Pirate's silver-winged evil star

After bidding farewell to Chen Sheng, Shigetsuki Koushiro found his father Shigetsuki Kozaburo at the beach.

At this time, Shigetsuki Kozaburo was extremely old, and his eyes were a little cloudy. The old man sat on the shore, listening to the sound of the rising and falling sea, and enjoying the short time left in his life.

Shigetsuki Kozaburo has experienced many battles and suffered many injuries in his life. When he was young, these injuries were nothing, but they would eventually leave traces on his body, and they would come to him when he was older.

Kneeling and sitting next to Shigetsuki Kozaburo, Koushiro said: "Father, I just met the president of the recently emerged Hunter Guild in the Grand Line."

Shigetsuki Kozaburo smoked a cigar produced in Qixia Town, holding a fishing rod in both hands and said: "Oh, that hunter's guild that was established not long ago? The newspapers spoke highly of him. He is an interesting guy. He came to see you. do what?"

Koushiro replied: "He brought the stolen national treasure, Black Sword Shusui."

As soon as he heard Shusui, Shigetsuki Kozaburo perked up, turned to look at Koshiro and said, "Black sword Shusui? The national treasure of Wano is in his hands? Is he willing to return the national treasure of Wano?"

Koushiro explained: "He came to us just to discuss this matter. As a condition for returning the national treasure, he hopes that we will join the Hunter Guild."

As soon as Koushiro finished speaking, Kozaburo Shigezuki immediately said: "Promise him, I have nothing to cherish about my old bones. If I can help the country recover the national treasure, it will be considered a worthy death."

Seeing his father's eager look, Koushiro said helplessly: "Don't you listen to the conditions? Father?"

Shigetsuki Kozaburo looked at Koushiro and said sternly: "That is the national treasure of Wano! Every citizen has the obligation to find it. If I can do it, I will try my best to do it, even if it costs my life! "

Koushiro explained: "It's not an exaggeration to sacrifice his life. To be honest, the conditions he offered us are pretty good."

With that said, Koushiro briefly introduced Chen Sheng's conditions.

After hearing Chen Sheng's conditions, Shigetsuki Kozaburo asked: "It's a very generous offer. Not only can I practice swordsmanship, but I'm also willing to help us regain the country of Waka. Why didn't you agree?"

Koushiro said: "After all, this is related to the future of the Shuoyue family. How can I come to a conclusion easily? Let's discuss it with you, father."

Shigetsuki Kozaburo shook his head and said: "Shiro, you are not young anymore. Kuina's child has grown so big in a blink of an eye. As a father, you have to show the courage of the head of the family! You will be in charge of such small things in the future. That’s fine, I don’t know how long my old bones can last, so don’t pay too much attention to me.”

Koushiro said: "Don't give up on yourself, father. President Chen promised me that his medical skills can help you extend your life by 20 to [-] years. I will contact President Chen immediately and join the Hunter Guild. You must persevere."

Shigetsuki Kozaburo seemed to give up, so Koushiro quickly persuaded him.

Hearing Koushiro's words, Shigetsuki Kozaburo just smiled, changed the topic and said: "Shiro, I can see that you also have the desire to join the Hunter Guild. What is it there that attracts you?"

Koushiro thought for a while and said: "Before I came to you, I had a simple discussion with President Chen, and I failed."

Shigetsuki Kozaburo was a little curious when he heard this. He still knew the strength of his child. Although he was not as good as Oden-sama back then, he could be regarded as a first-class swordsman in Wano Country.So Kozaburo Shigetsuki asked: "Oh? I didn't hear that the president is also a swordsman? He can actually defeat you in a swordsmanship competition?"

"No." Koushiro explained: "Based on my feeling, his swordsmanship should not be as good as mine. It's just that he has a special weapon-colored domineering technique called 'Air Blade'. In addition to the bonus of 'Air Blade' His attack power is very powerful, and the sharpness and hardness of the sword far exceeds any weapon I have ever seen, even the black sword may not be able to compare with it."

"During our duel, his weapon cut off the sword in my hand. A swordsman has lost his sword, so naturally he has no right to claim victory."

After listening to Koushiro's words, Shigetsuki Kozaburo took a puff of cigarette and said: "It sounds like a very interesting technique. No wonder it attracts you, then go for it! I believe in your ability to see people."

After receiving his father's approval, Koushiro said goodbye to his father, thinking solemnly about Chen Sheng's words along the way.

He didn't have any objection to joining the Hunter Guild. At this moment, Shigetsuki Koushiro was more concerned about Chen Sheng's views on Kuina's future.

Will his idea really block Kuina's future in swordsmanship?His reason told him that what Chen Sheng said might be right, but he was a little reluctant to admit it.

As a swordsman, he wanted his daughter to learn swordsmanship from a stranger, which made him feel indescribably awkward and disappointed.

Returning to the dojo with a heavy heart, he saw Kuina practicing swordsmanship. Koushiro said to her:

"Come here Kuina, your mind is confused and the sword in your hand is out of control. It will be useless if you continue to practice. Let's talk!"

Calling Koina to his side, Koushiro and Koina sat face to face. Looking into his daughter's eyes, Koushiro said:

"Guina, as a father, my thoughts all along may be a bit hurtful. I must apologize to you for this. If this sentence really affects you, please forget it!"

Listening to Koushiro's sincere words, Kuina shook her head and said, "No, father. I feel it too. You are right. Women may really be inferior to men in swordsmanship."

As she spoke, Kuina recalled the green-haired child and said: "When Sauron and I first met, I defeated him with just one sword, but I could feel that his strength improved quickly, and I wanted to defeat him. He’s getting harder and harder.”

"Now I can still defeat him through skills, but after a while, maybe I will no longer be his opponent."

"But Father, I'm still a little unwilling. Why? Father, is it true that women's swordsmanship is not as good as that of men?"

As Guina spoke, tears welled up in her eyes unknowingly. She didn't know why she was like this, but she felt as uncomfortable as a huge stone blocking her heart.

Koushiro didn't speak, he just looked at his daughter quietly. Seeing Kuina venting his inner emotions, his heart was also affected.Although she didn't want to admit it, Wano's sword training methods really couldn't help Kuina improve her current situation.

After Kuina slowly calmed down her emotions, Koushiro thought of Chen Sheng's special skills and was silent for a while and said:

"Kuina, are you willing to join the Hunter Guild and learn from President Chen? Although I don't want to admit it, he does have a lot of swordsmanship skills that cannot be learned in Wano. Maybe he can help you overcome difficulties. Defeat other male swordsmen."

"Being the world's best swordsman is your dream, isn't it? Don't consider other people's opinions, ask your heart, are you willing to join the Hunter Guild to study? When the opportunity to chase your dream arises, everyone has the right to seize it .”

After listening to Koushiro's words, Kuina couldn't help but think of Chen Sheng's special skills before. Chen Sheng's identity and status made Kuina afraid to approach him easily, but now that her father has made such a suggestion, she is a little moved. .

"Okay, father, don't worry, my daughter will think it over carefully." Guina replied.

"Okay, if you think about it, you can just tell dad."

When Koushiro saw that his daughter had agreed, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Don't think too much, maybe I'm wrong. Everyone in the world has their own training method. Maybe it's just that our family's method is not suitable for you, Kuina."

Both father and daughter let go of the heavy burden in their hearts and suddenly felt relaxed.Then Koushiro told Kuina a lot, from childhood past to anecdotes about the sea. Looking at Kuina's happy smile, Koushiro suddenly felt a little dazed.

How long had it been since father and daughter had talked like this?When was the last time I saw Kuina smiling so happily?

"Go and rest! Dad should leave too, otherwise those brats will be in trouble soon."

After a long conversation that lasted all night, Koushiro left the dojo and said with a smile.

His fight with Chen Sheng made those students a little restless. If he didn't suppress it today, it might be difficult for them to calm down and learn swordsmanship in the near future.
