Pirate's Rescue

When Itachi came to Frost Moon Village, Zoro was already learning swordsmanship at Koushiro's dojo. He challenged Kuina every day and was beaten badly. After losing, he practiced hard. Itachi was observing from the side and found Zoro. His endurance and perseverance are really stronger than many people.

"Tsk, tsk, this kid is not simple. With this crazy energy, no wonder he will achieve such achievements in the future. Even Mihawk doesn't work as hard as this kid!"

Itachi stood on the tree and looked at Zoro.

Kuina was also practicing hard where others could not see her. Zoro put more and more pressure on Kuina, forcing Kuina to practice hard in secret.

"The little girl's strength, potential, and talent are all good. It's just a pity that there's something wrong with Koushiro's teaching methods. Although women have obvious weaknesses compared to men, they also have advantages that men don't have. Let her advantages be brought out. , it’s not necessarily worse than men!”

Itachi looked at Kuina and commented.

Except for the occasional time when Itachi went out to perform some secret missions, he spent the rest of his time in Frost Moon Village observing the growth of the two little guys. Two years had passed and Zoro still couldn't defeat Kuina, but Zoro's growth was astonishing. Yes, the gap with Guina is getting closer and closer.

After Zoro lost to Kuina for the 2000th time, Zoro decided to use the real sword to fight Kuina in the final battle. Kuina lost her direction because of Koushiro's words and sat on the roadside in despair, crying. With.

"what are you doing here?"

Zoro held two knives and looked at Kuina and said.

"You are the one, why are you carrying two knives so late!"

Kuina wiped her tears and said.

"I'm here to fight you for the 2001st duel. This is the last duel. I want to fight you with a real sword. You have a real sword!"

Zoro looked at Kuina and said firmly.

"All right!"

Kuina went home to get Wado Ichimonji, and had a dangerous duel with Zoro who used the double sword style. The result was obvious that Zoro lost.

"Damn it, I'm so unwilling!"

Zoro lay on the ground and shouted unwillingly.

"I'm not willing to accept it. When girls grow up, they will be weaker than boys, and I will soon be caught up. Zoro also said, 'I want to become the strongest swordsman in the world!', but dad I said girls won’t become the strongest swordsmen!”

"Zoro is so good. He is a boy. I also want to be the strongest swordsman in the world. My body has begun to grow. If only I could be a boy!"

Kuina shed tears sadly.

"You have defeated me, so stop complaining. This is too despicable. You are my target! You are a man or a woman. When one day I defeat you, do you want to say the same thing? ! It’s like I don’t practice hard, so I’m like an idiot for training so hard!”

"Don't say such things again. Promise me that one day, either I or you will become the strongest swordsman in the world. Let's see who can become the strongest swordsman!"

Zoro stretched out his hand and looked at Kuina and said.

"Fool!"

Kuina was moved by Logan's words and stretched out her hand to hold Sauron's hand.

"It's agreed!"

Itachi knew that it was not long before Kuina had an accident, so he stayed nearby.

Kuina became determined because of Zoro's words. She trained harder every day and gradually broke the barrier of female swordsmen. But one night, Kuina fell down the stairs while trying to get a whetstone. Come down.

"Uh-huh!"

Itachi appeared and caught Kuina.

"Little girl, are you okay?"

Itachi said looking at Kuina who was still in a panic state.

"Ah, thank you! If it weren't for you, I might be in danger."

Kuina reacted and hurriedly bowed to Itachi and said, "It was so close. If she died because of this accident, then the agreement with Zoro would not be fulfilled."

"It's okay. You must be more careful next time."

Itachi said with a smile.

"Uncle, are you also a swordsman?"

Kuina asked, looking at the sword on Itachi's waist.

"Well, that's right."

Itachi nodded.

"Uncle, can I ask you a question?"

Kuina hesitated and looked at Itachi and asked.

"What's the question? Ask it."

"Uncle, do you think a woman can become the strongest swordsman?"

"The strongest swordsman? Is this your goal?"

"Well, I want to be the strongest swordsman, but my father told me that girls can't become the strongest swordsmen. Girls can never catch up with boys. I'm so unwilling to say that I can never become the strongest swordsman! "

Kuina said sadly.

"Not necessarily. Women can also be the strongest. Is strength really related to gender? Not necessarily. There are many strong women in this world. The key is to see your own choice."

Itachi said with a smile.

"Uncle, do you really think so?"

Kuina asked as she looked at Itachi in surprise.

"Yes, women are inferior to men in many ways, such as differences in strength, physical strength, and speed."

As Itachi spoke, the light in Kuina's eyes became weaker and weaker.

"However, women also have advantages that men do not have. For example, women's bodies are more flexible, women's endurance is better than men, and women's ability to withstand stress is higher than men. These are women's advantages!"

Itachi's turn of events gave Kuina hope again.

"Uncle, how do you think a girl can become the strongest swordsman?"

Kuina looked at Itachi hopefully.

"Little girl, as long as you practice extreme speed, you will be able to take advantage of the opponent before they take action. If you take the advantage in the battle, you will have won half the battle."

Itachi explained.

"Extremely fast? Uncle, how can I do it?"

Kuina asked eagerly.

"Want to learn?"

Itachi looked at Kuina with a smile and asked, this is the purpose of his coming here.

"Well, uncle, please teach me!"

Kuina knelt down and begged.

"Okay, come with me!"

Itachi turned around and left. Kuina was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and followed.

Kuina followed Itachi into the woods.

"Uncle, what are we doing here?"

Kuina asked as she looked at her surroundings.

"Before training, let me ask you first, what do you think is the most important thing for a swordsman?"

Itachi asked, turning to look at Kuina.

"The most important thing to a swordsman? It should be the sword, right?"

Kuina asked uncertainly.

"Sword? Is this what you think? But in my opinion, the sword is not the most important thing to a swordsman, the most important thing is your heart and your will! For me, anything can become a sword , like this grass, it is grass to you, but it is a sword to me!"

Itachi randomly pulled out a piece of grass and handed it to Kuina.

"Grass? How can it become a sword, uncle!"

Kuina looked at Itachi in disbelief.

"Don't you believe it? When your swordsmanship reaches a certain level, the sword will be everywhere. The powerful sword energy and sword intention can turn anything into a sword!"

Itachi took the grass, and Kuina immediately felt an astonishing sword intent that she had never felt before coming from Itachi's body.

"Watch carefully!"

Itachi gently shook the grass with the sword intent away.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The seemingly weak grass turned into the sharpest sword and cut off the trees in the row in front, and finally was inserted into a stone and disappeared. Kuina was stunned for a moment!
