Chapter 390 Leaving Shimokatsuki Village
On the soft grass,
After Kuina left, Zoro stood up.
He put away the sword in his hand and put it back into the scabbard.
Then he patted his butt and said with some complaints: "Why is Kuina's attacking moves so strange today? It's as if that is not her swordsmanship..."
As expected of a swordsmanship genius, Zoro could see that there was something wrong with Kuina's swordsmanship tonight.
"But if I continue like this, I will be surpassed by her even more!
I will have to work harder next time!
Sooner or later, I will defeat Kuina!"
"Guina seems to be a little abnormal tonight, acting strangely, saying some inexplicable words..."
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I want to continue practicing!"
As he spoke, Zoro stood up and walked to the sword that was stuck in the grass not far away. He pulled it out and raised the sword towards Mingyue.
Under the moonlight, the knife flashed a sharp cold light.
"Damn it! If I could get more familiar with it, I might be the winner tonight..."
Although Kuina was taking advantage of his situation, she was indeed attacking his weakness...
"Zoro, it's so late, are you still awake?"
The moment Zoro put the sword back into the scabbard, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"It's the teacher."
Zoro looked back and found that the person coming was Koshiro, who was slowly approaching.
He stopped only when he reached Zoro.
Zoro also asked his inner doubts: "Teacher, Kuina seems a little strange today.
Her tone was as if she was saying goodbye to me.”
Koshiro smiled and said, "Didn't she tell you?"
"No, she said someone would tell me." Zoro scratched his head and said.
Koshiro smiled and said, "Then let me tell you."
"Kuina didn't lie to you. She will leave the island tomorrow."
"well?!!!"
Zoro was shocked by this sudden news. He opened his mouth wide and asked with some sweat on his face: "Why..."
Koshiro said truthfully, "Kuina has joined the navy!"
"What! She joined...the Navy?!!"
Zoro was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Why is this happening? Will I never see her again in the future?
I haven’t defeated her yet!”
Zoro said with deep disappointment.
Seeing this, Koshiro just smiled and then stretched out a hand.
There is half a jade pendant that is translucent green on it.
Even lighter than Zoro's green hair.
Zoro stared at the jade pendant and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the declaration of war that Kuina left for you. Of course, it's up to you to accept it or not." Koshiro smiled with narrowed eyes.
Then, Koshiro told the story about the seven-year agreement.
After hearing this, Zoro was completely stunned.
Then his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Koshiro could feel the intense excitement and fighting spirit emerging from Zoro at this moment.
"I see... So this is what Kuina said before she left."
The corners of Zoro's mouth couldn't help but rise up.
"So, Zoro, are you willing to accept this challenge?" Koshiro said with a gentle smile.
"interesting!
A seven-year agreement?
I took it! "
Zoro's blood boiled and even his heart became hot because of this challenge.
After a loud shout, Zoro grabbed half of the jade pendant from Koshiro's palm.
Zoro shouted to the bright moon hanging in the sky:
"Guina, just wait and see!
I will definitely become a powerful swordsman in seven years, and defeat you fairly!"
"Zoro, if you just rely on your aura, you won't be able to defeat Kuina who will become very powerful in the future.
For this seven-year agreement.
I will train you strictly from now on, is that okay?"
"Yes! Please, please train me hard!
I don’t want to lose to anyone anymore!”
Zoro clenched the jade pendant in his hand with great fighting spirit.
He and Kuina are natural rivals!
“It’s really exciting.”
Zoro grinned.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
The day of departure.
Kuina was just carrying a simple bag on her back as she was about to walk out of the yard of the kendo hall.
Behind her, Koshiro and a group of people who knew that Kuina was leaving the gym to become apprentices came to see her off.
"Strange, where is Zoro? I clearly told him the time you were leaving."
Koshiro looked around but didn't see the green-haired child.
"Forget it, I won't wait for him. I said goodbye to him yesterday."
Having said that, Kuina stood up and was about to leave the yard.
"Hey, Kuina!
Wait for me! "
In the distance, a sweaty child was running towards this side at a very fast speed. It was the green-haired Zoro.
"Huhu, finally caught up."
Zoro quickly ran to Kuina, breathing heavily.
In order not to lose to Kuina in the future, he got up early in the morning to exercise.
"Kuina, I will never lose to you again!
I will definitely become a great swordsman in the future!
Then I will surpass you and defeat you!"
Zoro clenched his fists with a determined look, his eyes burning with strong fighting spirit.
Kuina: “I should be the one to say this.
Don’t let me beat you up when the time comes.”
"Then it's a deal, I will definitely come find you in seven years!
I will defeat you fair and square!"
Zoro raised a fist towards Kuina.
May God protect you and hope you don’t get lost at sea…
Kuina did not show any weakness either, and also stretched out a fist to touch Zoro's.
The two were filled with determination.
"I will become the strongest swordsman and defeat you again!
Even if you are a girl, you can become the strongest!"
The two reached an agreement at this moment.
Zoro also smiled: "Don't worry, I will be the first to become a great swordsman!"
Kuina withdrew her hand: "Humph, that's not certain yet.
Bye now. "
Although they said so, Koshiro and the others still sent Kuina to the beach.
After all, we don’t know when we will meet again.
The group was taken to the beach.
There were already two figures waiting there, they were Lin En and Philo.
Lynn was holding a bag of bird food in his hand, and he scattered it casually on the wooden port on the coast to feed the seagulls.
There were not many seagulls, only three in number.
When the seagulls saw Guina and the others coming, they just turned their heads to look and then continued to peck at the bird food on the ground.
Koshiro, Kuina and others came to Lin En.
Only then did Lin En stop what he was doing.
Kuina: "Mr. Lin, I'm here!"
"Very well, let's set off."
Lynn pointed at the flame boat drifting on the sea.
