Chapter 36 The Dead
The sky was gray and it was raining lightly.

The air was slightly cold, and the mourners were all wearing thick clothes and holding black umbrellas. The team of nearly a hundred people stretched for hundreds of meters and walked on the field road.

"I heard she fell down the stairs of the warehouse!"

"storehouse?"

"As if looking for a whetstone for her beloved knife"

"Why are you looking for something like that?"

"I don't know, she's still a child."

……

Someone whispered about Kuina's death.

Sauron followed in the crowd silently, and the death of Kuina brought a great blow to Sauron.

He glanced around the crowd, but didn't see Locke. After parting ways at the training ground last night, Sauron hasn't seen Locke until now.

It's not clear where Locke went, maybe he went alone, the death of Guina also hit Locke very hard, Sauron could see it.

When the funeral was simple, there were not so many messy procedures, and the coffin containing Guina was buried in the ground soon.

The mourners retreated separately, Koshiro stood for a while and returned to the dojo, only Zoro stood in front of the tomb, drenched in the rain all morning.

Kuina's death was a sad news for the entire dojo and even the entire village, and everyone was very depressed.

The sound of training that the dojo would remember every day disappeared, and everyone was depressed and had no motivation to continue practicing.

But Locke still disappeared. Everyone searched the dojo a few times, but they couldn't even find Locke in the village.

That night!

In the Kuina cemetery, a spring rain fell on the tail of spring in the morning, and at night the ground was still full of potholes.

The red soil just covered has lost a layer after being washed by the rain, and the seeds sprinkled on it have not yet taken root and germinated, and cannot play the role of solidifying the soil.

dong... dong...

Under the red soil, there was a sudden knocking sound, especially loud in the silence, like someone knocking on the door in a dark room, penetrating to the extreme.

Immediately afterwards, the mound of red soil, like an inverted bowl, slowly arched, and a white hand protruded from the mound, like a zombie crawling out of a grave, pushing away the surrounding soil with his white hand.

Immediately there was a bang, the mound of soil exploded, the soil splashed, and a figure flew out.

Anyone who saw this scene nearby would definitely be scared to death. Of course, it was Kuina who crawled out of Kuina's tomb.

Kuina, who was covered in mud, climbed to the puddle next to her, scooped up water with both hands and poured it on her face, doing this two or three times until the mud was completely washed off her face.Looking up at the sky, panting heavily, the oxygen below is limited, which suffocates her half to death, and at this moment, she is frantically swallowing the oxygen in the air.

After a while, Kuina breathed out before calming down, and raised her hand to wipe off the water stains on her face.

"done!"

At this moment, a faint voice came from behind, which startled Kuina, turned around in a panic, and saw Locke standing behind her.

Seeing Locke behind her, Kuina was startled again.

When there should be nothing but her crawling out of the tomb alone, Locke appeared behind him, and even Kuina's fearless character changed her expression greatly in fright.

"How could you..."

After being stunned for a while, Kuina, who came to her senses, raised her finger and said tremblingly at Locke.

"How did I appear here?"

Before Kuina finished speaking, Locke had already asked for Kuina.

Taking two steps forward, Kuina retreated subconsciously. The appearance of Locke was really amazing, and Kuina was a little confused now.

Everything is perfect, no one would have thought how Locke would appear here, and it seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.

Seeing that Kuina retreated, Locke did not leave, and said: "Because I know you are not dead, everything is just a conspiracy between you and Master, so that everyone thinks you are dead, I have to say, you and Master Master played really well, he deceived everyone, even I was almost deceived."

"How did you see through?" Kuina regained her composure and asked curiously.

She thought that she had her father's cooperation this time, and there was no flaw in her death. No one would think that she was a fake death, and everyone thought she was dead.

Locke smiled and explained: "Thanks to Sauron's words, she said that you went to the second floor of the warehouse to find the whetstone and fell to your death, but I remember that I put all the whetstones on the first floor, It's right next to the words He Dao Yi, so you don't need to go to the second floor of the warehouse to find it.

It is impossible for you to move all those whetstones to the second floor, and then take them down from the second floor to use. No one is so stupid.

In this case, there is only one explanation left, the cause of your death is false, if the cause of death is false, your death must also be false.”

Kuina was stunned for a moment. She clearly remembered that all the whetstones were on the second floor, so why did she go to the first floor? It was Locke who did it for a long time.

"Even so, how dare you conclude that I can't think that the whetstone is placed on the first floor because I don't need it and it takes up space. Move it to the second floor."

"Of course there is such a possibility," Locke said, "I also doubted it, but that day in the mourning hall, when I went to lift the white cloth from your head, the master threw me out without saying a word, and didn't let me get close.

This kind of behavior is tantamount to clearly saying that Master is afraid that I will lift the white cloth from your head, why Master is so afraid, combined with what you just said, the answer is already obvious."

Kuina smiled wryly and shook her head, she never thought that there would be such a flaw in such a well-planned fake death plan.

One careless move, and the whole game is lost!
Who would have thought that Locke moved those whetstones to the first floor. If Locke hadn't done this, Locke wouldn't have been able to see through.

But there is no if in this world.

Looking up at Locke, Kuina seemed to accept her fate, and said, "Since you have seen through it, the plan has failed. What are you going to do? Tell everyone that I am not dead at all, and I deliberately faked my death."

"If I wanted to do this, I could have exposed it a long time ago, why wait until now, to come here alone to see you", Locke rolled his eyes.

He couldn't believe that Kuina didn't understand this, and Kuina was just making fun of him when she said that.

Sure enough, Kuina laughed and said, "Then why did you show up? Saying goodbye?"

"just a part"

"Oh?"

Kuina was curious and asked, "Apart from this part, what else?"

"I'll show you the way," Locke said flatly.

This made Guina even more curious, and asked again: "Guide the way? Do you know what I want to do? Do you know where I want to go?"

"I really know this," Locke said with a smile, "Although I don't know why you faked your death to make Kuina disappear from the world, but after you fake your death, you will definitely go to sea again with a different identity.

Your goal of going out to sea is nothing more than two, one is to become the world's number one swordsman!
The other is to go to Wano Country to find the secret of your life experience."

While speaking, Locke walked to the side of Kuina's tombstone, glanced at the photo of Kuina on the tombstone, pointed at the tombstone and turned to smile at the surprised Kuina.

"You're going to die now, and it's the first time you've ever attended your own funeral."

Kuina didn't bother to pay attention to Locke's teasing. She was thinking about what Locke said in her mind now. Locke didn't say anything wrong, but was right.

Looking up at Locke, Kuina said: "Sure enough, you lied to me about Wano Country's information that day, and you definitely know more than what you said."

Locke smiled, neither acknowledging nor denying.

Seeing that Locke was still smiling, Kuina was immediately annoyed and clenched her fist, really wanting to punch Locke in the face, but in the end she suppressed the anger in her heart.

"I did hide it, but it was only some, not too much, and you will know about those things when you go to the new world," Locke stopped laughing and said seriously.

Kuina pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "You guys speak so covertly, it doesn't make any sense."

"you?"

It should be the master Koshiro. It seems that Koshiro did tell Kuina something, but not much, Locke thought.

"If everything is told to you and you know everything, then it's meaningless if you still pursue it," Locke said.

Kuina didn't refute. Although Locke's words were unpleasant to hear, he had to admit that it was indeed reasonable.

But he was unconvinced and said: "How long can we cover up, as long as I go to sea, I can reach the new world in less than a year."

Seeing that Kuina is so confident, Kuina is a genius, and she is indeed proud of it, but it is precisely this that is what Locke is most worried about.

Shocked: "If I were you, I wouldn't have such a stupid idea, Kuina, you are too underestimating the people of the world, the new world gathers geniuses from all over the world.

These people have passed all the way and entered the new world after going through life and death crises.

In that place, there are countless strong people. With your strength, even a year later, any small character in the new world can easily defeat you. Many world-renowned great swordsmen are in the new world. "

"Then I'm going even more, defeating all the great swordsmen who are famous all over the world, I am the well-deserved No. [-] in the world!"

Naturally, the competitive Kuina would not be hit so easily. Hearing Locke say that there are countless powerful people in the new world, especially those famous swordsmen, Kuina's twinkling eyes only had a strong fighting spirit proudly.

To a certain extent, Kuina and Sauron are the same kind of people, they will never admit defeat, they are competitive, and they have strong self-esteem. And unable to draw the knife.

Knowing that he must die, he will do his best to fight, instead of just surviving.

Both of these two regard swordsmanship as more important than life!
Seeing that Kuina was so full of fighting spirit, Locke couldn't help saying: "Hey, don't think about it, you are a dead person now, Kuina, the new world is still far away from you, have you thought about leaving Frostmoon Village? , what should I do?"

"What else can I do? Leave Frostmoon Village, then go to sea, enter the great route, and go to the new world. That's all for the time being," Kuina said.

Snapped…

Locke raised his hand to cover his face, not only could he not listen to it, he couldn't even watch it.

For a long time he said those things, but this guy didn't listen. Where do you think the great route is?Where do you think the new world is?
