Wano Country:
Returning to Ringo Province, where the snow had melted and flowers bloomed everywhere.
Shimotsuki Ushimaru and his pet Onimaru were in a daze.
Not only them but all the guards of the Daimyo and his family who have had the opportunity to read the latest volume were also amazed.
The daimyo had requested many copied volumes, which were sent by delivery arrows from the Flower Capital.
Thanks to the delivery arrows, they didn't need to travel to the Flower Capital, where the nearest art store is, to read the manga.
The reason for their stupor was what Zoro had accomplished. In other words, Zoro's sacrifice and his amazing words "Nothing Happened" left a deep impression on them.
"Shusui found a qualified swordsman to carry it... the ancestor did not make a mistake when he passed the national treasure Shusui to Zoro," Ushimaru said with an admiring smile.
At this moment, he felt inferior to Zoro for some reason. This feeling was not limited to him alone, but to many other swordsmen who aspired to become the strongest. Compared to Zoro's will, they found themselves lacking.
"I look forward to seeing your future achievements, the pride of my clan," Ushimaru said with a heartfelt smile.
At this point, he became sure that Zoro was his nephew who had escaped from Wano a few years ago.
(Author's note: I have already decided to link Zoro's origins to the Shimotsuki family from Wano, even if Oda has not yet recognized it. I don't care if I get slapped by Oda.)
...
Flower Capital:
The residents of the Flower Capital, including both samurai and ordinary people, still were similarly stunned and speechless by the scene of Zoro. His actions were too grandiose to comprehend.
Zoro became an inspiration for the samurai of Wano, a shining example to follow in their pursuit of the path of the sword.
"... Because not everyone with a sword is necessarily a swordsman," Issho said, sighing with an overwhelming admiration for Zoro's scene.
He was grateful to the art store, which had temporarily restored his eyesight and allowed him to witness such greatness.
"I am increasingly convinced that Zoro will be my most terrifying rival for the title of the strongest swordsman in the manga world," commented Mihawk calmly, his hawk eyes occasionally glowing with a longing for a challenge.
"Hawk-san... One day, you will realize that your biggest mistake in life was challenging him with an apple-peeling knife in your first fight."
Mihawk's eyes darkened when he heard the Shogun's malicious comment.
"Uh, Shogun-san," Mihawk interrupted. "The person who challenged Zoro with a short knife is my version in the manga, and besides, Zoro doesn't exist in this world yet. Don't forget that."
...
Ring Hell Island:
Or what is known as Hunters Island was Rob's destination.
He gracefully descended on the highest point of the Hunters Tower, with feather-like leaves scattering from his paper wings.
"Ace was such a famous elite who served Whitebeard... The world government must have found themselves a trump card!" remarked Hogback.
"Indeed," Absalom agreed.
"It seems that this situation may be the one that will turn over the Pirate Era," Hogback concluded.
On an unknown island in the first half of the Grand Line:
After seeing the content of the latest chapter, it was as if a bomb had exploded in the minds of Roger and his crew.
"Unbelievable..." said Young Shanks.
"Incredible..." added Gaban.
"They have already dared to imprison Ace in Impel Down... They don't fear Whitebeard?" Wondered Crocus.
"It's lucky for them that we can't enter the manga world!!" Buggy exclaimed in an attempt to lighten the mood.
However, it became clear that this was not enough as everyone noticed the sadness in the captain's wife.
"Ace..." Rouge weakly bit her lips, being the only one who knew where this was all headed due to having read some of Rob's thoughts from years ago.
"Rouge... Let's call Rob... He can reassure us," Roger said in a gentle voice, trying to comfort her.
