Let's make a promise! Let's charge towards the title of the world's greatest swordsman together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro was completely caught up in a frenzy, so excited it looked like he might pass out at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no one responded to his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind blew past, and the trees in the woods rustled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zoro felt a little awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never said I wanted to become the world's greatest swordsman!\" Cyrus said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're learning swordmanship, don't you want to become the strongest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro's eyes were wide, and he clenched his fists tightly, seemingly in disbelief of Cyrus's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina was also a little curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm different from you two. You both have firm ideals, but I don't. Maybe by the time you become the world's greatest swordsman, I'll still be an insignificant nobody. Then when I go out and someone bullies me, I'll just said that my juniors is the world's greatest swordsman. Then I can eat and drink without paying.\" Cyrus said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, Zoro and Kuina's gazes turned scornful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a scummy guy you are!\" Zoro said, as if disappointed in someone who wouldn't live up to their potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, I'm supposed to be the senpai.\" Zoro realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was the one who taught you swordsmanship. You should call me senpai too.\" Kuina also nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at you two. You're about to become the world's greatest swordsmen, and you're still so petty. It's just a title. I'm older than you, so it's reasonable for me to call you my juniors, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus said with a helpless look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it reasonable?\" Zoro raised a hand to scratch his short green hair and looked at Kuina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh...\" Kuina raised a hand to scratch her face, not giving an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, we're so close. It's also reasonable for me to dine and dash using your names in the future, right?\" Cyrus said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro and Kuina looked at each other, not knowing how to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both felt there was something wrong with Cyrus's words, but they didn't know how to refute them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hee-haw! You're quite the talker, little brat. You've got them both confused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abruptly, a voice appeared, and Cyrus whipped his head around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind a tree in the direction of the dojo, a person whose head was bigger than his body stood there, with half his head peeking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHHHH A MOSNTER!\" Zoro's eyeballs nearly popped out of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't talk nonsense!\" Cyrus slapped the leaping Zoro back to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is from a special race on the grandline, the Big-head Tribe,\" Cyrus said with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro looked shocked, while Kuina looked curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is one of the strange races from the sea you mentioned. It really is strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina was full of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea was truly mysterious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ivankov, who had been eavesdropping, was completely speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Dragon and Koshiro were discussing matters, he had wandered off on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing voices from afar, he had approached and listened to the three children's conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their spirit wasn't bad, wanting to become the strongest on the sea, the world's greatest swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he heard the older one tricking the two younger ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, he had even been assigned to a random race!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hee-haw! Little brat, I'm not from some Big-head Tribe. I'm just a human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivankov walked out, approaching under the curious gazes of Zoro and Kuina, still talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know you're not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus turned his head to look at the approaching Ivankov and asked in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if your ancestors were? But your race been wipe out long ago, and you're the only one left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro and Kuina nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Cyrus said made a lot of sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My parents were both human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivankov was taken aback and retorted subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's also possible. Like I said, over the long years, the Big-head Tribe nearly died out. The remaining ones married humans, and the bloodline was hidden. It just so happens that in your generation, the bloodline has reawakened in you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus said with a dead-serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is!\" Zoro said, a look of sudden realization on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't believe him. He's obviously talking nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zoro actually playing along, Ivankov was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This older kid was truly eloquent; he was starting to believe it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You say I'm talking nonsense, then show me the proof.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus was unperturbed, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Kuina and Zoro looked at Ivankov expectantly, clearly waiting for him to produce evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don't have any proof.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivankov hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could one produce evidence for something like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? Since you have no proof, that means it's indeed possible you're from the Big-head Tribe, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus spread his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivankov hesitated for a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this race something you just made up? I'm very knowledgeable about history, but I've never heard of such a tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another voice suddenly joined in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall figure in a hooded cloak walked over. His voice was sharp, sounding like the clash of metal when he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three blood-red question marks hovered above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monkey D Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The approaching Dragon was also sizing up Cyrus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after he finished discussing the food supplies with Koshiro, Koshiro had mentioned the highly talented youth who had recently arrived at the Isshin Dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon was naturally curious, so he came over to have a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that happened here naturally couldn't escape the perception of his Observation Haki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had witnessed the entire process of the two younger children being tricked, and even Ivankov being made unconfident by the sophistry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus's eyes scanned Dragon, lingering a little longer on the shoe print on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you put it that way, you have a point.\" Dragon nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief!\" Ivankov was a little embarrassed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Cyrus said was definitely wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any thoughts about going out to sea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon waved a hand at Ivankov, then looked at Cyrus and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to sea? No way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cyrus immediately shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was going to sea now or Dragon trying to recruit him, he had no intention of doing either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, your dream is to wait for these two to become powerhouses on the sea, then use their fame to eat without paying?\" Dragon was amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, during this food drive, Koshiro's side had collected much more than expected, and the reason, naturally, was the money this boy named Cyrus had provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that not allowed? Zoro, you're gonna treat your senpai once you're become famous right?\" Cyrus said, turning his head to ask Zoro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually felt it wasn't right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, if he was already the greatest swordsman, letting his junior eat without paying should be fine, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's... it's fine!\" Zoro nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon's gaze fell on Zoro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could already see that this green-haired kid was a dumbass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Koshiro said you're learning how to awaken your Armament Haki?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-05T17:57:20.097Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f419169c4ea059f5b52a743d2bfb01b79b841831fa48c3a967248f16479c3d3","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-17","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-15",263,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-bounty-hunter-king-cover.jpg"]
