I, a Celestial Dragon!

So, go ahead and attack me, even if I still can't withstand a single blow, I will only remember everything that happened today, and then continue to improve myself until I can truly stand in front of you and Hawkeye!!!"

Shouting out his determination, Zoro held up his two swords and looked at Gawain with determination.

And Gawain, looking at Zoro's gradually tense muscles, he slowly shook his head.

"Zoro, forget it, I don't want to fulfill your request to challenge me.

It’s not that I don’t like playing house with you. After all, everyone has been a weakling at some point. When I couldn’t even catch a fish, didn’t I have Rayleigh and Gion to help me teach me some moves?

It's just that, looking at you like this, although I feel your determination, I don't feel your respect for me, little devil...

After all, do you think I really enjoy fighting a wounded man when you think you're ready?

Or do you think I'm someone who takes advantage of others when you don't respect your own body?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Wen gently turned his long sword, and Lu Ming Hu Che immediately returned to his scabbard.

At the same time, Gawain turned around and walked leisurely into the distance.

Looking at Gawain's departing back, Zoro's brows were furrowed with regret. He hesitated for a long time and finally did not take any action. Instead, he stood there regretfully, watching Gawain gradually leave.

And just as Gawain was about to leave the forest, he finally stopped.

Turning around slowly, Gawain gave Zoro a bright smile and said with a smile.

“Haha, okay, okay, you really are a patient kid.

How can I bear to leave a young person like you with regrets?

Come on, attack with your most powerful move, but you only have this one chance.

If you want me to favor you, then show me all the skills you have acquired in the past few days of special training!"

"Very good!!!"

As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Zoro immediately clenched his two swords excitedly. He suddenly bit the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth and assumed the standard posture of the Three Swords Style!

"The secret of the three sword styles, the thirty-six trouble winds!!!"

With a roar of all his might, he and his sword turned into a hurricane, rushing towards Gawain's position.

Facing the hurricane-like attack, Gawain raised his sword in his left hand and blocked it fiercely, then his right hand passed through the hurricane and grabbed Zoro's neck!

After forcing Zoro to stop, Gawain smiled and knocked on Zoro's head.

"Not bad, you've only been fighting with Dashigi for a few days, but you've already developed such a powerful new move. You really are very talented, kid.

But unfortunately, I am leaving now and can no longer play this kind of house game with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain let go of Zoro's neck, then reached out and rubbed Zoro's hair hard while seeing Zoro's helpless expression.

While rubbing, Gao Wen asked with a smile.

"How about you just come with me, little brat?

Don’t worry about the fact that you are not yet seventeen and are not old enough to go to sea. Just go aboard my Xuanniao and continue your future life.

I even have teenagers here, so one more or one less won’t make much difference.

What do you think, kid?"

Chapter 347 The Future of Wano Country

"What do I think?"

After hearing Gawain's words, Zoro pursed his lips and put the three swords back into their sheaths.

Then, he said, shirtless, with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

“I have no objection, since I will be going to sea early next year anyway.

Although I have lived in the dojo for six or seven years, this is not my home after all, and my master is not my father, so I have no reason to stay.

As for boarding your ship... it's actually a good choice. You're not a pirate anyway, and you seem to be some big shot?"

Having said that, Zoro asked Gawain as he tied the turban on his head.

“Uncle, who the hell are you, and what does Tianlongren mean?

I have grown up so much, but it was only after I met you that I heard of the name "Celestial Dragon"?

Are you a noble, or just a rich man?

But that has nothing to do with me. You are a nice person and very strong. There are many strong people on the ship who can help me continue to improve.

Anyway, apart from the fact that your boat is too big and it's a bit easy to get lost, I can't think of any reason not to follow you."

Having said that, Zoro slapped his scabbard and nodded heavily to Gawain.

"So, what should I call you now? Should I call you Captain?"

"Just call me uncle, little guy."

Gawain said with a smile as he waved for Zoro to follow him. Just like that, the two of them walked towards the pier of Frost Moon Village, one in front and one behind.

While strolling, Gawain found it interesting that this boy Zoro had gotten on board so easily.

But come to think of it, he had originally gone to sea at the age of seventeen and became a pirate hunter.

As long as you don't join pirates or do anything bad, there's nothing unreasonable about joining the Xuanniao, right?

While Gawain was thinking, he continued to speak.

"You should have noticed these days that there are no special rules on my ship. As long as you don't betray me, I can tolerate each of you in my own way.

As for the name, no matter how important the occasion is, you can call me whatever you like.

I don't need to use the names my own people call me to enhance my status and authority in the eyes of others. We can get back the respect of outsiders with fists and knives."

"what!"

Hearing Gawain's words, Zoro nodded with a smile.

“Then I understand, uncle, it seems I did not make the wrong decision.

This kind of atmosphere is pretty good. It sounds even more relaxed than in the dojo. I’m even looking forward to it.

By the way, now that I'm on board, I'll...

Can I continue to challenge you?"

"of course."

Gao Wen nodded decisively at first, but then shook his head.

“But I suggest that you start by challenging the young people first, and then when you have defeated Ace and the others, and then defeated Lucci and the others.

Only then will you be qualified to challenge me and the cadres."

After he finished speaking, Gawain patted Zoro on the shoulder, then he raised his hand and gestured to the cadres waiting near the dock.

“I don’t need to say more, you probably all know that this guy has already joined us.

Mr. Zefa, it looks like you have one more child to take care of, haha."

"A piece of cake!"

Zefa shook his head grimly, then clenched his mechanical fist.

Thrusting his seastone fist in Zoro's direction, Zephyr spoke to him sternly.

"Hey, kid, enjoy your last bit of freedom!

In the days to come, I will train you in the devil's way!

You have no right to be absent or lazy, and you have no right to be willful or refuse. Do you hear me?"

"heard it!!!"

At this moment, not only was Zoro not worried, but his eyes were wide open with excitement.

Because of the interactions over the past few days, Zoro already knows the meaning of the name Zephyr!

He is the teacher of three current naval admirals, and also the teacher of 80 percent of the navy's rear admirals and lieutenant admirals!

If I have an instructor like this to supervise my training in the future, I won’t have to worry about the future anymore!

As for whether the training is hard, haha, how could Zoro take those things seriously.

Since childhood, Zoro has been a complete training fanatic, and training only makes him happy!

On the side, looking at the fire burning in Zoro's eyes, Zephyr rarely showed a relieved smile.

He said to Gawain while laughing.

“Captain, this guy looks good and energetic!

These little brats on our ship, especially the boys, huh!

Those guys are lazier than each other!

Ace only likes to develop his fruit ability, Sanji only likes cooking and refuses to fight or train with his hands, and Usopp is a bastard who cries while training and doesn't give me any peace of mind at all!

I thought that the male disciples under me were destined to be like this, but the female disciples are more determined than each other.

Nami and Nojiko both took the initiative to practice more after work. Iska was a training maniac and trained at least sixteen hours a day. The two kids, Vivi and Uta, also started preschool training recently. Robin spent most of her time on the training ground besides reading.

Looking at these girls, I feel ashamed for the boys under me!

But now it’s all right, haha, the spirit of this little brat, Sauron, can finally win face for the young men on our ship!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr laughed and grabbed Zoro's shoulders, leaving him no time to refuse. He took him across the sea with Moon Steps and rushed to the training ground of the Black Bird.

After landing, Zefa pointed directly at his feet and said.

"Little ghost, this is the first lesson I'm going to teach you, Moon Step!

Come on, run, don’t stop until I tell you to! ! ! "

……

Not to mention Mr. Zefa who was excited because he finally had a normal male disciple, on the dock...

Looking at the disciple being taken away by Zefa like this, even with Koshiro's self-control, he finally widened his eyes a little.

Not far from him, Big Bear thought for a moment and then spoke softly.

"Shiro, you are actually raising this disciple of yours as your son, right?"

On the side, hearing what Okuma said, Koshiro took a deep breath, then shook his head in relief.

“Even if he is a real son, as a father, I should not stop him from going to sea. How can he be a man if he doesn’t travel all over the world?

What's more, he is just my disciple after all, so I have no reason to stop him."

After he finished speaking, Koshiro felt around in his arms and took off a necklace.

Then, Koshiro took out another book from his arms.

Holding the pendant and the book, Koshiro thought again and again, and finally came to the vicinity of Smoker and Tashigi.

After chuckling and nodding at the two of them, Koshiro stood in front of Dashiqi and sighed.

"Tashigi, maybe you don't know that you and my dead daughter...are almost 100% similar.

Looking at you, I can't help but want to give these things to you!"

After he finished speaking, Koshiro did not give Tashigi a chance to refuse. He directly put the thing in Tashigi's hand!

Seeing that Tashigi blushed and wanted to refuse, Koshiro shook his head and emphasized.

“I cannot refuse a gift from an elder, especially since it is not a valuable thing.

This necklace was once worn by my daughter. Keeping it by my side only adds to my sadness.

As for this book, it is nothing more than a kendo note for the next life.

Although I don't have much fame, I have barely reached the threshold of a great swordsman.

Although my understanding may not be as suitable for you as Lieutenant General Gion's, it can still provide you with a little insight."

Having said that, Koshiro narrowed his eyes and smiled at Tashigi.

He continued while laughing.
