Shigetsuki Koushiro kept talking about his profound swordsmanship to the outstanding disciples in the dojo.
He looked forward to it: "When you can understand this realm, you will enter the world of the strong."
"How far you can go depends on your own practice."
Shigetsuki Koushiro looked at the white blade in his hand.
He put away his famous sword and looked at Kuina.
"From now on, you should practice with the real thing, Kuina. This famous sword will be completely kept by you."
This was a famous sword passed down from his father. It was originally given to Kuina for safekeeping, but when the pirates came, he picked up the famous sword again.
"yes!"
Guina was excited. She had already touched a real sword in Uta's world and felt the heavy weight, so she no longer looked down on the bamboo sword.
Koushiro looked at Zoro, "These are two blunt knives. I leave them to you. They were made by my father. He saw that you were diligent, so he gave them to you."
Koushiro handed two unedged blunt knives to Zoro and looked at Luffy again, "You already have a knife, so I won't give you anything more."
He said.
Luffy nodded slightly, he was here to learn swordsmanship.
Wait... everyone has it but I don't. Is that really the case?
When giving Zoro the sword, he specifically mentioned that it was Kozaburo Shigetsuki who made it.
Is this a hint for me to hurry up and harass that old man?
After all, I have been practicing on the island for more than a month.
Could it be that I'm overthinking it?
Luffy fell into deep thought, am I overthinking?
The profession of swordsman has its own romance, and Luffy couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Something's wrong, why am I thinking so much? I just want to harass that guy to see if I can explode the equipment?
After thinking about this, Luffy suddenly became enlightened.
Have I been thinking too much lately?
I'm just a child now!
Knowledge must have cursed me!
"Kuina, take good care of this sword." Koushiro Shigezuki said to Kuina.
The latter held the famous sword and nodded.
In the evening, the small group of four met again in the dreamland.
"Kuina, let's duel with real swords!"
Zoro was full of confidence after getting two real swords, and he immediately challenged Kuina.
"Hmph, I won't lose!"
Kuina drew out the word "Hedao".
Luffy looked at the two of them, and then at the sky above the branches above the moon.
He took out a wooden shakuhachi and blew it. Ever since he set off fireworks in the dream world, Uta liked the scene with the moon very much. Although the night was hazy, it was enough to see things.
Accompanied by the desolate and vast music, Sauron attacked Kuina with two swords, as fast and fast as ever. The two swords danced toward the windmill and slashed at Kuina one after another.
"It has the momentum of a two-sword style!"
Kuina smiled slightly, but she dodged to avoid it. She no longer received Sauron's slashes head-on, but instead focused on skills.
"It's time to change your strategy of charging in without hesitation!"
Kuina's famous sword collided with Sauron's double blades, and each collision gave her a huge advantage. She could still defeat Sauron within five rounds, but she didn't seem to intend to do so.
Uta hugged her knees and sat next to Luffy, her little head resting on the boy's shoulder, listening to the melodious music and admiring the swordsmen's excellent skills.
Although Kuina was stalling for time, Zoro was defeated.
Age, height, diet, and many other factors will affect the effectiveness of exercise.
"Zoron, you have really become stronger." Hedao trailed off.
The girl looked at the boy in front of her who was defeated by her again.
Sauron became stronger. She couldn't dodge for a moment and was cut off by this guy. Fortunately, she was in the dream world and had no effect on her real body.
This was the first time in the past few years that Zoro had caused harm to her.
"Luffy is training me." Zoro said, "I still can't defeat Kuina."
"You are only nine years old..." she said.
Kuina had noticed that Luffy was training Zoro, but they were boys, so even though Kuina was curious about Luffy's training methods, she didn't want to be like Uta and train with the boys regardless.
Except for the dojo classes, where she would be with the boys, she usually trained alone. Because of Uta, she would also meet them at night.
Zoro used to be a lone wolf and would find things in the woods to train himself.
They were so obsessed with being number one that they separated themselves from the other apprentices.
Kuina looked at Luffy who was playing music and couldn't help but sigh, Uta's ability is so useful.
Let the body train itself and the brain frees itself to learn other things.
She walked towards the boy with her sword in hand.
"Luffy, I want to challenge you!" she said to Luffy.
The cold knife was pointed at the boy's throat.
"Yes, I accept it."
Luffy nodded with a smile. He stretched out his hand on the ground beside him, and the navy saber appeared in his palm.
"Come on Kuina, beat up Luffy!"
Uta formed her hands into the shape of a trumpet and cheered Kuina.
"I'm an egalitarian, so I won't show off to women."
Luffy said.
"I wish I could have it!"
She was solemn, holding blades in both hands, and her physical condition was better than ever. The confrontation with Zoro was just a warm-up, and the boy in front of her was her opponent.
Although I feel sorry for Zoro to think this way, it is true.
The battle with Luffy was completely different from the battle with Zoro. Just the foreshadowing conveyed waves of oppression. It was unimaginable that this boy had only learned swordsmanship for a month.
Both hands were on their scabbards, and they were both swordsmen of the one-sword style.
The sword was not unsheathed, but Guina seemed to feel the cold wind coming towards her face, not intending to leave any opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.
One fit!
Guina clearly felt the pressure coming from the other side. With only one chance to take action, the gap between them was destined to make it impossible for the soldiers to continuously collide.
Because what both parties are holding are real objects, murder weapons.
A knife like this can cut flesh and blood and take away the opponent's life as long as the user is stronger.
The two sides looked at each other and circled in preparation.
Even Sauron and Uta subconsciously held their breath, waiting for the result.
Guina is aware of her own weaknesses. She cannot compare with her opponent in speed, strength, and reaction. She can only play from the back, waiting for the slightest flaw in the opponent's first attack to break the opponent's posture. Only then can she rely on the power of the famous sword and the strength of her swordsmanship. Be strong and seek the chance of victory.
She would never dare to attack first.
"that……"
Luffy was a little satisfied with the classic anime scene of "two turns". As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the other person, and Kuina subconsciously drew the knife.
Make a loud "clang" sound.
Then the girl realized that Luffy did not attack and put the blade back in embarrassment.
Uta's toes curled up and her eyes looked away.
How should I put it...it's so embarrassing.
