Chapter XVII

On the vast sea, a flat boat is slowly floating, there are two people on the small wooden boat, one has green algae hair, with three knives at his waist, and the other person, wearing a straw hat and a short coat, lying on the boat weakly. These two are none other than Luffy and Zoro who went to sea.

"I'm starving," Luffy said weakly, eliciting a roar from Zoro's fangs, "It's not you yet!! You eat up all of our food for a week! ”

"Haha, yes." Luffy touched his head and smirked, when he was trained by Grandpa Karp before, he developed the physique of a big stomach king, and the habit of being able to fall asleep anytime and anywhere, after practicing Na Lingdu, his need for food is even more, the aura of this world is sufficient, and there is a lot of energy contained in food, and now his strength has recovered from the nine heavens of the previous life, and even due to the change in the physique of the rubber fruit, his physical body is stronger than the previous life! But he also discovered a shortcoming of Na Ling Du, Na Ling Du is to use food energy to strengthen the speed, strength, and strength of the body, this is a path that someone came up with in the case of lack of spiritual energy in later generations, strictly speaking, it belongs to external strength, but it is cultivated to the Nine Heavens of the Day after tomorrow, Luffy doesn't know how to break the shackles of heaven and earth, and he is promoted to the congenital, his strength has stopped now, according to what Grandpa Karp said, his strength already has the strength of a major general, but due to physical reasons, he has now fallen into a bottleneck, You can only increase your strength by developing moves. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Luffy, who was thinking about it, didn't pay attention, and the wind swept the straw hat on Luffy's head and flew out!

"Ahh My hat! Luffy was in a hurry, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, and the old man with his hand grabbed the straw hat, brought it back, and carried it on his back.

"Luffy, what's going on with your hand? Have you ever eaten a Devil Fruit? Zoro was a little dumbfounded, he hadn't seen Luffy make a move before, and he didn't know that Luffy still had such an ability.

"Ah, that's right, I'm a rubber man who eats rubber fruits" Luffy laughed.

Zoro sat back, he was about to get up and help Luffy grab his hat, "Yu, is your hat important to you?" ”

"Yes, this is my baby, he is my agreement with Shanks!" Luffy smiled, but in his heart he remembered another more important agreement, to become the strongest, to walk in front of the boy, and let him resurrect his wife and children!

"Agreed?" Sauron muttered, his eyes foggy, he also had an important pact on his shoulders. Zoro's mind went back ten years...

At that time, Zoro was still a nine-year-old ghost, he was an orphan since he was a child, his hometown was Frost Moon Village in the East China Sea, there was a very famous gym in Frost Moon Village, many people in the village practiced swordsmanship here, that is, the Yixin Gym, the owner of the Gym was called Koshiro, Zoro held a thatch in his mouth, looked at the Ichshin Gym in front of him, smiled, spit out the straw and walked into the gym.

Many people in the gym are practicing chopping with wooden knives, sparring, these people have adults and children, shouting and shouting, the atmosphere is very strong, the master of the gym, Koshiro, is a middle-aged man wearing glasses, sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand and watching the disciples train.

"I'm here to kick the gym!" Zoro picked up the qi of the dantian and shouted loudly. The hall fell silent all of a sudden.

Zoro smiled proudly: "I'm going to challenge your pavilion master, if I win, this gym will be mine, if I lose, I'll join your gym!" "No matter what, it's all my earnings, I'm dying of hunger, this gym should be able to cover food and housing, Zoro thought in his heart.

"Hehe, kid, this is not a place to play, please go back." Koshiro smiled, such a young child challenged himself, this is not a trouble, and when it is spread, it is said that I bully the small with the big.

"What, are you scared? If you're afraid, throw in the towel. Zoro raised an eyebrow and continued to provoke.

"Okay, since Xiaoyou insists on this, Gu Yina, you come to practice with this little friend, little friend, if you can defeat the little girl Gu Yina, this gym is yours." Koshiro smiled confidently, Gu Yina can't even beat those adults in the gym, isn't it easy to deal with a little hairy child?

Out of the crowd came a girl, about eleven years old, with a wooden knife in her hand.

"Just her? Are you sure you want to send a girl to fight me? Zoro pursed his lips in disdain.

Gu Yina said angrily: "Do you look down on girls? I'm going to teach you a lesson! ”

"It's over, Guina is angry..."

"This kid actually dares to anger Gu Yina, it is estimated that he will be cleaned up very badly!"

"Will be beaten into a pig's head, Gu Yina hates others to look down on her the most."

"Let's wait to see the show..."

Those students gloated and discussed, Zoro was a little frightened when he heard this, and he stubbornly picked up a dozen wooden knives and divided them in both hands and said, "Don't regret losing!" As he spoke, he rushed forward.

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, the Guina wooden knife hit Zoro's wrist, and the wooden knife in Zoro's hand fell to the ground in pain, making a clattering sound. Gu Yina said coldly: "The more knives, the better, you are not even as good as a novice." ”

"Don't underestimate me!" Zoro gritted his teeth, threw away the extra wooden knife, only took one on the left and one on the left, and rushed up to Gu Yina to launch a random beating, but saw that Gu Yina's body did not move, blocking left and right, and from time to time a wooden knife hit Zolon's body, and his face quickly knocked Zoro to the ground, at this time, Zoro's face was swollen and became a pig's head, he lay on the ground and gasped: "I lost, according to the agreement, I will join your gym!" Guina, I'm going to beat you! ”

Zoro joined the gym, he can't forgive himself for losing under Gu Yina, he keeps exercising himself, he completes the training of the gym perfectly, whether it is weight running, sit-ups, barbells, and other physical training, or swinging knives, basic knife skills and other training, he has completed it seriously, and even practiced for himself, every once in a while he challenges Gu Yina, but no matter how he trains, even if he has been able to defeat the other people in the hall, including those adults, he still can't beat Gu Yina, and he has lost 2000 times in a row!

On this moonlit night, he asked Gu Yina out again, and this time he brought two real knives.

"Guina, this is the last time I challenge you! If I lose, kill me, and I'll defeat you with the determination to die! ”

"Okay, Zoro, don't blame me for dying!" Guina smiled. He raised the long knife in his hand

The two small figures shouted, brandished the long knife in their hands, the long knives collided together, making a dangdangdang sound, sparks splashed, and the murderous aura was filled under the moonlit night. Gu Yina stabbed straight down, and Zoro closed his eyes!

"Boom!" The knife stuck in the grass next to Sauron's head, and Sauron opened his eyes. Gu Yina smiled and said, "2001st victory!" ”

"Why? Why didn't you kill me? ”

Guina sat down, tears streaming down her eyes, silent.

"Why, why cry, I'm the one who lost! I'm the one who should be crying! Sauron roared.

"That's good, Zoro," Guina whispered.

"What... What the? ”

"It's good that you're a boy, Zoro, my dream is to become the world's number one swordsman! However, just because I'm a girl, it's impossible!! ”

"What are you talking about, Gouina! Didn't you beat me? Many people in the gym are not your opponents..."Zoro looked at Gu Yina in confusion, and Gu Yina cried.

"What's the use of that, we will all grow up, Sauron, you are a boy, your physical fitness will get better and better, and we girls will only become more and more weak, you see that my chest has risen slightly, and it will get bigger and bigger in the future, and it will become my burden! This is the reason why there are so few female swordsmen! I... I will never be able to become a great swordsman, let alone the world's number one swordsman! Do you understand? ”

"What are you talking about, girls and boys! As long as you work hard, you can achieve your dreams! You're the one who defeated me! I don't allow you to give up on yourself like that! Sauron roared!

"But... I..."

"Fu, Gu Yina, let's make an agreement, let's work together to become the world's number one swordsman! No one is allowed to give up until then! ”

"Hmmm! It's agreed! "On a moonlit night, two fingers pulled together.

The next day, Zoro trained even more frantically, in order to fulfill the agreement with Guina, in order to defeat Guina. However, his companion Saka has the bad news of Guina!

"Guina, she... She's dead! ”

"Bell!" The power-building prop in your hand fell to the ground! Zoro lost his sparkle in his eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes.

In the gym, the funeral of Gu Yina had just been held, and Zoro knelt in front of the hall owner, Koshiro.

"Please give me Gu Yina's sword, please, I have agreed with Gu Yina to become the world's number one swordsman together! Even if she is gone, I hope to work together with her sword, I will become the world's number one swordsman, and I will make my name resound in heaven! ”
