Pirate: I am King Luffy

"Sure, Zoro, you know my dream. I want to become the king." said the black-haired boy.

Zoro hummed.

"So, I am looking for a step that is strong enough. Can Zoro be my step? Support me and make me the king?"

Luffy reached out to Zoro.

"In return, I'll tell you how to become stronger."

"I don't know what a king is, but I want to be the world's greatest swordsman. I promise you!"

He held Luffy's hand.

"Well, let's drink milk together!"

Zoro was holding a cup of hot milk in a dilemma. "Will this thing really work? I don't need to fill my teeth..."

"Never mind that. Just do as you are told. We are just kids, right? Drinking milk is no big deal."

Luffy gulped down the milk, and Zoro had no choice but to do as he was told.

"Although the swordsman's training is Su Zhen, if you want to become stronger, Su Zhen can only provide too little help. You have to train every corner of your body."

In terms of the efficiency of Suzhen's physical training, it is not as good as fitness.

"Let's start with the most basic training!"

Luffy demonstrated the most standard push-ups to Zoro.

Later, Luffy had a little follower by his side. Zoro followed Luffy in training no matter day or night.

He did not go to harass Shimotsuki Koshiro. After all, the old man was not sure whether he could give rewards for the side quests, so he decided to make the best use of his time to learn swordsmanship.

Shimotsuki Koshiro has his own teaching method. Students will run around the dojo and then engage in actual combat against each other. Kuina, Zoro, and Luffy's opponents are all adult swordsmen in the dojo.

This is also a worthy opponent for Luffy.

The adult swordsmen here are a level stronger than the King's Guards of Elegia.

Even so, he easily defeated the adults.

"You three are all making obvious progress." Shimotsuki Koshiro was amazed at the three children's understanding of swordsmanship.

Was all this caused by that boy? He looked at the boy with a bright smile.

If the speed at which Zoro and Kuina became stronger was 1 before, then now, Zoro has reached level 2, and Kuina is 1.6.

Kuina's progress was obviously slightly slower than Zoro's, which made Koshiro feel a little regretful.

But, what these two said... Koshiro looked at Kuina and Zoro with a gentle smile.

At the side of the dojo, a girl with red and white hair covered her mouth and giggled.

"You three can learn more advanced techniques."

He called Luffy, Kuina, and Zoro to his front.

"Listen carefully, there are swordsmen who can cut anything in the world, and there are swordsmen who can cut anything."

He was holding a piece of paper and the Wado Ichimonji.

Slowly pulling the famous sword out of its sheath, his momentum changed, and he threw the light paper into the air, and Shimotsuki Koshiro slashed with all his might.

"what!"

The famous sword cut beautifully on the paper.

Everyone thought that with the sharp blade of the Wado Ichimonji, it would be enough to break the paper just by touching it, let alone swinging it with such full force.

But the paper floated on the blade and did not split in two.

The Armament Haki in version one.

Luffy saw it clearly.

There is armament color wrapped around the blade, and the attribute of defense makes the blade unable to cut paper.

The evolution path of swordsmen is different from that of ordinary people. They hold the sharpest blades and can easily cut everything in the world. Therefore -

"Listen carefully, the strongest sword is the one that protects what you want to protect."

Precisely because the blade is sharp, we need to learn how to use weapons that can blunt it.

Even a piece of light, thin and soft white paper can stay safely above the blade.

It has the gentleness and romance of a swordsman, but it would be better if it was said more bluntly.

You have to learn Armament Haki.

"In addition, all things have their own breath. As long as you follow their breath and cut down, even a wooden sword will be enough to cut through steel..." Shimotsuki Koshiro continued.

Luffy suddenly became enlightened. The swordsmen's breathing of all things is the observation Haki of version one, right?

Luffy thought about the contrast between Zoro as a swordsman and a normal fighter.

This guy will use his momentum to overwhelm his opponent with the "Great Shock". Isn't this kind of sword skills the effect of Conqueror's Haki?

So, in order to stand out from the crowd, swordsmen have corresponding words to describe their weapons, knowledge, and domineering style, right?

Armament = Ryuo, Observation = Breathing of All Things, Ghost Energy = Conqueror's Haki Impact?

Chapter 88 Don’t Think Too Much

Shimotsuki Koshiro talked endlessly about the advanced swordsmanship to the outstanding disciples in the dojo.

He was looking forward to it: "When you can understand this realm, you will have entered the world of the strong."

"How far you can go depends on your own practice."

Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at the blade in his hand.

He put away his famous sword and looked at Kuina.

"From now on, you will practice with the real thing. Kuina, this famous sword will be kept by you completely."

This is the famous sword passed down from his father, and was originally given to Kuina for safekeeping, but when the pirates came, he picked up the sword again.

"Yes!"

Kuina was very excited. She had touched a real sword in Uta's world and felt its heavy weight. She no longer looked down on the bamboo sword.

Koshiro looked at Zoro and said, "Here are two blunt swords. I leave them to you. They were made by my father. He saw that you were diligent, so he gave them to you."

Koshiro handed two blunt, unsharpened knives to Zoro, and then looked at Luffy, "You already have a knife, so I won't give you anything more."

He said.

Luffy nodded slightly, he came here to learn swordsmanship.

Wait... everyone has it except me, is that really true?

When giving the sword to Zoro, he specifically mentioned that it was Shimotsuki Kozaburo who struck him.

Is this a hint for me to go harass that old man as soon as possible?

After all, I have been practicing on the island for more than a month.

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

Luffy fell into deep thought, was he overthinking?

The profession of swordsman has its own romance, and Luffy couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Something's wrong. Why am I thinking so much? I just want to harass that guy to see if I can get some equipment.

After figuring this out, Luffy suddenly became enlightened.

Have I been thinking too much lately?

I'm just a child now!

Knowledge must have cursed me!

"Kuina, please take good care of this sword." Shimotsuki Koshiro said to Kuina.

The latter held the famous sword and nodded.

In the evening, the small group of four met again in their dreams.

"Kuina, let's fight with real swords!"

Having obtained two real swords, Zoro was full of confidence and he immediately challenged Kuina.

"Hey, I won't lose!"

Kuina drew out the Wado Ichimonji.

Luffy looked at the two of them, then looked at the sky where the moon was rising above the branches.

He took out a wooden shakuhachi and blew it. Ever since he set off fireworks in the dream world, Uta has liked scenes with the moon. Although the night was hazy, it was still bright enough to see things.

Accompanied by the desolate and vast music, Zoro attacked Kuina with two katana. As swift and fast as ever, the two katana danced like windmills and slashed at Kuina one after another.

"He has the momentum of a two-sword style!"

Kuina smiled slightly, but dodged and no longer took Zoro's attack head-on, instead relying on skills.

"It's about time you change your reckless rushing style!"

Kuina's famous sword collides with Zoro's double blades, and every collision can gain a great advantage. She can still defeat Zoro within five rounds, but she doesn't seem to intend to do so.

Uta sat next to Luffy with her knees hugged, her little head resting on the boy's shoulder, listening to the melodious music and admiring the swordsmen's excellent skills.

Even though Kuina was stalling for time, Zoro was still defeated.

Age, height, diet, and other factors will affect the effectiveness of exercise.

"Zoro, you've really become stronger." Wado Ichimonji fell.

The girl looked at the boy in front of her who was defeated by her again.

Zoro became stronger, and she was unable to dodge and had a strand of her hair cut off by this guy. Fortunately, it happened in the dream world and had no effect on her real body.

This was the first time in recent years that Zoro had caused her harm.

"Luffy is training me." Zoro said, "But I still can't beat him, Kuina."

"You are only nine years old..." she said.

Kuina did notice that Luffy was training Zoro, but they were boys, so even though Kuina was curious about Luffy's training methods, she couldn't do the same as Uta and train with boys without caring about the consequences.

Aside from the dojo classes, where she would train with the boys, she usually trained on her own, and because of Uta she would meet them at night.

Zoro was once a lone wolf who would find things in the woods to train himself.

They were so obsessed with the first place that they left a big gap between themselves and the other apprentices.

Kuina looked at Luffy who was playing music on the side, and couldn't help but sigh that Uta's ability was really useful.

Let your body train itself and free your mind to learn other things.

She walked towards the boy, sword in hand.

"Luffy, I want to challenge you!" she said to Luffy.

The cold knife pointed at the boy's throat.

"Really? I accept."

Luffy nodded with a smile, he stretched out his hand to the ground beside him, and the navy sword appeared in his palm.

"Come on Kuina, beat up Luffy!"

Uta clasped her hands into a small trumpet shape and cheered for Kuina.

"I am an egalitarian, so I won't give women any slack."

Luffy said.

"I can't ask for it!"

She was solemn, holding the blade in both hands, and her physical condition was better than ever. The confrontation with Zoro was just a warm-up, and the boy in front of her was her opponent.
