Phantom of the Pirate

Locke and the others didn't have to wait long, and soon a kind-looking middle-aged man with glasses walked over with a girl about Locke's age.

After walking over, he nodded to the dragon first, and then said to Locke, "Are you two the ones who came here to learn swordsmanship?"

"No, I'm the only one who learns kendo!" Locke explained.

"That's fine, you go to the dojo with Kuina and wait, and I'll come over later to check your kendo level." After Koshiro finished speaking, he looked at Kuina who was standing next to him.

"Follow me!" After Kuina said this to Locke, she walked directly inside.

Locke quickly followed with Carmen.

After walking with Kuina for a while, I came to a large yard, surrounded by some wooden stakes for practice.There were still some students practicing with wooden swords in the yard, but Locke looked around inside and didn't see a kid with green hair among them.

But according to the timeline, at this time, the kid with the green algae head should have been studying here, why didn't he see it.

While Locke was thinking wildly, a figure who did not know when appeared blocked the way of Kuina who was leading the way, and said, "Come on, Kuina accepts my 1888 challenges!"

Kuina didn't answer, but glanced at Locke and the two behind them.

When the person blocking the way came out, Locke had already recognized it. This was Roroa Zoro when he was a child who was still wondering why he didn't see it just now.

Seeing Kuina look over, Locke made a gesture of letting go, and then leaned to the side, leaving them a larger space.

"Come on!" Seeing Locke getting out of the way, Kuina turned her head and said to Sauron.

When two people stand opposite each other.

I saw Sauron roaring loudly, holding two wooden knives and coming back towards Guina.

However, Kuina didn't even move at all, holding her own wooden knife, she just blocked Sauron's attack with a light strike.

Then with a light hook of his foot, Sauron was knocked down to the ground.Then with a finger of the wooden knife, it arrived in front of Sauron, making Sauron who had just gotten ready to freeze there directly.

"Okay! 1888 battle, 1888 defeat." Sauron, who was lying on the ground, stood up after Kuina removed the wooden knife, and then said.

"I will definitely defeat you!"

After putting away the knife, Kuina didn't care what Sauron said, but said to Locke who was watching the show behind: "Okay, my business is done, come with me."

Locke heard what Kuina said, nodded his head, and followed behind Kuina, but Sauron, who had just failed in the challenge, looked at Kuina's face and said unwillingly: "Guina, what do you have? Didn't listen to me! And who is this kid behind?"

When hearing this, Kuina didn't react at all, and continued to maintain her aloof look, but Locke, who was walking behind, spoke.

"What did you say, kid? What's your name? You should call me brother!"

Looking at Sauron, who was short when he was a child, Locke, who has grown to about 1.5 meters, said bluntly.

"Cut, don't you just grow taller!" He said and gave Locke a supercilious look.

"."

"arrive!"

Kuina led the way, and didn't stop until they reached a spacious room, while Locke was noisy with little Sauron in the back.

Hearing Guina's voice, Locke stopped fighting with Sauron, and began to take a good look at the room.

This room is very spacious, with a large area in the middle covered with wooden boards, and there are many weapon racks on both sides, with some wooden knives neatly placed on them.

It seems that this is the training ground of this gymnasium. As for the courtyard just now, it should be a special place for students to practice.

After arriving here, Locke and Carmen found a place in the room and sat down under Kuina's arrangement, waiting for Koshiro's exam.

And little Sauron heard that the master came back to take an examination of Locke, and he also stayed, wanting to see how powerful this arrogant boy is in front of him. If he is good, he must fight him later.

Not keeping Locke and the others waiting for long, Koshiro came here soon, and Locke didn't see any members of the Revolutionary Army behind him. It seemed that they had finished chatting.

When Koshiro came to the room, sat down, and said to Locke, "Are you Locke?"

Looking at Locke nodded, and then continued: "A few months ago, I received your letter, saying that you want to come to my gym to learn kendo."

As he said that, he glanced at Locke who was sitting next to him, and continued, "Then, how do you know about this little gym of mine."

"I..." Locke was about to answer, but Koshiro reached out and interrupted Locke's words.

"Of course, these are not important. Since I'm here, I will definitely work hard to teach!"

Koshiro paused and continued: "Now, tell me, why do you want to learn kendo?"

"To become stronger!" Locke replied seriously.

"Why do you want to become stronger so much?"

"When I was very young, I understood that in this world, only the strong can control their own destiny, so that they can live better. Besides, do you really need a reason to become stronger?" Locke asked rhetorically .

Hearing Locke's answer, Koshiro nodded in satisfaction.

"You mentioned in your letter that you have practiced kendo for a while, can you show it?"

Hearing Koshiro's words, Locke stood up directly, and took out the wooden knife in his luggage for practice. This wooden knife was made by Locke himself in the shape of Tang knife. In his previous life, Locke liked Tang very much. The style of the knife is so that I can’t forget it after crossing, so I specially made one out of wood, and then asked the blacksmith in the town to use a piece of cold iron I picked up in the sea to help me make a knife. , and engraved the word "Qian Han" in Chinese on it, it can be regarded as nostalgia for the previous life.

"Guina, go and try it!" Seeing Locke take out the sword, Koshiro's pupils shrank slightly, but he recovered quickly, and then said to Kuina.

After hearing this, Kuina picked up the bamboo knife beside her and stood opposite Locke.

Looking at Kuina standing in front of him, Locke still felt a little nervous. After all, in the anime, this little girl is a swordsman genius!Can you beat it just with the way of the sword that you have figured out blindly?

But now is not the time to think about this, after all, people have already set up an attacking posture in front of him, if he shrinks back at this time, wouldn't what he said just now become a joke?

Thinking of this, Locke tightened the wooden knife in his hand, then took a step forward, and slashed at Kuina.

The movement of the knife is very smooth and the speed is very fast. After all, I have swung the knife like this more than 5000 times every day for five years.
