no ship..."

Hina was ready to tear the newly promoted Captain a new one when she heard that he saw no ship, how did they sail to Alabasta then? Don't tell me they swam, they had devil fruit users on their crew!

Before Hina could do anything else the remainder of the crew found The Going Merry where they left her, after a few minutes of waiting Zoro made his way over as well.

Suddenly a fire propelled tiny yellow boat came from inland at high speeds on it stood a shirtless man with blue shorts and orange boots, he had a necklace made of red beads around his neck and an orange cowboy hat with a smiley face and an angry face on it. His face was freckled. he also had a tattoo on his right upper arm that said A S C E with the S being crossed out.

If you would look behind him you could see a tattoo with purple crossbones of a man with a giant white mustache.

The man stopped his tiny boat and jumped on The Going Merry, Zoro immediately unsheathed his swords, this guy was strong, almost as strong as that Blackbeard guy a tiny bit weaker, however.

Ace put his hands up and tried to explain but Luffy tackled him down on the deck and shouted in joy:

"ACEEEEEE!"

Zoro sheathed his swords, it seemed Luffy knew this guy, Ace chuckled as he got up and said:

"Ok Lil bro, won't you introduce me to your crew?"

Luffy nodded his head and got up while introducing Ace to everyone:

"His name is Ace and he is my big brother, he became a pirate a few years before I sailed."

Ace smiled while bowing:

"Nice to meet all of you."

The crew gasped, Ace couldn't be related to Luffy, he was so well mannered!

Zoro coughed then said:

"Ok there are still marines out there for us, maybe we should you know start sailing and catch up with one another after that."

Everyone realized that Zoro's words were true, especially the new crewmate Vivi, she didn't know what would happen to her if she was caught by the marines...

On the wanted poster, it was written only alive, who knew for what reasons they wanted her only alive.

Vivi was a celestial dragon in her youth and she knew what the celestial dragons could do, she didn't want to have anything to do with such type of monsters.

Vivi sighed as she saw how The Going Merry started sailing down the river, this would be the last time she saw her country!

At the end of the river which started the sea a bunch of marine sh.i.p.s was waiting for them, Ace decided to help a little since he was on the ship anyway, he c.o.c.ked his fist backward and then threw it forward like one would do a normal punch, but of his fist came out of a giant fire that looked exactly like a normal fist!

The fire immediately destroyed the marine sh.i.p.s letting them go away easily.

Zoro narrowed his eyes, it seems Luffy's brother was a logia. Luffy's eyes became stars as he looked at his big brother and said:

"Ace you ate a devil fruit!"

Ace chuckled and said:

"Yeah more exactly the flare-flare fruit, I'm a fire-man!" To make an example he transformed his whole body into a fire then back into his normal form.

Ace then started to reminisce with Luffy while Sanji went to the kitchen to prepare launch for everyone when suddenly a scream was heard from the kitchen.

Sanji was looking at Robin who stood there reading a book, he had hearts in his eyes as he observed Robin's bodily proportions.

Zoro narrowed his eyes as he looked at Robin, he let her go why would she come here?

Robin smiled as she looked at Zoro then said:

"Hello there Mr swordsman we meet again."

Sanji didn't like being ignored but since she wanted to talk with Zoro he could only keep mum.

Zoro looked at her then asked:

"What are you doing here?"

Kuina came forward as well and glared at Robin then said:

"Yes, weren't you with Crocodile, why don't you go to jail with him?"

Robin chuckled and said:

"You should know that I won't simply go to jail if I'm ever caught." A sad glint appeared in Robin's eyes as she said that.

Luffy walked forward then said:

"You join my crew!"

Ace started laughing as he said:

"Just like in the old days huh Luffy?"

Robin became fl.u.s.tered at Luffy's request, he didn't ask her what was she doing here or who she was and he already wanted to join his crew? He was quite a simple man, wasn't he?

Vivi didn't like Robin at all because she worked for Crocodile but at least he didn't impede her progress much during her work for him so she could maybe forgive her if she decided to join Luffy's crew.

Robin realized that Luffy was serious when he asked her to join so she nodded at him then said:

"Sure Captain I will join your crew."

Luffy started doing a happy dance which was joined by Chopper, Usopp wanted to join the happy dance too but realized that it was time for his training so he started to lift some weights that were left around the deck.

Robin looked around the crew and realized that it was quite disorganized then looked over at Ace and her eyes widened when she said:

"What is the captain of the second division of the whitebeard pirates doing around here?"

Ace smiled at Robin then said:

"What is Nico Robin one of the most wanted by the world government doing in my little brother crew?"

Robin said:

"Touche"

Luffy looked at Ace then asked:

"You don't have your own crew anymore Ace?"

Ace shook his head then a smile appeared on his face:

"No but I joined Whitebeard pops, he is a great guy who I will make the pirate king!"

Luffy's face became red as he shouted:

"But I will become the pirate king!"

Ace laughed and said:

"Let's see little bro"

Luffy huffed then looked at Zoro who was training with Kuina and laughed at something Kuina said.

Vivi walked forward to Luffy and asked awkwardly:

"Luffy am I supposed to do anything around here? I would feel bad If I only stood around while the others trained."

Luffy nodded then said:

"Ask Zoro what to do, he trains everyone!"

Ace narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zoro, Luffy was the captain but Zoro did everything else a captain would, that was strange in Ace's perspective.

He walked forward to Zoro and Zoro stopped his training and looked at Ace then asked:

"Can I help you Ace?"

Ace wanted to test Zoro's prowess so he decided to spar with him so he directly asked:

"Are you up for a spar Zoro?"

Zoro shook his head as he said:

"On the ship? I don't think so we could destroy it rather easily."

Ace became fl.u.s.tered as he realized where he was he wanted to say something but he suddenly feels asleep as a snot bubble appeared at his nose.

Zoro looked at Ace with a strange expression on his face. Were all of Luffy's relatives this weird?

Zoro continued his training as Ace continued sleeping while Vivi asked Zoro for some training but he indicated to her that she should ask Kuina as his training wasn't good for her yet, her body was too weak to endure Zoro's training.

Ace finally woke up after a few tens of minutes and said:

"Ok then on the next island let's fight!"

Zoro smiled and said:

"Of course, I also want to see what the captain of the second division of the whitebeard pirates can do!"

Ace smiled at Zoro's words, his Observation Haki told him Zoro was quite strong and he still held back some strength on the surface.

After his fight with him he would tell Luffy why he set out, he needed to watch out for Blackbeard!

After a short while of sailing, they finally reached a small island where Zoro and Ace could unleash some of their strength.

Fortunately, the island wasn't populated with humans so they could unleash their full power!

Zoro smiled as he tied his bandana around his head then unsheathed all of his three swords, a peculiar aura appeared around him as the image of a skull materialized behind him.

Suddenly he slashed from where he stood and a long flying slash appeared which quickly made it's way to Ace, Ace used his fire fruit powers to quickly disperse the flying slash with a quick Fire-fist, when he looked at his fist he realized he has been cut as some small drops of blood dripped down from it.

Ace smiled as he looked at Zoro then indicated that they didn't have to fight anymore, Zoro was confused did Ace want to fight or not?

Zoro sighed as he sheathed his swords then tied his bandana back on his arm, Ace walked forward then said:

"I feel well knowing you're on my little brother's crew." Ace already knew what to think of Zoro after their first clash.

The crewmates didn't know what to say the fight was extremely short but also impressive to them at the same time.

Ace called everyone forward, he had to tell them about Blackbeard now, Sanji finished getting his hands on some of the local animal's meat to resupply and came forward as well.

It was time for Ace to disclose the truth about Blackbeard or also known as Edward D Teach.
