Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

Nice, I was able to successfully show off in front of Zoro, I'm so awesome.

Yun Yi felt very happy. As one of the most popular characters in the pirate world, Zoro's status was sometimes even higher than Luffy's.

For Yun Yi, being able to show off in front of such a god is no less important than crushing Bolt in a 100-meter race.

"Swordsmen are also divided into different levels. With your current strength..."

"Emmmm, I can only say that I am new to kendo."

"I seem to have heard this before." After saying this, Sauron turned his gaze to Yun Yi again.

"Can you teach me that move just now?"

Sword Qi? To be honest, Yun Yi didn't know the specific principle. It was just because of the passive control of sword Qi provided by Li Xin that he could just chop it out at random.

"Ahem, you need to figure this out on your own. When you have the strength, you can do it easily if you want."

There was no other way. In order to prevent the prestige he had just erected from collapsing, Yun Yi had to continue pretending to be a charlatan.

"Also, don't think this thing is that powerful. To some people, it's just an ordinary attack."

"Normal attack?" Zoro asked puzzledly.

"It's just a casual attack. When you reach a certain level in the future, you will naturally understand."

"Oh." Zoro nodded secretly, and the desire to undergo devilish training became more urgent.

You couldn't even beat a girl like Kuina in the dojo, and now you're defeated by such a young kid. Zoro, Zoro, you still have a long way to go in your training.

"Hey, Zoro, can you take me to a dojo? I want to challenge a strong man."

"Challenging the opponent?" Zoro was surprised. Why did this scene seem familiar?

“Not really, I just want to find someone to spar with.” Yun Yi touched his head innocently, not showing the airs of a master at all.

"Then come here." After saying that, Zoro took Yun Yi and walked towards Shimotsuki Koshiro's dojo.

……

"Hey, Zoro, the dojo you mentioned, is it located on a mountain?"

"On the mountain? Aren't we always going down the mountain?"

"..." Yun Yi was speechless. It turned out that this guy Zoro had a poor sense of direction since he was a child.

"Forget it, just come with me."

Yun Yi transformed into a crane again, clamped Zoro's shoulders with his sharp claws, and flew into the sky.

Zoro was also frightened by this sudden change. However, as he watched the woods shrinking and the buildings gradually appearing in the distance, Zoro gradually became excited.

Alas, he is only a 9-year-old child after all.

"There, there is the dojo."

"Okay, then sit tight." Yun Yi spread his wings and flew down in the direction where Sauron pointed.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"I'm here to challenge you." The childish voice sounded again in the Taoist temple.

After a while, dozens of figures holding bamboo swords poked their heads out.

"Hoho, are you here to challenge like Zoro did back then?"

A tall but somewhat thin figure wearing round-frame glasses, with a kind face, appeared in front of Yun Yi. It was the master of Isshin Dojo - Shimotsuki Koshiro.

"It's not a challenge, it's a sparring match. I want to meet a master."

Earn some coins by the way.

"Okay, Kuina."

A girl who was also thin but tall went around the little ghost who was watching the fun and appeared in front of Yun Yi holding a bamboo sword.

"What do you use?" Kuina asked coldly.

"Gun!" Yun Yi stretched out his arms, and Heming appeared in Yun Yi's hands again.

"I advise you to use your Wado Ichimonji, otherwise, you will be powerless to fight back."

Turning her head to look at Zoro who came with Yun Yi, and after seeing him nod, Kuina did not hesitate.

"it is good."

After saying that, Kuina walked towards the Taoist temple behind her to get the large sword Twenty-one Skills - Wado Ichimonji passed down to her by Shimotsuki Koshiro.

I didn't ask why the other party knew about Wado Ichimonji.

"Start." With the order from Shimotsuki Koshiro, Yun Yi, holding a spear, attacked Kuina.

Kuina, holding the sword with one hand, is indeed much more flexible than Zoro, who wields two swords.

After blocking Yun Yi's attack, Guina immediately turned the long sword in her hand and chopped it hard at Yun Yi's body.

However, for Yun Yi, who is experienced in combat, such an attack is nothing to be afraid of.

He held the gun with both hands and raised it, then swept it horizontally. As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. The powerful wind from the gun forced Kuina to retreat again and again.

"I'm going to be serious."

After determining Kuina's approximate strength, Yun Yi's expression changed and the battle became fierce again, just like the previous battle against Zoro.

The spear is the king of all weapons. Its body is slender, its tip is sharp, its fighting methods are fierce and varied, its momentum is like a wind sweeping the ground, and it is as fierce as a tiger attacking.

But in terms of basic moves, there are collapse, push, press, cover, pick, strike, stab, block, wash, grab and so on. In terms of the degree of danger, each move is definitely more dangerous than the previous one.

Although Guina's swordsmanship is superb, she can never get close to Yun Yi even a step and can only keep blocking passively.

"Strange weapons, very profound fighting techniques."

Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at Kuina who was gradually losing the upper hand in the field, without showing any emotion on his face.

His eyes were only fixed on the spear in Yun Yi's hand.

In front of Gu Yina who had no long-range attacks, the spear already had the advantage. Coupled with Yun Yi's superb spear skills, Gu Yina was easily defeated by Yun Yi in less than half a quarter of an hour.

"Phew, it was an enjoyable battle, thank you."

After stretching out his arm and pulling up Kuina who was lying on the ground, Yun Yi said with satisfaction.

To be honest, Yun Yi is not bragging, this is really helpful.

In previous battles with pirates, Yun Yi always won by using lightning or some strange abilities. This was the first time that the battle involved skills and pure gunmanship.

"Yes, he is stronger than Luffy and the others. As expected, it is different when someone teaches you. Then, Gym Leader, I will leave first."

Yun Yi smiled slightly, without stopping, turned around and flew towards the sky in the astonished eyes of everyone.

He needs to summarize today's battle.

This includes integrating sword energy into one's own combat spear skills to form a sword energy slash that is unique to one's own.

……

Under the dark night, in an empty grassland, Zoro and Kuina, holding long swords, fought again.

The collision of the knives sparked several sparks, which were particularly obvious in the dark night sky.

Until Kuina accelerated for the last time and chopped Zoro away...

"My 2001 victory." Kuina looked at Zoro lying on the ground and smiled slightly.

Faced with successive failures, the young Zoro actually covered his eyes and cried bitterly.

"Damn it... I'm so unwilling..."

Hearing Zoro's crying, Kuina, who was hiding something in her heart, whispered: "I don't want to cry because I am unwilling to do so."

"Girls will be weaker than boys when they grow up, and you will catch up with me soon." Looking at the grassland in the distance, Kuina seemed to be muttering to herself.

"My father told me that 'girls are not good enough'. I understand. I have understood it for a long time. I understood it before I was defeated by that kid today. But...but I won't give up."

"That's great of you, Zoro, it's a boy. I also want to be the strongest swordsman in the world."

"But, my breasts are starting to grow..." Kuina cried, "If, if I was also a boy."

As a girl, it is naturally much more difficult for Kuina to become stronger than Zoro. In addition, today, they were defeated by a child who was much younger than them. Age seemed to have become a shame.

As Kuina either talked to herself or comforted him, Zoro stopped crying.

"You've already beaten me, so stop saying those nonsense. That's too despicable. You're my target."

Zoro's face flushed, and he shouted loudly: "What man and woman, when I beat you one day, will you say the same thing?"

"It's as if I didn't defeat him with my true strength. Then wouldn't it be like an idiot for me to train so hard?"

"I…"

"So, don't say that. Promise me that one day, even if it's not me, you will become the strongest swordsman in the world."

Looking at Kuina with sincere eyes, under the bright moonlight, Zoro continued to ask.

"How about we compete to see who can become the world's strongest swordsman first?"

The silence did not last long. In the quiet night, Kuina stopped crying and gently touched Zoro's raised arm.

This is the agreement between the two.

"That's a deal."

……

"By the way, who is the kid who came today?"

"I don't know him. I met a very strong man on the road. He knows swordsmanship and is stronger than you."

Thinking back to the blade that struck the sea, Zoro's mood became extremely unstable.

"Hahahaha, interesting. This is me witnessing my dream again."

A slightly childish laugh suddenly fell from the sky.

"Yun Yi!!!"
