It's nothing to fight alone, both of them can fight with Kuina in a few ways. But when the two played against one another, their strength weakened a lot.

They drag each other back.

Often when attacking Kuina, as long as Kuina flashes, their attack will fall on each other instead.

As a result, Kuina solved the two perfectly with three strokes and two strokes.

"Idiot! If you hadn't made trouble here, I wouldn't have lost to Kuina!"

"You're the fool! You messed me up!"

The bear children who watched the battle did not forget to make a noise, and recorded the record of the three by the way.

"Kuina vs Zoro, 2000 wins, 0 losses!"

"Kuina vs Luffy, 78 wins, 0 losses!"

After this battle, the two of them once again exercised desperately, and threatened to defeat Kuina tomorrow.

It was that night.

The night was quiet.

Zoro sneaked into the Kendo Hall.

He was careful, trying not to make any noise from his footsteps, and slipped into the place where the real sword was placed in the dojo.

Just as he was about to take away the real blade on the wall, Luffy just happened to appear behind him, picking his nose and saying, "What are you doing?"

Zoro was taken aback.

He turned around and rushed forward to pounce on Luffy, covering Luffy's mouth tightly.

"Shh-! Idiot, don't make a sound!" Luffy was about to resist when Zoro quickly added, "Don't make a sound and I'll tell you!"

Luffy's eyes flickered twice and nodded.

"Kuina is practicing in the backyard, I'm going to fight her with these real swords! As long as I use real swords, I will definitely not lose to her!"

Luffy's reaction is even bigger!

"You want to secretly become stronger?!"

"Shh-! Don't shout so loudly! If the owner of the dojo hears it, it's over, idiot!"

"I want to fight too!"

"Idiot, your swordsmanship is so weak, if you use a real sword, you will be defeated all at once. What else can you do?"

"I, too, want, yes, fight!"

"…"

Zoro couldn't beat Luffy, so in the end he had to hold a few real swords in both hands and ran to the backyard to find Kuina.

In the backyard.

Kuina swings a sword against the stake to exercise. Luffy and Zoro came here at this time.

"Kuina! I brought a real sword! Try it with me!"

"Me too! I'm going to compete with you with a real knife too!"

"With me? Okay."

Moonlight shone on the three of them.

Even a real sword could not change the gap between the two sides, Zoro and Luffy were defeated by Kuina in a while. Kuina didn't become weaker because she was using a real sword, she was a bit more aggressive.

Now, Zoro and Luffy no longer have to admit that they lost.

Totally lost.

"That's outrageous!! I'm not giving up!" Zoro was very unwilling.

His dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman.

But now he can't beat Kuina even once, what kind of dreams does he have the face to talk about?

He was so unwilling that he even shed tears.

Luffy, who lost to Kuina, did the same, with tears in his eyes, and muttered unwillingly to himself: "Damn...why, why am I still so weak..."

Kuina did not go to comfort the two little boys in pain.

Instead, Kuina said with a look of emotion: "Actually... I should be the one who say that..."

"What?!" Zoro and Luffy said in unison.

"When girls grow up, their physical strength will definitely be worse than boys... I'm about to fall behind you. Don't you always say that you want to become the world's number one swordsman? Dad said... a girl can never become the world's number one swordsman..."

Having said this, Kuina's tears couldn't help flowing down: "I envy you guys for being boys, I also wanted to be number one in the world..."

Zoro: "I won and told me such a thing!! You are so despicable! You are my target!!"

"Zoro..."

"So, if one day I beat you, it wouldn't be based on my strength?!! I've worked hard to promise you, don't I look like a fool?!"

"Let's make a promise! One of us must become the world's greatest swordsman! Let's see who fulfills the dream first!"

Luffy: "Me too! If you want to become the world's largest swordsman, then I will become the strongest person in the world! I want to protect everyone around me! Let everyone not be hurt! Let's see who Fulfill your dreams first!"

"Fool... I defeated you two..."

The picture is very moving.

Kuina was also very moved.

She knew that Zoro and Luffy were comforting her, cheering her up, and telling her not to give up.

Packed up their mood, the three of them stretched out their hands and held hands.

"I promise you."

"Okay! It's a promise!" "It's a promise!"

"By the way, the two of you come to be my partners too." The atmosphere was very good, and was instantly broken by Luffy.

"Idiot! Is this the time to say such things?! You are so weak! Don't expect me to join you!"

The two fought each other again.

It made Kuina laugh and cry.

In this way, the three children made an oath that they would never give up for the rest of their lives...

…

The next morning.

They were so tired last night.

Zoro and Luffy both slept very late today.

But when they woke up to the Kendo Dojo, they heard a thunderbolt.

"It's not good! It's not good! Zoro, Luffy! Kuina fell from the stairs... She died!"

Zoro rushed in front of Kuina's body and scolded: "Damn! You only made a promise to us yesterday!! Are you running away now?!!"

"Zoro! Don't do this!"

Zoro was in trouble for a while, but his emotions finally calmed down a little.

He immediately knelt down in front of Koushiro: "Teacher, please give me her sword!"

Taking the saber, Zoro swore with tears on his face: "I want to be even better!! Become the world's greatest swordsman who even heaven can hear my name!!"

Compared to Zoro's excitement.

Luffy was much quieter when faced with this matter.

There was no fuss during the whole process.

But that doesn't mean he's not sad.

On the contrary, he was very sad.

He felt very uncomfortable.

The tears were completely uncontrollable and kept flowing down.

He kept wiping away tears.

wiped and flowed.

flowed and wiped.

He stopped wiping.

At the same time, he kept asking himself in a low voice: "Why... why is this happening? Why do people around me die one by one... Is it because I am too weak..."

Koushiro heard Luffy's muttering.

The death of his daughter made him sad, but he still walked over to Luffy, patted Luffy on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, it's not your problem. This is an accident, no one would want this to happen..."

Obviously, Zoro also noticed the movement here.

He walked up to Luffy and scolded: "Idiot! Stop crying! Didn't you say you want to be the most powerful person in the world?! This is what you promised Kuina! We have to do it! Let's work hard together!"

But Zoro's own tears couldn't be stopped either...
