One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The sky is as blue as the sea, and white clouds drift in the wind.

Under the cherry tree, Kuina's clothes are soaked with sweat, and her arm gently shakes the sword blade.

Holding the sword flower in her hand, she sheathing the sword, the girl scooped up the pool water to wash her face.

The beautiful face was reflected in the pool water, and Kuina looked down at the reflection and thought: "I wonder where An is now."

The water droplets on her palm caused ripples on the surface of the pool.

"Long time no see!"

The greeting interrupted Kuina's thoughts, and she picked up the sword and looked in the direction of the voice.

On the thick branch of the cherry tree, An sat on it with a smile on his face, his legs swinging in the air.

"An!"

Seeing the arrival of Qing, Kuina threw away the Wado Ichimonji and ran towards An.

Under the tall cherry tree, the two people who had been separated for a long time hugged each other.

"Girls' feelings are always poetic."

After expressing her longing, Kuina took An's hand and walked towards the dojo.

It was a holiday, and the dojo was empty.

In Isshin Dojo, An, Koshiro, Kuina, and Zoro sat side by side.

An was telling Kuina what happened after he left.

Compared to the boring training in the dojo, An's experience was obviously more interesting.

Zoro, who was standing by, could only tilt his head and prick up his ears to eavesdrop because he couldn't bring himself to participate in the gathering of the two.

Koshiro took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and listened quietly.

An suddenly stopped the story and took out the moon from the space.

No matter how many times they saw it, they were very surprised that An could take something out of thin air.

But everyone has their own secrets, and they didn't ask much.

Holding the moon, An said to Kuina: "I found this sword on a pirate ship, but I don't know how to use a sword. Now I give it to you."

Kuina did not refuse An's kindness, because true friends don't need to be polite.

Pulling out the Jigetsu, the snow-white blade with intricate patterns was revealed. Kuina, who was not familiar with famous swords, cast her eyes on Koshiro.

"Big Sword 21 Works • Jigetsu", Koshiro answered for Kuina.

Thank you, An! Kuina looked excited and kept looking at Jigetsu in her hand.

"Kuina, let me see", as a swordsman, Zoro's eyes showed desire to reach out and grab Jigetsu.

As Koshiro's disciple, Zoro has long been familiar with the classification of famous swords.

"Supreme Big Sword 12 Works"

"Big Sword 21 Works"

"Good Sword • 50 Works"

"And inferior swords and ordinary swords."

"Especially the first two, they are the swords that all swordsmen dream of."

Slapping Zoro's outstretched palm, Kuina threw Wado Ichimonji to Zoro.

Kuina, what are you doing? Zoro was surprised to catch Wado Ichimonji.

Turning her head, Kuina blushed and said, "I am a swordsman with a sword style. I like this Jiyue better than the Wado Ichimonji."

"As for the Wado Ichimonji, I'll give it to you. I hope you won't let it down."

Feeling the warmth of the Wado Ichimonji, Zoro looked at Koshiro.

Take it, Zoro, Koshiro said with a smile. Koshiro also had great expectations for his apprentice.

"Thank you, Master, thank you Kuina!"

Zoro, who was excited for a moment, suddenly hugged Kuina in the shock of An and Koshiro's murderous eyes.

Smelling Zoro's breath, Kuina's face flushed instantly, and she let Zoro hold her in a daze.

Not noticing Kuina's change, Zoro continued to hold Kuina and thanked her.

"Smelly boy, let go!"

Koshiro was furious, stepped on his clogs, and kicked Zoro out with one foot.

"Kuina, are you okay?" Koshiro ignored Zoro and looked at Kuina worriedly.

After coming to her senses, Kuina ran out with a nervous look.

"Crack!" An seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

"Master, why did you kick me?" Zoro shouted as two wooden clogs were printed on his face.

Looking at Kuina who ran out, Koshiro picked up the Wado Ichimonji on the ground, his face gloomy, and drew his sword out of his body, turning into a devil.

A tempting voice sounded, "Zoro, let the master test the results of your practice during this period."

"Daughter control is too terrible!" An stepped back and quietly left the dojo.

"Ah! Master, don't!" Zoro's screams spread out of the dojo, and the trees in the courtyard rustled.

"Zoro, it seems that you have been too lax during this period," Koshiro's gloomy voice came.

"Ah!"

...

In the neat and simple room of Isshin Dojo, Kuina buried her head in the quilt.

The sun hat and moonlight sent by An were placed on the cabinet beside the bed.

Recalling what happened just now, the redness that Kuina had just gone away climbed up her cheeks again.

Squeak!

Pushing open Kuina's door, An quietly walked in.

Getting into the bed, An looked at Kuina with a smile, and seeing this, Kuina reached out to grab An, and the two laughed continuously for a while.

A few hours have passed since Zoro was trained.

In the Isshin Dojo, An, Koshiro, and Kuina sat at the dining table.

In the courtyard, Zoro was gagged and hung on the cherry tree by Koshiro.

Koshiro told Zoro that this was to exercise his endurance.

Zoro nodded in agreement on the surface, but in his heart he thought, "Old man, I don't believe you."

After lunch, Kuina asked, "Father, where is Zoro?"

Hearing Kuina ask about Zoro, Koshiro's face darkened. Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he said to Kuina: "I'll go out and take a look."

"Woo woo..."

Two days later, at the port of Shimotsuki Village, a merchant ship with the flag of the Windmill Kingdom docked at the pier.

In the sun, the huge windmill flag fluttered in the wind, and the villagers looked at the merchant ship from the Windmill Kingdom curiously.

Soon the ship stopped, and the members of the Windmill Guard brought the crew to carry down the goods brought from other islands.

The original body of the Windmill Guard was the Black Tiger Bandits. After becoming king, Heath expanded the Black Tiger Bandits and changed the name to a nice one.

After all the goods were moved, the trade officially began.

In the crowd, An and Kuina were also strolling leisurely. Although these goods were much more expensive than usual, the villagers were happy to buy them without having to risk going out to sea.

There were many types of goods, including clothing, food, medicinal materials, daily necessities, and even some gem jewelry.

Picking up a sapphire bracelet, Kuina put it on An's wrist, carefully looking at Kuina and preparing to buy it for An.

In this regard, An had no objection as long as Kuina liked it.

"Boss, how much is this bracelet?" Kuina asked.

Seeing someone coming, the boss first praised An for wearing it beautifully, and then said the high price.

"200,000 Baileys!"

Looking at the money on hand, Kuina found that she only had 190,000 Baileys, so she started to bargain with the boss.

Hearing the sound, the captain of the Windmill Guard looked over. As a member of the Black Tiger Bandits, he naturally recognized his boss quickly.

But Heath had already given an order not to expose An's identity.

Sell it to her, the captain's voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

The residents of the Windmill Kingdom still respect the Windmill Guard, and the boss didn't care about the 10,000 Baileys.

After paying the money, Kuina put the bracelet on An, and the two left the dock.
