One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Swordsmanship that cannot cut paper is actually more dangerous than swordsmanship that can cut steel!

As the ancients said, "The highest good is like water; if it is too rigid, it will easily break."

Swordsmanship that can cut through steel is undeniably sharp and deadly. Every move is designed to kill, exuding a murderous aura that compels one to be on high alert to defend themselves.

The swordsmanship, though unable to cut through paper, is devoid of any killing intent. It appears peaceful and righteous, yet it is deadly at every turn. If you are not careful and get hit by the sword, you will either lose a hand or a foot, or be cut in half.

"Master, I understand!"

Roronoa Zoro could no longer hold onto the floor and was blown away by the gale. His back slammed heavily against the wall again, and combined with his unhealed injuries, the pain caused him to faint.

Kuina stared in disbelief at the scene of the two fighting, especially at the figure who was not much older than herself, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light.

In Kuina's mind, she recalled every detail of her training.

At the beginning of her training, Kuina made some bold statements to Koushirou.

"I refuse to believe that girls can't practice swordsmanship!"

After encountering Roronoa Zoro, a formidable rival, Kuina always silently watched him train in the forest.

"Why? I've tried so hard, but why is my strength increasing so slowly? Does this mean that girls can never become world-renowned swordsmen?"

Despite her stubbornness, Kuina persisted in her daily training.

But watching Roronoa Zoro grow from a clueless idiot into a formidable opponent in a short period of time, Kuina's rationality made her realize that this world is cruel to girls. Perhaps it was time for her to accept her father's teachings, give up being a swordsman, and strive to become a lady so that she could marry well and be a good wife and mother in the future.

It wasn't until she saw Yang Ming, at the tender age of eight, fighting back and forth with her father, that Kuina suddenly realized what was going on.

"No!"

"It's not that girls can't become world-renowned swordsmen, it's just that all men think so!"

At that moment, a slight change occurred in the scene.

Seemingly realizing that he couldn't defeat Koushirou by relying solely on swordsmanship, Yang Ming wasn't exactly a swordsman who adhered to principles. He was a very pragmatic person. Armament Haki, as viscous as oil, spread from his arm all the way to the blade of his Zanpakuto, adding a touch of sharpness.

Koushirou had already mastered Observation Haki, and when he sensed that the excessively young captain in front of him seemed to possess abilities other than swordsmanship, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Anyone who wants to achieve something in a field needs to painstakingly hone their skills for more than ten years.

At such a young age, Yang Ming not only possesses swordsmanship that even Koushirou finds troublesome, but also seems to have other powerful abilities. Could he be a monster who has been cultivating since birth?

Koushirou pondered for a moment. If Yang Ming were to unleash his full power, regardless of the outcome of the battle, the mere swordsmanship exchange had already thrown the entire dojo into chaos. Many disciples had been thrown into the air and knocked unconscious by the shockwaves. If the two continued fighting, the entire dojo and its other disciples might suffer collateral damage.

Having pondered this, Koushirou, using the force of his strike, took several steps back, creating a safe distance between himself and Yang Ming, before softening his tone and saying:

"Captain Yang Ming's skills are superior, I admire him. It's inconvenient now, but how about Captain Yang Ming comes again in a few days to discuss the weapon manufacturing?"

Yang Ming looked around and immediately understood Koushirou's concerns.

"Alright."

Yang Ming was not a warlike person; as long as he achieved his goal, he was content and immediately sheathed his sword.

Yang Ming had walked less than 500 meters from the dojo when he suddenly stopped and said:

"Come out."

The bushes rustled, and Kuina emerged from the forest, her beautiful eyes fixed on the boy before her. She said:

"You came to our dojo just to forge a batch of weapons?"

Yang Ming gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his profile flawless, and remarked with considerable emotion:

"I have lost my way in life."

Chapter 114 The Art of Dark Travel

"What's with this level of embarrassment that you could dig a room and three living rooms out of the ground with your toes?"

Kuina stared blankly at the boy in front of her, truly surprised that he had such a Versailles-like side.

Damn it, he actually managed to fool me!

Despite Kuina's best efforts to control her emotions, the young girl was still young, and the sharp-eyed Yang Ming caught the fleeting change in her emotions.

As mentioned before, the Navy often walks the line between life and death, constantly fighting pirates. If they don't want to become as ruthless as Admiral Sakazuki Akainu, they have no choice but to find ways to relieve the tension after battles.

Garp relieves stress by eating snacks, while Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji releases negative emotions by cycling around the world.

During this period, Yang Ming has been playing two roles, one as a naval officer and the other as a pirate. He has fought against the Seven Warlords of the Sea and also clashed with the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters, which has accumulated a lot of negative emotions.

Yang Ming was not a bloodthirsty person, so he could not follow the example of Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu and Warden Shiryu of the Rain to release pressure through more killing. Therefore, he had to find another way.

By teasing these well-known characters from the original work, and with a pretty girl in particular, Yang Ming felt genuinely happy, which relieved some of the pressure he had been under.

At the same time, Yang Ming heard a system notification.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Naruto. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"

Yang Ming's attention was drawn to the lottery wheel that was out of sight of others.

Summoned characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi...

Ninjutsu/Taijutsu: Great Fireball Technique, Water Dragon Technique, Dark Travel Technique...

Limitations of Blood Succession: Ice Escape, Magnetic Escape, Melt Escape, Explosion Escape...

[Darkness Travel Technique]: Creates an illusion, depriving the opponent of all vision.

The Dark Walk Technique is a terrifying ability, perfectly suited for the identity of Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night. If combined with abilities such as Silent Fear, it would truly make him a terrifying being that terrifies the entire world.

In that instant, Yang Ming thought of several skill combinations.

Seeing Yang Ming looking up at the sky with empty eyes, seemingly lost in thought and ignoring her presence, Guina felt a surge of anger.

At the dojo, Kuina was Koushirou's darling daughter, and all the disciples fawned over her like stars around the moon, naturally trying their best to please her and daring not to neglect her, which Kuina had long been used to.

A fleeting displeasure crossed her mind. Remembering the purpose of her trip, Guina quickly suppressed her emotions and asked:

"I want to learn from you, is that alright?"

"I'll do anything you ask, as long as I can become a world-renowned swordsman!"

Yang Ming withdrew his scattered gaze, snapped out of his reverie over the system rewards, and looked at the girl in front of him with some curiosity.

The soft sunlight slanted onto the girl, whose blue hair was cut into a short bob. Between her two beautiful eyebrows, there was a hint of sorrow. Her beautiful eyes were watching Yang Ming nervously, and her two jade hands, which were covered with scars from years of practicing with bamboo swords, were clenched tightly.

The girl seemed to realize that her words were slightly ambiguous, but now that the words were out, they were like spilled water that couldn't be taken back. She could only purse her lips tightly, her eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness.

Yang Ming looked Kuina up and down and shook his head.

"I don't have the habit of leading people in cultivation."

joke!

He's not a nanny, so why should Guina be taught by someone else?

Although she had already guessed this answer, Guina still felt a sudden pang of bitterness in her heart. She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, and forced herself to suppress her emotions, her voice hoarse as she spoke:

"why?"

"Just because I'm a girl?"

Kuina suddenly raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and said:

"I know that girls are born weaker than boys, and no matter how much they train, their strength can't keep up with boys. Even though I've been training with a sword since I was five, and it's been two and a half years now, Zoro, that idiot, has only been at the dojo for a few months, but he's almost caught up with me!"

"I'm not reconciled! I'm really not reconciled, why am I not a boy?"

As soon as Guina finished speaking, a dark figure rushed towards her.

"Snapped!"

A slap landed on Kuina's collagen-rich cheek, leaving a bright red handprint.

Yang Ming withdrew his hand, meeting Guina's puzzled and angry gaze, and said calmly:

"If you truly believe that girls can be more outstanding than boys, then join the military, start as a naval trainee, and work your way up to the Navy Headquarters step by step with your own abilities."

"If you can get into the naval academy instead of crying and whining in front of me like this, I will give you a chance to challenge me. If you can gain my approval through your strength, why not let you study under me?"

Having said that, Yang Ming left Guina alone and turned away decisively.

Koushirou stood on the roof of the dojo, quietly watching this scene, and sighed inwardly.

Pity the parents of the world.

Koushirou was born in Wano Country, and he was not as short-sighted as the residents of the East Blue. He knew that on this sea, it was not impossible for a woman to become a top powerhouse.

Koshiro knew all too well that once Kuina embarked on that path, she would inevitably encounter endless dangers, dancing on the edge of a knife every day, with not a single day of peace.

Rather than that, it would be better to tell a kind lie and let Guina give up her dream and settle down to marry into an ordinary family. Although the ordinary life would be boring, at least there would be no danger to her life.

But what makes humans human, and not ordinary animals, is that they have all sorts of wonderful ideas, dreams and pursuits.

Perhaps, in some people's eyes, "dream" is a ridiculous word.

But in some people's eyes, the process of pursuing dreams is a kind of enjoyment.

Guina covered her aching cheek, staring blankly at Yang Ming's receding figure. She casually wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, then suddenly mustered her courage and shouted:

"I will definitely join the military and work my way up to the Navy Headquarters!"

"When the time comes, I'll definitely give you a good beating!"

Yang Ming simply waved his hand dismissively at Kuina's message from afar, offering no response.

a few days later.

The dojo, now restored to its former glory, once again welcomed Yang Ming's visit.

Kuina and Roronoa Zoro were nowhere to be seen at the dojo. The two were currently training together on the mountain behind the dojo, and Kuina was even planning to join the nearest Marine branch after some time.

Koushirou knelt on the tatami mat, smiling as he looked at the boy opposite him, and said:

"I wonder what kind of weapon Captain Yang Ming intends for me to forge?"

"Let me be frank from the start: my forging skills are far inferior to my father's, and I am incapable of forging divine weapons like the Supreme Great Sword."

Using the pretense of putting his hands in his pockets as cover, Yang Ming took out a cloth bag from his spatial ring and placed it on the table.
