Pirate's Ultimate Swordsman

After the duel, life gradually fell into calm, and every day was nothing more than practicing swordsmanship, eating and sleeping.

Four days have passed. In addition to practicing the basics of swordsmanship to proficiency, Pered also learned the Iai Slash from Koushiro.

The Ten Styles of Iai Cutting does not mean there are ten moves, but rather the contingency methods you need to do when facing ten kinds of crisis situations.

Perhaps because of different styles of swordsmanship, people have evolved Iaizan into multiple schools, but no matter which school it is, it will not change its characteristic of killing with one strike.

After the last duel, Zoro has regarded Pered as the number one challenger. He challenged him nearly dozens of times in four days, but was easily defeated every time.

What shocked Pered was that Sauron had a strong ability to understand and became stronger after each challenge. His swordsmanship was fierce and domineering, and he also had strong suppressive power.

"He is worthy of being the best swordsman in the future world. If this continues, Zoro will soon surpass Kuina."

You are afraid of people who are more talented than you and work harder. Pered feels that Zoro is more talented than Kuina, and he understands that he can quickly become stronger by challenging Pered.

Although Perede is not a true swordsman genius, he admires the true swordsmanship genius.

The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, with a few thin white clouds floating slowly in the wind as if they had been melted by the sun.

Pered was comprehending the Iai Slash that he had just started, when he suddenly noticed someone hiding behind a pillar and peeking at him.

After the peeper was discovered, he quickly shrank.

Pered smiled knowingly, "Guina, come out quickly, peeking is not what a swordsman should do."

Guina gritted her teeth and walked out shyly, lowering her head and saying nothing.

The two were silent for a while.

Pered touched his chin, and he probably understood what Guina wanted to do.

It was nothing more than seeing Sauron's rapid growth in strength by challenging her, and she was anxious and wanted to become stronger like this, but due to the relationship between the two parties, she had no face to speak.

"Are you here to drive me away?" Pered smiled.

Guina quickly waved her hand, "No, I...I..."

Pered interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense, let me test how much stronger you have become!"

Guina quickly focused her attention, and the two of them drew their swords and faced each other, and they immediately fought together. For a moment, sand and rocks were flying, and cold light was splashing everywhere.

The battle lasted about 15 minutes, and Perede fought at a normal speed, because Guina's fighting skills are worth learning, and she can gain practical experience from her.

Finally, the knife in Guina's hand came out, and she lay on the ground covered in sweat and panting. Pered also felt a little tired and leaned against the pillar to rest.

"Why are you so nice to Zoro and me? Wouldn't it be better to give a guy like me a good lesson?" Kuina looked complicated.

"Haha, you and Zoro are both cute children in my eyes, and you haven't made any big mistakes. How can I be willing to beat you up?"

Guina looked embarrassed. Pered's words were exactly like an adult speaking to a child, but this guy looked younger than her, so how could he be so old-fashioned?

"Boys are really much better than girls. In the past, Zoro made rapid progress in a short period of time, and now there is a monster like you." Kuina said melancholy.

In fact, Koushiro's words are not unreasonable. Looking at the entire world, the strongest combat power is mainly composed of men, but of course Perede cannot say that. 35xs

Think about it.

"Have you ever known anything beyond the East China Sea?"

Kuina was stunned, "Beyond the East China Sea are the West Sea, North Sea, and South China Sea." She was a little confused. Koushiro didn't seem to have told her any more profound knowledge.

Pered shook his head, "There is a route in this world called the Great Route. The real masters gather there, including the world's best swordsman!"

Listening to Pered's detailed description of the Grand Route, Guina's eyes were filled with brilliance.

"Yonko Shanks, it turns out there is such a strong man. His swordsmanship is on par with the world's best swordsman." Kuina sighed.

"Not only that, there is a woman among the four emperors who is also good at using a sword. She can split the sea with one sword. The reward is as high as billions."

Kuina was obviously interested when she heard that it was a female swordsman and one of the Four Emperors. Upon seeing this, Perede started talking more.

"So, what my father said is wrong. There is such a powerful woman, no worse than a boy."

"Whether it's right or wrong, if a dream is crushed by someone else's words, then it's not a dream, it's just a moment of enthusiasm. How many people who chase dreams would rather die than give up even if they know they will fall." Pered said.

At this moment, Zoro jumped out of nowhere and pointed at Kuina.

"Brother Pered is right. Your dream and mine are both to be the world's best swordsman, so who cares about male and female? I will keep pursuing my dream! Even if I die, it doesn't matter! What about you?"

Kuina clenched her fists, stood up and looked at Zoro, her eyes red.

"Me too!"

"Okay, let's start my 1998th challenge now!"

On the roof, Koushiro smiled and shed two lines of tears. He felt that he had failed as a father. Not only did he not give his daughter enough motivation, he also hurt her fighting spirit by talking nonsense.

But now that Kuina has the encouragement of like-minded companions like Pered and Sauron, she must be even more determined to pursue her dream.

...

Half a month passed in a hurry, and Pered had grown a lot taller, already on the same level as Guina, and had the beginnings of muscles all over his body.

He had a deeper understanding of the way of the sword.

But lately I have been feeling a dull pain in my chest, and I have nightmares while sleeping, as if something bad is about to happen. This is not a pure guess, but a strong premonition.

Heavy rain poured down in the dark night, and the entire Isshin Dojo fell into deathly silence.

Koushiro, the owner of Isshin Dojo, turned off the lights early and went to sleep. Before going to bed, he specifically told Pered and the others not to wake him up.

Everyone was puzzled, because even if no one would disturb his sleep normally, they didn't understand why he reminded them specifically today.

The heavy rain fell more rapidly, and there was sudden movement in the Isshin Dojo.

Kuina looked at the knife in her hand in annoyance. This knife was named Wado Ichimonji. It was very precious. It had just been taken out of the warehouse during the day. Unfortunately, it had been in silence for too long and had become dull.

She turned her attention to the warehouse and wanted to enter the warehouse to get the whetstone. She had to pass Koshiro's door, but the floor was carpeted and the sound of walking was very quiet.

Kuina opened the door and entered, passing Koushiro's door. She looked into the crack in the door and found that her father was sleeping soundly.

I tiptoed to the warehouse and wanted to reach for the whetstone placed high up. Unfortunately, I was not tall enough. Fortunately, I found a ladder nearby.

After setting up the ladder, Kuina climbed up and hugged the whetstone. At this time, a low roar came from Koushiro's room outside.

She was startled by the sudden sound, and the sole of her foot seemed to have slipped. She stepped on the air and fell from the height to the ground!

In panic, Guina thought she was going to have close contact with the hard floor, but that didn't happen. Instead, she was firmly caught in a generous embrace.

"Pered...thank you." Guina was still frightened.

Pered looked at her strangely, remembering that in the original novel, Guina seemed to have fallen to death on a whetstone. He thought that his arrival disrupted the rhythm and that Guina could avoid death. It seemed that this was not what he thought. Simple.

The whetstone also fell to the floor with a loud bang!

Guina stood up and was about to say something, but suddenly she stared behind Pered and called her father.

Pered turned around and saw Koushiro looking at the two of them with a smile on his face. What was different from usual was that Koushiro's eyes were much wider than usual, and these eyes were not gentle, but also had some kind of desire.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Koushiro waved to Kuina.

"Come here quickly."

Guina hesitated for a moment, but without thinking much, she walked towards her father.

"Wait a moment!"

Of course, Perede is not stupid. He has noticed something is wrong a long time ago. Unless the same person has a split personality, there must be something wrong with such a big change in temperament.
