Shimotsuki (Frost Moon) Village.

Luffy and Li Yaoxiang wearing the Shinigami mask, one big and one small, walking on the mudstone road in the village. Luffy looked at the surrounding environment curiously, and couldn't help but look up and asked, "Big brother, why did you bring me here? Can you make me stronger here?"

"Well, don't you like my silver ghoul very much? I will bring you here to learn kendo. As long as you study hard, until you can suppress the silver ghoul with your own strength, then I will give it to you. "

"Really?!"

Li Yaoxiang nodded.

Luffy's eyes are bright and he is full of energy!

After a while.

One big and one small came to a kendo hall.

The owner of the Kendo Hall, Koushiro, saw that it was Li Yaoxiang, so he greeted him very politely: "Welcome, Mr. Li! Thank you for your donation to Shimotsuki Village. I didn't even have time to thank you last time. This time you have to stay for a while, so that you can meet with the landlord."

"It's okay, it was just a little effort, nothing to worry about..."

While the two of them were talking all sorts of polite things here, Luffy was foolishly looking around at the surrounding environment, completely ignoring the meaning of the dojo owner Koushiro's answer.

Walking along, he soon encountered a group of menacing bear children.

The leader hadn't spoken yet, but the bear children who looked like followers took the lead in questioning Luffy: "Hey, who are you? Do you know whose territory is here? What are you doing here?"

"Me? My name is Luffy! I came here to become stronger!"

"Being stronger? You are new here to learn kendo... Forget it, no matter what your purpose is, since you are a newcomer, let me introduce you first! The one standing in front of you is Koushiro-sensei who is the strongest. His apprentice, Zoro! Zoro can even defeat by adults! He will be your boss from now on! Come and meet me soon?"

Hearing that Zoro is the strongest, Luffy's expression became excited.

"You are the strongest here?"

Hearing this, he kept his eyes closed, looking cool, Zoro, who was holding two wooden swords, finally opened his eyes and stared at Luffy sharply.

Luffy excitedly said: "I want to challenge you!"

After saying that, without saying a word, he directly attacked.

In the courtyard of the Kendo Hall, a shocking battle was staged!

"Hahahaha! Your tricks are useless to me! I'm a rubber guy! Look at the rubber tricks! 32 Brick Fist!"

"Damn! You bastard! You cheat!"

The two were inextricably fighting.

Luffy relies on the ability of his rubber fruit to become more and more brave.

Zoro relied on his double swordsmanship to counterattack. The noise grew louder and louder, and finally received the attention of two adults, Koushiro and Li Yaoxiang. When the two came to the scene, one picked up the collars of Zoro and the other picked up Luffy with one hand and separated them.

"Let go! Let go! We're not done yet! As long as I defeat him, I'll be the strongest here!"

"Damn! If I use a real sword, you are definitely not my opponent!"

Although the two have been hanged in midair by Koushiro and Li Yaoxiang, they still did not forget to confront each other. The two adults ignored them.

Li Yaoxiang: "This is the kid. His name is Luffy. I plan to keep him here to learn kendo with you. I hope you can help me take care of him for a while."

Koushiro: "Alright, no problem."

That's it, Luffy stayed in Koushiro's Kendo Dojo and learned Kendo with Zoro.

…

Time flies, time flies.

Luffy practiced his kendo day in and day out in the kendo hall.

On this day, he routinely competed with Zoro about how many times he swung the sword.

"1001, 1002, 1003, 1004..." Zoro was very serious, and his movements were very orthodox to carry out his daily sword swinging exercise.

Luffy on the side also swiped his sword carefully.

Zoro swung as many he can.

Zoro hung the boulder on his wrist, making it more difficult to swing the blade. Luffy also added the boulder to his wrist, and he was not willing to lose to Zoro at all.

The scorching sun is in the sky.

Both of them were sweating profusely.

The number of swings was finally about to reach the goal Zoro required. He swung the last and shouted: "3000!"

Luffy followed closely behind and swung an extra: "3001!"

Then he looked at Zoro with a smile, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed, and looked like he was emotional: "Hoo~ I won again today."

"Idiot--! What kind of win is this?!"

"I'll give you a shot."

"3000 is the goal of my morning exercise! You idiot! Don't think that you can beat me by swinging more than me!"

Luffy was still smiling, ignoring what Zoro was saying.

Looks like I won.

Then turn around and leave. But as soon as he turned around, Zoro's voice came from behind him: "3001, 3002!"

Luffy turned to look at Zoro with a dumbfounded face, only to see Zoro looking at him with a mean smile...

"3002, 3003!"

"3003, 3004!"

Thus, this morning exercise will go on forever.

I don't know how many times this happened during Luffy's stay at the Kendo Hall. Both were unwilling to admit defeat.

The early morning struggle did not come to an end until Koushiro's daughter, Kuina, came to call them for dinner.

However, the fight at the dinner table started again.

"One more bowl!"

"Two bowls!"

"Three bowls!"

"I want four bowls!"

Ouch!

Ouch!

Kuina gave each of them a beating, and that was the end.

After breakfast, it is the daily challenge. Of course, this was not a project arranged by Koushiro. This is just an addition that Zoro and Luffy added themselves.

"Zoro! I'm going to challenge you!"

"Idiot, I don't want to fight you! If you could use a real sword, you would have been killed by me long ago. Kuina, I want to challenge you!"

"Oh? After playing so many times, you don't learn any lesson? You are not my opponent at all."

"Damn! I'm stronger than yesterday! Today's me will definitely be able to defeat you!"

Luffy saw Zoro challenge Kuina, and he followed suit: "Kuina, I want to challenge you too!"

"Idiot! You can't even win against me, why would you challenge Kuina?!"

"I don't care, I will challenge!"

"Since the two of you want to be beaten so much, then I'll do it for you. Come on together."

"Damn! Kuina! You are looking down on me! I am enough to deal with you! I don't need this idiot!"

Luffy also roared.

After a while, several people came to the courtyard.

Zoro and Luffy are of course unwilling to play two against one, so when one fights, the other will watch first. It's just what Kuina want.

Kuina took the initiative to attack Luffy while fighting Zoro.

In the end, the two had to work together to deal with Kuina...
