I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

In the Dressrosa Kingdom, in the Toy House, a strong man was making a fuss in order to rescue the dwarfs who were enslaved there. The roar of the huge rocket launcher attracted a cadre from the Don Quixote family.

On the other side, Luffy and Enelu met Violet, and under her guidance, they broke into the outer tower under the palace, and met the cadre who blocked their way in the tower - Pica, the "serious" Stone-Stone Fruit user, who was wearing armor and a helmet with a cross visor on his head!

Luffy, relying on his recklessness, did not have the patience to study Pica's abilities and rushed to find Mingo.

Just as Luffy and his two companions rushed through a corridor, a stone giant walked out of the castle wall and quickly punched Luffy on the back as he was running with Violet in his arms. Enel, who originally didn't want to waste his energy here, finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and hit the drum on his back a few times.

"Damn it! Stupid mortal, you've completely pissed me off! 3000 million volts? Thunderbird!"

A large amount of electric arcs erupted from the taiko drum, forming a phoenix-shaped thunderbird that flew towards the stone giant at high speed. The stone man exploded instantly, and then he turned to Luffy and said, "Hey! Rubber monkey, you go first."

"Oh, Big Ears! I leave this to you!"

Afterwards, Luffy rushed to the second floor with Violet and rescued the toy soldier who was almost killed by Gladius, the user of the Boom-Boom Fruit. The three of them headed towards the palace together.

Unstoppable, Luffy and his three companions quickly reached the second floor of the palace. Just as Luffy was about to rush in and beat Mingo up, he was pulled down by the soldiers and waited for an opportunity. At the same time, they also discovered the previous king, King Riku, who was tied up there.

"Hey, Terraman is here too?"

Not long after, the soldier toy's body suddenly lit up and turned into a burly, tall, one-legged swordsman wearing a red cloak. After possessing a human body, he did not say hello to the two people next to him, but jumped and rushed into the palace.

……

In the underground trading area, heroes who were defeated in the arena gathered together and, under the guidance of the great god, began to head towards the toy factory.

A group of dwarfs were bandaging their hero, while a green-haired, cockscomb-haired fanboy beside them wept tears of joy, vowing to defend his idol once again. Robin ran into three familiar faces: Haku, the fish-man who had been defeated in Area A of the arena, and the other two...

"Sister Robin..." The girl in a short dress and a small hat threw herself into Robin's arms.

It was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. A rare expression of surprise appeared on Robin's face: "Kerla!! Sabo! Haku!"

"Long time no see, Robin." Sabo, wearing a top hat, a suit and holding a water pipe, smiled warmly.

"Why are you here? By the way, Sabo, have you seen Luffy?"

"The weapons shipped from this port are fueling the world's war, and we're here to stop it... Luffy said." Sabo smiled slightly as he spoke, "Hey, once we're done here, we'll go see him."

……

The arena was in uproar and filled with screams.

Zoro brought Rebecca back to the shattered arena and sheathed Raikiri. Only then did he carefully feel the legendary large sword. Just like when he got Kitetsu, he felt a familiar power on the sword.

"Thunder? Never mind... I won't study it for now."

Then he activated his observation Haki and sensed that Gion and Shiryu fell into a deep pit and fell into a coma.

Then he muttered to himself, "Is Sabo here after all? It seems Robin is out of danger."

Then he pointed at Diamanti, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries, and looked at Rebecca: "He...what are you going to do with him?"

Rebecca, who was holding the sword tightly, was suddenly startled: "You...how did you know..."

"Well, I'm very sensitive to murderous intent. If a swordsman who never hurts anyone suddenly develops murderous intentions towards someone, he must have a deep hatred for them."

Rebecca's face showed a constant struggle. Finally, she slowly put down the sword in her hand and let out a long breath: "Mother..."

But before she could finish her words, Zoro drew his Raikiri again and, in front of Rebecca's shocked eyes, swung the knife at Diamante. Then he put the knife away with ease, and Diamante died on the spot.

"Lord Diamanti!!" the audience screamed.

Zoro looked around, a fierce gleam in his eyes, and then he grinned: "Isn't this what you wanted? Fighting and bleeding."

Rebecca's eyes were filled with horror: "Why..."

"Ahem... I just suddenly remembered something. I shouldn't have stained your hands with blood. If you have a grudge, I'll help you get it avenged!"

Rebecca stood there in a daze for a long time, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and suddenly she sat down on the ground, covering her face and crying.

"Well, if you're unhappy, I can try to cheer you up."

? ?

Rebecca's sadness was interrupted unexpectedly. She wiped her tears fiercely, stood up resolutely, picked up the sword in her hand and pointed it at Zoro: "Thank you... But I must get that sword and then defeat Doflamingo!"

After that, Rebecca stabbed at him with a sword. Zoro grinned, dodged the sword sideways, and hugged her again: "Don't make trouble, you won't need this sword in the future. I'll take you somewhere."

"Eh? Ah..."

Then, in full view of everyone, Zoro picked her up, stepped on her right foot with her left foot, and ran straight to the King's Highlands in the distance.

The commentator was stunned: "The winner of this match... the winner..."

……

"Hey! Put me down quickly, where are you taking me?" Although it was the second time that Rebecca was taken flying, she was still a little panicked and didn't dare to look down.

"Didn't we agree on this? I will help you defeat Doflamingo."

"Hey??"

Before Rebecca could react, Zoro had already jumped her onto the sunflower field below the palace.

Looking out, you're greeted by a breathtaking sea of ​​blossoms. Large, vibrant sunflowers bloom in the sunlight, their stems rustling softly as the breeze blows by.

Zoro was very satisfied. Well... this should be considered a romantic place. Teacher Pei said that in a romantic place, as long as she is in a good mood, she can boldly do whatever she wants.

"This is... a sunflower field..." Rebecca looked around after she felt her feet were on solid ground.

"Hey, Rebecca, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Huh???" Rebecca seemed to have heard something extraordinary. Having been imprisoned in the arena for a long time, she had never heard of the Green Algae Hair's evil deeds. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she stumbled: "I... I'm only sixteen... Mr. Soldier won't allow it..."

You call this sixteen?

Then her voice gradually became softer: "At least wait until you are an adult..."

Ding! Successfully confessed your love to goddess No. 42 and was rewarded with a love value of +.

"Um... is this okay?"

"Ok?"

"Ahem, no, I mean let's talk about it after you come of age... Wait here for me, I'll go upstairs and help you deal with Doflamingo!"

With that, Zoro put his left foot on top of his right and headed straight for the palace.
