Zoro's doubt had just emerged. Edmund, who had been watching everything in front of William's eyes, suddenly took action.

Among the many cadres under William, Edmund is one of the best in his strength. This is because he learned swordsmanship in Yixin Temple when he was very young, which laid a solid foundation for him, secondly because of his good talent, and finally because of his personality.

Although Edmund's personality is a bit stubborn, he is actually somewhat similar to Zoro's, so his training is also among the best among his companions.

Years of accumulation, coupled with exchanges and discussions with William and a group of companions, and the actual combat at sea over the years have already increased Edmund's strength to a bottleneck. Until today, William just told him that he would cut with Koshiro and Yixin Temple in the future, which he had lived since childhood, when he walked in the courtyard that was already very familiar to previous years and felt the grass and trees in this place in his memory, a string suddenly seemed to be plucked in his mind.

Edmund heard the sound of external objects.

Edmund drew his sword out of the sheath with a very standard Juhe chopping action. With a crisp sound of "Dang", Zoro flew out. The two swords in his hand were also broken into two pieces, and the words Hedao were thrown far above.

William stretched out his hand without raising his head and caught the fallen He Dao Yi text. A strong man in black suit from the rear of the team picked up the scabbard that Zoro had thrown on the ground with a wink.

"I can't even hold a knife, but I have to take three more knives?" William took He Dao Yi back the scabbard and said disdainfully, "I overestimate myself."

His words were exactly the same as what Guina said when she satirized Zoro.

"The strength is weak, and I don't understand this principle?" William inserted the words of He Dao back to his waist, "You are not qualified to let me take action."

Zoro struggled to get up from the ground and stared at William: "Give me the knife back!"

William took out a handkerchief and wiped Zoro's saliva stuck to the knife handle, and said lightly: "You are not worthy of taking such a good sword. Besides, this is Guina's sword, and you are not qualified to take it."

Zoro stood up unyieldingly, picked up two broken knives, and rushed towards William again. This time William finally took action. He pulled out He Daoyi's words and pulled it to his right temple before Zoro reacted.

Zoro immediately flew backwards at a faster speed than the rush.

William kept his hand, otherwise with his current strength, even with the scabbard, he could easily kill someone. A wound broke into Zoro's temple, leaving blood on his body. Although he fainted, he was not worried about death.

William turned and left, but after he took two steps, he suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart. A strange thing came from the square of fate in his consciousness. A new specialty appeared, and under the control of his mind, it appeared before his eyes.

Background expertise:

[Swordsman's Obsession]: You are committed to challenging and defeating important goals on the road to becoming Roronoa Zoro's swordsman.

William couldn't help but look back at Zoro who was fainting on the roadside. The appearance of this expertise proved that Zoro's identity was extraordinary. Until now, William has almost figured out the context of some of the fate squares. Being able to influence someone, instead of making a big deal that affects the crowd and many others, a single expertise can only show that this person has an extraordinary status, either with some hidden identity or with important roles in the original work.

In William's vague memory, it seems that there is a young man with green hair following him by his protagonist. Is this child named Zoro?

But then, William turned around and continued to walk towards the dock.

Zoro had Koshiro back to protect him, but William had no chance to recruit him.

In the original work, Zoro studied swords in the dojo for nearly ten years, but still had no involvement with the Revolutionary Army. Finally, he went out to sea to find his own goals. Although William did not know these, he at least knew that whether it was himself, Akin, Alamis, Wallon, or Edmund, during the days when he learned swords, Koshiro never relied on his teacher's identity to pull them onto the chariot behind Koshiro.

Since this is the case, Koshiro would be even more unlikely to watch William turn the dojo students into his own soldiers, Akin, Alamis and Wallon because he formed a gang with William from the beginning. Edmund also wanted to become a pirate since he was a child and took the initiative to move closer to William, but Zoro was different.

Even before today, William had the idea of ​​winning over Zoro, but he was blocked by Koshiro, let alone the two sides had a disastrous present.

...

At night, William stood on the bow deck, looking at the direction of Frost Moon Village, and was stunned. Edmund, who was also unable to sleep, came to the bow and saw William's figure. He was also stunned for a moment, and then walked to William's side.

Edmund scratched his head and said in a complicated tone: "Is what I did today a bit too much?"

"But fire," William still stared at the distance and said calmly, "Danpil once told me something that after One Piece was arrested, no matter whether it was guilty or not, those who were involved with One Piece were found and sentenced by the world government and the navy. The shipmaker in the Seven Water Capital was actually nothing. When the world government and the navy received information, One Piece Roger might have left offspring on a small island. In order to find Roger's children, do you know what the world government and the navy did?"

Edmund shook his head blankly.

William said expressionlessly: "The world government and the navy generals found all the babies born within ten months of Roger's prison, and even pregnant women, and then all the suspects were executed."

Edmund grew up and was not a rude person. He had killed many people at sea over the years, but he was not as crazy as the world government and the navy.

"If we want to achieve the same achievements as One Piece Roger, we must be aware of enduring the same punishment," William looked at Edmund. "No one dares to guarantee that he will never fail. If failure only requires one's own life, then how can he act recklessly? But if it will save many people's lives, you must be very cautious."
