The Strongest Swordsman In One Piece

Chapter 18's

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Senior, please tell!"

El pointed at Koushirou with a bamboo sword in his hand, and said with a serious expression.

Although the person before him was a mountain that he absolutely could not defeat at this stage.

But that didn't stop him, he wanted to see just how much distance between himself and the Swordsman Master was.

"Hehe...Young man, who's your teacher?"

Just like when Zoro came to play in the gym.

Looking at El's appearance, Koushirou not only did not get angry, but instead showed a smile that Kuina had long missed, and eyes full of admiration, and asked gently.

"teacher?"

El's surface was slightly startled, and then he said proudly: "I have no teacher. My current strength is based on my own efforts."

Seeing El's innocent appearance, Koushiro's heart suddenly exploded.

At first, he thought El was just a gifted child with this level of physical fitness at a young age.

But he did not expect that in addition to his strong physical qualities, El was also a swordsman who understood the "breath of All Things".

Judging from the fact that he stirred the air with the bamboo sword, turned the bamboo sword into a 'real sword' and cut another bamboo sword, Koushirou was convinced that El had mastered "cutting steel".

A young swordsman who was at most eleven years old, the one who carved this coarse jade should be skilled in swordsmanship, or even a powerful man whose strength was no less than his own.

However, Koushirou did not know at all.

El, the young swordsman, was still a rough jade that had yet to be carved by anyone.

At this moment, Koushirou's heart for accepting disciples increased tremendously.

his face showed anticipation, and his voice was even mixed with trembling that no one noticed when speaking, "Then, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"I refuse!"

El chose to refuse without hesitation, still proudly on his face and uttered a sentence that shocked the audience and made all the students look at him: "Although the internship will make me take a much less crooked path. But I prefer the adventure type. self-improvement rather than the shortcut."

"And this is why I went overboard when I was eight and came here to Challenge the Dojo!"

These words were the words of El's heart.

El's remarks shocked all the students including Zoro, and also shocked Kuina who had just ran out. He wanted to hide in a corner and cry, but he thought that El would challenge his father next, and wanted to see his swordsmanship. After becoming entangled, Kuina quietly returned to the corridor to eavesdrop.

"...Eight years, are you only eight years old?!"

Koushirou's heart was also very shocked.

He thought El, who was similar in height to his daughter, was at least ten years old, or even eleven years old.

But he had no idea that El was only eight years old.

The eight-year-old Sword Master...

What's wrong with this world?

Even if he was that strong, he could not help but doubt his current life.

"That's a lie..he's even younger than me?!"

Zoro was also hit hard.

"...Come with me!"

Koushirou calmed his complicated mood. After looking at El deeply, he slowly stood up and said to the surprised middle-aged man, "You continue to teach everyone."

"Yes sir."

The middle-aged man who regained his senses quickly replied respectfully.

On the other hand, El threw the bamboo sword back into the wooden barrel, taking out his sword handed over by Carina, who had a stern expression on her face, and took the two girls who were surprised even though they did not understand, and went with them.

Koushirou walked towards the corridor.

Seeing them coming here, Kuina, who was peeping, hurriedly left.

At the end of the corridor was an ancient courtyard.

There are ponds, wooden stakes, small bamboo forests, and relatively spacious open spaces.

"Dad."

After Koushirou walked out of the corridor with the trio and Zoro following them subconsciously.

Kuina, whose eyes were slightly red, was already standing there waiting for them.

Looking towards Kuina, who inevitably came to watch the battle of the Master swordsmen as her curiosity exceeded her inner depression, Koushirou nodded and said. "Go and get a real sword."

"Yes, dad."

Kuina nodded vigorously, then glanced at El, whose height was not much different from her, but her actual age was two or three years younger than her, and ran away.

After a while, Kuina returned with an ordinary samurai sword.

After handing over the samurai sword to her father, Kuina did not stand beside Zoro, but stood beside Carina and Nami, staring at El who was standing opposite her father, who was standing next to her, and inevitably comparing his height to the two girls standing.not as old as him, asked gently, "Are you two El's friends?"

It was not hard to see that Kuina, who was defeated in a split second, was already filled with curiosity about El.

Since childhood, Kuina has always been overwhelmed with dissatisfaction and sadness at her father's words that "the warrior woman will never become the number one swordsman in the world because of her physical strength."

Because of this, he continues to accept the zoro challenge that his father is optimistic about and defeats his junior younger brother, over and over again, just to prove to his father that girls won't lose to boys.

But now, Kuina suddenly understood her father's words.

The female swordsman might not be inferior to the male swordsman, as long as they did not meet a real monster.

Limited to Isshin Doho in Shimotsuki Kuina Village was probably the strongest of the younger generation.

But after leaving Shimotsuki Village, there were many swordsmen who were better than him.

El is one of them.

The swordsman master was eight years old and still did not have the guidance of a teacher, preferring self-development over the guidance of a teacher, so he chose to go overboard at the age of eight to take risks. Her previous statement had greatly surprised Kuina.

Going on an adventure to improve yourself?
