Chapter 277: Girl, why does she want to take all the villagers with her to die?
"There is no such saying." In response to Guina's question, Zhang Da answered very straightforwardly.
"Only talent and hard work, and perhaps a little bit of luck, can determine a person's future success, but the slight advantage or disadvantage caused by gender differences does not play a decisive role."
"Really?" Kuina asked expectantly. Although she had made an agreement with Zoro yesterday, what her father said was still a knot in her heart.
Before this, Koshiro was the most knowledgeable person in the village, and his words were authoritative. But now, these people from the Grand Line are the authority, giving Kuina new hope.
Koshiro looked confused. Did Kuina care about this so much? If you aim to be the world's number one, you will have a hard time.
Zhang Da didn't understand Koshiro's feelings as a father, so he said directly:
"Of course. For example, the strongest person in our tour group is Altria, the great pirates Charlotte Linlin and Boa Hancock, and the outstanding admirals in the navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru and Vice Admiral Gion. They are all women, and they are also very strong people."
“It is so!” Zoro, who had just suffered a huge blow, perked up, “Kuina, next time you are defeated by me, don’t think of using this excuse again!”
Kuina was amused by Zoro: "Don't brag. My record against you is 2001 wins and 0 losses. I won't let you down."
"Humph, I've already thought of a way to beat you!" Zoro vowed, "If two swords don't work, then three. From today on, I'm going to practice the Three Swords Style!"
"Three swords style, that sounds awesome." Kuina teased, "I remember someone used nine bamboo swords when he first came to challenge the dojo. What is that, the secret of the Nine Swords Style?"
Zoro's face flushed. He didn't know anything at that time. He simply thought that the more swords he had, the more powerful he was. So he held three swords in his left hand, three swords in his right hand, and three swords in his mouth. At that moment, he discovered the biggest problem - he would speak incoherently with three swords in his mouth.
Zoro had no way to refute his past embarrassment, so he could only stiffen his neck and say, "No matter what, I will definitely become the world's greatest swordsman!"
"You have great ambition! In that case, I have something here that you will definitely like, so let me show it to you." Zhang Da also took out a box from the inventory. After opening it, Qiu Shui, Mu Ku and Ying Shi were lying quietly inside.
Zoro's eyes were attracted by the three famous swords: "This is..."
Kuina didn't know much, but she felt that the quality of these swords was no worse than her own Wado Ichimonji.
Koshiro stared at Qiu Shui, so surprised that he was speechless.
Zhang Daye introduced: "This is the sword of the legendary swordsman Ryoma who killed a flying dragon, the black sword Shusui. And these two are the swords of the great pirate Golden Lion, Moku and Yingju."
"Amazing!" Now not only Zoro, but also the other disciples who were originally struggling to figure out where Zhang Da got the box from, stared at the three famous swords with shining eyes:
Everyone speculated quietly: "When Zoro said he wanted to practice the three-sword style, he took out three famous swords. Could it be that he was going to..."
Zoro was also a little excited. Did he recognize my dreams and path?
Zhang Da also picked up the Qiu Shui and pulled it out with a clang, showing everyone the black blade and red serrated pattern.
Then he sheathed the knife neatly, closed the box, and put it back into the inventory.
The disciples of the dojo, including Zoro, stumbled and almost fell, and shouted in unison:
"Put it away...Put it away!"
Zhang Da also asked in confusion: "Ah? Is there any problem with putting it away?"
An impatient disciple asked, "No, no, you took out the three famous swords when Zoro talked about his dream. Aren't you giving them to Zoro?"
Zhang Da said as a matter of course: "No, didn't I say that before I took the knife? Show him."
"It turns out that we are just taking a look!" *n
The disciples in the dojo complained loudly.
Zhang Da also nodded and said, "Otherwise, if I sell the Golden Lion's sword, I will smash the head of anyone who dares to bid less than 10 million.
And there is Qiu Shui. There are only two known black swords in the world. The other one is in the hands of the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk. How could he just give it away so easily? "
"It... is it so precious?" The disciples did not dare to mention anything about giving away the sword anymore. It was already an honor to see with their own eyes the black swords that only had two in the world. Although they did not know what a black sword was, they could brag about it for a long time.
"If you want a famous sword, then become stronger, then earn money to buy it, or steal it from pirates. There are countless famous swords in the world that are in the hands of evil people."
Zhang Da also touched little Zoro's head. His hair was prickly and felt average, not as good as Perona and Wendy, and even worse than Tom's.
"I understand, I will get my own sword!" In fact, Zoro didn't know much about famous swords, so he didn't know what he missed. He was more concerned about something else.
Kuina asked for him: "You just mentioned the world's greatest swordsman. Have you ever seen him?"
"Yes, I have." Zhang Da also glanced at Tom. Hawkeye also gave Tom a black wide-brimmed hat. He didn't pay attention at the time and didn't know if there was dandruff in it.
Kuina pressed on, "So, how strong is that person?"
"In fact, it's just barely okay." Zhang Da also pointed at Tom: "I can fight Tom for dozens of rounds without losing."
Tom straightened his back cooperatively. He felt that his master was exaggerating. In fact, the man's swordsmanship was still very strong.
Kuina and Zoro had dazed looks on their faces, while the other disciples were all laughing. Especially when they saw Tom seriously putting on his clothes and taking out his rapier, they laughed even more happily.
He was so happy that he didn't even have time to think about where Tom got his clothes from.
One of them couldn't help but say, "Hahaha... Stop kidding, Mr. Tatsuya! Haha... It was just a cat. It fought for dozens of rounds. Could the world's number one swordsman be a mouse?"
If the mouse who can fight Tom for dozens of rounds really comes, I'm afraid the world will end. And I will tell Hawkeye about your words if I have a chance. To be honest, no one believes it.
Zhang Daye said helplessly: "Well, Altria once competed with Hawkeye, but they were interrupted by some people, so there was no winner."
This statement sounds much more credible than the dozens of rounds of battle between Tom and Hawkeye. Everyone looked at Altria. After all, this girl is more reliable than the cat... right?
Where did she get the snack from? Why did she eat it so fast? Could her hair have become self-aware? She noticed we were staring at her but she ate the last bite without batting an eyelid, even sucking her fingers!
Can this girl really fight Hawkeye to a draw?
Altria tilted her head slightly, "What's going on?"
Kuina hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, "Ms. Altria, please give me some advice!"
…
Kuina drew out the Wado Ichimonji, and Artoria stood opposite her, holding the Sword of Promised Victory.
Others were not surprised at how the sword appeared in her hand. Just like Zhang Da took out the sword box and Tom took out the swordsman suit, it was probably a common thing to take something out of thin air...
Kuina attacked Artoria with all her might, but Artoria simply used the tip of her sword to gently deflect Kuina's sword while constantly commenting on her.
"The moves are pretty good, but they are a bit rigid. The speed and strength need to be improved. I don't have enough practical experience..."
As someone who had taught Zhang Tatsuya and Rui Mengmeng swordsmanship from scratch, Altria felt that she was already very good at instructing beginners in swordsmanship, and could easily point out all of Kuina's problems.
The disciples in the dojo were amazed, but Tom just felt bored, so he found a disciple who was watching the fight and tugged at his clothes as if he wanted to have a fight.
The disciple politely approached Zhang Tatsuya and said, "Mr. Tatsuya, look at your cat..."
Zhang Da also looked at Tom's expectant expression and said, "Oh, if you don't mind, please play a little sword fighting with him. It doesn't matter if you hurt him."
"Is that so?" The lucky disciple found a sword and started to compete with Tom.
A few seconds later, Tom found the second person...
Kuina used all the moves she knew, but Altria often only needed to use the tip of her sword to make her attacks non-threatening.
Kuina even felt like she was fighting against a sword. Even if she tried her best, she couldn't hurt the opponent at all.
"Physical strength also needs to be strengthened." Altria remembered that when Zhang Daya's swordsmanship reached this level, his physical strength was already far beyond that of ordinary people, but the physical strength of Kuina in front of her seemed to be a little lacking.
"Thank you for your guidance, huh..." Kuina thought she had understood the gap between herself and the world's strongest. "Please use all your strength to defeat me!"
Pfft... Girl, are you trying to drag the whole village with you? Zhang Da also winked at Altria, signaling her not to be too exaggerated.
Altria also felt that Kuina might have misunderstood something, full strength or something... She had no grudges against the people on this island.
Swish! A huge golden slash flew diagonally over Kuina's head, passed through the big tree in the yard, and flew into the sky.
Kuina and Zoro widened their eyes and turned around to see the crown of the big tree in the yard sliding down along the oblique cut. The golden slash flew farther and farther, cutting through the low-lying clouds.
Zoro was shocked and said, "Is this the best slash in the world? A flying slash that can even cut through the clouds... Is it really something that humans can do?"
After being shocked, Kuina blushed a little. She actually said that she wanted Altria to defeat her with all her strength. It was too presumptuous of her to do so.
Koshiro was worried. He was confident in Kuina and Zoro's will, but he was worried about whether it was really a good idea to let other children see this level of swordsmanship so early.
However, he was overthinking it. This super-powerful slash that was rarely seen in the East China Sea actually only attracted the attention of the three of them. The other disciples were watching the competition between Tom and an adult disciple with their trousers held up.
After Zhang Da confirmed that Altria did not directly tear down the gym, he also looked towards Tom.
Tom thrust out a sword like lightning, and Perona, Wendy and Xia Lulu immediately covered their eyes reflexively.
Because as Tom moved, the opponent's belt immediately broke, and his pants fell to the ground, revealing his big underpants and two hairy legs.
The unlucky disciple was stunned for two seconds, looked down, and widened his eyes: "When!"
Then he threw away the sword in his hand, pulled up his trousers and stood with many of his fellow brothers who also had their trousers pulled up.
"Brother Musashi, I didn't expect that you would lose too."
"Yeah, Kojiro, is this how you all get defeated?"
"That's right. No one can survive a single blow from that cat."
Tom put his hands on his hips and looked around, finally locking his eyes on Koshiro. It seemed that he was the only one left in the dojo who had not been defeated yet.
Koshiro waved his hand quickly: "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't accompany you."
Just kidding, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his daughter and many disciples.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk…” Tom smacked his lips and shook his head, feeling quite like the loneliness of a master.
Kuina and Zoro finally figured out what was going on and looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that the cat had really fought with Hawkeye?
Without an opponent, Tom ran to Xia Lulu, performed a sword dance, and struck a handsome pose, wanting to hear Xia Lulu's comment.
Xia Lulu blushed a little, and said with her hands on her hips, "It's amazing, but your moves are terrible. You deliberately took off someone's pants... What if Wendy sees something bad?"
Tom was smiling at first, then looked dejected. It seemed that his attempt to show off was successful but also unsuccessful. It was a difficult situation.
Zhang Da also touched Tom's head and decided to help him out: "Tom's moves are actually not bad. Isn't there a guy named Gray in your guild who takes off his clothes when he disagrees with something?"
"Eh? This, that..." Wendy and Xia Lulu both blushed. Has Gray's bad reputation spread to the other world? How embarrassing.
…
At dinner time, Koshiro enthusiastically tried to keep the Amber Travel Group, and Zhang Da had no choice but to agree.
Isshin Gym is relatively wealthy on this island , so as long as they don't eat like they did when they harmed Kizaru's warship, there won't be much of a problem.
During the meal, Koshiro found Zhang Da and asked about the origin of the Black Knife Qiu Shui.
Zhang Da also said frankly: "Qiu Shui, it was snatched from a tomb robber. Have you heard of it before?"
Perona puffed up her cheeks and said in front of her that Lord Moria was a tomb robber or something. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was no way to refute it. Perona was deflated. Recently, she has become more and more aware that what she did before was wrong.
"Nothing, I just heard my father mention that Qiu Shui was a national treasure of a certain country. I didn't expect that he would be lost outside now."
Koshiro didn't say anything else. He was born in the East China Sea and had no sense of belonging to Wano Country. Since Zhang Da was also snatched from tomb robbers, it was not his turn to advise whether to return it or not.
Zhang Da followed up the conversation and asked, "Who is your father?"
