I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

In a remote village in the East China Sea, the screams of three little ghosts echoed: "Pirates are coming!!"

On the shore north of the village, a man and a woman looked at the departing ship with smiles of anticipation and satisfaction.

On the edge of the sky, auspicious clouds are floating soft and lightly, and two seagulls are dancing gracefully. Their singing is clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature, echoing on the vast sea.

A ship not far away slowly sailed across the shimmering sea. Waves of cheerful cheers emanated from the ship, carried by the sea breeze and drifting through the air. Those voices were filled with joy and excitement, as if celebrating something...

"For a new ship and new companions..."

"cheers!!"

Yes, Zoro got on the Advance Merry as he wished, and looking at the wide deck meant that he could start a self-disciplined life.

And the great god Usopp also boarded the ship smoothly, just like in the original plot.

The trip was fruitful, so Mr. Lu organized the second board of directors.

The spirit of the meeting is as follows:

First, the sponsorship plan was successfully completed, and the wealthy businesswoman Ms. Keya's assets were injected at no cost. Although Ms. Keya sent personnel to participate in the company's daily management and decision-making, the relevant personnel did not interfere with the company's financial management, and no investment returns or shares were promised to Ms. Keya. Strictly speaking, it was still a gratuitous donation, which was very nice.

Secondly, we welcome new employees to join the company. New employees are closely related to the donations obtained this time, and their position assignments need to be carefully considered. Taking into account their personal abilities, Vice President Suo suggested that they be temporarily assigned the position of head of the group's trade union, responsible for daily active atmosphere, corporate culture construction and other matters.

Third, the group is expanding rapidly and everything is looking good, so it must have a loud name and a striking logo.

So, Director Lu took up the pen himself and drew a crooked and sloppy skull that looked like it was wearing a straw hat.

Fortunately, our group has always adhered to a democratic approach, so it was unanimously opposed by everyone.

Therefore, the new union leader Usopp actively devoted himself to the construction of corporate culture and drew a skull with a long nose.

This employee, who weighs 100 kilograms but has 99 kilograms of rebellious nature, was strongly condemned by everyone.

In desperation, the union leader picked up his pen again and drew a rigorous straw hat skull. After everyone agreed, it was confirmed as the group's logo. Director Lu was also very satisfied and announced that the Straw Hat Pirates were established!

Afterwards, everyone began to test the various functions of the new fixed assets. The union leader showed amazing accuracy when testing the gun. Therefore, Director Lu unilaterally announced that the union leader would also serve as a sniper.

Finally, the next step of development plan. Employee welfare has always been Mr. Lu’s biggest concern. Mr. Lu proposed to recruit a chef. This matter cannot be delayed and must be put on the agenda.

With this, the second board meeting concluded successfully.

Taking into account this meeting, Navigator rarely spoke in order to strengthen information communication within the group, promote team collaboration, and advance the construction of internal control systems.

So, Vice President Suo said, "Hey, Nami, good morning!"

……

"You pirates! Get out here! I'm here to take your heads."

At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door at an inopportune time.

Vice President Suo was furious! He pushed open the door and asked, "Who is this little jerk who dares to interrupt me and my woman?!"

!!!

"Brother Zoro?"

"Oh, it's Johnny... Even you can't interrupt me chatting with a woman!"

Bang Bang!

"Woo woo! I was wrong! Brother Zoro, I didn't know it was you on the boat, let alone you were chatting with a woman." Johnny, who was familiar with Zoro's habits, had two big bumps on his head and shed tears of grievance.

"Hmm? Is he someone you know?" Director Lu took Nami and Usopp and stood on the fence at the door of the conference room to watch the show.

"Well, he used to hang out with me for a few days when he was a pirate hunter." Zoro reminisced for a moment: "Come to think of it, shouldn't you be with Joseph?"

"Well...Joseph is sick."

"sick?"

Then, Johnny carried Joseph out of the boat with a blue face and bleeding from all seven orifices.

Johnny burst into tears: "A few days ago, he was still full of life, but for some reason his face suddenly turned pale, and he often fainted... Later, his teeth fell out, and his old injuries recurred, and he bled profusely."

"I didn't know what I could do, so I just let him rest on the rocky mountain. Then... this ship opened fire..."

!!!

Luffy and Usopp opened their mouths wide, surprise and embarrassment written all over their faces, and then apologized sincerely: "I'm...I'm sorry."

Johnny's train of thought is very strange: "Let bygones be bygones! If an apology can solve the problem, there will be no need for the police."

It's just... quite heartbreaking.

"The names of Joseph and Johnny have frightened many pirates. Why would a partner who has been together for so many years... Brother, he is going to die..." Johnny cried bitterly.

"What an idiot!" Nami cursed upon seeing this.

Johnny angrily picked up the knife: "How dare you laugh at my partner's death..."

Nami said helplessly: "Luffy, Usopp, there are some limes in the kitchen, go squeeze some orange juice."

Then she explained, "It's scurvy. If you wait, you can recover in a few days."

"Really? Sister-in-law!" Johnny was very excited.

?

"Who is your sister-in-law?"

"If the female pirate who has met Brother Zoro is still alive miraculously, you should have promised Brother Zoro." Johnny touched his chin wittily.

Facing Nami's glare, Zoro scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I'm not!" Nami, now a fish-man, roared, then continued, "In the past, sailors often suffered from this terminal illness. However, the cause was simply a lack of nutritious fruits and vegetables. Older ships didn't carry well-preserved fruits and vegetables, so this became a terminal illness."

"So amazing, like a doctor!" Luffy was surprised.

"I've long thought you were a capable woman." Usopp said with an air of discernment.

Nami once again transformed into a fish-man and roared, "Can you please have some common sense of navigation? If you keep going like this, you'll be killed sooner or later!"

Meanwhile, Joseph, having drunk the orange juice, was already jumping around in life. "I've taken in nutrients! I'm resurrected!"

Johnny on the side also cheered: "Ahhh! That's great!"

Nami turned her fish mouth towards them: "Is there anyone who heals so quickly??"

Please Oda come out and explain.

"I forgot my registration number! My name is..."

The two of them suddenly became extremely serious, chins set, and introduced themselves coldly:

"Johnny!"

"Joseph!"

"We are fellow pirate hunters like Brother Zoro. Nice to meet you all, brothers and sisters-in-law! Please give us your guidance!"

"I've already told you, it's not your sister-in-law! Who else could it be that perverted girlfriend!!" Nami was almost broken down and continued to roar.

Unexpectedly, Johnny shook his head and said seriously: "Brother... he is not a pervert."

Nami was very disdainful: "Not a pervert? If he's not a pervert, would he pursue a girl as soon as he sees her?"

Zoro held his forehead and asked, "Can't you change the subject?"

Johnny still shook his head: "I once heard a saying, if you can reach the extreme of love, you can reach the extreme of swordsmanship!"

?

What is this? Zoro looked at Johnny with surprise and anticipation.

Joseph echoed, "Brother Zoro is obsessed with swordsmanship. He must be pursuing a high level of swordsmanship!"

Then Johnny actually shed tears of emotion: "That's right! Brother Zoro is such a man who, in pursuit of the strongest swordsmanship, disregards fame and fortune, doesn't care about other people's opinions, and never explains!"

? ?

Nami turned to look at Zoro, who was in shock, and said suspiciously, "Really?"

Before Zoro could react, Johnny started to answer: "Of course, sister-in-law, may I ask, after you agreed to Zoro's pursuit, has Zoro done anything inappropriate?"

Joseph said coldly: "I dare say not. A swordsman like Brother Zoro must be loyal only to the way of the sword."

Nami thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make some sense. Apart from the annoying three questions every day, he seemed quite aloof and seldom talked to her.

If Zoro knew what Nami was thinking, he would definitely be in tears. What a misunderstanding! I really don’t know what to say.

But at this moment, his heart was already in turmoil! Damn, these two brothers, what talent! They are comparable to Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. Am I not explaining that? I don’t know how to explain it! Can you help me make it up? Such talents can actually be used by me!

"It seems not... This... can't really be a kind of practice?" Nami still looked at Zoro suspiciously, as if she wanted him to answer in person.

At this time, Zoro adjusted his facial expression. He walked to the bow silently without any sadness or joy, looked at the vast ocean, and stood with his hands behind his back!

"Only when one is at the peak of emotion can one be at the peak of swordsmanship!" Zoro paused, as if savoring the experience. "I originally disdained to explain myself to the world, but I didn't expect you to see through me. You're truly worthy of me... Johnny, Joseph!"

"My master once told me that the strongest sword should be able to protect what you want to protect and cut off everything you want to cut off. A sword that hurts everything it touches is not a true sword."

"Unfortunately... I still can't comprehend the deeper meaning. So, I can only find the thing I want to protect first. Johnny, Joseph, perhaps what Master meant is what you said - only when one can reach the extreme of love can one reach the extreme of swordsmanship!"

"Whether it's loneliness or misunderstanding, what I pursue is never these, but..."

"The Strongest!!"

Oscar Soying's words are sonorous, and a sense of pride between heaven and earth arises spontaneously!

"As expected of Zoro!" Usopp and Luffy stood in awe.

Johnny and Joseph were already crying and hugging each other: "Brother!"

Even Nami, who was harassed by the three questions every day, felt ashamed after hearing this. She remembered that she often called him a pervert and whispered, "I'm... I'm sorry, Zoro... I didn't expect... I shouldn't have said that to you..."

Ding! Thanks to your best friends' cooperation, Girlfriend No. 3 has forgiven your ridiculous past, rewarding you with +5000 Love Points.

Holy shit! Guapi Tongzi, you call this a good brother?

"Johnny, Joseph, I heard that you two don't have a son." Following a prompt tone, Zoro blurted out.
