Chapter 65 Zoro's Resolve! I want to go too!
Chapter 65 Zoro's Resolve! I want to go too!
A deathly silence reigned above the ruins.
Luffy's roar, a roar that risked everything, seemed to still echo above the shattered Onigashima.
That will, originating from the depths of his soul, moved everyone present.
Marco, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine!
Marco looked at the man in front of him whose eyes seemed to be burning with rage, and his heart was filled with a turbulent storm.
Is this... the man who will become the Pirate King in the future?
For Ace, for a chance to make up for regrets, such a terrifying will can be unleashed!
He suddenly understood why Chen Ye had chosen to come to this time and space and gamble on this young man.
Looking into Luffy's eyes, which seemed to be burning with fierce flames, Chen Ye finally revealed a satisfied smile.
It became.
The second goal of this trip has been achieved.
Without any further hesitation, he took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Luffy.
"system."
Chen Ye issued the command in his mind.
"Apply the [Space-Time Imprint] to him."
Command confirmed.
"Applying a [Space-Time Imprint] to the target [Sun God Nika Monkey D. Luffy]..."
Om-!
A golden streak, almost invisible to the naked eye, flashed from Chen Ye's fingertip and disappeared as fast as lightning into Luffy's brow!
Luffy didn't even have time to react; he only felt a slight warmth between his eyebrows, and then he felt nothing more.
"Ding! 』
【Time-Space Imprint】 Successfully applied!
The target has been successfully locked onto as a summonable unit!
The system notification sounded in Chen Ye's mind right on time.
"nailed it."
"From now on, with just a thought, I can summon you to my side instantly, no matter where you are."
Become!
The two most important goals of this trip, peak Rayleigh and peak Luffy, have been achieved!
Chen Ye felt more relaxed than ever before!
He turned to look at Marco, who was still in shock beside him, and patted him on the shoulder.
Our mission is complete.
With a firm resolve, Chen Ye was just about to turn around and activate the portal to leave when...
Just then.
A deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang out from the side.
"Feed".
The sound wasn't loud.
Zoro, who had been standing silently to the side as if turned into a statue, slowly raised his head.
His single eye gleamed with a sharp, blade-like light, fixed intently on Chen Ye.
"That mark."
"Give me one too."
These words shocked everyone present!
The playful look on Chen Ye's face also faded somewhat.
He looked at Zoro with some surprise, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Luffy was also taken aback, turning to look at his first crewmate in confusion: "Zoro? You...?"
Even Marco on the other side had an incredulous expression on his face.
What the hell?
Is this green algae head going too?
Did he not know what a terrible war that would be?
That means rescuing people from the Navy Headquarters, right under the noses of countless top-tier experts!
One wrong move and you could be smashed to pieces!
Despite the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Zoro's expression remained unchanged.
He simply looked at Chen Ye calmly and repeated it again.
"I said, give me one too."
His voice wasn't loud, but the will it contained was as hard, sharp, and unshakeable as the famous sword in his hand!
Chen Ye's eyebrows twitched slightly.
I became interested instantly.
"Oh?"
He looked at Zoro with great interest, a playful smile curving his lips.
He paused for a moment, then asked.
Why?
Zoro did not answer immediately.
He slowly turned around and looked at Luffy beside him.
Looking at Luffy's face, flushed red with excitement and hope, Zoro's eyes softened considerably at that moment.
It's a look that only appears when looking at the most important person in your life.
next second.
He turned around abruptly, his gaze sharp as lightning, and stared directly at Chen Ye once more!
Clang!
His calloused hand pressed heavily on the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji sword at his waist!
An extremely sharp sword intent, as if it could cleave the sky in two, suddenly erupted from his body!
"reason?"
Zoro's voice was resolute and decisive!
"I was his first partner!"
boom!!!
A simple sentence, yet it was like an invisible hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present!
Especially Marco!
His pupils contracted violently in that instant!
The first... partner?
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Zoro's voice suddenly rose, carrying a deep sense of regret and resentment!
"I wasn't by Ace's side when he died in front of him!"
"During the Marineford War, none of us Straw Hat Pirates were by his side!"
"That's my captain's scar, a wound that will never heal!"
"That's a lifelong regret for all of us!"
At this point, Zoro's voice suddenly paused.
His hand, gripping the hilt of the knife, was so clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white!
He took a deep breath and roared out the resolve befitting a first mate!
"Now!"
"Now that we have a chance to make up for this regret!"
"How could I... let him face this alone again?!"
"The captain's brother is my brother!"
The words fell.
His hand, which was on the hilt of the knife, suddenly clenched!
Clang—!
The three famous swords simultaneously emitted a clear, melodious hum, as if responding to their master's will!
An extreme, pure killing intent surged into the sky!
Zoro stared intently at Chenye, and with a tone of utter defiance, made a vow befitting the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!
"This time!"
"I will never let anyone have it again!"
"In front of him!"
"Harm his family!!!"
silence.
A deathly silence.
Luffy stared blankly at Zoro, his eyes already reddening without him realizing it.
He didn't say anything.
He simply reached out and placed his hand heavily on Zoro's shoulder.
Everything is understood without words.
Meanwhile, Marco on the other side was completely shocked!
He stared wide-eyed at the green-haired swordsman exuding murderous intent, his mind completely blank.
These guys...
What kind of monsters are these guys?!
He originally thought that only the Whitebeard Pirates would value the bond between their comrades more than their own lives.
But today, he witnessed it with his own eyes.
The bond between the Straw Hat Pirates in front of us is no less than that between them!
He seemed to see his former self, his father, and all the brothers of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The captain's family is my family!
What a similar realization these are!
Is this... the Straw Hat Pirates?
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A burst of hearty laughter broke the tense atmosphere.
Chen Ye looked at the scene before him and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at Zoro with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
What a fine first mate!
What a future world's greatest swordsman!
He even saw a trace of Rayleigh, the King of Darkness, in this guy!
Do not……
Perhaps, in the future, he will surpass Rayleigh!
"it is good."
Chen Ye suppressed his smile and nodded heavily.
"Well said."
