One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 31 An vs. Zoro

Koushiro's voice echoed in the empty dojo.

"Your Mightiness??"

"Master, did you say something wrong?"

Zoro, who had just started, was very dissatisfied with Koushiro calling An "Your Excellency".

Kuina was also very curious as to why her father called this girl of the same age as your Excellency, but he did not speak blindly like Zoro.

Koushiro narrowed his eyes at An and ignored Zoro's dissatisfaction.

Ever since An came in, Koushiro could sense An's strength through his knowledge and appearance.

Upon hearing Koushiro's inquiry, An put away his lazy posture and sat upright on the futon in the dojo.

He asked Koushiro who was sitting on top with sincere eyes.

"My name is An. I am a traveler. I heard about your reputation and came to visit. I also ask Mr. Koushiro to fight with me."

"Alas! x N"

"I actually want to challenge Master!"

The disciples below made noisy noises.

"Hey! If you want to challenge Master, you have to defeat me first."

Zoro was very dissatisfied with An's behavior and directly interrupted!

"Shut up Zoro!" Kuina scolded Zoro.

"Guina, you..."

Although Zoro was dissatisfied with Kuina's attitude, he didn't speak anymore.

Sensing Sauron's dissatisfaction, An suddenly had the idea of teasing Sauron.

"What do you think, Mr. Koushiro?"

Realizing that An actually wanted to compete with Zoro, Koushiro looked at Kuina thoughtfully, and finally agreed to Zoro's request.

"Koshiro knows that his daughter has always wanted to become the world's greatest swordsman."

"As a powerful swordsman, I know that it is difficult for women to achieve this goal."

But as a father, he couldn't bear to watch his daughter suffer, so he hoped that Guina could find a path that suited her from An.

After hearing that his master allowed him to compete with An, Sauron was eager to try and regain the lost face from An.

"bring it on!"

Zoro, with his hands and mouth full of bamboo swords again, hesitated and spoke.

Outside the court, Kuina looked at Zoro who was just as stupid as before and cursed in her heart that he was such a fool.

An randomly picked up a bamboo sword from the bamboo basket, looked at Sauron who was getting ready, and said: "Although I have never learned swordsmanship, it is more than enough to deal with a rookie like you."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Listening to An's contemptuous tone, Zoro launched an attack on An before Koushiro could say the word."

"Swords and lights intertwined..."

Zoro kept swinging his bamboo sword, but An dodged it one by one.

"What a violent force."

Damn it, Zoro roared and swung his sword faster again.

"Green-haired kid, you can't hit me like this."

"Stop blabbering! You can't hit me either."

Um?

I can't hit you? An asked.

Seeing the unconvinced expression on Zoro's face, An decided to teach him a lesson.

"Since you want to be beaten so much, then I will satisfy you."

An, who understood Koushiro's thoughts, turned to Kuina and reminded: "Keep an eye on Kuina."

An's words continued to come, "Since you are not strong enough, you can try to hone your speed."

"It should be noted that the only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is fast."

As he spoke, the bamboo sword in An's hand suddenly increased the speed of his swing, stabbing towards Sauron like a phantom bamboo sword.

"No!" Sauron, sensing the danger, slashed hard, trying to resist the attack, but the bamboo sword was too fast.

The bamboo sword struck Zoro again and again.

At this time, Zoro was shaking crazily on the spot because of the sting caused by the bamboo sword, as if he had Parkinson's disease.

An did not stop attacking, and kept making sounds, hoping to take this opportunity to let Kuina understand that even women can become strong!

"Kuina, as long as your speed is so fast that others can't catch up with you, you will always be invincible."

"If you can't defeat the enemy with one sword, then use ten swords, a hundred swords, or a thousand swords until you defeat the opponent."

Kuina looked at the bamboo sword that kept hitting Zoro, and the dark clouds in her heart dispersed a little.

She has been taught by her father since she was a child that women cannot become the world's greatest swordsman.

She didn't agree with it at first, but as her body gradually began to grow, she gradually understood the reason.

But the strength An gave her today gave her a glimmer of hope.

"The last sword!"

As the bamboo sword in An's hand accelerated again, the tip of the sword touched Sauron's forehead.

Boom!

Zoro lay on his back on the floor with a look of despair on his face.

Click, click, click, the camera light flashed.

An gave Zoro several close-ups and handed several of them to Kuina.

If Guina disobeys this guy in the future, she will threaten him with photos of him being embarrassed.

"How despicable!"

Zoro quickly got up from the ground and protested.

Kuina ignored Zoro, but took the photo and put it in her arms.

…

After cleaning up Zoro, An turned to look at Koushiro.

Koushiro understood the meaning, and his thin body suddenly released a strong aura.

Narrowing his eyes, Koushiro said, "In a battle at our level, it will be impossible to tell the winner for a while."

"For Kuina's sake, just tell me your purpose!"

Koushiro changed his usual gentleness, and his eyes became sharp.

"He doesn't believe that a foreigner who is not a swordsman only finds him for the purpose of sparring."

"What's more, my status is quite special."

Feeling Koushiro's aura, An also released his own aura, and the two auras collided in the dojo.

"So strong! x N"

Everyone in the dojo felt the oppressive aura of the two men and were secretly shocked.

They didn't expect that two people who looked so ordinary could exude such a powerful aura.

…

The breaths still collide.

Of all the people present, only Zoro and Kuina struggled to hold on with their tenacity.

thump!

In the end, Sauron couldn't hold on and passed out because of his young age.

Seeing his beloved disciple fall to the ground, Koushiro took the lead to put away his breath, still staring at An with his sharp eyes.

Feeling the enveloping oppression disappear, Kuina sat on the ground and gasped.

Sensing Koushiro's unkind gaze, An paused for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Koshiro is unwilling to compete with me, I can only trouble Mr. Koshiro to teach me the "Ryuzakura Haki".

"That's it??" Koushiro was shocked.

"Ah!"

"Otherwise?" An asked directly.

Next the two entered question and answer mode.

Koushiro: "To be able to teach a genius like you, your teacher must also be a famous strong man on the sea."

An, with a puzzled face: "I don't have a teacher!"

Koushiro, with a surprised face: "Then who taught you all your skills."

An: "Barely, my grandfather taught me."

"An thought about how he has practiced until now, and only Garp has guided him for a period of time. There is no problem in saying that it was his grandfather who taught him."

Koushiro: \\"What about your grandfather?\\"

An, with an angry face: "Run away!"

"It's okay. Garp did teach An for just a few days before he went to the Navy Headquarters. It doesn't matter if he ran away."

Koushiro, with a surprised face: "Ha!"

install:"??"

"What's your expression? If grandpa doesn't run away, I won't run outside."

"That's the fact. If grandpa doesn't leave, Shanks won't dare to come to Windmill Village. If Shanks doesn't come, the next series of things won't happen."

"So, this is all Garp's fault."

…

On the dog-headed warship.

Ah cut! Ah cut!

"Lieutenant General Garp, are you okay?

"It's okay Bogart, but I always feel like something is going to happen..."

…

In the dojo.

An and Koushiro sat up and down.

"So you came to my Isshin Dojo just to learn "Ryu Sakura"."

"Hey! Why do you feel like Liu Ying is trash around you?"

"No, no."
