Chapter 217: Kuina is fed with poisonous chicken soup
"Oh Kuina!" Shimotsuki Koshiro felt a little embarrassed when his daughter saw him looking defeated.
"She is Ms. Amatsuki Toki, and she is from Wano Country just like us."
"Sister Tianyue Toki, are you also a swordsman?" Knowing the name, Kuina ignored her father and started chatting with Tianyue Toki directly.
"Swordsman? I guess so!" Tian Yueshi had no idea of becoming a swordsman, but he did use a sword.
"Can a woman become the world's strongest swordsman?" Kuina went straight to the point.
"It doesn't seem impossible. Who says a woman can't become the world's strongest swordsman?" Tian Yueshi had never thought about this problem.
"My father said that boys will gradually become stronger than girls as they grow up, so women cannot become the world's strongest swordsman."
"What? What kind of heresy is this!" Tian Yueshi thought this was prejudice.
"Ahem!" Shimotsuki Koshiro himself was a little embarrassed. What he said was the truth, but he had just been defeated by a female swordsman, so he couldn't refute anything.
"Aren't boys stronger than girls when they grow up?" Kuina seemed to have discovered a new world. Although she said this, she really hoped that Tian Yueshi could refute her.
"Generally speaking, this is true for most people, but can one become the strongest swordsman simply by being the one with the strongest body?" Tian Yue Shi asked back.
He continued, "The strongest swordsman isn't competing in arm wrestling. Swordsmanship has a greater impact."
"Really!" Kuina's eyes suddenly widened and blinked.
"And men are stronger than women only for most ordinary people. Although there is a difference in strength, once you step into the threshold of becoming a strong person, you are no longer an ordinary person. The difference in strength will gradually become smaller, and in the end, it all comes down to your understanding of the way of the sword."
Tianyue Shi said so. In fact, she had never thought about whether a woman could become the strongest swordsman. Perhaps when Kuina asked this question before, she was not sure.
However, after Trek's questioning about the origin of domineering, Tian Yueshi had a new understanding of and application of power.
Just like it is difficult for her to cut through boulders easily when she exerts normal force, but high-frequency vibration slash and flowing saw slash can easily achieve this effect.
Moreover, if you lack strength, you can use the repulsive force of the electric charge to increase the force of the slash, and use the lightning attribute of Raikiri to make up for the deficiencies in other aspects.
"Ahem! This..." Shimotsuki Koshiro wanted to interrupt Amatsuki's twisted logic, thinking, "In theory, it's correct, but would the strongest male swordsman's understanding of the way of the sword be worse than that of a female? If they are similar, then the physical advantage will be highlighted. Women may be better than men at ordinary swordsmen, but as for the strongest swordsman, women have no chance at all."
Shimotsuki Koshiro was afraid that Toki had given Kuina unrealistic fantasies, and in the end the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Seeing that the old father seemed to want to discourage his daughter, Cui Ke felt that Shimotsuki Koshiro was a bit old-fashioned. He would just have to give it a try to know if he could succeed. Even if he was not the strongest in the world in the end, it would be good to have a lofty goal.
So he said to Tian Yueshi: "Show it to her!"
"Who is this?" Shimotsuki Koshiro asked, not knowing the man's identity.
"I am her apprentice, and she is my kendo master!" Cui Ke said before Tian Yueshi answered.
Tian Yueshi thought about it, swung his sword, and the blade gently rested on a huge rock. Then, like cutting butter, the blade easily cut the rock in half.
I didn't see how much strength Tian Yueshi used, but there were high-frequency fluctuations of domineering aura on the blade.
"This!!! How did they do that?" Kuina was very shocked. She didn't see any force or slashing, but the boulder was cut so easily. It somewhat subverted her previous understanding of kendo.
It was difficult to understand the lightning on the sword before, and this is even more confusing now.
"Is this how you dissolve the domineering aura on your sword?" Shimotsuki Koshiro couldn't understand the principle behind this.
"How should I put it? It's the complex application of domineering aura. After you have cultivated domineering aura, you can try various things more often." Tian Yueshi thought of Cui Ke's various thoughts on domineering aura, and felt that Kuina should be able to do it too.
"Can Haki be used like this?" Shimotsuki Koshiro was a little embarrassed. After all, they usually used it to entangle to increase the strength of weapons, or to release it to enhance flying slashes, and then they competed to see who had the strength and proficiency of Haki.
Shimotsuki Koshiro tried it, but found that he couldn't easily perform the kind of fine control that he did at Amatsuki. It was very unstable, and his domineering aura could easily collapse on its own.
"What is Haki?" Kuina has not yet been exposed to this level of knowledge.
Trick acted as a tutor to explain things to Guina.
"Everyone has a kind of power in their body. It can be generated through long-term practice. Armament Haki can strengthen itself and wrap around weapons to increase the strength of weapons. Observation Haki can predict attacks and sense enemies. As for Conqueror Haki, this is innate. It is a king's qualification and is more inclined to deterrence and coercion."
"If you have an unshakable belief in becoming the world's strongest swordsman, you will definitely be able to awaken the Conqueror's Haki." Cui Ke added, trying to give Kuina some confidence.
"Hey hey hey!" Shimotsuki Koshiro felt that Trek was giving his daughter chicken soup. The Conqueror's Haki was a thing that was one in a million, and he knew of only two women who possessed it, one was the Empress of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the other was Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors.
The Empress probably has the bonus because she is the Emperor of Nine Snake Island, and the Four Emperors Big Mom is not even a normal human being.
"Really?! I must become the strongest swordsman in the world!" Kuina was filled with confidence by Trick's chicken soup.
"And you see, your father and I are both men, but we can't use sister Tianyueshi's skills so easily. Her skills require very delicate control of domineering aura, and it is not the case that the stronger the person, the easier it is to do. Women are more advantageous than men in terms of delicate thoughts and skills, and their domineering aura is softer and easier to control."
Cui Ke continued to add fuel to the fire: "As we all know, kendo is the art of swordsmanship. Women have an innate advantage in terms of sensitivity and controllability of skills. And as the saying goes, 'a woman's heart is as deep as the sea'. Others cannot predict your attack, so the world's strongest swordsman is more likely to be a woman!"
"Hiss!" Shimotsuki Koshiro took a breath of cold air. Who is this guy? He is full of twisted logic and heresy, and can turn black into white.
Kuina's eyes had never been so bright. She never expected that being a woman was not only not an obstacle to becoming the world's strongest swordsman, but also an advantage.
[Soruro in the future complained: Ah, right, right, I was beaten by a yandere and a little loli not long after my debut. Your father is just a liar. ]
Shimotsuki Koshiro really wanted to say that this man was talking nonsense, but it was rare to see Kuina so happy and full of hope for the future, so he had to remain silent.
Although Kuina regained her dream because of the agreement with Zoro, it was not as fierce as the poisonous chicken soup these two people gave her today.
It is 100% certain that Kuina believed it, and she believed it without a doubt.
