Pirate's Swordsmanship Supreme

Before closing the door to the second-floor room, Qi Ya threw the Garfield in his hand out and ignored it.

At this time, Anita in the room heard the noise coming from the living room, opened the door and stuck her head out, "Qiya, why are you back so late? Are you still doing the card training?"

Qiya followed the sound and saw Anita.

Seeing that the other party had changed into a cool nightgown at this time, he shook his head and said, "No, you have a good sleep." After that, he walked over and stuffed the other party's head back into the room, then closed the door, and then came Go to the exercise room.

He trained his arm strength in the exercise room until the strength value in his personal panel increased by 1 point. He then washed himself in the bathroom attached to the house and went back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, I ran around the village several times with a heavy load until the speed value was 1 point higher, then returned to the second floor of the small building to rest for a while.

During this period, Anita had already prepared breakfast. After the two of them solved their stomach problems in the gradually vacated living room, Qi Ya went to the dojo with Anita according to the original arrangement.

……

In the next few days, Qi Ya spent most of the day at the Dojo, trying his best to improve his proficiency while observing Kuina's every move with a keen eye.

Anita also stayed with Kuina almost all the time under his orders. However, as the two were the few female students in the dojo, they had a close relationship, so no one thought it was abnormal.

That duel under the moonlit night really changed both sides of the duel a lot.

Kuina no longer adheres to the distinction between male and female swordsmen, and has increased the already heavy training volume by a large margin.

After Zoro realized his lack of strength, he increased his strength training. At the same time, because he was no longer satisfied with two swords, he recently began to train the bite force of his teeth, preparing to become a three-sword swordsman. .

Sakia was not surprised by this, and even when Zoro asked him for advice, he even suggested that he could tie a stone with a similar weight with a rope, bite the other end of the rope, and practice dragging.

The idea of ​​persuading the other party to return to the two-sword style has never occurred to him - after all, Zoro of the three-sword style is the Zoro with a soul!

Ghost Slash, Tiger Hunt, Tornado, Ox Needle, Crab Sting, Sword Wolf Style, Ergangli Slash, Crow Demon Hunt, Hundred and Eight Troubled Phoenixes, Three Sword Style Secrets Three Thousand Worlds...

Without Zoro's three-sword style, it would probably be difficult for these moves to appear in this world again.

After taking the main development direction of swordsmanship, Qi Ya has always been interested in fighting different swordsmen.

During the period when he and Yukuna were practicing sword fighting on Baisha Island, he discovered that when both sides had similar sword skills, the effect of such a sword fight was far more obvious than just practicing hard.

It's just that the strength of Isshin Dojo is too serious, and his current strength is between Kuina and Koushiro.

Going down to fight against Kuina and the others is just bullying; going up to fight against Koushiro, they are far behind in terms of vision, color, and sword handling speed. They often lose within a few moves of the fight, which actually improves the effect. Worrying.

After An Wen had gained proficiency in the dojo for about a week, Sakia saw that Kuina was still doing well, and he began to wonder: had he swayed her life path?

And the morning after this thought arose, the news of Guina's unexpected death spread throughout the dojo.

The most shocked among them is Zoro, followed by Anita. The story is still that "she accidentally fell down the stairs of the warehouse while trying to find the whetstone for her beloved knife."

Everyone saw Kuina, who was blindfolded by a piece of white cloth in the spacious dojo. Qi Ya calmly used her own sense of perception for a while and found that the other person had indeed temporarily lost her heartbeat and breathing.

Everyone in the venue had doubts in their hearts. Guina's death was too sudden, but out of respect for the deceased, almost no one made any unnecessary noise.

Even the agitated Zoro didn't do anything out of the ordinary after seeing Kuina's body lying quietly on the white cloth.

Sakia took the time to pay attention to Koushiro's expression, and found that except for suppressing his usual smile, he had no extra expression, like an old monk without joy or sorrow.

too weird……

It was true that Guina was not in his perception before the accident, and it was impossible for him to be so perverted that he would even use his perception to spy on the other party when they were doing private things, but he could be sure that:

It was not an accident that happened to Guina in the warehouse. At that time, what he saw happened to cover the warehouse area, and the other party never appeared in the warehouse at all...

So since the cause of death was fabricated, it was difficult for him to accept the fact that Guina died. On the one hand, it was a pity that a young and familiar life died so easily, and on the other hand, he vaguely saw the invisible behind the matter. Push hands.

The invisible pusher is called "destiny". Once it is recorded, no matter how hard you try, it will be of no avail?

As if he felt Qia Ya's gaze, Koushiro turned his head and looked at Qia Ya for a moment, then calmly turned away, and finally fell towards Zoro who was in the lead. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

……

On the day of the funeral, it was rainy and gloomy. Almost all the families in Shuangyue Village who had benefited from the Yishin Dojo sent representatives to help send Kuina off on her last journey.

Most of the group were wearing black clothes and holding black umbrellas. Four people were separated, carrying the coffin, and walked across the road in the middle of the paddy field toward the village cemetery.

"I heard she fell down the stairs in the warehouse."

"storehouse?"

"It seemed like she was looking for the whetstone for her beloved knife."

"Why are you looking for something like that?"

"I don't know."

"She's still a child!"

"People are really unpredictable! No one can predict the future..."

Qi Ya and Anita were at the back of the team, and there were low murmurs in the field from time to time.

Zoro walked expressionlessly, with the black umbrella held by Qia Ya above his head. The villagers' comments seemed to be heard from a very far away place, and it took a long time to reach his ears. Suddenly, he recalled Earlier, Qi Ya asked him a question:

"If Guina suddenly disappeared from your world one day, would you feel bad?"

He felt that his mood now was the same as when he first heard the question, and there seemed to be an empty space in his heart... Why are people so fragile?

Sakia glanced at Zoro, whose hair was wet by the erratic rain, and then at Koushiro in front of the crowd, and finally chose to remain silent.

The origin of Koushiro's family is very problematic, and Zoro's life experience before joining the Isshin Dojo is also very problematic. These days, he is also summarizing and reflecting on his own shortcomings.

In the final analysis, his current strength and power are not enough, there are few available and useful personnel, and the channels for obtaining intelligence are narrow, so that if he wants to explore the truth about Guina's "death", he feels that he has no way to start.

……

On the seventh day after Kuina's funeral, Koushiro found Zoro who was practicing like crazy with Wado Yijimonji, and took him to an empty training dojo.

The two of them knelt down in front of the altar on the wall, one behind the other. Wadou Ichimonji was placed beside Koushiro. The two were silent for a while, and finally Koushiro calmly said:

"Why are people so fragile, Zoro?"

"Guina, she has always been a child who refuses to admit defeat."

"I have been practicing in this dojo since I was a child. I have developed skills that even adults cannot resist."

"Perhaps because of this, she is a little arrogant."

"At this moment, Zoro, you appeared. I am very grateful to you."

"In order not to lose to you who is getting stronger gradually, that child also practices harder."

"She doesn't want to lose to a boy like you!"

"So, she began to gradually break down the barriers for female swordsmen."

"I am also an ordinary father!"

"Looking at you now, I feel sad too."

After hearing this, Zoro's tears couldn't stop dripping on the wooden board. He clenched his fists on his knees and said with sadness:

"Master, give me that knife..."

Hearing this, Koushiro tilted his head and asked calmly: "Kuina's sword?"

At this time, Zoro raised his tearful face and shouted firmly:

"I will become stronger along with her! I will become so strong that my name will be resounding in heaven! I will become the strongest swordsman in the world!"

"We all agreed...I...I..."

"Okay." Koushiro turned around and looked at Zoro who lowered his head again with a kind smile. After a moment, he picked up the Wadou Yimonji next to him, held his hands in front of him, and continued:

"Guina's soul and dreams are entrusted to you."
