Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 54: Can Women Really Not Become the Strongest in the World?

As usual, Kuina climbed up to the second floor of the warehouse.

There was a very good whetstone here.

Although knives were the mainstream weapons of the present era, they still needed maintenance, especially for better knives. The better the knife, the more time their owners needed to spend on maintenance.

And Kuina herself was a lover of swords, and her sword was a genuine famous sword - the Wado Ichimonji!

"Found it!" Kuina's eyes lit up.

The whetstone that could sharpen the Wado Ichimonji was actually a rare treasure.

This whetstone actually belonged to her father, Koshiro, but... it should be okay to use it secretly, right?

Carrying the heavy whetstone, Kuina was about to descend the ladder.

Suddenly!

She stepped on empty space, and the heavy whetstone pressed against her body as she fell.

"Not good--"

Kuina was not weak, but she was only an eleven-year-old child. If this continued...

She instinctively closed her eyes, and her mind went blank.

Am I... going to die?

The next second!

"Universal Pull!"

A strange force appeared, grabbing Kuina's body out of thin air and pulling her to the side.

Her whole body, along with the whetstone, was sucked away.

Next, she felt a gentle embrace that helped stabilize her body.

"Phew... luckily I made it in time."

A magnetic voice, with a hint of relaxation.

Kuina hesitated to open her eyes, but she saw a man in black clothes with a handsome face.

He was holding her, with one hand also holding the whetstone to prevent it from falling and hitting him.

Feeling the strong male presence, Kuina blushed and quickly broke free from his embrace, stepping back a few steps.

"Sorry." Zhao Xu smiled lightly. "Are you okay?"

The one who made the move just now was none other than Zhao Xu.

"I'm... I'm fine... Thank you for saving me." Kuina quickly bowed, as her upbringing was strict.

"It's nothing." Zhao Xu smiled. "But next time, be more careful. For example, you could install a ladder here... Is Koshiro's family really that poor?"

Kuina's face turned slightly red, unsure if it was because she had been too close to a man's body just now or for some other reason.

Zhao Xu spoke casually, but there was a sense of relief in his eyes.

Lucky...

If he hadn't arrived in time, they would have held Kuina's funeral...

"Are you a friend of my father?" Kuina curiously asked.

"Sort of, although we just met today." Zhao Xu shrugged. "I'm Zhao Xu, here to accompany someone to buy food."

"Oh, you're Mr. Long." Kuina suddenly realized.

Long had come to the Ichimonji Dojo to buy food more than once, and Kuina was familiar with him.

But...

"Wasn't it a person with a big face who used to come to buy food before?"

"Oh, she's on maternity leave recently and busy giving birth."

"Uh... is that so?"

"Yeah, that's probably it."

After blackening the Demon King, the two were chatting when suddenly a figure approached.

Uchiha Madara!

"Brother." Zhao Xu smiled lightly.

"Mm." Uchiha Madara nodded, then looked at Kuina. "Go to the dojo, your father is calling you."

The dojo was not far from here, but it was not close either.

It seems that Koshiro's observation Haki is not weak...

Kuina was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness.

Obviously, she was about to be scolded.

...

It would take some time for the revolutionaries to gather enough food, so it seemed that they would need to stay at Koshiro's place for two or three days.

But Long was in a good mood now.

Although Koshiro was one of the few supporters of the revolutionaries, they still needed money to buy food from him.

It seemed that because Zhao Xu had saved his daughter's life, he planned to give them a good discount.

Zhao Xu didn't feel anything about this. After returning to the dojo, Koshiro expressed his gratitude to him for a long time. But for him, being thanked by a big man was nothing special.

Kuina is probably being scolded right now.

She almost died, so it would be strange if her parents didn't scold her.

But this kind of family matter was not something Long and Zhao Xu could intervene in, nor did they have the right to intervene.

Zhao Xu also had no intention of getting involved in other people's family disputes. He was standing on the beach, leisurely watching the coastline.

The sea seemed to be something that could never be seen enough.

"Hmm?" Zhao Xu suddenly looked up and saw someone beside him.

Kuina's eye sockets were filled with tears as she walked step by step towards him.

Until she saw Zhao Xu, she hesitated for a moment and sat down next to him.

She didn't say a word, and Zhao Xu didn't speak either.

They sat like this for who knows how long, until Kuina finally said something.

"Hey, Zhao Xu... is it true that women can't become the strongest in the world?"
