Pirate: I am King Luffy

Page 52

"Luffy has a lot of combat experience. Was this also taught by Garp?"

"How did that guy do it?" Shanks looked at Luffy with some confusion.

In the few months on the ship, Luffy had seldom sparred with adults, and had rarely faced enemies, and Shanks had no idea how a seven-year-old could have so much combat experience.

When it comes to raising children, Shanks feels he needs to compete with Garp.

Although he cannot beat Garp in terms of strength, he can still compete with him in other areas.

"Hmph~"

Uta became proud.

"Luffy, however, is often beaten by Uta!"

Uta said proudly.

"Ah?" Shanks looked at Uta's thin arms and legs in confusion.

"In Uta's world, you can summon a lot of soldiers with music."

Uta told the truth.

"I see... Although the body will remain in the real world, the spirit will actually grow. It's really incredible."

Shanks understood why Luffy had so much practical experience.

Even without using Haki, he could still fight the girl who had an excellent master on equal terms.

This kid has become quite skilled at switching between iron blocks and paper drawings.

The Six Styles are also relatively advanced techniques used in actual combat.

Faced with Luffy who could change the weight of his attacks at will, the female swordsman who lacked practical experience had been completely suppressed, and her defeat was only a matter of time.

Too bad.

I am so far behind!

Kuina had to admit this.

Once the thought of losing arises, it will magnify wildly in the mind.

She originally planned to rely on her physical advantage to wear down the opponent.

But... in terms of physical fitness, she was not as good as the child who was four years younger than her.

Why? Why?

The mind is in a mess, the sword is slow, and the strength is dissipated.

She just mechanically turned the katana in her hand, striking the bamboo sword opposite from bottom to top against the wind.

click-

A clear and loud sound was heard, and the bamboo sword in Luffy's hand finally couldn't withstand the force and was broken directly.

The broken half spun in the air and finally fell to the ground.

The bamboo sword in Kuina's hand was also covered with cracks. She was panting and watching the scene.

The hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, and sweat had soaked through his clothes. He felt uncomfortable, all over.

Especially the pair of organs that had begun to develop, which made her feel uncomfortable in high-speed collisions.

Why do women have to have such things that get in the way?

If not, my speed can be improved to a higher level...

Sweat dripped down Kuina's cheeks.

At this moment, she was somewhat glad that the knife on the opposite side was broken.

This way, at least she doesn't have to take the risk of losing.

But as a swordsman, Kuina's pursuit of glory made her hate the slightest bit of joy in her heart.

She just lowered her head, keeping her eyes fierce, preparing for the boy's possible attack.

"You are quite capable..."

She saw the boy raise the broken blade in his hand and observe the gap on it.

"I understand a little bit about the differences between swordsmen, but there are still many problems in transferring power to the sword, and my wrist is not feeling well either..."

As Luffy spoke, he turned the broken blade in his hand, trying to make a handsome sword flower, but the broken blade flew out and hit the outside of the field.

Shanks reached out and grabbed him, which scared the apprentices who were watching the fight.

"Luffy, you still have a long way to go."

Shanks smiled and spun his sword around.

Kuina looked at their interaction in bewilderment.

These pirates...

"Your swordsmanship is amazing. So please teach me swordsmanship. Shanks will be credited to it."

The boy pointed at the red-haired pirate standing nearby.

Chapter 72 Girl and Girl

"The challenge is over!"

Shimotsuki Koshiro announced the result. He didn't say who won or lost, but everyone thought that Kuina lost.

She acted too embarrassed in the face of Luffy's ease.

Kuina also felt that she had lost. She just bit her lips, and the knuckles holding the sword turned a little white.

For the first time, I tasted failure.

"Luffy, is this your first time using a sword?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro calmly passed by his daughter and asked the young man with strange powers.

"I usually practiced boxing and footwork, but I just swung the sword randomly."

Facing the teacher, he simply revealed his information.

"I see..." Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded slightly.

"Welcome to join us."

There is a new ridiculously strong player in Shimotsuki's dojo.

"Then, let's hold a party to celebrate Luffy joining the dojo!" Shanks shouted, raising his arms, still holding the broken blade.

"Oh!"

The pirates cheered.

Shimotsuki Koshiro just watched the pirates quarreling gently.

"Shiro, don't be disrespectful to the guests. At this time, we need to make oden."

An elderly man smoking a pipe appeared in the dojo at some point and spoke to Shimotsuki Koshiro.

"Grandfather..." Kuina heard the voice and looked up.

Her eyes were a little moist, and the movement of raising her head made it almost impossible to contain the tears in her eyes, which were about to roll down.

"Go change your clothes, Kuina. It's a joy to meet an opponent."

"…Yes!"

She pulled herself together and turned to walk towards the backyard.

"A sad sound."

Uta's eyes moved slightly. As a music practitioner, she was more sensitive to the emotions contained in the tone.

Following the voice, Uta looked towards Kuina, and sadness surrounded the girl.

why?

Uta didn't quite understand, it was just a loss.

She slid off Shanks' back and quietly ran to the backyard.

The pirates were too active and attracted a lot of attention, so no one cared about a child running around.

After all, there is no danger here.

……

When her body was completely swallowed by the darkness, Kuina let out a silent roar. She pounded the ground softly with her fist without making a sound, and drops of water moistened the wooden board under her feet.

【Women cannot reach the top.】

Her body was cold, and she felt a little scared when she thought about this reality that had been buried deep in her heart.

The boy who defeated her has appeared.

Stronger than her, and more qualified to be the strongest swordsman.

What is the purpose of all the hard work and persistence?

Respected as a genius female swordsman, she meets an even more talented boy.

Lost miserably...

Want to give up?

Kuina knew her father's attitude. As a woman, she could never get her father's approval.

For this reason, she has maintained an undefeated streak, and even the masters of the dojo are no match for her.

Little did she expect that she would be defeated by a child four years younger.

"You are very strong, why are you crying here?"

Wuta leaned against the door railing, feeling somewhat confused.

"who!"

Kuina clenched her fists and looked towards the source of the sound angrily.

She was the only girl who cheered for Luffy.

She was a girl who was taller than herself, wearing a bright and beautiful yellow dress and had moist skin. Her chest was slightly heaving, and its outline was not as big as her own.

This made Kuina a little envious. If her place was the same as hers, maybe she could win.

Kuina thought subconsciously.

"You won't understand."

Kuina said in a cold voice.

Being caught looking sad made Kuina a little angry, and she spoke coldly to Uta.

"You won't understand if I don't tell you!"

Uta also became angry. Such words were so annoying. They reminded her of the saying "Uta will understand when she grows up."

It's fine for Shanks to say that since he's an adult, Luffy also said that!

Bastard stinky brother!

She didn't expect that her "sister" Kuina would say that. It was so hateful.

You are a child too, so stop telling riddles!

Uta put his hands on his hips and glared at Kuina.
