Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"Win? Why can they win just by drawing their swords?"

Just when Kuina and Zoro were tired but excited, a puzzled child's voice sounded. Luffy, who was picking his nose, looked at the two of them in confusion, and then turned to look at Skyler.

Skyler didn't bother to explain to Luffy. After all, this idiot's brain circuit was too difficult to understand. Zoro didn't want to. He came to Luffy with his two swords and said unhappily:

"Hello! What do you mean?"

"Huh? I just feel so weak, how can I win?"

Luffy continued to pick his nose, but his eyes were very innocent, with no provocation at all. After all, since Luffy left Windmill Village, his horizons have also improved, so naturally he doesn't think Zoro is powerful.

"Damn it!!!" Sauron gritted his teeth and said, "You mean you are better than me?!"

Hearing this, Luffy shook his head and said, "No, I just said you are weak. Does it have anything to do with whether I am strong or not?"

"Then why do you say I'm weak?!"

"Because you are just weak."

"Then you mean you're better than me?!"

"No, I'm just saying you...did I just say that?"

Luffy scratched his head, a little confused, but Zoro couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "Stand up! Fight me."

Skyler and Koushiro watched this scene leisurely, with smiles on their faces. The fighting and playfulness between children may have seemed serious to them at the time, but outsiders would only find it... funny.

"Why should I fight you? Do you have money?"

Luffy looked at Zoro's plain clothes and said with some displeasure. Zoro was stunned and said: "Fighting with me, what does it have to do with whether I have money or not?"

"No, you don't know that you have to pay money if you are defeated, right?"

Luffy looked at Ace, who was also smiling at them, and said seriously: "Ace, you were fooled!"

The so-called compensation for being defeated is Luo Ding's rule. After all, Ace promised not to take the initiative to ask him to fight, but he never said not to let Luffy do things.

As long as Luffy successfully "challenges" Luo, no matter what means he uses, Ace can join in the melee in the name of helping his brothers. Although the two have not won yet, Luo is worried.

In order not to continue to be annoyed by the two of them, Luo made a rule that fighting was allowed, but the loser had to pay. Therefore, when the two children had no money, they would not go to Luo to fight.

This is the reason why Ace is willing to become a power bank for the Zhanye detachment, because only with money can he challenge Luo. Only by challenging Luo can he be able to avenge his shame, although it has not yet been achieved.

But Ace knew that this was an agreement between the three of them, but Luffy didn't understand it. He simply thought that as long as it was a fight, the loser would have to pay.

Seeing the look of his silly brother, Ace smiled happily. Luo, who came back from washing dishes, rolled his naturally vicious eyes and said, "Luffy, I've paid for it, you go and fight."

"okay!"

When he heard that there was money, Luffy instantly jumped up from the ground, but before the two started fighting, Ace grinned and said to Luo: "I won two people, give me the money."

The corner of Luo's mouth twitched, and he cursed in his heart that these two brothers were so shameless, but he still reached into his arms, took two [-] Baileys, handed them to Ace, and said, "Take them."

Ace took it happily, and then said: "Luo, do you want to open the market? Who will win the bet?"

"duang~"

After Ace finished speaking, a water glass hit him directly on the back of the head, and then Skyler's voice came.

"How old are you when you think about gambling?"

Ace grinned and rubbed the back of his head. In fact, with the strength of his body now, it didn't hurt at all, but he already understood that Skyler would not let it go if he didn't express his stance.

He looked at the [-] Baileys in his hand with regret, and it seemed that the hope of doubling it was gone.

"let's start!"

Luffy warmed up casually, then stood up in a horse stance, put his hands on his knees, half-crouched, and looked up at Zoro, who was holding a pair of swords and was a little angry.

This posture can be said to be full of mistakes, but Skyler has no intention of correcting it. After all, with Luffy's rubber fruit ability, the stance of the starting hand is not important.

"Humph!"

Zoro just snorted angrily, then slashed at Luffy with his two swords. Seeing this scene, Skyler frowned and said to Koushiro: "How is this child Zoro's education level?"

"The worst among his peers."

"Teach me more in the future."

Skyler had a look of regret on his face. After all, he was not able to see Zoro after awakening from the Naming Fruit. After all, it was a bit disappointing.

The "battle" between the two children instantly became intense, especially Sauron. From the beginning, he used all his strength with every blow, but Skyler frowned again and said:

"Did you teach this?"

Koushiro was silent for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I really didn't teach him the rhythm of fighting. These...maybe my father taught him. It is indeed...the style is a bit unique."

Skyler held back his laughter. To put it nicely, he was a maverick, but to put it worse, he was playing like a mad dog. He focused on one person and worked hard at the same time, but this style of play would not last long.

Koushiro thought for a while and continued to make amends for his disciple: "Zoron's previous actual combat training partner was only Kuina. The two are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to test and adjust the rhythm..."

As he talked, Koushiro couldn't stand it any longer. He just gritted his teeth and thought that in the next time, he would focus on teaching Zoro the rhythm of responding to enemies, as well as what Skyler just said...culture.

After all, Zoro's performance tonight, except that Luffy was as rude as him, was really bad. Because he is a child, no one will care too much.

But...he can't always be a child, and others can't always treat him as a child.

Compared to the one-sided match between Ace and Kuina and Zoro, Zoro and Luffy are much more "watchable". Although their skills are ordinary, they are evenly matched and have back and forth.

"Damn it! These are the shoes Ace bought me!"

Suddenly, Luffy roared, but the shape was very funny. The front end of his left shoe was cut open, revealing five toes.

Zoro replied very domineeringly: "The next time I chop off, it will be your head!"

Zoro has never actually been on the battlefield, but as a kid, who hasn't read comic books?He got this line from the comic strip.

"Then I will definitely smash your head flat first!"

Compared with Zoro, Luffy's shouting momentum is a bit lacking, especially the appearance is too funny, and the fighting is equally funny.

He swung a small ten meters back with one hand. After accumulating his strength to the extreme, he punched Zoro on the head with a punch. Zoro turned his head very coolly, thinking that it should be enough to avoid the punch. .

"Crack~"

Zoro did dodge the fist, but the rubber fist was controlled by Luffy. Seeing that his fist was empty, he hurriedly tried to grab something, but accidentally slapped Zoro in the face.

"You bastard!"

Zoro got up in a second, and his strength and tired muscles, which had been weakened by the sudden attack, revived again, and he flew towards Luffy with an even faster attack than before.

Luffy was startled and evaded in panic, but miraculously he was able to dodge every time. The panic on his face, coupled with his body's extreme dodge every time, made Zoro very painful.

He always felt like he was going to win, but he was dodged every time. He even wondered if Luffy could actually dodg it easily, but was deliberately teasing himself.

Fortunately, he had just passed the test of Skyler's sword power. Otherwise, with his aggressive fighting style, his momentum would have been exhausted long ago when meeting someone like Luffy.

But... the sharpening of his sword power will not bring about any substantial increase in his own strength. Therefore, his current strength is actually no different from his strength before Skyler arrived in the afternoon.

Luffy's self-taught rhythm can be said to be the natural enemy of young swordsmen. Even Kuina was thinking at this time, if she fell into this rhythm, what should she do to get out?

The simplest thing is to stop, directly pull out of Luffy's rhythm, and then use the rhythm you are good at to fight Luffy, but... Luffy's expression and movements are too capable of attracting hatred.

Kuina, who was watching, felt that she could not help but take action, let alone Zoro, who was more impulsive than her?It is impossible to stop, but if the fight continues like this.

"Ah! It was so dangerous, you almost cut me."

Luffy did another backflip, and after dodging Zoro's attack, he kept patting his chest, looking frightened. This talent for talking dirty in battle seemed to be innate, and he was so angry that he Long's hair is even greener.

"Damn it! Can you only dodge? Do you dare to fight me?!"

Zoro shouted, Luffy stood still and said with a weird look on his face: "But you are holding a knife. If I don't hide, I will be hit by you. It will be very painful."

"Clang~"

Luffy told the truth, but when Zoro heard this, he threw the two dull knives aside and said to Luffy: "Can you stop dodging now?"

"Hehe~ Okay!"

Seeing that Zoro actually threw the knife away, Luffy stopped dodging and rushed towards Zoro. Zoro was taller than Luffy and had a longer wingspan, so he punched Luffy in the face. .

Luffy's face sunken directly. Zoro's smile that had just appeared suddenly faded and he became a little panicked. He was afraid that something would really happen to Luffy. After all, his face transformed into this...

"Bang~"

But before Zoro could figure it out, Luffy's fist had already hit Zoro in the face because the dent in his head made up for his lack of wingspan.

This punch was so powerful that Zoro flew backwards. When he got up again, he felt that his teeth... were much harder to bite than usual. He looked at Luffy in disbelief.

Because Luffy's face, which had just been dented by his own hands, was now back to normal. Let alone being injured, looking at that smile, it was obvious that there was no pain at all.

"how is this possible?"

"Because I'm a rubber man, it won't hurt if you hit me!"

Luffy said proudly and happily. Zoro didn't know how to deal with Luffy, and he didn't dare to step forward rashly.

Koushiro shook his head. He knew that Zoro was indeed defeated. Luffy's battle just now looked very embarrassing. From the situation, he seemed to be at a disadvantage, but in fact he did not lose the slightest bit of initiative.

To put it bluntly, Zoro's efforts were in vain. Luffy's seemingly unstructured rhythm was actually...a style of play honed by more people and more times than Zoro.

Zoro's experience... is still too little. Although there are nearly three thousand duels with Kuina, these three thousand duels are not as useful as these two tonight.

Adjusting his glasses, Koushiro said: "Okay, Zoro, you have given up on your sword. As a swordsman, you have failed. Stop messing around."

"Teacher, but...I..."

Zoro was still a little unconvinced, but before he could find an explanation, Koushiro waved his hand to signal him to stop talking. He could only pick up the knife he had thrown away in grief and anger.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Luffy jumped up and down happily, came to Luo, and stretched out his hand.

Luo took out the money and said, "Here you go."

Luffy had just received the money and before he was happy enough, Ace said, "Luffy, go apologize to him."

"why?!"

"Because you are so rude."

"Oh."

Luffy nodded and walked straight towards Zoro. Zoro, who was still grieving and angry, saw Luffy coming and asked, "Do you want another battle?! I'm always ready!" "

"sorry."

Although he didn't know where he was being rude, Luffy chose to listen to Ace's words, followed Ace's example, bowed, then smiled and said, "You are very interesting, let's be friends."

Zoro, who was showing his teeth and claws, was a little dazed. Seeing Luffy's expression, he turned red, but quickly turned his head and said arrogantly: "Who wants to be friends with a scoundrel like you?!"

"cough!"

Koushiro coughed heavily, Zoro still refused to admit his mistake, but when he saw Kuina looking at him angrily, Zoro panicked, turned his head and said to Luffy: "Do whatever you want! "

"Hee hee~"

Luffy finally straightened up, patted Zoro, who was taller than him, on the shoulder, and said, "Then it's settled! You will be my friend from now on."

Zoro did not answer, but observed Kuina with his peripheral vision. When he saw Kuina smiling again, he felt relieved.

Seeing that Luo and Bebo had come out of the kitchen, Skyler knew that they had washed the dishes, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Koshiro, goodbye then. Let's chat later when we have time."

"Lieutenant General Skyler, walk slowly."

Koushiro quickly stood up to see off the guests, and Skyler led a group of people out of the Isshin Dojo. Koushiro returned to the backyard of the dojo, looking at Zoro who started training again because he was unconvinced, and Kuina who was absent-minded.

Koushiro waved to Kuina and asked Kuina to come over. Kuina, who had no intention of training, saw this and ran over quickly. Koushiro looked at Kuina and said, "Are you disappointed? Lieutenant General Skyler did not send you take away?"

"No...no, I agreed to be 16 years old..."

Kuina wanted to pretend to be strong, but she couldn't persist. Her voice became smaller and smaller. Zoro also stopped training and looked here silently.

Zoro was very happy that Skyler did not take Kuina away, but... he felt that his mentality was wrong, because he had seen how strong the children who followed Skyler were.

If Kuina could follow and become Skyler's disciple, she would grow faster, right?But... Zoro didn't know how he felt. In short, he was sad after learning that Kuina was leaving.

When I saw that Guina would not leave for a short time, I was very happy, but at the same time I felt sorry for Guina.

Seeing that Zoro was no longer training, Koushiro also waved to him to come over. Zoro came trotting over. Koushiro looked at Kuina and asked, "How did Zoro join the Isshin Dojo in the first place?"

"Him?" Kuina looked at Zoro and said, "Didn't he clamor to defeat you, then fail again and again, and finally stay in the dojo shamelessly?"

Hearing this, Zoro felt a little embarrassed, but Koushiro shook his head and said, "Then why did I agree to let him stay?"

"This..."

"Because of persistence. There are many people who are interested in kendo, and some even show that they love kendo more than Zoro. But... the difference is that other people's love will change, but Zoro will not.

He is not afraid of failure, and he can afford to experience failure, but if you are not good, you have never lost, because you have never experienced failure, and you don’t know what it feels like to desire success and what you desire.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Skyler will not take you away now. Only when you understand whether you really want to follow the path of swordsmanship can you get her recognition. "

After Koushiro finished speaking, Kuina fell into deep thought, but Zoro was suddenly moved because he thought it was because Koushiro couldn't do anything to him that he agreed to stay in the dojo.

Koushiro looked at Kuina. The reason why Kuina learned kendo was because her father studied kendo and her grandfather studied kendo. Her father and grandfather told her that their ancestors had studied kendo for generations.

As for her father, she only has a daughter, so she must also learn kendo. Koushiro did not ask her to do this, but she thought so herself.

She never chose to learn kendo because of herself. The reason for her hard work and dedication was because she didn't want to disappoint her grandfather and father, even if they never expressed it.

"Father, what should I do?"

Kuina looked up at Koushiro, who looked at Kuina, was silent for a while, and then said: "Then leave Shuoyue Village and go to the sea to think about whether you really want to be a swordsman.

I will give you a boat and a week's supply of water and food, but I will not give you any baileys. You have to rely on yourself and the sword in your hand.

But I have a request. Along the way, you cannot commit any crimes, not even just picking up Baileys that others have missed or eating.

If you figure it out on the way, then go to Rogue Town and there will be someone there to guide you. "

"Then when do I leave?"

Kuina didn't hesitate at all, while Zoro was a little panicked. Koushiro put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly: "The day after tomorrow at the earliest."

"Then I'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Kuina said firmly, Zoro hurriedly said: "Guina..."

"Zoron, I am going to pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship first. I will wait for you on the way."

As soon as Zoro opened his mouth, Kuina interrupted. Unlike before, Kuina was at a loss. Now Kuina was smiling brightly. Zoro was silent for a while and said loudly: "I will definitely catch up with you! "

"click~"

Kuina suddenly took off her Wadou Ichimonji. After taking it out of the sheath, she looked at the Wadou Ichimonji in her hand, and then said to Zoro:

"Zoron, before the decisive battle between Lieutenant General Skyler and Hawkeye Mihawk, Lieutenant General Skyler left her saber to Mihawk. Although my Wadou Ichimonji is not a black sword, but...I Waiting for the day when you take it and come to fight me!"

After speaking, Kuina looked at Koushiro and asked: "Father, please allow me..."

"Wado Yimonji is your sword, whatever you want to do with it."

Koushiro smiled. Kozaburo told him that he should give Kuina the word "Wado", but he should not give everything contained in the "Wado" to Koina.

So, the current Wadao Yimonji is just an "ordinary" sharp knife, and Kuina has the right to dispose of it.

Kuina nodded, looked at Sauron again, and said, "Zoron, I'll leave it to you to be honest with you."

"I..."

Zoro has always been coveting Kuina's knife, but Kuina never let her touch it, but now she gave it to him directly, which made him a little at a loss. He looked up at Kuina and hesitated. After waiting for a long time, I finally took it.

"Kuina, I will carry this sword forward until the day we fight to become the world's greatest swordsman! I promise, I won't keep you waiting for too long!"

After receiving the word "Wado Yimo" that he had longed for before, Zoro didn't have any smile on his face at this time, but made a loud promise with tears in his eyes.

"Zoron, let's work hard together!"

"I see!"

At dawn the next day, the warships of the Zanye detachment set sail from Shuoyue Village, while Koushiro purchased a week's worth of dry food for his daughter's trip, a knife that was not a toy, and a single-masted ship that could be operated by one person. sailboat.

Another day later, Kuina also set sail from Shuoyue Village and began to pursue her own path of swordsmanship. The green-haired boy in Ishin Dojo also changed from the two-sword style to the three-sword style.

In order to reunite as soon as possible, the two must grow faster until they can fight for who is the greatest swordsman in the world.

At this time, on the deck of the Zhanye detachment, a correspondent hurriedly opened the cabin door and walked out. Seeing Skyler having breakfast on the deck, he trotted over quickly.

Seeing the correspondent's anxious look, Skyler put down the tableware and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Our communication device has incorporated a request for help from the branch navy. It is in the East China Sea. Do we need to go there for support?"
