"???"

Zoro, who was about to finish his meal, suddenly raised his head. When he saw the guy wearing a straw hat beside him, his face was also shocked.

certainly.

I believe that anyone who sees someone eating like a balloon will definitely be shocked?!

only

After taking a look, he ignored it.

After being hungry for several days in a row, I finally found a place to eat today. I couldn't think of a guy with a big rice pail and a bigger belly than him.

But the guy in the straw hat next to him didn't seem to want to let him go. He held up a big belly that didn't match his limbs, with grains of rice on his face. He raised his hands excitedly and shouted loudly, "Come be my partner!"

The words fell.

Before Zoro, who was about to start eating, said something impatiently.

"Isn't this Luffy?" The co-worker noticed at the side and burst out laughing, "What are you doing here again? The neighbor next door can't get enough to eat, so you're here to get food again?"

The workers around him seemed to be used to this scene and were just laughing and joking.

"Hahaha"

"Why don't you join us?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat here!"

"???"

Hearing the words of the coworker on the side, Zoro's impatience subsided, and then he ignored it and started eating heavily.

It turned out that I was just here for a meal!

So what did this guy call me just now?

Could it be that you were inviting him to dinner?

only.

Facing everyone's joking, Luffy didn't care, and still said with a serious face, "I'm not here to eat for free today!"

Then he continued to look at Zoro in front of him, with the same serious tone, "I want you to be my partner and go on adventures with me!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and firmly raised his hands under the gaze of everyone.

"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

As soon as these words fell.

The co-workers were stunned for a moment, then laughed again.

"Hahaha! What are you talking nonsense about?"

"Don't you want your legs again? I heard that you were beaten by Madara again a few days ago!"

"Just keep working hard!"

The workers on the side also seemed to notice the surprise on Sauron's face and explained with a smile.

"Ignore this kid! Luffy always likes to say such big things!"

“I shout every day that I want to be the Pirate King! But I haven’t even gone to sea yet.”

"Hahaha"

"One Piece?"

But after hearing the workers' explanation, Zoro stopped eating and looked at the bloated guy with a serious face, but there was no trace of teasing in his eyes.

After all, he could tell from the kid's expression when he said that sentence just now that he was serious!

Even in the face of everyone's teasing, he still didn't waver at all!

Just like when he shouted that he wanted to be the best swordsman in the world!

Become the Pirate King?

I didn’t expect to meet someone with such a lofty dream here!

"I trust you!"

Zoro put down the bowl in his hand, picked up his three swords, stood up with a serious look, and faced Luffy in front of him, holding his Wadou Ichimonji horizontally!

"Roronoa Zoro, his dream is to become the world's best swordsman!"

"Luffy!"

After seeing his future partner in front of him suddenly become so serious, and not canceling himself like others, but still believing in his dream, Luffy, who was originally smiling, became serious.

Holding his straw hat in his hand, he also looked directly at Zoro in front of him, "The man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

The words fell.

Suddenly.

The entire construction site fell silent.

The worker who was originally laughing and joking didn't speak anymore. He raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Do not know why……

They also seemed to feel that what these two people were talking about was...

real!

The sea breeze blew slightly, blowing over the two people on the field.

The two people looked at each other like this, one holding his long knife horizontally; the other held down his straw hat, with a faint smile on his lips.

Two men with great dreams met here, as if they could both feel each other's determination.

Even when he saw the Straw Hat boy in front of him, an idea suddenly popped up in Zoro's mind, and a voice in his heart said to him, "Start your adventure!", and the sword in his hand... was also trembling.

Then he seemed to have made a decision, Zoro's eyes hardened, and he was about to say something.

However.

At this time.

"Luffy," a voice suddenly shouted not far away, "The break time has passed, and the foreman has called you to come to work!"

Suddenly.

"okay!"

"..."

Before anyone could react, the young boy with dreams in front of him suddenly grabbed his big rice bucket, jumped up and down, and ran towards Luffy towards another construction site.

Everyone was silent.

then……

Then he turned his head silently and looked at Zoro, who was still holding his long sword horizontally, and who was also silent.

this moment.

The sea breeze blows again.

Zoro:......

His face was a little stiff, the sword in his hand no longer trembled, and the voice in his head disappeared, as he looked at the retreating figure.

At this moment, he...

There is something in my heart that I don’t know whether to say or not.

Especially when everyone is watching, I suddenly feel so stupid!

Yes! How silly!

All the workers hesitated and said, "Zoron..."

But this time.

"..."

Sauron said that he was hungry and didn't want to say anything now, so he quickly put away his long knife.

He lowered his head in silence and continued to cook.

It was as if nothing happened just now.

…

"Have the two met already?" Cao Mang looked at the information in his hand and shook his head with emotion.

Although there was a little accident during the process, fate finally brought the two people together.

only.

This ending...is somewhat unexpected!
