Dreams And Future Goals

"I want..... to be the strongest." the world seems to slow down as time seems to stop. Grandma chiyo was stunned, she could tell in her very being how serious he was. She asked him "But why?? Is it that important?" a little perplexed.

Zoro tells her the rest of his wants. "I want to be the strongest because the strong can do what they want. I wish to become the greatest mangaka in the world, get a wife and settle down in this sleepy village with her and have a family. To do that I have to be the strongest, the strong live off the weak. It's the same everywhere, if I were to just be a mangaka and not be strong, then any strong villain could kill my family or any other dark things. Only the strong live how they want."

Chio was once again stunned as her grandson finished. She knew without a doubt that he was serious, sometimes she forgets that he is also very smart and intuitive. What he said is also the wisest thing she's ever heard him say, causing her to tear up as she thinks of the baby she found on her doorstep becoming such a fine young man. He may be 4 now but eventually he will be a man and she is proud to be there to witness it. She shed some tears and hugged him once again, thanking him for heeding to her wish. She now knew that he could get there if he tried. Now she'll support him in his endeavors knowing that he was being true to himself.

Zoro hugged her back before leading her home. He'll rest today with his granny, because starting tomorrow he'll keep his word and become strong no matter the obstacles. He was unaware that reality had rippled around him when he spoke his truth, unaware of how strong he'll be by the end, and unaware of just how much problems he'll cause for others in the future. He just knew that his goals were now set and he would stick by them no matter what!
