One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 833 The Untied Knot

"That's about it. Since then, Wano Country has broken away from the dregs that had been passed down for 800 years and ushered in a new era. But I was too young at the time, and I only heard about many things later. I don't know the specifics, but if you really want to know the details, I can bring the history book over next time I come. It's written very clearly, including how the beasts won the support of ordinary people, how many important roles ordinary people played in it, etc. Whether it's the harmonized version used in elementary schools or the complete version used by history researchers, I can bring it to you to see."

Hiyori took a sip of tea, moistened her throat and said.

"So many changes have taken place? It's really unexpected. As for the books, if you have time, please send me one. Of course, if you don't have time, forget it. There is no need to force these things. I am satisfied to know that Wano Country has become so beautiful now."

Koshiro nodded. He didn't know whether Hiyori had lied to him or not, but based on what Dragon once told him, that Wano Country had undergone great changes and had become a better place, it was probably true. Who would have thought that it would be a pirate who saved Wano Country.

"Okay, do you have any questions?"

Hiyori asked, fortunately, the guy in front of him is not the typical idiot with samurai spirit in his head, otherwise Hiyori is afraid that she can't help but draw her sword and chop this guy. Although it's not good to say this, Hiyori is now a representative of anti-samurai who is a little crazy. Are you a samurai? Die! How crazy is Hiyori? She is so crazy that even Kaido and Lily sometimes have to advise her that there are actually good people among samurai, and there is no need to kill them all. But if a person is stubborn, there is really no way, otherwise Hiyori would not think about killing Momonosuke, after all, he is her only blood relative.

"Ah, there is one more thing I want to ask. As far as I know, Ms. Rose Lily of the Beasts Pirates is the world's number one swordsman. Is this true?"

Koshiro asked uncertainly. This was the question he wanted to ask the most. Compared to Wano Country, which he could no longer return to, he was actually more concerned about the world's greatest swordsman. After all, he had hurt his daughter because of this.

"That's right! Mother is the world's greatest swordsman! No one can match her!"

As Lily's sole supporter, upon hearing this question, Hiyori was no longer sleepy and immediately spoke with greater energy.

"I see, so it's really possible? Women can really become strong!"

Koshiro was a little excited at this moment. He knew how talented his daughter was, but his father's teachings in the past were too profound. He had never seen a female swordsman who was strong, so he had always believed in this matter. But now, reality has broken his father's words. As long as Kuina undergoes enough training and then goes out for actual combat, she will definitely become a real strong person!
"Right? Your old-fashioned thinking is the reason why so many bad things happened in Wano Country in the past. What's wrong with being a woman? As long as they work hard enough, women can also become strong. My sister and I are both women, how about we have a fight now?"

Hiyori looked at the extremely excited Koshiro, then glanced at Kuina who was helping to pour tea nearby. She probably guessed something and stood up and said.

"If it's possible, that would be great."

Not to mention, Koshiro was more than happy about this. His swordsmanship had already reached a bottleneck and he couldn't move forward even half a step. This was also the reason why he opened a swordsmanship gym and taught students. It was because he couldn't make any progress, so he let his students climb to the peak that he couldn't reach. Now he could see that other people's swordsmanship was already very good, not to mention that Hiyori was a woman. Although the sword shape she used was different, at least she could help Kuina rebuild the confidence that was shattered by him when she was a child. This was a good thing.

"Huh? Why did you start fighting while talking?"

Yamato walked in from outside, holding an oversized rhinoceros beetle in her hand. She was just about to show off her find to Hiyori, but when she came back, she saw Hiyori and Koshiro facing each other with swords.

"It seems that they are preparing to verify the truth of what Hiyori said. I don't understand. I am not a swordsman and don't understand these things. But you came back just in time. They are just about to start."

Robin sat aside, flipping through books out of boredom. It was really too boring here. He asked around and found out there was neither a bookstore nor history books here. Even the history of the entire island had only developed bit by bit over the past hundred years. The name of Shimotsuki Village was given by Koshiro. This made Robin feel extremely bored.

"Okay, but Robin, look, I caught a very big rhinoceros beetle. The rhinoceros beetles here are much bigger than those on Onigashima, and also bigger than those in Wano Country." Yamato nodded, then happily showed the rhinoceros beetle in her hand to Robin. This was her latest trophy, and although she couldn't keep it (none of them survived more than a week), she could still show it off.

"I see. I don't understand why you like this thing. It looks no different."

Robin shrugged. She had never had any interest in rhinoceros beetles and catalpa insects. Reading was more suitable for her. Of course, if it was about fighting crickets, that was another matter.

"How can you say that? This is a rhinoceros beetle! Look at this majestic horn, it's so powerful!"

Yamato said unconvinced, and while the two were arguing, the fight between Hiyori and Koshiro began. The two did not use bamboo swords, but their own swords. Both started quickly. In a swordsmanship competition, the person who attacks first does not have an advantage. Koshiro thought that he was older, and even if he was not strong, he should attack first to show his importance. Hiyori was used to attacking. After all, she learned Lily's swordsmanship, which was honed on the battlefield. Crazy quick attack was the essence of Lily's swordsmanship. As a result, the two of them collided with each other in a daze.

"bump!"

When the two swords collided, a sound was made that should not have been made by the collision of swords. The huge sound wave, accompanied by a powerful momentum, directly knocked over Kuina and Zoro who were standing next to them. Fortunately, Yamato was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he pulled the two people back who were about to hit the wall.

“Tengtengtengtengtengteng.”

Koshiro took several steps back and finally stopped after crushing the ground. Hiyori's strength was beyond his imagination. In his opinion, Hiyori's swordsmanship was definitely better than his, but at least he should have the advantage in strength. Even if the opponent was using a broadsword, he would at most be on par with him. He didn't expect that he had an overwhelming advantage in strength. How was this possible!
"Although I am better at speed than strength, don't underestimate me! I have persisted in every class under the hellish training of Father and Mother! My strength is not to be underestimated!"

Hiyori raised the unknown red blade and pointed at Koshiro. The skill of holding the broadsword horizontally was not something that ordinary people could match, and it also showed Hiyori's strength that could not be seen at all from her appearance.

"What a powerful force, Miss Hiyori. You don't have any special racial talents, do you?"

Koshiro asked his last question.

"No, I am a pure human being."

Hiyori said, shaking her head.

"Did you hear that? Kuina! Women can also become strong! Ordinary people can also become strong. Your father was wrong! Your grandfather was also wrong! You can become strong!"

Koshiro got the last answer, and immediately said to Kuina with excitement, this is not only to untie Kuina's knot, but also to untie his own knot. Which parent doesn't want their children to be successful? If there is a chance, he hopes that the person who can surpass him is Kuina, and now, he finally sees the light!

"Yes, Father, I saw it."

At this time, Kuina's eyes were shining. She heard her father's whispers when she was a child. Since then, she has redoubled her efforts, hoping to prove that her father was wrong. However, looking at Zoro, who was defeated by her many times but kept getting stronger and closer to her, Kuina still unconsciously thought that her father was right. But now, she finally saw that women can also be so strong.
