Opening: Devil Fruit can be upgraded

"drink!"

"ha!"

……

In the training area of the dojo, new and old apprentices were either fighting or studying on their own.

Although Roger came here several times a day, this was the first time he came so early.

"Eh? Isn't that the temporary worker of that dojo?"

The temporary worker is one of the names given to Roger by the few younger boys in the dojo who always mock him.

"Huh? Why did he come so early today?"A man who seemed to be the leader of the teenagers said

"Big brother, let's go find him some trouble?"

There were three people in the youth group in the dojo, and the last one who spoke was the youngest and the most mischievous one among them.

"Adi, this is the dojo. If Mr. Koshiro finds out that we are bullying this guy who does odd jobs, it will leave a bad impression on him."Deno. Kerr disagreed with Adi's suggestion.

Adi refers to the youngest boy in the group.

Deno. Kerr is another member of the boy group and the first one to find Rogge and speak up.

"Well, Kerr is right, we can't leave a bad impression on Mr. Koshiro." Brother Bond sneered and said,"But we can deal with him openly."

"Deal with him openly?"Although Adi is the most naughty and speaks the most hurtful words, he is also the dumbest. For some words with connotations, Adi has no ideas of his own.

"The boss means that we can bully the chores under the rules of the dojo." Kerr explained to Adi

"Bullying him under the rules? Good! Great!"Although Adi didn't really understand what the two meant, he still responded in a pretentious manner.

"Let's go, let's go find this 'kendo genius' to compete." Bond chuckled and waved to his two brothers.

At this time, Rogge didn't feel any difference from the previous training. He just found a place with few people and started swinging his real sword.

The real sword made a sound of wind being cut off, which attracted many people's attention.

But then they didn't think it was strange. Most people continued to practice or fight. Only a few apprentices who saw the real sword for the first time showed envy frequently.

Speaking of fighting, Rogge has never fought. In the past six years, no one has been good friends with Rogge. It's not just because Rogge is weak, but also because Rogge himself is a solitary person. If it is not necessary, Rogge is unwilling to talk to others, even if he has been ridiculed by a few naughty boys for several years.

"Hey! Do you want to compete with us in swordsmanship?"

Rogge looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the bad boys who enjoyed mocking him every day.

The one who just spoke was the shortest, smallest, and foul-mouthed one among them.

"Do you want to use a real sword?" Roger did not refuse, but picked up the sword and waved it in front of the three people and asked.

……

"How come this guy has a real knife?" Adi leaned close to Kerr's ear and asked

"This... I don't know either."

Kerr said with a twitch in his mouth, but he regretted that the three of them were just fantasizing about bullying Rogge, but they didn't notice Rogge's dazzling real knife.

"Of course not with real knives!"

Bond said. As the eldest of the three, Bond thought he couldn't lose his composure and had to be thick-skinned to make the other side feel uncomfortable fighting him with real knives.

"But I only have this real sword, should I fight you with my bare hands? It's not impossible." Rogge put the sword back into the sheath, and then put up the sleeves of his long kendo clothes.

Bond and the other two looked at Rogge who looked like a gangster, and were speechless for a moment. Who is the real gangster in Shimotsuki Village?!

"Of course not, we are competing with swords, not who is the best fighter."

Bond said as he threw his wooden sword to Rogge. Although Bond thought that Rogge could not beat him and the others, he did not want to beat Rogge who was unarmed, because there would be no joy of victory if he won.

Snap! Rogge caught the sword steadily, then looked at the three people and asked,"Who of you three will go up? Or all three of you?"

"Damn you, I was already mad at you. Do you really think you can beat us?" Adi walked forward with a sword in his hand, looking grumpy.

"Boss, I think this errand boy seems a little different."Kerr was a little worried that Adi would suffer.

"It doesn't matter. Adi has always been like this. Winning is the best. If he doesn't win, he should take it as a lesson, so as not to offend someone in the future."Bond and the other two have the intention to go to sea together, so they are a little uncomfortable with Adi's personality. They are worried that Adi will cause trouble.

"That's right, we don't want to be pirates like that after all."Kerr agreed. Obviously, the three of them also had a great adventure mentality and dreamed of going out to sea.

As for some of the pirates in their eyes, they were just like those who occasionally appeared in Shimotsuki Village, burning, killing and robbing. Of course, every time they didn't wait for their big moves, Mr. Koshiro would solve them. This is also the reason why Koshiro has so many apprentices.

"Ah!" Adi yelled, rushing forward with his wooden sword in hand.

"There are a lot of flaws."Rogge found Adi's attack funny.

When Adi was about two meters away from Rogge, Rogge suddenly thrust the wooden sword forward and took a step forward.

"You lose." As he said this, Rogge stabbed Adi's belly with his wooden sword.

He lost? So quickly? He hadn't even chopped down with his sword yet, and he couldn't even see the opponent's sword and figure clearly. Who is this guy? Has he been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

"Ah!" Adi yelled, and seemed to be about to chop down with the wooden sword.

"Stop it, Adi!" Bond shouted.

"But……"

���Adi was still hesitating, and Bond yelled,"Stupid, don't you realize you are no match for him?"

Bond walked up to Adi, strangled him by the neck, and threw him to the ground.

Bang! The sound of the wooden board colliding with the man.

I didn't expect that Bond was quite strong. Roger thought.

Adi was a short boy, but he was not shorter than Roger, and Adi was already fifteen years old, with a body of flesh weighing more than 100 pounds.

"We apologize for the challenge and previous offenses."

"Of course, we did this not because we are afraid of you, but out of respect for the strong."

After saying this, Bond took the dizzy Adi and left with Kerr. Roger, who was a little confused, was left looking at the three people.

"As expected, people in this world only respect the strong."

With a self-deprecating laugh, Rogge fell into endless busyness again. He would not seek revenge on the three people. Rogge had no interest in taking revenge on the quick-witted bastard.

And because he did not meet Zoro and Kuina in the dojo this time, Rogge had nothing else to do, so he continued the boring and fearless chopping practice. But unlike before, his strong body allowed him to have an unprecedented improvement in his control of the sword. Perhaps this was the reason why Rogge suddenly became a swordsman.
