Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

Garp came over at this time, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Ace and Luffy both had a big bump on their foreheads, so he asked:

"Did you two fight?"

"No."

"Then what's going on with you?"

Ace pointed at Mo Xingchen and said bluntly,

"My uncle called me because I had no money."

Garp was stunned for a second, and saw Ace pointing at Mo Xingchen's little hand, which was holding a few Baileys.

Then he looked at the large and small bags of children's toys, clothes, etc., and with his cleverness as a Monkey, he reacted immediately.

"Duang～duang"

Garp punched Ace and Luffy on the head, each of them, and laughed.

Ace, with a big bump on his head, held back his tears, and firmly stretched out his other hand, looking at Garp and said:

"Give me money!"

Karp's expression suddenly became grim, like the ultimate villain in the movie, threatening the boy while explaining the truth of life.

"People without strength have no right to demand things from others!"

Ace, who encountered a "free meal" for the first time, stood there in a daze for a long time, and almost stimulated his domineering aura in advance!

Then he stretched out his little hand, clenched his fist tightly, looked at Garp fiercely, and said firmly:

"You old bastard! Even if I defeat you, I won't give you any money!"

"Me too!"

"Yohahahahahahaha, this old man is waiting for you~"

Ace felt extremely wronged, so he pulled Luffy out and left without even having time to drink his juice. Garp did not chase him, but sat down next to Mo Xingchen instead.

Makino came back from the kitchen with three glasses of juice, looked at the empty bench, and asked in confusion,

"Where are Ace and Luffy?"

"He was bullied by some crazy grandpa and ran away."

Mo Xingchen spread his hands and said jokingly.

"Yohahaha, by the way, you said last time that you have reached the level of admiral, do you know how to use the advanced level of Haki?"

"Well, I roughly know the direction, but I haven't fully figured out how to do it."

"You know what I am like. I can't explain it to you clearly. Let's fight and experience it for yourself."

"Well, not today. I plan to go to Shimotsuki Village later to visit some old friends. You can fight me when I come back."

"Shimotsuki Village? The name Shimotsuki sounds familiar. Where did you hear it before?"

Garp tilted his head and stroked his beard, racking his brains to recall.

"The swordsman family in Wano Country has a dragon-slaying swordsman named Shimotsuki Ryoma in their ancestor. The current head of the Shimotsuki family is also a great swordsman with great potential. This Junjun of mine was made by his father."

"Oh, so it's this Shimotsuki. I was wondering if it sounded familiar."

When Bogart next to him heard the word "great swordsman", his eyes changed. There was no way, Mo Xingchen's swordsmanship was too high for him to reach, and when he heard that there was an unfamiliar great swordsman, he definitely wanted to see him.

And he is the descendant of Shimotsuki Ryoma, Shimotsuki Ryoma! Which swordsman on the sea did not grow up listening to his legend?

"Um... Lieutenant General Mo, can I come with you? I want to meet other great swordsmen."

"can."

Mo Xingchen looked at Bogart who was expectant and agreed, then turned to Makino and said,

"Little Pudding, I'll ask you to teach Ace and Luffy some cultural knowledge in the morning these two days."

"Okay, don't worry bro."

"Then Bogart, go and inform the soldiers to prepare for sailing. We don't need too many people, just enough to start the warship."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Bogart excitedly ran out of the tavern to organize people.

Because everyone has been at the port these days, there are no soldiers specially assigned to guard the warships, which can be regarded as a holiday given by Cap. However, they have to complete the physical training that should be completed every day before they can move freely.

"Yohahahaha, then let those two brats have a good taste of grandpa's 'Iron Fist of Love' for the next two days!"

Garp laughed loudly and went out to find Ace and the others. Seeing this, Mo Xingchen could only say to Ace and Luffy silently in his heart:

I'm sorry! As your uncle, I can't take care of your grandfather. You two are on your own!

Chapter 47 Three Swords Liu Saolong

After a night of sailing, the warship arrived at the dock of Shimotsuki Village the next morning.

Mo Xingchen left soldiers to guard the warship, and landed with Bogart, heading towards the Isshin Dojo. Halfway along the way, he saw a little boy with green algae hair, holding two wooden swords and running towards the port.

Oh, isn’t this the future vice-chairman, the user of the naming fruit, the famous Three Swordsman Liu Zoro!

"Hey, kid!"

Mo Xingchen called out to Sauron.

"What are you doing? Tell me what you want to say. I'm going to be late!"

Zoro stopped and looked at the two of them anxiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be wearing Isshin Dojo's training uniform! Why are you going to the port to train at Isshin Dojo?"

"Damn it! Did I take the wrong road again?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zoro turned right and prepared to run.

"Hey, hey, hey, that direction doesn't seem right! Never mind, you're already late, so just follow us. We also happen to be going to Isshin Dojo."

Zoro walked over with doubt, and looked at the two people in front of him carefully. He found that they were both wearing swords, so he asked:

"You are swordsmen! So you are going to challenge my master in the dojo?"

"I'm not, he is."

Mo Xingchen smiled and rubbed Zoro's crew cut, pointing at Bogart and said.

But in my heart I was thinking, my family! Who understands, I am rubbing Zoro's head in the pirate world! If this happened to Zoro's little fans, they would probably laugh like pigs.

But what Mo Xingchen didn't expect was that Zoro's road idiot could be so outrageous! In the past, I only thought it was funny when I watched anime, but when you really encounter a short section of road in real life, you have to correct him 7 or 8 times. Sometimes, if you are not careful, he can make you go astray and cause you pain, which is really maddening.

In the end, they had to let Bogart carry him away. Otherwise, it would be considered a good idea for them to reach the dojo before dark.

When the three finally arrived at the dojo, before they could even say hello, they heard a delicate shout, "Let go of Zoro!"

Mo Xingchen and the other person who were standing, and Zoro who was in the air all turned their heads to look towards the source of the sound. A girl with short black hair, holding a wooden sword in her hand, was pointing it directly at Bogart.

When Zoro saw who was coming, his face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt, his hands and feet waved in the air, and he explained loudly:

"I wasn't captured after being defeated in battle! I was just lost, and they just happened to be coming to the dojo, so they took me with them!"

After listening to Zoro's explanation, the little girl put down the wooden sword in her hand and said with disdain:

"Tsk, you little brat who can't even beat me, isn't it only natural that you should be defeated and captured?"

"Ah! Put me down! Put me down! Kuina! I want to challenge you!"

When Zoro heard Kuina's ridicule, his defense broke instantly and he started yelling in the air.

At this time, the people in the dojo also heard the movement at the door. Shimotsuki Koshiro came out and shouted in surprise:

"Mr. Mo!"

"Hey, Koshiro, long time no see!"

Mo Xingchen responded with a smile and waved his hand. Geng Shilang enthusiastically led the two to the reception room and sat down. He personally brewed a cup of tea for them and took the initiative to introduce the two children.

"Mr. Mo, this is my beloved daughter Kuina, whom you met when she was little. This one is my apprentice, Roronoa Zoro. He is a child with great talent in swordsmanship. What do you think of these two children?"

The two people who were kneeling beside them heard their father and master introduce themselves, and saw Mo Xingchen turn his head and look at them, and they quickly straightened their chests.

"Hmm~ A female swordsman who dares to draw her sword and a confused swordsman who has lost his way."

When Kuina heard Mo Xingchen praising her, she also showed a proud expression, while Zoro looked unconvinced, but seeing that his master was so respectful to him, he did not refute on the spot.

"Hahahahahahaha, this kid Zoro really does lack a sense of direction."

"Hahahaha, this kid is so cute. In my opinion, it's not that he lacks a sense of direction, but that he has no sense of direction at all. Just now, when I took him for a walk, he even got lost."

"Hahaha, then let them practice against each other and you can give them some pointers."

"Yes, sure."

Kuina and Zoro stood up and walked to the courtyard, standing opposite each other. After a fight, Kuina won the game cleanly with her delicate sword skills.

Kuina, with a happy look on her face, and Zoro, with an unwilling look on his face, returned to the house, knelt side by side, and waited for Mo Xingchen's guidance.

“Kuina, you have a great talent for swordsmanship, a thorough understanding of sword moves, and a high level of proficiency in swordsmanship. You deserve the title of a genius for your age.

But you have to remember not to be complacent, because as they grow older, most girls are naturally weaker than boys. So you have to strengthen your physique and have a deeper understanding of swordsmanship in order to keep winning.

Your father has high expectations for you, so work hard to become a great swordsman! Girl!"

"Yes!"

Guina listened to Mo Xingchen's evaluation and opinions, and even heard her father's expectations for her, so she answered with high morale and determined eyes.

Mo Xingchen turned around and looked at the depressed Sauron, and said with a smile:

"Zoro, first of all, you have great perseverance, and your dedication to the sword is very noticeable. Many children at your age simply don't have these, and even some adult swordsmen may not have them, so this is very good! I hope you can keep it up.

Of course, you still have many shortcomings now. Remember! Always keep a cool head during the battle. Kendo duels are not just about brute force. Everything around you can determine your victory. You must think during the battle to find the enemy's flaws. So anger will often only make you lose your judgment.

Then it is about physical training and understanding of sword skills. I hope you can defeat the opponent with your strength and also use your strength to defeat the opponent with your strength. Come on, young man! "

"Thank you!"

After listening to Mo Xingchen pointing out his strengths and weaknesses in detail, Zoro thanked him sincerely.

Koshiro listened to Mo Xingchen's instructions to the two children and nodded repeatedly. He found that he was still far from Mo Xingchen. Sometimes he knew what was going on, but he didn't know how to say it, or how to make the children understand what he wanted to express.

"Mr. Mo, why don't you let these two children follow you to practice."

Kuina and Zoro were also expectant when they heard this. After all, from Koshiro's attitude, it could be seen that the gentle man in front of them should be a super powerful kendo master.

"I'm afraid that won't work. My current cruising area has been moved to the first half of the Grand Line. You should know that it's too early for them to attack the pirates there right now. Although I can guarantee their lives, that won't have the effect of actual combat training."

Chapter 48: The Grievance of Koshiro

After listening to Mo Xingchen's words, Koshiro also thought for a while. For a swordsman who came out of the New World, he knew very well that the pirate life in the first half of the Grand Line was indeed too difficult for Kuina and Zoro, who were still two children.

Rather than being protected like that, it would be better for him to stay here and consolidate his kendo foundation. Before Koshiro could speak, Mo Xingchen continued:

"Wait a few years, when Kuina is older, you can let her train in the East China Sea on her own. If she can come to Marinford with her own abilities, I will take her to train. Of course, Zoro can also come if he wants.

But you have to make them ready to die. You should know that there are countless geniuses who strive to become great swordsmen, but there are even more geniuses who fall on the road. After all, the top of the sword is often accompanied by blood and death, and you can't do without this awareness. "

"Yes! Mr. Mo, I've made note of it!

By the way, I haven't asked you yet, sir, what is the matter with you coming here this time?"

"Nothing much. I just happened to be on vacation in the East China Sea, so I thought I'd come over to see an old friend. Is Mr. Kozaburo still in good health?"

"My father is in good health. He should be fishing by the river now and won't be home until later."

Mo Xingchen felt that the small talk was enough, so he introduced Bogart to Koshiro.

"Koshiro, this is Vice Admiral Garp's adjutant, Bogart, who is also a swordsman. He followed me here this time because I want to learn kendo from you."

Bogart then stood up and bowed to Koshiro.

"Mr. Koshiro, please give me your guidance!"

Koshiro also stood up quickly and said with a little doubt:
