One Piece: My Spirit

The 2001st match between Kuina and Sauron, Shire and Marilou have been watching not far away, and at the same time, they also know that this is an opportunity to untie Kuina's long-standing knot.

Kuina has always had such a strong and strong character, which is largely inseparable from this heart knot. She is also happy for her now that Shire has been untied, but what may happen next is what Shire needs to focus on guarding against.

But at this moment, Marilou, who was in Charles' arms, suddenly jumped out and ran towards Guina. Charles, who didn't want to show up at first, had no choice but to go out together.

But when Kuina saw Marilou, she looked around subconsciously, and sure enough, Shire had also come.

"lilulilu~"

At this time, Marilou stretched out her small hand and rubbed against Kuina's face. When she saw Kuina crying and suffering, she wanted to rush out, but she was stopped by Shire.

After seeing Marilou's heart-warming behavior, Guina also put her face on Marilou's body: "Thank you, Marilou."

Marilu smiled while stroking Kuina's hair: "lilulu~"

"Charles, have you seen it all?" Kuina wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at Charles.

Charles nodded, glanced at Sauron before saying, "Guina, it's really great that you can untie this knot of heart that has been going on for so many years."

After hearing what Charles said, Kuina was stunned, her face turned slightly red as if she had thought of something, and then she looked at Charles with a complicated expression:
"You already knew?"

Charles didn't speak, but also sat on the grass, looked at the full moon hanging in the sky and smiled, "Isn't it good now?"

Then Charles looked into Kuina's eyes and said seriously: "I miss Master Koshiro. Actually, I've always been afraid."

Before Charles could finish speaking, Guina said in a low voice: "Actually, I also know that my father is actually afraid of the pain of losing his mother like he did back then. Therefore, before I become the number one swordsman in the world, I absolutely cannot die!"

"It's good that you understand, and I absolutely will."

But at this moment, a discordant voice interrupted Ciel's words.

"Hey, Charles, let me ask you a question!"

Sauron also sat next to Charles and continued: "Char, Guina and I both aim to be the world's number one swordsman, so what about you?"

"Does it matter?"

Facing Charles' rhetorical question, Sauron looked into Charles' eyes seriously: "It's very important! If you also want to become the world's number one swordsman, then I will definitely knock you down!"

At this time, Kuina was also holding Marilou and sitting next to Charles, as if she also wanted to know this question very much.

"Guina, do you want to know too?"

Kuina nodded after hesitating for a while, Charles stroked her chin and said:

"Actually, I haven't thought much about this question, but after listening to your conversation just now, I suddenly have a goal."

"My goal is to become the third swordsman in the world! What do you think of this, haha"

After hearing about Shire's goal of being the 'No. [-] in the world', Sauron was almost pissed off: "What! Shire, you have no ambition!"

"Really? I think 'the third in the world' is pretty good. Do you think it's Marilou?"

"lilu~lilu!"

"You see, even Marilou agrees! Then it's decided. My goal is to become the world's third swordsman."

However, Sauron was still very dissatisfied with such an unambitious goal of Charles. Charles pinched Sauron's face:

"You bastard, you can't even beat me now, so don't tell me what to do here, but you can't beat anyone in your current two-sword style, you have to reflect on yourself."

"Damn it! Let's fight it out now, Charles!"

"No, I'm not feeling well today, next time."

"What! You said the same thing last time!"

Compared to the fight between Sauron and Ciel, Kuina on the side seemed a little quiet. When Ciel said that she became the "world's third swordsman", Guina was a little surprised at first, and she didn't understand what Ciel meant.

But when Kuina saw the shadows of the three of them under the moonlight at this time, she suddenly understood another layer of meaning in Charles' words, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Huh? What's the matter, Kuina?"

Hearing Kuina's sudden laughter, Charles looked at Kuina suspiciously.

Guina put her chin on Marilou, smiled and said to Charles, "I just think you are very gentle, don't you, Marilou."

"Lilu! Lilu!"

After Kuina opened up her heart last night, she seemed to have improved a lot in the way of swordsmanship, and Sauron also experienced some changes. I don’t know if she was stimulated by Charles’ words last night, and she actually started to practice with three bamboo swords today!
It seems that after feeling that the two-knife style could not defeat Kuina and Ciel, Sauron decided to find another way, which made Ciel feel dumbfounded. Is this a crooked attack?
And in the past six months, Shire's 'pass line' conjecture has finally been verified. As expected, he can still improve after the 'basic fencing lv10', but it took Shire half a year to reach lv11.

Day after day of boring training, training in swinging swords, lifting feet, strength, physical fitness, etc., finally raised to lv11, but it also laid a solid foundation for Shire, and swinging swords became more and more handy. Before every small sapling grows into a towering tree, it must have enough deep roots and accumulation. Shire is in such a state now.

In addition to the 'Iai Slash' obtained from the system, when Shire and Kuina, Zoro, and Koshiro are now practicing duels, they all use the most basic skills of swordsmanship, such as chopping, stabbing, cutting, and teasing.
And this may be the reason why Koshiro only taught everyone the basics and never taught sword skills. At the same time, compared with sword skills, Koshiro taught everyone more about his kendo concept. Compared with the inheritance of one move and one style, he obviously paid more attention to the inheritance of the spiritual core.

At the same time, there is another thing that Charles attaches great importance to!

In the original plot, Kuina died unexpectedly at the age of 11, some time after Sauron and Kuina's 2001 duel.

Therefore, since last night's duel under the moon, Marilou has stayed by Kuina's side almost every day, and the same is true for Shire, trying to keep Kuina within sight of him, and even Kuina and Sauron felt strange about this behavior, but Shire didn't explain the reason, and this kind of thing can't be explained at all.

And in the doubts of everyone, another year passed unknowingly, and the expected accident seemed to have not happened as usual because of Shire's intervention, but it was not until a certain day in 1514.
