One piece: voyager

Chapter 22: Making a deal for future



"Are you going to leave?"

Koushirou looked at the black-haired boy sitting in front of him with a slight surprise but soon calmed down. He touched his chin and nodded: "Yes, there is really nothing in this gym that can teach you anymore in short time. Go out and fight the strong, maybe It will be more ideal for you."

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Early winter."

It's about three months before early winter.

"Early winter..."

Koushirou looked at him and smiled: "I remember that you also came to our dojo last winter and almost a year has passed in a blink of an eye."

"I will never forget the guidance and teachings I received in the dojo this year."

Blaze said seriously.

Koushirou was also relieved and smiled: "I am also very happy to have a disciple like you. Maybe soon, I will be able to hear your name resounding across the sea."

Then Koushirou said slightly sternly:

"Blaze, I don't know what kind of person you want to be in the future, whether you are a pirate or a marine, I don't care about it."

"But I want to tell you, Blaze, since you are a swordsman. You must have something to hold important in your heart. Only when your heart is firm and clear and what you do never go against your heart, will you be able to express yourself as a swordsman in your chest. You will be heroic and determined as a rock. Only than will there be nothing that your sword can't cut!"

"Things to hold on..."

Blaze was startled.

Koushirou's expression returned to his former gentleness and smiled at him:

"It's not so easy to find the things that you hold on to my heart. I also spent a lot of effort at the beginning. I was confused for a long time before I found what I really wanted to hold on. You are still young, don't worry, you are just starting to see the sea. After exploring the vastness and meeting all kinds of people, will you naturally understand."

Blaze nodded faintly, remembering what he had said.

The two walked out the door.

Koushirou suddenly remembered something and turned to look at him: "By the way, if you leave in winter, there will probably not be too many ships on this island. You might as well wait until the early spring then I should have friends traveling through here, then I will let them take you away?"

After thinking for a while, Blaze nodded to him:

"Okay."

...

soon.

Time flies.

A few months passed and the winter solstice and spring came.

It's the beginning of the spring again.

Blaze is now 10 years old.

Before he left.

The news that he was leaving ,did not know when it spread in the gym.

Zoro was shocked when he heard it and immediately ran to find Blaze.

In the backyard full of sakura flowers, Blaze was found waving a huge dumbbell.

He is a lot taller than before, but he still looks small.

The figure is very well-proportioned, the muscles under the thin white exercise clothes are not very obvious, but the lines are very beautiful, full of vitality.

Only his enemies can know what terrifying power this small body is full of.

"Blaze, are you leaving?"

Zoro stared at Blaze and asked straightforwardly.

"yeah."

Blaze didn't look back. " tomorrow."

Zoro gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Why? Why do you want to leave in such a hurry?!"

Blaze didn't speak.

"Before leaving, with me..."

Zoro trembled, clenched his fists and yelled at Blaze, who was facing his back: "Compete with me!!"

After he knew the separation, if he wanted to meet in the vast ocean, he didn't know how long it would take.

Blaze waved the huge dumbbell and stopped.

He turned his head, looked at Zoro and smiled:

"Ok."

In this competition, the two used ordinary real swords from the gym.

Blaze held the sword in one hand.

Zoro is holding a sword in both hands, holding a sword in his mouth, posing a sword style, looking a bit reluctantly and struggling.

"Is this your three-sword style."

Blaze looked at him and smiled, "you don't seem to be skilled yet."

"yeah i'm just starting to make little improvement on it!"

Zoro bit the hilt of the sword and stared at Blaze.

"come on."

Blaze motioned for him to shoot first.

Zoro is also not polite. He knows that his strength is below Blaze. If he doesn't go all out from the beginning, he might lose out too soon.

Immediately stepped on his foot and rushed towards Blaze.

Keng!

The moment the blades meet.

Zoro's eyes widened in an instant, he seemed to hit an extremely hard, unshakable wall of steel!

The attack of the three swords was lightly blocked, no matter how hard Zoro tried, the swords remained motionless!

"The body needs to be strengthened, Zoro."

Blaze smiled at Zoro in front of him, then swiped his long sword in his hand.

The speed is so fast that Zoro can't see the blade at all.

The three swords in his hands and mouth were all knocked out.

Zoro stood in front of Blaze with trembling hands, his eyes dull.

Although he hates it, he understands that there is a big gap between his strength and Blaze...

But he didn't expect it to be so big...

At all...

There is no backhand!

Zoro clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, tears rolling in his eye sockets.

"See you in the sea from now on, Zoro. I will be waiting for you till next time ."

Blaze walked past him with a sword.

Zoro raised his arm and drew it horizontally in front of his eyes.

Not reconciled!

Why is he still so weak after a year? !

When Blaze was about to walk out of this yard.

Zoro's voice rang behind him.

"Next time, the next time we meet on the sea...I won't, I won't be so weak anymore!"

"Blaze, I will definitely surpass you!"

Blaze just paused in his footsteps and said nothing. And then left.
