Kuina's departure made the atmosphere in the dojo suddenly become quiet.

Originally, the apprentices in the Taoist temple thought that Guina had won the final victory.

After all, Kuina's bamboo sword could land on Shirley's body, but Shirley's attack failed.

But from the conversation between Kuina and Shirley, it can be heard that it is not that Shirley did not attack Kuina.

But Shirley did this deliberately to avoid hurting Kuina.

The apprentices all saw the power of Shirley's sword. After all, not just anyone could easily cut a big hole in the ground of the Taoist temple with a bamboo sword.

It can be said that it is clear at a glance who wins and who loses between the two.

"Okay, you all can disperse."

While the apprentices were still talking among themselves, Koushiro spoke.

After hearing this, the apprentices left one after another, leaving only Lu Ming and others.

"Master Koshiro, how strong is my niece?"

Koushiro glanced at Shirley next to Lu Ming complicatedly, and then said with approval: "Excellent talent."

These are not polite words, but Koushiro's thoughts from his heart.

You must know that Isshin-ryu swordsmanship is not something that ordinary people can learn at a glance.

Even if you just learn the sword moves, this is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Not to mention the physical fitness shown by Shirley is enough to make up for the gap between her and male swordsmen.

It can even be said that her physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary male swordsmen.

There was just one point that Koushiro felt he had to remind Lu Ming.

"Your Holiness, if I read correctly, this little girl should be a Devil Fruit user."

Lu Ming smiled and said: "Your Excellency, the museum owner, you can take it as such."

It can be regarded as...

This ambiguous answer made Koushiro a little stunned.

If you are a devil fruit user, you are a devil fruit user. If you are not, you are not.

What can be regarded as...

However, Koushiro did not dwell on this and said seriously: "Your Majesty the Pope, although kendo is a skill that depends on talent, it also requires a lot of effort."

"Do you know why there are so few people with Devil Fruit abilities in the ocean who have become swordsmen?"

Lu Ming heard this and replied with a smile: "It is true that human energy is limited. It is indeed impossible for ordinary people to develop devil fruit abilities and hone sword skills at the same time."

"That's right, so His Excellency the Pope, you will treat the apprentices in the Taoist temple equally, but whether they can achieve success can only depend on themselves."

Now these apprentices include Shirley.

He was obviously telling Lu Ming what he said.

If Shirley is unable to make progress in her swordsmanship because she is distracted by her Devil Fruit abilities, Koushiro has no good solution.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "This is natural. Don't worry, Mr. Koshiro. I still know this."

Then Lu Ming turned his head and said to Shirley beside him: "Shirley, stay here for the next two years and learn kendo with Master Koshiro. I will send someone to pick you up after two years."

Two years later, it happened to be the time when Lu Ming finished participating in the World Parliament.

At that time, the Church of Order will be able to appear in the pirate world as an official country.

Hearing this, Shirley was stunned and opened her mouth slightly to say something, but in the end she remained silent.

But Linna next to her didn't have so many scruples.

In the Holy City, the two little guys were similar in age, and both had a high concentration of Godzilla blood.

It can be said that Shirley is Linna's only friend in the Holy City.

Hearing that Lu Ming wanted to leave his little friend here and not take him back to the Holy City, the little guy was immediately happy.

"Sir Pope, why do you keep Shirley here? I feel they are all weak. What can they teach Shirley!"

Koushiro smiled and said nothing, and Lu Ming didn't speak either.

Only Catherine flicked Lina's head hard with her hand.

"How dare you, little fellow, object to the Pope?"

"But..." Lina covered her head in grievance, wanting to say something else.

But when she saw Catherine's sharp eyes, she finally swallowed what she wanted to say.

Little guy, do you think the Pope only 'sold' Shirley? You little guy can't go back this time...

Catherine looked at Lina with some sympathy in her eyes.

After all, she still doesn't know that Lu Ming has made the decision to send her to the navy.

So from Catherine's point of view, Linna should not think about how to keep Shirley.

It would be better to think carefully about what she should do after being left behind by Lu Ming.

After all, the little guy is crossing the river like a clay Buddha and cannot protect himself.

For Shirley, Catherine's feelings are not particularly deep.

After all, Shirley just joined the Holy City, unlike Lina who was in the Holy City from the beginning.

After all, Catherine treats Lina as her own sister.

Ever since, Shirley's stay at Yixin Taoist Temple has almost become a permanent settlement.

After all, the only one who can speak for her is Lina, a little loli whose words have no weight.

"Shirley, we will come to you soon!"

Outside Yixin Taoist Temple, Linna reluctantly shouted to Shirley.

Shirley looked at Lu Ming and others who were about to leave, and her face was about to cry.

Seeing this, Lu Ming could only sigh secretly in his heart.

After all, she was the little one who spent a lot of time with her, and Lu Ming still had some feelings for her.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming threw a cute pink snail to Shirley.

"This is a phone bug. If you miss us, you can use this to call us.",

"Well! Thank you, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Shirley held the phone and smiled instantly.

"Your Holiness, Your Majesty the Pope, here I am, here I am!"

Lu Ming lowered his head and saw Lina looking at him expectantly.

Huh? How did you know I was going to give you the phone bug too?

After all, the next place he wants to go is Windmill Village, and he will leave Lina there.

There are naturally many things like telephone bugs that can communicate over long distances.

"Of course you do too."

Lu Ming looked strange and threw a phone bug at Lina.

Catherine on the side looked at Lina who was holding the phone bug excitedly and having a great time playing there, and she suddenly felt like she hated the iron.

From Catherine's point of view, Lina, who had taken the phone bug, was clearly telling Lu Ming that she was ready to be left behind and live alone!

"Shirley, practice hard these two years. I hope you can bring me a huge surprise when I see you next time."

"Shirley will definitely practice well, Lord Pope."

Shirley held the phone bug in her hands and said firmly.

"Okay, if you encounter any problems in the future, remember to use the phone bug to notify us. After all, we people from the Holy City have no reason to not retaliate after being bullied."

After finishing speaking, Lu Ming took Catherine and Linna and walked straight towards the beach.
