Chapter 388 Kuina vs. Zoro
"Hey, Koshiro, I'm not dead yet.
Why are you mumbling here? "
A short old man with fluffy white hair tied up behind his back walked out from behind the screen.
His hands were clasped behind his back at his waist.
He scolded Koshiro in a blaming but careless tone.
The person who came was Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Gu Yuena’s grandfather!
"Ahem, Father, that's not what I meant..."
Koshiro raised his glasses on the tip of his nose and said with some embarrassment.
"However, when did you come here, father? I didn't even notice..."
Geng Sanlang glanced at the half jade pendant on the table and said slowly, "You are really willing to use the Shimotsuki family's inherited jade pendant as a bet to encourage Gu Yuena's growth.
You have always been prejudiced against her because she is a girl."
"I saw in her the same things that you saw in your youth, and I thought it was worth a gamble."
Koshiro pushed up his glasses and smiled.
“It seems that the appearance of that man has changed your opinion of Kuina.
More importantly, Kuina also grew up because of the appearance of that man. "
An expression of relief suddenly appeared on Kozaburo's face, and he laughed out loud towards the sky.
"Father, don't you blame me for destroying this heirloom?"
Koshiro said with some surprise.
He originally thought that he would be blamed by his father for destroying the jade pendant without permission, but he didn't.
"You are the head of the family now.
For me, it's up to you.
I've let go of a lot.
Besides, this is not Wano Country, so there is no need to follow ancestral teachings in everything.
Besides, it is also a good thing to let Kuina see the outside world. I think you can pass on the dojo to Kuina in the future."
"Right, let's not talk about this for now."
“Today I was fishing on the coast and met a very ambitious green-haired kid who was working hard to keep fit.
I see the qualities of a strong man in him!"
"It's a pity, I wanted to enlighten him.
He is too young to listen to the ‘wisdom of giving up fame’ that I taught him.”
Kozaburo said with some regret.
Renunciation of name and wisdom is a slogan and also a belief.
It means that when fighting, you can give up everything, including your own life.
It is a kind of courage that is willing to do anything for ideals and beliefs!
"Green hair?
Could it be Sauron?"
Koshiro lowered his head and muttered.
Kozaburo was surprised: "What, that kid is Zoro?
Is this the opponent that Kuina promised us to face in the future?"
"Uh, father, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is very rude."
Koshiro pushed his glasses up on his nose and muttered.
Were you eavesdropping the whole time?
Kozaburo: “Haha, none of this matters.
But, Shiro, you have arranged a strong enemy for Kuina!
That green-haired kid has extraordinary talent!"
Kozaburo: “I know.
But this is the path Kuina chose herself.
What the final result will be, we will have to wait and see.”
……
The moonlight, the full moon hangs high in the sky, shining brightly in the eyes.
The earth seemed to be covered with a layer of bright silver gauze.
Everything on the ground looks dreamy and hazy.
Under the moonlight, in the outdoor training ground of Shimotsuki Village.
There was a boy with green hair, and he was constantly swinging the sword in his hand!
It's Sauron!
With each strike, Zoro became more and more familiar with the weight of the two swords.
This sword was given to him by a strange old fisherman he met while training on the coast today.
"He's so kind, thanks to him, I can now touch a real sword!
Instead of using those wooden sword toys to challenge your opponents!"
Zoro raised the two swords in his hands towards the moon, and a look of surprise appeared on his little face.
Swordsmen have loved swords since ancient times.
In the eyes of every swordsman, the status of a sword is even more attractive than a beauty!
The two sharp long knives emitted bursts of cold white light under the moonlight.
“I’m almost familiar with these two swords!
Next, I'm going to challenge Kuina!
I don't know if she is asleep now.
However, with these two real weapons, my strength will definitely be improved!
I must defeat Kuina tonight and make her fall under my sword, hehe~"
As he said this, Zoro sheathed the two swords given by the old man.
When the sword and scabbard came into contact, there was a slight sound of metal collision.
"Zoro, so you are here? I have been looking for you for a long time."
A girl's voice sounded from behind Zoro.
The person who came was Kuina, who had fair skin and short black hair.
At this moment, she was smiling and greeting Zoro.
And Zoro turned around with a slightly surprised look on his face.
Soon, they found Kuina, who was crossing her arms and holding a long sword in her arms.
What she was holding in her arms was Wado Ichimonji!
The handle and scabbard of this sword are white throughout.
The blade length of this knife is about 88 cm.
The knife width is 1.9 cm.
The blade is 0.9 mm wide.
This is a big and sharp sword, and the forging process level is twenty-one!
……
He saw Kuina appear on the grass in front of him in the night, holding a real sword.
Zoro was also very surprised. He was about to challenge Kuina when she appeared in front of him!
However, when Zoro looked up, he noticed the smile on Kuina's face, which made Zoro's eyes stunned.
Kuina who always kept a serious expression!
She actually laughed!
Zoro shouted, "Hey, Kuina, did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Kuina: “!!!”
"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about!
Stupid Zoro.
You took the wrong medicine!"
Zoro felt that Kuina was very special today. She was full of optimism, cheerfulness and liveliness.
It was as if he had been reborn, and his entire aura had undergone a drastic change.
She feels relaxed now.
Precisely,
She is no longer confused!
“Hey, Kuina, let’s not talk about this.
I was just about to go find you!
Let us have a fair fight with real swords!
Today I got two real swords, I won’t lose to you again!
"Be prepared! Kuina!"
As Zoro finished speaking, he drew out a knife from his waist with a clang and pointed it at Kuina.
Once again, he invited her to a fight!
"Zoro, you really won't give up.
But that's exactly what I want, and that's why I came to see you!"
“Haha, that’s great.
It's rare that we have the same thoughts today.
Then let’s fight!”
Zoro drew out the last sword with great fighting spirit.
He made a double sword starting stance.
Now he is like a little wild boar with two sharp fangs in front of him.
Gives a very dangerous feeling.
"The momentum is quite good."
Kuina grinned, then pulled out her own Wado Ichimonji.
The sword blade with graceful lines glowed in the moonlight, extremely beautiful.
The moment Kuina drew her sword,
The smile on his face faded, replaced by a very serious expression.
He no longer had the same attitude of looking down on Sauron as before.
From now on, Zoro is her real opponent!
"The battle begins!"
