The sword of the pirate is like a dream

Chapter 164 The Legendary Riddler

When they returned to the Tempest II, Mikita was alone on the deck.

Seeing Io and Kuina jumping from the island to the deck, she was surprised, and then, as if remembering something, hurriedly ran into the kitchen to pour tea for them.

Since Io fell directly from midair to the island, and the distance was a little far away, I deliberately controlled the movement. Even Mikita, who had been on the deck, didn't notice until she saw them, and she was concentrating on doing her own things in the cabin. Not to mention the two Nami Lilixi who were involved.

There were chairs on the deck all the time, and Io pulled one and sat down, "I didn't have time to say it when I was in Rogge Town, but now it's just right—welcome back, Kuina."

Kuina smiled and sat down opposite him, "Captain, your welcome ceremony is a bit special..."

"Accident, accident."

Ai Ou tore off the glued beard, took off the plain mirror, and told her the cause and effect, including what happened yesterday.

"So, that Miss Mikita is also a member of the ship?"

Kuina pondered, "Then should I call her senior?"

Ai Ou glanced at her unexpectedly. After returning from this trip, Kuina's personality seemed to have changed a little, feeling... more cheerful?
Just at this moment, Mikita came out with tea, and she was a little cautious in her actions, and she didn't know whether it was because of Io or Kuina.

When she put down her tea and was about to leave, Ao called her: "Mikita, do you want to stay on my boat?"

Mikita froze for a moment, and immediately nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Well, this is your senior Kuina, she is on the ship..." Ao said, turning to look at Kuina, "Guina, what do you want to be?"

Kuina was already thinking about how to say hello to Mikita, but when she heard Io's words, she couldn't help thinking, "Common crew...combatants...I don't know anything else, just combatants."

Kuina made up her mind, and immediately began to introduce herself: "I am... Wait a minute, Captain, shall we be called the Storm II?"

Ai Ou really wanted to answer her yes, but considering the image, he still replied: "The name of the team will be discussed when we have a chance. Let's use the name of the ship for now."

"Alright then, I'm Kuina, the tentative combatant of the Storm II bracket. Nice to meet you, Mikita."

Wait, what the hell is the "bracket tentative" in your introduction!Give me a little more serious ah hello!
Mikita was a little excited at this time, her face flushed faintly, she stood at attention and bowed, and said loudly: "Yes! Senior Kuina, I am on board the Storm II..."

She suddenly got stuck, and Ai Ou hurriedly said: "Apprentice crew."

"...Michita, a trainee crew member! Please give me your advice, senior!"

A set of ceremonial meeting ceremony was completed, and the two new crew members were in agitated mood, and the captain Aiou was also relieved to see it by the side.

A ready-made combat power, a combat power to be developed, and two logistics invisible combat power can be regarded as building a small team.

By the way, Ao pointed to Mikita the big bag he brought back: "I brought your clothes back when I went to Rogue Town today."

Mikita was still immersed in joy, and when she heard this, she was immediately surrounded by greater joy, and bowed to Io: "Thank you, Captain!"

Ai Ou is really a little curious about how this guy lived before, why he always bows all the time.

He looked at Mikita who opened the package over there, exuding happiness all over her body, and decided to wait until tomorrow to tell her that the other package contained props that would be unforgettable for her life, let her be happy for a day first.

Guina took a sip of tea and asked, "When are we leaving?"

"Is the great route? No hurry, let's go tomorrow, you should take a rest first." Ai Ou picked up the teacup, "It's you, how is your trip home?"

Since Kuina took the initiative to ask about the great route, and with the episode just now, Aiou didn't need to worry that she would say something like "my family doesn't allow it", so I took the initiative to ask.

"Go home..." Kuina rested her chin, "Speaking of which, this is the first time in my memory to take a good look at Frost Moon Village. Well, Frost Moon Village is where my father lives now, but according to me Observe that it should not be our hometown."

"I told the captain before that I learned swordsmanship from my master after I was 11 years old, right? In fact, that is almost the initial starting point of my current memory. I have no impression of the memory before the age of 11."

"In the beginning, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was my lord father. After only staying at home in Shuangyue Village for two days, my lord father took me out to sea and sent me to study under my lord master."

"Although I wrote a letter back home to my father, my father always urged me to study hard and didn't say anything about himself."

As she spoke, she dipped her finger in the tea and began to draw stick figures on the table: "Captain, do you know? It turns out that our family runs a dojo, teaching others swordsmanship, and there are a lot of children."

"This time when I went home and saw my father, I realized that his swordsmanship is not weak. When I told him about Lord Amakusa and Lord Master, he didn't tell me anything. He only said that I would know when I should know. ..."

...This is the legendary Riddler?
Ai Ou took a sip of tea silently, but Kuina's tone didn't seem to complain, just a simple statement.

"By the way, I told him about the captain, guess what he said?"

What else would the Riddler say... Subconsciously thinking this way, Aiou cooperated with Guina: "How did you say it?"

"He asked me to chase my dreams." Guina felt helpless, "But I don't even know what dreams I have. If I insist, is living freely a dream?"

"I don't have a dream, but I have a short-term goal, to become the world's number one swordsman." Ai Ou said, "Isn't it too general to live freely?"

"The number one swordsman in the world..." Kuina held her chin, "But this is what my father expects from me..."

"Which one?" She spoke vaguely, and Ai Ou couldn't understand, "The number one swordsman in the world? Or live freely?"

"Freedom, what he said when we parted from my father, ten years ago, and this time also, he said he hoped that I could live freely."

"Isn't it wrong to take other people's expectations as dreams?" Ai Ou said, "Although it is your father, if you are bound by his phrase 'live freely', then no matter what Can't you really live freely?"

After hearing these words, Kuina suddenly looked at Ai Ou firmly:

"Captain, you are right, I see."

　I can only say that I understand everything I understand, and I don’t understand... Oh, it’s a play, Baiteman don’t come to arrest me.
