Start your adventure from Pirate World

"I want to learn swordsmanship from you!"

"what?"

Guina's request was so sudden that both of them were a little surprised, especially Noel who was asked.

Seeing that Guina didn't look like she was joking, Noel asked:

"Why do you think that way?"

Guina replied:

"After you gave me some guidance before, I had a vague idea.

In the past few days, I have been thinking about this matter, and finally made this decision after some careful consideration. "

"Isn't this good? What do you think, Noel?"

Wuming came back to his senses and smiled excitedly, looking at Noel expectantly.

Personally speaking, she certainly hopes that her good friend Guina can take risks with them, but she doesn't think much about other things, such as Guina's current strength and the dangers from the outside world.

"Okay, it seems like it wasn't an impulsive idea."

Noel pinched his chin and showed a clear expression.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Noel had no time to think about it, so he just asked matter-of-factly:

"But why me?"

"To be honest, even though we have never fought against each other, your father's strength cannot be underestimated. Your current strength is not beyond the scope of his teaching ability, right?

By the way, if that's the case, then I probably can't teach you anything. "

After hearing Noel's words, Guina's heart was not shaken. She seemed to have been prepared for it. She said:

"That may be true, but I have already thought clearly that my father's swordsmanship is not suitable for me."

She looked down at her chest, which had begun to grow, and said:

"I have been practicing swordsmanship hard since I was a child, and I have always been the strongest person in the sword hall, but my father has always been dissatisfied with me."

"Although he never said it in front of me, I gradually understood that in my father's eyes, as a girl, I was destined not to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

Noel also knew something about this incident, but when Guina talked about it now, there was no unwillingness or frustration on her face.

She went on.

For a long time after that, she practiced hard to prove that she was no worse than the boys. This was indeed the case. She was the strongest in the entire gym, and even adults couldn't beat her——

Until Sauron appeared.

Although Sauron had never defeated her, as the two of them grew up, she became more and more aware of the gap between boys and girls, and she became increasingly unwilling and anxious.

At this moment, Noel and Wuming came to Shuangyue Village.

"In that sparring session, you told me with your swordsmanship that I shouldn't stick to gender, but should give full play to my own strengths. Since then, I started thinking about my swordsmanship and started trying to make changes. "

“And now, I firmly believe that the path I’m on is the right one.”

Because after she changed her style, she became obviously stronger and could easily gain the upper hand again in the battle with Sauron. More importantly, her body felt very comfortable with this way of fighting, as if telling her that she would It should be like this.

Thinking of this, Guina looked at Noel with gratitude in her eyes.

On the other side, Noel was trying to recall the scene at that time. Did he really tell her this with sword skills?

Maybe, maybe not, he couldn't remember clearly, but it was certainly great that Kuina could understand this truth.

So he laughed:

"So isn't it nice to be like this now, now that you've found your own path..."

"But I want to become stronger!"

Kuina raised her head and looked at Noel and said firmly:

"Zoron and I made an agreement that the world's greatest swordsman in the future can only be born from the two of us. I don't want to lose to him!"

"Zoron has made rapid progress under his father's guidance, but my father's swordsmanship is not suitable for me. If this continues, I will be the only loser, so I also want to become stronger faster."

"And there is no one else I can think of who can teach me swordsmanship except you."

Having said this, Guina bent deeply towards Noel and begged with utmost sincerity:

"So, please let me learn swordsmanship from you, Master Noel!"

Guina's master's call made Noel feel very comfortable, but he was still considering various situations in his mind.

He himself never thought that he would accept a disciple at this age. After all, he had only just started training with Ken, and he also felt that his level was still far from enough.

Not to mention the things he is learning right now, he can master the six styles of shaving, he is just getting started with fish-man jujitsu, and he has just awakened his armament Haki. He is still just a beginner!

At this time, Guina spoke again:

"Also, do you remember what you said to me before you left?"

"......certainly."

Noel was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that of course he remembered that it was the advice he specially gave to Kuina——

'Don't go to high places. '

This was also something he was very happy about, because his advice did work, Kuina did not die, and the competition between her and Zoro changed from the original 2001 wins to the current 2101 wins.

Guina said:

"In fact, shortly after you left..."

Guina herself has a famous sword, a big quick sword with 21 skills, and a single word with Tao.

One day not long after Noel and others left, she went to the warehouse to look for a sharpening stone in order to maintain her knife. But when she was about to climb up the ladder, for some reason she suddenly remembered the last inexplicable words Noel said to her, and couldn't help but Feeling palpitations.

In the end, she did not climb the ladder, but went to Zoro to help her take down the whetstone. Zoro laughed at her because he thought she was afraid of heights, and was severely punished by her.

This was actually just a small thing, but after that, she would occasionally recall the scene at that time, and she would always have the strange thought of 'being saved' in her heart.

"Did you see anything at that time?"

"Well, it is."

Facing Guina's inquiry, Noel nodded perfunctorily, not intending to explain anything more.

Although Kuina was a little curious, she didn’t go into details when she saw the situation. She just thanked:

"Thank you for your advice."

However, after Kuina mentioned this matter, Noel suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to accept Kuina as his disciple.

First of all, Kuina's talent in swordsmanship is undeniable and she has a good temperament. She has suppressed Zoro since childhood. Now she has not died halfway like the original work, and her future is unlimited.

Who doesn't like to accept a genius as an apprentice?

More importantly, Guina's future was changed by him, so he paid more attention to Guina.

According to Buddhism, it means 'this child is destined to me'.

As for other considerations, Noel didn't care much, so he made a decision in his heart and said:

"If you are by my side, there may be many unknown dangers in the future, and you may lose your life at any time. Have you really thought about it carefully?"

Guina replied without hesitation:

"If I die, it means that I am just that kind of person!"
