Pirate of Darkness

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

This seemingly ordinary and extraordinary village.

Yearning for the sea is not a special case of Kozuki Oden. Decades ago, the famous swordsman and swordsman Shigetsuki Kozaburo of Wano went to sea with a group of samurai.

As a pirate, he roamed the sea and fought against foreign enemies. Later, he came to an island in the East China Sea, defeated the local bandits, abandoned his identity as a pirate, lived in seclusion here, taught the local villagers swordsmanship, and established Shuangyue Village.

In the Isshin Dojo, people were surrounding each other in a circle, and in the center was a fierce battle. The swords were swung at such a speed that it was difficult for ordinary people to see clearly.

This has become normal. There is basically such a battle every day. Both children have strength that far exceeds that of students and even adults.

Finally, under the girl's powerful offensive, the boy showed a flaw, felt the powerful force, and a wooden knife came out of his hand and was knocked away.

The next moment, a knife stayed near the boy's neck.

"I lost again." Zoro said a little unwillingly, but he did not give up his fighting spirit and was determined to strengthen his training and win again next time.

Guina on the opposite side withdrew the wooden knife and gasped slightly.

The students around looked at Guina in amazement, "Senior Sister Guina seems to be stronger. She attacked so fiercely that Zoro didn't even react."

"Yes, Kuina's progress is very fast. It seems that it will not be easy for Sauron to catch up."

Zoro is desperately chasing, and Kuina is constantly getting stronger.

History has changed, and Guina has gained a lot of confidence. The spread of images and the spread of six styles have a greater impact on this corner of the East China Sea.

Especially the increase in knowledge.

There are so many powerful swordsmen in this sea, and the upper limit of swordsmen is actually so powerful.

The sword competition held many years ago is still watched by countless people. Powerful swordsmen who are on top of the world gather together to start a fierce battle.

Just being able to experience various kendos is a huge wealth.

therefore,

There are more people practicing swordsmanship, and the number of swordsmen on the sea has also increased significantly.

Kuina has amazing swordsmanship qualifications. In the past, she might have felt inferior because her physical limitations were not as good as those of men. Faced with the huge pressure brought by Zoro's continuous improvement to catch up with her, she no longer does.

Her goal has never changed, to become the world's greatest swordsman.

The spirit of reluctance in her bones makes her work harder to exercise, and through the six-style exercise method, she strengthens the development of her body and strengthens her body.

In the forest behind, Kuina hugged her knees and stared intently at the battle in the video.

The figure of the battle is the target that gives her hope and endless motivation.

That was Esdeath, who had entered the upper echelons of the battle pyramid as a woman. She was only four years older than her, but she possessed extraordinary strength and was a powerful swordsman.

Kuina started to pay attention to Esdeath very early. When Esdeath started to make a name for herself, she would not miss a battle, no matter it was day or night.

She sees Esdeath's efforts, especially the improvement in strength. Regardless of victory or defeat, she will eventually return stronger.

It is precisely because of role models like Esdeath that Guina trains harder, harder, more motivated, less anxious, and more able to devote herself to training without any distractions.

Therefore, whether it is physical improvement or improvement in swordsmanship, with the teachings of Koushiro, the great swordsman, Kuina has an extremely solid foundation in swordsmanship.

Her father's words didn't hurt her, they only made her want to prove herself even more.

The battle in the video was over, and Guina also started training. She held a heavy knife in her hand, looked forward, and swung the knife again and again, focusing on it wholeheartedly.

In addition, she has also made up her mind that she does not want to stay in Shuangyue Village any longer. She needs more pressure to go to a place where she can better improve her strength.

That is the battle pyramid. Rely on your own strength to climb from the bottom of the battle pyramid to the top, and then go to the sea to challenge various powerful swordsmen and become the world's greatest swordsman.

Apart from his unfathomable father, the only one who can fight her in the dojo is Zoro, and what she needs is pressure, an opponent stronger than herself.

Tonight, she decided to have a showdown with her father to prove that she could do it. Women were not weaker than men, and body was never the main factor.

The vastness of the sea says it all.

The thick long sword contained her firm will, and a sword intent was attached to it.

In the distance, a middle-aged man watched this scene quietly. How could he not understand his daughter's thoughts? Time has long proven him wrong.

"Let it go, isn't that bad? Our ideas should have changed a long time ago." An old man in a kimono appeared on the side, holding a fishing rod in his hand, "This is not the country of Wano, Koushiro .”

"I understand, father." Wearing glasses, Kozaburo nodded seriously. In fact, he had already figured out why he wanted to make his daughter suffer so much.

In fact, he has not hit Kuina at the exit in these years.

The swordsmanship in Wano is basically passed on to men rather than to women. In Wano, there are basically no women practicing swordsmanship.

Yes, but too few.

Although Koushiro was born in the East China Sea, his thoughts were deeply influenced by the culture of Wano. Over the years, he had already figured it out.

Now, he is also waiting, waiting for his daughter to make up her mind to come to him. No matter what, he will not stop her and will let her go.

Only by leaving can we grow better.

On the other side, Sauron was also exercising frantically, using ropes to continuously pull boulders bigger than his body, with the determination to become stronger and win next time.

At night, after a day of exercise, Zoro fell into a deep sleep.

Guina walked alone to the outside of her father's room. The lights inside were flickering. At this time, her father had already turned off the lights and rested.

This made Guina understand that her father might already know that she was coming.

The hand knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." A familiar voice came.

Guina slowly opened the door. Her father was already kneeling in front of the small table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, facing her. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

After a while of silence, Guina knelt down in front of her father. Finally, Guina raised her head and said, "Father, I want to leave Shuangyue Village, go to the Battle Pyramid, and pursue the path of the world's greatest swordsman."

Kozaburo looked at the daughter he had raised with firm eyes, wondering what reason he had to stop her.

"Have you considered?"

"Well, take the airship to the West Sea, and then go directly to the New World through the West Sea." Kuina said without hesitation. She had already thought about this matter. It is impossible to go to the New World with her own power, but now it is more convenient. The way.

"Go ahead then."

"Huh? Father, you agreed." Guina was a little surprised. She thought her father would stop her and hit her, but she was already ready to refute.

But he didn't expect that his father would agree so lightly.

Kozaburo stood up and placed a simple katana in front of Kuina.

Kuina looked at this knife, and Dao Yimonji, one of the twenty-one large knife craftsmen, this is her father.

"Take it, this is your sword, take it and become famous together." Kozaburo looked at Kuina and smiled.

This kind of look, completely different from the previous look, with some relief and expectation, deeply touched Guina's heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.

Wipe away tears with your sleeve.

"Yes." Guina took over Hedao Yiwen, but felt extremely heavy. Her heart had never been so happy, because she could feel that she had gained her father's approval.

Maybe earlier, but she never noticed it.

"In that case, let's have a fight. This is also the last lesson I will teach you, with the word "harmony".

With that said, Koushiro stood up, picked up a knife, walked out of the house and came to the yard.

Guina held the word Hedao in both hands and looked at her father with a calm face, but she had never felt such a huge invisible oppression.

Is his father a swordsman or a great swordsman?

It doesn't matter now. Taking a deep breath, Kuina gritted her teeth and waved the knife in her hand towards her father at an extremely fast speed.

This is the real battle.

Although his body is small, he is as nimble as a cheetah and has a sharp expression, as if he regards his father as an enemy.

Showing everything she has learned, she fought against her father for the first time since she was a child.

The word "Wado" in her hand seemed to resonate with her, and Kuina could clearly feel the power contained in this famous sword.

You can also clearly understand how much a good sword can increase a swordsman's skills.

Under the night, the sword light flashed, and the sharp sword intent was much stronger than before.

…………

"Hey! Kuina, you have to leave!" A huge scream came, and Zoro's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that he had learned such shocking news when he woke up.

"Well! I'm going to the Battle Pyramid and embark on my own path of swordsmanship. Staying here won't help much in improving my strength." Guina nodded and had already packed her luggage.

"Then, what should I do?" Zoro opened his mouth blankly and couldn't help but say, he is the one who wants to defeat Kuina. With Kuina left, who else can he fight with?

"No, I want to go with you." Zoro is a man of action. He made up his mind and took action immediately.

"You don't even say anything to me about this kind of thing, it's so despicable."

He also wanted to go to the Battle Pyramid, the holy place of battle. He was also looking at the battle images inside, and his blood boiled just thinking about being able to go to such a place.

"Zoron, where are you going?"

"Go back to your room and pack your bags."

"You're going in the wrong direction."

"Eh! Sorry."

After staying in the gym for so many years, she always took the wrong path. Kuina patted her forehead helplessly. Over the years, she had long seen through Sauron's road-crazy nature.

A smile appeared on her face, so that she would have a companion and not be too lonely in such a strange place.

There, they are also rivals chasing each other.

"Father, are you going too?" Kuina and Zoro packed their luggage and saw that Koushiro was also ready.

"You think too highly of yourselves. When you cross several sea areas, you will encounter unpredictable dangers. How can you rest assured that you can go there by yourself." Koushiro is indeed a little worried about them. He is not surprised by Zoro's joining. In a year's time, what they should learn is basically the same, and their future path still depends on themselves.

At this time, other students in the dojo have already received the news that Kuina is leaving, and now there is another Zoro.

People gathered around him, both adults and children.

"Zoron, Kuina, you must make your name famous."

"We will also watch your battle."

"Don't disgrace the name of our Isshin Dojo."

Although they were a little worried about Kuina and Zoro leaving, they expressed support.

"Don't worry, our names will definitely ring through the sea, and we will definitely become the strongest swordsmen in the world." Zoro said seriously, this is what he and Kuina agreed.

"While we are away, the gym and the village will be troublesome to you." Koushiro gave some instructions and walked out of the village with Zoro and Kuina.

Because of his instructions, only the dojo knew about this matter. He didn't want too many people to know, otherwise it would be troublesome for the villagers to gather together.

Walking through the fields, greeting residents as they pass by.

There was an old man sitting on the roadside ahead, wearing a kimono and smoking a pipe.

Koushiro stopped in front of him and bowed respectfully.

"Boy, your name is Roronoa Zoro, right? If you don't have a sword of your own, take it." The old man glanced at Zoro and smiled, then waved his hand and threw a katana towards Zoro. Long.

Zoro caught it in a panic, seemingly unable to react.

This is a black tachi. Whether it is the scabbard or the handle, the blade has dark patterns, is reflective, and is very sharp. It is a good knife at first glance.

Happiness came too suddenly, and Zoro couldn't help but look at his teacher.

"Take it." Koushiro said with a slight smile.

In this way, Zoro felt at ease and looked at the old man, "Excuse me, what is the name of this knife?"

"It!" The old man couldn't help but raise his head, closed his eyes, and seemed to be reminiscing, "It's called Mara, remember to treat it well."

"Mara?" Zoro stroked the knife. This knife looked like a fine product at first glance. At least he had seen Hedao Yiwen. Zoro felt that this knife was not bad.

"Help me send this letter to that person." The old man took out a letter from his pocket. "He will help take care of these two little guys when they are in the new world."

Not long after passing the old man, Zoro couldn't help but asked, "Teacher, who is that old gentleman?" He had seen this old man many times in the village, and now he felt that this old man was not ordinary.

"He is my father Kosaburo." Kosaburo didn't hide it. Kuina didn't even know she had a grandfather.

Then, Koushiro told the history of the establishment of Shuoyue Village with Zoro and Kuina's eyes widening.

They did not expect that the village had such a connection with the country of Wano, or that they were all descendants of the Shuoyue family of Wano. The village was named after the Shuoyue family.

Many families in the village retain Wano's clothing habits.

"My father is a famous swordsmith in Wano Country. Wado Ichimonji and Kozuki Oden's sword Enma were all made by my father."

"Of course, there is also this magic weapon. You should be its first owner."

As he said that, Koushiro reminded him seriously, "Maybe my father took a fancy to a certain quality in you and that's why he handed Mara over to you."

"But Zoro, you have to remember one thing, don't use it for the time being. Like Yama, it is a demon sword with magical properties, and it is not something you can master now."

"Understood." Sauron nodded and remembered it in his heart. Right now, he couldn't feel the horror of Mora.

"Where is that letter? Who is it for? Father." Kuina was a little confused as to who would take care of them in the new world.

"That's a swordsman, you should also know." Koushiro smiled and said, "It's Mr. Genryu Shigekuni."

"What!" This news shocked them even more than the origin of Shuangyue Village. Yuanliu Zhongguo, one of the top swordsmen in the world, once shined in the sword competition.

The world's most powerful flame-style swordsman did not expect that this letter would be sent to Yuanliu Zhongguo. Zoro and Kuina could not hide their excitement. To them, this was undoubtedly a legendary figure.

"I don't know the specifics. It should be something that happened when my father was young. Mr. Yuanliu is now living in seclusion in the Dark Night Sea and maintains a relationship with the Dark Night Pirates. With his care, you will not have any accidents. In this way, we will also You can rest assured.”

"Mr. Yuanliu's two disciples are now great swordsmen. If you can get his guidance, you will definitely gain a lot."

Now, Kuina and Sauron were even more looking forward to the next journey.
