Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

"Damn it! Can someone tell me why I'm still hanging around in the East China Sea after being out to sea for a year!!!"

On a simple wooden board, sat a young man with short green hair, paddling the boat with both hands and roaring towards the sky with a ferocious look on his face.

This man was none other than Roronoa Zoro, who had been lost for a whole year and was about to go to the Navy Headquarters, Marinford, independently in search of his senior sister.

At this time, a small sailboat slowly passed by him. A young boy wearing a straw hat stuck his head out from the railing, looked at him and asked with a smile:

"Are you in a shipwreck? Then I will help you."

After the straw hat boy finished answering his own questions, he extended an arm from the boat all the way in front of Zoro, and grabbed his arm to Zoro's astonishment.

With a "swoosh", the straw hat boy's outstretched arm returned to its original shape, and Zoro was lifted onto the small sailboat.

Zoro then looked at the simple and honest boy in front of him. Judging from his strange operation just now, this boy should be a user with the ability of eating a devil fruit.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy!"

I saw him holding the straw hat on his head with one hand, stretching the other hand in front of himself, and introducing himself with a smile.

Zoro was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have heard the name Monkey somewhere before, but now was not the time for him to think about it carefully.

Others have kindly allowed me to get on board and have extended a hand of friendship. It would be very impolite if I didn't respond.

So he reached out and shook Luffy's hand, and introduced himself:

“My name is Roronoa Zoro, I’m a bounty hunter, thank you for having me on board.

To express my gratitude, I will be in charge of the safety of your ship during the voyage to your destination!"

......

But Luffy did not answer him, but circled around him, his eyes fixed on the three samurai swords on his waist, and asked curiously:

"Zoro, are you a merchant selling swords?"

"No! I'm a swordsman! A swordsman!!!"

"Oh, then why do you carry so many swords? Can you use them all?"

Zoro suppressed his furious expression and said arrogantly:

"Of course! Because I am a three-sword swordsman, and my dream is to become the world's strongest swordsman!"

Luffy's eyes suddenly turned into stars when he heard this, and he shouted with admiration:

“Siguoyi!!! Three sword styles!!!

My uncle only uses one knife, but you can use three knives, so you must be more powerful than my uncle!"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay."

Zoro scratched his head in embarrassment and said modestly. At this time, he looked around and found that the two had been talking for a long time, and there was no one else on the ship, so he asked in confusion:

"Are you the only one on this ship? Are you planning on looking for your family?"

Luffy raised his head, wiped his nose with his right thumb, and said proudly:

"Yes! This is my pirate ship! But I'm not going to look for my family, I'm going to be the man who becomes the Pirate King!"

When Zoro heard Luffy's words, his mouth curled up and he kept roaring in his heart:

Hey! Were you listening carefully to my self-introduction?

I'm a bounty hunter! I catch pirates for money!

Oh, yes!

This kid doesn’t even have a pirate flag, so there should be no bounty.

and many more!

I think I said just now that the safety of this ship will be protected by himself until he reaches his destination!

Damn! I was careless!

Just when Zoro was annoyed that he got on a pirate ship, Luffy said excitedly:

"Hey, Zoro, you're so awesome, come be my crew member!"

"Don't bother me, I want to be alone!"

Zoro, holding his three swords with a look of despair, collapsed on the ground against the railing, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes.

If Kuina knew that I had become a pirate without knowing why, she would definitely laugh at me for the rest of my life!

...

...

Luffy and Zoro were on a boat, wandering alone on the sea for nearly half a month. If you observe their sailing trajectory from the sky, you can see that they were constantly making circles. In more than ten days, they traveled less than 10 nautical miles in a straight line.

Luffy was lying on the deck of the small sailboat, and he weakly shouted hoarsely to the green algae head at the helm:

"I'm so hungry. I'm almost starving to death! Zoro, do you know how to sail a boat?"

"Shut up!!! You are a worthless captain who can't even read a map, and you dare to question my strength!"

Zoro scolded Luffy loudly, but the next second he touched his chin and muttered to himself:

"But it looks like we still need to find a navigator!"

However, Zoro became furious when he saw Luffy lying motionless on the deck. Thinking back to the time they had spent together, he finally understood this young man. He went to sea out of sheer passion and without any plan.

The purpose is to become the Pirate King, but as for the rest, such as what to do, where to go first, etc., he knows nothing about anything, and the main theme is a romantic way of going with the flow.

He had no common sense about the sea, no knowledge of navigation, and couldn't even read a map.

They didn't know how to cook, and the food on the boat consisted of only dry food and cooked food. Fortunately, both of them were in good physical condition, so they could eat even slightly spoiled food.

"Hey, Luffy, do you feel that this sea is becoming more and more strange?"

"what?"

"When I first went out to sea, I would see pirate ships every now and then.

But since last year, I feel like there are fewer and fewer pirate ships. I haven’t seen a single pirate ship for ten days or half a month, but I’ve encountered a lot of navy ships.”

Luffy lay on the ground and said lazily:

"I just went out to sea. I don't know."

Zoro was suddenly speechless.

...

I don't know if it was because of Zoro's sudden change of fortune, but the small sailboat finally started to move in a straight line.

After driving for several hours,

Then they found a navy ship, which was heading towards them.

When the two ships slowly intersected, the naval soldiers on the warship stood in front of the fence and looked down at their small boat.

When the kind-hearted navy captain saw Luffy lying dead on the deck, he shouted:

"Hey! Kids, do you need help?"

Zoro was afraid that Luffy would yell at the navy, so he quickly said:

"We have run out of food. Please give us some food. And please tell us the direction of the next island."

The navy on this side of the warship did not have too many doubts. After a while, a soldier packed several meals from the dining room in the cabin, walked to the railing and shouted:

"then!"

He threw the food in his hand down. The navy captain saw Zoro take the package, raised his hand and pointed in a direction, and said with a smile:

"If you keep walking in that direction for two days, you should be able to see an island.

By the way, what are you two young people going to do?"

When Luffy heard this, he stood up from the deck and smiled broadly at the navy.

"We are pirates! And I am the man who will become the Pirate King!"
