Sailing: Navy Luffy, Garp regrets it

""Double Blade Style: Eagle Strike!"

Luffy put the tips of his two swords together and launched a thrust.

Facing this fierce attack, Koshiro did not dodge, and easily blocked it with a slash of his long sword diagonally upwards without any fancy moves.

Luffy suddenly stopped, and when the time was right, he swung his hands in a semicircle like scissors, swinging his two swords horizontally.

""It's a good idea, but there are too many flaws."

As if instructing his students, Koshiro reminded them not to retreat but to move closer.

The vertical sword got stuck at the intersection of Toran and Kitetsu, defusing the attack.

""Haha, in front of a swordsman like you, my moves are indeed not up to par."

Luffy laughed and replied,"But I never like to play tricks, I always use force to suppress others!" After saying that, he took a step forward and suddenly exerted force on his hands.

In an instant, Koshiro's face changed, and his hands holding the sword were pushed to his chest.

The back of the Wado Ichimonji sword almost touched his face.

‘What a terrifying force, who is this boy? '

Under the pressure of brute force, Koshiro's arms began to tremble slightly.

His feet were pushed back by the terrifying force, plowing two deep furrows in the mud.

Seeing Koshiro's surprised expression, Luffy shouted, and the muscles in his arms suddenly swelled and pushed him back.

Taking this opportunity, Luffy raised his two swords horizontally and charged them to swing out a flying slash.

"Six Styles Secret Technique: Two Swords Style: Steel Slash!"

Two spiral sword energies entangled with each other blasted out, and Koshiro was concerned about the students around him.

He had to stop forcibly, holding his breath and concentrating to also swing out a slash to respond.

""Ichito-ryu: Extreme Frost!"

The long sword swung past, and the air seemed to be split in two.

A dark blue sword energy like frost, with a biting coldness, shot out from the Wado Ichimonji.

It met Luffy's spiral sword energy in mid-air and instantly stalemated together.

The collision of the two produced a violent airflow that instantly swept around.

The onlookers stretched out their hands to resist the strong wind.

They had to step back to avoid being affected by the fight between the two.

Looking at the slashing blows that he had swung with all his strength in the field, in the friction with the opponent's sword energy, they gradually offset each other and dissipated.

Luffy took a deep breath, slowly sheathed the sword, saluted Koshiro with a swordsman's salute, and praised:

"As light as a swift, as fierce as the cold wind. Mr. Koshiro, your swordsmanship is better than mine.

I lost this contest."

Koshiro secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put a smile on his face again, put away his sword and returned the greeting, saying politely:

"Mr. Luffy, you are too polite.

You have such swordsmanship at such a young age, it will be easy to surpass me in the future."Luffy smiled and shook his head,"Swordsmanship is not my forte, and I am at my current level purely by luck.

In the future, I will put more experience into physical skills, domineering and fruits.

I am afraid that I will never be the strongest in swordsmanship in this lifetime."

Koshiro smiled awkwardly, seriously suspecting that this kid was showing off.

There are not many such young swordsmen in the world, and he actually has the nerve to say that his swordsmanship is not good.

"you..."

"A strong man like you, can't you reach the strongest swordsmanship?"

Koushirou was about to speak, and seeing that the battle was over, Zoro, who was about to challenge Luffy

, couldn't help but ask after hearing what he said.

Seeing this familiar green algae head, Luffy knew that this was his target.

Luffy naturally did not hesitate to talk to this future subordinate who was about to be poached.

"That's right, I learned too many things, which is not conducive to my future strength improvement.

If I want to become the strongest in the world, I can only give up my decent swordsmanship and focus on physical skills and domineering.

Unless one day my physical skills are perfected, my swordsmanship can only reach the level of your teacher at best.

It is far from the strongest."

"Haha, Mr. Luffy, your words are really hurtful."

Koshiro smiled bitterly, but turned around and warned his most beloved disciple.

"Mr. Luffy is right. Human energy is limited.

In this limited time, you must plan your future path.

If you waste time on areas you are not good at, when you look back and want to make progress, it will be too late."

"So that's it." Zoro lowered his head and muttered.

But he raised his head and said nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, my path is only about swordsmanship, and I won't be distracted by other messes."

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at Luffy with burning eyes, issuing a challenge to him.

"My name is Roronoa Zoro. Come fight me. I want to see the swordsmanship of a truly powerful person."

"Hehe, you want to fight me?" Luffy rubbed his chin with a smile on his face.

"It's not impossible, as long as you follow me after you lose."

"Ah, this..."

Zoro was surprised. He didn't expect him to make such a request.

He looked at Koshiro with some hesitation, then lowered his head and pondered.

Luffy continued to raise the stakes and said:

"Actually, I am a swordsman of the Itto-ryu style. I got this famous sword, the Sandai Kitetsu, not long ago.

If you are willing to follow me, I can give it to you.

I don't need to tell you how much a good sword can help your swordsmanship."

"This, this, I..."

Zoro was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. He couldn't help but sneak a glance at the long sword that Luffy pulled out. He was attracted by the exquisite knife pattern on it and the sharp cold light reflecting in the sun. He couldn't bear to look away.

Seeing his most beloved disciple being tempted, even the good man Koshiro couldn't stand it.

"Mr. Luffy, you want to kidnap my student in front of me, your teacher.

Even if you are a navy, I will not be polite.

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Luffy quickly appeased him.

"Don’t worry, I’m just making a suggestion. Doesn’t it depend on what Zoro thinks whether to accept it or not?"

"But you..."

"Alas, Mr. Koshiro, don't be too rigid about everything. It's good to go out to sea early and see the world.

Look at me, I'm only 12 years old this year, and my grandfather Garp threw me out to gain experience.

If you let Zoro stay in the East China Sea, he won't be able to reach my current level even if you give him a few more years."

Luffy said proudly, and both the master and the apprentice were shocked.

Zoro/Koshiro:"You are only 12 years old! /You are Garp's grandson!"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Luffy looked kind and cast a meaningful look at Koshiro.

But Koshiro didn't receive it, but remembered another thing.

When he was young, he met a man.

Although the man did not take the initiative to reveal his background, he accidentally learned the other's identity one time.

The man's name was Monkey.·D·Dragon, just by listening to the name, you can tell that he is the same as the naval hero, Monkey·D·Garp is related to him.

Then the boy who claims to be Garp's grandson cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.

In this case, it seems that it is not impossible to let Zoro follow him.

After a brainstorming, Koshiro suddenly spoke

"Promise, Solon."

"Ah, what did you say, teacher?"

Zoro, who had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing such a strong guy younger than himself, suddenly heard what Koshiro said and had not yet reacted.

But when he calmed down and thought about it again, he suddenly widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief:

"Teacher, do you agree that I can go out to sea with him?!"

‘This kid, I'm afraid he has just decided to leave. '

After spending so many years with Zoro, Koshiro couldn't understand what Zoro meant.

He nodded helplessly and agreed:

"Yes, I agree.

Luffy is right. Staying in Shimotsuki Village won't improve your strength much.

If you can go out to sea earlier and see the vastness of the world, it may be more helpful for your future."

"Is that so? Not bad!"

Zoro cheered excitedly, then turned to look at Luffy, and couldn't wait to challenge him again.

"Come and fight me. If you lose, I will go with you!"

Needless to say, the result of the challenge.

Zoro, with a big bump on his head, had his last lunch in Shimotsuki Village.

He said goodbye to his teacher, companions, and Kuina, and followed Luffy onto the warship.

When he boarded the ship, he brought almost nothing with him. He only wore the Wado Ichimonji on his waist. This sword was entrusted to him by Koshiro on the day Kuina left. The fight just now was also borrowed by Koshiro from him.

"Now, I mean what I said. I'll give you the Sandai Kitetsu.

Be careful when using it, it's a notorious demon sword."

He took off the Sandai Kitetsu from his waist and handed it to Zoro.

Luffy even scared him with a bad taste, wanting to see how Zoro would react when he was a child.
