Pirate: I'm Luffy's uncle

an island in the east sea

Shuangyue Village, Yixin Dojo

"Are you okay, Koushiro? I heard Dorag said that your daughter..."

Ivankov was chatting with the master of the dojo named Shigetsuki Koushiro in the dojo.

"Ah, it happened not long ago. The life of Guina, the child, is really miserable..."

Koushiro said with a sad face and a low tone.

"Sorry, with my medical skills, I haven't found a way to cure her...

Recently, we have added a new kid who has eaten the fruits of surgery. If we can wait until his medical skills get better, maybe we can find a way to solve Kuina's illness..."

Ivankov said apologetically.

Judging from their conversation, it seems that the two have known each other a long time ago.

"I can't blame you. I've been to so many doctors but can't cure that child's disease...

The only chance of survival is to build up a body strong enough to resist the disease before it strikes.

However, even that would only allow her to live a few more years...

To achieve that kind of physique, even those with extraordinary talents need more than ten years of continuous practice.

What's more, she is still a girl. To reach that level is just as difficult as reaching the sky...

Seeing her working hard every day to survive makes me heartbroken.

I feel so ashamed, why as her father, there is nothing I can do to help her, I can only watch her being devoured by the disease step by step!

Seeing her working so hard every day, I even persuaded her to give up. Thinking about it now, I am really an unforgivable sin!

I just wanted to let her spend her childhood peacefully, but I didn't think about her feelings!

She is just a child who is constantly struggling to see the sun tomorrow!

I am really a selfish father..."

As Koushiro talked, he recalled his daughter's appearance, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"Koshiro..." Seeing him sobbing, Ivankov felt extremely regretful.

I shouldn't have mentioned Kuina too much. Isn't this clearly exposing the scars in her heart?

But now that the matter was over, she could only stay silently beside the father who had lost his daughter, without saying a word.

Koushiro eased his sadness, wiped away his tears, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said calmly:

"I made you laugh...don't talk about this anymore, it's already over...

My mistake has been made, and if I act pretentiously now, it just makes me appear hypocritical..."

"Don't say that, I know you are the one who suffers the most...

Without further ado, thank you first for helping us prepare food. When the food is ready, we should leave here. "

Ivankov abruptly changed the subject.

"Haha, these are just small things. Although I am not one of you, I have full respect for your ideals and ambitions.

I will be here waiting for news of your success..."

Koushiro smiled softly and chatted with Ivankov about the revolutionary army.

The two of them acted as if nothing had been mentioned about the matter just now, and they chatted with each other about each other's views on the future of the revolutionary army.

As they chatted, the two inevitably talked about Dorag, the leader of the revolutionary army.

"By the way, speaking of which, why didn't I see Dorag today?" Koushiro asked with some confusion.

"He, I heard he is waiting for someone to come over, I don't know very well...

It’s mysterious, and I won’t say who I’m waiting for…”

Only Dorag knows Tiger's identity, and no one even knows the cadres who follow him.

Except for Crow, who is the commander of the Northern Army, who has met Tiger, Luo is the only one in the Revolutionary Army who knows that Tiger has a relationship with the Revolutionary Army.

However, they only knew Tiger, but they didn't know that he was an undercover revolutionary in the navy.

"Is that so? This person you don't even know seems to be no ordinary person..."

Koushiro was also a little surprised. Ivankov was the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army, and there was something that even she didn't know about.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Dorag has always been like this. He should be a person who is inconvenient for his identity to be exposed.

After all, he has always been prudent in doing things. If the time comes that I should know, he will tell me himself. "

It's not that Ivankov had any objection to Dorag hiding her, it was just a casual comment between friends.

While the two were chatting, a child with green hair returned to the dojo from outside.

"I'm back, Master."

The boy with short green hair was soaked in sweat and held three wooden knives in his hands.

Judging from his appearance, he must have been practicing outside for a long time and just came back now.

"Oh, you're back, Zoro. Are you going to practice swordsmanship by yourself again?"

It was obviously not the first time Koushiro saw him like this, so he asked knowingly.

The child known as Zoro had a serious look on his face, as if he was suppressing something in his heart.

As he walked towards the training ground behind the dojo, he said to Koushiro:

"Yes, master. I have to do strength training next, so I won't tell you about it yet."

Ivankov saw Sauron for the first time. Looking at his leaving back, he asked curiously: "Who is this kid?"

"He is my disciple, named Roronoa Zoro. He came to my dojo two years ago and now lives with me."

"I see, he is such a hard-working kid! I think his aura is much stronger than that of ordinary kids."

Koushiro also looked at Zoro's back with a smile and explained to Ivankov:

"You are right, this child has been second only to Kuina since he first came to the dojo.

Since Kuina passed away due to illness, he has worked harder and harder to fulfill the agreement he made with her - to become the world's best swordsman!

However, neither she nor I told Zoro about Kuina's illness, and he was completely unaware of it.

On the day of her death, she fell down the stairs due to a sudden illness.

Therefore, Zoro always thought that Kuina died because she fell down the stairs...

From then on, he began to improve himself in an almost masochistic way. No matter what I tried to persuade him, he would not listen...

Maybe this is the bond between the two children. I can only prepare a medicinal bath for him after training to alleviate the damage he caused to his body. "

Ivankov did not expect such a story, and couldn't help but sigh:

"What a great young man! His future achievements may not reach the level of number one in the world, but they will definitely not be bad!"
