"Captain, shall we go directly to your brother's place next?"

Ryan pointed to a place on the map and replied, "Go here!"

The place he pointed to was Shimotsuki Village, not far from Windmill Village.

"Ryan, is there something special here?" Bailey asked curiously. Past experience tells everyone that Ryan must have his purpose and reason for going to a place.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, Ryan smiled and said, "Because there is a powerful swordsman and an interesting guy there!"

Everyone became interested when Ryan said this, even Fujitora was the same. With Ryan's current strength, he called the other party a powerful swordsman, which means that the other party is really strong.

In this way, everyone took the Wanli Longteng to Shimotsuki Village.

Two hours later...

After docking the boat on the shore, everyone set foot on Shimotsuki Village. Isshin Dojo is still very famous in Shimotsuki Village. Just ask someone and you will know where it is.

Before entering Isshin Dojo, Ryan heard the sound of wooden swords hitting and the low shouts of children coming from inside.

At this time, Koshiro, who was sitting cross-legged in the hall and drinking tea, seemed to have noticed something. He looked at the door of the dojo and frowned slightly.

"Bang!"

Kid violently kicked the door of the dojo open with his foot. Kid understood that Ryan's words just now meant that we were going to challenge the dojo.

Ryan was a little speechless about this naughty child, but he still walked in.

In the dojo, except for a child with green algae hair and a wooden sword in his mouth, dozens of other children stopped their actions and looked at Ryan and his group who came in. The leader was a girl with short blue hair.

Obviously, the sound of Kid's violent kicking just now attracted all their attention.

Ryan looked at the one biting the wooden sword, and the heavy object hanging under the wooden sword made him sweat profusely.

"Zoro!"

Then Ryan turned his gaze to the girl with a firm look in her eyes, Kuina, a woman who was determined to become the world's number one swordsman as a daughter.

Unfortunately, she died young because of falling from the attic, which made Zoro more determined to become the world's number one swordsman. This woman influenced Zoro's life.

As a result, when Zoro saw Dashigi, who looked exactly like Kuina, he was confused and his sword-drawing speed was slow.

"I didn't expect that the famous bloody swordsman-Ryan would come to my small gym!"

A man wearing glasses and squinting his eyes came out, and his smiling look made Ryan alert.

You know, in the setting of Japanese comics, squinting eyes are monsters!

Ryan's eyes narrowed and smiled, "This is not a small gym, am I right, Mr. Shimotsuki Koshiro!"

"You!" If someone else said this name, he might not care, but the man in front of him obviously knew something and found this place.

There are many people in One Piece who are not famous but very powerful. Shimotsuki Koshiro is one of them.

"The great hide in the city, the small hide in the wild, it's a pity for a man like you, Shimotsuki Koshiro, to stay in this small Isshin Dojo."

"Look at you, what do you know!" This time Koshiro was completely sure that Ryan must know something and came here to find him.

Ryan smiled but said nothing.

"Come in and have a cup of tea!" Koshiro pushed his glasses and smiled, the lenses flashing in the sunlight, making it difficult to see his eyes.

Shimotsuki Koshiro's smile gives people a gentle and warm feeling.

But it may be a psychological effect. When Ryan was stared at by Shimotsuki Koshiro with a smile, Ryan felt not gentleness and warmth but danger and murderous intent.

"Damn squinty eyes." Ryan cursed secretly and stepped into the hall, followed by Fujitora and others.

As soon as Ryan and his friends entered, the children in the dojo began to chatter and discuss, and even Zoro, who had just been practicing his bite force, came in.

"Who are they?"

"They don't look very old, and they seem to know Master Koshiro."

"They look like they are here to challenge us."

"Kuina, do you know who they are?" Zoro patted Kuina and asked.

"The bloody swordsman - Ryan, a world-famous pirate, and one of the few great swordsmen in the world!" Kuina's eyes were faintly shining as she watched Ryan walk in.

Because he often helped his father buy newspapers, Kuina was not like other children who knew nothing about the outside world. He had seen news about Ryan.

Kuina had been following Ryan's news since the South China Sea, because as far as he knew, Ryan was not much older than him, but his strength was alreadyAmong all the swordsmen in the world, he can be regarded as one of the best.

So Kuina has always regarded Ryan as her goal. In her opinion, Ryan is her biggest enemy on the road to becoming the world's number one swordsman. The more her father said that girls could not become the world's number one, the more she wanted to try and prove to Koshiro that she could!

As she learned more and more about Ryan's deeds, Kuina became more determined in her thoughts. Perhaps others saw Ryan's audacity and killing people.

In her opinion, Ryan not only did not kill a civilian, but also rescued the slaves of Mary Joa regardless of his own safety. Such people are the target he wants to catch up with.

"What!" The children were stunned.

For these children who have just started to learn swordsmanship, swordsman is a legendary word, not to mention the great swordsman who is more powerful than the swordsman.

The children at the scene felt a sense of frustration. Ryan, who looked only a few years older than them, was already a great swordsman, and they were still practicing basic swordsmanship here.

The gap in talent made them hesitate.

Only two people didn't, one was Kuina who had already known about it, and the other was Zoro. At this time, Zoro's eyes were blazing, and in addition to Kuina, he had another goal to surpass.

As for the gap, Zoro, who was carefree, didn't care at all.
