A/N : This will be a one shot to test the waters, if it does well I will continue it. Takes place after what I think would happen if Zoro lost to Kuma to let everyone escape again after he gets powered up after timeskip . Humor me on how Zoro went into the SAO world, it was either this or he gets a mysterious letter / Mihawk sends him there to train more or he just poofs there. Warning : Super OP Zoro.

Sword Technique/Special Item/Stats
As Zoro flew threw the air, a strange ripple in the space time continuum opened up and Zoro flew into the world of SAO just as the Beta Test was about to end.
"Hmm, somehow a 1001th player has entered the Beta Test just before it ended and I can't remove him or shutdown the server. Very well, I shall let you continue to play my game, Roronoa Zoro."
'I might as well meet him and give him the proper introduction.'
"Link Start! System Login ID : GameMaster ."
"Let's see now, System Command : Teleport Player Here : Roronoa Zoro . "
In a flash of blue light, Zoro appeared in front of Kayaba, with his health bar in the low red.
"Wow he's barely hanging on here, won't be good to let him die now, the safety has been disabled. System Command : Heal Player : Roronoa Zoro ."
His facial features relaxed as he was brought back to max health.

'Well there hasn't been a security breach but this is not supposed to happen. I'll let it slide, it'll make it more fun to watch, if he starts to clear bosses too early I can just imprison him or something. Perhaps I should speak with him first.'
As if on queue, Zoro awoke.
"What happened? Where am I? Who are you?"
"My name is Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of this game."
"Game? What game? Nevermind, I need to go back and meet up with Luffy!"
"Luffy? You don't mean Monkey D. Luffy do you?"
"Yea, you know him?"
'It would appear that Roronoa Zoro has somehow crossed from the world of the popular anime One Piece into the world of the game Sword Art Online here, most interesting.'
"You have been sent into another world, Zoro, one much more different than the one you know. Only I can let you out but only if you complete all a series of trials. The first trial will be to defeat all a boss below this steel castle, when that is achieved, I will come to you to inform you of your next trial. You should receive something to help you understand this new world in a moment. Another 10,000 people will be joining you soon."
With that, Kayaba logged out in a flash of blue light.
"Wait a minute explain yourself!"
Item Added : Guide To New World For Roronoa Zoro
A book then suddenly materializes in a flash of blue light in Zoro's hand.
"Huh? What's this?"
'Raise your right hand then pretend to pull a switch downward.'
Zoro did as it said and the interface opened up.
"What the heck?"
'Look around the interface and for anything else consult the the Help button.'
'Guess there's nothing else to do now but try to familiarize myself with this place.'
One week later.
"Yosh! It's time to go into this dungeon thing."
"Wow there sure is a huge difference between up there and down here, it's all black and dull."
'Better get started!'
And so Zoro started walking. Soon the sounds of a frog army could be heard reverberating through the dungeon passageways.
"Huh?"
Behind him Zoro saw an army of over 200 Scavenger Toads hopping towards him.
"What's with all these frogs?!"
Zoro drew Shusui and got ready to fight off the frogs.
"Ittoryu : Sanjuroku Pound Ho!"
And sound of frogs being killed and pixelated follow after the wave of compressed air cut through the hallway.
"Tch, these things are weak."
Zoro collected the drops and head on his way, only to find even more Scavenger Toads around every corner.
'These things are everywhere, it's gonna take a while to find the boss room.'
On the day of game release, Zoro found himself in a hallway with a small room containing what looked like a rock. The walls suddenly change and the area changes to a violet blue colour.
"Whats happening?"
And with a clash of steel, Zoro's three swords are quickly drawn to block the giant scythe of a gigantic reaper like monster. Zoro repelled the beast with his swords and jumped back a few feet to get a good look at what he was fighting. The monster's name hovered above it head: 'The Fatal Scythe'
"Looks like the reaper himself has come to get me, well bring it on!"
Zoro readied his stance and prepares to fight it, the boss immediately attacks Zoro with a sidewards slash but Zoro jumps onto the scythe mid slash and jumps off it towards the boss' head.
"Oni Giri!"
The fatal scythe roars out in pain as its health bar immediately goes down to the red zone from Zoro's incredible attack and it switches attack patterns. It raises its arms to its sides and hundreds of miniature scythes spawn behind it and are hurled towards Zoro who retreated back to his original position. Zoro uses his three swords to block the scythes but he doesn't get them all and one manages to injure his left shin.
"Dammit, I need to take him down quick, that one scythe took off 1000hp. This thing ain't joking around. Those frogs were nothing compared to this thing."
Zoro kept his other two swords and decided to take the boss head on with Shusui, with a running start Zoro runs towards the boss then he leaps, targeting his torso area, barely dodging the main scythe as it slashes just where he had been a few seconds ago.
"Ittoryu : Hiryu-Kaen!'
The strike cuts cleanly through the fatal scythe and it is engulfed in azure flames, its health bar dwindles down to and it pixelates, the room returning to the way it was and its drops given to Zoro. Zoro headed towards the room he saw earlier while examining his reward and found that he had dropped something called a Bypass Point and a Trophy : The Fatal Scythe's Scythe. As Zoro enters the room, a blue light starts to emanate from the rock and a virtual button appears. Zoro pushes the button and in a flash of blue light, Kayaba appears in front of him.
"Ah, you finally completed the first floor, funny I expected you to finish it much faster than this. Give me a moment here while I check what took you so long."
Kayaba opened the map of recording Zoro's progress of this floor and smirked when he realized what took Zoro so long.
"Orientation Failure wasn't just for show, the boss room was literally the last part of the floor you reached and you somehow went back to the start after reaching so far into the dungeon. No matter, what matters is that you are here now, if I am correct you would have received a Bypass Point from the boss right?"
"You mean this thing?"
An aqua coloured orb materialized in Zoro's palm.
"Yes that, now each boss drops one and as you get more of these, you unlock more abilities and boosts. You can select which you want to have activated at these terminals here, at the end when you get the last Bypass Point, you will have a choice to either help free whatever remains of the other 10,000 people who are trapped in this world or be free yourself. You have another 99 floors to think about it."
Kayaba faced the terminal and opened up an interface and drags it for Zoro to see.
"Now you have a choice, with one Bypass Point you have unlocked your first system bypass. For now you have the choice between 5% More Dmg Dealt and 5% Less Dmg Received."
"I'll take the more damage dealt then."
"Right, now, there are 9 more system bypasses you can get. There are at 5, 15, 25, 35, 50, 65, 80, 99 and 100 Bypass Points. There is a terminal identical to this on every floor but I will appear on the floors with system bypasses to tell you about them. You can get to the next floor by standing on the terminal. O and here, catch!"
Kayaba throws a jug towards Zoro, he catches and examines it.
'Endless Sake Bottle'
Zoro took a swig of it and jumped onto the terminal.
"Ah that's some quality sake. Right, see you on floor 5 then I suppose."
With that, Zoro teleported off to the next floor.
