Rejected Shanks at the starting - Chapter 15
Kuina stared at him sullenly: “I’m not reconciled.”
Zoro let go of his hand and looked at Kuina.
Kuina continued: “When a girl grows up, she will be weaker than a boy. You have already caught up, and I will be defeated by you soon. Zoro, you often say that, to become the strongest swordsman in the world, Father told me that a girl can’t be a girl, I understand, I have understood this kind of thing a long time ago, but, but I am not reconciled, Zoro is so kind, because you are a boy, I also want to Become the strongest swordsman in the world. If, if I can be a boy…”
Zoro got up from the grass, and the more he listened, the more angry he became: “You have defeated me, so don’t complain anymore, this is too despicable! You are the target I have always wanted to defeat, what kind of man and woman are you? When I really beat you, do you want to say the same? It seems that I did not win by my own strength. Then, now that I am working so hard for special training, don’t I look like an idiot? Don’t say it again Such words!”
Kuina looked at Zoro with tears in her eyes.
Zoro approached her, gritted his teeth and said, “Promise me, one day, it will be either me or you, and you must become the strongest swordsman in the world!”
Looking at Zoro’s firm gaze, Kuina was stunned for a moment, and then said in relief: “Idiot, you are obviously weaker than me…”
“Then it’s settled!” Zoro held out his hand to her and insisted, “But before we become the strongest swordsman, let’s compare to see who can defeat Mark first.”
Kuina’s eyes flickered, she stretched out her hand to hold Zoro’s hand, and said with a smile, “Okay, it’s settled! Just wait and see, I must be the one who defeats him first!”
The next day.
Mark usually got up early in the morning to go hunting in the valley.
The little tail behind him changed from one to two…
Moreover, the two guys, as if they had made an agreement, tried to confront him one after another from time to time, and after being rejected, they still didn’t give up and even learned to sneak attack.
Although he was beaten to the ground by Mark every time.
It was the same for the next few days, no matter how many times Mark beat them down.
But it didn’t wipe out their “enthusiasm” at all. They still enjoyed it every day, doing the same thing relentlessly.
Koshiro saw it, but he was always smiling, and he had no intention of stopping his daughter and disciples at all.
It was a tacit consent to his two pairs of Mark’s stalking.
This evening.
When Mark beat Zoro and Kuina to the ground for the nth time in the backyard of the gymnasium.
Koshiro smiled and waved to Mark in the corridor: “Mark, come here.”
Mark glanced at him.
Dragon is there too.
It looked as if the dragon was leaving.
Mark walked over.
Dragon smiled and said, “I’ve stayed here for too long this time, I should go.”
“Oh.” Mark responded casually.
Dragon continued: “Are you sure you don’t think about going with me anymore?”
Mark said directly: “I don’t think about it.”
Seeing that Mark really didn’t care at all, Dragon had no choice but to give up the solicitation temporarily: “Well, since you don’t want to, I won’t force it. If you encounter any troubles in the future, you can come to Brother Baldi to find me.”
Bardigo is the base of the Revolutionary Army.
Mark nodded complacently.
Dragon smiled, turned to look at Koshiro, and said without hesitation: “Thank you for raising the food this time.”
Koshiro smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter, what are your plans for the future? This place is not far from the Foosha Village of Goya Kingdom. You haven’t been back for a long time, do you want to go back and have a look?”
“No.” Dragon shook his head and said, “It’s not the time yet, let’s talk about it later.”
Koshiro nodded and said, “Okay, just let me know in advance when you come next time.”
“Okay.” Dragon responded without saying anything more, and left Shuangyue Village before night fell.
In the original plot, Luffy didn’t know who his father was until he passed through the capital of seven waters located on the great route.
Dragon is a very cautious person who will not easily expose his weaknesses, so very few people know his life experience, even his trusted subordinates in the revolutionary army don’t know that he has a son.
The conversation just now, although Koshiro didn’t say it clearly.
But it is not difficult to see that Koshiro is one of the very few people who knows the root of the dragon.
This can be seen.
The relationship between the two is indeed extraordinary.
However, no matter what.
Mark is not interested, he is only interested in completing the sign-in progress task and wine.
“It’s okay, I’ll go first.” Mark was about to go back to his room to drink.
Koshiro stopped him again: “There is a party in the village tonight, do you want to go and see it?”
“No.” Mark directly refused.
At this time, Zoro and Kuina trotted over.
Zoro excitedly said: “Shuangyue Village will hold a lively party at the end of every month, it’s fun, Mark, let’s go to the party together.”
Guina said arrogantly: “I don’t like shopping very much, but if you go, I can reluctantly accompany you.”
Mark: “…”
Mark refused: “I’m not interested, I won’t go.”
Koshiro smiled and said, “In the evening, many villagers will bring out their own homemade wine for sale. Each family has a unique taste. This is not something you can buy in taverns.”
Hearing this, Mark stopped walking towards the room.
Koshiro looked at Zoro and Kuina: “What are you still doing?”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and immediately grabbed Mark’s arm from left to right, and pulled him out.
“Aunt Sugimoto’s home-brewed wine should be pretty good.” Guina recommended, “Uncle Long’s friend is that uncle who has a super big face and looks a little scary. Whenever he comes to the village, he will go to Aunt Sugimoto’s house to buy it. Drinking wine, usually, her family’s wine is not sold to outsiders, because Uncle Long and my father have a good relationship, so the auntie will make a special case to sell some to them when it is not the party day.”
“Is the wine really that good?” Zoro asked inexplicably, “I drank it secretly before, and it tastes better than juice.”
Mark pulled his arm out of the holding hands of Zoro and Kuina, and said speechlessly, “Why are you two so thick-skinned…”
