Ian and Zoro, although they had always believed that Guina would be able to wake up, what they did not expect was that they would wait so long.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another six years have passed, and in these six years, Guina is still unconscious.

In addition to not being able to wake up, there is nothing unusual about her body, she has been growing, and now she is lying on the ground, she has become a slim girl, because almost all of the dojo are men, there is a lot of inconvenience in taking care of Gu Yina, so Master Koshiro specially invited an aunt in the village to take care of her, feeding her and grooming her every day.

Ian and Zoro will find time to talk to Guina every day, especially Zoro, constantly mentioning how much stronger he has become every day, wanting to stimulate Guina to wake up, however, I don't know why, maybe this stimulation is not strong enough, although Guina will move every time she hears this kind of topic, but she has never really woken up.

Sauron's daily exercise became more and more desperate, and he seemed to want to use this way to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

He even asked for the Wadoichi script from Master Koshiro and began his three-sword flow path, thinking that since Guina was no longer able to exercise, it was up to him to become stronger with her.

What about Ian?

Ian was sitting in the dojo at this time, sitting face to face with Master Koshiro.

In the past six years, Ian has gradually grown up, and long-term exercise has given him a strong and upright figure, and now he is 18 years old, 182 cm tall, with long black hair, tied into a ponytail at the back of his head, with a gentle complexion, and a smile often appears at the corner of his mouth, just like Master Koshiro.

Over the years, the person who has had the deepest influence on Ian is naturally this Koshiro, who is also a master and a father, so it's not surprising that he is like him.

It's just that Koshiro now has a lot of gray hair on his forehead, and although he has always been gentle as water, Gu Yina's situation still makes him secretly a little more anxious.

The old teacup, filled with freshly brewed hot water, and the tea leaves stretched out one by one at the right temperature, forming a beautiful green, Guina couldn't wake up, and drinking tea with her master at noon every day became one of Ian's must-do things.

Picking up the teacup and gently blowing the foam, Ian took a sip of tea, put the cup down, and said to Koshiro, "Master, I want to go to sea!" ”

Koshiro was not surprised by Ian's words, and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you said the same thing two years ago. ”

Indeed, in fact, if you want to say anxious, Ian is no worse than Zoro, even two years ago, Ian already wanted to leave the sea to find a cure for Guina, but that time, Koshiro stopped him, a boy who had just turned 16 years old, went to sea alone, Koshiro definitely didn't worry about him.

And now, two years later, Ian has brought up the old matter again, this time he has made a decision, even if Koshiro is against it, he can't care so much.

However, the strange thing is that Koshiro didn't object after hearing this, but just sighed and said, "Ian, you know what? I've always regarded you as my real child, and the reason why I didn't want Guina to inherit the dojo was not only because she was a girl, but also because I actually wanted you to inherit the dojo. ”

Ian didn't speak, just looked at Koshiro quietly.

"It's just that over the years, I have also seen clearly, your heart is not in Frost Moon Village!" Koshiro continued: "A boy is a boy, even if he is here, but his heart yearns for the outside world. ”

"I'm sorry, Master!" Ian bowed his head and apologized.

"No need to say I'm sorry!" Koshiro smiled: "I know very well that in such an era, there is no force that can stop a man from going to sea, so you can go if you want, you have your own path to follow." ”

"Hmm!" Ian nodded.

"Has the time been decided?" Koshiro asked.

"It's tomorrow!" Ian Road.

"In such a hurry?" Koshiro was a little surprised.

"The sooner the better!" Ian also smiled and said, "Guina has slept for so long, he must be in a hurry." ”

Ian made up his mind to go to sea as soon as possible, firstly to find a cure for Guina, and secondly, he also wanted to try it out to see if he could find a Devil Fruit for Guina.

In the case of being unconscious, Guina naturally can't exercise, with her strong personality, if she really wakes up and sees that she has opened up a gap with Zoro, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it anyway, right? Ian, who is an older brother, naturally has to think about his sister, and the Devil Fruit is undoubtedly the best shortcut to become stronger, but I don't know if Gu Yina can accept it.

In fact, during these six years, Ian also tried to contact Evakov again, but strangely, Evakov couldn't get in touch.

Thinking of what Evakov said last time, about his time in the kingdom of Kamabaka, Ian suddenly recalled that on this timeline, Evakov seemed to have been arrested by the navy! and was imprisoned in the Advance City Submarine Prison on "trumped-up" charges...... Totally impossible to count on.

As for Ian's desire to find the Devil Fruit for Guina, Koshiro knew about it, and Ian mentioned it in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention to it, in his opinion, the Devil Fruit or something, it's all evil! The only thing a swordsman can really rely on is his own sword.

However, this was Ian's kindness, and Koshiro would not object, but asked, "What about the ship?" What about the ship? ”

"I found Uncle Hull in the village! Bringing his old fishing boat! Ian smiled and said, "Uncle Hull is a good man, he didn't ask me for money, and gave me a chart to go to a nearby town." ”

"The situation at sea is unpredictable, you should be careful when you are alone!" Koshiro admonished.

For this, Ian is not too worried, he is now a child who grew up by the sea, so the water is good, even if he encounters wind and waves at sea, he has the ability to protect himself.

"Since you've decided, go ahead!" Koshiro said: "Go alone, I won't send you!" ”

If you don't send yourself, you are afraid of the sadness of parting, Ian naturally understands this, and she doesn't say anything, just bent down and knelt on the ground, kowtow to Koshiro gently, and got up and walked out of the dojo.

The next day, the seaside of Frost Moon Village.

Master Koshiro didn't come, but there were still a lot of people to see him off, except for Sauron, all the other junior disciples in the dojo also came.

These bear children, who were snotty back then, have gradually grown up, their image has improved a lot, and they look much more pleasing to the eye.

"Senior Brother Ian, you have to remember to come back and see us!"

"Senior Brother Ian, we will miss you!"

The little junior disciples gathered around Ian, shouting and shouting, but this did not change, and the youngest junior brother was even about to cry.

Although Ian usually has a dark belly, he often plays pranks on Zoro, such as fooling him, fooling him, fooling him or something, but he is very good to these little juniors, Guina can't wake up, so he takes over the responsibility of Guina to care for the little juniors, so now that Ian is going to sea, the little juniors are naturally reluctant to him.

Ian patted them on the shoulder comfortingly, and sighed a little in his heart, if there is no system, with his qualifications, it is estimated that he is similar to these little juniors now, looking at them is like seeing himself before the age of 10.

Sensing a gaze, Ian turned his head and found Zoro standing with his arms crossed.

Zoro was almost 9 years old when he first came to the dojo, and Guina duel for a year, earning a record of 2001 defeats and 0 wins, and now another six years have passed, he is also 16 years old, and now he has the prototype of Suoda in later generations, a green algae head is still so conspicuous, this guy's hair is long and he shaved it with a knife, so it is messy like a dog gnawing, he changed out of the dojo's uniform, put on a short-sleeved T-shirt, a waist around his waist, and three long swords, the only thing that is okay is, At this time, he hadn't worn earrings yet, probably because he was worried that Master Koshiro would scold him.

Seeing Ian looking over, the guy snorted, turned his head away, and ignored Ian.

"You're a fart!" Ian couldn't help but laugh and said, "If I don't take you there, I won't take you there!" ”

Zoro this guy, when he knew that Ian was going to sea, he yelled to go with Ian, but Master Koshiro didn't allow it, just like when Ian was not allowed to go to sea in advance, Master Koshiro was also worried that Sauron was too young, and Ian naturally obeyed Shoshiro's words, so he refused Sauron's request to travel together.

For this reason, Zoro had been angry all night long.

Walking up to him, Ian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to sea first to find a cure for Guina, and if I haven't come back in two years, then you can go to sea by yourself!" ”

"Long-winded! I know it without you saying it! Zoro still turned his head away from Ian, but said, "It's you, if Guina wakes up during this time, don't blame me for speaking ill of you!" ”

"Hah! Say what you want! Ian winked at him, "Don't forget, I'm Guina's brother, and you're her opponent, who do you think she'll believe?" ”

After speaking, Ian pressed the bear-eared hat that was about to be blown up by the wind with one hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm leaving!" ”

"Wait!" Zoro's voice stopped him, then he reached out and handed over a long knife with a white scabbard, twisted his head, and said, "This is a text of harmony, why don't you take it with you!" ”

It's a great thing to say, but in fact, you're also worried about yourself? Otherwise, how could you think of bringing yourself a good knife?

Ian smiled, but didn't take it, and said, "No need, this knife is not suitable for me, you should keep it, and when Guina wakes up, you will return it to her!" ”

Walking to the shore, Ian untied the cable, threw it into the boat, and then pushed the small fishing boat, ran two steps, propelled the boat into the sea, and then jumped up.

"Goodbye, I'm leaving!" Ian waved to the crowd on the shore.

In the reluctant farewell of everyone, they picked up the oars, rowed the boat, and gradually moved away......
