I, a Celestial Dragon!

It is true that Oden failed twice. One time he was threatened with the lives of many children, and the other time he was distracted by the danger to the life of his own son Momonosuke.

In the end, he chose to fail because of other people's lives.

But such a person is at best a kind person. Can such a person be a qualified general?

He didn't know that every time he led his subordinates to fight, if he surrendered, who would pity the death of his subordinates?

Especially after the second failure, Oden never took any effective action again.

He just stayed in prison and waited to die, until he was finally thrown into a frying pan by Kaido and fried alive...

Although his death was also somewhat legendary, he carried all his subordinates in the frying pan and saved them from being blown up.

But apart from this, logically speaking, with Oden's connections and strength, as long as he made the right choice, he should not face the fate he is facing now...

Anyway, whenever Shiro heard old man Saburo talking about the story of the great general's palace...

Shiro always felt like he had something to say that he couldn't get out of his mouth...

When I heard my dad tell me the story, I always felt it was just a fool's story...

But why does his father favor him so much?

Dad...I'm afraid he really has Alzheimer's.

Especially now, when Rayleigh also expressed some of his dissatisfaction with Oden to Koshiro...

Koshiro's last bit of good impression of Oden also disappeared.

Because everyone knows that Roger's pirate group is a very harmonious and loyal team. Just because Jabba was scolded by a noble of a certain kingdom, Roger led his pirate group to massacre that kingdom directly.

Be more loyal.

But even in such a team, Vice Captain Rayleigh is dissatisfied with Oden...

In short, Koshiro felt that his father, who was still talking about him when he was dying, also admired Lord Oden all his life.

I'm afraid he's not someone worth following...

……

On the other hand, let’s not mention Koshiro’s fantasies about Oden.

Gawain carried Zoro directly to the training ground of the dojo.

When they reached the training ground, Gawain put the cursing Zoro down, then he drew out the Ryūmei Kotetsu and gently swung the sharp blade.

"Alas, I have grown too fast, and now Lu Ming Hu Che seems a little short to me.

But it doesn't matter, it's just right to use a knife like this to teach a little devil like you a lesson."

After laughing and teasing, Gawain held the Ryūmei Kotetsu and pointed the sword towards Zoro.

On the other side, looking at Gawain standing upright with a knife in hand, Zoro cursed and spoke.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Why are you suddenly teaching me a lesson?

Aren’t you a big shot? How come a big shot like you is more reckless than a little devil like me?

Are you sure you are really the Tianlong person that Master and the village chief are carefully welcoming?"

While making rude complaints, Zoro simply pulled out the Wado Ichimonji.

Opposite Zoro, Gawain responded to him with a smile.

"Little boy, how could you understand? Children are not the only ones who have the right to be willful.

In the real world, the higher the status and the more power a person has, the more qualified they are to act as they please."

Having said this, Gawain walked forward slowly with his sword in hand, and continued speaking as he walked.

"Besides, kid, as swordsmen, aren't we supposed to draw our swords at all times?

So why ask why? "

"you're right!"

The moment Gawain finished speaking, Zoro nodded quickly, then excitedly bit the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth.

Then, he crossed his hands and reached to his waist, holding the two swords that the strange old man had given him.

“The knife in your hand is also a big and sharp knife, right!

His name is Lu Ming Hu Che, right?

Although I don’t know why you came, nor what kind of person you are!

But at this moment, please feel free to draw your sword against me!

Celestial Dragon!!!"

At this moment, Zoro shouted excitedly to Gawain, and at the same time, he placed the two knives in his hands upright in front of the one on his mouth!

Then he yelled.

"Santo-ryu·Ghost Slayer!!!"

The moment Zoro's voice fell, Gawain's eyes narrowed. In reality, it was actually quite strange to see Zoro's three-sword style posture.

However, Zoro's three-sword style is actually a variation of the two-sword style most of the time.

The knife in his mouth was more used to block the enemy's escape route and did not participate in the attack.

However, the guy who developed this way of using the sword...

All I can say is that his talent in swordsmanship is quite impressive.

In addition to his talent in swordsmanship, Zoro seems to have an even more powerful talent, which is... speaking.

How the hell is this guy talking while biting the sword? ! !

And this is now, now he is just talking.

If it was five years later, Zoro would still be writing poetry with his sword between his teeth!!!

Gawain still can't forget Zoro's future words... Nine mountains, eight seas, one world...

In short, in the blink of an eye, although Gao Wen's mind was full of daydreams, his hands did not slow down at all.

Facing Zoro's basic three-sword sword technique, Demon Slash, which had no future momentum at this time.

Gawain stood there with the sword in one hand, watching the path of Zoro's sword and easily blocking it.

clang! ! !

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and without waiting for Zoro to pull back, Gawain suddenly rotated the blade, causing the blade of Lu Ming Hu Che to hit Zoro's left hand horizontally.

pat!

With a crisp sound, the sword in Zoro's left hand fell to the ground in an instant. Looking at the sword jumping on the ground, Gawain frowned.

"Boring, at the age of sixteen you are not even a qualified swordsman.

In other words, how could a qualified swordsman lose his sword? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain turned his sword again, and then he held the blade upside down and pressed it forward hard. Zoro was immediately pushed back more than dozens of steps by Gawain's sword!

As soon as he stood firm, Zoro immediately uttered Wado Ichimonji and held this meaningful sword in his left hand.

Then he clenched the sword with both hands and spoke with an expression far more excited than before.

"It's like strolling in the garden, or in other words, it's as easy as using chopsticks to pick up food to defeat me!

What a strong swordsman! Are you a swordsman? "

"Swordsman?"

Hearing Zoro's question, Gawain thought for a moment.

“I’m probably not a swordsman. After all, I seldom fight with a sword. I seem to be a little short of the so-called swordsmanship realm of cutting paper and iron.

But combat effectiveness is not only determined by realm, right?

Just based on a series of basics such as speed, strength, eyesight, reaction, etc.

I think most swordsmen would not be my match.

And my enemy must at least be a great swordsman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain held the sword upside down and turned it slightly, and the sword immediately returned to its original position.

Then he raised his sword with both hands and rushed towards the alert Zoro with light feet!

Seeing Gawain rushing towards him, Zoro gritted his teeth and held his two swords in front of his chest.

The opponent is not an ordinary trash. The airflow impact of Eagle Wave alone is not enough to make him retreat. I must use all my strength!

So, Zoro gritted his teeth and made the two swords in his hands into a shape like rhino horns.

Then he sprinted forward, yelling as loudly as he could.

"Two-Sword Style: Rhinoceros Return!!!"

Sa! ! !

Invisible air currents gathered on Zoro's sword. The way Zoro charged with the sword in hand was like a rhinoceros that would never return!

Looking at Zoro rushing towards him, Gawain smiled and shook his head.

“The style of going all out is great, but the fancy names are meaningless.

You... are just a stab after all...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain fiercely stabbed the blade of Lu Minghu Che straight into the tips of Zoro's two swords!

A moment later, the tip of Gawain's sword was right on top of Zoro's sword!

Just as Zoro's body was shaken by the violent vibration and stopped for a moment, Gawain turned the sword in his hand.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Lu Ming Hu Che hit Zoro's right wrist hard, knocking the knife in his right hand directly to the ground!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gawain kicked Zoro and sent him flying backwards.

Seeing that Zoro had rolled to a stop, Gawain spoke softly.

"The sky over the East China Sea is too low to sharpen a swordsman's blade, little devil.

Your swordsmanship talent is the best I have ever seen, but your time in the East China Sea has really ruined your swordsmanship!"

After he finished speaking, Gawain shook his head slightly. Zoro's sword was indeed delayed for a long time in the East China Sea.

In the original plot of One Piece, Zoro met Luffy when he was nineteen years old, and he had been at sea for two years at that time.

Although he had the title of Pirate Hunter at that time, in reality, he might not even be able to beat Arlong.

But since meeting Luffy, and then traveling all the way to the Grand Line and the New World.

In just two years, the 21-year-old Zoro killed even King Jin on the horse.

How big is the gap between them?

It's like heaven and earth difference!

From this we can see that the environment in the East China Sea is indeed too comfortable. Zoro, who lacks strong opponents, has been delayed too much by this sea!

On the side, Zoro struggled to get up from the ground. Gawain's kick really made him feel humiliated!

He gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood, then held the Wado Ichimonji in both hands and looked at Takawa.

Coincidentally, he saw the side of Gawain shaking his head!

Zoro immediately took Gawain's action as Gawain's disdain for him, so Zoro gritted his teeth and yelled at Gawain viciously.

"Aren't you a swordsman? Why did you kick me away?

Is it because you don't want your sword to be stained with the blood of a guy like me?

come!

Since this is a contest between swordsmen, let the swords in your hands do the talking!

You who don't want to leave a scar for me, do you think I will shrink back before life and death?

How could I let you look down on me, bastard!!!"

After roaring to this point, Zoro held Wado Ichimonji in both hands and rushed towards the big tree near the training ground.
