A month and a half later, Youyouzi and his party finally arrived at Shuangyue Village.
Somewhat different from the original speculation, Shuangyue Village is a little more remote than the seats Yuyouzi and the others obtained. If it weren't for the sea map on Garp's warship, Yuyuko would have had to wander around this sea area for several days to find it.
During this period, the navy's bounty was collected bit by bit from several naval stations that had been alerted in advance.
On the way, Garp frequently lured Yuyuko to join the navy, and even directly threw out some high-benefits and high-paying chips. However, is Yuyuko the kind of person who would give up her ideals just for these salty benefits?
How could she... not be moved.
After all, why work hard when you can do it?
(From the analysis of human psychology, this is definitely a truth, but for the continuous upgrading and vigorous development of human society, this cannot become the mainstream thought. Everyone must understand that sometimes we have to talk about reality, sometimes we have to talk about dreams, and sometimes we have to talk about It’s the future.)
However, Yuyuko still firmly refused. Although Yuyuko was confident that the navy would not be able to find out her relationship with the Kozuki family, she was afraid of the worst. Besides, Yuyuko really didn’t like the days of working under orders.
She had had enough before she traveled through time, and now she just wanted to let herself live.
"It's such a pity. If you join the Navy with your qualifications, it's impossible to become at least a lieutenant general or even a general in ten years." Garp sighed with regret.
These days, Garp has gradually figured out the strength of Youyouzi and others.
Leaving aside Reiju and Keya for the time being, the identities of the Germa Kingdom and Keya quickly became known under the Navy’s intelligence network.
Keya's identity is not difficult to check. Because of the name Gerdall, the navy quickly traced the Kingdom of Godal, which was destroyed a few months ago. After that, the little girl once appeared in front of the public. After comparing the photos, it was basically confirmed that it was him.
As for Reiju, it was a surprise, because just some time ago, the Kingdom of Germa announced the death of their eldest princess, Vinsmoke Reiju. The intelligence officers compared the smiling photos and quickly discovered Danya, but the navy intelligence officers couldn't ask too many questions when Reiju repeatedly denied that she was covering up with Yuyuko.
Didn't you see that Garp wants to recruit people all day long? If this person is really recruited, this person will definitely be better than his intelligence soldier.
And after telling Garp about this, Garp didn't say anything.
However, what happened to the intelligence soldiers surprised Reiju.
Because the time from when Yuyuko abducted her from the Kingdom of Gersdore has not reached the three months originally agreed upon. And if Gaji directly declares her death, then it can basically be said that Gaji has given up on her.
A little sad, a little happy.
Maybe this is how Sanji feels...
A kind of relief, a kind of reluctance.
After all, he is still his father, and Reiju actually hopes that her father can be more humane.
However, with this information, Fulijiu was completely reassured.
Yuyuko was naturally very happy, and decisively promoted Reiju's status as a trainee crew member to a full crew member.
In addition, after experiencing the previous incident with the Giant Ax Pirates, Keya finally ate the paper fruit after hesitating for a long time.
But she never said it, and no one knew until one day when it rained that she just raised her hand and changed into an umbrella.
Nanami was worried that Garp's subordinates would find out, so she had only been in the room since boarding the ship. However, she was teased a few times by Yuyuko for the way she was nagging about Ace every day.
As for Bella, she did not get on the boat but went directly to the sea with Dabai.
"We're finally here~" Yuyuko shouted excitedly as she stepped on the solid earth.
"Quiet Yuyuko~" Kona glanced at Yuyuko and raised her fist as a slight warning.
"Huh~ I finally got off the boat. I feel like I've been released from prison!" Qishi said lazily, stretching.
Mina tilted her head, "Qishi, aren't you going to jail for what you said?"
"Have it?"
"Isn't it just like sitting in the room every day with the quilt on my face and not coming out?"
Qishi covered her chest and felt like she couldn't breathe.
Heartbroken.
"I~I'm just in the room where you improve yourself, um, improve your business capabilities." Qishi was still making the final struggle. But even she herself didn't believe these words.
Mina covered her mouth and snickered.
“Says you want to be a reporter, but doesn’t have a phone bug.”
Youyouzi struck mercilessly.
"I'm so sorry that I don't have a phone bug!" (T_T)
"Stop making trouble." Kona stopped everyone's discussion and turned to look at Yuyuko, "Yuyuko, we have already arrived on the island, so shouldn't it be time to talk about your goal here?"
"Target~" Youyouzi looked at the residence in the distance and her heart was filled with anticipation.
"Isshin Gym."
Yixin Gym is a swordsmanship gym in the corner of Shuangyue Village. It is also quite famous in this remote village. Several surrounding villages also know that this Yixin Gym has real materials.
Shigetsuki Koushiro is now nearly forty years old, but his temperament is like that of a man who has just entered his thirties. He is sitting on the main seat of the gym as usual, quietly watching several couples holding bamboo swords in the gym. Sword student.
There was plain relief in the narrowed eyes.
He inherited his father's will and just wanted to be ordinary. He didn't care about reputation, so the talents of the students he accepted were basically not very good. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to recruit children with outstanding talents, but as his father said when he taught him kendo, talent is only the speed of growth but not the most important thing in the path of kendo.
The most important thing is character and perseverance.
A bad character means practicing evil ways. No matter how good your talent is, it will only bring harm to the world in the end. If you have an impetuous mind, you will not go far.
And perseverance is even more important. The art of swordsmanship is not achieved overnight, but depends on the long-term persistence that accumulates over time. Without this perseverance and perseverance, swordsmanship is nothing more than moonlight in a cup, just a joke.
And there is no successor in this gym who can truly inherit the Shuoyueliu swordsmanship.
Even the most gifted daughter is like this. Her heart is shaken and hesitant because of her gender. And this hesitation has made it impossible for her to go far in the path of swordsmanship. Unless she lets go of the hesitation in her heart, it will be difficult for her to move forward.
Fortunately, a green-haired kid came to the gym some time ago. The arrival of this boy made the entire gym more energetic and allowed Koushiro to see some changes in Kuina.
"Look, that brat Zoro is here to challenge Kuina again."
"How many times has this happened?"
"About three hundred times."
"It's really persevering~"
The girl sighed helplessly and raised the bamboo sword in her hand.
She had long been accustomed to Sauron's challenges. Even if she was silent, the boy who didn't care about anything would still attack on his own initiative.
Since there would be a battle in the end no matter what, Guina could only try her best to fight head-on and convince the opponent.
However, this goal seems difficult to achieve.
"Come on, you can't beat me." Guina said calmly, this is the fact.
The young man followed the three-sword style. Not only did he have swords in his hands, but he also had one in his mouth.
With a low shout, he charged with his sword.
Shigetsuki Koushiro smiled slightly and shook his head.
This child's sword skills have no skills at all. To say it is a sword, it is better to say that the sword has turned into his teeth and claws, and his sword skills are like a beast.
However, his smile suddenly dropped slightly and he looked towards the door of the gym.
Guest or enemy?
The next moment, several girls walked in at the door of the gym. Judging from their height, they were all between ten and twenty years old, but strangely the leader was the shortest girl.
Yuyouzi slowly walked to the door of the gym, took a look at the ongoing battle in the gym and couldn't help but laugh.
The green-haired boy swinging his sword randomly, and the female swordsman who responded calmly. There is no doubt that the green-haired boy is Nonoa Zoro, Luffy's crazy swordsman in the future, and the female swordsman is the goal of her trip. Frost Moon Guyina.
At this time, Shigetsuki Koushiro saw the visitor and naturally couldn't sit upright in the inner hall. He slowly walked to the door, "Are you here just to learn skills or for some other purpose?"
As he spoke, a glint flashed in Koushiro's eyes, but there was a gentle smile on his face.
The words were spoken out of courtesy, but also out of surprise that the visitor was a child.
But just because he was a child, Koushiro was even more confused.
Under the guidance of his father Kozaburo, his swordsmanship is not invincible, but if he is determined to compete for the fame of a great swordsman, he can do it.
Naturally, it was impossible for him not to understand what domination was. His knowledge told him that the strength of the three leading children was definitely not at the same level as those in his gym.
And no one in this group of people looked familiar to him, so these people must not be from Shuangyue Village.
Youyouzi took a deep breath. Following the Wano etiquette taught by her deceased parents in her mind, she gave a very respectful greeting ceremony, "The daughter of Kozuki's retainer, Shikami Yuyuko, pays her respects to the master of Shigetsuki Hall."
Youyouzi emphasized the words Guangyue and Shuangyue in her words, indicating her own identity.
Koushiro's plain face showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Are you from Wano Country?"
"No, I am the only one from the country of peace."
"Really, where do you know me from? Forget it, let's talk about it first."
Shigetsuki Koushiro is not a native of Wano. His father Shigetsuki Kozaburo left Wano more than fifty years ago. At that time, he was not born yet. He only listened to his father’s constant nagging about Wano. Just know a little bit.
Although this girl named Shikami Yuyuko could not come without a purpose, he was also very curious about the hometown that his father always missed.
"Then excuse me."
Nodding and smiling, Yuyuko took off her shoes and entered the dojo.
Yuyuko was wearing wooden clogs that had been flattened a lot. The smooth wooden boards were a little cold, but this made Yuyuko's body feel a little natural.
Some memories of jumping around in a Japanese-style residence suddenly appeared in my mind.
Smiling lightly, "I know, I know."
"Yuyuko, what are you talking about?" Mina felt that Yuyuko said something.
"It's nothing." Yuyouzi poked Mina's forehead, "I'm just a little happy."
The words just now were spoken by Youyouzi to herself, and she was also speaking to herself. The familiar feeling of stepping on the wooden board, this is the joy of this body, the joy of that Wano girl, and now the memories have long been merged together, and naturally this joy is engraved into the instinct.
Yuyuko's words were just a reminder to herself that she was now Yuyuko Shikami, not some time-travelling social beast.
But this feeling is actually not bad. Youyouzi sighed in his heart.
"Pa~!"
Just when Yuyuko was still feeling happy about stepping on the wooden board with her bare feet, a bamboo sword whirled in the air and flew towards Yuyuko.
However, Yuyouzi, whose body was relaxed and indulged in joy, did not even notice the sudden bamboo sword. The bamboo sword hit Yuyouzi's smiling face accurately.
Yuyouzi's smile solidified...
The corners of Koushiro's mouth twitched.
"I'm sorry, I hope you don't take it to heart when children are making trouble."
…
What met Koushiro was Yuyuko's aggrieved look.
Why do my eyes contain tears? Because I am only eleven years old!
Who is not a child?
Koushiro fell silent as soon as he finished speaking. Apparently he was used to this kind of apology routine and didn't realize that the guest this time was also a young 'child'. Even this star child is younger than his daughter who knocked the bamboo sword away in his mouth.
As for why he knew that Yuyouzi was definitely younger than his daughter, don't ask, it was just a man's intuition.
Guina also saw that the bamboo sword she had knocked away hit the girl who had just come in from outside, so she immediately left the stunned Zoro next to her and walked quickly to apologize.
"I'm sorry little sister, I accidentally hurt you."
Several black lines popped out of Youyouzi's head.
Little sister...
However, Yuyouzi felt calm and didn't say anything after all. Not to mention that the other party apologized quickly and sincerely, but I was not actually hurt at all.
Both sides smiled awkwardly, and the matter was over.
A few minutes later, in the back room of the gym, Kuina made tea for her father and the girl whom her father regarded as a guest. Kuina couldn't help but take a second look at the girl Kuina who was wearing something similar to her father's clothes.
But I always have a slight sense of fear.
Kuina knew that after making tea, she apologized to Yuyuko again and slowly left the room.
Next, she had to arrange housing for several other girls who came with the girl named Yuyuko.
In the room, Koushiro nodded slightly after seeing his daughter exit the room and looked at Yuyuko, "I don't know what the purpose of this distinguished guest coming all the way to find me, the little kendo gym leader."
Youyouzi sat up straight, nodded and whispered, "I have two purposes here."
"First, the Shigetsuki family is a sword-making family. The swordsman Shigetsuki Kozaburo left the country of Wano more than fifty years ago and has since disappeared. I am also from the country of Wano. Anyone who hears about his hometown should naturally visit me."
"I am Koushiro Shigetsuki, and Kozaburo Shigetsuki is my father. He has passed away many years ago, and I have lived overseas since I was a child. I know nothing about Wano. The girl must have visited the wrong person."
"No, the Shuoyuki family and the Kozuki family are two long-established families in the country of Wano. My father and mother are all Kozuki retainers and have an old relationship with the Shuoyue family. Naturally, I should visit when I have an opportunity in a foreign land. This is etiquette."
"Secondly, the little lady also has another purpose for visiting, but this purpose is slightly offensive."
Saying that, Youyouzi took the first step and bowed to apologize.
Kozaburo had a bad feeling for a moment, but he still frowned slightly and nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter."
After hearing Kozaburo's words, Youyou sat up straight again, "The little girl is actually here for the daughter of the owner of Shuoyue Pavilion. The little girl wants to invite the owner's daughter to join the little girl's fleet and go out to sea for adventure."
"puff!!"
Kozaburo Shigezuki, who was always calm, spurted out a mouthful of tea after hearing Yuyuko's words.
