The Strongest Swordsman In One Piece

Chapter 15's

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Here, this is your part this time."

At night, at a hotel in a small town.

El hands a box of five million Belly to Carina and Nami in front of him, then gets up and walks towards the bathroom: "Rest early, tomorrow we'll go to the country with the bank."

"Nii-san, I will rub your back for you."

"Nii-san, I will help you wash your hair."

While casually disposing of the box, Carina and Nami, who used to love money like life, ran left and right and said with great enthusiasm.

"Why did you please me so much today?"

El raised his eyebrows and joked: "Do you not want to draw me to playing cards anymore, you have not lost enough?"

"...hehe, of course not!"

El's words made Carina and Nami seem to recall some bad memories, and the smiles on their faces froze slightly.

Obviously, playing cards with El, who had the ability to read hearts 24 hours a day, the two girls were given a terrible lesson.

Carina said with a dry smile: "We just feel that the effort is not worth the profit, and we just want to make up for Nii-san."

"Uh-huh ..."

Nami nodded vigorously and suggested, "In addition, Nii-san's hair is very long, it would be best if anyone helped."

"...Fine."

Through the ability to see people's hearts, after knowing that this was indeed their true thoughts, El did not refuse and nodded.

After all, this was not the first time the two Girls had helped out, and El had gotten used to it.

In the steam-filled [bathroom], El put on a bath towel and sat on a small stool, letting the two neatly dressed Girls rub her back and wash her hair.

"Nii-san, the great pirate whose information was revealed at real-time rank, has basically been defeated by us."

Carina's hand was covered with a shower wave, and while rubbing El's back, she suggested, "Furthermore, should we remain self-effacing for a while, or change the list, he said, like the strongest pirate group in the East Blue Real-time Ranking?"

As Carina's words fell, El clearly noticed the small hand movements on top of her head that stopped.

In her perception, Nami's mood had undergone a drastic change.

Obviously, Nami was full of emotions.

Because it's only been over a month since the three of them formed.

The Arlong pirate group is still ranked No. 1 in the Strongest Pirate group of the year in the East Blue Real Time Ranking.

Nami, who witnessed El in just a month, was like killing a chicken, easily killing the four great pirates, and already had a certain understanding of El's power.

Strong and invincible.

This month, Nami wants to ask El for help more than once.

Only the kindness in his heart made him unable to open his mouth at any moment.

And now, if El really changed his goal and set his sights on that rank, Nami would definitely muster up the courage to speak this time around.

However, El gives Nami an answer that leaves Nami desperate again: "Let's stay humble for a while. After saving money in the bank, I want to go somewhere and visit a strong person."

"Nii-san, where are you going?"

Carina had no idea what Nami was thinking.

Hearing El's words, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Visiting a strong person, is there someone stronger than you in East Blue?"

"..."

El speechless.

He did not expect, in just a month.

The two girls actually admired him greatly.

So, El could only say patiently: "This world is huge, and there are many people stronger than me.

"The person I want to visit is the one who taught me swordsmanship."

"It is said that the ruler of the Dojo is a very powerful swordsman."

"One of my goals of going to the sea is to challenge it."

"I don't have a clear understanding of my current strength, and I desperately need to fight against strong people to recognize myself."

El's words were half right.

'The 'Teacher' who taught him swordsmanship for a few days back then was merely an apprentice in a certain Dojo.

But it was true that El would visit an extremely powerful swordsman.

In other words, it was not a swordsman, but a master swordsman.

A swordsman who, like him, mastered a combination of violence and gentleness,

And that great swordsman was the master of Zoro, from the country of Wano - Koushirou Shimotsuki.

The surname Shimotsuki may have been very foreign in this era.

But hundreds of years ago, the name of a man with this surname echoed around the world.

The same person who made the world knew that there was a master swordsman in Wano.

He is a legendary swordsman who slashes flying dragons, and is considered a sword god by the Wano country - Ryuma Shimotsuki.

Koushirou and Kuina are descendants of the Dragon Slayer.

Although Koushirou in the original book did not make a single shot, but the supreme swordsmanship he showed for Zoro, and his encounter with Monkey D. Dragon, you can see its power, and it's definitely not an existence that El can defeat in this case the stage.

Rather than challenging Koushirou, it was better to say that El wanted to ask Koushirou for advice.

Because in all of East Blue, except Monkey D. Garp, the naval hero who would come home to visit his grandson from time to time, there were only two people that El could be confident with the other party's mastery of the Haki Armament.

One of them is Luffy's childhood master, Naguri, who says that he was defeated by Gol D. Roger.

The other is Koushiro.

However, compared to Naguri whose whereabouts were unknown, El felt he had a better chance of success by asking Koushirou.

Neither Carina nor Nami knew what El was thinking.

But they were all frightened by El's words, "There are more people stronger than me".

For the two girls who had yet to see the entire world, the flying slash was an incredible power in their eyes.

El is the strongest person they've ever seen.

They could not imagine that there were people stronger than El in this world.

If there were people stronger than El, how strong would they be?
