"WHAT DID YOU SAY??? NAMI SAILED OFF WITH THE GOING MERRY???" Everyone asked in shock as Zoro's friend nodded and began explaining, "Well it all happened in only a few minutes she pushed us off the ship and just sailed off."

"Zoro, Ussop go take their ship and go get Nami!" Luffy ordered. "That girls more trouble then she's worth." Zoro said, waving it off.

Luffy and Zoro then went into a staring contest and Zoro gave up and said, "Fine I'll do it. Come on Usopp, let's go."

Before Zoro was able to sail off to get Nami, Dracule Mihawk showed up to Zoro's shock.

"He's.. the greatest swordsman. Zoro said

'I never thought I would meet him so soon… This is my chance.' Zoro thought. Two of Don Krieg's men tried shooting Mihawk only for Mihawk to block the bullets with his sword.

"Did you use that sword to slice up their ship?" Zoro said, pointing his finger at the broken ship, "Indeed I did." Mihawk replied.

"I see, that means you are the greatest." Zoro said. "Well what is your goal?" Mihawk asked.

"To beat you." Zoro replied as he tightened his bandana. "Hmph how foolish." Mihawk said grinning as Zoro pulled out one of his swords.

"I must ask you why do you challenge me? Is it ignorance or courage?" Mihawk asked the green haired swordsman. "My ambition drives me… to become the greatest swordsman."

"I'll use this dagger to defeat you then." Mihawk said, taking out a small dagger. Zoro only scoffed.

Zoro charged at him and used his Onigiri only for it to be blocked with one small dagger. "What..? But how?" Zoro said as he continued to strike his swords to try and defeat the greatest swordsman… but no avail.

Mihawk was able to land a strike on Zoro, "You were defeated but yet you still don't step back?" Mihawk says.

"I can't run, I won't lose my honor. I'd rather die than give up " Zoro said. 'Such a strong spirit.' Mihawk thought.

"State your name." Mihawk asked the green haired swordsman. "I am Roronoa Zoro" Zoro stated as he was getting ready for his next attack.

"Good, I'll remember that. I shall defeat you with the strongest black sword in the world." Mihawk said as he took out his actual sword from his back.

Then both of them collided with their final attacks, unfortunately Zoro had lost. Zoro turned around to face Mihawk

"But why?" Mihawk asked.

"Scars on the back are a swordsman's shame." "Fine." Mihawk agreed as he took his sword and hit Zoro.

"ZOROOOOOO!" The straw hats yelled. "WIND MAGIC: FLY!" Luffy yelled as he flew at high speeds towards Zoro.

"There's nothing to be upset about… your friend will live." Mihawk said to everyone's joy. The straw hats took Zoro out of the water.

"I SWEAR THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I'LL EVER LOSE." Zoro declared to Luffy.

Suddenly Don Krieg tried attacking Mihawk only for Mihawk to dodge and just leave.

"HEY Ussop go on ahead we'll leave Nami to you!" Luffy said as Ussop nodded.

"Luffy!" Lucy said. "Yeah, what is it Lucy?" Luffy asked.

"Well I was just thinking we have Zoro train.." Lucy said, smirking. "Train..? How?" Luffy asked, confused.

"Did you already forget about your devil fruit? Why don't we send Zoro to a new dimension to train his swordsman skills." Lucy asked.

"You're right! That's a great idea! Let's go ask him." Luffy said as he used his wind magic to fly back to Zoro.

"Hey Zoro… Why don't you say and you train?" Luffy asked the green haired swordsman. "Train, how?"

"Well you see my devil fruit allows me to send people to different dimensions, the shunpo shunpo no mi. That's how I learned how to use wind magic and nen." Luffy began.

"And you stay there for an entire year and after that year you'll be sent back to this world, or Luffy could send you back. and only an hour would have passed in this world." Lucy added.

"What? That sounds crazy, but what could I expect from a captain like you…" Zoro said as everyone began grinning.

"Alright what are you waiting for? Send me already." Zoro said eagerly. "Wait! By yourself? But wouldn't you want me to come with you?" Lucy asked Zoro.

"No, even with these wounds I can still manage on my own… I'll figure out how to get stronger in this world and I'll come back and get 2 new swords since the ones I had broken from Mihawk." Zoro stated.

"HAHAHA, I like it! portal open!" Luffy said as a portal suddenly opened and Zoro stood up to walk inside the portal.

'Even with his wounds he still manages to find the strength to stand up. I can't be outdone!' Lucy thought to herself.

With Zoro

"Damn it, I used all my strength just to walk inside this portal. I guess there wouldn't be any harm if I just slept here for a little bit…" Zoro said as he began sleeping on the floor.

4 hours later

"Man I'm hungry.. Wait where am i? Oh right I'm in a new dimension but why am I in a house?" Zoro asked himself.

"Oh so you're finally awake, that's great. I'm Kisuke Urahara. What about you?" A man wearing green clogs and a green and white striped bucket hat.

"Oh I'm Roronoa Zoro. Uh, I'm just a traveling guy moving here." Zoro said coming up with a lie that Kisuke saw through easily.

"Oh really? I also saw that you also carried a sword with you, how interesting." Kisuke said as he took out his fan.

"Give me my sword back!" Zoro yelled. "Woah woah don't get too feisty there, HEY URURU BRING HIM HIS SWORD!" The shopkeeper called for someone named Ururu.

Then a girl with 2 ponytails that didn't look any older than 9 came out. "Here you go…" The girl said, giving the swords to Zoro.

"Um, thanks." Zoro said, taking his sword back.

"So why are you here in our world? What's your goal?" Kisuke said, suddenly becoming serious. "So you already knew huh… I've come here from a different world to gain strength." Zoro declared.

"Strength? That's all you wish for. I see, well I can help you with that." Kisuke said, smiling. "And what do you gain by helping me?" Zoro asked.

"All I need for you is to work here at my shop for as long as I train you. And to also help in defeating hollows around Karakura town." Kisuke said.

"I see, I'm not sure what a hollow is but I'll do what I can." Zoro said.

2 weeks later.

'Damn it this little girl is so strong she's been able to beat me for the last two weeks, I need to somehow become a soul reaper…' Zoro thought as he continued fighting Ururu.

"Zoro, Focus! Remember that you have to pour your spiritual pressure into your sword in order for it to transform into a zanpakuto!" Kisuke instructed the boy.

'Right FOCUS!' Zoro said to himself as he focused all of his spiritual pressure into his zanpakuto, suddenly zoro woke up in a mountain.

"So you finally arrived, Zoro?" A man said to the green haired swordsman.

"And just who are you?" Zoro asked. "So you don't recognize me, your own partner? I'll always be there to fight with you!" The man said as Zoro was sent out of his mindscape and now faced Kisuke and Ururu finally unlocking his zanpakuto.

"You finally did it, let's continue training then." Kisuke said.

12 months later.

Zoro wasn't as fast a learner as somebody like Ichigo since he wasn't a soul reaper, but he still was able to learn shikai and was close to achieving bankai. When Zoro gets all of his swords back then he will be at full power.

Zoro has met a orange haired kid named Ichigo and he helped Ichigo train and he also helped Ichigo save Rukia from the soul society.

"I guess it's about time for me to leave…" Zoro said.

"Will miss you!" Orihime,Uryu,Chad, Ichigo, and Urahara said in unison as Zoro walked off back to his world.
