Chapter 502

In the heart-wrenching cry, Luffy roared and swung his right arm forward, and the rubber-like arm quickly extended.

Until it rested on the wreckage floating on the sea, using the force to stretch himself over. Even though he was also seriously injured, he still chose to rush forward resolutely.

He even shouted.

"Damn it, you bastard!"

The willful and cheerful Luffy also showed such an angry expression for the first time!

But Hawkeye just dodged to the side, put the sharp blade in his hand back behind his back, and said with his hands on his chest.

"Are you the companion of the young swordsman? Thank you for watching the end just now, but rest assured, the man is still alive."

Hearing this.

Luffy hurriedly looked at Zoro who was lying on the side, and saw that although he collapsed on the ground, blood was flowing on his chest, but he could still feel it vaguely.

His chest still had a slight rise and fall, proving that he was still alive.

Seeing this, Luffy's anxious and angry heart was temporarily calmed, "Great, Zoro, are you okay?"

But in the face of concern, Zoro couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of bright red blood in response, and the whole person looked listless.

As for Hawkeye, he turned his gaze to Zoro again, and said with a serious expression, "It's too early for you to want to die now. I, Joracol Mihawk, am waiting for your challenge!

No matter how long it has been, I will be waiting for you in this strongest position! Go to recognize the world, try your best to become stronger, and try to surpass me, Roronoa Zoro!"

One word.

Hawkeye's sharp eyes, like a hawk, shifted to Luffy again. He noticed the straw hat on his head early in the morning.

And he came here for this!

When he looked at Luffy again, he also asked the question in his heart, "Boy, what is your goal?"

"Pirate King!"

Luffy responded very decisively, without even the slightest hesitation, and said it straight out.

In response to this.

Hawkeye tilted his head slightly, looked at Luffy with his side eyes, and said with a rare slight upward smile, "That is a more difficult road than surpassing me."

But this is something that ordinary people think is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and Luffy's answer is just a simple and willful sentence, "I don't care, anyway, I want to be it!"

But at this time.

Zoro, who fell not far away, finally tried his last strength and shouted breathlessly, "Luffy, can you hear me?!"

"I can hear you!"

Luffy also hurriedly replied.

Listening to the response from his ear, Zoro endured the constant pain in his body, and even his voice trembled.

"I made you worried just now, I guess... If I don't become the strongest swordsman in the world, you will be troubled too...

I..."

Whispering, tears kept running down his resolute side face. In his blurred vision, he looked up to the sky as if he was swearing something.

"... I won't lose again! I will never lose again before I defeat him and become the strongest. Do you have any objection? Pirate King!!!"

Hearing this, Luffy grinned and showed his signature smile, giving his own response.

"No!"

"Good team."

Hawkeye on the side praised from the bottom of his heart, and then jumped back to the coffin ship docked at the edge, leaving here without looking back.

Everything returned to calm again.

Only Sanji, who was standing on the deck, was deeply touched after witnessing everything just now.

He couldn't understand.

Why...why would he give up his life for ambition...

Besides that.

Zoro shifted his sight to the blade not far from his side with difficulty, and smiled with some relief in his heart.

"It seems that you don't need to find a new master... I will take you and become the world's number one swordsman!"

Feeling his weak state at the moment and the somewhat teasing voice in his heart, Ajuromaru raised the corner of his mouth.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can really do it, prove it to me with your actions."

"Definitely!"

Zoro smiled freely, then closed his eyes heavily, and the whole person fell into a coma, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

In his ears.

What echoed was the anxious shouts of Luffy and Usopp.

As for Zoro's current injuries.

Ajuromaru had no choice, after all, there was no way to heal him now, but with the average physique of pirates.

As long as he didn't die, he would heal himself in a few days.

At the moment, Ajuromaru was more concerned about the past.The future plan, you know, if you bind the sword master now, your actions will be restricted.

It is obviously unrealistic to expose your identity to speed up the progress of the mission. If you really want to complete the special mission, you must show the power of the god level.

And let the people of the world see it with their own eyes!

And the only way to do this is the war on the top!

This is also the perfect stage for yourself.

But if you want to really do this, you need Zoro to improve your strength as soon as possible, at least in the war on the top, you have to accumulate the combat power of the admiral level!

This is the thought.

Ajuromaru couldn't help but sigh, "This mission is really a long way to go."

...

Outside.

Zoro has also been bandaged and properly placed, and the two sharp blades have been put away.

At the same time, the two younger brothers who originally followed Zoro and Usopp were also sent to board the ship to chase Nami who escaped, trying to find the other party's final destination.

On the other hand, Luffy was sitting in the restaurant, eating the seafood fried rice in front of him.

On the chair in front of him.

Sitting there was the owner of the restaurant on the sea, Red-footed Zeff, who looked at Luffy in front of him and suddenly made a suggestion.

"Boy, aren't you short of a cook on your ship? Of course, this is not a request, can you take that brat with you? Take him to the Grand Line.

After all, that's his dream."

But Luffy, who had been asking constantly, refused without hesitation at this moment, "No."

Being rejected miserably.

This was also something that no one present had expected, and Zeff asked with some surprise, "Why? Are you dissatisfied with that kid?"

"How is that possible? But he said he wanted to stay here as a chef. Even if you uncles said so, I can't take him away if he doesn't want to."

"Can't he accept it if he doesn't agree in person? It seems that with that kid's stubborn temper, he will never leave."

Zeff sighed, but he was not disappointed.

"But luckily he didn't hear this..."

The other chefs just smiled and said nothing more.

But what they didn't know was that.

Sanji was right outside the door at this moment...
