Opening: Devil Fruit can be upgraded

Faced with Kuina's question about qualifications, Rogge was silent for a long time.

Was he not qualified to challenge other swordsmen?

Was he only doing the challenge to complete the task issued by the system?

"Because... I need it, and you need it too." Roger said calmly,

"Need it?" Kuina didn't understand what Rogge meant.

"That's right, I need to improve my swordsmanship, and you need someone like me who is much stronger to prove yourself."

Listening to Rogge's opinion, Kuina frowned rarely.

Her father once said that she couldn't be the world's greatest swordsman because her physical condition as a woman was not enough to support her goal.

Why did this junior brother named Rogge seem to know what his father said...

But it was undeniable that this junior brother was right. She did need to defeat someone with superb swordsmanship and a strong body to prove herself.

Prove that what his father said might also be wrong!!!

""Okay, you've convinced me. You are indeed what I need." Kuina said seriously, but she seemed to feel that her words were a little inappropriate, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Well, let's continue the fight."

Rogge didn't realize that Kuina was wrong, and just wanted to convince Kuina to continue the unfinished fight.

"You are still the first to strike."Guina said like a senior sister.

"Well, but next I will use my original swordsmanship. Although it is not the most exquisite swordsmanship, it has a special effect. You have to be careful."Rogge reminded while holding the sword

"Come on and attack without worry." Although Rogge said it seriously, Kuina didn't take it seriously. How could a man with such crude sword skills develop any extraordinary sword moves?

"New sword style. Cold knife!"

After saying this in a low voice, Rogge ran towards Kuina at his fastest speed.

"It's just faster, it's nothing special."

Guina thought to herself and raised her hand to predict the direction of Rogge's attack again.

""Cut!" Rogge leaped up and slashed down with his sword, hitting the spot that Kuina had predicted.

Then he passed by Kuina.

Snap!

Rogge's wooden sword was broken.

"This is……"Just as Kuina was about to laugh at him, she found that her wooden sword also broke. However, unlike Rogge, Rogge's sword was broken by force, while Kuina's sword was broken by cold!

Rogge's use of the fruit's power has become stronger!

Rogge completely hit the starting point of the fruit's power on one point of his wooden sword. Relatively speaking, the transmission range is also smaller. The target of this move can be said to be looking for individuals among individuals!

The temperature generated in this way is much lower than the lowest temperature that Rogge can reach now, which can freeze Kuina's wooden sword completely!

"How did you do that? Kuina asked in shock. Originally, Kuina thought that Rogge's sword move was just to chop with greater force, but she didn't expect such an unexpected result.

"I am the user of the Cold-cold Fruit, I have added the power of the fruit to my sword"

"Cold fruit?" Kuina asked in confusion.

"It is a fruit that gives people special abilities when eaten. However, after eating this fruit, people will be afraid of seawater. You must not eat it, Kuina."

Zoro took the initiative to explain the existence of the Cold Fruit, but he showed his"discrimination" against the fruit ability users. Of course, this"discrimination" means that this kind of swordsman who relies on external forces is not worthy of being the number one swordsman.

"A fruit that gives people...special abilities?"

"Yes, this fruit is also called the Devil Fruit. Anyone who eats it can gain various special powers, but the price is the same as what Zoro said, such a person will become afraid of sea water."Rogge explained

"Then... forget it." Kuina hesitated.

How could she rely on external forces to become the greatest swordsman just to strengthen her body?

"It's OK." Although Kuina didn't say it, Roger still understood what Kuina meant.

"What?"Guina looked at Rogge in confusion.

"Eating a devil fruit with a certain ability can give you a strong body."Roger explained

"That……"

"Kuina, are you going to betray your dream?"Obviously Zoro was a little dissatisfied with Kuina's hesitation.

"In fact, women can also become strong swordsmen. As for the so-called number one swordsman, when you really feel that you can't make any progress, then consider the devil fruit. Don't seek far away, your strength is still far away."

After saying this, Rogge put away his sword and prepared to turn around and leave.

Today's mission failed, and a draw was not considered a victory, so Rogge planned to go to Master Koshiro to learn.

"Wait a minute." Kuina called to Roger.

"What's wrong?" Roger stopped and asked calmly.

"I want to know about that devil fruit." Kuina requested

"Kuina!"

"Shut up, you don't need to care about my business, and I don't plan to rely on this kind of thing now. Besides, you can't even beat me, so you should give priority to external things."Kuina interrupted Zoro coldly, who was still insisting

"I...I will definitely defeat you next time!" Zoro said angrily with a red face.

"Humph, wait until you defeat me before you teach me a lesson."Guina said lightly, and then walked towards Rogge.

"And you, don't act like you've beaten me. Like I said, your swordsmanship is so bad that it's unbearable to look at."

"……"

I provoke you, and you want to tell me about my pain again?! Rogge thought speechlessly

"I see. Then what else do you want to know about the Devil Fruit?" Roger asked directly to the point.

"Let's go"

"？"Luo���Looking at Kuina with doubt

"Let's go back to the dojo, and I'll treat you to tea as a reward." Kuina said, not wanting to owe anyone a favor.

"No, let's talk about it here."Rogge didn't understand, but was anxious to deal with Kuina looking for her master to discuss kendo.

"Let's go." Kuina seemed to have not heard Rogge's opinion at all, and urged strongly.

"……"

"Zoro, do you want to go with me?" Roger turned to Zoro who was still sulking and asked

"I can't do it. I plan to train for a few more hours. I must defeat Kuina!" He ran away, taking Rogge's real sword with him.

"……"Roger suspected that Zoro had set his eyes on his sword

"Then let's go." Helpless, Roger finally followed Kuina towards the gym.
