"If the Grand Line is compared to a stage, in this era, pirates and navy are undoubtedly the protagonists on this stage. This is an irrefutable fact." After hearing Nami's question, Robin said with a smile, "But on a stage, there cannot be only the protagonist. The supporting roles are also indispensable... Just like the 'Revolutionary Army' you have heard of, it does not belong to the pirates or the navy, but it is definitely the stage. One of the most important supporting roles."

"Huh? So, Zoro's teacher is a 'revolutionary soldier'?" Sanji asked.

"No, Master Koushiro is from the Heavenly Punishment Organization, and is one of the three military leaders of the Heavenly Punishment Organization, commanding the Sword Legion." Robin said with some respect.

"Ah? 'Heavenly Punishment Organization'? What is that?" The fire of gossip in Luffy's heart was burning brightly.

"It's a terrifying organization that makes countless pirates change their minds after hearing about it..." Robin introduced with a smile.

Luffy and the others listened quietly like curious babies, exclaiming from time to time.

…………

Outside the dilapidated temple, Koushiro walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

Zoro just followed behind without saying a word, waiting quietly.

"You must be wondering why my master appears in this great sea route and has such a powerful force..." Koushiro stopped and said suddenly.

"Yes." Zoro admitted honestly without hiding his inner feelings.

"Deep in everyone's heart, there are secrets and pasts that are difficult to share with others, even those close to them... My teacher has indeed hidden something from you in this regard. I hope you don't blame me..." Koushiro had an apologetic look on his face.

"Teacher, you are serious. Don't say that!" Zoro lowered his head suddenly and said, "This is human nature. Even if the teacher has secrets, it is normal... Moreover, the teacher has given me the kindness to raise and teach me. No matter what happened to me, I would never dare to blame the teacher!"

"You are a good boy." When Koushiro heard Zoro say this, he seemed to have untied a knot in his heart, and smiled with relief, "For some reasons, I had to choose to live in seclusion in the East China Sea, away from the right and wrong of this great shipping route. No, but you are the most special one among my disciples. You have a true swordsman’s heart. I can’t bear to see your talent wasted..."

"Teacher, you are so complimentary. The one who is truly talented is Senior Sister Kuina, not me." Zoro quickly shook his head and said.

"Kuina... It's rare that you still remember that girl..." Koushiro looked complicated, but then he shook his head and said, "Based on her understanding of kendo, Kuina is indeed better than you, but she lacks that perseverance. In this regard, you are better than her."

"On this great route, there are countless geniuses, and there are also countless enemies and opponents who will make you despair. If you want to reach the top, you must have a persevering heart... I am very optimistic about you, and I hope you can continue Go ahead, do you understand?"

"Yes!" Zoro responded.

"However, you still have a long way to go. I heard that you have already challenged Eagle Eye?" Koushiro asked.

"Disciple, you have been embarrassed!" Sauron whispered.

"What's so shameful about this? Even if you are a master now, you don't have much confidence that you can defeat 'Hawkeye'. At most, you only have a 30% chance of winning..." Koushiro shook his head.

In this regard, Koushiro did not deceive Zoro.

It wasn't until he took a step further and broke through the previous bottleneck that he could more clearly feel the power of 'Eagle Eye'. This is indeed a peak that can make countless swordsmen despair!

During the 'War on Top', Refa once asked him what chance he had of winning if he fought against 'Hawkeye'. His answer at that time was uncertain.

But in fact, his inner thoughts at that time were only 50-50, because the ability displayed by 'Eagle Eye' at that time was only comparable to him. But when he took a step further, he was shocked to find that even after the breakthrough, if he faced 'Eagle Eye', he would still lose more than he wins.

This was the answer he came up with after having a personal discussion with 'Eagle Eye' after his breakthrough.

In that competition, the two of them couldn't decide the winner, but he knew that if he really fought with all his strength, his chance of winning would only be 30% at most!

As for Sauron's challenge to 'Eagle Eye', Refa told him.

What Koushiro didn't know was that even though he was not sure that he could defeat 'Hawkeye', these words also greatly stimulated Zoro. You know, that is the world's number one swordsman!

In this sea, how many swordsmen dare to say that they have a chance of winning against 'Eagle Eye'?

Let alone a 30% chance of winning, even a 10% chance of winning is already amazing.

A swordsman of the level of 'Foil Sword' Bista is definitely at the top level of the Grand Line, but if he really faces off against 'Eagle Eye', he has absolutely no chance of winning!

Even if 'Eagle Eye' suppresses the force to the same level as him, it will be the same.

A swordsman who dares to say that he has a chance to defeat 'Eagle Eye' must prove that his strength is at least on the same level as 'Eagle Eye' and is not inferior to 'Eagle Eye' in swordsmanship.

After coming to the Grand Line, Sauron had a better understanding of the levels of power, and he understood more and more how ignorant he was of rashly challenging 'Eagle Eye'.

Therefore, he also understood better how powerful Koushiro was as a teacher.

"You ask your companions to wait for you for half a month. During this half month, I will fully guide your swordsmanship practice and help you take a further step." Koushiro continued, "As for which step you can take in the end, it doesn't matter. It all depends on your own destiny..."

"Thank you, teacher!" Zoro agreed excitedly without refusing.

Being taught swordsmanship by a powerful swordsman is not a shameful thing in itself, not to mention that this person is also a teacher who has nurtured and taught me.

"Go and meet your companions first. After that, ask Weiwei to take you to find your teacher, um, the girl with blue hair." Koushiro said.

"yes!"

Zoro bowed before heading out to the dilapidated temple.

When Zoro was out of sight, Koushiroji suddenly said, "It seems that your Excellency succeeded?"

"Well, it's solved. It's easier than I thought." Lefa smiled and came from a short distance away. He was still holding the little guy Diandian in his arms and was looking around in his arms.

"Then congratulations, sir." Koushiro also smiled.

"Congratulations on the reunion between master and disciple." Lei Fa chuckled, "It seems that you are very optimistic about this disciple of yours..."

"Zoron is a kid with a tough heart and has found his own path in kendo. As long as there are no accidents, his future achievements will never be inferior to my teacher." Koushiro said calmly.

"Are you planning to let him fight 'Hawkeye' instead of you?" Refa asked with a smile.

"No, I plan to let him fight me after defeating 'Hawkeye'!" Koushiro said with a faint smile. (To be continued.)
