One Piece: Beginning as the Monkey King

At the dock, after a grand banquet, Bardock and his friends returned to the White Dragon Horse.

With the help of Merry, the supplies were ready. Mansherry cured Kaya. Merry didn't intend to charge her, but Bardock paid in full. They were not short of money.

On the shore, everyone watched the White Dragon Horse go away and put down their waving arms. Usopp and Kaya are of the same age, and he successfully became friends with Kaya with his talent for storytelling.

Merry didn't object to this. He thought Miss Kaya needed friends. Although Usopp liked to brag, he was a good person.

"Usopp, I heard that you wanted to get on Mr. Bardock's ship, but they didn't agree?" Merry joked.

"Nonsense, I just want to be the captain and go out to sea by myself!" Usopp said stubbornly.

Usopp did want to board Bardock's ship before, and wanted to see his father earlier, but Bardock refused very clearly. Usopp is too young at the moment, and ordinary people's bodies are not suitable for long-term life at sea. He needs more time to grow up now. I don't know if Usopp has that kind of self-discipline.

Kaya held a list of books in her hand, which was a list of learning for doctors from entry to burial, given by Mansherry.

After years of suffering from illness, Kaya has now been cured, but she has already dreamed of becoming a doctor. Mansherry was very happy to have another companion to cure diseases and save lives, and wrote a detailed list of books for Kaya to study first.

"Let's go back! Merry, please help me collect the books here. Usopp, tell me the story of you and the giant warriors." Kaya squinted her eyes and looked at Usopp with a smile.

Usopp immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course, speaking of that day, ..."

On the White Dragon Horse, Bardock looked at the West Rob Village getting farther and farther away, and thought of Kuro.

Kro is still hiding in which corner now. If he can't meet him, Kaya may still lose her parents, or even lose her life in advance.

Kro and the Dragon Pirates are both tails that have not been cleaned up. I hope they will run into the net next.

There is no time on the sea, and time passes quickly. On this day, the White Dragon Horse arrived at a new island. The village on the island is well-known. It is Zoro's hometown, Shimotsuki Village.

The history of Shimotsuki Village is not long, only about 40 or 50 years, but the strength of this village is also ranked among the surrounding islands.

It was Shimotsuki Kozaburo who led a group of samurai to leave Wano Country decades ago to eliminate bandits and teach swordsmanship. Because he fell in love with a girl, he decided to settle here, and Shimotsuki Village came from this.

The one who now guards Shimotsuki Village is Shimotsuki Kosaburo's son, Shimotsuki Koshiro, a thin-looking, bespectacled, but powerful swordsman.

Koshiro has been troubled recently, and this trouble comes from her daughter, Kuina.

Kuina has an unparalleled talent for swordsmanship, and can easily learn his swordsmanship, and can defeat adults at a young age. Unfortunately, she is a girl, and female swordsmen will never become the world's number one due to physical limitations.

It can be seen from the recent battle between her disciple Zoro and Kuina that it is becoming increasingly difficult for her to win.

Kuina is two years older than Zoro and started learning swordsmanship earlier, but now their gap is rapidly narrowing. If nothing unexpected happens, Zoro will have his first victory in one or two years.

Because of this, Kuina has been in a very low mood recently, often distracted and dazed, which makes Koshiro feel very uncomfortable.

"Huh? A strong man is coming!"

When the White Dragon Horse approached Shimotsuki Village, Koshiro immediately sensed the powerful aura.

It was Koshiro's job to protect the village from pirate attacks. Sometimes, he had to go to nearby islands to help deal with pirates.

Koshiro was very fast and arrived at the port before the White Dragon Horse docked.

"No pirate flag."

Koshiro was relieved half of his heart, but he couldn't let go of the other half no matter what. The aura on the ship was too strong. It shouldn't be a person who appeared in the East China Sea.

When Koshiro found the White Dragon Horse, Bardock and his friends also found Koshiro. Bardock's fingers on the handle of the knife gradually increased. He wanted to learn swordsmanship from Koshiro.

But the place and time were not right at the moment. Everything would be discussed after landing.
