From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 145: One Year Later, Sauron Has a Hard Life

A year has passed since the outbreak of Ferevansper's lead disease. During this year, Trafalgar Law, the revolutionary army's stronghold in the North Sea, has been drained and then drained again every day.

However, thanks to the high-intensity use of the fruit's ability, the development of its abilities has also made some progress, but the blue is not enough.

Kevin basically stayed in the G5 branch except for a week's trip between Greenbit in Dressrosa and the North Sea. He might go to Shimotsuki Village in the East China Sea to learn basic swordsmanship.

The communication with Ryujin Jakka was not going smoothly. The basic physical quality was comprehensively strengthened after obtaining the gift of steel bones. For now, the Shikai state can be maintained.

It's Bankai...still no response from Ryujin Jakka.

……

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

When the Zanpakutō was swung in the shallow strike state, the heat from the body's constitution flowed autonomously, causing a slash across the sea surface, creating a huge wave as if cutting the sea.

The sea water fell and hit the sea surface, surging and then returning to calm.

"With sir's strength, just ordinary slashing has already reached this level. The practice of swordsmanship is just the icing on the cake."

Shimotsuki Koshiro came over and started talking to Kevin when he saw that Kevin had finished the first half of the day's training.

Kevin sheathed his Zanpakutō: "This power is not enough. After all, you should know what enemies the Revolutionary Army will face."

Koshiro was silent for a while, then walked over to Kevin and sat down, facing the sea and looking in the direction of the Grand Line.

"Lord Dorag came here more than half a year ago. You were not there in the afternoon, and I talked to him for a long time."

At this point, Koshiro exhaled: "I heard that a few years ago, the Revolutionary Army helped Wano Country and forced Kaido, who was trying to turn Wano Country into a weapons processing factory, to withdraw from Wano Country, and the Kozuki clan became the general again."

Kevin nodded casually.

Not many people know about the affairs of Wano Country at present. The instructor and the armed forces of the Second Division of the New World Revolutionary Army are basically focusing on stabilizing the internal environment of Wano Country, and will not come out until the country is founded.

Transactions with the World Government are also continuing, but because it is impossible to perform a show every month, due to xenophobia and isolation, the transaction location is limited to Qiangang.

In the past year, the Revolutionary Army has not caused any trouble except for the incident with Freifans, and its basic policy remains to develop in a hidden manner.

In this situation, the Great Pirate Era kept the Navy and CP agents very busy, and the attention was somewhat diverted from the Revolutionary Army.

Although Mary Joa would take it more seriously after that phone call, the people under her had too many things to do.

"Father still misses his hometown, so I will help ask when I have the chance."

Koshiro said as he stood up and looked at the shallow strike in Kevin's hand: "Sir, your basic strength is too great."

Kevin became interested after hearing this, and then asked, "What do you mean?"

Koshiro sighed: "The practice of swordsmanship, from the very beginning of chopping to being able to hear the breathing of all things, nothing can be cut, nothing can be severed."

"Sir, your strength has grown too fast. Now that you are standing in front of me, even if you haven't drawn your sword or used your domineering aura, you are still as terrifying as a giant beast."

"If one is already a great swordsman and has enough space to understand and comprehend the sword, then this kind of power will be even more powerful. But sir, you have only practiced swordsmanship for more than two years, and..."

After a pause, Koshiro hesitated and said, "And when you fight with a knife, you should basically use force to overpower the enemy, right?"

To suppress others by force?

Kevin thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Not long after obtaining this sword, he learned the release words of Ryujin Jakka in the Sabaody Archipelago, and then he killed Chameleon with his initial release, and his soul was reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation. Currently, he follows Ginny and is in charge of the Eastern Army and the special passage.

Later, when he was trying to snatch Tenshokin and fighting against the immature version of Kaido, he basically relied on the high temperature of 6,000 degrees in his core to overwhelm his opponent.

But if I only rely on swordsmanship, I can only protect myself with Flying Thunder God in any of these three times. How can I win?
"What should we do?"

After thinking about it, Kevin felt that he should listen to the advice. After all, he still had no idea about Ryujin Jakka's Bankai. At least when it came to swords, Koshiro was much stronger than him.

Koshiro stood up, dusted himself off and said, "It's very difficult. For sword training like Shemingzhi's, one has to chop with all his strength, but for a force like yours, the power displayed by using all his strength can only be used to overwhelm others once again."

"To some extent, swordsmanship is similar to domineering. Domineering awakens from one's spiritual will, but it requires constant fighting to improve. Sir, you are now fighting against someone at the same level of swordsmanship. It's too overwhelming."

"But maybe there is a way to make you realize something."

With that, Koshiro turned around and led the way, motioning Kevin to follow.

The two of them walked all the way back to the dojo from the coast. At that moment, a group of little kids were making strange noises and waving bamboo swords in their hands.

The leader Kevin knows Koshiro's daughter Kuina, a genius girl who died after falling down the stairs in his memory.

Kevin felt this was outrageous.

However...the gap between people in this world is indeed huge.

With a physique like BiGMOM's, if he fell down the stairs when he was a child, even if he landed headfirst from the roof, he would probably not be in any danger but would have made a big hole in the ground.

Kevin has been a frequent visitor to Shimotsuki Village in recent years. After all, he can no longer take the swordsmanship class in the headquarters youth training camp because he has been transferred to the post of base chief of the G5 branch.

"Kuina."

Koshiro waved his hand, and Kuina, who was training the kids, came over. She bowed slightly and asked, "Father, is there anything I can do for you?"

Koshiro hid his hands in his sleeves and gave way to Kevin next to him: "From today on, I will have a duel with this... gentleman every morning."

Kevin was not wearing a mask at this moment, but he used the transformation technique to form the appearance of an ordinary person. The template was an ordinary pirate in the New World. At this moment, his soul had been drained of sin value and disappeared.

And this face is also the face used in the East China Sea for more than a year.

After all, if you wear a mask in the East China Sea and are seen by ordinary people, there is a chance that your whereabouts will be revealed.

Shimotsuki Village has been helping the Revolutionary Army for a long time, and reducing the risk of their exposure is our most basic responsibility.

"gentlemen."

Kuina didn't know Kevin's name, she only knew that her father asked her to call him "Sir".

Although mysterious, she also knew how powerful the gentleman in front of her was and could easily cut through the waves.

She knew she couldn't win against such power, but since her father had said so, she had to try no matter how impossible it was.

Kevin looked at Koshiro and said, "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to stop myself and beat your precious daughter to death? Are you kidding me?"

Koshiro still had a smiling expression on his face: "Sir, if you can't control your own strength, then there is no point in talking about the so-called swordsmanship. Perhaps... you can start with dodging."

Koshiro adjusted his glasses and said, "I remember one of Sensei's abilities is to be able to place coordinates on a person, so Kuina won't be in danger, and I can also let her see the real gap."

"Ah."

Kevin laughed out loud: "You really have it all figured out. But at this age, seeing such a big gap is not a good thing."

At this moment, a childish and arrogant voice was heard at the door of the dojo.

"Is anyone there? I'm here to challenge you!"

This voice made Kevin look over with a smile. It turned out to be a green-haired guy, and he was about the same age.

Koshiro was not angry when someone challenged him, but directly arranged for Kuina to take the field, allowing Kevin to see Kuina's current level.

Zoro, who was only five years old, selected more than a dozen bamboo swords, held five in his left and right hands, opened his bloody mouth to take a few, and then dropped them when he bowed.

This scene made Kevin burst out laughing. It was really funny when combined with the green algae head in his memory.

"Asshole! What are you laughing at!"

Little Zoro glared at Kevin because this bastard was the only one laughing the loudest while everyone else was holding back.

But as he spoke, two more bamboo swords fell from his mouth.

Kevin suppressed his laughter and waved his hands casually: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue. But how are you going to swing so many bamboo swords? This is not a competition of quantity. The more you can get, the more you will win."

Zoro glared at Kevin and pointed the five bamboo swords in his hand at Kevin: "After I defeat this woman, it will be your turn next!"

Uh... why is he targeting me?
Kevin thought for a moment and said to Kuina, "Girl, beat him up! The harder you beat him, the bigger the reward!"

Kuina sighed helplessly, while Koshiro narrowed his eyes and asked the two to stand and bow.

next moment……

"Snapped!"

Zoro, who was holding more than ten bamboo swords, had no time to react and was hit directly on the forehead by Kuina's bamboo sword.

"you lose."

For a moment, Zoro stared with disbelief. Seeing the two slightly older and interesting kids, Kevin also had some evil fun.

Soon, because he promised Koshiro that he would join if he lost, little Zoro joined the dojo without any money.

Then, Koshiro asked Kevin to fight Kuina, but Kevin waved his hand and said, "I can't fight."

"Even if she doesn't use her observation Haki, she can't touch me with her reaction speed that has become a habit. And the difference in basic strength is too big. It's so big that she doesn't even need to use any strength..."

Before he finished speaking, Kuina, who had been respectful all along, had a complicated expression on her face. She bowed directly to Kevin and looked dissatisfied: "Sir, I want to challenge you!"

Koshiro on the side came closer and whispered, "Sir, your swordsmanship is actually not much different from Kuina's. You have already formed a habit of the power system, so maybe you can observe Kuina's progress and find your own way in swordsmanship."

Soon, the competition between adults bullying children began.

However, as Kevin said, every time he wanted to move, he was afraid of slapping Kuina away.

In addition to the situation of falling to death while climbing the stairs, he avoided all the attacks effortlessly and even had time to ruffle Kuina's hair.

but……

It's just pure swordsmanship, and I've only been practicing it for two or three years, so there are indeed some subtle things in it.

Because apart from basic strength, Kevin's current knife skills are not much different from Kuina's.

An hour later, Kuina, who was already exhausted and out of breath, still hadn't touched the corner of Kevin's clothes.

Kevin, on the contrary, became more excited, because it was just a game of teasing children that required him to dodge the whole time, but he could feel that he seemed to have discovered something.

After thinking about it, Kevin took out a healing dandelion and pressed it on Kuina's forehead.

I had just gone to Beihai to deliver some goods early in the morning and left two with me. They came in handy now.

Healing dandelions cannot be preserved forever, but it is just right to draw two extra each time just in case.

The golden ball of light stunned the little kids in the dojo, and Kuina, who was exhausted and gasping for breath just now, was resurrected in full condition.

Kevin looked at her and smiled, "From today on, if you beat up that brat every day and play a duel game with me, I'll give you the light ball I just saw. How about that?"

At this moment, Kuina was also shocked by the feeling just now. The golden ball of light entered her forehead and her whole body returned to normal.

Subconsciously, Kuina looked at her father.

Koshiro narrowed his eyes and remained silent, just nodded imperceptibly.

"So... continue?"

Kevin waved his hand and threw a real knife to Kuina.

With her long sword unsheathed, Kuina, who was already over seven years old, began to attack fiercely.

……

Another hour later, today's game ended.

Kevin pointed at Zoro who was watching the fun with a dogtail grass in his mouth and said, "Today's reward has been paid. You have to beat that kid up."

Kuina felt her body was drained of energy again, but she still stood up, changed her bamboo sword, and said to Zoro: "Want to compete?"

Zoro shook his head: "I won't take advantage of someone's misfortune. It would be meaningless even if I beat you now."

However, after taking a look at Kevin, Kuina walked towards Zoro with a bamboo sword in hand.

There was no bowing or other steps, the fight just started straight away.

Koshiro on the side didn't stop it at all, but watched it all with a smile.

People are selfish. Compared to the upper limits that his daughter can achieve in the future, Koshiro doesn't think it's a big deal if she occasionally breaks the rules of the dojo.

"If you want to strengthen your physique, in addition to this double consumption, you also need the meat of this sea for digestion."

Kevin glanced at Koshiro and said, "After a long period of consumption and energy supplementation, if your mental willpower is strong enough, you will be able to sense every tiny part of your body. Once you master this, it won't be strange to grow teeth by drinking milk."

"Among the CP agents of the World Government, this ability to control oneself to the extreme is called Life Return."

Koshiro bowed slightly: "Sir, you can see it."

Kevin chuckled: "Anyway, I think there is something wrong with the way you educate your daughter. You stimulate her gender whenever you have the chance. Compared to that green algae-headed girl, I think Kuina is much cuter."

At this time, Zoro, whose face was already bruised and swollen, ran out and rushed towards Kevin with a bamboo sword in hand.

"Yo?"

Kevin leaned sideways and stretched out a foot to hook it, and immediately Zoro, who was rushing forward, fell out again.

He glided five or six meters on the wooden floor and hit his face directly on the door frame.

Unlike Kuina who died after falling down the stairs, Zoro is just too lucky.

In the later stage, Hawkeye, who has six equipments at the maximum level, can continue to attack in Cocoyasi Village with one strike, and can fight even if he is wrapped like a mummy. His seriously injured state accepts all the negative states of Luffy, and he is still standing.

Just two words... tough life.

"asshole!!"

Turning over and getting up, Zoro rushed over again with swollen eyes.

Kevin easily avoided it and hooked his foot again.

After a few times, little Zoro had a bamboo sword in each hand, and the one in his mouth was gone.

Dual sword style?
Fifteen minutes later, Zoro, who had fallen nine times, could no longer get up and fainted.

But Kevin looked at the green-haired guy with some envy. It turned out that his talent in swordsmanship was really poor.

I didn't fight back at all, but this kid was able to unconsciously master the basics of dual-sword style after falling down nine times.

You have to know that this is his first day at Koshiro's place. Before this, the so-called invincibility in the neighboring village was basically just a brave and aggressive person who swung a bamboo sword and chopped around.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought against Kuina, holding a dozen bamboo swords, but was hit on the forehead.

"Koshiro."

"gentlemen."

"Do you think I'm really not suitable for sword training?"

"Indeed, sir."

Kevin glanced at him and said, "Can't you say something nice?"

Koshiro bowed slightly: "Sir, your talent lies in your reaction speed far beyond that of ordinary people and your terrifying strength. With these two points, you are already a genius who can be called a monster."

The reaction speed comes from the Flying Thunder God's equipment, and the strength comes from the innate steel bones.

Come to think of it, the only thing that he has awakened by himself and can prove his talent seems to be the Conqueror's Haki.

As the mentor of the Revolutionary Army whose goal is to overthrow the World Government, the Domineering Haki that awakens under such a will is indeed a talent.

Scratching his head, Kevin waved his hand and said, "I'll go catch a Sea King and give them some supplements."

Without using Flying Thunder God, Kevin walked out of the dojo.

Koshiro held Zoro and found a place for him to sleep. After Kuina arranged the practice for the little kids, she found her father.

The two of them knelt.

"Can strength like that of sir be trained?"

Kuina looked at her father hopefully.

Koshiro shook his head slightly: "That is an innate talent. Although I don't know why it has only been revealed in the last one or two years, but as far as I know, such basic strength is a talent."

Kuina was a little disappointed and murmured in a low voice: "So it would be great if I were a boy, then..."

Koshiro has no comfort, which is inherited from his father Kozaburo's old-fashioned nature.

The idea that girls are inferior to boys and cannot inherit the dojo, besides being stimulating and motivating, may also contain some real ideas.

In fact, this kind of thinking has already shown signs of being overturned in the country of Wano today.
