I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Two days later, at the restaurant on the sea...

With the sound of the cup falling to the ground.

Several diners looked out the window and exclaimed, "It's Chief Creek's pirate ship!"

Everyone was discussing why this big pirate came here?

……

Usopp, Johnny and others on the Merry urged Zoro in panic:

"Hey! It's Creek. Let's get away by boat."

Zoro remained unmoved, watching the dilapidated ship slowly dock next to the sea restaurant. With three parts of nervousness, three parts of anticipation, three parts of determination, and one part of uneasiness, he quietly waited for the legendary man.

I saw a tall and thin man carrying a weak man in golden armor into the restaurant.

Zoro remembered this part. The tall and thin man was called Akin, a subordinate of Creek. He was so poor that Sanji rewarded him with a meal. However, all the people on their ship were out of food, so Akin went back and brought a large army. Then, after the domineering Creek had eaten and drunk his fill, he turned against him and started to make trouble, asking the restaurant to cook for 100 people.

The restaurant chefs naturally couldn't stand it. During the fight with the chefs, Creek recognized that the boss was the once famous barefoot Zhefu, so he threatened him to hand over the nautical chart of the Grand Line. The strong man in golden armor just now was Creek.

……

After a long time, just like in the original plot, there was a commotion in the restaurant...

"I wonder if Luffy had a conflict with someone. Let's go in and take a look."

Zoro didn't see Nami, he knew Nami must be taking the opportunity to steal the ship. Forget it, let's give her a chance, only by solving Arlong can Nami truly return home.

As a senior employee of the group, Navigator cannot afford to make mistakes.

So Zoro called Usopp into the restaurant.

As soon as I entered, I saw Director Lu showing off. He was wearing a small apron and pointing at the well-fed and well-drinking man in golden armor, shouting:

"Wait!! I'm the future Pirate King!"

The chefs behind him trembled and whispered, "What? A handyman! Hey, get out of here now, or you'll be killed."

"I will never back down on this kind of thing!" Luffy said with a confident smile.

"Kid, what did you just say? I can pretend I didn't hear it."

"It's okay, you don't have to take it seriously. I'm serious." Luffy said with an indifferent attitude.

Apparently, this attitude angered the strong man in golden armor: "This is not a game!"

"Of course!"

Both sides are full of gunpowder.

"Are we going to start a war, Captain? Do you need help?" Zoro and the other two found a place to sit down and put on an arrogant look.

"Zoro, Usopp, you're here too?" Luffy was slightly surprised: "It's okay, just sit there."

Seeing the three people "exchanging pleasantries", the strong man in golden armor suddenly laughed out loud: "Are they your companions? There are so few of them."

Luffy retorted angrily, "There are still two of us."

Apparently he included Sanji in this.

Creek suddenly became furious: "Don't be ridiculous, kid! Without any intelligence, a fleet of 5,000 people was wiped out by the Demon Sea in just seven days."

Then he calmed down again: "You are too naive. I hate the way you joke around. If you want to die, just wait here and I will come back to kill you."

He lifted a huge bundle and said, "...Listen up, everyone. I'll give you some time to think about it. I'm going to take the food to my men and then return here."

He paused and said, "If you don't want to die, leave this ship and the Grand Line chart behind, and get out!"

After the strong man in golden armor went out, the tall and thin man Ajin, who was injured for unknown reasons, knelt at the door and apologized to Sanji, saying: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sanji, I didn't expect this to happen..."

It is obvious that Akin remembers Sanji's kindness in giving him a meal.

Then Ajin recounted their encounter with Hawkeye on the Grand Line.

The chefs in the restaurant are also actively discussing preparations for the battle.

But Zoro was completely oblivious to the noises around him. He knew that the man was coming, and if he didn't perform this scene well, he would surely die.

So as time went on, he became more and more nervous, staring at the ships outside the window, his palm holding the sword gradually becoming moist, and he kept reciting the lines in his mind, recalling every detail.

"Zoro?" Luffy called out to him after noticing something unusual.

At this moment, the huge, dilapidated warship outside the window suddenly broke into two sections. The collision between the broken wood and the plywood was deafening, and the sinking ship set off huge waves!

Although he was prepared, for some reason, when Zoro saw this scene with his own eyes, he felt the restaurant on the sea shaking violently due to the surging waves.

A deep feeling of powerlessness and fear filled his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly realized who he was! He had been training desperately to catch up with the original owner's strength, even though with the help of the system, his current strength might have far surpassed the original owner.

But he does not have the original owner's awareness of not fearing life and death. No matter how well he acts, it is still an act. How vicious the vision of the world's number one swordsman can be? Without the belief of becoming the strongest, Hawkeye will never show mercy!

Looking at the surging waves in front of them, Luffy and Usopp became worried about the Merry and ran to the deck.

Zoro also came back to his senses. He stood up and followed Luffy without thinking, muttering to himself: "Maybe I am indeed not as good as you, but I still have a trump card! I have to face what I have to face. If I back down today, I may never catch up with you."

"Brother!! Sister Nami has run away with all the treasures!" Johnny and Joseph ran over in the chaos and shouted to several people in panic.

"What!!" Luffy and Usopp could only scream in surprise and anger, then looked in the direction Johnny pointed, and could still see the silhouette of the Merry.

So Director Lu ordered: "Zoro, Usopp, you take Johnny and his crew's ship and bring back Nami and the Merry."

"Let's talk for a moment, I have something else to do!" Zoro's eyes became more determined as he stared at the center of the broken ship in the distance.

Then he no longer hesitated, silently chanted in his heart, and asked the system to exchange it for a swordsmanship gift package.

Following a prompt sound, countless sword techniques and experience in fighting against enemies were forcefully poured into his mind. His expression became dazed, and there seemed to be a dazzling white light in his eyes, forcing him to close his eyes. He stood there in a daze, as if his soul was wandering in space.

"Zoro?" Luffy was very confused.
