Chapter 218: The deceased Kuina
Kuina wants to become Tianyueshi's apprentice because Tianyueshi is a woman and she is more suitable to teach herself who is also a woman.
"Sister Shi, can I become your disciple?" Kuina looked at Tianyue eagerly and begged.
"This..." Tian Yueshi was a little embarrassed, "I am just a passer-by, and I have to go to the future with Trek, it's not convenient."
Looking at Tian Yueshi's hesitation, Kuina looked a little gloomy. There are not many strong women in this world, and powerful female swordsmen are even rarer. Kuina doesn't want to miss Tian Yueshi.
"We probably won't stay here long. We will leave." Tian Yueshi said with difficulty. At the same time, she thought, "What is Trek's mission here this time? He probably won't stay long."
"I can follow you to practice!" Guina said immediately.
"My own daughter is about to be kidnapped!" Shimotsuki Koshiro suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"But where we are going is..." Tian Yueshi looked at Trick and thought, "They are going to travel to the future. It is not appropriate to bring a child like Kuina with them."
"Bring Kuina to the future? This will cause her and Zoro to be dislocated in time and space. When Zoro became a great swordsman, she was still a child. However, Kuina should have fallen off the ladder and died. If I save her this time, what will happen in the future?" Trek thought.
"Actually..." Trek was about to refuse.
[Ding! Trigger the hidden task of the prop: Life is unpredictable, please let Kuina die in a funny way. Mission successful: Unlock the new ability of [Memory Projector] to modify memory. Mission failed: Erase Kuina]
"What kind of weird mission is this? Is it the will of the world? So Kuina must die." Trek was shocked by this weird mission in his mind.
"We have something to do and cannot stay here for long, but when you have cultivated to a certain level of strength in the future, we will come to find you." Cui Ke had to perfunctorily answer.
"Okay, I will definitely practice hard!" Kuina rekindled her hope.
After bidding farewell to Shimotsuki Koshiro and Kuina, Toki wondered what Trek wanted to do by coming to this time and space node.
"It's a bit tricky. This child was going to die this year. I wanted to save her, but it seems that the will of the world cannot be changed." said Trek.
"She is already dead in the future! There is indeed no way to change the past." Tian Yueshi was very surprised and regretful.
"Then are my instructions to Makino useless?" Trek felt anxious. "Since the future cannot be changed, what's the point of doing so much?"
"Is there no other way? I like this child. She is strong and hardworking. If we were not heading into the future, I would have wanted to adopt her." Tian Yueshi held Cui Ke's hands with both hands and prayed.
"Ahem!" Trick blushed a little. The ripe fruit was too tempting.
"Kuina is considered dead in the future, but there is a person who looks like Kuina, Tashigi. Many people laugh at how it is possible that someone in the pirate world fell to death from a ladder. It's so funny! Some people even suspect that Tashigi is Kuina."
"Funny? Kuina died and Tashigi was born!" Thinking of this, Trek suddenly had a bold idea.
"I'll try. Maybe there is a way that works. Everything will make sense logically and history won't be changed." said Trek.
"That's great!" Tian Yueshi hugged Cui Ke excitedly.
"There's something wrong with Tian Yueshi! What's so exciting about this? How long have these two known each other?" Cui Ke had the illusion that Tian Yueshi was taking advantage of him. "She's attracted to a young hunk like me?"
"I'm a little excited. Sorry." Tian Yueshi let go of his hand and straightened his clothes when he saw the strange look in Cui Ke's eyes. He thought to himself, "I'm a little out of control again. I can't help but want to get close to you. Am I that slutty?"
In fact, Cui Ke had already noticed that he had been acting abnormally recently, but he attributed it to too many blood transfusions and himself being too weak.
But it was too frequent, and my waist and knees would ache from time to time. How could it still be like this after so long? Especially since I had enchanted a lot of [Dao Power Gacha], it couldn't be like this.
Back to the topic, Trek took out the [Maintenance Man's Ladder] and secretly replaced the ladder in Kuina's warehouse.
Note: [Maintenanceman's Ladder (Guina): You can pass any gate by carrying it, but you cannot climb it. If you climb it, you will fall.]
Based on the principle that she would die anyway if he didn't kill her, Trek still felt that he had more room to maneuver by killing her himself.
-------------------------------------
On the other side, Kuina was filled with energy after eating the poisonous chicken soup. She practiced harder and continued to beat Zoro into a pig's head.
That day she took out the Wado Ichimonji and planned to try it with a real sword, thinking that since she was such a genius, she might be able to practice the Hegemony now.
"Why are there so many cuts on this knife? Oh, right, they were caused by my sister during my father's last fight. It's amazing, this is the first time this knife has been broken, in previous fights it was other knives that broke."
"No, I need to use a whetstone to sharpen it." Kuina trotted to the warehouse to find a whetstone.
I put up the ladder, climbed up the cabinet and was about to get the whetstone when my foot slipped and I said, "Ah!"
"boom--"
"What are you doing! Why are you stopping me from saving her?" Tian Yueshi witnessed the whole process. He originally wanted to save people, but was stopped by Cui Ke. He was really excited this time and pulled Cui Ke's clothes and shouted angrily.
When Cui Ke shook off Tianyue, he quickly came to Kuina and sniffed her breath, finding it was weak.
The system has not yet determined that the mission was successful. Trek is very anxious at this time and is hesitating whether to give Kuina the Senzu Beans.
"How is she? Take her to see a doctor!" Tian Yueshi was about to hug Kuina, but was stopped by Trek again.
Cui Ke took out the [Frozen Time Capsule] and pressed it directly on Kuina. Kuina's "state" was instantly frozen and then directly put into the [Space Pocket].
Trek knew that living things could not be put into a space pocket, but he later discovered that the living things in the [Frozen Time Capsule] were not subject to this limitation. Because they were frozen, they would not die from lack of oxygen and vacuum conditions.
Note: [Freezing Time Capsule (Aokiji): Pressing it on the opponent will form a large time capsule, freezing the life state inside. Pressing the release button will release the state. It can be used to save seriously injured and seriously ill patients. ]
"What is this? Where is the person?" Tian Yueshi was overwhelmed by Trek's operations and felt that Trek was becoming more and more mysterious.
"You hide, and remember to dig me out in time!" Cui Ke said something without any context and directly disguised himself as the injured and unconscious Guina.
"This! What does it mean? F*ck!" Tian Yueshi didn't understand, but was shocked to see Trick turn into Kuina. Although she knew that Trick had the ability to disguise others, what did it mean to turn into Kuina? She couldn't help but utter Trick's catchphrase.
"What happened in the warehouse? Why was there such a loud noise!" Hearing the shouts outside, Tian Yueshi quickly hid.
"Kuina!!!" The students in the dojo found Kuina lying on the ground and hurried over to check.
"Dead!" One of the students who was checking turned pale in an instant, while the others hurried to inform Shimotsuki Koshiro, and a few went to inform Zoro.
