One Piece I want to go home

Chapter 79 - The Truth About Death
On a full moon night, people are quiet and the wind is bleak.

Shimotsuki Koshiro drank to Yue alone, but he drank cup after cup, pouring himself into a daze.

In the past two years, during the day, he was a kind and strict master, but at night, he became a sinner who had to drink to sleep.

That's right, it's been two years, but the scene at that time is still vivid in my memory.
-
two years ago.

That evening, he was packing up training equipment in the attic, and he also took out a few whetstones that had been dusty for a long time from the warehouse.

Kuina didn't know when she touched it and said to herself.

"Father, I plan to go to the competition."

She did not know where she learned about a large-scale competition held on a certain island in the East China Sea, and the winner of the competition would be directly admitted to a high position in the navy.

"No, even if you go, there won't be any big results." He said.

Koshiro felt that if Kuina really went, it would be difficult to come back here.

He didn't want his only daughter to leave.

"What do you mean?" Kuina was dissatisfied, "Is it because I am a girl?"

"What nonsense!"

"I heard it. Your conversation that day."

[The female swordsman will never be number one in the world due to physical limitations. 】

"But... I will definitely prove it to you! And participating in the competition is the first step for me to become number one in the world!" Guina's eyes were firm.

"Stop messing around! You should be aware of your own body! If you continue like this, you're just forcing yourself to do things you can't do!"

"I can do it! I can definitely do it!" Kuina shouted, "Besides, this is my own body, no matter what I do, it is my own business! You don't need to worry about it!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left angrily.

Koshiro grabbed her by the shoulder, "Guina! Calm down! I'm just starting from theory. Even if there are female swordsmen, they are very rare. And historically, the strongest swordsman has never had a woman! "

"So? You're still saying I'm impossible! Since I can't become the strongest, why did you teach me swordsmanship in the first place!"

"You child, why are you so stubborn! There is no need to become the strongest to learn something! I just want to teach you the art of self-defense!"

"But that has become my dream! No matter how you stop it, it's impossible! I will definitely prove you wrong! Before I become number one in the world, I will never step into this family again!"

"Guina, calm down!"

"Let go! You let go!"

Kuina didn't know where the recklessness came from, and she broke free from his hand.

But he tripped over the whetstone behind him and fell down the stairs in the attic.

Koshiro just watched, the bright red blood soaked the floor.

I don't know how long it took, but Koshiro's most proud apprentice was the first to discover the situation.

After quickly understanding the matter, he said something and handed it over to him.

And the so-called processing...

It is to turn the whole thing into an accidental mistake.

Koshiro spent several days in a daze, and when he realized it, he scolded the other party angrily.

He is ready to surrender, even pay with his own life.

Just then, Sauron appeared.

He thought he had asked for Guina's saber, and wept bitterly.

"...I will become stronger with her share, I will become stronger enough to make my name resound in heaven!"

Koshiro just gave up the idea of ​​ending everything. He decided to raise this child well, see this child, and realize Kuina's dream.

only……

The nightmare of that day still lingers.

"Guina..."

Koshiro, who smelled of alcohol, murmured her name.

His wife passed away due to dystocia, and even his daughter died because of his own failure. He really didn't know how long he could hold on.

"Father."

A dreamlike voice, accompanied by the night wind, blew into his ears.

Koshiro opened his eyes wide, but his vision was still blurred, he only saw a double image in front of him.

Someone turned his back to the bright moonlight and looked at himself.

The figure of the other party is very similar to that of Kuina two years ago.

"Daughter... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

He suddenly lost control of his emotions, and one after another, he kowtowed heavily with bang bang.

"Are you asking me to forgive you?" Kuina said coldly.

"I... I don't ask you to forgive me. I don't even have the courage to go there to accompany you." Koshiro burst into tears, "But I will train Zoro well until the day he becomes a great swordsman... At that time, I will go with you."

"If you mean the accidental death, I never blamed you. It was just an accident and no one knew what would happen." Guina said, "What I can't forgive is that you didn't support me in my dream thing."

"dream?"

"Become the number one swordsman in the world." Kuina said.

"If you can be resurrected... I won't stop you anymore. No matter what you do, I will support you!"

Kuina chuckled, "Then it's an agreement. I will only come back after I become a great swordsman. At that time, please apologize to me."

"Guina?"

"Oh, by the way, tell that kid by the way. This time, I am the same age as him. This time we are on the same level. I will definitely become the world's number one swordsman earlier than him!"

Her figure, accompanied by a slight laugh, walked further and further away.

When he woke up the next day, Koshiro thought it was just a dream.

However, he trained Sauron more attentively.
-
Snail houseboat.

"Hey, Murphy, where's her?" Luo asked.

"He has a name, Kuina... how nice it sounds." Murphy said, "She said she was going to say goodbye to her relatives, after all, she was leaving with us. I deliberately took a long time, maybe it will take tomorrow morning , to pick her up."

Mo Fei shook the cowhide account in his hand, "This..."

Luo suddenly had a bad thought, turned around and ran away.

"I remembered, there are still some things I need to prepare for dinner today..."

"I'm ready. Any fish is fine." Murphy said with a smile, and handed the account in front of him.

"A week's worth of clothes and sweeping."

"If you don't mind, underwear is also fine." Murphy smiled brightly.

"I don't need this one!" Luo snatched the account.

"Then I'll leave it to you to decipher the content inside! Thank you very much!"

Luo only felt that his head was a mess.
-
After leaving, Kuina sighed.

She was originally full of anger and was about to quarrel with her father.

But when she saw him kowtow to admit his mistake with snot and tears, her anger disappeared in an instant.

Although it was not the negotiation that Kuina imagined, she finally expressed her intentions.

It also achieved its purpose, right?

she thinks.

Father should know that he was reborn...

Guina thinks so.

As everyone knows, when Koshiro Shimotsuki saw Kuina's arrest warrant a few years later, it was like seeing a ghost.
