One Piece: My Spirit

"Dragon! You came so slowly. Where did you go today? Don't you know that there are a lot of navies in the waters around here?!"

Ivankov couldn't help complaining when he saw the dragon finally appear, but soon he also found the seriously injured child in his arms, and then asked others to rush to help treat the child.

Regarding Ivankov's complaints, Monkey D. Long just apologized lightly: "I'm sorry, I went to visit the ceremony of the world's nobles."

"Huh?" Ivankov naturally knew that today was the day when the Tianlong people visited the Kingdom of Goa, and it was for this reason that there were so many naval patrols in the recent period.

Therefore, when Ivankov heard that the dragon was so adventurous, he couldn't help saying angrily: "Dragon, why did you go to such a dangerous place by yourself without telling me!"

Long just replied lightly: "With you here, it will only be more conspicuous."

Ivankov touched his face subconsciously after hearing Long's words, but Long ignored Ivankov's small movements, but looked gloomyly at the distant sea and said:
"Even such a young child can understand how rotten and hopelessly hopeless this country is, and this country is a microcosm of the future of this world! In this world of survival of the fittest, happiness will never stop.

Now the time is ripe, we must gather strength immediately!One day, we will change the world! "

After hearing Long's words, everyone on the deck was silent, and then Long looked at Ivankov: "How about the food?"

"The ashram in the village gave us some, enough to survive this time."

Long nodded and looked in the direction of Yixin Dojo in Shuangyue Village, and then said: "Then let's go back to Baldige!"

After experiencing the battle last night, Charles found that Sauron seemed to be stimulated, so he got up early the next day to start training.

But for someone like Zoro with such strong self-esteem, when he faced the bear last night, it was not a fight at all, it was more like playing house with a child.

On the contrary, Charles is a little concerned about Kuina, because last night, Charles discovered that Kuina's state seemed a little abnormal.

In the evening tea time, there were only Sauron and Shire. Sauron felt a little uncomfortable today that Kuina didn't come, so he looked at Shire with doubts: "Shire, why didn't you see Kuina for training today?"

Charles took a sip of tea leisurely, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Kuina went to the back mountain today."

"Back Mountain?"

"Well, Kuina seems to be worshiping her mother. I heard Assistant Teacher Kazuhiko mention that Kuina's mother died of illness when she was very young." Charles said softly.

"Oh"

Zoro originally planned to trouble Kuina, but when he heard what Charles said, he lowered his head and responded in a low voice.

After being silent for a while, Sauron suddenly said: "Charles, those people last night were so strong."

Although it was only a brief fight, Sauron could clearly feel how terrifying that man with the shape of a giant bear was, and he was not even qualified to be his opponent.

"What? Are you afraid?"

Charles originally wanted to tease Sauron, but he didn't expect that Sauron did not immediately refute like he did when he faced Guina before. Instead, he thought for a while and said:
"No, I just suddenly feel that the world is so big! I feel very excited!"

As Sauron said, he was still clutching his heart: "So I didn't fall asleep all night last night. The feeling of excitement is really. Really."

Speaking of the latter, Sauron didn't know how to express it, but Charles took a deep look at Sauron, who was only 8 years old at the time: "It's yearning."

After hearing what Charles said, Sauron's eyes lit up: "That's right! It's yearning! I feel very excited when I think that I will defeat them and become the most powerful swordsman in the world!"

"Ha ha."

After hearing the words of Sauron, who is now only 8 years old, Ciel can only say, Sure enough, it is indeed Sauron!
"But Sauron, you guys are too ambitious. Now you can't even beat Guina and me. Let's think about the present first, haha."

"Hmph! Whether it's Shire, you or Kuina, I will defeat you sooner or later!" Sauron still likes such an "arrogant" declaration of war, so it is naturally impossible for Shire and Kuina to show mercy in a duel.

However, Sauron saw that Kuina was not here today, so he asked Charles a question that he had always wanted to ask:

"Charles, I want to ask you a question. When you practiced against Kuina, didn't you use your full strength?"

Zoro can actually feel that Charles's attitude when facing Kuina is fundamentally different from that of himself or Master Koshiro, and he always feels an unusual sense of disobedience.

"Huh?" Charles didn't expect Sauron to have vicious eyes, but he didn't intend to hide it, so he nodded slightly.

"Why! Aren't you insulting Kuina by doing this?! Since you have picked up the sword, you should go all out! You are not a real swordsman at all!"

Sauron seemed to be very angry with Ciel's actions, even more angry than when he lost to Guina!
Sauron's angry voice even attracted Marilou, who was watering the little pumpkins in the field, as if wondering why the two had a quarrel?

However, Charles didn't feel angry because of Sauron's words. Instead, he looked directly into Sauron's eyes and asked seriously:
"So... Sauron, let me ask you a question, will your sword be directed at your family? Will you take the sword and go all out against your family?"

"I"

For a while, Sauron was also caught by Charles' question. He couldn't say what was in his throat, but Charles continued:
"For me, Kuina is my family! No matter what other people think of her, I always regard her as my younger sister. No matter what, I can't do my best for Kuina. At the same time... I will never let anyone hurt her!"

Sauron didn't seem to expect that Charles would give such an answer, but then he seemed to think of something, and said unconvinced: "Then why are you going all out for me!"

"Haha. Because you're just a brat, you don't need to be merciful when dealing with brats!"

"Damn it! You're the brat! Charles, let's have a showdown now!"

"No, I'm tired today, yawn, I'm going to bed!"

"No! Hey, hey, stop!"

At this moment, Marilou's ears moved suddenly, and she looked suspiciously at a huge black pine not far away. When Marilu came to the back of the black pine, she tilted her head and saw Kuina who was hugging her legs and curled up under the tree.

"lilu~lilu?"

Kuina rubbed her rosy eyes, then sniffed and touched Marilou's hands and said with a smile:

"I'm fine, Marilou, it's just that there's sand in my eyes, and...don't tell Charles!"
