9 Shimotsuki Village and Sparring with Zoro
======================================================
a few days later in the morning at sea somewhere in east blue
======================================================
A few days ago, I told Ace, Sabo, and Luffy that I would set sail for a couple of days to meet new places and that I would come back, they kept asking me to go along but I refused and I said that they could only go with me if they were strong enough because the sea is too dangerous for a bunch of children (not that I can say anything), Sigh...
that day even though they knew they would not win they fought with me in one vs one, in two vs one, in three vs one, all day until they could not stand and very reluctantly agrees to stay but they kept saying that someday they too would set sail and I could not stop them, thinking about it I gave the same idea that they had before in the manga/anime but just that much earlier.
"How about you just go out to the sea when you turn 17 years old?", well, that way I'm sure they'll be quiet until I come back, maybe if I can get enough points before that happens I can buy the Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit)
for Ace in his seventeen-year birthday for him to get accustomed faster and to have a greater mastery with his powers.
======================================================
Flashback ( A/N: I LOVE FLASHBACKS XD (being sarcastic) )
======================================================
That same day, my first butterfly effect happened sooner than I imagined, Ace stole a bottle of Dadan's sake and called us four to drink as much as I know what he's going to say it's still nice to hear being there.
Ace:
"Well, let's just leave it until the times come. Maybe we'll set out independently"
Luffy:
"Oh, you stole that from Dadan!"
Ace:
"Did you guys know?! We can become brothers if we exchange this cup of sake!"
Luffy:
"Brothers? Really?!"
Ace:
"When we became pirates, we might not be on the same ship but our brotherhood will always be with us! Wherever you are, whatever you do, we'll always be bonded together!".
Everyone gets their sakazuki(small red sake cup)
Ace:
"So from now on, We are brothers!"
everybody toast and drink laughing
"Yeah!!!"
That was so cool watching alive my dear little brother win new brothers.
======================================================
With my Observation Haki activated I'll sail around and see if I can find the island around, from time to time some sea monsters attacked me on the way I took the opportunity to test the powers of the Kuukan Kuukan no Mi (Space-Space Fruit)
it looks like I can make some kind of distorted space which is solid and I called it the "Void Shield" I can also create a "barrier space" around my enemies, with the barrier's size is determined by me, anything within the barrier is pulled towards its center, leaving only those parts that remained outside the barrier which was pretty grotesque,
I decided to call this blow "Kamui" because it's just like the Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan and I can also imbue the power with my armament Haki into the swords to cut harder which leaves the blows much heavier and cuts the air which opens a gravitational field capable of crushing the things it touches and hurt Logia users.
The island on which the village of Zoro stands must be very close by, as far as I remember in the manga/anime Dragon, Luffy's father went to the island and after a few days appeared in the city of the kingdom of Goa. Not finding I decided to follow some fisherman's ship around the region seems to have worked, after a few days following the fishermen the island is in sight and is really close to Dawn Island you have to sail and follow to the right path to find it, I arrived after three days in the morning.
Docking my boat in the harbor and went to the Shimotsuki Village, on the way to the village I defeated some thugs and took their money, taking advantage of the inventory I sold some meats of the sea monsters that I killed on the way I got 100,000 belies It's not much, but it helps.
The village looks like a Japanese village of the Sengoku Era with scattered rice fields, houses all made with small ornaments, and shops with some flags in front of the doors, I stopped at a small restaurant to hear if there was any rumor about Zoro rolling around. Two elderly gentlemen were drinking and commenting that in the dojo they have a super-strong boy who manages to defeat the adults in the art of the sword.
"You heard about that little green-haired boy from the dojo he managed to defeat his two veterans"
"I heard about that but you knew he was going up to the mountain all morning and doing exercises with huge boulders until the end of the afternoon"
It seems like I found him.
On the way to the mountain I heard some more rumors about Zoro, it seems that besides his master Koushirou and his master daughter Kuina no one else can defeat him in the art of the sword
I'm starting to get excited, I'll invite him to a sparring match. if I can make friends with him I think I can get him to believe me about Kuina's accident when I tell him.
Climbing the mountain I see that there is a place that has a view of the village and I hear grunts coming from somewhere near there
arriving in the place I look for where the noises come from and I find Zoro doing squats holding a massive boulder over his head as if he was not holding anything, I approach
"Are you Roronoa Zoro that everyone in that village is talking about?"
He stops exercising. He looks at me with a serious face
"It depends. Who asks?"
not waste time I speak my goal income find him
"My name is Monkey D. Jack(alias), I was sailing around and decided to stop on this island to rest some time then I heard some rumors about a boy with green hair, almost my age able to defeat adults in the art of the sword so I was interested and came looking for a sparring"
he stood looking at me for a few moments
"you just found him and about the sparring, I accept!, Do you want to do the sparring now or later?"
(Of course, I want to do the sparring now You are THAT Roronoa Zoro THE ONLY ONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD OF ONE PIECE THAT IS A USER OF THE THREE FUCKING SWORDS STYLE)
I thought but I will not say it, I'll look like a fanboy, so
"how about during the afternoon that from what I can see you are in the middle of your morning training"
he put the massive boulder on the ground did some stretches
"no, I already finished the morning exercises we can spar now" so I smile
"Okay, now then".
"wait a moment I'll get my shinais"(wooden sword used in combat in kendo matches)
seeing him go get his shinais I took my bōkens from the inventory and did some stretching exercises, he came back quickly
"are you ready?"
"yes, come!".
With his two shinais he came running up to me and jumped and with the moment of the leap attacked making a spin "haaa!!!" watching him jumping at me I took a few steps back and attacked with the right sword aimed at the belly
"not so fast! Here!"
he defended but was sending a few meters back, he looked at me
"You are good! Then let's get serious"
placed a third shinai that was on his back in his mouth
I screamed in my mind
"FUCK!!! THIS IS IT!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THAT!!! TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO FIGHT AGAINST THE SANTORYUU!!! THE THREE SWORD STYLE!!!... OH, SHIT!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!.
Seeing he put the shinai in his mouth means he's taking me seriously so I'm going to test the Hiten Mitsurugi style against Zoro's own style.
Without saying anything I ran until I was about a meter away from him and I used Soru to disappear and appear behind him in the air and I attacked it using the 1st technique of the Hiten Mitsurugi style: Ryūtsuisen (Dragon Hammer Flash) I took advantage of his delayed turnaround and the momentum of my fall to a strengthen two-handed sword swing that brings down on his head and left shoulder.
Even though he was late he still managed to defend himself he tried to use one of his techniques the Tora Gari (Tiger Hunting) but the force of my blow was very strong due to the height and extreme speed that I was reaching then I hit his shinais and breaking them ending the fight.
He was surprised that I defeated him so easily, he was angry for a few moments but ended up accepting defeat
"you're strong I seem to lack in training but I will not give up and beat you before you leave the island"
while raising his hand to do a handshake, returning the handshake
"anytime! Let's see if I have gained any experience in this fight."
