Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

Smoker replied without the slightest hesitation:

"The pirates who enter the Grand Line from the East Blue are all too weak; I can't improve my strength there. I want to go to the New World to hone my skills!"

Being shocked by Luo Xing's single glance was a huge blow to Smoker, who always held himself in high esteem.

Smoker wants to become stronger and doesn't want to experience being treated like an ant anymore.

Aokiji agreed, patting Smoker on the shoulder and saying:

"The new world is a challenging place; you will improve quickly."

"By the way, I heard that the G5 branch seems to be increasing its troop strength recently in response to the increasingly tense new world situation."

“The G5 branch is one of our largest bases in the New World. Smoker, you can go there. I’ll take care of the arrangements.”

Smoker smiled gratefully and with a sense of accomplishment, and said:

"Thank you, Kuzan!"

……

……

Luo Xing was unaware that the look he gave Smoker back then had actually led to Smoker going to the G5 branch ahead of schedule.

Although this would allow Smoker's strength to improve even further.

But Smoker is destined to be even more tragic than in the original story.

Because now, G5's base commander, Vergo, is a member of the Luo Xing faction.

Luo Xing also fed Vergo a demon-level monster cell, causing the latter's strength to surge to the level of a three-calamity monster, enabling him to contend with an admiral-level powerhouse for a short period of time.

Smoker is utterly weak compared to Vergo now.

His experience was certainly not good.

Leaving those aside for now, let's just say that Luo Xing is currently cultivating in the intermediate-level Time Gravity Chamber.

Having experienced the battle with the Golden Lion and his travels to Skypiea and the East Blue, Luo Xing has gained a certain understanding of his Conqueror's Haki and swordsmanship.

He is putting this insight into practice and improving his skills.

As for the intermediate time gravity room, it is a product of Luo Xing combining the intermediate time room and the five times gravity training room.

Similar to the previous basic Time Gravity Chamber, the gravity multiplier and time flow rate have been enhanced.

In the original Time Gravity Chamber, one day of cultivation was equivalent to one month of cultivation in the outside world; now it's equivalent to one hundred days.

In other words, Luo Xing's three days of cultivation in the intermediate-level Time Gravity Chamber had the same effect as a year of cultivation in the outside world.

This is extremely beneficial to Luo Xing's growth in strength.

same moment.

The capital of flowers, the General's Mansion.

Zoro, who had locked himself in a gravity chamber to train as soon as he arrived in Wano Country, has finally emerged from his seclusion.

He went straight to the general's mansion, intending to find Luo Xing.

"Lord Luo Xing, Lord Luo Xing!"

"Big brother isn't here."

A clear, childlike voice answered Zoro.

She was an adorable little girl with her hair in a bun, bouncing around happily.

The little girl was jumping around while drinking a bowl of red bean soup, looking very happy.

Because of his seclusion, Zoro didn't know anyone in Wano Country except for Luo Xing, Yamato, and a few others. Somewhat embarrassed, he asked the little girl:

"you are?"

"My name is Ayu," the little girl replied with a smile.

Do you know where Lord Luo Xing is?

"I don't know, maybe it's on Onigashima. You can go there and take a look."

"Okay..." Zoro was about to turn around and leave when he paused and asked, "How do I get to Onigashima?"

Ayu counted on her fingers and said, "Start from here, go east first, then turn south, and when you see the port, take a boat west."

"understood."

Zoro set off immediately.

"Hey, wait!" Ayu shouted loudly from behind.

Zoro turned around in surprise: "What's wrong? Kid, are you asking about travel expenses? I don't have any money."

Ayu snorted:

"They weren't asking for any toll. They just wanted to point out that you were going the wrong way. I told you to go east first, so why were you going west?"

"Huh, isn't this Dong?" Zoro was a little confused.

"You don't know which way is north, south, east, or west, do you?"

"..."

"Are you directionally challenged?"

"..."

Zoro did not answer; not answering is tantamount to acquiescing.

Ayu clutched her stomach and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you're all adults, yet you're even worse at directions than me, big brother with green hair, you're really amazing!"

This immediately made Zoro blush and almost fly into a rage.

Just then, an old man with a long nose came out.

"Ayu, what are you laughing at, 553?"

That old man was Ayu's master, Tenguyama Hitetsu.

Hitetsu noticed Zoro's green hair and immediately recognized him:

"You must be Koushirou's apprentice, right?"

After returning to Wano Country, Shimotsuki Koushirou and Kousaburo reminisced with Tenguyama Hitetsu several times.

Of course, they couldn't help but mention Zoro, their proud disciple.

Zoro nodded and said, "Yes, who is this, Uncle?"

Fei Che said, "I am a friend of your master, a swordsmith."

"A swordsmith?"

Zoro's eyes instantly lit up like fire, and he asked urgently:

"Do you have any good knives? I'm in dire need of two good knives right now!"

“Of course I have a sword.” Hitetsu glanced at the sword at Zoro’s waist, “but there is only one sword that can match your Wado Ichimonji.”

"One is fine too!" Zoro said without hesitation.

"That's a cursed sword. Anyone who possesses it will die a violent death. Do you really want it?"

Upon hearing this, Zoro showed no fear; instead, he displayed an expression of extreme interest.

"A demon sword? I am a monstrous beast, and this is exactly the kind of sword I need!"

Tengu Mountain was shaken, thinking:

This disciple of Koushirou certainly had an extraordinary air about him.

Very well, that knife is just a gem under dust in my possession. For the sake of Koushirou and the others, I'll give it to this kid.

then.

Fei Che said, "Alright, come with me."

Zoro couldn't wait to follow, and Tama also came to watch the excitement.

On that day, Inuyama Hitetsu handed Zoro a sword with a unique pattern and strange design.

The moment Zoro touched the blade, a strange feeling suddenly washed over him.

It was as if the knife had its own consciousness and had formed some kind of connection with him.

Zoro, as if he had found a treasure, couldn't put it down and asked with burning eyes:

"What is the name of this knife?"

Tenguyama Feiche took a deep breath and forcefully uttered a few words:

"This sword is called... the Second Generation Kitetsu!"

"The Second Generation Kitetsu, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, truly worthy of being called a cursed sword!"

Zoro excitedly drew the second-generation Kitetsu from its sheath.
