Chapter 188: Sauron: I have a special way of getting lost.
East China Sea, Seymour Zhiji Village.
Many years ago, after Kozaburo Shigetsuki created "Wado Ichimonji" and "Enma", he led some of the Shigetsuki clan members to leave the country of Wano and come to the East China Sea.
With his superior force, he easily defeated the local bandit gang and was warmly welcomed by the local villagers. The name of the village was changed to 'Seymour Shiki Village' (i.e. Shuangyue Village).
Moreover, a kendo dojo is opened here to teach kendo to others so that they can have the power to protect themselves.
But despite this, the reputation of this ashram is not outstanding.
Maybe it's because of geography, or maybe it's because of the intentional actions of Kozaburo and later Koshiro.
After Kosaburo passed away, Koshirō Shigetsuki, who took over as the master of the dojo, became more and more low-key. Although he had extremely strong swordsmanship, he never showed his true strength. In addition, he had a gentle and non-competitive personality.
In short, few people know that there is a swordsman master in this small Seymour Shiki Village.
In a room in the dojo, Koushiro looked helplessly at the unconvinced little green algae-head Roronoa Zoro, and said softly: "It's okay, Zoro, getting lost..."
"Teacher Koushiro, I'm not lost!"
Before Koushiro could finish his words, Zoro, who had just turned 3 years old, knelt down on the tatami and retorted with a blushing face.
Koushiro had already anticipated Zoro's reaction.
In his eyes, although Zoro is young, he is more mature than most of his peers and even children older than him. His talent in kendo also surprised Koushiro, thinking that he He is a rare young man who is good at swordsmanship.
But unfortunately, when it comes to identifying directions, this little guy Zoro has a unique way of getting lost.Even if someone else is taking him along, if he doesn't pay attention, he won't know where he went.
For example, this morning, Koushiro asked Kuina to take Zoro to the village market to buy things. As a result, his daughter was not paying attention and Zoro disappeared.
Guina was quite anxious and searched for a long time. She even went back to the dojo to ask someone to help her search. Finally, she found him in a small forest, which made her very angry.
"Hmph, you're obviously lost!" Little Loli Kuina, who was also kneeling next to Zoro, snorted with a mocking look on her face.
When Zoro heard this, he immediately became anxious and retorted against Kuina's head: "Smelly Kuina, what did you say? I'm not lost!"
"obviously it is!"
"I do not have!"
"Have!"
"No!!"
……
Seeing the two people arguing and replying, Koushiro had to shout to stop the two of them. Then he rubbed his brows with a headache and sighed helplessly.
At this moment, a man wearing a dojo training uniform walked in and said respectfully to Koushiro: "Master, there is an outsider asking to see you at the door, saying he is your friend."
"Oh? Friend?" Koushiro murmured softly.
In the years since Koushiro took over the dojo, he has basically not gone out much, and most of his interpersonal interactions have been with the residents of the village.
But if the villagers are visiting, there is no need to inform them specially. After all, the village is so big and they are already familiar with each other.
"By the way, Teacher, I saw from the port that they got off a particularly large warship. Judging from the size, it might be the legendary warship from the Navy Headquarters." The apprentice seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly.
"The warships of the headquarters? During this period, there are only a few of the headquarters navy coming to the East China Sea..." Koushiro raised his brows and said slowly.
"Teacher?" The dojo apprentice looked puzzled, not understanding the meaning of his master's words.
Koushiro didn't explain too much, he just stood up and straightened his clothes, turned to the dojo apprentice and said: "Okay, don't be stunned, open the dojo door wide, and prepare to welcome the distinguished guests."
"Yes, Master."
After watching the apprentice leave, Koushiro looked down at the two people who were still looking at each other in anger, couldn't help but smile, and then said softly: "You two, come with me to welcome the guests."
"Yes, Master (Father)." x2
After Zoro and Kuina heard Koushiro's instructions, they also looked away, stood up, and nodded politely in response.
It can be seen that this Shigetsuki Koushiro has great prestige in the hearts of these two people.
.........
"Is this the legendary Isshin Dojo?"
In front of the dojo, Louis was wearing a beach-style casual suit, with brown sunglasses on his nose, a cigarette in his mouth, and a seven-star sword on his waist. He was touching his chin with one hand, looking very interested.
Beside him, Dorag was wearing a classic dark green cloak, covering his appearance. After hearing Louis' words, he unabashedly rolled his eyes and said: "The legendary Yishin Dojo, the entire East China Sea is basically the same. It’s not famous, okay? Where did you hear the ‘legend’?”
"Well, don't worry about these details." Louis waved his hand and chuckled.
Then he asked: "Do you think Mr. Koshiro can guess that you are coming?"
Dorag ignored him after that, and Louis, who felt a little bored, began to look at the dojo.
On the gate of the simple dojo that looks to be a few years old, there are the four characters "一心 dojo" written on it. The walls are painted with white paint, and the blue bricks at the bottom are lined up together. The tiles are stacked one on top of another, making it look quite impressive. For simplicity.
Inside, one could faintly hear the shouts of the apprentices working hard.
Just as Louis was observing, the door of the dojo slowly opened, and then, Koushiro with a smile on his face, accompanied by Zoro and Kuina with tight faces, the three figures appeared in front of Louis and Drago within sight range.
However, the moment Koushiro saw Dorag, he was stunned for a moment, but then he returned to normal, turned sideways, stretched out his arms, and said with a smile:
"I am the master of the next heart dojo, Shigetsuki Koushiro. Two guests, please."
"Excuse me." Louis smiled and nodded.
Dorag did not make a sound, but nodded.
Looking at this weird man wearing a cloak that covered his figure, the two little carrot heads were a little curious, but their long-term education prevented them from asking questions.
Led by Koushiro, the group walked through the front yard and came to the reception room in the main house.
Louis and Dorag were not polite and sat cross-legged on the tatami very naturally. Then, Koushiro asked: "Kuina, go bring the tea set. I will boil water and serve tea to the two guests."
"Yes, father." Kuina responded quickly.
At this time, Louis looked at the little girl who died young in the original work with great interest.
Judging from the appearance, it must be said that he is a beautiful child, different from his father's ordinary face. Perhaps he inherited his mother's face.
As for her qualifications, if you compare Zoro's growth trajectory, you should be able to understand that Kuina's swordsmanship talent is definitely at the top level.
Such a good young man should join our navy and contribute to justice!
Later, Louis turned his attention to the famous infancy, the three-sword style, the small green algae head, Zoro.
Needless to say, you can understand a lot by reading the original work.
The two generals are really good candidates!
"Okay, there is no one else here, Dorag." After his daughter went to get the tea set, Koushiro pushed up his glasses and said softly.
Hearing this, Dorag followed the good example. After taking off his hood, he revealed his true face and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Koushiro. After all, I am currently wanted by the government."
"I understand, but...as a thorn in the government's side, how come you are with this general?" Then Koushiro asked curiously.
Dolag raised his brows and said in a conspiratorial manner: "Well, maybe he is also from our GM army, maybe, right, Louis."
"Tsk, you are a person who tells lies as soon as you open your mouth. Who would believe it?" Louis rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
Koushiro looked at the conversation between the two, and his somewhat tense body relaxed a little.
It seems that it is not what I thought.
"Ahem..." Seeing that the two of them were chatting more and more animatedly, Koushiro had no choice but to interrupt them. Then he looked at Dorag and asked, "Dorag, I already know your purpose, but unfortunately, I I will not give up the Yishin Dojo and choose to go to the GM Army with you. As for other help, my Shuangyue family has a little surplus, so I should be able to provide some funding."
"Alas...as expected." Dorag scratched his face and sighed helplessly.
In his heart, he valued Koushiro as a person more than these materials. From the first meeting, he kept inviting Koshiro to join the GM army.
However, due to his own responsibilities and the safety of Shuoyue Village, Koushiro refused every time.
However, Dolag can also understand and does not intend to force it.
Facing his friend, he was not completely sure.
Seeing this, Koushiro smiled apologetically, then looked at the admiral who suddenly arrived, and asked softly: "I don't know, Mr. Admiral...?"
