"Kuina?"
"Why does it sound like a girl's name?"
Nine-year-old Zoro, who came to challenge the dojo, was stunned, then saw a girl with blue-black short hair, not much older than him, walking over calmly.
This made little Zoro dissatisfied: "I'm here to challenge the dojo, not..."
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence.
A bamboo sword landed on little Zoro's neck.
11-year-old Kuina said calmly: "If this were a real sword, if we were enemies, you would be dead."
"...So fast."
Little Zoro was stunned, then grinned excitedly: "Now this is interesting. The neighboring village was too weak."
Kuina ignored him.
She sheathed her sword and turned to prepare.
"Let's go, I'll take you to choose a sword."
The more Koushirou looked at little Zoro, the more satisfied he was.
Although a bit arrogant, he was indeed more interesting than those other submissive students.
Very quickly.
Koushirou took Zoro to the training room. In the corner was a bamboo tube containing dozens of bamboo swords.
"Can I use any one?"
Zoro looked around and asked without raising his head.
Koushirou smiled and said: "As you wish."
"Pah."
Zoro spat out the leaf in his mouth, and to Koushirou's surprise, he grabbed nine bamboo swords at once.
Three in each hand.
The last three, held in his mouth.
"Nine swords?"
The other children were dumbfounded.
Each bamboo sword was much taller than nine-year-old Zoro.
A student said in confusion: "Does this guy think the more swords, the better?"
Another student said: "Looks like an idiot."
Hearing these words.
Little Zoro glared fiercely, instantly scaring many children.
"Interesting..."
Koushirou kept smiling.
Very quickly.
Kuina walked over holding a bamboo sword, standing calmly.
"Then, prepare to start."
Koushirou acted as the referee.
"..."
Zoro stood struggling with three bamboo swords in his mouth, but his eyes were determined.
"Salute the shrine!"
Koushirou led Zoro and Kuina to bow to the "shrine" hanging above.
"Bow to each other."
Hearing Koushirou's words, the two bowed to each other. A kendo match is a serious matter.
"Start!"
As the words fell.
Zoro assumed a fighting stance, clutching the nine bamboo swords tightly.
He is a man who defeated invincible opponents in the neighboring village; he must not lose to a girl.
Kuina was extremely calm.
Waving her hand casually, holding the bamboo sword with both hands.
"What is that guy doing..."
The children complained endlessly.
Not to mention the nine swords, just mention the height difference.
11-year-old Kuina was nearly two heads taller than 9-year-old Zoro. Especially since Zoro was bent over struggling to hold the nine swords, he looked even shorter.
This scene.
Was like an adult hitting a child.
Bang!
Kuina looked down at the green-haired brat in front of her and unceremoniously raised her sword to strike.
"Ah!"
Zoro screamed.
His whole body flew backward, and the nine bamboo swords scattered on the ground.
"D... Damn it..."
Zoro was completely confused; it was completely different from what he thought.
But Zoro never admitted defeat.
"Again!"
Zoro picked up two bamboo swords from the ground.
Assumed a two-sword style stance, full of fighting spirit.
"Oh?"
Koushirou narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised.
From the moment he grabbed nine swords, Koushirou saw that the other party hadn't learned any swordsmanship at all.
But now.
Standard movements. Kuina couldn't help asking: "You, did you learn two-sword style swordsmanship?"
"No, this is my first time holding a sword today!"
Zoro shouted back, not discouraged at all.
Hearing this sentence, Koushirou smiled again.
How could it not be surprising? Someone who has never touched a sword subconsciously has the posture of a swordsman.
"Damn it, I am strong, and I will definitely be stronger in the future!"
Looking at Kuina's calm eyes, Zoro put on a fierce expression.
"Can't, can't lose to a girl like this!"
"Ah!"
Zoro shouted.
Rushed up with two bamboo swords.
"Bang!"
Kuina struck Zoro's forehead fiercely with her sword, flipping him to the ground, his eyes rolling back.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Why didn't you dodge?"
The onlookers felt pain just watching.
Seeing this, Koushirou said: "1 point, stop here!"
Bang!
Kuina stuck her sword next to Zoro's head on the ground and said coldly: "This child is like a pig!"
"Hey, Kuina!"
Koushirou had a headache.
Saying this, aren't you afraid of discouraging this child?
Kuina continued: "Clearly a layman, playing with nine-sword style and two-sword style, ten years too early!"
"?!"
Lying on the ground, Zoro clutched Kuina's sword tightly, his eyes full of stubbornness.
Kuina said lightly: "What? That look, want to try again?"
"Stop nagging, I lost, I lost!"
Zoro stood up and glared at Kuina.
Good spirit. Koushirou squinted and said: "Decisive, not bad, then..."
Zoro glared at Koushirou again and shouted: "I'll join your sect, any objections?"
Willing to bet and admit defeat.
I, Zoro, never go back on my word.
"No objections."
Koushirou kept smiling.
Other children kept complaining, this green-haired brat is too arrogant, so arrogant even after losing.
Kuina ignored him, sheathed her sword and turned around.
Seeing Kuina about to leave, Zoro shouted: "I will train desperately, desperately, and desperately, and I will definitely defeat you, remember that!"
The whole place fell silent.
The children and students were even more stunned.
That's Kuina, a girl they couldn't even beat together.
Kuina turned her head, her tone flat: "There won't be such a day!"
After speaking, she turned and left.
"Damn it! I must defeat you!"
"Since I chose to use a sword, I will be the world's strongest swordsman!"
Zoro had never seen such an arrogant girl in his life, he must defeat her!
"Another child who wants to be the strongest?"
Koushirou felt inexplicably melancholic.
Two children with such strong personalities and refusal to admit defeat, difficult to handle.
Especially Kuina.
Always thinking about becoming the world's number one swordsman. In Koushirou's view.
Unrealistic dream.
Koushirou murmured: "Girls cannot become the world's number one swordsman."
At the same time.
Kuina, who had just walked out the door, couldn't help but lower her head and lean against the door frame, somewhat discouraged.
"Father, I heard it, I heard it again."
"I understand, I understood this kind of thing long ago."
"But, I'm unwilling."
Kuina looked down at her chest and squeezed it, "That guy just now is really lucky, because he is a boy."
"Unlike me, here begins to develop."
"If I, if I could also become a boy... I'm really unwilling."
The children in the room were stunned.
Kuina became more and more unwilling, her voice grew louder, and Zoro heard it all.
Koushirou just sighed.
"You beat me, don't say such things again!"
But Zoro roared angrily: "This is too despicable. You are the target I want to defeat. Men and women, when I beat you, will you say the same?"
Saying this, Zoro ran out, continuing to shout angrily: "Making it sound like I didn't win by strength. Wouldn't that make me, who decided to train desperately, look like an idiot!"
"Don't say such things again..."
Kuina froze in place.
"The first peer to defeat me, I acknowledge you!"
"Let's compete!"
Zoro looked up at Kuina, who was one or two heads taller than him, and said seriously: "Let's see who can become the world's number one swordsman!"
This child.
Koushirou looked complicated, somewhat blaming himself.
A child who just arrived at the dojo knew to encourage Kuina, but he struck Kuina again and again.
This father is too irresponsible.
"Which one is the surprise?"
"Is it this green-haired brat? Probably not, looks silly. It must be that girl."
At this time, a very curious and pleasant female voice came.
When the children looked over, they were all stunned.
A girl in a white long dress walked slowly from the distant sky, long hair fluttering, face exquisite.
The 15-year-old girl stepped on the air.
Descending like an angel.
Zoro was sluggish for a moment, then angry: "Damn it, are you talking about me? Where am I silly!"
Kuina said calmly: "Just said green-haired brat, didn't say you."
That's right.
Zoro relaxed.
But when Zoro scanned the audience and found that only his hair was green, he was instantly exasperated.
"Damn it, talking about me!"
"This kid is really a bit silly."
Amidst Hyuga Hanabi's light laughter, under everyone's astonishment, she crossed hundreds of meters in an instant, arriving two meters away from Kuina.
"Clang!"
The sound of a real sword unsheathing rang out.
Koushirou blocked Hyuga Hanabi with his sword horizontally, saying in a deep voice: "Too dangerous, please stay away from Kuina."
Whether walking from the sky.
Or crossing hundreds of meters instantly.
Before confirming the other party's true intentions, Koushirou would not let his daughter enter danger.
"Hmm?"
Hyuga Hanabi looked at Koushirou, sensing a good aura from him.
But it only proves the other party has some strength.
It doesn't prove the other party is a top-tier powerhouse.
Koushirou said gravely: "Who are you?"
Hyuga Hanabi said calmly: "I am from the Holy Empire, looking for His Majesty's surprise. Currently, it seems this little girl should be it."
?
Holy Empire?
The whole place exploded.
Even Kuina and Zoro widened their eyes, looking incredulous.
Seven years.
Enough to make some legends into myths.
Especially in the weakest East Blue, some people watching the live broadcast didn't understand why Hinata and the others were so strong. Under constant spread, the Holy Empire was rendered as the most terrifying existence.
That is a concentration of monsters.
Legends are too far away.
Suddenly appearing.
How could it not be shocking.
While everyone was sluggish.
Hyuga Hanabi looked at Kuina: "I heard it. Have to say your father's vision is too low and irresponsible."
"Who says women can't be the world's strongest?"
"Join the Empire, your future will far exceed your father's imagination!"
Kuina was somewhat茫然.
Koushirou smiled bitterly and lowered his sword.
"Even the people of the Empire say so, am I really wrong?"
What Kuina saw and heard.
The child with the strongest kendo talent.
But as she grows up.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of strength, the gap with men will only get bigger and bigger. How to compare?
Big Mom: Feeling offended!
Then.
Hyuga Hanabi looked at Koushirou, full of fighting spirit: "Before Kuina joins the Empire, let you see how strong the girls of the Empire are."
"Fight!"
