...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"very..remarkable! is this father strong?"
Due to the previous strong wind, Kuina and the others were some distance away from El and her father, at the same time Koushirou deliberately controlled her own voice, so neither Kuina nor Zoro heard her voice.
In their eyes, after El stopped his attack, they did not know what the two of them said to each other but El rushed towards Koushirou again.
Then in the next second, Koushirou easily cut off El's sword.
they didn't know if it was an illusion, but they seemed to see the sword in Koushirou's hand change color in an instant.
"Nii-san, are you okay?"
Different from zoro.
Carina and Nami ran to the side after seeing El put away his broken sword, with slightly worried expressions on their faces.
Kuina did not know what she was thinking, but she also subconsciously walked behind the two girls, looking at El who was not desperate because of defeat, but had a satisfied expression on her face.
"I'm fine..."
Taking advantage of her height, El touched the heads of Carina and Nami, nodded to Kuina, and then bowed to Koushirou again: "Senior, thank you very much for your guidance this time, but. .. ... Next time I come, I will definitely not lose as badly as now."
With the last sentence, El lifted his head and gave Koushirou a promise with a serious expression on his face.
"I'm looking forward to that day." Koushirou replied with a smile.
"Then let's say goodbye."
El takes Carina and Nami and passes through Kuina.
As it passed, El clearly felt the girl's body suddenly freeze.
Hearing this, El smiled silently in his heart.
It seems that his trip to Shimotsuki Village will really be appreciated.
The reason why Kuina's body became stiff naturally could not escape El's ability.
Therefore, El had a very strong understanding to change the fate of this girl.
Perhaps, you don't need to do it yourself, the other party will automatically send himself to your own door.
really am...
Not long after the three left, Zoro ran to Koushirou and asked excitedly about the battle earlier, but Kuina suddenly turned around and ran towards where the three were going.
Looking at his daughter's back, Koushirou's narrowed eyes suddenly shone with a bright light.
"...Waita minute!"
Outside the dojo, El plans to take Carina and Nami to rent a hotel and plans to stay here for a few days.
Behind the three, there was suddenly the sound of Kuina screaming.
Turning around, she saw Kuina from afar running in front of the three, She did not know if it was due to running or some other reason, her face was slightly red, and her voice even slightly trembled over her "That ... are you going to get out of here now?"
"Yes, what's wrong with you?"
El smiled slightly and lied without blinking.
Hearing this, Kuina's face showed a hint of panic, and asked worriedly: "Are you going to continue taking risks at sea?"
"of course..."
El nodded and said without hiding: "Actually, we are bounty hunters. While searching for the target, we will challenge the more famous Dojo in East Blue to increase my strength."
"hunting and challenging, is this how you improve?"
Kuina's beautiful eyes sparkled then she seemed to have finally gathered her courage, and said in a trembling voice: "That, I... May I join you?"
"...You sure?"
El looked at Kuina suspiciously and said, "You're so young, will senior allow you to get out of the sea?"
"I'll convince my father!"
After revealing her inner thoughts, Kuina returned to her usual appearance, looked at El with a serious expression, and said, "Please give me a chance and let me go overboard with you.
El looked at Kuina deeply, then took Carina and Nami away, leaving only a vague sentence: "We'll be leaving from the dock at seven tomorrow morning."
"I'll definitely go!"
Kuina shouted firmly towards her third back.
...
Kuina ended Zoro's 1,887th challenge, and even dropped it into the air.
"Zoro you lose again."
Looking at Zoro who was sitting on the ground with a reluctant expression, Kuina 'thoused' with a breath of breath and said, "Rush up, you can't beat me."
"hatred!"
Zoro stood up, took the two bamboo swords and looked at Kuina and said unconvincingly, "Kuina, just wait, next time I will definitely win!"
After speaking, Zoro immediately ran out of the dojo, heading towards his secret headquarters to continue the practice.
Seeing her departure, Kuina's smiling face gradually covered in a layer of mist.
Although he won, but.
In just a few years, Zoro has mastered himself from a complete novice.
On the other hand, his strength had not increased much since he had defeated Zoro from the very beginning.
If he does not continue to develop, with Zoro's talent and his identity as a man, he will surpass him sooner or later.
"Sorry Zoro... This might be our last duel." Kuina muttered to herself.
...
At night, in the dojo's meditation room.
"... is that your decision?"
Koushirou, who was sitting on the futon, narrowed his eyes while looking at Kuina, who was kneeling in front of him with a sword on her lap and asked with a serious face.
"Yes, dad."
Kuina looked directly at Koushirou and said with a serious face: "I want to join their group, adventure with them, challenge the dojo and swordsmen around the world, he said, and prove to you that even a girl can be world number one.swordsman."
“But you should know that the outside world is very dangerous and full of deceit.”.
If Kuina wanted to go to sea alone, Koushirou would definitely refuse cruelly.
But today, he saw El's talent and strength.
At the age of eight, he was a swordsman who could use flying slashes, and he also mastered observation haki, one of the three types of haki.
Coupled with his physique that was incompatible with his age, El's strength, even in the first half of the grand line, became an extremely dazzling star.
In East Blue, as long as they did not meet those lowly masters, even the disciples trained by the strongmen, few people would be El's opponents.
Therefore, after Koushirou heard that Kuina wanted to follow El away to the sea, she did not resist cruelly.
sure is...
As a father, he still wanted to remind Kuina how dangerous the outside world was.
In this case, Kuina's stern demeanor did not waver at all, saying: "If I fail, I will,
"Because it's your choice, do it."
As a descendant of the Dragon Slayer, the Shimotsuki clan had a true warrior soul.
Although she was actually worried in her heart, Koushirou remained calm on the surface, and nodded, agreeing to Kuina's request.
"...Thank you dad!"
Kuina did not expect that this time she would get her father's approval.
He thought his father would ruthlessly refuse, or even reprimand him.
He's already made a plan. If his father refused, then he would return to his room and leave a letter, then secretly run to meet El and the others.
Now that she had the support of her father, Kuina's eyes were filled with excitement.
If it wasn't for his strong character, then,
"Go back and pack your things..."
Looking at her moved daughter, Koushirou had mixed feelings in her heart, but on the surface she said softly, "Wait in my room, I have something for you."
"Yes, my father!"
Kuina nodded excitedly.
