One Piece: My Spirit

Because of the incident of 'Thunderstorm', both Shire and Kuina forgot about going to the practice field, and they didn't know about it in the end.

After deciding to go back to Frost Moon Village first, Kuina spent a day or so to deal with some of the more important matters, and then left the Corn Kingdom with Shire for Frost Moon Village.

Because the line of the 'Sea Train' did not pass through Frost Moon Village, Shire, Kuina and others all set off by boat.

"Is that your hometown, Kuina?"

Kerla looked at the outline of the island that appeared in the distance on the deck, and looked at Guina curiously.

Kuina nodded with her usual expression, but Kuina's clenched fist still betrayed Kuina's heart at this time, Kerla saw this, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Similar to Kerla are Robin and Coral, both of whom also looked curious and expectant.

"Sister Robin? Sister Robin!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

But at this time, Coral seemed to notice that something was wrong with Robin, and she seemed to be relieved after calling Robin several times.

"Sister Robin, are you okay?"

"Me? I'm fine. I'm just wondering if we should prepare some gifts for our first visit?" Robin said seriously, holding his chin.

coral:"???"

Coral didn't seem to understand the meaning of Robin's words, a gift?Why bring a gift?

"Sister Robin, from the very beginning, I felt that something was wrong with you, be normal!"

"I'm normal! So many of us suddenly come to visit, will it leave a bad impression?" Robin said to himself.

coral:"."

In this strange atmosphere, the ship finally docked and arrived at the hometown of Shire and Guina, Frost Moon Village.

After almost two years, Shire returned to Frostmoon Village again. It seems that the village has not changed much from the memory, but in fact there are some changes, such as a lot of "lights" on the roadside.

And on the way to the 'One Heart Dojo', Kuina didn't say anything all the way, both Shire and Kerla knew that Kuina was nervous.

Compared to Shire, although Kuina has always been in the East China Sea, but because of her identity as a revolutionary army and other concerns, she has never returned to the village, and has never even disclosed any information about Frost Moon Village to others.

Calculated by pinching fingers, Kuina has not returned to the village for almost 5 or 6 years. At this moment, Kuina is looking at the strange but somewhat familiar scenery around her.

The garden path leading to the monastery, the big banyan tree in front of the village that has not withered in spring and autumn, and even grows more and more lush, all of them are obviously so familiar, but Kuina feels an inexplicable tension for some reason.

"Are you feeling a little nervous?"

Suddenly Ciel's voice sounded in Guina's ear.

After being silent for a while, Kuina slowly said:
"Yeah, it's obviously just going home, and I've walked this road countless times, but this time I actually feel a little nervous and excited.

I seem to understand a little bit what you said to me the day before yesterday. "

"Maybe it's the timidity of being close to home. It's because I've been so familiar in the past that I feel nervous and afraid. I'm afraid that these once familiar things will become strange."

For some reason, after Charles finished his subconscious emotion, everyone seemed to fall silent in unison.

Among them, Robin, Monet, and Granose were particularly obvious, and Charles quickly realized that he had said something wrong!

Robin's hometown, O'Hara, has now become history, even history that has been erased. There is only Robin left on the entire island. Therefore, the word "hometown" not only carries Robin's childhood memories, but also is full of thorny nightmares.

As for Monet and Granose, Beihai is their hometown, but this word is full of tragic memories for them, and it is also the nightmare they resist and fear.

These words from Charles suddenly made the originally relaxed atmosphere seem to become heavy all of a sudden.

"Hey! It hurts!"

Suddenly, Charles felt a pain in his calf, and when he looked back, it was the puffy coral.

"Stupid Charles, let you talk nonsense! Let you talk nonsense!!"

Speaking of Coral, she raised her foot to kick Charles again, and Charles knew he was wrong, so he could only keep dodging but did not dare to fight back.

In the end, it was Robin who stopped Coral, but obviously everyone's emotions were relieved a lot because of the fight between Charles and Coral, but they were still somewhat depressed.

Soon the path in the garden came to an end, and in front of it was a dojo, with the word 'one heart' written on the door plaque.

Kuina stood motionless, looking at the yellowed and slightly dilapidated walls, the grass desperately growing in the cracks of the walls, and there were a few orderly and abrupt shouts from the dojo.

"It doesn't seem to have changed."

Kuina muttered to herself, and then stepped into the dojo first, followed closely by Ciel and Mary Luli who finally broke free from the clutches of Sugar.

In the dojo, a group of teenagers of different ages wielded bamboo swords that were sometimes neat and sometimes scattered. In the front of the group of teenagers who were practicing swinging their swords and raising their feet, a man wearing a pair of round glasses narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of children practicing swords, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

The sudden intrusion of Guyna, Charles and others quickly interrupted everyone's practice, and many of the teenagers who were more than a year ago have recognized Charles in front of them, and their faces showed excitement and joy.

But they are completely unfamiliar with Kuina, and there are only a few teenagers who have studied in the dojo since they were young, and vaguely recognized Kuina's identity.

Koshiro stood up slowly, with the familiar gentle smile on his face: "Welcome home, Kuina."

For some reason, the words of just a few words seemed to have a kind of magical power, which made Guina suddenly feel a sore nose, and her mood was even more ups and downs than ever before.

Kuina clenched her fists tightly, resisting the tears that seemed to burst out of her eyes at any time, and shouted the words that should have been very easy to blurt out in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Father."

Suddenly, when Kuina saw Koshiro's white temples, she froze in place, feeling familiar yet strange at the same time.

Guina stared blankly at the father in front of her, as if she was a little different from the father in her memory, as if her father had grown old in an instant.
