Shimotsuki Town:
"What do you think you're doing, kid?" asked Old Man Kozaburo, glaring at a dark green-haired swordsman with three rings on his ear who held a sword.
"I want to ensure a smooth future life for my son. Did I do something wrong?" the man replied calmly.
"For Furiku's sake, I'll let you go now. Take off! I will consider myself not to have seen you today," Kozaburo replied.
"Sigh... Uncle Kozaburo, I need to get stronger. Why are you refusing to train me seriously? Did I do something wrong?" the man wondered sadly.
Kozaburo's eyes contained a strange gleam that soon disappeared. "If you want to become stronger, you have to rely on yourself! Who do you think I am? I'm just an old man who is quietly waiting for death..."
"My mom told me that you're the only person who can teach me Advanced Sword Arts in the entire East Blue. In order to protect my son's sword path and save my wife, I need to be stronger! Please, teach me, Uncle Kozaburo."
On the side, Koushirou shook his head seeing this scene.
"Hello, Arashi... how's Aunt Furiko doing?" Koushirou stepped forward to help Arashi, who was bending over at the moment.
"Oh, that's you, Koushirou... come and help me convince your father..."
"Both of you stop. There's no need to procrastinate. I have nothing to teach a brat like you. Go and create Zoro first and then come talk about the matter of your training. Also, you won't need to use your sword to protect a town that has an art store. If you think you're weak because you haven't been mentioned in Zoro's past that appeared in the manga, that's your problem."
"Zoro needs not so much a strong father as a living one..."
Arashi's eyes widened when he heard that. "Uncle Kozaburo, I need to be strong to stay alive..."
"So who told you to hold a sword and work as a rōnin without ability? Just put that sword aside and accompany your wife and mother at home... hush. You seem to be influenced by that useless father Pinzoro. I wonder what Ushimaru's reaction will be when he learns that his sister married a useless person who died from a few thugs, and his son is on the right path to be like him."
Arashi's eyes turned red when he heard that.
"...," he got up from his place and left quietly. The expression on his face looked very uncomfortable.
"Dad, you didn't need to say that, you know. you've been too hard on Arashi... Arashi-yo! Wait! Wait! Don't go!" Koushirou followed the man who seemed to have lost his soul.
"Tsk! How can one become strong if only a sharp tongue can wound him...? Whoever wants to use a sword has to be ready to be cut from his opponent, even if the latter does not have a sword!"
Unfortunately, Arashi did not hear Kozaburo's words and did not know that their purpose was only to test him. So, he showed that he was not qualified to be trained by Kozaburo.
...
"Arashi, please don't go! Dad was just testing your will and determination," pleaded Koushirou.
Arashi replied calmly, "I know he didn't mean that."
Koushirou wondered, "So why did you leave angry?"
"Because even if he didn't mean to, he insulted my late father. My father was a real man! I will not allow anyone to insult him, even unintentionally. Dad was not a strong person, he was not rich, and he did not hold any authority. But he loved us with all his heart, and he sacrificed his life for my mother and me to continue living."
Koushirou nodded in agreement when he want to talk...
"Well said. I've always had my doubts, but not anymore. You really are Zoro's future father."
The voice owner continued, "Strange, I wonder why Oda didn't draw you in the manga?"
Suddenly, a voice startled Koushirou and Arashi, causing them to tighten their grip on their swords. They looked around and didn't see anything.
"Don't worry, I'm not a threat," said the voice owner. "I just happened to overhear your conversation."
"We salute the protector, Sky Sword!"
Koushirou and Arashi showed respect and reverence for Rob.
"Haha! No need for these compliments, guys, I'm not a protector, I'm just a deterrent."
"I was passing by and saw something interesting. I heard a little about you in the past, but today I finally found out the whole truth. You really are Zoro's father. Can you tell me about the identity of the mother?" asked Rob excitedly.
Rob looked excited like a child who had found his favorite toy, quickly descended from the sky, and grabbed Arashi's tense shoulders.
Arashi didn't know what was going on.
What he didn't know is that Rob, before he came to this world, was a fanatical fan of Zoro, he had always been disappointed by Oda who didn't reveal anything about Zoro's background neither in the manga nor in the anime... Even in the SBS!
This continued even after the Wano arc ended which was 99% more likely for Oda to reveal Zoro's background and past there!
But even after the Wano arc ended, Rob did not see even the shadow of Zoro's background in the manga, unwilling he decided to find out for himself when he transmigrated to the world of One Piece... but although he came to this island several times, only this time he managed to find Zoro's real father!
It's not that he didn't think to search for him earlier using the name "Roronoa", but this man didn't advertise his family name widely and wasn't famous either, he even lived in a place far from the urban sphere!
"Ah! Zoro's mom? - ... She's my wife, her name is Terra... we only got married last year..."
Arashi felt nervous at the proximity of the excited Rob.
"Don't be nervous, man, haha! You are the father of a main character! You wanted to train to get stronger, right? How about joining my Hunters' Guild? You will definitely get stronger there."

Ohara:
Inside the Palace of Art:
"Sora, are you vomiting again?" asked Melona.
"Don't worry about me, it's just a little stress from training under big sister Olvia," Sora replied.
"That doesn't sound like stress. I've experienced this before. Maybe you're pregnant. How long have you been feeling this way?" Melona whispered.
"P-P-Pregnant? N-No, t-that's not possible," Sora blushed with embarrassment.
"I've been feeling strange too. Could I be pregnant?" Toki interrupted, accidentally overhearing their conversation.
"What? You too?" Melona was shocked.
Unbeknownst to Rob, after he took over the fate of Judge and Oden's sons, two of his wives got pregnant at the same time.
...
Before Rob's return to Ohara, a new art store advertisement appeared that caused a stir across the Seas World and sent waves that swept everything away.
the president of the World Economy News Paper and branches of traditional art stores in the New World, also one of the emperors of the Underworld, Morgans left everything in his hands and ran to write the big headline of his next newspaper with his own hand!
[Oh my God! One Piece manga doesn't give us a break! Can you feel how fast this month has passed? A new volume is coming!!!]
One Piece manga doesn't give us a break!
This title spread like wildfire and reached the Four Seas.
...
On the flying island, Merveille,
the Golden Lion lay inside the art store like a sleeping lion.
Suddenly, a yellow light enveloped the murals, which began to change.
The bright light blinded the Golden Lion, who had to get up from his nap because of the noise caused by his crew members.
[New Saga: Golden Lion Saga: Strong World!]
"Huh? Are my eyes deceiving me, or did I just read my name on the wall of the art store?"
"Maybe I'm dreaming, Jihahaha! I'll go back to sleep then."
