CH 8

The moment Kuina had faced his little brother in front of her, she knows that she's screwed. There's no way she can win this. Damn it.

"What's wrong Kuina? And don't ever spill those 'girls are weak' bullshit right to me now!" said Zoro as his enormous aura suddenly bursting out, making both father and daughter shaking in amazement.

"Oh! To think that my Zoro will reach to this level!" Koshiro exclaims with admiration.

"What the hell is this power!?" Kuina still can't believe this! To think that Zoro will be this strong, even stronger than her...

"Unbelievable!" Kuina screams in desperation as she rushes towards Zoro only to be blown by the green haired in one strike as the result.

"Kuinaaa!" Koshiro screams in horror seeing the state his daughter is in. this Zoro is definitely different from their Zoro! If their story is true, then neither Kuina nor him will even win this! He turns towards the three siblings, only finding that the youngest is grinning, obviously already knew that this will happen. He is the captain after all.

"So, do you believe us now?" Luffy asks, still grinning from the excitement after not seeing Zoro for a long time.

"Yes, yes. Although this seems ridiculous, but we believe you. Time travel did exist," said Koshiro, fixing his glasses as he sweats.

"Damn, you're really did become strong. I'm shocked," said Kuina as she tries to regain her composure and stands on her feet again before Zoro gives her his hand. Kuina grips his hand and stands up. "Shit! My knees are still trembling." Suddenly, they heard a loud laughs from certain mischievous siblings over there.

"Zoro! That's cruel! You use haki on her!" said Luffy, laughing.

"What are you? A 6th grader?" Ace cynically comments.

"Hahahaha! Zoro, aren't you have gone a little bit overboard for a kid?" Since Sabo can no longer contains the humor and thus, he laughs as loud as thunder while rolling on the ground intensely, leaving both of father and daughter in shocked.

"Don't laugh! Believe or not, I've already hold backed and I only release about 5% of my power!" And the statements is even shocking for Koshiro and Kuina. 5%?! How strong is Zoro now?!

"Wait…" But then, a realization instantly hits Kuina. "You're cheating! How could you used an unknown power on me when you know that I never learn those?! That's definitely a cheat!" Kuina shouts with dissatisfaction towards her brother.

"Well, how can you get stronger if I go easy with you? I don't think you'll like it too," Zoro answers as he sighs.

"Well, I know that, but…" Kuina pouts, unable to argue with the reason anymore. Okay, Zoro had a point about this. But still!

"Frustrating?" Luffy's honest little words really hits where it hurts the most. "Or it wasn't fair?" The second statements with an innocent smile from Luffy made it worse. It feels like 100 swords have been stabbing her nonstop. Kuina kneels in frustration. Damn this king…

However, this idiot idol king is we're talking about. He is fast reassuring Kuina that she can grow strong too if she practice enough. "Don't worry Kuina! You'll definitely reach Zoro's level if you do a lot of training! Oh, you might need to be mentally challenged too…" The relieved Kuina starts to get anxious again and her face suddenly becomes green. Mentally…challenged? So I have to be crazy like those guys too in order to become strong?

"Luffy, she will freaked out if you say like that," said Sabo, face palmed. How his brother did became king and even worst idol again? Oh, its charms, right? His stupid charms isn't it? Yeah it's definitely Luffy's charms!

"Well, it's not that Luffy is wrong, though," Zoro said as he nods in agreement. Grand Line is no sane sea for normal people to sail. Even the people there were insane. Not to mention that New World is even worst. He nods again, reminding all those adventure from their time with the whole crew. And automatically, he remembered how they were separated and how suffering those years were. He definitely won't want it to happen again. However, if they didn't separate, a lot of unwanted things will change it will becomes a meddlesome soon. Maybe that's why Luffy didn't want to set sail with the crew now.

Okay, there's no choice now. Train Kuina and they will get out from this island at 17. Full stop.

That night, Koshiro had prepared a feast before the ASL brothers leaving the island tomorrow. Luckily Zoro is there to mention how monstrous their appetites are so they didn't have problem to feed the three warm holes. And again, the brothers had amused the father and daughter. No wonder Zoro can be with them without worry.

And finally, it's time to set sail.
