Supreme Swordsman Zoro

Roronoa Zoro was a man with few talents but the ones he had were extremely peculiar compared to people with the same type of talents, his swordsmanship was his greatest talent with other few miscellaneous ones that even he didn't know he had.

As Zoro walked towards the village Popoko was lastly seen, he encountered quite a few law-breaking citizens with minor bounties of them like ten thousand bellies twenty thousand bellies, Zoro easily decapitated them with his swords and discarded their heads at the nearest marine base.

Afterward, Zoro already started to get the monicker of a demon bounty hunter, due to him decapitating his victims, Zoro took the advice from the first sheriff he encountered and decided to decapitate the bandits so it would make it easier for the people who he had to cash their bounty from.

Zoro didn't want to take in people alive as it would be more of a hassle than if they were dead, after walking through a few villages he finally reached the village Popoko was lastly sawed in and he entered the bar, the bar was full with people who were partying hard, there was a fat man with a green striped shirt and pants who had two giant lumps of meat in each of his hand as he bit large mouthfuls of them.

A red-haired man with a rather scrawny appearance who wore a white shirt and khaki pants and sandals was drinking at the bar as everyone else partied around, the man had red hair and a straw hat on his head.

Zoro's senses weren't truly unlocked yet as no one bothered to look at him he didn't feel any danger so he just entered the bar easily, he was pretty tall so no one decided to comment on him entering the bar even though he had a youthful face.

The barman was cleaning some mugs while he also served the partying men when one of them called over for more sake. Zoro approached the barman and asked him loudly:

"Do you know where this man is?" He fished out Popoko's wanted poster and placed it on the bar counter, the men who were partying ignored Zoro's words while the red-haired man continued to drink by himself.

The barman took a quick look at the poster and said:

"Popoko? that scoundrel didn't even pay his tab last time he was here if you are a bounty hunter be my guest and kill him, I think he said he left to camp in the nearby forest some kilometers away from the village, don't take my words on it he might have been lying I'm not sure." The barman shook his head as he explained but Zoro just left.

The red-haired man shook his head as he observed Zoro leaving the bar then muttered:

"Why does he remind me of that guy in his youth." He started to reminiscence about something that happened in his past as he sipped his drink from time to time.

The man's crew was oblivious to his change as they continued partying so hard the establishment almost crumbled down due to their playing around.

Zoro started to run towards the nearby forest, he already made a bit of money with the smaller bounties he got his hands on, after killing Popoko he would have enough for the dojo to not worry about food for quite a long while.

He finally reached the forest after a few minutes and started to look around, he tried to use his highly enhanced senses to find Popoko, he started to feel the breathing of the trees and the little beings inside the forest, after a while of keeping his eyes closed a smile appeared on Zoro's face as he muttered:

"Found you!"

Popoko was currently frying some wild game he caught in the forest when he was suddenly interrupted by Zoro's words:

"You are Popoko the sc.u.m? Come out here." Popoko chuckled to himself as he slipped some barbed gloves on his hands, the barbs were on the outside of the gloves along with some spikes for increased damage.

Popoko narrowed his eyes as he finally saw Zoro who finally left the tree's foliage, He never heard of youth like Zoro, three swords green hair?

Even though Zoro started to get some reputation it didn't travel through the wilderness to Popoko so he didn't know of Zoro's achievements, unfortunately for Popoko, his misinformation sealed his fate.

Zoro decided to bring out his top strength against a fellow with a bounty of five hundred thousand as he unsheathed his swords and put the third one in his mouth, Popoko decided to get the advantage and rushed at Zoro, but Zoro had a questioning look on his face, he felt Popoko was extremely slow, what was he trying to do by coming him at such a low speed?

Zoro suddenly appeared behind him as Popoko's head flew up into the air and a fountain of blood erupted from his body.

"Three sword style: Dragon decapitation." As Popoko's head flew up into the air an image of a dragon being decapitated appeared behind his flying head then disappeared just as quickly.

Zoro shook his head as he caught the head who had wide eyes and a horrified expression on its face then he muttered:

"So weak, very weak, have I already grown too much for this island?" Zoro didn't know what to say, his wish of leaving the island intensified, but there was also Kuina, she was his friend and he didn't want to hurt her feelings but he felt like he didn't grow as much as he liked to even though he fought her every day, he was starting to get accustomed to her fighting style and more fighting with her wouldn't increase his skill at all, even though he could still train himself his skill would stagnate which wasn't a good thing at all.

Zoro shook his head, it almost time for him to leave the island, even though he was still a bit too young for that he decided to leave at fifteen, he was now almost twelve so there were just three more years before he would leave.

Zoro got some cloth from Popoko's belongings and wrapped the head up, as he searched for things he didn't find anything particularly useful in his belongings, he found twenty thousand bellies and some miscellaneous things that weren't particularly useful for anyone. He left the body there and ran back towards the village where he cashed in his first bounty that exceeded one hundred thousand bellies.

The amount of money was quite high so they gave Zoro a briefcase for safekeeping. Zoro decided to get some food at the only bar in the city before he left the village to return to his.

The red-haired man was still there drinking, it hasn't even been thirty minutes since Zoro left and the barman chuckled at Zoro while saying:

"Tough luck kid?" Zoro shook his head and put some money on the counter then said:

"Give me some food, I'm starving!" The barman took the money then left to the back where the kitchen was, in there was a woman who was cooking, the barman told her:

"One plate extra size!" The woman nodded her head and started to cook the food, in no time the food was ready and the barman took it to Zoro who just started to wolf it down at high speeds, there was a c.h.e.s.t near where he stood on the stool after he finished his food he wondered what was in the c.h.e.s.t, it should be the belongings of the red-haired man who was drinking bottle after bottle of sake right?

Zoro opened the small c.h.e.s.t and saw a purple fruit with patterns on it, he smelled it then pinched his nose, it smelt horrible! He closed the c.h.e.s.t and shook his head wondering why would these guys have such a weird fruit in their treasure c.h.e.s.t. From the looks and smells of it, it looked poisonous!

He remembered seeing some similar fruit but with a different color in the forest where he previously lived and hunted, were those fruits related somehow?

Zoro decided to ignore that thought as he looked around at everyone drinking alcohol he decided to have some as well. He slapped the bar counter and put some money on it while saying:

"Give me some rum old man!" Thebarman chuckled and filled a big glass with rum then slid it over to Zoro, Zoro drank it in one gulp and somehow there was no reaction from him for a few seconds then he said:

"Ah, where has this sweet thing been all of my life?" As of now Zoro officially became an alcoholic.

The red-haired man chuckled at Zoro then said:

"Hey kid, this is your first time drinking, isn't it? want a contest?" Zoro looked at the red-haired man who wore a straw hat then nodded his head, he didn't want to lose in anything! Zoro put some more money on the counter and said:

"The drinks for this contest will be on me!" Food and drinks weren't particularly expensive as Zoro only used up to one thousand belli up till now and the bar prices were higher than grocery stores.

The red-haired man smiled at Zoro and started to drink with even more force than before, Zoro directly took a bottle from the barman's hands and started drinking from it, Zoro's alcohol tolerance was quite high as he was neck in neck with the man who was drinking from before he even came to the village.

Considering he was practically a child Zoro's alcohol tolerance was way above average, it could almost be called legendary!

After a few hours of drinking Zoro started to lose strength, considering he was just a child, even though a super developed and monstrous one he was still a child, but fortunately for Zoro, the red-haired man finally slumped on the bar counter and started to snore loudly!

Zoro hiccuped and had a triumphant smile on his face while the man's crewmates were already down and sleeping. Zoro decided it was time to leave, as he took his briefcase he started to leave the establishment falling here and there.

Zoro made sure his swords were still on him and then left the village, even though he slipped sometimes and fallen in some potholes he started to sobber up after a few hours. Zoro started to pick up the pace and after a while, he finally arrived back at his village!

He was directly met with Kuina at the entrance of the village who hurriedly hugged him then she pushed him back and put a hand towards her nose while saying:

"You stink, what have you done out there?" Zoro didn't take baths during his journey while he also drank quite a bit at the bar so he stank like a skunk right now.

Kuina grabbed Zoro by the arm and said:

"Ok it's time for a bath for you, and that's the money in the briefcase? Let's get it to father but first, you take that bath!"

After Zoro took the bath and washed his clothes in the river near the village he met with Koshiro and presented him the money. Koshiro smiled at the amount and gave Zoro twenty thousand bellies from it. Zoro didn't want to accept it but Koshiro continued to smile and shook his head indicating that he should keep the money.

Zoro decided to stop insisting and kept the money, it would be useful for him when he needed, but he didn't particularly care as he could just hunt someone for a bounty and make some quick cash if he needed it for food.

Kuina smiled at the both of them then asked Zoro about his journey and what happened in it. Zoro decided to tell her everything then continued slowly after he told her about everything:

"Kuina I think I will leave the village three years later, I think I'm stagnating staying here, I need to see the wider world after I travel the whole east blue I will go to the grand line!"

Kuina didn't say anything at his words but she looked at her father who just nodded her head at her, Kuina smiled at Zoro then she said:

"Can I come with you?" Zoro was floored by the question but he didn't give her an immediate response.

He decided to ponder the question slowly then he opened his mouth after a few minutes of thinking.
