One Piece: Beginning as the Monkey King

Two days later, in the back hills of Shimotsuki Village, the official battle between Bardock and Koshiro was about to begin. This time, only Enel and Daz Bonis were close, Robin and the others could only watch from afar, Zoro and Kuina stayed with Robin and the others, and the discussion could not stop at all. As expected of an official battle, Bardock and Koshiro simultaneously swung a flying slash at each other. This was the way for the official swordsmen to greet each other. Through the flying slash, you can know how far the other party has gone on the road of swordsmen. Of course, the one with a strong flying slash may not necessarily become the final winner, but it is still okay to get a feel for it. Two flying slashes of different colors met in the air, and the sound of air friction came one after another.

With a "snap", the two flying slashes broke almost at the same time.

They had exchanged sword skills last time. This time, Bardock and Koshiro skipped the test and showed their real skills directly.

Bardock's sword was wrapped with armed color domineering at the same time, and his body flashed quickly with "shave", and he swung and slashed around Koshiro continuously.

One after another, small flying slashes flew out, sweeping all of Koshiro's dodge space, making it difficult for him to dodge, and he would be overwhelmed by the slashes if he didn't move.

Koshiro didn't dodge, nor did he respond with flying slashes. Whenever Bardock's flying slashes came to him, he would use the sword in his hand to pick up the flying slashes and change the direction of the flying slashes. Sometimes, the flying slashes that were picked up would hit the later flying slashes.

This variant of the "Prince's Tactics" did not work, and Bardock began to fight in close combat.

Unlike the previous few days, Bardock was stronger and faster, and his sword was fast and heavy.

Koshiro began to feel the pressure.

At the same time, Bardock also discovered a weakness of Koshiro: he lacked experience in fighting opponents of the same level.

Koshiro's swordsmanship was undoubtedly very good. His various swordsmanship skills and various domineering uses were all at the master level.

But his attack rhythm was very problematic. Not long after, he became mainly defensive and occasionally counterattacked. This is a fighting strategy that only occurs when you are at a great disadvantage. Koshiro should have a better choice now.

Listening to the roar coming from afar, Kuina was very nervous. Her father was fighting with someone, and it seemed that the battle was very intense.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked back and saw that it was Nico Robin.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Robin's voice was very calm, but it was very persuasive. Kuina inexplicably listened to it.

"Yeah!" Kuina nodded, thinking of the many places Robin and the others had been to, so she asked, "Sister Robin, do you know which strong women are there in the sea?"

"Strong women? I have heard of quite a few, but there is only one I have seen with my own eyes."

Robin stopped, sorted out her thoughts, and continued, "The first one must be the Queen of Ten Thousand Nations, the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Linlin. She has the title of a natural destroyer. At the age of 5, she killed a giant hero in seconds and destroyed a The village of giants is now one of the strongest people on the sea.

The second one is the Pirate Queen. I have seen her. She is the most beautiful woman in the world. She swept the Sabaody Archipelago supernova when she was just 18 years old. She became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea at a young age.

The third one is from Bardock. The female swordsman of the navy, Vice Admiral Gion, is said to be one of the strongest swordsmen in the navy.

In addition, there is the daughter of Kaido, the King of Beasts..."

Kuina could no longer hear the rest of the words. The only thing in her mind was the name of the female swordsman of the navy, Gion.

'I must ask her if a woman can become the world's number one swordsman?' Kuina thought to herself.

Robin soon found that Kuina was distracted and waved a hand in front of her. Kuina came back to her senses immediately, with an embarrassed expression on her face, "Sorry, I was lost in thought."

"It doesn't matter. Do you want to be a strong man? This road is not easy. " Robin seemed to see Kuina's thorny road ahead.

Kuina mustered up her courage and said, "I want to be the world's greatest swordsman!"

"I must be the world's greatest swordsman." Zoro, who was standing next to her, interrupted immediately after hearing Kuina's words.

Kuina glanced at Zoro, "Hmph! Stupid Zoro! You've already lost 2,000 games in a row, beat me first!"

Zoro was so angry that he wanted to duel with Kuina immediately, but it was obviously not the right time, so he was stopped by Robin.

This

At this time, the battle between Bardock and Koshiro had already entered a white-hot stage, and it seemed that the outcome would be decided in the next moment.

"Elbaf's Spear·Haguo!"

The giant tribe's moves were used by Bardock.

If it weren't for the sparring, Bardock would have used his improved version of "Haguo·Break", but there was no need for it in the current situation.

The powerful shock wave was moving at a high speed, and Koshiro was a little tired at the moment, and it was too late to dodge.

"..."

He tried his best to send out several consecutive slashes, but they were all bounced off by the shock wave of Baguo. Fortunately, Baguo was also weakened a lot.

"Boom..."

Koshiro held the sword tightly against the shock wave, and his body inevitably slid backwards. Along the way, whether it was a big tree or a huge rock, they were all broken and smashed by Koshiro.

"Ah!"

Koshiro suddenly pushed his legs against the ground to stop retreating. The muscles of his arms holding the sword bulged, and he exerted force suddenly. Finally, the shock wave of Baguo was picked up by him.

Zoro also learned this move of bulging arms in the later period. It was called Gangliluo. It turned out that he learned it from Koshiro.

Koshiro panted heavily, and his bulging arms returned to their original state. His hands holding the sword trembled visibly. This is a taboo among swordsmen. It can be seen that Koshiro is already at the end of his strength.

"Do you want to continue?" Bardock stopped and asked.

He knew that Koshiro could fight for a while, but it seemed unnecessary.

"That's it. You won."

Koshiro took a long breath and sheathed his sword. Bardock was stronger than him, but his physical strength was far better than his. Until now, he had not even had a disorder in his breathing. He had no chance of winning.

In the distance, seeing that the fighting had stopped, Kuina looked at the battlefield worriedly, but the distance was a bit far, and she couldn't see how her father was.

"Don't worry, it's over, they're all fine."

Robin immediately told Kuina what she had found, and Kuina finally let go of the heavy stone in her heart.

Not long after, Bardock came over with Koshiro, whose clothes were a little torn. Kuina cried and rushed over to hug Koshiro, and Koshiro whispered to comfort her.

Zoro watched from the side, touching the back of his head strangely, wondering why Kuina was still crying even though her master had returned safely.

The matter was over, and Bardock took the opportunity to say goodbye to Koshiro and the others. It was time to go to the next island.

Koshiro tried to persuade them to stay, but seeing that Bardock and the others had made up their minds, he stopped forcing them and sent them to the port.

"Hey, I will definitely defeat you next time we meet." Zoro looked at the White Dragon Horse going away and shouted loudly.

Bardock nodded, "I'll wait for you on the sea."

The ship sailed farther and farther, and the island gradually disappeared.
