Pirate: I, Roger's son, nine-year-old admiral!

Zoro was quite excited today.

Since I left home, I have played in countless swordsmanship gyms, and just yesterday, the guy I defeated easily was lying on the ground panting, and said to myself with ten thousand dissatisfactions:

"You kid, don't be arrogant. Even if you are strong, you are still far behind Kuina from Isshin Gym!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro became excited. He quickly asked the man for the address of the gym, and then immediately embarked on the journey.

After two days of hard work, I finally saw the shadow of Isshin Gym in the distance on the beach.

Finally arrived!

I heard that there is a very strong swordsman here named Kuina.

I'm really looking forward to having a fight with him soon...

Without further ado, Zoro immediately walked towards the small gymnasium in sight. However, just as he was about to set off, his ears twitched.

His intuition told him that at this moment, there was an extra person on the originally empty road behind him.

The person who came was not tall or heavy. He was probably a child. But for some reason, Zoro felt that he suddenly appeared behind him.

Has this guy been following me all this time?

Zoro didn't bother to look back. He was a little afraid of alerting the enemy. Although he didn't know what this guy's purpose was, since he had already discovered it, even if he wanted to attack him, he had no chance.

Thinking this, Zoro unconsciously quickened his pace.

As soon as Zoro hurried, the guy following him also quickened his pace.

This guy...

Zoro was a little annoyed by this stalking boy, so he gritted his teeth and slowed down again.

This time, the guy behind him also slowed down.

Damn it!

Zoro was so annoyed that he simply ran away.

As expected, the person behind also started running.

Humph, you must have been tricked.

Zoro thought bitterly, I want to see how long you can run!

In terms of physical strength, even those gym leaders are not as good as me!

Just wait until I get tired and lie down!

Zoro ran faster and faster, but what surprised him was that the guy behind him still maintained the original distance steadily, without changing at all!

As fast as you run, he will run as fast!

Even if he sprinted with all his strength, he could still keep up steadily without any feeling of reluctance!

This guy! Who is he?

"Aren't you bothered? Keep following me!"

Finally, Zoro couldn't bear it anymore, stopped, turned around and yelled behind him.

When he turned around, he saw a handsome young man standing a few meters behind him, looking at him with an innocent face.

It's Igo!

"What are you talking about? I'm here to challenge the gym..." Ige pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"You're talking nonsense, you've been following me all this time!" Zoro didn't believe what he said, pointing at Ige's nose and yelled.

"Because I don't know where the gym is. You seem to be from the gym, and I'm embarrassed to talk to you...so I can only follow you. I'm sorry..." Iger's eyes

In a blink of an eye, I came up with a reason that sounded quite reasonable.

"Hey, I'm not from the gym, I'm here to challenge you too!" Zoro crossed his arms and pouted, "The gym is over there, you can go there by yourself, don't follow me."

Sauron said, pointing with his hand, he saw a pointed roof in the distance.

Only then did Ige know that Zoro was not yet a disciple of Yishin Gym.

Since he hasn't challenged the gym yet, that means he hasn't been baptized by Kuina yet.

In other words, Kuina is still alive.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, when it comes to Kuina, Igor feels it's a pity that such a genius of swordsmanship, who brutalized Zoro countless times, actually fell down the stairs and died like that!

Old thief Oda is so bad!

Zoro has countless reasons for wanting to become stronger, and there is absolutely no need to kill Kuina!

"Eh? What a coincidence! Are you here to challenge too?" Iger put on a happy expression and stepped forward to hold Zoro's arm. "Since we are all here to challenge, let's go together!"

After saying that, regardless of Zoro's resistance, he dragged him towards the gym.

One Heart Gym.

The blazing sunshine at noon shone down from above, illuminating the sweat beads of the disciples in the dojo.

At this moment, in the open space in front of the small dilapidated wooden house of Yixin Gym, there were three rows and five rows of children, each holding a wooden sword, following the figure of a girl at the front of the crowd, waving it hard.

Under the eaves of the wooden house, there was a man with long hair, glasses, a swordsman's costume, and wooden clogs. He was sitting cross-legged and smiling at the disciples not far away who were training hard.

This man is none other than the leader of the Isshin Gym, Shigetsuki Koushiro!

And the girl figure at the front of the disciples is his daughter, Kuina!

Koushiro estimated the time, looked up at the sun, then nodded, clapped his hands and shouted to his disciples:

"Okay kids, that's it for this morning's training! Have a rest, we'll be ready for dinner later!"

Just as Koushiro finished speaking, the postures put up by the disciples not far away suddenly collapsed. Each one of them sighed deeply, wiped the sweat from their faces, and then collapsed on the ground.

Damn it, kendo training is really exhausting!

Everyone put on a bitter look and complained about how hard today's training was, and what they were going to eat later.

In front of everyone, Kuina formed a sharp contrast with everyone.

She slowly put away the wooden sword, but her posture did not relax at all. She slowly withdrew the consciousness that was spreading in the air, and then her body relaxed as if a ritual had ended.

The disciples behind him couldn't help but admire Guina's elegant posture.

"Oh! Kuina is really strong!"

"Yes! As expected of Master Koushiro's daughter!"

"We are all as tired as dead dogs, but she can still calm down so easily..."

"..."

Listening to the chirping praises of her junior brothers, Kuina's face was filled with emotion, as if they were not praising her at all.

She turned around, glanced around at the junior brothers who were lying on the ground, and said in a cold voice:

"Okay, stop being poor and eat quickly."

After saying that, regardless of the reactions of his juniors, he turned around and walked towards the gymnasium.

All the disciples also stood up and prepared to return to the dojo.

At this moment, a shout came from the path in the distance:

"Who is Kuina! Come and fight with me Zoro!"
