Period: Vol. 60, Chapter 678. Pg.16. Punk Hazard Arc
Chapter 15: Reborn
Hearing how Caesar managed to beat Luffy from Usopp made Zoro think twice. A Devil Fruit user that manipulates gas? Formidable, even to him. "We can't afford to be off our guards, or we'll all be dead!" he shouted to his long-nosed friend as they ran beside each other.
"Now, now," Usopp tried to sound light-hearted. "We're alive in the end."
But that wouldn't be enough and Zoro knew that. "I'm not joking!" He turned to the beams above him where he knew their captain was running on. "Hey, Luffy!" He called out.
At the nonchalant reply that Zoro received, the swordsman knew he had to set his captain straight. Fishman Island was barely the beginning, but Punk Hazard certainly wasn't going to be the end. He shouted with a voice that cut through the chaos around them. "Don't be careless! The "New World" starts here!"
Don't let our years of training be a waste—don't let my training be a waste.
"Yeah, sorry!" Luffy called back with a grin. "I'll be careful from on!"
Satisfaction flowed through Zoro at Luffy's words, but his blood did not stop boiling. He laid a hand on his sword, ready to draw and kill at any moment for it was early—too early for the past to be forgotten just yet.
