One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Kuina was taken aback, then clenched her little fist and a "well" shape appeared on her forehead.

This guy has such a terrible personality!

Sith wiped his sweat and chuckled:

"Who says a woman can't become the world's greatest swordsman? I know someone who did it."

Guina stared intently at him, her gaze like that of a drowning person grasping at a straw.

"Who is it?!"

She was so anxious that she even forgot to use honorifics.

Sith said slowly:

Have you ever heard of Charlotte Linlin, the Pirate Emperor?

Guina realized what was happening and quickly nodded.

Her father had once introduced her to some powerful pirates on the Grand Line, including Charlotte Linlin.

But to Kuina, that was just a distant figure who had nothing to do with her, and she never expected that the other party was a swordsman.

Sith continued:

"That woman is also a swordswoman. Although her swordsmanship might not be the most refined, she is definitely the world's greatest swordswoman!"

At this point in time, Hawkeye's strength hadn't reached its peak, and there weren't many skilled swordsmen at sea, so it's fair to say that Big Mom was the world's number one.

Anyway, the standard for judging swordsmanship in this world is very simple: just look at how powerful a single slash can be. There aren't many fancy tricks.

Of course, Big Mom's physique and talent are definitely not comparable to Kuina's, but in terms of swordsmanship alone, Kuina's talent is also top-notch, and her physical deficiencies can be made up for in the future with Devil Fruits or Haki.

Ultimately, Sith's goal is not only to save Kuina's life, but also to guide her on the path to becoming the world's number one!

After all, he intended to recruit this genius girl into his team.

After hearing what Sith had to say, Guina felt a surge of joy, but then she looked at Sith with suspicion.

"You're not lying to me again, are you?"

She discovered that the clown seemed to really enjoy playing pranks.

Sith laughed nonchalantly:

"So what if I lied to you? Does that mean you'll stop moving forward just because I'm telling a lie?"

These words were like a sea breeze, instantly dispelling the long-standing gloom in Guina's heart.

Yes, whether Buggy's words are true or false is not important at all. What matters is that "heart" that wants to become the world's greatest swordsman.

If you don't even believe you can do it, how can you become number one in the world?

Seeing that Guina seemed lost in thought, Sith opened his arms and smiled at her:

"Kuina, I want you to know—"

"Human dreams never end!"

when!

The sound of a village bell tolling the time startled Guina.

She remained silent for a long time, her body frozen in place, unaware even of the tears streaming down her face.

Finally, Guina raised her head again, revealing a tearful smile.

"Mr. Bucky, thank you!"

She bowed deeply, her heart filled with boundless gratitude.

The most difficult aspect of the path of swordsmanship is not actually sword skills, but rather one's mental fortitude.

Tonight's conversation helped Siss completely shatter the stone that had been weighing on her heart; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it saved her life!

Seeing that Kuina had opened up, Sith also showed a relieved smile.

He actually suspected that Kuina's death was partly an accident, and partly an unconscious blow from her father that completely broke the spirit of this genius girl, causing her to subconsciously choose to give up on living.

Many parents are like this: they clearly love their children very much, but they can't help saying hurtful things, which is really frustrating.

Kuina was immersed in the joy of enlightenment when she suddenly heard her father's voice.

"Kuina? Mr. Buggy?"

Seeing the two people holding bamboo swords and his daughter's tearful face, Koushirou was a little confused.

He noticed that Kuina hadn't returned to her bedroom late at night, so he went out to look for her, only to witness this incredible scene.

Did Kuina get beaten to tears during a sparring match with Buggy?

That shouldn't be the case. Although Kuina's strength is still far from that of a swordsman, she has already surpassed most swordsmen. He has never heard Bucky mention that he is good at swordsmanship.

Kuina wiped away her tears and ran excitedly towards Koushirou.

"Father, Mr. Bucky gave me some pointers just now, and I feel even more capable now!"

Although Koushirou didn't know what had happened, he couldn't help but look at Sith with gratitude when he saw his daughter's radiant smile.

"I am extremely grateful to Mr. Bucky for taking the time to guide my daughter."

Sith nodded and smiled at him:

"Mr. Koushirou, there's no need for such formalities. I just chatted with Kuina for a while."

"By the way, I have high hopes for your daughter's talent and hard work; perhaps she really can become number one in the world."

Koushirou understood immediately and quickly realized what Sith was talking about, his eyes filled with guilt.

Over the past year, he had noticed his daughter's low spirits and regretted saying those words to Guina. However, his wife had passed away early, and as a father, he didn't know how to talk to his daughter.

It seems that after their conversation, Bucky has successfully resolved his daughter's inner conflict.

No wonder he's someone even Dragon and Kuma respect so much!

"Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention in the future!"

After thanking him, Koushirou affectionately patted Kuina's head and secretly resolved never to say anything that would hurt his daughter again.

"Oh, right."

Sith pointed to the second floor of the dojo.

"I suggest Mr. Koushirou install a railing up there, otherwise it would be troublesome if Kuina fell down."

"Um, it would be best to put two more layers of padding underneath, just to be on the safe side."

There shouldn't be any problems with this, right?

Koushirou also glanced at the second floor and, recalling the scene of Kuina falling, broke out in a cold sweat.

"You're right, I'll have workers come to renovate first thing tomorrow morning!"

There was indeed no railing on the second floor of the dojo. Students had fallen and been injured before, but the injuries were not serious, and Koushirou didn't pay much attention to it.

It was only after Sith's reminder that he realized there seemed to be a significant security risk.

Koushirou had a vague feeling that Sith's suggestion might have saved his daughter's life!

"Mr. Bucky, I will always remember your kindness."

He sincerely pulled his daughter and bowed deeply.

At this moment, Kuina suddenly said:

"Father, Mr. Bucky's swordsmanship is also very impressive!"

Sith laughed heartily:

"Don't say that, Kuina. I have no right to show off in front of Mr. Koushirou."

Koushirou glanced at Buggy's hand holding the sword. His posture was stiff, and there were no calluses on his hands that were typical of a swordsman. He was obviously a novice. How could his swordsmanship be good?

But since his own daughter had said so, he could only politely smile and say:

"After the wedding, if Mr. Bucky is interested, please demonstrate something so that I and my students can learn from him."

He was also a sword fanatic; whenever he heard that someone's swordsmanship was exceptional, he couldn't resist watching them practice.

In addition, since Buggy has done Kuina such a great favor, he also wants to give her a gift. If Buggy really knows swordsmanship, then giving him a knife might be a good idea.

The three chatted for a while longer, and then Koushirou said to his daughter:

"Kuina, come back with me. Don't disturb Mr. Buggy's rest."

To everyone's surprise, Kuina glanced cautiously at Bucky and asked:

"Could you tell me more about your experiences at sea?"

She had always longed for the vast ocean, and this feeling intensified after hearing Bucky talk about Charlotte Linlin.

Since he's a friend of Mr. Dragon and his group, he must be very knowledgeable!

More importantly, after having a long talk with Bucky, she began to feel a strange sense of closeness to this older brother and was reluctant to go back so soon.

Sith smiled, his eyes narrowing:

"Extremely happy to."

Seeing that Baqi agreed, Koushirou had no choice but to go with his daughter and return to his house first.

Walking alone under the starry sky, Koushirou walked to a loquat tree and gently stroked its trunk.

This was planted by my wife years ago, and it's now seven or eight meters tall.

"Our daughter has grown up."

His face was full of gentle smiles.
