=========================================
Zoro sat there staring at his broken swords and felt a sudden bitterness rise in his heart.
He had lost.
He had barely left his master's dojo and already tasted defeat.
Silently, Zoro sheathed his Wado Ichimonji and said darkly, "There really are many people stronger than me.
Noir smiled. It was good that Zoro recognized his own shortcomings.
In the original story, Zoro fought without much pressure before meeting Mihawk, leaving no room for growth.
Noir leaned down and patted Zoro's shoulder, saying, "If you want to become the greatest swordsman in the world, you can't let failure defeat you.
Zoro's eyes immediately lit up and he said firmly, "Of course not.
After sheathing his Wado Ichimonji, Zoro looked at Noir and asked, "What is your name?"
Confidently, Noir replied, "Kyros D. Noir. I don't just want to be a great swordsman, I want to be the true greatest in the world!"
"The world's greatest?" Despite his defeat, Zoro felt his ambition grow stronger. He declared confidently, "I am Roronoa Zoro, and I will defeat you to become the greatest swordsman!"
Noir laughed heartily and said, "I hope you really can do that.
Noir didn't doubt Zoro's swordsmanship talent, but defeating him, especially with the help of the system, would be almost impossible.
"Meet an important character, Zoro. Rewards have been issued: Mastery of Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu, one red talent copy card, +10 to Swordsmanship."
Hearing the system's cold prompt, Noir was overjoyed.

Another red copy card and a ten point increase in Swordsmanship. Now, his swordsmanship had officially surpassed the 500-point mark, making him capable of fighting strong opponents even in the New World!
And Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu! Noir was confused and asked the system, "Is this the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu I think it is? From Rurouni Kenshin?"
Could the system actually reward powers from other anime?
"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu, which originated from the work Rurouni Kenshin, has been adapted by the system to be suitable for use in this world."
Noir was delighted. He had thought that the system could only give rewards from the One Piece world, but now even the swordplay from Rurouni Kenshin was available!
It seemed that he would have to find more characters from the original story to get rewards.
Seeing Noir's excited expression, Zoro asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Ahem, nothing." Noir noticed Zoro's tattered clothes and asked, "Are you out of money? Why do you look so shabby?"
Zoro, leaning against the wall, said gloomily, "I've spent all my travel expenses and now I don't know where to earn more."
Noir was stunned and asked, "Aren't you a bounty hunter now?"
"Bounty hunter? What's that?" Zoro asked, confused.
Noir explained it to him, and Zoro's eyes lit up as he said, "From now on, I'm going to earn money doing this. I'll be the strongest hunter in East Blue."
Noir pointed at himself with pride and said, "By the way, I am the strongest hunter in East Blue.
Zoro's face went dark under his green hair.
The proud Zoro pretended to be deaf, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
So Noir and Zoro traveled together for a while. Although Zoro was silent as a grave, Noir at least had someone to talk to.
Zoro, who liked silence, was almost driven crazy by this talkative guy.
Fortunately, after a while, Noir's ship discovered a village, and Zoro quickly ran off the ship to escape Noir's endless chatter.
Zoro smiled and waved to Noir, saying "Goodbye".
Noir reluctantly waved back at his brief companion.
With his only sword at his side, Zoro walked down the main street of the village and soon spotted a bustling tavern.
Zoro's eyes lit up. Although he knew he had no money, he couldn't resist going inside.
Upon entering the tavern, he asked for a drink at the bar.
The tavern owner, seeing Zoro's shabby appearance, sneered and asked, "Hey, do you have money? Don't eat and drink for free here."
Facing the owner's skepticism, Zoro calmly replied, "Ah... I don't have any money, not a single coin."
"Huh?..." The owner was about to get angry when suddenly, a loud noise erupted and the tavern door was kicked open.
A group of fierce-looking men burst in, grinning at the frightened patrons, "Hahaha, a bunch of weaklings! Hand over your money!"
Zoro frowned and asked the tavern owner, "Who are these idiots?"
The owner covered Zoro's mouth in fear and said, "This man has a bounty of 1.2 million beli. He's a pirate who kills and burns!"
Pirate? Hearing the bounty, Zoro remembered Noir's words and had an idea.
Here was his drinking money!
Silently, Zoro approached the pirates. The pirate leader saw someone approaching and yelled, "What are you doing? Hand over your money!"
Without a word, Zoro unsheathed his sword and made a quick slash.
The pirate leader, who had been boasting just moments ago, had a bloodline appear on his neck.
"Y..." The pirate leader fell to the ground, dead, with a terrified expression on his face.
The tavern fell silent. No one dared to speak, all eyes filled with awe as they looked at Zoro.
Returning to the bar, Zoro said, "Now I have money. Give me a drink!"
"S-sure, right away..."
Sitting on the chair, Zoro rested his chin and thought, "Bounty hunter, a convenient profession indeed.
Meanwhile, back on his ship, Noir had no idea about Zoro's actions. He looked anxiously at the sea in front of him.
Was he cursed by Zoro? Why did he realize he was off course after sailing for so long?
After dropping off Zoro and returning to his route, Noir took a nap on his ship, only to wake up to find that his ship had gone off course.
Where was he now?
Hmm? Something felt wrong.
Noir, with his heightened sense of weather, noticed that as he sailed into this area, the air seemed to grow thicker.
He soon discovered the reason. Not far from his ship, an eerie white fog had silently enveloped the area.
