Chapter 57 Kuina's Decision

"Ah!"

Zoro roared, stepped forward, and slashed at Kuina with the sword in both hands.

Judging from the look of it, he didn't hold back at all. As expected, he is Zoro. Unlike a certain lecher, he adheres to the way of chivalry and would never lay a hand on a girl no matter what.

Zoro doesn't care about gender, he just kills them.

Kuina did not confront Zoro head-on. She understood her own weaknesses and also understood Zoro's weaknesses.

He dodged Zoro's attack with a clever sidestep, then held the sword with both hands, took a step forward and slashed at Zoro's waist.

Zoro quickly turned his head and bit the sword between his lips to block the attack.

He then launched a fierce attack, swinging three wooden swords and leaving afterimages, trying to defeat Kuina through strength and speed.

Kuina dodged and fought back.

Zoro's quick attack missed her, but he was hit by several swords from Kuina instead.

The two fought back and forth, and most of the time it was Zoro who got beaten.

The disciples around were watching with great interest, and Kral was also watching with wide eyes, but this kind of battle was just a child's play to Kavi and Koshiro.

However, we can also see the general level of the two.

The foundation is very solid, especially for Kuina, whose every move has method and the movements are smooth and coherent.

Zoro's swordsmanship is not flexible enough, but it is powerful, and his strength and speed are pretty good, which shows that he trains very seriously.

One focuses on skills, the other focuses on power, and each has his own strengths.

But if this continues, Zoro will surpass Kuina sooner or later, as Kuina's physical fitness is obviously worse than Zoro's.

Now you can rely on skills to defeat Zoro, but once Zoro's physique improves, skills will become ineffective.

After a while, Kuina won and both of them were panting.

"Zoro, you're making rapid progress. You've persisted for so long this time. I believe you'll surpass me soon." Kuina encouraged Zoro with a smile, but there was a hint of reluctance in her smile.

She is now becoming increasingly weak in her sparring with Zoro, and might lose if she isn't careful.

She knew that sooner or later she would be surpassed, and she felt unwilling to accept this.

Is it true, as my father said, that women really cannot become powerful swordsmen?

Zoro didn't understand Kuina's thoughts at all, and said unwillingly:

"Damn it, I will definitely beat you next time."

After saying that, he went to practice more. He clearly felt that he was just a little bit away from defeating Kuina, but losing is losing, and he would not make excuses.

Kuina looked at Zoro's back, and a sense of crisis continued to rise from the bottom of her heart. As the eldest sister, she didn't expect to be surpassed by others so soon.

She and Zoro had agreed that one of them must become the world's best swordsman.

It seems that my dream cannot be realized.

Kuina silently returned to the dojo and continued to practice sword skills, never giving up until the last moment.

Kavi and Koshiro watched it quietly. Koshiro felt sorry for his daughter and didn't want her to suffer, let alone see her sad.

He turned to look at Kavi with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll help you talk."

This daughter slave is too embarrassed to have sex with her.

Kavi walked to Kuina's side. Kuina put down the wooden sword in her hand and looked at Kavi in ​​confusion.

"Grandpa Kavi, what do you want from me?"

She was a little curious about Kavi. What was the relationship between this grandfather who had held her in his arms when she was a child and her father? Why did her father respect him so much?

Kavi smiled amiably and said in a gentle tone:

"Kuina, come and chat with me. I may be able to answer the questions in your mind."

Kuina's eyes lit up and she turned to look at Koshiro behind Kavi.

Koshiro just nodded slightly to her.

So Kuina followed Kavi into the house and they sat opposite each other.

"Grandpa, do you think I can become a real swordsman? My father told me that a woman cannot become the world's best swordsman."

Kuina couldn't wait to know the result and whether what her father said was true.

Kavi took a sip of tea slowly, put down the cup and looked at Kuina.

"Grandpa tells you this, the world's number one swordsman in the future may really be a woman, do you believe it?"

Kuina opened her eyes wide, obviously not believing what Kavi said, "How is this possible?"

"What's impossible? I know many female swordsmen, and they are stronger than most male swordsmen."

"Your father lied to you simply because he couldn't bear to see you suffer."

Kuina was surprised. She put her hands on the table, stood up and asked loudly: "Really? Grandpa, you didn't lie to me?"

Kavi nodded. How could he lie? He was the most honest old man.

Every word he said was true. In his mind, there were only two people who were qualified to be the world's number one swordsman. One was his disciple Rosa, and the other, who was also his disciple, Mihawk.

Of course, if Kawi wanted the title, they had no chance.

As for Zoro, he is still too young and the title of the world's number one swordsman is still far away from him.

"But, but I feel that my swordsmanship is improving slower and slower. Zoro is almost catching up with me. Could it be that I really have no talent?" Kuina's mood became depressed again.

She works hard and has good talent. The only difference between her and Zoro is her physical fitness.

"I have a way to improve your physical fitness, but then you will no longer be a pure swordsman. Are you willing?"

Kavi gave her a choice. He could make Kuina stronger, but the price was that she would no longer be a pure swordsman.

"Really?! What do you mean by not being a pure swordsman?" Kuina didn't understand what Kavi said. Why would he not be a pure swordsman if his physical fitness improved?

Kavi told her about the devil fruit, and that the way to improve Kuina's physique was to eat the devil fruit.

Simple violence is the fastest way to improve your physical fitness.

Kavi lets her choose.

In fact, Kavi hopes that Kuina can eat the devil fruit. The reason is very simple. According to the original work, Kuina died very early.

If she ate the devil fruit, Kavi didn't believe she could still fall to death from the stairs.

Kuina made a quick decision, "Grandpa, I'll eat it!"

She wanted to become stronger, even if she was not just a pure swordsman, she didn't want to be surpassed.

If her physical fitness doesn't improve, she will soon be surpassed by Zoro. By then, let alone being the number one in the world, she won't even be able to be the number one in Shimotsuki Village.

Even if she was surpassed by Zoro one day, she didn't want to be left too far behind, otherwise she would be laughed at.

She decided to eat the devil fruit.

Kavi took out two devil fruits that looked identical.

One is gold and the other is red.

The golden one is the golden eagle form of the Animal-type Bird-Bird Fruit, which was obtained from Doflamingo.

The red one was stolen from the Celestial Dragons. It looks the same as the Bird-Bird Fruit. Kavi is probably also an Animal-type Fruit.

So he took out two fruits.

He did not take out the remaining Yu Yu Fruit and two unknown fruits.

Two animal-type fruits for Kuina to choose from.
