Pirates: The Strongest Justice

East Blue, Logue town.

A handsome little girl with short black hair walked quickly on the street, holding a long knife with not very exquisite decoration in her arms. The scabbard was white and had no reverse corners, making it look a bit plain and simple.

Holding tightly the news paper he had just received today, he looked excited and didn't even pay much attention to avoiding the bustling crowd. He just relied on the swordsman's instinctive reaction to run towards the center of the town.

It has been more than a year since Kuina was taken to Logue Town. During this year, she has almost lived and ate in Marine.

Because of Atlas' special instructions and Kuina's amazing talent, Colonel Randall would naturally not be stingy with his care.

So Kuina is different from when she first entered Marine. She basically only needs to practice swordsmanship every day.

However, Kuina herself is also very impressive.

Just like recreating Atlas's feat back then, Kuina also challenged the base up and down.

Of course, it was a little better than the Atlas at that time.

After all, Kuina had been able to easily defeat the adults in the Isshin Dojo a few years ago.

but……

What made her a little depressed was that he had heard almost no news about Brother Atlas in the past year.

It seems that she has been forgotten in Logue town.

But after seeing the Summit War live broadcast, she had quietly forgiven Brother Atlas.

Brother Atlas must be too busy to have free time to call her.

Moreover, she clearly saw——

The destructive power produced by the man named Whitebeard was so terrifying that even though Atlas had the ability to heal quickly, the pain caused must not be immune.

But Brother Atlas won in the end.

So after completing morning training these days, she ran to the port to see if any news birds were passing by.

Kuina, who was constantly thinking about other things, didn't notice at all that there was also a little girl walking through the crowd.

boom--! ! !

Snap! !

The sound of crisp plastic hitting the ground was heard, followed by two sounds of pain.

"Hiss~ It hurts so much!!"×2

"Hey, you two brats, be careful when you walk, and everyone around you should move away, Laozi!!"

"Is everything okay, little girl?"

"They are two hot-tempered little girls. There are so many people and they can easily get tripped and injured."

When the surrounding crowd saw the two people's condition, they dispersed one after another, surrounding the two people to prevent them from being trampled by uninformed passers-by.

Kuina subconsciously rubbed her forehead, took Wado Yimon and the news paper into her arms, and blurted out the word "sorry".

"I'm really sorry, are you okay..."

But mid-sentence, it stopped abruptly.

Because, a little girl who looked exactly like her sat slumped opposite her, saying sorry while groping on the ground with her eyes narrowed.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Kuina picked up the glasses from the ground and handed them to the other party.

"Ah! That's it. Thank you very much."

The little black-haired girl took the glasses with surprise and put them on the bridge of her nose. The world in front of her eyes finally became clearer.

"Eh?! You are..."

As if she couldn't believe what she saw before her eyes, the little girl raised her glasses again, rubbed her eyes with her little hands, and pulled down her glasses again.

Finally, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"I can't believe it. I didn't expect to meet someone who looks exactly like me here."

Kuina's expression was so stunned that she didn't even notice that the news paper in her hand slipped quietly.

"Yeah, it's the first time I've seen...Eh?!"

"Eh?! This knife in your hand——"

The little black-haired girl straightened the frame a little, bent down, and looked left and right at Wado Yimonji in Kuina's arms, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"This is……"

"Absolutely, absolutely right!! I saw an introduction to this knife in my father's study!!"

While muttering, the little black-haired girl took out a thin book from her body and rummaged through it quickly.

Crash-! !

Suddenly, the little girl screamed.

"I found it, Wadao Yimonji, it is indeed it!!"

He pointed to a certain line of notes in the book and read it word for word: "This is a famous sword that ranks among the twenty-one great swords!!"

"This is the sword my father gave me when I went to sea."

Kuina nodded. Staring at the word "Wado" in his hand, he was in a daze.

It seems... I haven't seen my father for a long time.

However, she must one day become the world's best swordsman and prove it to her father.

Even a girl can become a very powerful swordsman! !

Thinking of this, a look of determination appeared on Kuina's face, and her young face looked even more heroic.

"Huh? I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself!"

The little black-haired girl looked at Kuina, who looked heroic, and her little face turned visibly red. She nervously wiped her sweaty hands on her body, and stretched out her hand towards Kuina opposite.

He pursed his lips and smiled: "Hello, my name is Tashigi, and I am the daughter of the owner of the sword gym in the town."

"Hello, my name is Kuina. I am from Shimotsuki village and currently a member of the Logue town reserve Marine."

Kuina also stretched out her hand, gently held it with Tashigi, and smiled slightly.

"Eh? You're Marine?!"

Tashigi was stunned, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"I want to join Marine when I grow up, but you seem to be about the same age as me. Why did you join Marine so early?"

"I'm just temporarily living at the Marine Base in Logue town. I can't really join the Marines."

Kuina quickly waved her hands awkwardly and explained.

"That's pretty awesome. Since you are Marine, then..."

"Eh?! This is it?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a crumpled newspaper lying on the ground. Tashigi knelt down curiously and picked it up.

Carefully unfolding it, a photo that almost occupies the entire newspaper came into view. The photo showed a Marine's profile.

He has short black hair, a resolute face, and strong lines. His streamlined muscles are exposed, covering his body like armor. He holds an exquisite and luxurious long knife in his hand, with a faint purple arc dancing around.

At the top, a bold title is written in bold fonts.

——Marine’s new Admiral! ! The man who dethroned Whitebeard from being the strongest in the world! !

"It's Mr. Bai Jian!!"

Tashigi had a look of admiration on his face, and his little hand holding the news paper unconsciously clenched a little tighter.

"Eh?! Do you know Brother Atlas too?"

"Of course, Mr. Bai Jian is the Marine I admire the most, and he is also my future goal."

As he said this, Tashigi scratched his head in embarrassment.

"When I grow up, I want to become a powerful Marine swordsman and snatch back all the famous swords that have fallen into the hands of villains in the world!!"

"I risk my life! We must snatch 12 supreme sharp knives, 21 great sharp knives, and 50 good sharp knives from the hands of the villains!!"

"It's really...a great dream."

Kuina smiled particularly brightly under the sunlight.
