Chapter 391 Shimotsuki Koshiro Requests to Teach Yoru's Domination Technique
Afterwards, Yoru and Ace chatted for a while, and Yoru learned about this world and also realized that Ace must be related to Luffy.
Yoru guessed correctly; Ace and Luffy did indeed have a good relationship. However, what puzzled Yoru was that Ace wasn't Luffy's brother.
Yoru was unaware that Ace had only become sworn brothers with Sabo and Luffy later on; for now, the two were merely close partners.
Of course, it's actually quite similar to a brotherly relationship.
After chatting for a long time, Ace found it very interesting to talk to Yoru.
He was previously somewhat jealous of Luffy because he kept mentioning Yoru.
But after talking with Ye Yu today, he understood why.
It was really interesting talking to Yoru.
When Ace left the tavern, he was even a little reluctant to leave.
After Luffy and Ace left, the tavern closed.
While cleaning up the tavern, Makino asked Yoru, "How's your training at Isshin Dojo going? Is it tough?"
Yoru smiled and said, "It's not bitter at all, it's quite interesting. Moreover, Koushirou-sensei's level is indeed very high, and you can learn a lot from him."
Makino nodded. "If you think it's good, then it's good."
Makino did not ask Yoru in detail what sword techniques he had learned.
After all, she didn't understand, nor did she want to ask; she believed in Ye Yu's talent.
After all, someone who is valued by Shanks must have exceptional talent.
As Ace and Luffy walked back, Ace kept thinking about his conversation with Yoru, then turned to Luffy and asked, "How long do you think it will take Yoru to reach our level?"
Luffy paused for a moment. He hadn't thought about this question before, let alone the fact that he was only five years old.
So he stared at Ace with a blank expression.
Ace explained, "How long do you think it would take Ye Yu to reach our current strength? Can the dojo in Shimotsuki Village really help Ye Yu improve his strength?"
Ace expressed his doubts about this.
Luffy thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible, right? I think it's definitely possible."
Ace thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true. What if you lose to him ten years from now?"
Luffy chuckled and said, "Then I'll set sail on my own and surpass him to become the greatest adventurer."
Ace asked, somewhat puzzled, "Don't you have any confidence in winning?"
Luffy laughed and said, "I'm sure I can win, but I think Yoru might also be able to win."
Ace was speechless. What was the difference between Luffy saying that and not saying anything at all?
But he's always been like this, and Ace has gotten used to it.
"Then I will become the Pirate King and find the One Piece before you all do."
Whether you become the Pirate King or the Adventure King, the ultimate goal is to find the One Piece.
Luffy laughed and said, "I'll definitely find it first."
"However, I think Yoru will become a Marine in the future; he doesn't seem to like pirates."
Ace nodded. "I could tell. When we were talking earlier, he didn't seem to really like pirates."
"But not liking pirates doesn't necessarily mean he'll become a Marine. He could become an adventurer like you."
The two discussed the future along the way, but Luffy's dream had changed to become an adventurer, while Ace's dream remained unchanged: to become the Pirate King.
On the other side, in the blacksmith shop at the entrance of Shimotsuki Village.
With the moon shining brightly and stars few, Shimotsuki Koushirou slowly walked to the entrance of the blacksmith shop.
After standing at the door for a while, an old man's voice came from inside the blacksmith shop.
"Come in, the door's open."
Shimotsuki Koushirou pushed open the door and entered the blacksmith shop.
The furnace in the blacksmith's shop was still burning, so the air in the whole room was very stuffy.
In another room, which could be considered a bedroom, lay a frail old man.
When the old man saw Shimotsuki Koshiro, he sat up.
He said weakly, "A rare guest indeed. Do you need a knife?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro sat in a chair in the room.
He slowly said, "A child with great talent has joined our dojo. I would like to ask you to teach him how to use his domineering aura."
This man is Shimotsuki Kozaburo's father, Shimotsuki Kozaburo. He was originally a famous swordsmith in Wano Country who forged Enma and Wado Ichimonji. He gave Enma to Kozuki Oden, the shogun of Wano Country, while he took the other sword, Wado Ichimonji, out of Wano Country and eventually gave it to his granddaughter, Kuina.
At this time, Shimotsuki Kozaburo's health was already very poor, and he was about to die.
However, Shimotsuki Koshiro rarely came to ask him for favors, and he didn't even really want Kuina to have any contact with him.
I never expected to come to him today asking him to teach a student.
Shimotsuki Kozaburo looked at Shimotsuki Koshiro and asked seriously, "What kind of student could make you like this?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro thought for a moment and said, "He is a very talented child. I think he has the talent to become a swordsman, or even a great swordsman."
Upon hearing this, Shimotsuki Kosaburo, who had been looking weak, immediately perked up, his gaze sharpening slightly as he asked, "Really?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded. "I have no reason to lie to you."
Shimotsuki Kozaburo thought for a moment and said, "It seems he has a good character; you're actually willing to come and ask me for help."
Shimotsuki Koshiro remained silent.
After a long while, Shimotsuki Kozaburo finally said, "Alright, let me do something for you in the last moments of my life."
"However, my body can no longer use Haki. I can only teach him how to use it; I can't demonstrate it."
Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded. "With his talent, there shouldn't be any problem."
After saying that, Shimotsuki Koshiro looked around the room and asked, "Are you really going to stay here forever?"
The environment here is not good, and Shimotsuki Koshiro does not think this place is a good place to retire.
However, Shimotsuki Kozaburo shook his head and said, "I am a swordsmith, and I will feel at ease living here."
"Don't worry about me. I'd like to meet that child as soon as possible and see what kind of talent allows you to achieve this."
After saying that, Shimotsuki Kozaburo asked, "How is Kuina? Is she still thinking about becoming the world's greatest swordsman?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded. "She hasn't changed, but since she wants to pursue that goal, then let her do it. I don't think she can do it, but I will support her in doing it. Even if she can't become the world's greatest swordsman in the future, becoming a generation of swordsmen is not bad either."
Shimotsuki Kozaburo sighed, "That girl is still as stubborn as ever, but she has good talent. Even if she can't become the world's strongest swordsman in the future, she will still achieve great things."
"She's the person I'm most worried about right now, so you'll have to protect her well from now on."
Although he didn't think Kuina would become the strongest swordsman in the future, Shimotsuki Kozaburo had seen how powerful the great swordsmen were.
However, Kuina is his granddaughter, his only granddaughter, and he loves her very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given her the Wado Ichimonji, which represents protection.
Shimotsuki Kozaburo actually hoped that Kuina could live a peaceful and safe life.
