People are full of pirates

Chapter 399
She was still looking at Nuo Xia, while Sauron was already yelling unconvinced:

"It's not a weird move! Those are all taught by Mr. Nuo Xia, they are very powerful, okay! It's just, just..."

"It's just that you are too stupid, you only learned a little bit, and you didn't get the essence, so you thought that your strength had greatly increased, and you came to challenge me with confidence."

Kuina glanced at him and helped him complete the words, "Right?"

"me……"

Sauron's face flushed immediately, and he could not speak for a long time.

I was very upset, but I couldn't find any reason to refute.

And Kuina's eyes turned back to Nuo Xia, hesitant, hesitant, and scrupulous... After a long time, she still couldn't speak, she bit her lip and lowered her head, unconsciously stirring the miso soup on the plate with a spoon.

"what happened?"

Nuo Xia saw the girl's entanglement, and smiled gently:
"Anyway, I have to spend the night in the dojo, and I will leave tomorrow. I have plenty of time. If you want to learn, I can teach you too."

The girl's body shook, and she suddenly raised her head, revealing a delicate face full of surprises.

"Really...really?"

"of course."

Nuo Xia took a sip of the self-brewed sake in the dojo, and smiled, "But your father is your teacher, and he is here now. If I want to teach you, I feel like I'm going to do it for you. You have to ask him first." opinion will do.”

I have to ask my father...

Kuina turned her head subconsciously, her eyes filled with anticipation, request, and a little apprehension...

"Mr. Bailong is too polite."

Koshiro pushed his glasses and said with a smile:
"You are the number one swordsman in the world. If you are not old enough and only want to maintain the dojo, and have no other desires, I would wish to stay with you for a few more days, discussing and consulting swordsmanship all day long. As for the little girl... if she has the opportunity to ask you It is a lifetime honor for her to ask for advice face to face, so why do you say that it is a matter of doing it for you?"

Eh?
The world's number one swordsman? !

Zoro was dumbfounded when he heard that, and his unbelievable eyes circled back and forth between Nuoxia and Koshiro.

Uncle Nuo Xia, is he so powerful?

After seeing that shocking sword under the moonlit night, he had already admired Nuo Xia, but now after hearing what his teacher said.

It seems... I still underestimated?

and many more!

After getting her father's permission, Kuina couldn't hide her joy. She suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to Nuo Xia who was opposite her:
"Thank you! Sorry for the trouble!"

……

Finished dinner.

Nuo Xia didn't talk nonsense, and directly took Kuina to the open space behind the courtyard.

"Everyone's swordplay is different."

"You first practice your best swordsmanship on weekdays, and then try your best to learn from me. This will make it easier for me to see your deficiencies and flaws, and make a tailor-made modification plan for you."

"Yes, Mr. Nuo Xia!"

It was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night. Although Kuina was still a half-grown child, as a swordsman, she was already used to going to bed late, and she was already looking forward to Nuo Xia's teachings.

Therefore, even though she was sweating profusely after a rehearsal, the girl was still full of energy, listening to Nuo Xia's teachings wholeheartedly.

"...Well, it's seven o'clock. After a short rest, calm down and rehearse for me according to the details I taught you."

"Yes, sir!"

……

Under the moonlight.

The black-haired girl has a resolute face, wielding the blade, her figure is gallant, her movements are clean and neat, and she doesn't sloppy at all.

By the bamboo forest.

Koshiro held hot tea in his hand, watching all this from a distance, couldn't help feeling emotional.

"As expected of Mr. Bailong..."

Although his own strength is not very high, after all, he has been immersed in kendo for many years, so he still has the vision he should have.

Nuo Xia's swordsmanship realm is too high, even a few casual hints and teachings can benefit Guina a lot.

Not to mention this kind of one-on-one teaching by precept and deed.

Kuina's swordsmanship was learned from him since he was a child, and in Koshiro's view, he has been taught the truth, and even he himself can't correct anything.

But Nuo Xia still easily pointed out a lot of inadequacies, and his level was so high that he really felt ashamed.

Before I knew it, two hours passed.

The night is getting darker.

Zoro was sitting on the threshold peeking intently at first, but finally couldn't hold back and dozed off. Koshiro smiled and patted him on the shoulder, telling him to go back to the room to wash and rest.

Leaning against the door frame, he continued to watch quietly.

in the open space.

Kuina showed amazing comprehension. In many places, she was able to understand it with one click. The swordsmanship demonstrated was also becoming proficient and perfect at a speed visible to the naked eye.

this kid...

Talent Bing Wu is really nothing to say.

"……Unfortunately."

Koshiro shook his head slightly and sighed softly, "It's a pity that she's a girl, no matter how hard she tries, she won't be able to become a great swordsman..."

In his opinion.

There is a huge physiological gap between women and men.

It is true that Kuina is now the strongest disciple in the dojo, but her identity as a woman has always restricted her.

Maybe they can still have an advantage among their peers now, but when these children grow up, they are destined to be overtaken by Sauron in the future and left far behind.

Not to mention, becoming one of the world's top swordsmen and spreading the fame of the Geng Family across the sea...

"Your words are really too much."

Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind the ears.

Koshiro was startled, and subconsciously looked up following the sound, only to see Nuo Xia, who was originally in the open space in the backyard, came to him with a cup of hot tea at some point.

"Although your father was born in the Wano country, he has settled in the East China Sea for many years. Mr. Koshiro, you have been in the East China Sea since you were born. Unexpectedly, you still cling to the old-fashioned dross concepts of the Wano country."

Nuo Xia took a sip of tea, and looked down at Koshiro through the misty tea mist:
"It's fine if you just bury it in your heart, but if you talk to people in private in the future, you will say the same thing... If Kuina accidentally listens to you, have you ever thought about her feelings?"

"This……"

Thinking of his daughter who worked extremely hard on weekdays, Koshiro was speechless and showed a little shame.

After a long time.

"Mr. Bailong."

He sighed and said, "It's not because I'm conservative, but the gap between men and women does exist objectively."

"Guina has great ambitions since she was a child, and even threatened to become the world's number one swordsman. I can't bear to hit her face to face, but you should know..."

Koshiro considered his words carefully, and said with a wry smile, "This kind of wish is simply an impossible dream for a child like her who comes from a humble background and has a gender disadvantage..."

"Dream?"

Nuo Xia shook her head slightly, "I don't think so."

"Originally, I passed by Shuangyue Village by accident today. I just wanted to ask for directions and left, but I ran into that kid by accident."

He pointed to the room where Sauron slept, "I feel that he may have the potential to become the world's number one swordsman in the future, but now I have to withdraw this judgment, because there is another one who is more likely to stand in that position than him people."

"Are you saying..."

Koshiro was a little taken aback, "Guina?"

"good."

Nuo Xia's face was still calm, but his tone was firm and uncompromising.

"Guina is excellent both in terms of talent and temperament, in my opinion, and she is a natural swordsman who is rare among millions of people."

"Personal fates are different, she and Sauron, who will be stronger in the future is still uncertain, but there is no doubt that as long as the future is not missed, these two children can become great swordsmen in the future. "

"As for the gender disadvantage you mentioned, this kind of thing may exist objectively, but it does not exist at all for those who have the heart of the strong and those who are destined to speak."

Nuo Xia looked at the dazed Koshiro, and felt that the atmosphere might be a little too serious, so he changed the subject:
"Oh, by the way, as for what you just said, girls can't become top swordsmen... Guess who is the number one swordsman in the entire navy right now?"

"……Who?"

Having been trapped in Shuangyue Village for many years, Koshiro really doesn't know much about these things.

"My wife, Gion."

Nuo Xia chuckled, "I was her before I became famous, and I was her after I left the navy."

"In addition to her, among the powerhouses who reign like emperors in the second half of the great route, there are also top female powerhouses like BIGMOM."

Thinking of the emperor's sword that was cut off by herself, Nuo Xia shrugged, "Although her main fighting method is fruit ability, she is also the world's top swordsman."

"in addition."

Nuo Xia pointed to the sky, and said with a smile, "Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the strongest guy in the world...is also a woman."

The strongest in the world is also a woman?
Isn't it... Whitebeard?
Koshiro became more and more astonished, but he also knew that Nuo Xia's status must know many secrets that he didn't know, and there was no need to make up words to deceive him.

"Mr. Koshiro."

Nuo Xia had already bent down, patted Koshiro's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "To have such an excellent daughter, if I can wake up laughing when I sleep, as a father, shouldn't she be regarded as the only one in my life?" The greatest pride, to fully support her dream? You said... right?"

Koshiro finally woke up from the huge information shock after being slapped by this. He looked up at Nuo Xia with a complicated expression, and after a long while, he sighed in shame:

"I'm being stupid, I want Mr. Bailong to remind me."

Nuo Xia smiled and patted his shoulder again, without saying anything, just got up, and continued to admire Kuina who was practicing hard in the open space.

Koshiro lowered his head slightly, lost in thought.

He suddenly realized that although he didn't say that in front of Kuina, the deep-rooted prejudice can be reflected in his daily demeanor and words.

With Kuina's intelligence, I'm afraid she has already been sensitive to a lot of clues, otherwise she would not have been so nervous and cautious during the dinner before...

In the future, I really should completely change my mind and fully support and encourage her. I am afraid that after a few years, after teaching everything that needs to be taught, I am afraid that it will be difficult to help my daughter with my kendo level...

suddenly.

Koshiro's arm felt cold, and he looked down, and a letter was handed into his arms.

"Mr. Bailong?"

He looked up at Nuo Xia for no reason.

"This is a letter of introduction in my own handwriting."

Nuo Xia didn't look at him, but still stared at Kuina: "When Kuina becomes an adult, let her go to the headquarters by sea. With this letter, she can enter the elite camp of the headquarters and become a disciple of Teacher Zefa."

"And if Teacher Zefa has retired by then...let her come to me, and I will personally accept her as a disciple."

Accept disciples in person?

Koshiro was shocked all over, and his eyes revealed disbelief.

Mr. Bailong is recognized as the number one swordsman in the world, if he can worship under his sect, even looking around the world, this is the honor that all swordsmen dream of!

And Guina...

Koshiro looked at Nuo Xia's tall figure, and countless words of gratitude came to his lips, but he finally swallowed them.

He didn't say anything, bowed deeply to Nuo Xia, took a deep breath, and put the letter of introduction very solemnly into his arms.
