Pirate's Path of Destiny

A tavern in an unknown town in the East China Sea.

Although it was daytime outside, because the lights inside the tavern were dim and there were no light-transmitting windows, it was always like night here.

The space inside the tavern is very small and crowded with pirates who are drinking and indulging.They are all crew members of the Rose Pirates, and they just made a big deal not long ago.

Having gained a lot, they chose to squander the Bailey they just got here, drinking and partying day and night, and no one in the town dared to disturb them.

Snapped

Suddenly, the door of the tavern was violently opened, and dazzling light shone in from outside, forcing the pirates sitting at the door to close their eyes.

"Asshole, didn't you see that this uncle is drinking?"

"Who is this guy without eyes? I must make him look good."

The intruder turned a deaf ear to the complaints of several pirates around him, and just looked around the tavern impatiently.Finally he saw his target on the bar in the distance and ran over quickly.

"Captain Captain has a new wanted poster"

The woman who was lying on the bar and seemed to be asleep slowly raised her head when she heard someone shouting.He rubbed his eyes sleepily, as if he didn't know what happened.

"What's wrong, my dear Vice-Captain, would you like to come and have a drink with me?"

Seeing that the person coming was the vice-captain, Anne's eyes changed from doubtful to charming, and she spoke some thought-provoking words in a somewhat squeamish voice.

The drunken pirates at the door saw the appearance of the incoming man clearly, and they all shivered in fear.

Thinking of their arrogant scolding just now, each of them desperately covered their mouths to keep quiet, fearing that their vice-captain would come to deal with them after finding out.

However, the vice-captain did not turn around and teach them a lesson as they thought, nor did he accept Captain Anne's invitation. Instead, he solemnly handed over a wanted notice.

"Captain, you must take a look"

Anne was a little annoyed that the vice captain did not accept her invitation, but after seeing the other party's serious look, she still picked up the wanted notice and read it.

When Anne glanced at the 3000 million beli bounty on the wanted poster, she angrily crumpled the wanted notice in her hand and threw it on the ground.

"You idiots, stop drinking and get up quickly, Vice Captain, is the ship ready?"

"Yes, the captain is ready to sail at any time."

"Then hurry up and set off. I want to see who dares to challenge my position as the number one pirate in the East China Sea, Annie."

......

After Will saluted Koushiro, he revealed his decision to go to sea with Gino.

Koushiro acted very calmly, as if he had expected this scene. He just nodded slightly to show that he understood.

But Guina, who was sitting on her knees, was not like her father. No one had told her about this beforehand.

She originally thought that after Will was injured this time, he would stay peacefully at the Dojo for a while, but she didn't expect that he and Gino would be heading out to sea in a hurry just as the injury was healed.

"why"

Guina couldn't help but ask. Although her voice was still so cold, she could still hear a hint of impatience mixed in it.

"Actually, Gino and I were planning to become pirates, but due to lack of strength, we stayed in the dojo to study.

Now that he can probably go out to sea and make a living, he can't calm down and slowly practice kendo. But this way, he will not be able to inherit the dojo according to his master's wish.

Please forgive me"

For the first time, Will knelt down in front of Koushiro and bowed as a disciple.This surprising move even made Koushiro, who was usually calm, a little moved.

Seeing Will like this, Guina was a little speechless and could only watch Will and Jino say goodbye to their father and leave the back room.

Back in her room, Guina felt a little empty in her heart. The person who made him see how vast the outside world was was about to leave.

And where will she go? Will she stay in this dojo forever? Kuina has no answer in her heart.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Guina, it was actually not easy to speak at your father's place just now. Can I go in and talk to you?"

Guina, who was a little secretly sad, instantly adjusted her expression, regained her usual aloofness, and slowly opened the door.

"Aren't you going to go to sea? Why did you come here to find me?"

Facing Guina’s daily sarcasm, Will explained with a wry smile:

"It's like this. In fact, Gino and I are planning to form a pirate group. Although we haven't decided on a name yet, we still want to come over and talk to you."

"What are you talking to me about? I'm not from your pirate group."

"Because of this, Kuina, I sincerely invite you to join our pirate group. Are you interested?"

Suddenly Will sent out an invitation to Guina, which surprised Guina.

"But, I'm only 10 years old, and I'm much weaker than you..."

"No, actually, both Jino and I are very optimistic about your future. I have never seen a female swordsman as talented as you."

Facing Will's words, Guina seriously thought about the future for the first time.After a long time, Kuina finally spoke:

"Sorry, I still can't join you."

Will was stunned and speechless. He always thought that after such a long time and experiencing many things together, Guina would happily agree to him. The sudden rejection caught him off guard.

Seeing Will's surprised look, Guina gave a rare chuckle and laughed.

"It's not what you think, it's just that I feel that I am not strong enough to join you. If I follow you, I will inevitably become a burden.

Will, I hope you can give me one year, and I will challenge you again after one year. By then, if there is still room on your ship, let me join. "

This time it was Will's turn to not react. Guina solemnly reached a one-year agreement with him, which made him sigh with emotion. It turned out that she had grown up a lot without knowing it.

After leaving the dojo, Will bowed deeply toward the door and then walked down the mountain.

When he returned to the familiar courtyard, he found that Jino was locking the courtyard door and had already finished the ceremony.

Seeing that Will was alone, Kino asked puzzledly why Guina didn't come with him. Will shook his head gently and slowly told Kino about the one-year appointment.

"I didn't expect that when we came a year ago, it was just the two of us. When we left, it was still just the two of us. Please give me your advice in the future."

Will and Gino exchanged fists in tacit understanding and walked toward the sunset together.
