"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"If I lay my hand on Strawhat now, my honor would be at stake," Kuma stated.
After seeing how determined Zoro is to sacrifice himself, Kuma decided to fulfill his wish.
Zoro expressed his gratitude, saying, "I would be eternally grateful."
Kuma picked up the unconscious Luffy and spoke reassuringly to Zoro. "Rest assured, I will leave him unharmed. However, you are about to experience HELL!"
Kuma's hand, resembling a cat's paw, touched Luffy's belly.
Luffy's body began to secrete a hideous red bubble, which expanded into a massive bubble that also resembled a cat's paw.
This was one of the abilities of Kuma's Devil Fruit, Nikyu-Nikyu no Mi, as he had previously announced.
"What I am repelling from his body now...is pain and fatigue, all the damage inflicted on him in his battle against Moria is accumulated here. If you wish to die in his place, then you must receive his suffering. Since you don't have much life left in you, taking this pain will only lead to your DEATH!"
Kuma removed a small ball from the larger pain ball and threw it toward Zoro, saying, "Have a try."
As soon as it entered his body, Zoro let out a piercing scream. "UWA...GEFU!! GUWAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Kuma asked him for his opinion on the experiment. "Well...?"
Zoro quickly stood up and said, "Just let me...decide on the location."
He rushed towards the large pain ball and hugged it without a second thought, taking on his captain's suffering.

Shimotsuki Town:
"What an unshakable iron will..."
"What a strong, fearless spirit..."
"What steely loyalty carries in his heart..."
"This kid... Really... I see in him the shadow of the ancestor..."
"That's why you gave him your dear sword, Ryuma... Have you seen his true spirit with your dead eyes?"
Old man Kozaburo's being was shaken as he read the content of the legendary chapter.
He had been reading this manga for three years now, discovering many legendary scenes that he felt he was experiencing firsthand. However, he now realized that the scene he had just read was the undisputed number one, and no other scene could ever surpass it.
"... Because what this scene embodies is not just self-sacrifice, but also the will of a true Swordsman, the will that belongs to the king of the swordsmen. This boy definitely has it... the Conqueror Haki," Kozaburo announced quietly.
"How did you conclude this, father?" Koushirou wondered.
"Even if he doesn't have it now, it's only because he hasn't awakened it yet. Don't tell me why, an ordinary swordsman can't have Zoro's spirit... I see that he will be the greatest swordsman in this world in the future. He is the pride of our clan. I've decided. I'm going to make him marry my granddaughter Kuina...!! Go and call that moron who calls himself 'Roronoa' over here. Tell him he has to hurry up and have his son, too."
"Father... didn't you want to go look for Moria? Why did you stop? Please go then..."
"Stop being rude! Someone like Moria doesn't deserve me to take a step! Go and do what I told you to do!"
Kozaburo took out his pipe, ready to teach his disobedient son a lesson.
The Roronoa he was talking about, he must be the father of that person nicknamed 'marimo'... Right?
...
Thriller Bark Island:
"What on earth is this?" exclaimed Moria.
While seeing the events of the manga going south toward the survival of Luffy and his companions, He frowned, then grew angry, and finally felt despair.
"Why haven't you killed them yet, Bartholomew Kuma?" he demanded.
"What are you trying to do? Won't you kill them? Why did you accept Zoro's offer?" he continued.
"Killing Zoro alone is not enough... kill Mugiwara!" he added.
As Moria continued to read, his desperation only grew. Eventually, Kuma left, revealing a terrible truth about his relationship with the Revolutionary Army.
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"Your son is truly amazing to have found such loyal companions, Dragon," announced Kuma with interest as he stood at the gate of the Thriller Bark Ship, indicating that he had completed what he came for there.
...
Returning to the Battle Arena, Lola shouted to wake everyone up: "Hey, is everyone still alive?!"
There was a loud scream in response to her question.
"He must have assumed we were dead after that explosion and left! That Kuma guy! Hah! We showed him!" exclaimed one of the group.
...
Franky looked at Luffy, who was actively jumping around just after waking up. "Are you kidding me? How are you feeling?" he asked.
Luffy replied energetically, "Look at me! My body feels really relaxed! What's going on?"
Chopper was shocked and shouted, "EEEEEEEEEEH? What?!"
Usopp yelled, "Liar! How is this possible?"
Robin giggled and said, "Maybe he's so badly hurt that he's not making sense anymore."
Sanji, who was not paying attention to what was happening behind him, started to look for Zoro. "How can he be okay? Where did that guy go? Could it be...?"
"Over there!" Sanji shouted.
Sanji was horrified by the bloody scene he saw and thought that Zoro was already dead. "Hey, are you still alive? Where did that guy go? What the hell happened here?!"
Finally, Zoro responded with words that would remain ingrained in the minds of readers forever: "Nothing... Nothing at all...!!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"..."
"Did he really just say nothing happened...?"
"This is impossible!"
Moria's eyes widened in shock to the point where they almost popped out of their sockets. He couldn't believe that someone could stand up and talk as if nothing had happened in such a situation.
"Is he even human?" Moria's voice trembled as he spoke.
At that moment, the fear of Luffy that the manga had left ingrained in his heart receded, to be replaced by a new fear of Zoro...!!
In Moria's view, Zoro was more dangerous than Luffy!! He believed that Zoro was the undisputed hero of this arc!
...
Ohara:
The place was shrouded in absolute silence, and the sound of the readers' absent-minded breathing was audible.
No one had seen it coming. Nobody could have predicted that the situation would suddenly turn into a legendary scene.
Zoro, who had stolen the spotlight from Luffy, who had defeated Moria, left a deep impression on the readers' hearts with his words "Nothing happened" and his blood dripping from his body. They were still in a stupor and couldn't shake themselves out of it.
...
Brook expressed his admiration for Zoro, saying, "What a man, Zoro-san." He couldn't find better words than these to describe what Zoro did in the manga.
Clover sighed lightly and added, "He embodied the meaning of self-sacrifice and ambition... he truly is a real man."
Vegapunk, as a scientist, commented, "Since he is still alive after those fatal injuries, he will gain great benefits from his training."
...
Doflamingo calmly analyzed the situation, connecting the dots and rationally analyzing the events of the manga. "So Kuma announced that he knows about Dragon... The world government is not foolish, they can deduce that Kuma is a double agent in the manga."
"I'm guessing the world government will classify Kuma as a revolutionary after this chapter and put a bounty on his head... Fufu~ this is getting more interesting... I wonder what Bartholomew Kuma's background is."
