Chapter 331. The Little Butterfly Takes Off in the East China Sea
Donghai, Shuangyue Village.
The small courtyard where Shigetsuki Koushiro and Kazan originally had their discussions.
Swish.
Bang.
Two children, a boy and a girl, were waving the knives in their hands, and the blades were constantly intersecting and colliding in the air.
The two swords in the little boy's hands are violent and messy, with some shadows of Kazan; while the little girl's figure is noble and elegant, dancing with a certain kind of gorgeous and mysterious swordsmanship.
The crisp and harsh sound constantly echoed in the small courtyard.
"How can it be repaired!!!"
In the end, the little boy with green hair and short head failed.
"In the 2001st time, I win! The score is 2001:0."
The little girl with blue hair raised her head high and put away the bamboo sword in her hand.
"You lost again!!! There's no pattern in your swordsmanship!"
Zoro was slumped on the ground, breathing heavily while complaining about Kuina's weird swordsmanship.
"Hmph! If idiot Zoro could find the rules so easily, I wouldn't learn from Brother Kazan."
What Kuina is using is the [Li·Ghost Swordsmanship (Imperial Swordsmanship Influenced Edition)] that Kazan taught her.
Kazan's original Ghost Swordsmanship was only brought in by Xi Lan, and then he was given full authority to be taught by his second senior sister Nuo Yu.
However, Nuoyu took it upon himself to teach Kazan by mixing the imperial swordsmanship he had learned.
This kind of swordsmanship was of little help to Kazan, which made Nuoyu disappointed and regretful for a time. He was even taught a lesson by Xilan for this a few years ago, even though Kazan had been missing for nine years at that time.
However, what I didn't expect was that the Li-Ghost Sword Technique that Nuo Yu had changed was extremely suitable for women to practice.
And Guina unintentionally became the profiteer of this kind of swordsmanship.
With both the mystery of Ri-Oni Swordsmanship and the nobility of Imperial Swordsmanship, Kuina has now become the senior sister in the Isshin Gym who is deeply admired by her juniors!
Guina knew very well that as she grew older, the physical gap between her and Zoro became smaller and smaller.
Now, Sauron's power is on par with hers!
Zoro is obviously two years younger than her! Will the gap get bigger and bigger in the future?!
Guina felt that this was unfair, and although she was unwilling to do so, there was nothing she could do about it.
Moreover, the eldest brother said that although boys have an advantage in strength, women are more talented in coordination. Coupled with the Ri-Oni Swordsmanship he gave her, Kuina does not think that she will be worse than Zoro in the future.
"Zoron, you are absolutely incompetent!"
"Hmph! I will defeat you next time, just wait and see!"
Zoro himself also knew that what he said was a bit fanciful.
Kuina found that the gap in strength between herself and Zoro was getting wider and wider, but Zoro also found that the gap in swordsmanship between Kuina and herself was getting wider and wider.
Somewhere in the small courtyard, Shigetsuki Koushiro looked at the two healthy and lively little guys and smiled, but soon showed a distressed expression.
Ever since Kuina learned a mysterious swordsmanship from Kazan, her swordsmanship level has improved so fast that even Koushiro Shigezuki was surprised.
Now Koushiro Shigezuki no longer forces Kuina to learn things like flower arrangement and cooking that girls should learn like before. Instead, he adopts a free-range way of raising Kuina.
He didn't want Kuina to take the path of a swordsman, because he thought it was impossible for a girl to reach the end of this path.
But looking at his daughter's hopeful eyes, he couldn't say anything to stop her, so he had no choice but to treat her like this.
Shigetsuki Koushiro knew that Kazan was more optimistic about his daughter than Zoro, and even spent all his money to teach her a very good swordsmanship.
Koushiro Shigetsuki has personally practiced this kind of swordsmanship before, but he didn't find anything strange about it.
But Guina has brought out the advantages of this swordsmanship very well, and as the level of Guina's swordsmanship improves, the charm of this swordsmanship becomes more and more vivid.
He never imagined that this was originally a set of imperial swordsmanship infused with his own style by the Great Sword Emperor Noyu from another world. It was extremely adaptable to women, but... useless to men.
"Kazan-kun... do you really think that child's future can go further than Sauron?"
Shigetsuki Koushiro's squinting eyes were switching between his daughter and his apprentice, and his heart was somewhat complicated.
Until now, Shigetsuki Koushiro still believes that Zoro's future is more promising, and the physical gap has now been made up.
Now, Zoro is only nine years old.
Not to mention Koushiro Shigezuki here, the two children in the distance started interacting again.
"Zoron!"
"ah?"
"Next time, let's fight with real swords later! Using bamboo swords is no longer interesting to us."
"...Well, okay! I'll go get it right now."
When Sauron heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but his eyes soon brightened up. He had never used the 'Elk' that Kazan had given him.
Seeing Zoro running away, Kuina also went up to her attic to get the sword her father left for her.
The word "harmony" means "harmony".
In the attic, Kuina held up Wadao Yimoji, which was still a little slender for her, with inexplicable meaning in her heart.
If his father really had no expectations for him, why would he be willing to leave this knife to himself?
Guina understood that her father still had expectations for her!
Just not as big as Sauron!
But it doesn't matter, it's enough to know this. The rest...she will prove it to her father just like Brother Kazan said.
Guina fell into fantasy about the future, and went down to the attic with Hedao in her arms.
Then once she loses concentration, she stops looking at the path under her feet and simply misses the mark.
Bang!
"Huh... so dangerous!"
Just as she was about to fall, Kuina directly pressed the word "Wado" in her hand against the ground.
This is a habit I developed when I first started practicing with Kazan.
I don’t know why during that time, she would be moved by rocks if she wasn’t paying attention, which caused Kuina to rarely lose her concentration.
But sometimes she still fell, so she began to develop a method of pressing the knife on the ground before falling.
Anyway, the knife is basically close to her body, so she is not afraid of falling.
Walking down from the attic with Hedao Yimon in his arms, he saw Zoro already standing there waiting stupidly.
Rumble.
"Huh?! Why did it suddenly thunder and rain?"
"How can it be repaired? Isn't it impossible to duel?"
Zoro was a little angry. In this case, the duel would have to be postponed until the rain stopped.
Guina smiled and didn't care at all. She looked at the dim sky and suddenly thought of Brother Kazan for some reason.
"What is Brother Kazan doing now..."
...
Donghai, Xiluobu Village.
A child with a long nose was trying hard to aim a huge wooden slingshot at a big tree more than ten meters away.
Ever since Kazan, Sugar and the others left.
Usopp looked at the giant steel slingshot that Kazan left for him with envy, and tried to pick it up from the rocky ground where it was inserted.
Unfortunately, it failed.
The steel slingshot is too heavy, and it is inserted into the rocky ground. Without a certain amount of strength, it cannot be taken out at all.
So he could only use wood to imitate a giant wooden slingshot of the same size and shape, and use it for practice first, as a foundation for the future.
Not only that, he now also does various training every day.
He had seen the physical training conducted by the three men named Bellamy, Akin and Tiga from the Monster Pirates.
He also followed suit. At first he couldn't hold on to one or two, and he even had the idea of giving up at one point, thinking that he might as well just let it go.
But then he remembered Kazan's story about the 'Jesus Cloth' and the agreement with Sugar, so Usopp persisted.
After three years of giving up and persevering countless times, he can now do more than a dozen per day.
This is nothing.
But for a child under ten years old, it is already very good.
If I continue like this for ten more years, my physical fitness will definitely not be bad when I go to sea.
"The world's best sniper... I don't know how far Sugar has come now. I have to work hard."
...
Donghai, Cocosia Village.
"Hey! Nokigao, Nami, please slow down on the road!"
"Okay~" x2
"Don't worry, Bellemere, I will keep an eye on them."
Bellemere looked at the tall figures leading his two daughters away, still a little dazed, then turned back and sighed: "How long do you plan to stay here..."
Sitting in Bellemere's house at this time was Aaron, who left decisively after Jinbe became the Shichibukai!
The one who accompanied Nokigao and Nami just now was Octopus Hachi who came with Aaron.
"Hahahahahaha! Don't drive us away! It's rare to find a village where Brother Kazan stayed before. We also want to stay a little longer."
Aaron laughed loudly without warning. When he landed, he originally wanted to capture this place with cruel means.
But after seeing a pattern carved at the entrance of Cocosia Village, Aaron immediately changed his mind.
That pattern has been seen by the entire Aaron Pirates and is even familiar with it. It is the symbol of the monster family!
In order to understand what was going on, some misunderstandings arose.
But Aaron finally understood the relationship between Cocosia Village and Kazan.
Among them, I also learned that the closest relationship with Kazan in this village was the woman in front of me and her two adopted daughters.
Cocosia Village also knew that Aaron and his gang had some connections with the monster family.
So, Aaron took the entire Aaron pirate group to stay, and settled near Cocosia Village, visiting from time to time.
By the way, we should deal with some stupid pirates who dare to come to Cocosia Village to seek death.
Well... with how much the Arlong Pirates hate humans, we can somewhat imagine the fate of those humans.
It's just that the members of the Aaron Pirates didn't let everyone in Cocosia Village know.
Now Cocosia Village and Aaron's group are quite familiar with each other. From the beginning, they reluctantly trusted them for the sake of the monster family, and now they are open to them.
It has been about three or four months, and everyone in Cocosia Village has already regarded Aaron and his gang as one of their own, and they have never reported the whereabouts of Aaron's pirate group to the navy.
Even when the navy came, everyone would help hide Aaron and his group, even though Aaron and his group were not afraid of the navy, and even had some desire to be cruel.
"Tch...I knew from the moment I met Kazan that our family would definitely have to come into contact with the pirates who knew him in the future, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Bellemeier seemed to have a slight headache.
"As Brother Kazan's fame grows, his legends and stories are destined to spread again in the three seas in the East, West and North that he has traveled through. The West Sea is Brother Kazan's hometown and his admirers are everywhere. The North Sea is the hometown of Brother Kazan.
There were the Vinsmoke family watching, but there was no one on the East China Sea side, so I brought my compatriots here, like the kind of young man who doesn't know what to do in his name. We met a man, Destroyed
Drop one."
"It seems...I have to prepare early."
The emergence of the Arlong Pirates was a wake-up call for Bellemere. She had to think about Nokigao and Nami.
"What are your plans?"
"I was originally a Marine."
"...I understand, don't worry. If you plan to join the navy, choosing a good navy branch is very important. Let's show you first."
Aaron hesitated a little after hearing what Bellemere said. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Bellemere meant.
"Thanks."
"It's okay, but Nami doesn't seem to be willing to join the navy. The navy has too many rules. She..."
"Tsk..."
Apparently Bellemere also thought of this, covering his head and not knowing what to do for a while.
"It's still a long time. It's better to let Nami make her own decision. Before that..."
"Um?"
"Let us, the Arlong Pirates, help you improve your combat effectiveness first. This will save you from having to start as a miscellaneous soldier."
Aaron stood up and walked to the orange grove in the backyard of Bellemeier's house. Gathered here were a group of ferocious murlocs.
"Bermere."
"ah?"
"Starting today, I will teach you... fish-man karate."
"Um...ok."
Bellmere was stunned for a moment, and then nodded solemnly. For the sake of Nozhiko and Nami, he could no longer slack off.
At the same time, Kroobbi, who had been rescued by Kazan in the Kingdom of Goa, also stood up. His toned muscles and huge figure showed his strength.
His identity in the Sun Pirates is second only to Tiger, Jinbe and Arlong, so he is not particularly powerful.
It's just that... he got a pair of snow mastiff armor from Kazan... This once made other murlocs' eyes red with envy.
"Then leave it to me to take care of Nuoqigao."
Croobie said without surprise that Aaron had told him about this problem before and wanted to help everyone in Cocosia Village improve their combat effectiveness.
The other members of the Aaron Pirates also stood up with smiles, obviously everyone already had their own mentor.
Bellemere looked at the group of ferocious and ugly murlocs in front of him and smiled.
