I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

One month later…

As the first rays of morning sun shone into Kowloon City, a peerless beauty was already sitting at the dressing table.

"Why did you get up so early?"

The peerless beauty glanced at the man who had just woken up with a reproachful look. This little bastard was getting bolder and bolder.

"What the hell, I told you to leave the island today, and you acted so recklessly last night."

A month ago, she followed Zoro's advice and ordered people to search for an uninhabited island suitable for living on the sea. As a result, the Nine Snakes Pirates searched the vast ocean for a whole month and finally found a primitive island with a good environment, which was even dozens of times larger than the current Nine Snakes Island.

However, after a detailed investigation, it was found that there were many large ancient creatures on the primitive island. Although the Nine Snakes Pirates were capable of dealing with them, it would take a lot of time. Therefore, Hancock had to go there in person. She also thought about taking Zoro with her. In this way, the efficiency would be higher. After all, Zoro's strength was far superior to hers.

However, ever since he broke through that layer of veil, this straight swordsman who only knew how to fight and kill has been thinking about how to do bad things all day long. If he is brought on board, he will definitely be unruly. The people on board are all the elites of this country, and their insight is not better than that of ordinary people, which can easily expose their relationship.

So, in order to leave the island today without being exposed, she rejected Sauron's rude request yesterday. Unexpectedly, this little bastard sneaked in at night while she was sleeping.

In response to this, Hancock could only helplessly say that it was all because she was too beautiful.

Zoro looked at the beautiful woman who seemed angry, so he stood up and hugged her, coughing: "Ahem, she is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the world, she is so beautiful even when she is angry."

"Problem, go go go!"

With Hancock's push, Zoro was pushed out of the door.

……

"Oh, I don't know how long it will take?" Zoro was bored after the electrotherapy.

The big-eared thief gasped, "If you're looking for a sparring partner so badly, come help me mine. Once the boat is modified, I'll take you to find that old man."

Because Zoro and Hancock's observation Haki are strong enough, the big-eared thief has no idea how serious the relationship between the two is. Every time Zoro leaves, he can intuitively feel the confrontation between two amazing auras. Therefore, he naively still thinks that Zoro is going to find a sparring partner.

The Big Eared Thief has been busy smelting copper ore these days. In order to modify the Bit, Daughter Island is a closed island with very backward smelting technology. Therefore, the amount of brass is not large, so the Big Eared Thief can only smelt it himself.

"Huh? Let me do the hard labor for you?" Zoro raised his eyebrows.

"Hey! Roronoa! You were the one who took the gold off my ship and gave it away. You have an obligation to help me rebuild the ship!"

Snapped!

"Wrong! That's my boat! Get lost!"

Zoro tidied his clothes, looked for the national defenders and headed towards Kowloon City.

……

"Hey, Margaret, the weather is nice today, perfect for fishing."

However, the kind-hearted Margaret behaved abnormally. She did not greet him politely as usual, but left quietly and quickly.

Hmm? Did I say something wrong? Zoro looked up at the sky. It was indeed a sunny day.

Confused about the situation, Zoro looked at the tall man walking towards him.

"Ahem, Everandra, have you grown a little taller again?"

However, the shy tall guy, with blushing cheeks, fled quickly as if avoiding the plague god, and apologized quietly: "I'm sorry..."

Huh? Did I say something wrong again?

So, unwilling to give up, he activated his observation Haki and found Kikyo, who was on patrol. She was usually the quietest but always had the highest reward value. It was precisely because Kikyo was quiet that he would always talk to her more in order to gain her love value.

"Hey, Kikyo, your eye makeup looks really good today. It matches your temperament very well."

However, Kikyo turned around with an expressionless face.

"Hey!" Zoro grabbed Kikyo's arm in a hurry and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Let me go!" Kikyo looked around the jungle vigilantly.

"Hmm? What are you worried about?"

"Lady Snake said we are not allowed to speak to you while she is away."

"what?"

Damn it, are you worried about me? You want to destroy my foundation!

"Let me go now. If Lady Snake finds out, I will be punished."

"She dares!" Zoro was immediately furious. Just wait and see how I'll deal with her.

Zoro's anger, however, made her read a different meaning. After all, in her eyes, Zoro had contradicted Lady Snake twice for him. Even as cold and beautiful as she was, she couldn't help but blush: "You...you should stop contradicting Lady Snake all the time. I...I don't want you to be affected by me...So, before Lady Snake comes back, it's better for us not to meet..."

"How can this be done!"

It would have been fine if Hancock was here, after all, she had the highest love value. Now that she is gone, and the cadres of the Nine Snakes Pirates are gone too, only these few national defenders can make money.

Kikyo gave him a strange look: "Snake-sama may only be away for a few days."

"No, I can agree with her on everything else, but not on this matter." Zoro was angry.

Kikyo hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's meet secretly at night."

"That's fine too...huh?"

"Why don't you let go? Let's meet here tonight." Kikyo was a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Ding! The moon is above the willows, and we meet after dusk. Reward: Love Points +100.

Hearing the system prompt, Zoro let go of his hands in a daze.

"Fool!" Kikyo looked at Zoro's dazed look and obviously misunderstood him again. She left a word and disappeared into the jungle.

Zoro finally came to his senses. No... this girl is not right. Why did she suddenly become like this? Could it be...

He quickly sat down, opened his little notebook and began looking for notes about Kikyo.

"Number 24 Kikyo—she's quiet and always looks the part. She has the prestige of a captain. When she speaks to her, other national defenders will deliberately avoid her."

Then, she carefully added another line at the back, as she liked people praising her eye makeup.

Then, he confidently closed the little notebook, went to the beach, and began to watch the tide and refine his sword.

……

In the jungle at night, the moonlight is mottled, birds are singing, cicadas are chirping, and the breeze is blowing, making it particularly cool.

Facing the graceful figure walking out of the jungle, Sauron moistened his throat and said, "Ahem, your slender phoenix eyes are so beautiful."

Kikyo, however, changed her usual cold demeanor and boldly threw herself into Zoro's arms, still drunk.

Zoro was stunned again. This is very unlike Kikyo. Where is your coldness?

Kikyo looked up at the stunned Zoro and chuckled, "How long have you been waiting here, idiot?"

"Just...didn't specify the time during the day. I've been waiting here since the evening."

Kikyo blushed: "...I had a few drinks with Margaret and the others. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Well, is today a day worth celebrating?"

Kikyo didn't say anything, but just boldly looked into his eyes.

"How...um..."

Before he could speak, her hot red lips blocked his mouth. Although it was clumsy, it made Zoro feel the heat in her heart.

Although he was very moved, Zoro quickly regained his sanity and quickly separated from Kikyo: "Kikyo, listen to me, I and..."

Suddenly, he remembered what Hancock said, that their relationship was not easy to expose, especially in this country, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"What do you want to say?" Kikyo seemed to sense something, and the heat in her eyes gradually faded away.

"...You and I, aren't we moving too fast..." Zoro immediately changed his words.

Kikyo felt a little aggrieved. Ever since Zoro first came to the island, under the constant impact of his top-level observation Haki, Kikyo had left this man's image in her mind. Usually, Zoro spoke little to her because he didn't know what to say, and she could also see that Zoro was usually very embarrassed to talk to her.

So, worried that the night would be a dull occasion, she hesitated for a long time before drinking some wine to give herself courage.

So, the usually cold and beautiful girl's eyes gradually became moist: "You don't think I'm the kind of shameless woman, do you?"

Zoro was a little overwhelmed: "Of course not."

"Then don't talk! Kiss me!" Kikyo closed her slender phoenix eyes, and two clear tears flowed down her cheeks.

Seeing the cold and beautiful woman who once drove him away with a bow and arrow crying, his heart suddenly softened and he couldn't help but kiss her.

With Platycodon's enthusiastic response, the jungle soon became full of spring. Although Platycodon was not as strong as Hancock, she was as wild as a cheetah, and a straight man also completed his true transformation at this moment.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Platycodon collapsed to the ground.

Ding! Have a deep conversation with girlfriend No. 24 and receive a love bonus of +1000.

The scumbag stared at the mottled moonlight and hesitated for a long time.

"Kikyo."

"Um……"

"Actually, between Hancock and I..."

"I can guess a little... otherwise Lady Snake wouldn't have given such an order, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"then you……"

Kikyo covered his mouth and interrupted him: "I can be the captain of the national warriors because I am a few years older than them, but my talent is not as good as Margaret and the others. In a few years, they will surpass me, so... it is difficult for me to become a warrior of the Nine Snakes Pirates and leave this island. I know you will leave sooner or later. Instead of living alone like this, leave behind a few memories tonight... From now on, we will pretend that this incident never happened."

After saying that, she was about to get up and leave, but Zoro immediately pulled her back into his arms: "I'll take care of Hancock. Since you're already mine, I can't just pretend nothing happened."
