Chapter 10
So Rogge went to the town to buy some seasonings, and then went home to tell his parents where he was going, and then he returned to the forest quickly.
At this time, Sauron had already cut the meat into pieces, but there were still some ice residues in the meat.
"Brother, you are back! Let me tell you, this tiger is really tough and hard to chop.……"
Zoro mentioned the strange situation of the tiger's insides being frozen solid
"This is due to my ability, so I was able to kill this big guy with one blow."
After all, a beast nearly three meters in size, like Rogge, can't die with just a small wound on its body, unless he uses special abilities.
"Ability?" Zoro asked in confusion.
"Hmm~ How can I explain it to you?"
Rogge groaned and continued
"There is a magical fruit in the world called the Devil Fruit. When you eat it, you will gain special abilities, but you will be afraid of sea water and a special stone called seastone."
"That's a pity." Sauron said with some disappointment.
"pity?"
"Yes, because I want to go out to sea and become the number one swordsman, I absolutely cannot be afraid of the sea water. I also want to eat a devil fruit that can allow me to walk on the waves in the sea alone!"
Listening to Zoro's thoughts, Roger remembered Zoro's attribute of being a road idiot. He was afraid that Zoro would starve to death in the sea after eating such a fruit. Fortunately, he didn't have this idea now. After all, this kind of fruit that can walk on the waves is something that many fruits can do.
Just like his cold fruit, all he needs to do is freeze the sea water under his feet, but the only drawback is that it can't release cold air like the freezing fruit. The cold can only affect individuals and objects within the contact range.
"By the way, Roger, what is your ability?"Sauron continued to ask
"My ability is to lower my temperature"
"Lower your temperature?"
"Yes, just like this."Rogge said as he placed his cold hand on Zoro's shoulder.
"Hiss~ It's so cold." Zoro shivered and said,"The power of this fruit is really too strong."
"Well, come on, let's prepare to roast this big guy."Rogge didn't intend to continue to discuss his own abilities with Zoro in depth. Not to mention that he himself had not yet developed to a very strong level, if Zoro's idea of the devil fruit became stronger, the belief of a certain number one swordsman would be shaken.
"Good! Let’s eat!"
"……"
"It's not roasted yet, are you a savage?"
"Zoro's sixty-sixth challenge to Kuina begins."
Because of his relationship with Zoro, Rogue also joined Zoro in the 'Kuina Challenge'."
Of course, Zoro is given priority, followed by Rogue.
Three-sword style. Crazy slashing!!
Unlike facing Rogue, Zoro who challenged Kuina seemed even crazier. The battle seemed to be without rules but full of ruthlessness.
Kuina didn't care about Zoro's violent offensive at all. It seemed that in her eyes, everything about Zoro was a flaw.
Block, block, and block again. Zoro's three swords' successive attacks did not break through Kuina's defense. Even because Zoro was still very young and his strength was not great, Kuina didn't even take a step back.
In less than a minute, Kuina pushed Zoro's sword away again, and then she stepped forward and put the sword against Zoro's neck.
"You lose."A very cold sentence
"Then it's my turn next." Rogge was eager to try, because from the previous battle, Rogge found that if he competed with Kuina in swordsmanship, he would definitely humiliate himself. Challenging Kuina in this way would help him improve his swordsmanship.
Perhaps the reason why he had not improved his swordsmanship in six years was because of his eccentricity.
(Kuina is one year younger than Rogge. According to statistics, Kuina is two years older than Zoro, and Zoro is nine years old this year.）
"Who are you?"Kuina didn't remember there was such a junior in the dojo.
"My name is Rogge, please teach me."Rogge took the wooden sword from Zoro and said seriously.
"Forget it, come on." Kuina didn't care at all about having another Zoro-like existence. It would only be a little more trouble.
Kuina held her wooden sword upright and pointed it at Rogue, indicating that Rogue could attack at will.
Rogue's swordsmanship was not very superb. If it weren't for his own strength and speed far superior to Zoro, he might not even be able to defeat Zoro.
In this way, fighting against Kuina, whose swordsmanship skills were far superior to Zoro, Rogue's strength and speed might not have the advantage.
As the eldest sister, Kuina would not take the initiative to attack, so Rogue raised his sword and rushed forward, much faster than Zoro.
So fast!
Although she thought so in her heart, Kuina easily predicted and took on Rogue's sword moves.
"Left."Rogge thought as he rushed forward again.
Bang!
Rogge's attack was blocked again, and Kuina used the force to knock him away.
"What happened? The opponent seemed to know where to attack and drew his sword in advance, so he could catch it when his attack speed was much faster than his opponent's."
Rogge frowned and thought.
"I remember your name is Roger, right?" Kuina suddenly asked
"Yes, I am."Rogge replied calmly.
"Compared to that green algae head, you are much stronger, but……"
Roger looked at Kuina, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said,"Go ahead, it's okay."
"Well, but your swordsmanship sucks!"
"Your strength, speed, and reaction speed are all very strong, but your fighting skills, or fighting skills are completely disorganized. I can even say that you don’t know swordsmanship at all."
Guina continued
"I know."
Rogge said, not seeming to care at all.
"Although I have been practicing swordsmanship in the dojo for six years, I like to practice swordsmanship alone and have never experienced actual combat. Every day is just boring, slashing horizontally and vertically."
Guina looked at Rogge for a long time, with a calm look in his eyes, not feeling ashamed or angry at being criticized by her.
"In that case, why do you still want to challenge me? A swordsman with only brute force is not worthy of challenging a real swordsman."
