"One Piece" Events:
"Thanks to Jewelry Bonney, we managed to avoid the worst case scenario... That man was the "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, from the Straw Hat Pirates."
Someone spoke quietly behind his captain - Capone Bege.
"I'd heard that they were all crazy, but... To attack one of the Tenryuubito... That's just insane."
Capone Bege admitted that he underestimated the extent of this crew's madness.
Not far from the Fire Tank Pirates, Basil Hawkins said, "Of course, he was saved..."
"He doesn't have the look of death about him."
Scratchman Apoo added, "That bastard, for a second there, he let off a ridiculous amount of killing intent..."
"He's a beast."
With his usual smile, Urouge looked at Zoro before speaking, "He's the first mate, and his bounty is 120 million."
"He doesn't look like a guy who follows orders..."
"I guess that says a lot about his captain..."
Suddenly, Zoro did something that surprised everyone. He carried the injured man, who had been shot, on his shoulder and asked someone, "Hey, where's the hospital?"
"Hospital!?"
"I'll take this guy. He got shot."
"What? Just leave him, he's just some guy!"
Zoro ignored Bonney's annoying shouting, took the man who had lost his fiance and almost lost his life, and left.
"I'm shocked... A pirate saving someone!? I've never even heard of something like that!!!"
Bonney wasn't the only one shocked by this scene; everyone present in the place was taken aback.
The Grand Line, Drum Island:
"What an extraordinary man, Zoro. Words alone cannot fully capture his magnificence."
The king of Drum Kingdom adjusted his purple beard and spoke with a smile.
He was greatly impressed by the remarkable sight of a pirate coming to the aid of an ordinary civilian.
Beside him, his beautiful wife wiped away a tear of affection from her eyes. Queen Carla was genuinely moved by Zoro's actions.
"The Straw Hat crew possesses great kindness. It's as if they are not pirates at all, but rather a group of cute adventurers."
"But he nearly killed a Celestial Dragon! The mere thought of it sends shivers down my spine... I've heard that the Celestial Dragons also read One Piece manga. I wonder how they will react to this act of benevolence. I assume their response will be one of immense anger."
King Mapol whispered these words into his wife's ear, ensuring that no one else would overhear them.
...
Marigoa, Domain of the Gods:
Speaking of the reaction of the Celestial Dragons regarding the scene where Zoro attempted to attack the slimy Celestial Dragon, it can only be described as... ridiculous!
"Absolutely ridiculous!" That's what Saint Figarland Garling exclaimed upon witnessing the enraged Celestial Dragons cursing at the audacious offender in the manga.
The sight of this uproarious spectacle left Figaland Garling and the rest of the Holy Knights wide-eyed in disbelief.
"That damn bastard! He nearly killed him! F@ck @@&&@!!" growled a certain Celestial Dragon.
"What do you mean he nearly killed him?! As if Zoro would perish at the hands of this scum!!" Another Celestial Dragon referred to the slimy Celestial Dragon as scum, defending Zoro's honor.
"This infuriates me! I want to slay this wicked bastard who dared to harm my beloved Zoro!!" A female Celestial Dragon couldn't contain the anger welling up inside her. Zoro was her favorite character and the man of her dreams. Witnessing someone from the same status as her attempting to harm Zoro and referring to him as a commoner filled her with rage.
"Moron!!! Fucker! How dare he stand in Zoro's way! If I could time-travel, I would teach that bastard a lesson! He can't impede Zoro's path!"
"What is this vile pirate doing? How dare she embraces my Zoro! Hey guards! Locate the parents of this Jewelry Bonney and eliminate them before they bring forth this villain pirate girl!"
Chaos ensued inside the "Marigoa" art store at that moment. All the Celestial Dragons rallied behind Zoro, yearning to tear the slimy Celestial Dragon apart.
This left the Holy Knights with a sense that something was amiss.
Surely, there was an error, and it didn't align with the original text. Where did the mistake occur and when?
...
South Blue, Sorbet Kingdom:
"I did this?"
Little Bonney's eyes sparkled as she saw herself transforming into a kid's form and preventing Zoro from harming the slimy Celestial Dragon, thereby averting a catastrophe.
"Little Bonney, you stopped Zoro from making a grave mistake in the manga. You are destined to be an important character in this marvelous book, and I am proud of you."
For the first time, Kuma spoke at length and praised Bonney with a smile.
"This young man truly surprised me. Not only does he lack a sense of direction, but it seems he is also unaware of current events. Or perhaps he knows the identity of the person who intended to kill him but was willing to go through with it regardless. N-fufufufu~ What an attractive young man he is!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you dim-witted fool!" Crocodile slammed his hand on the table and cursed.
"Zoro is an impressive individual. It's delightful to see him in my son's crew." This time, Dragon smiled as he spoke.
"Little Bonney, you should also learn from Zoro. Life isn't just about indulging in food. In our grandest endeavor, we must assist the vulnerable... Despite being a pirate, Zoro demonstrated that he doesn't disregard the lives of commoners."
"Do you know why?" Dragon inquired, gazing at the little girl nestled in her father's lap.
Everyone fell silent, eager to hear the answer.
"... I don't know..." Bonney replied bashfully.
"It's because he doesn't let his pirate identity define him entirely. He can claim not to take it seriously. He is a man of principles and dreams, following the desires of his heart. He wields his sword not for the sake of shedding blood, but for the sake of honor."
"He's a natural swordsman..."
...
"Your son is a natural swordsman... he's like his ancestor."
Back in the Drum Kingdom, in the private section of the art store where the Zoro family gathered, Shimotsuki Ushimaru spoke with a wide smile on his face.
"When this boy is born, will you entrust him to me for training, Arashi?"
As his nephew, Ushimaru and Arashi quickly formed a strong bond, strengthened by their shared bloodline.
"I can do that, but you have to train him here. I won't allow my son to leave this place until he reaches adulthood... Who am I to change his destiny?"
"Did you discuss this with his mother before making a decision?" Terra playfully puffed her cheeks while speaking, her green hair resembling her son's.
...
Ohara:
"He really doesn't seem like someone who follows orders..."
"That's correct. As a swordsman aspiring to become the greatest, he cannot accept being subordinate to anyone."
"But, Hawk-chan... Why did he choose to join Luffy?"
"Have you forgotten what Zoro said to Luffy when they first met?"
"He said, 'I will be a member of your crew, but if our paths clash with my own pursuit of my dreams, I will sever ties with you, even if you are my captain.'"
"That means it might come true in the future, doesn't it, guys?" Fufu~"
Suddenly, Doflamingo interjected in the intriguing conversation between Mihawk and Issho, who they already returned to Ohara after a lengthy mission in Wano.
"Who knows what life's twists and turns may bring?"
"But personally, I don't believe that... Zoro is intensely loyal to Luffy for reasons known only to him."
