Chapter 21 Kuina Joins! Flying Slash!
"My purpose of coming here is not only to learn swordsmanship."
"I just want to see the real strong men in this sea!"
Al's goal is to be the strongest man in the sea, but his impression of the strong men in this sea is only vague memories of his previous life.
He knows which people are strong, but he has never seen them and has no idea how strong they are.
"Uncle Koshiro, you are a great swordsman, right?"
"Let me see the real strength of a great swordsman!"
"I didn't come here to play house."
Al's words made Koshiro stunned for a moment, and then he agreed with great appreciation.
"Al, you saved Kuina, I will naturally meet your request."
"But I will not and do not want to do anything to bully young people."
"After all, my main job is a swordsmanship teacher. I don't like things that suppress the confidence of young swordsmen."
"As a swordsman, especially a swordsman like you who is only twelve years old and can reach the level of cutting iron in just three days."
"You should be like a real famous sword, showing your edge. If you don't unsheathe, it's fine. If you unsheathe, it will definitely be a big hit!"
"This is a necessary stage on the road of kendo!"
"And the one who has reached the ultimate on this road of showing your edge is the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!"
"The murderous nature of his youth is far beyond what I can compare to."
Al quite agrees with Koshiro's words.
"I'll let you see the strength of a great swordsman."
"Also, if I'm not mistaken, you should plan to continue to go out to sea after challenging me, right?"
"That's right." Al did not deny, "I'm a pirate after all, and I can't stay in one place for too long."
Koshiro looked at Al, his eyes swept over Robin, Carina, and Nami, and made a bold decision.
"Al, I will let you comprehend the flying slash in the battle with me!"
"At the same time, I will also give you the training method of Haki!"
"However, when you leave, you must take Kuina with you to go out to sea!"
Koshiro's words stunned Al, and Kuina next to him was also a little confused.
"Originally I thought Kuina was still young and a girl, so she could just inherit my legacy."
"But now that I see you, I suddenly feel that it is much better for Kuina to follow you, the future world's greatest swordsman, rather than follow me, an unqualified father."
"Besides, to become a great swordsman, you have to go through a lot of things."
"If you hadn't taken action just now, I might have lost Kuina."
"At that moment, I suddenly figured it out. My daughter is so outstanding. As a father, I don't encourage her, but how can I undermine her confidence?"
"A swordsman should have extraordinary self-confidence!"
"My daughter Kuina, even if she can't become the world's greatest swordsman, can at least become one of the top three great swordsmen in the world!"
"I have undermined Kuina's confidence many times before. I am really not a qualified father."
Koshiro's words made Kuina's eyes widen, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"Kuina, believe in yourself, you will definitely become a female swordsman with a reputation that resounds throughout the sea!"
After getting the approval of her father, Kuina's long-standing obsession and inner demons disappeared, and her whole momentum changed a lot at this moment.
Kuina, who easily defeated Zoro two thousand times, finally stopped doubting herself, no longer hated herself for being a girl, and no longer wanted to become a boy.
With Al, she knew that she could not become the world's number one swordsman.
But as Koshiro said, she firmly believed that she could become the world's second-greatest swordsman in the future, only inferior to Al!
"A swordsman who has not experienced life and death battles cannot become the strongest."
"Shimotsuki Village is too comfortable, and it has limited Kuina's future."
"So, I want her to go to sea with you."
One of the purposes of Al coming here is to recruit Kuina as his crew.
But he didn't expect that Koshiro actually asked Kuina to go with him before he even opened his mouth.
"And, if I'm not mistaken, you thought about making Kuina a member of your crew after meeting her, right?"
"You want to kidnap my daughter, do you think I can't see it?"
"Hahaha~"
Al coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.
"Since you know everything, I will definitely agree."
"It depends on whether Kuina is willing."
"I do!" Kuina's eyes were burning, "I have wanted to go to sea for a long time, but my father has always disagreed."
"Only by going to sea can you become stronger!"
"That's no problem, welcome Kuina to join!"
Robin, Carina, and Nami have also known Kuina for a few days and are quite familiar with each other.
Father's understanding and expectation of going to sea swept away the haze in Kuina's heart.
"Now, let's go out and have a swordsman duel!"
"There is a saying among most swordsmen in the Grand Line."
"Only swordsmen who have mastered the flying slash can be considered swordsmen."
"Al, there is only one step between flying slash and cutting iron!"
"I'll help you cross this step!"
Al took a deep breath and went to the outside of Isshin Dojo with Koshiro.
In the realm of swordsmen on the sea, it is one realm to understand the breath of all things but not be able to cut iron, and it is another realm to be able to feel the breath of steel and cut it.
And above cutting iron, it is the realm of cutting the airflow and swinging the flying slash from a distance.
Before Al leaves Shimotsuki Village, Koshiro must use his own method to let Al master the flying slash as quickly as possible!
