After a few moments of thinking, Zoro questioned, "Alright, can you tell me how weak I am from Mihawk"

"I don't want to discourage you but currently, the difference between you and him is this much."

Saying so, Leo stands from the chair and put one hand on the floor and another hand almost above his head.

When Zoro saw that, his eyes widened.

"Impossible, I know there is a gap, but there can't be such a huge gap," Zoro shouted

Leo clapped his hand and said, "Can you even cut steel with your sword or can you cut what you want and not cut what you don't want to,"

After hearing this question, Zoro remembers his teacher's words and quietly muttered, "No!"

Leo let out a chuckle after hearing his answer and said, "how much strength or skills, you think is required to cut a small island in half with only a single strike,"

And looking at Zoro, who was too stunned to speak, Leo replied to his own question with a smile, "Very powerful or very skilled, right,"

After hearing his answers, Zoro, who was absentminded after hearing that Mihawk is powerful enough to destroy an island in a single blow, replied in a resolved tone, "Yes, but I set out in the seas to achieve my dream and to fulfill my promise, So, even if I die trying, I will still try to surpass him!"

"Of course, you will surpass him in the future, but now let's continue the explanation of Devil Fruit," Leo smiled after seeing Zoro getting more motivated to get strong,

"Devil Fruits are the mysterious, distinctive fruits scattered throughout the world, known for granting their eaters permanent superhuman powers and an inability to swim."

"They are said to be an incarnation of the devil. Well, at least, that is what most people believe it to be,"

"And the superhuman powers can from seemingly harmless to inherently mass-destructive," Leo chuckled after seeing the solemn look on Zoro's face at the fact that people can gain supernatural powers by just eating the fruit.

"Currently, there are three kinds of Devil Fruits. Paramecia Devil Fruit, Logia Devil Fruit, and Zoan Devil Fruit."

"Paramecia is one of the three Devil Fruit types, being the most common. It allows the consumer to achieve one of a large variety of abilities that enables them to become superhuman or perform a superhuman feat,

And every Paramecia ability can be placed in three general categories: altering the user's body, altering the environment, and generating a substance. Some fruits fall into one of these categories, while others fall into multiple depending on usage."

"Like a person that can generate vibration, or a person whose body can transform into a blade are the example of some," Leo explained.

" Zoan-type Devil Fruits gain the ability to transform into an animal, as well as transform into a hybrid form.

And there are three known sub-classifications of Zoan-type Devil Fruits:

Normal Zoan- transform their users into animals that currently exist,

Ancient Zoan- allow the user to transform into an extinct species, such as dinosaurs. Ancient Zoans are rare, and they are more potent than regular Zoans.

Mythical Zoan - allow the user to transform into mythological creatures, such as a dragon or a phoenix. Mythical Zoan animals tend to have special powers, like a phoenix Zoan being able to generate flames that have healing powers or a Lion Zoan being immune to most attacks. Mythical Zoans are the rarest type of Devil Fruit, even more so than Logias," Leo stated.

After saying it, Leo points at himself and brags, "And I'm a Mythical Zoans, to be precise I have eaten Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Nemean Lion which grants me unbreakable skin and some other abilities,"

"So, that's why my attacks were not working on you," Zoro said with a profound look on his face as if he had solved a great mystery,

"Yes, but it has some weaknesses that we will talk about later," Leo explained,

"And, Logia Devil Fruit turns your body into elements or anything natural such as Lightning, Sand, Fire, and even Light. They are the most difficult to deal with because if you attack them, your attacks will phase through their bodies without hurting them,"

"Wait, then how can someone defeat those people?" Zoro interrupted Leo.

"At least with you, the attacks that give internal damage or attack that hits your eyes can hurt you, but with them, any attacks will pass through them, so how can someone defeat those people?" Zoro groaned.

Leo sighed, "There are two ways to defect such enemies. First, you need to find their element's weakness. For example, if you use water against a Sand Devil Fruit user, then you can hit him. And it doesn't have to be seawater. Any water can work."

"Of course, if you come in contact with a Sand Devil Fruit user, that person can suck water from your body, try not to get sucked dry." Leo said while chuckling at his own joke.

"What about the second type?" Zoro asked immediately while selectivity ignore his last comment.

After he found that this method frankly doesn't suit him, as he primarily uses swords, it would be hard to win without them.

Leo closed his eyes for a moment and dramatically opened them and disclosed, "Throw them in the sea,"

"WHAT!!"

"Hahaha, just kidding, but who knows, you can use this method if the Devil fruit user is really dumb and let you throw him in sea," Leo laughed but stopped after seeing the deadpan expression on Zoro's face,

"Sheesh!!, can't you take a little joke," Leo lamented at his inability to appreciate a good joke,

"Anyways, you know about Gold Roger, right? Or do you know about Vice Admiral Garp, the Marines Hero?" Leo inquired.

"I know about Gold Roger 'The Pirate King'. So, what's the point?" Zoro asked curiously.

"Well, three of the four emperors have Devil Fruit, with one that is said to be able to destroy the world, other that can suck your soul, and last a Devil Fruit of the same category as mine which also him to transform into a huge dragon."

"These three Devil Fruits are in the hands of the strongest people alive in the world,"

"But, during their prime, Vice Admiral Garp and Gold Roger were stronger than them despite not having the Devil fruit powers."

"Do you know why,"

"that's because of Haki," Leo added

"Haki is a power system which is most important in this world, with it you can attack any Devil Fruit user, whether Devil Fruit user is Logia or like me, with this you can damage them all the same." Leo grinned

"And how will someone learn Haki," Zoro asked with his eyes narrowed.

"Hahaha, Haki is something that what we will start training tomorrow, you don't have to worry, but first, you must know more about Haki," Leo said while laughing.

"Then tell me why are you stopping now," Zoro demanded when he saw Leo standing from the chair and start walking towards the door,

"Hn! do you know what time it is, it's time for dinner, so I am going to the kitchen to make some for myself," Leo said while ignoring his outburst.

"do you want to eat what I will make, or do you want to cook the food yourself," Leo asked him,
