Arkham in the pirate world

While Koina and Koushiro were fighting with each other with swords to reminisce about the past, Ichiro Tsuchien and Liszt entered the dojo.

When you walk into the grand gate of the dojo, you will see a training ground as large as a stadium. There are also students who come to the dojo to study. They are divided into different squares according to their age to learn Isshin-ryu Kendo.

Bas, who was being held by Liszt, was attracted by the figures wielding bamboo swords. He stared at them without blinking, then struggled to the ground from Liszt's arms, and started to gesture with his little arms and legs. People find him cute and naive, which makes the students practicing swordsman laugh.

The instructor in charge of swordsmanship, who was also a student of Koushiro, was very excited when he recognized Liszt. Hearing the laughter of the students, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but reprimanded: "Why are you laughing? The sword is focused on the heart. After practicing the sword, How can we be distracted when we are busy?”

The students started practicing the sword seriously again. The teacher nodded with satisfaction, and then bowed deeply to Liszt and said, "Hello, Mr. Arkham. You are the person I respect the most. I finally met you today."

"Hello, hello. I should respect you more. It is precisely because of teachers like you that we can teach many students with excellent character. Your sentence of sword in one heart is very good. Not only swords must "One heart, one's heart is also there in life." Liszt smiled and helped him up.

Liszt took Bas away and came to the dormitory area without disturbing the students' sword practice.

"That's where students stay, and that's where teachers stay. That single courtyard is the old dojo, and it hasn't changed much inside."

Tsuchienichiro became a tour guide, taking Liszt around the new dojo and telling some stories about what happened in the dojo.

"This field was opened up by the teacher. When it comes to spring plowing and autumn harvest, every student who teaches has to work in the field. On weekdays, students have to take turns to be responsible for weeding, watering and other tasks. The food is enough for us to eat for half a year."

Walking on the field ridges with green rice seedlings, listening to the sound of frogs jumping into the water and the chirping of insects, Lister suddenly felt relieved from the heavy workload and suddenly became relaxed and happy.

"Teacher, this is a good idea. Yishin Dojo not only teaches swordsmanship, but also teaches life. And work is the best education for people, especially those who walk with swords. They should know that harvest is not easy, otherwise, they will become A monster possessed by violence.”

Koushiro was very kind to Liszt, so it was reasonable to call him a teacher.

"The teacher means the same thing. There is a vegetable field over there. The vegetables eaten in the cafeteria are grown by the students themselves. They also raise pigs. This not only trains the students, but also reduces the cost of the dojo." Tu Yuan Ichiro said proudly.

As I walked past the field ridge, I saw seven or eight children lying on the horizon, digging for something.

A child seemed to sense someone. He looked up and saw Douenichiro. He was startled. He poked the child who was covered in mud and water and said, "Shixiong, your dad is here."

"Don't make any noise, we'll catch him soon." The child slapped him, opened his hand, and continued digging into the field.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tsuchien Ichiro's face darkened. He stepped forward, grabbed the child's clothes, lifted him into the air, and slapped him on the buttocks. When the other children saw it, they immediately ran away.

"Ouch!" The child who was slapped cried immediately.

"Why cry?"

Doi Yuan Ichiro put the child down and shouted. The child stopped crying immediately and just sobbed softly.

"Look, your clothes are so dirty. If your mother sees you when you go back, I won't beat you to death."

Ichiro Tsuchien rubbed his head and said to Liszt, who was following him: "My son, Shio Tsuchien, is even more naughty than I was when I was a child."

"Children are like this. Buzz, call me brother."

"Brother" Bass shouted obediently.

"Hey, brother, how are you?" Tomooka Shixiong grinned. He seemed to be missing his front teeth, so his words were leaky and a little slurred.

At dusk, in the quiet room of the dojo's annex, after listening to Liszt's explanation, Koushiro's expression softened, and there was still a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.

"Ahem, well, um, Kuina is still thanks to your care over the years." Koushiro said.

"It's all her own efforts, I didn't do anything to help her," Lister said.

Koushiro smiled slightly and said: "She has been a hard-working child since she was a child. Her character is the same as her mother's. As long as she is determined, she will definitely do it, even if she loses her life."

As if thinking of some memories, Koushiro's eyes were slightly dazed. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, I thought of some past things. When people reach a certain age, they start to like memories, those regrets, and those good things."

"It's ok"

"Actually, I am opposed to Guina practicing swordsmanship because since her mother died, she has been practicing swordsmanship desperately, suppressing her sadness in her heart, and becoming taciturn. So I hope she can be happy like other girls. , grow up happily." Koushiro sighed lightly.

What father wants his daughter to endure hardship?

Koushiro knows the hardships of kendo best.

After he had a child, Liszt also understood Koushiro's original intention of opposing Kuina's sword practice.

"She now has a group of friends who support her. I think you should feel relieved."

"Yes, she has grown up." Koushiro picked up the tea and took a sip.

"You have other things to do when you come back this time, right? Although I rarely go out, those students who travel abroad will come back occasionally and bring some news."

Liszt nodded slightly and said: "I have received news that a special inspection team from the World Government will arrive in the East China Sea to inspect my territory. Among the inspection team, there is a Tianlong who visited Goa ten years ago. The one from the Kingdom. The teacher should know about the bad habits of the Celestial Dragons. This time the world government suddenly sent a Celestial Dragon inspection team, which is undoubtedly a signal that the patience of the Five Old Stars has reached its limit. The comer is not malicious. To prevent accidents, I want to send Bas, I will stay with you for the time being."

Koushiro drank tea, and the quiet room was silent. After a long time, Koshiro said with a smile: "No problem, does his mother agree? Separation of flesh and blood is the last thing every mother wants to accept, right?"

"She is very wise and she knows what choices to make."

"Of course, if everything goes well, we will take him back when the Tianlong inspection team leaves." Liszt said in a relaxed tone.

"What if it doesn't go well?"

"It's time for you to prepare for the transfer." Liszt said.

"war"

"Maybe"

"Is there any chance of winning?"

"Until it ends, the outcome of any war is unknown."

Cocosia Port is a bustling port with thousands of sails passing by. It has become the most prosperous port in the East China Sea. Ships from various kingdoms in the East China Sea are loaded with goods. After registering for transactions, they also bring goods from various countries and even all over the world. Large quantities of goods were rushed back to the kingdoms, and were divided up by various chambers of commerce on the coasts of the kingdoms and transported to various parts of the country.

According to statistics, the annual cargo throughput of Cocosia Port alone accounted for more than half of the cargo transportation volume in the entire East China Sea last year. Therefore, Cocosia Port is now also known as the "East China Sea Terminal."

Among the many busy merchant ships with deep water lines, a small caravel sailing ship came towards Cocosia Port.

A skull pirate flag wearing a straw hat was hung on the sailboat. Just on the bow of the sheep's head sat a young man wearing a straw hat. With a smile and curiosity, he looked at the ships that passed by from time to time without sails.

"Hey, Usopp, what kind of ships are those?" The boy turned his head, pointed at the large ship that had just passed by and made a "whining" sound like thunder, and asked his companion who was wearing goggles and looking at the port.

"Ah, um, did you run out of the mountains? Luffy, you don't even know this? That is a steamship powered by steam, manufactured by Dauntless Shipyard. Because it does not need to be driven by wind, a steamship It can be built larger than a sailboat, and the cargo it can carry will be larger.”

"Oh, it's so amazing. You can move without the wind. It's amazing. It seems like it's going to happen." Luffy's eyes lit up.

"Don't think about it, because the manufacturing is more complicated and requires the use of special energy, so the price of a steamship is much more expensive than a sailboat. You can't even afford a sailboat, so this boat was given to me by Merry "Usopp said proudly.

Luffy didn't pay any attention to Usopp's blow, and still looked around with great interest. Suddenly, he shouted: "Hey, a ship is coming towards us. Is that a steamship too?"

Usopp looked at it and immediately said: "That is called a motorboat. On the sea, they can run faster than ships. They are the standard equipment of the Coast Guard in this territory. Oh, that sign is a patrol motorboat of the Coast Guard."

At this time, a shout came from the approaching motorboat: "Pirate ship ahead, please stop for inspection."

"I reiterate, the pirate ship ahead, please stop for inspection."

"Are they here to catch us?"

Luffy stood up, smiled and waved his arms: "Rubber rubber"

Before Luffy could stretch his arms, Usopp knocked him on the head.

"Stop it, idiot. This is just a routine inspection. They won't catch us, but if you do it, we won't be able to leave. You know, in the East China Sea, even those pirates with bounties of tens of millions, When you come here, you have to behave yourself.”

Luffy held his head and said: "I know, it's really strange. We are pirates. Why do we have to abide by their rules? Moreover, they dare to let the pirates go up. Aren't they afraid that the pirates will cause trouble?"

"Because this is Arkham List's territory." A figure came to the two of them and said with a stern expression.

"Hey, Zoro, your injury is healed." Luffy and Usopp turned their heads. Standing next to them was Zoro, a famous pirate hunter in the East China Sea.

Luffy left Windmill Village, defeated the King of the Near Sea, beat Arrita away, and went to Shields Town with Kirby.

Then he happened to witness the battle between Zoro and a mysterious swordsman. After Zoro was defeated, he did not want to leave a wound on his back, but took the initiative to let the other party slash his chest, which Luffy admired very much.

The mysterious swordsman let Zoro live, and Luffy ran to send him to the doctor, hoping that Zoro would join his pirate group.

Zoro did not agree at first, but after hearing that Luffy was going to the Grand Line, he thought of what the mysterious swordsman said when he let him go.

"You are too weak, go to the Grand Line, that is the battlefield for the strong."

The other party said this in a cold tone.

And Zoro thought that he was "rescued" by Luffy, and out of the honor of a swordsman, he should repay the other party, so he agreed to Luffy and went to the Grand Line together.

After Zoro recovered slightly from his injuries, he said goodbye to Luffy, and to Kirby, who Luffy had rescued from Alita's ship, in Shields Town.

After being inspired by Luffy, Kirby was inspired to become a "righteous" navy, and with the dream of becoming a naval admiral, he joined the Shieldstown Naval Branch, became a recruit under Colonel Monka, and made new friends. , that was Belumeb, who enlisted in the army with him, but was the son of Colonel Monka.

The fate of Colonel Monka was changed. Because he had not been brainwashed by Zangao, which led to a sudden change in his personality, he was a respected commander in Shields Town. Also because his father was an upright navy man with a righteous mind, Belumeber , and did not become a second-generation playboy, but aspired to become an upright naval officer like his father.

The flapping wings of a butterfly have changed the fate of countless people in the East China Sea.

After Luffy and Zoro left Shields Town, they passed by Orange Town. There was no harm caused by the Bucky Pirates here, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The two only stopped briefly to resupply, and then set off again to Luffy. destination, Gecko Island

Soon, they met the pirate Kamon who was stuck in a box with the rare beast on the rare beast island that deviated from the waterway, and helped him solve the mystery of the treasure on the island.

After that, the two came to Gecko Island. Luffy found Usopp on Gecko Island, and told Usopp about his acquaintance with his father Jesus, and invited him to become his partner.

Despite the care of the Brandi family, Usopp's mother still died of illness.

After his mother's death, Usopp declined the invitation to go to Arkham Academy because he was grateful to the Brandy family for taking care of his mother after she became ill. Instead, he took over his mother's job and became the head coach of the Brandy family's old house. The valet lives with the housekeeper Mellie as a way to repay the Brandi family.

After Crowe's fate was changed, the Brandy couple who were supposed to be killed by him did not die. Crowe became the person in charge of the Arkham Group's Grand Line Park section, and Brandy became the Arkham Group this year. The mayor of the town hall of the Earl of Mu has entered the upper class. Their daughter Keya was sent to Arkham Academy to attend school. She graduated last year and entered a hospital under the Arkham Group to become an intern. .

The Brandy family's old house on Gecko Island is no longer just a place where the Brandy family occasionally goes back to stay for two days.

Usopp grew up under the care of Merry in the old house of the Brandi family, and received Merry's care. Although he could also lie, he did not become a big liar that everyone in the town yelled at, and he never became a big liar. He learned some craftsman skills from Melly, and with his flexible mind, he became a well-known inventor in the town.

Facing Luffy's invitation and the mention of his father, Usopp's heart that yearned for the sea and became a man like his father started beating again. After some thinking, Usopp He told Meili his decision.

Merry did not stop Usopp, but instead gave Usopp a ship he built in his spare time.

At the same time, Melly also gave Usopp a letter and asked him to take it to Master Brandy.

Boarding the Golden Merry, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp came to the Earl of Arkham in order to deliver a message.
