Chapter 106

Until that day came, he challenged Roger as usual. After he was defeated by Roger again, he learned from the conversation with Roger that Roger would not live long.

When Koshiro learned the news, his swordsmanship was broken. The target he had been chasing was going to die.

In Koshiro's opinion, can the world's number one swordsman who didn't defeat Roger still be the number one? Even if he became the world's number one swordsman in the future, it would be meaningless.

"After that, I met Kuina's mother, and we gave birth to Kuina, so I have my current kendo!"

"The current kendo?"

"Yes, we are all focused on kendo, and there is only one way in life, and we can only move forward on this way, but after Roger died, my kendo heart was broken, and my kendo path was also cut off."

"Until I met Kuina's mother and had Kuina, I regained my kendo heart and realized another kendo, which is now the guardian kendo!"

"So your soft kendo is the guardian kendo!" Ryan suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't break his defense. When he heard the name of the guardian kendo, he knew that he was now mainly defensive.

"I didn't expect you and Roger to have such grievances!" Ryan sighed, which can also explain how his 210,000 attribute points came from.

Can a man who can fight against the Pirate King Roger be bad?

No wonder Roger was so happy when he saw Kozuki Goten. It turned out that he knew about the warriors of Wano Country from Koshiro.

Because he failed to defeat Roger, Koshiro wanted to train Zoro to become the world's greatest swordsman?

However, Ryan did not ask this question. It was too advanced to ask it now. One step ahead is a genius, two steps ahead is a monster, and three steps ahead is a lunatic.

Ryan did not want to be regarded as a lunatic by Koshiro.

Thinking of Zoro, Ryan suddenly thought of a person, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, the man who led the two generations of Yama Lords Kozuki Oden and Zoro to the path of kendo.

Shimotsuki Kozaburo is not only a swordsmith, but also a swordsman. When Kozuki Oden was young, Shimotsuki Kozaburo saw his talent. Not only did he hand Yama to Kozuki Oden, but he also told him about the beauty of the outside world.

When Shimotsuki Kozaburo escaped from Wano Country through illegal means, the seed of restlessness was also planted in Oden, who was still young at the time.

When Zoro was very young, Zoro, who had been practicing hard in the village, met Shimotsuki Kozaburo at the entrance of the village. Perhaps it was because Zoro and Shimotsuki Ushimaru looked exactly the same when they were young, or perhaps it was because he was impressed by Zoro's persistence.

Shimotsuki Kozaburo taught Zoro the principle of samoyamichi, and told Zoro that if he wanted to learn swordsmanship, he could go to Isshin Dojo to learn. From then on, Zoro officially embarked on the road of kendo.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help asking: "Is your father Shimotsuki Kozaburo here?"

"I left. I haven't seen my father for several years!" Koshiro shook his head.

Kidd and others looked at Ryan with surprise, not understanding why Ryan was so interested in an old man.

"Ahem... Is the child outside the door a member of the Shimotsuki clan?" Ryan asked the biggest question in his heart.

Everyone looked at where Ryan pointed. A young man with green algae hair was sweating and doing the most basic movements in swordsmanship meticulously.

Koshiro looked at Ryan deeply, then squinted and smiled: "No, he just looks like him!"

Everyone was confused. This answer was irrelevant. You can tell me who he looks like. Ryan nodded with satisfaction.

"What are you doing in the East China Sea?"

Ryan didn't need to answer this time. Kidd answered first: "See our captain's brother!"

"The son of Pirate King Roger!" Enelu added.

"Does Roger have a son?" Koshiro was a little happy. He was very happy to know that his old friend's bloodline was still alive. His relationship with Roger was a little complicated, like an enemy, a friend, and a teacher.

"Where is it? I want to see it." Koshiro looked at Ryan, because this required Ryan's consent.

"Yeah." Ryan nodded.

Since there was nothing to ask, Ryan and Bailey started drinking.

Koshiro and Fujitora were about the same age, so they just chatted. It didn't matter if they didn't chat, but after chatting, they seemed to hit it off and couldn't stop talking.

Then everyone listened to them, discussing swordsmanship, life, and their views on the world. Many of their views were surprisingly consistent.

Ryan thought they should become sworn brothers like Luffy and Ace, but while listening to them discussing swordsmanship, Ryan also discovered the shortcomings of his own swordsmanship.

NowRyan is too tough. It's not that being too tough is bad. It's good to be brave and move forward. But for Ryan now, it would be better if he could add a little softness to the toughness and achieve a combination of hardness and softness.

However, Ryan couldn't say that he wanted Koshiro to teach him swordsmanship. After all, didn't he want to save face?

While drinking, Ryan observed the people who were practicing swordsmanship in the dojo. Looking at Zoro with standard posture and sweating profusely, Ryan felt that Zoro's progress in the future could keep up with Luffy, which was inseparable from Koshiro's teaching.

After all, everything must be built on the foundation. As the kendo skills become higher and higher, Ryan can also better understand the importance of basic swordsmanship. Otherwise, he would not have been polishing Kira's foundation until now.

In addition to Zoro, there was another child with the same standard movements at the scene, that is Kuina.

What a stubborn girl, thinking of Kuina's ending, Ryan suddenly asked.

"How old is Kuina now?"

Koshiro looked at Ryan with a vigilant look on his face. What does this guy want to do? He asked how old my daughter is!

Even Robin and the others looked at Ryan, which made Ryan very embarrassed. He just asked about age, and he really didn't mean it.

"Ten years old!" Finally, Koshiro answered Ryan out of politeness.

"Ten years old, I remember Kuina died at the age of eleven, which means it was next year. It seems that the New Year is coming soon, so she is not far from death."

Ryan looked at Koshiro, then at the Sandai Kitetsu and Xuezou in Zoro and Kira's hands, and finally Ryan looked at the blue-haired girl who was practicing swordsmanship strictly according to the standards.

"I want to take Kuina as my apprentice!"

--------------------------------------------------------Here I'll talk about Zoro's background. Although Oda has been hinting that Zoro's background is related to the Shimotsuki family in the Wano Country chapter, in my setting, Zoro is just an ordinary person. If I say that he is the descendant of Shimotsuki Ryoma or the descendant of Shimotsuki Gyumaru, I really can't write it.

Because doesn't this mean that Zoro's ancestors were retainers of Momonosuke? I can't do this. Moreover, Zoro has always been synonymous with hard work in the pirates. Luffy has fruits, Sanji has technology, and Zoro only has a knife in his hand. Although he is also cheating, Zoro is the most hardworking and diligent person in the Straw Hat Group. I think the identity of an ordinary person is more suitable for him.

It is estimated that Zoro's background will be revealed soon, but no matter how Oda sets it, Zoro is just an ordinary person in my book. If you don't like it, please don't criticize it! ! !
