"Hawk-eyed man?" Naruto asked, his head tilted in confusion. "Johnny mentioned something about him before," he recalled. "Who is he?"
"He's the man I've been searching for," Zoro replied cryptically.
Naruto's brow furrowed in bewilderment. "What? Why are you searching for him? Did he hurt you? Are you trying to get revenge for something? Do you want help finding him? Do—"
"Naruto!" Zoro's voice rose sharply. "For a second, would you just-" he paused, his voice softening as he noticed the confusion in Naruto's eyes. "Never mind," he said resignedly, shaking his head.
"How could one man take down an entire fleet?" Usopp interjected, his voice tinged with disbelief. "It doesn't make any sense," he added, his brow furrowed in thought.
"Beats me," Luffy chimed in with a shrug.
"There are rumors about him," Zeff interjected, his voice carrying a weight of solemnity. "If he holds a grudge against you, then..."
"He destroys our entire fleet?" Gin finished Zeff's thought, his expression incredulous. "I don't remember anything like that! He just attacked us out of nowhere," he insisted, his voice tinged with frustration.
"Perhaps you disturbed his afternoon nap," Zeff suggested with a hint of amusement.
"That's bullshit!" Gin retorted, his frustration mounting. "There's no way he would destroy our entire fleet just for that!"
"No need to get testy; that was just an example," Zeff reassured him, his tone calm. That's just the kind of place the Grand Line is—a place where even the abnormal is normal," he added, his voice tinged with a sense of resignation.
Naruto and Luffy couldn't contain their excitement at the mention of the Grand Line. "Doesn't that sound so much fun?" Naruto exclaimed, turning to his brother with a bright smile.
"Hell yeah!" Luffy agreed enthusiastically. "We definitely gotta go there!" he declared.
"Could you two idiots at least think about the danger?" Usopp interjected.
"Well, if that man is there, then I guess we have no choice," Zoro grinned.
"You guys are a bunch of idiots," Sanji chimed in, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he puffed his cigarette.
"What did you just say?" Naruto's voice crackled with anger as he turned to face Sanji, his eyes blazing with intensity.
"You idiots are the type of people who rush to their deaths," Sanji continued, his tone unwavering.
"Heh," Zoro chuckled, his laughter echoing across the deck. "I guess that's true, but I would rather you leave out the idiot part," he said, his voice filled with amusement and determination.
