One Piece: My Spirit

In the days that followed, Charles still wanted to see how Kuina wore that hat, but unfortunately, he never had the chance to see it, but the little guy, Marilou, showed off that pair of sunglasses from time to time.

Kuina, Ciel and the others also resumed training as usual, but one night during the after-dinner tea, Kuina teased Marilou while pretending to casually ask why Ciel gave her that hat.

Charles didn't think too much about it, just pointed to the "Donghai News" newspaper. Although this "Donghai News" was indeed unreliable, there were also advertisements on some pages, including the advertisement for the latest item of "Sumo Panda". After all, they were all from the Donghai family.

At this point, Charles didn't continue talking, but Kuina's face turned red all of a sudden, because Kuina often pretended to watch "Donghai News" before, but in fact she was drunk!It's just that I didn't expect to be discovered by this hateful guy, Charles!
And in the following days, during the battle practice between the two, Ciel was inexplicably "specially cared for" by Guina, and Sauron was also severely injured by the way.

Half a year passed quietly, and it has been a year since Sauron came to Yixin Dojo. During this year, Sauron's swordsmanship has improved rapidly, and now Sauron, who is only 9 years old, can already defeat adults.

And today in the dojo, Sauron will once again face the woman he has not defeated so far. Sauron, who is holding a double bamboo sword, is using the two-sword style, which is also the path he chose.

Opposite Sauron is Kuina holding a sword in both hands. Facing Sauron whose strength is no longer the same as before, Kuina is also unusually focused and serious.

On the side, Ciel held Marilou in his arms and watched the duel between the two quietly. There didn't seem to be any emotional fluctuations on his face, but Marilou in Ciel's arms still felt Ciel's rare serious emotion.

With the start, the 2000th match between Kuina and Sauron officially began. Sauron was still going forward like a wild boar, but at this time, this wild boar was no longer the little wild boar that could only use brute force.

The crackling sound of the bamboo swords also made everyone watching the battle feel very nervous, but in the face of Sauron's attack like a storm, Kuina's defense was absorbed like a sponge, which made Sauron fall into an embarrassing situation of 'can't stop'. Sauron knew that once he stopped, he would be stiff for a second or two, and he would definitely be switched from attack to defense!
So Sauron could only grit his teeth and attack until Kuina's posture collapsed, but at this moment, Kuina on the opposite side suddenly caught the flaw in Sauron's left hand, which was a flaw that the left hand could not keep up with the attacking rhythm of the right hand.

In an instant, Kuina yelled fiercely, her body sank slightly and quickly stuck to Sauron's left side, and a counterattack interrupted Sauron's overall offensive rhythm, and Kuina broke her posture in one fell swoop!
"it's over"

After seeing this scene, Charles said softly, although Sauron has made progress this year, not everyone is standing still, not to mention Kuina who is challenged by Sauron every day, she can clearly feel that Sauron is constantly chasing herself, so Kuina has never stopped moving forward.

Sure enough, Sauron, whose posture was broken, was knocked down by Guina again.

"That's it! The winner is... Kuina! 2000 wins and 0 losses!"

After winning, Kuina also let out a long breath, and then looked at Sauron who fell to the ground and laughed: "You are still so weak, Sauron! You are obviously a boy, but you are so vulnerable."

Sauron rarely refuted this time, but the juniors watching the battle couldn't help but refute Kuina's words:

"Hey! Sauron is not weak at all!"

"That's right! He's the best among us!"

"Even counting adults, he is number one!"

Kuina looked at the group of juniors who were fighting for Sauron, and said calmly: "Really? But he just can't beat me, even if he uses two swords, bad is bad, and the defeated one should keep his mouth shut. The louder the roar, the uglier it will be."

After finishing speaking, Kuina glanced at Sauron who stood up tremblingly, and then left the dojo.

Charles looked at Kuina's back and shook his head helplessly: "It's still that strong."

At this time, Koshiro also came to Sauron's side to comfort him: "I lost again, Sauron, obviously you have also become stronger."

But at this time, the little junior brother on the side complained to Koshiro:

"Teacher, maybe Kuina is your daughter, so why don't you secretly give her special training?!"

"Then that's too cunning!"

"How could it be? I wouldn't do such a thing." Koshiro quickly waved his hand and then glanced at Sauron: "But, Sauron has indeed become stronger, but the same Kuina has also become stronger and stronger."

After hearing these words, Sauron suddenly couldn't help being angry and said, "Damn it! Why can't I beat her!"

"That's because Kuina is older than you!"

However, in the face of Koshiro's words of comfort, Zoro retorted: "But, obviously even the Lord is not my opponent!"

"Uh..." Koshiro seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment.

"I will go to sea in the future to become the world's number one swordsman! From now on, I will never lose to her again!" Sauron also left the dojo after speaking.

Koshiro looked at Zoro's back and sighed slightly.

That night, Zoro found Kuina who was practicing sword swing with two real swords.

"Sauron?"

"Guina! Come and have a serious fight with me! You should have this too!" Sauron said as he raised a real knife in his hand.

"Fight me? Okay!" Kuina, who was sweating profusely, accepted Sauron's challenge without hesitation.

Kuina took out a simple and plain knife from the storage of knives and weapons. The white handle wraps the handle, the white scabbard and the oval golden sword collar. The first impression is simplicity and harmony.

This is Kuina's saber, Hedao Yizi!

Then the two came to a quiet and deserted meadow outside the village, and tonight happened to be the night of the full moon, and the cold moonlight stretched the figures of Sauron and Guina, and tonight would be their 2001st duel, perhaps also a fateful duel that had long been destined.
