Zoro slept for a whole day and night, and still showed no sign of waking up.

The doctor in the village checked his body and found nothing wrong. As for why he couldn't wake up, it was probably because he subconsciously didn't want to wake up.

A group of little carrot heads sat around the bedside to guard Sauron, crying and chanting to him: "Brother, please wake up quickly, Sister Anne said she will come back."

"Woooooo~ Senior brother, wake up quickly~"

Koushiro had a big head. He pressed his temples and drove a group of children to eat.

I took out my phone and dialed, and the other party answered quickly: "Hello."

"Dolag, it's me. How's it going? Is there any news?"

"Mr. Koushiro, the news I received this morning is that a merchant ship did leave from the East China Sea. It should have passed through the windless zone and headed for Mariejoia. I have sent people to intercept it."

"Thank you, Dorag, please save that child. Yesterday was the child's birthday..."

"I know, we will do our best to rescue." Dorag said solemnly.

Putting down the phone, Dolag said in a low tone: "That child was also at this age when he passed away, right?"

"Huh? Are you talking about Mr. Koushiro's daughter? Yes, he actually suffered the same blow again." Ivankov also felt a little uncomfortable.

"Inform the hidden stake in Shampoo Land to pay attention to the nearest slave trading market."

"It is unlikely that it will flow into the market. If it is secretly sent to Mariejoia, the rescue will be too difficult. It is too close to the Navy headquarters." Ivankov looked worried.

"Let's do our best. Mr. Koushiro has helped us a lot."

"I see."

Zoro ran in the endless darkness. He could no longer remember how long he had been running, and he didn't know why he was running.The endless darkness brought him great fear. He couldn't see anything, and there was no sound. He could only hear his own rapid heartbeat, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" It was like a hammer hammering in his body. hit.

"What is this place? Why is there no exit? Why can't I leave here?"

"What should I do? I still need to practice swordsmanship. Yes, I still have a lot to do!"

A glimmer of light appeared in front of him, Zoro was shocked and ran towards the bright place.The door of the dojo appeared in front of him. He stopped at the door and opened it hesitantly. In the yard, a short-haired girl was wielding a sword.

Seeing Sauron come in, she said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so slow? Aren't you going to challenge me? How can a challenger be late!" After saying that, she threw the wooden knife to Sauron, "Come on! Let me see what you have. What an improvement.”

Zoro caught the wooden sword, but he was still a little confused, as if he had forgotten something important.But Guina on the opposite side didn't give him time to think, and came over with a knife.The sound of swords clashing could be heard in the dojo.

"Hey! Why are you so distracted lately? It's taboo to lose your focus in battle. Are you a beginner?" Kuina threw the wooden knife back into the bucket. "No more fighting, it's boring." She turned around and sat on the steps next to her.

Zoro held the knife and sat down next to her. "I seem to have forgotten a lot of things."

Guina tilted her head to look at him: "Is this important?"

"It should be something very important, a very important person. But I don't have any memory."

"Isn't it good to be here? We used to do this too, practicing swordplay every day, and you were very happy before."

"I don't know, but I always feel that it shouldn't be like this."

Guina looked at him. The boy's eyes were clear and clean, but they were full of confusion.

"What if the price you pay for remembering those memories is that I disappear?"

"Isn't it nice here? Let's practice swordplay together and work hard for our dreams together."

Zoro looked at her blankly, his lips opening and closing, but not a word came out.

Seeing his stunned look, Guina burst out laughing.

"Is it difficult to choose? But I already know your answer!" Kuina looked up at the sky, "I am your inner demon, and I exist because of your obsession. I am you, I Know more about yourself than you do.

I can see your heart, your fears and joys, and I naturally know what you value most now. "

He was silent for a long time: "Will you disappear?"

"I don't know, who knows? Maybe."

Guina reached out and brushed his wrist, "Go, she's waiting for you."

The red rose on the wrist is clearly extinguishing. When did this mark appear?Oh, by the way, she carved this magic mark because she kept getting lost.She said that with this mark, she could find her wherever she was.who is she?

A figure gradually became clear in her mind, and she frowned and marked herself: "Idiot, all your talent points for finding directions are added to your swordsmanship, right?"

She smiled and raised her eyebrows, "As expected of brother Sauron, he specializes in treating children who cry at night."

She tugged at the hem of her clothes and said coquettishly, "Let's go, let's go, the merchant ship has arrived, let's go see what new things we have."

She waved at the shore, "Go early and come back early. Pay attention to safety and don't get hurt! You can't run around alone, you will get lost!"

Yes, it's Anelia, she was captured, I have to save her!

Zoro stood up and rushed towards the gate of the dojo, but suddenly stopped. Just as he was about to turn back, a hand on his back pushed him out of the gate.He smiled, did not look back, and just shouted loudly: "I will not forget our agreement! I will definitely become the world's number one swordsman and let my name resound throughout the heavens!"

"Annie!" Zoro opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"You finally woke up." Koushiro picked up a towel and wiped his sweat.

Zoro held down the hand that was wiping his sweat and said eagerly: "Annie..."

Koushiro retracted his hand silently.No words.

"Teacher, what can I do? Tell me, I'm going to save her!"

"The news just came this morning. A merchant ship bound for Mariejoia in the East China Sea exploded not far from the Shampoo Islands. There were no survivors on board."

"The person I contacted went to the scene to check, and it was Vaughan's boat."

Sauron's mind went blank, his eyes were blank, and he murmured blankly: "How could it be? How could she die?"

In a daze, he remembered what his teacher said to him two years ago. "Zoron, tell me, why is human life so fragile?"

"Teacher, why? Why do they have to encounter all this? Why can't I do anything every time? I can't do anything, I'm a waste, I'm useless, I can only watch all this happen... Why? Why ?Ah~~”

Zoro beat his head in pain.His body couldn't stop shaking, the meridians on his neck stood up tremblingly, his face turned red, and his eyes were red with tears streaming down his face.

Koushiro did not stop him from hurting himself, but just watched it all silently.No matter whether you vent it out, accumulating such emotions in your heart will only make you feel more uncomfortable.

After a while, Zoro slowly calmed down.Brushing his fingers over the rose mark on his wrist, Sauron clenched his fists and spoke firmly with a cry: "Anne must still be alive!"

"Teacher, I want to become stronger. I must have the power to protect the people around me. I will never allow this to happen again."

"The road to becoming a strong person is never an easy one, and you may pay for it with your life at any time. Now that you have decided, just go for it! I think you will be able to find your own path to becoming a strong person."
