Journey to One Piece

"How is this possible? You don't look fast but you could easily dodge them?" Zoro asked but only could easily feel the shame when he asked that.

"Even if you would have landed your sword, you still wouldn't have been able to hurt Ken." Luffy as he finished his meat.

"Huh!! He is made of skin and bones. He will die if I land a sword at him." Zoro argued.

"Why don't you try." Ken challenged.

"Are you nuts? Do you even know what you are saying? Did I join an idiot ship?" Zoro was questioning his choice of joining this group. He accepted that Ken was powerful as he had seen him with his axe but then declaring that even his sword wouldn't be able to hurt him was just plain bullshit.

"C'mon, you will know if you try." Ken encouraged Zoro. Zoro looked at Luffy who was nonchalant about it. Zoro had lost the 'touch clothes' duel so now in order to get some payback he agreed and finally swung his sword at Ken at the direction of his left hand.

He didn't use too much power as he was a little scared that something would happen to Ken and would bleed a lot later. But the real scare came for Zoro as the moment his sword touched the hand of Ken, he couldn't move forward.

It was as if he couldn't move his sword a single inch more. There was no blood, no cuts... nothing!! His sword seemed like it had struck a stone.

"What the hell are you two? Can devil fruits be that powerful?" Zoro was heartbroken.

"Some devil fruits would allow your sword to pass through their body and it wouldn't even hurt them." Ken said. Zoro got silent but after a moment of thought he was energetic again. He was aiming for being a swordsman not to kill people who had weird devil fruits so it didn't matter.

If Ken had heard his thoughts, he would have used his hammer on the head of Zoro. It was idiotic to think like that.

"By the way Ken, would you allow Zoro to pass through?" Luffy asked.

"Of course, if he decides to do so." Ken replied.

"Pass through? What does that mean?" Zoro was confused.

"Luffy, show him." Ken said. Luffy then used a ninjutsu. The most famous ninjutsu known to most people.

Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Another Luffy appeared in front of him. Zoro was visibly shaken seeing this. Like most men he too was fascinated by the ninjas and he just saw Luffy performing that. He was pretty sure that Luffy was a rubber man and had nothing to do with ninjas.

"You are a ninja?" Zoro asked as he was a bit excited. Ken didn't know from where these people had consumed the knowledge of ninjas. It seemed like everyone knew of ninjas. When the crew were in anticipation of meeting Raizo who was a ninja everyone had the same reaction. Even Law was a little excited to meet a ninja.

"Yes. It's amazing isn't it? I became a ninja because Ken had helped me with his Devil fruit." Luffy replied. Ken then explained what his 'devil fruit' was and how a person could lead a life in another world.

"You mean I can live the life of a swordsman in another world? Are there other worlds?" Zoro asked.

"Of course there are other worlds. And I am not sure if you will live the life of a swordsman. Luffy got to be a ninja and was lucky enough to get the character of a powerful character. You might get a very weak person. It's all on luck." Ken said.

"But then I will be able to complete the character fast and again go to simulation." Zoro said as he understood the main point of the 'Devil Fruit' of Ken.

"Theoretically yes."

"Good. Then I will continue doing this until I get a swordsman. Of course if you allow me to go through." Zoro said as he still had a sense of measure. He was new to the ship and he couldn't demand much. They weren't childhood brothers like Ken and Luffy.

"Of course I would allow it. Didn't you say that you want to defeat him? So doing that would need a lot of experience. You have seen how I dodged you. He can do it at a much faster rate." Ken said. Zoro clenched his teeth. There was no way he would accept himself being weak and thus was motivated to go through the simulation.

"Good. Take me." Zoro said. Ken then looked at Luffy and said

"Do you want to see how Zoro will spend his new life?" Ken asked.

"I can see it too?" Luffy was surprised about it but was elated that he could see another world.

"Why not. Only a minute will pass by here." Ken said.

"Take me too."

"Alright."

"System, take Zoro for a simulation."

[

The subject Roronoa Zoro is being selected. Due to special circumstances with the subject, the subject will go through 3 consecutive simulations and only after finishing three will he be able to get out.

]

"Three? Why?"

[

The subject could be labelled as incarnate of Asura and thus having two extra forms which could be called when he fights and for this reason the subject considers Zoro as three people.

]

"What luck!!!" Ken cursed. In the future at times Zoro did use the Asura form to fight but it was only momentary. The system seemed to take that small thing into account that would happen in the future. What a way to overpower some people!!

[

Does the host wish to continue?

]

"Yeah yeah! Do it."

[

Command accepted. Selecting a world and character for the subject. Character selected. Simulating the subject. Have a safe journey.

]

Zoro, who had been standing beside them, vanished. Luffy and Ken were eager to see what kind of character Zoro got and which world he was sent to. The first scene was a set of twins being born in a period which looked like old Japan.

The child which Zoro was selected as the character had a red mark on the right side of the  forehead.
