"Pirate hunter? Are you planning to expand your bounty hunter team, little brat?"
In the smoke-filled office, Smoker looked at Dewey who was sitting opposite him, biting two cigars and spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes, I came back to Donghai to visit my relatives this time and happened to see a good seedling in the newspaper." Dewey nodded and said, "We got two famous swords from Golden Lion, and he is a three-sword swordsman. It just so happens that we need manpower. Maybe this is the guidance of fate."
As the saying goes, the child of destiny is the nemesis of the villain, and the time traveler is the nemesis of the child of destiny.
Perhaps only Dewey could describe poaching as the guidance of fate.
However, Smoker did not have any doubts and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you investigate."
"Thank you for the trouble." Dewey thanked him politely.
Although Dewey can ask the Navy for help when he needs it with the badge awarded by the Navy Headquarters, this badge is useless to Smoker, who is Zephyr's student and a problem child of the Navy Headquarters.
If Smoker wanted to, he could just ignore Dewey.
Since he agreed to help, it means that Smoker has a good impression of Dewey.
Even he himself did not expect that this young man, who he once thought was ambitious and would definitely become sea garbage in the future, would actually make a name for himself in the bounty hunting industry and be recognized as the world's strongest hunter.
It has to be said that the Golden Lion is worthy of being one of the three kings of the last era.
Even though he had disappeared for nearly twenty years, his reputation still made Dewey famous, raising the value of the world's number one bounty hunter from the initial gossip title to second only to the world's number one swordsman and those overlords who enjoyed various strongest titles.
Let's get back to the topic.
Smoker didn't keep Dewey waiting for long, and quickly asked his men to find the naval base where Zoro had recently redeemed the bounty.
"The last time the pirate hunter exchanged his bounty was half a month ago. The exchange location was at the naval base in Baiwansila Town." Smoker picked up a pen and circled a certain place on the East China Sea map. He then handed it to Dewey and said, "If you want to find him, you can start looking from here."
"Thank you."
Dewey took the map and stood up to say goodbye.
Smoker did not stand up to see him off, but stared at Dewey's back through the white mist, wondering what he was thinking.
Dewey walked out of the naval base with a map in hand. His domineering aura instantly covered the town of Rogue, and he quickly locked onto Kalina and the other girl who were shopping.
They were purchasing various specialties in the commercial street, preparing to take them back to give to the villagers of Kokosia Village.
After Du Wei found us, he also joined the purchasing team.
Before the three met, Dewey and Kalina were both alone, and only Nami had her own concerns. The villagers of Cocosia Village also regarded Nami as their own family.
Therefore, as they have become each other's inseparable half, Dewey and Kalina naturally regard Nami's family as their own family.
They have tens of billions of dollars, and they have finally come back to the East China Sea, so they naturally cannot let their families down.
So Dewey and his two companions bought all the precious specialties of Rogue Town and hired a group of workers to move them onto the ship, almost filling up the entire cabin. Only then did Dewey and his two companions leave Rogue Town and begin looking for Sauron.
Although the East China Sea is one of the largest of the four oceans, it is actually not as big as imagined.
Especially since the person they were looking for was the world's most directionally challenged man who couldn't find his way home and had to wander the sea, making a living by hunting pirates.
When the outline of Baiwansila Town appeared in the sea in front of Dewey and the other two, and it was still far from the shore, Nami, with her amazing range of perception, immediately found the man with the unique hair color.
She looked at Dewey in surprise and said, "Boss, the person you are looking for last exchanged money half a month ago, and he is still there now. Does he know that we are looking for him?"
"…"
Dewey didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
As expected of a man who couldn't even find his home, it would be difficult for him to leave an island without someone to lead him. Maybe he would just leave directly, turn the rudder or put down the oars to be distracted for a moment, and the boat might return to its original place at any time.
When it comes to directionality, Dewey would say that Zoro is the best.
"Huh? Boss, that pirate hunter seems to be in trouble."
When the sailboat docked, Dewey just took out Ying Ju and Ku Mu, and then he heard Nami's voice: "He was ambushed by a pirate group and is being besieged. Boss, do you want me to use thunder to help him?"
"That's not necessary."
Dewey shook his head and said, "With his strength, except for a certain swordsman's nemesis, no pirate in the East China Sea can be his opponent."
After all, Zoro is a hard-working genius who has been practicing sword since childhood. His strength has reached a bottleneck very early. What he lacks now is only the pressure of death. He can comprehend the breath of all things and step into the realm of swordsman at any time.
In the original work, Zoro had just entered the Grand Line. Apart from bullying some bounty hunters at the first stop, he realized the Breath of All Things in Alabasta. He was able to fly with his sword in Sky Island, and two years later he became a swordsman who mastered a two-color domineering sword.
monster
As long as there is a strong person to guide him, his strength will increase rapidly.
After getting ashore, he touched the ground sexually and immediately took control of the island. Then he took Kalina and Nami and headed towards Zoro's breath.
"Puff, puff, puff—"
When Dewey and the other two arrived at a remote place, what they saw was the scene of Zoro killing everyone.
Holding two ordinary samurai swords in both hands and biting a Wado Ichimonji that exudes the aura of a famous sword in his mouth, Zoro, who has short green hair, rushed into the crowd of over a hundred people, like a meat grinder, bringing about a series of cloth tearing sounds.
Behind him, there was a group of pirates lying on the ground, their bodies covered with wounds and bleeding.
"Three Swords Demon Slash!"
"Three Swords Style Tiger Hunting!"
"Three Swords Flow Bull Needle!"
"…"
Dewey and the other two stood on the outskirts of the battlefield, quietly watching Zoro fight one against a hundred. His show-off basic swordsmanship and the domineering names of his sword moves dazzled Kalina and Nami and they were amazed.
Kalina couldn't help but tease Dewey, "Boss, I finally understand why you want to recruit him. Although he is still far behind you in terms of strength, he is no less capable than you in naming."
Following Dewey, Kalina naturally knew about the Sword of Fire that Dewey created himself. Whether it was the opening line "Everything in the Universe Reduced to Ashes" or "Cut the Sword", "Pine Torches", "Burning the City", "Scorching Hell" and so on… they were all extremely domineering names of moves.
"…"
Dewey was speechless for a while.
He really wanted to say that the names of his moves were all copied, and the names of the moves of the green algae-headed guy in front were all original… He was not even qualified to be Zoro's assistant when it came to naming.
But in order to maintain his dignity as the boss, Dewey finally chose to remain silent.
At this moment, Zoro had already resolved the battle.
This pirate group, relying on their large numbers, targeted the rising pirate hunter and wanted to kill Zoro to make a name for themselves. However, they were just a small pirate group with a bounty of one million.
Since setting sail, Zoro has lost count of how many pirate groups of this level he has killed in order to buy money for alcohol.
However, after chopping down the pirate captain this time, Zoro did not take the pirate captain to the local naval base to exchange for the bounty. Instead, he walked up to Dewey and the other two, staring at the three famous swords on Dewey's waist with burning eyes, and asked excitedly, "Hey… are you also a three-sword style?"
"You guy, don't you know the boss?"
Before Dewey could speak, Nami looked at Zoro with a strange look.
"Wow… so you are famous?" Zoro looked at Dewey with a fighting look in his eyes and continued, "I smell the scent of famous swords on those three swords. Since you are also a three-sword style, do you want to compete with me?"
"I finally understand why the boss said he has a pure heart." Kalina suddenly said to Nami.
"Yeah." Nami also nodded in agreement.
To be honest, when Kalina and Nami first heard that Dewey wanted to recruit Zoro, they agreed on the surface, but they were actually a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
It was a peaceful world for three people, but suddenly a man appeared, and he was a stranger. Who knows what kind of person he is? What if he is a pervert?
Now, Kalina and Nami's worries are gone.
In other words, their concerns have changed.
They became hostile towards Zoro, fearing that this guy would snatch the boss away from them.
After all, that fanatical look is hotter than the boss's flame.
"hehe..."
Dewey didn't know what the two women were thinking. Looking at Zoro who was full of vigor at this moment, he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he walked past Zoro, looked at the battlefield full of corpses in front of him, and slowly raised his right hand with his palm facing up.
Boom boom
The next moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Countless grains of sand seemed to have escaped the pull of gravity and slowly floated up.
Snap—
Cracks appeared on the ground, and then pieces of rocks, large and small, carrying the corpses flew up and crumpled into a ball in the air.
Not long after, a huge meteorite carrying hundreds of people stopped above the island.
Then, under Sauron's wide-eyed gaze, Dewey lightly pointed his finger at the meteorite. A wisp of golden flame instantly ignited and then covered his entire palm. Endless golden flames were immediately pulled out from Dewey's palm and turned into a line of fire flying towards the meteorite.
After the golden flame touched the meteorite, it quickly spread out and covered the surface of the meteorite in the blink of an eye, turning into a huge fireball suspended in the sky.
The terrifying high-temperature flames burned the meteorite red and also cremated all the bodies wrapped inside.
"Shua——"
Finally, Dewey pulled out the Autumn Water from his waist and swept it across the air towards the golden fireball.
The next second, the golden fireball was split in half.
A huge green slash rose into the sky with its remaining power.
Dewey put away Qiu Shui, flicked his finger slightly, and the fireball split into two and fell down immediately.
"Dark Cave Road!"
In order not to give the meteorite a chance to destroy the earth, Kalina and the other girl, receiving Dewey's signal, turned into a flash of lightning and appeared below the falling meteorite. Kalina released thick black fog, forming a huge black vortex, covering the two hemispherical fireballs from bottom to top, and taking them all into the black hole space, crushing and compressing them.
Dewey, on the other hand, looked at the stunned Zoro and smiled, "My name is Dewey. I'm not a three-sword practitioner, but I came here specifically to find you."
"I… I remember now, it's you!" Zoro looked at Dewey with a complicated expression: "I've seen you in the newspaper, the strongest hunter who killed legends."
After he finished speaking, Zoro seemed to have just reacted. His eyes suddenly became alert and he stared at Dewey and said, "Why would a big shot like you come to me?"
"You also saw the scene just now…"
Dewey untied the Sakura Ten and the Dead Tree from his waist and said to Zoro, "The world is very big. The slash I just made is nothing in front of the world's greatest swordsman. There are countless swordsmen who can even do this in the Grand Line! If you are also a swordsman who aims to become the world's greatest swordsman, then you have no future in a small place like the East China Sea."
After saying this, Dewey extended his hand to Sauron: "Join us, I will take you to see a wider world!"
"Hey..."
Looking at Dewey's sincere face, the shock on Zoro's face due to Dewey's words gradually faded, replaced by an excited smile of discovering a new world. Then he shook Dewey's hand without hesitation and said in a very solemn tone: "My name is Roronoa Zoro. As you said, my goal of going to sea and my lifelong ambition is to defeat a man named Hawkeye and become the world's greatest swordsman… Please give me more advice in the future, Captain!"
"Our meeting is destiny's guidance."
Dewey threw Yingju and Kuki to Zoro, looked at Zoro who caught them in a hurry, and said: "These two legendary swords may be prepared for you. From now on, you are their master."
"I've seen these two knives in the newspaper."
Zoro looked at Sakura and Kuki lovingly and said excitedly: "They are called Sakura and Kuki, right?"
"Yes, they are just like my Qiu Shui, both of them are famous swords that are ranked among the legendary ones." Dewey nodded.
"Can you really just give such precious swords to me like this?" Zoro looked at the two swords hesitantly, his face full of reluctance.
"I'm not a three-sword style swordsman. Do you want these two famous swords to be stored in the warehouse and gather dust?"
Dewey walked over, patted Zoro on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, you will become a swordsman worthy of these two famous swords sooner or later!"
"Thank you, Captain!"
Zoro suddenly looked at Dewey and said seriously.
Zoro, who was not good at expressing himself, could only say this one sentence of thanks, but his favorable impression of Dewey increased countless times.
With the instincts of a wild beast, he felt the purest trust from Dewey.
Therefore, even though they had just met, Zoro recognized Captain Dewey.
As you get along with each other, this real man will become a right arm that will never betray you.
Two knives in exchange for a perfect assistant that countless captains dream of, three words – big profit! _
