After saying that, the red-haired man left.

The next day, Noah rowed away in his boat. The purpose of this trip was basically achieved. He had a fight with the red-haired man and lost, but he learned a lot.
Luffy also saw it. Although there are various coincidences, he is just an ordinary naughty kid at the moment.
By the way, I also saved Red Hair's arm. I'm glad that good people will live a peaceful life. Not only Red Hair will thank me, but Hawkeye will too.
Noah happily returned to Frost Moon Village and began his career of teaching his disciples again.
This time, in addition to teaching Kuina, he also had other tasks to do, including formulating a plan for the Goa Kingdom.
The garbage mountain, Sabo, and the Celestial Dragons. These three points are closely linked and are all places that need to be prepared.
Sabo had to be saved before he got hurt. He had a correct sense of right and wrong since childhood and betrayed his own class. To some extent, he is worthy of respect. There is an unequal relationship between oppression and oppression between different classes, but he was born in an oppressive class, but he betrayed his class and worked for the oppressed. This is beyond of people in the ocean.
In this regard, several high-ranking officials in the Revolutionary Army are like this. Long betrayed his own naval family class. Kuma and Ivankov are all like this. So Sabo is naturally more in line with the Revolutionary Army's position.
In the original novel, Long was also shocked that such a young child could say such words and predict that the country was really hopeless. At that time, Long was powerless to save the country, but now the revolutionary army is strong enough to intervene.
There is no need to overthrow it directly. It is particularly important to save the people in the terminal of uncertainty first. Any inhumane behavior must be stopped within the scope of one's ability.
As for Sabo, although he had seen through the hypocrisy of the noble family at a young age and acted according to his own will, he was still quite impulsive and still needed to be educated. Noah planned to give him a lesson when he had time to let him know what it meant to truly see through the essence of the nobility.
He has recently been thinking about taking Kuina to travel around the East Sea, cleaning up some pirates and so on, so that his apprentice can see blood. When Garp leaves the East Sea, they will go to the Goa Kingdom together to make up for some of her shortcomings. It would also be good to act together with Sabo, so that they can establish a deep revolutionary friendship from an early age. The intricate environment in the uncertain terminal, the sinister nature of human beings, and the kindness of human nature are all things that Kuina lacks to understand.
As for the Celestial Dragons, Noah planned to act alone at that time. Whether to kill the Celestial Dragons by force would depend on the situation. If conditions permit, a Celestial Dragon is still worth killing.
When I came to the back mountain, I saw Kuina sparring with Zoro. After just a few moves, Zoro was knocked away.
"Damn it, why am I losing faster and faster!"
Zoro was very unhappy. Although he had lost before, he would persist longer each time. From one sword style to two sword style, and then to three sword style, he kept chasing after the back of the girl in front of him.
Until one day, Kuina was accepted as a disciple by a man. That man was very strong and terrifying. He was a peerless strong man who could cut through the sky with a sword.
Although he was shocked, he was not afraid. He believed that he could do the same thing one day. Before defeating the world's number one swordsman and Kuina's master, defeating Kuina first was the goal he set for himself, but this goal became increasingly distant.
Getting up from the ground, Zoro said the classic quote for the thousandth time, something like "Kuina, I will definitely win", then turned around and ran away.
"Haha, young man, the road is narrow."
"Master, what do you mean by the road is narrow?"
Seeing the master coming over, Kuina was a little curious about the meaning of the previous sentence.
"Nothing. I took a look at your swordsmanship. It's not bad, but you don't have the aura of killing. You should prepare yourself. We will travel around the East China Sea in the next few days, and then find a suitable place to make up for some of your shortcomings. I will also talk to Master Koshiro about this matter later."
"Yes, master."
Kuina was excited. Going out to sea with a sword was the dream of many children in the gym. Fighting violence and protecting the good at sea, saving people from danger, that's what the storybooks all say. Although the separation came so quickly and she was a little reluctant, who would be content with the status quo if they were willing to practice kendo?
In the evening, Noah went to talk to Koshiro about this matter in person. Koshiro also agreed with this matter. He just said one sentence when Noah left, asking Noah to take good care of Kuina, and then left calmly. But his mood was written on his face, and his face was full of worry. It was really difficult for him.
The next day, Kuina packed her luggage and came to Noah excitedly. With the space, Noah and Robin basically didn't need to carry luggage separately when they went out, so they could travel light.
However, Noah held a small package in his hand at this time and handed it to Kuina, saying that this was a treasure passed down to you by your master. Back then, your master relied on this to survive several life-and-death crises. It can be used in battle to turn the tide of the battle.
Kuina happily accepted it, thinking that the combat treasure given by her master must be extraordinary. When she was about to open it, she was stopped by Noah, who said it would not be too late to look at it on the ship. Kuina obediently put away the treasure, and the three of them reached the dock and boarded the Voyager.
Robin went to check the condition of the ship, while Kuina couldn't wait to open the treasure given by her master. After opening it, she found packets of white powder?
"Master... could this be...?"
"It's lime."
Chapter 134 The Devil of the East Sea
"Kuina~~, Kuina~~."
This voice is Zoro!
"Zoro! Here."
"Okay, here I come!"
Then Zoro went astray.
He sighed. This world dominated by the sea was very friendly to Sauron, because no matter which way he went, he would be on the island. If it was the mainland, he would really be gone.
Robin decisively used the Flower-Flower Fruit to throw the green algae head over, which saved a lot of time.
"Kuina, you're just leaving like this?"
"Yes, I am about to officially embark on my journey of swordsmanship. Zoro, the next time I see you, you must become very strong, otherwise you will not be qualified to challenge me."
"Humph! I will definitely surpass you."
"Stop bragging, you're almost approaching 2000 defeats."
Robin was standing next to them, smiling as he fancied the pairing of the boy and girl. It was so interesting.
"Wait for me. I will make my name resound throughout the sea. Then I will stand in front of you and defeat you!"
Looking at the stubborn green algae head, the girl thought about it.
"it is good!"
"Then don't die before I stand in front of you."
Young Zoro made his own oath, but that will happen many years later. Should Kuina come back regularly to attack Zoro and visit her old father at the same time? Noah felt that he was a really kind person.
Finally, the three of them left Shimotsuki Village by boat, and it was not certain when they would return next time.
Looking at Shimotsuki Village slowly disappearing before her eyes, Kuina felt a little sad. Leaving her familiar hometown and familiar people, embarking on an unknown road, she felt insecure.
Robin came over at this time. She felt that she had to cheer up the little girl in her own way. This was Noah's personal disciple, so she had to take good care of her.
"Kuina, let me show you around the Voyager. You'll be on this ship for quite a while."
"Okay." She was indeed very curious about her master's ship, so she followed Robin to visit it.
"This travel boat was custom-made by Tom Shipbuilding Company in the Seven Waters. The shipbuilder is a great man who built ships for the Pirate King. The material of this boat is also the trunk of the treasure tree Adam. So don't be fooled by its small size, but the technology level and comfort are very good.
Look, this is the captain's room. The operation is very intelligent. You will also learn these basic operations later. And this is the study room. Many books in it are collected recently. They are very interesting. You should come and see them more if you have the chance. "
Looking at the slowly moving bookshelf, Kuina agreed on the surface, but in fact she made it clear in her heart that she would never come to this room even if she died. Humph, I am the future great swordsman Kuina Shimotsuki.
Robin took her to continue the tour.
"This is your bedroom. You can just put your luggage here and then you can slowly pack it up at night."
He took Kuina through the storage room, the equipment room, and the power room, and finally stopped at the door of a room.
This room looked very strange to Kuina, because only the windows of this room were sealed with iron bars. It was so strange, was it used to store dangerous goods or valuables? But for some reason, she could always feel an ominous atmosphere coming from this door.
With a creak, the door slowly opened. There was nothing scary inside, just some tables and chairs, and a blackboard hanging on the wall. There were some scratches on the floor and the tables and chairs, as if they were caused by a human body being dragged.
This looks like an ordinary classroom! Why is there an ominous atmosphere... a classroom?
Behind me, a terrifying voice seemed to come from the hell called learning.
"Kuina, come in. How about we review the lessons from the past few days and then take a small test?"
Her body stood frozen in place, as if the classroom before her was more terrifying than a sea of fire and mountains of swords, because even if it was a sea of fire and mountains of swords, she would still dare to charge in.
"Teacher Robin, I have never taken the book..."
One after another, little hands took all the books and test papers and placed them on the podium and desks. They also turned the book to the chapter that needed to be reviewed. It was so natural and smooth, as if this scene had happened in this classroom before.
Time passed by inadvertently. After being tempered in the learning hell, Kuina was no longer afraid of anything. In her opinion, it was a great deal to take half a day of cultural classes every day in exchange for the opportunity to practice kendo with the great swordsman.
After lunch, the female swordsman excitedly walked towards Noah, ready to receive formal combat instructions.
"First, when you scatter the lime powder, don't scatter it all over the place, as that will have a poor effect. You need to learn how to use your strength skillfully. You can swing your sword to make the powder splash in the direction of the force.
Secondly, the action should be concealed as much as possible when starting, and pay attention to the coordination of eyes. Once the action is taken, the subsequent moves must be fast. The pirates or bad guys on the sea are very alert to such things.
Finally, besides lime powder, there are other things you can use if you want. For fruit ability users, seastone powder is also very effective~"
What is all this... After opening the door to the hell of learning, the female swordsman tremblingly opened the door to a new world of kendo.
A confused and helpless expression appeared on her face. The great swordsman who split the sky with one sword, is just like this... ?
After realizing that Noah was not joking, Kuina had no choice but to accept the reality and helplessly followed her master's teachings. It was true that two swordsmen were completely different.
Someone like Koshiro would definitely not tell Kuina about the splashing effect of lime powder. If you ask Hawkeye about this, the effect of seastone powder on the defense of Devil Fruit users would definitely be rewarded with a flat attack.
But Kuina's master is Noah, a very pragmatic person. Not only did he use lime powder when he debuted in the East Sea, but he also sprinkled an upgraded version of seastone powder when fighting Sakaski in Marijoa. Compared with ordinary sea masters, there are indeed reasons why his reputation is not good.
There was no arrogance of a strong man. Old-school pirates like Whitebeard would definitely look down on these methods. There were quite a lot of things that Noah classified as fighting skills, in bits and pieces, and he also took out some battle cases from his debut to analyze, which really opened the eyes of the young swordsman.
"Then Master, do I need to disguise myself as well? It's just like putting on a vest, right?"
"It is necessary. Our enemy is the world government, an opponent whose bottom line is beyond imagination. Wearing a vest can protect family and friends."
Oh! Got it! Kuina remembered some of the jokes and stories her master had told her, and chose a target.
Chapter 135 Epiphany in Crisis
On an ordinary island in the East China Sea, a girl walked among the crowd holding an ordinary long knife. Her red pupils, long black hair, and black windbreaker set her apart from the surrounding islanders with a unique temperament.
It was Kuina, whose alias was Akame. Of course, the sword in her hand was not the demon sword Muramasa, but an ordinary refined knife.
The reason why she came here was naturally because of her master's request. She could hunt a pirate with a bounty of no less than 100 million berries. Don't underestimate this number. Those who can be on the Navy's wanted list are all guys with certain strength. No matter how low the bounty is, it is an opponent that cannot be underestimated for Kuina, who is just embarking on the road of kendo.
Think about the great God Buggy, who started out as a pirate leader in the East China Sea with only 15 million berries, and fought his way to madness, from the East China Sea to the Undersea Prison, and from the Undersea Prison to the Navy Headquarters, and finally became one of the Four Emperors, shoulder to shoulder with his good friend Shanks.
There is also Tony Tony Chopper, who started from a lower level. Chopper is even more inspiring, and he fought hard from a value of 50 Beli to, uh, 100 Beli. He also fought with Luffy all the way, and his opponents ranged from the God of Sky Island to the former Four Emperors BIGMOM.
Therefore, the bounty offered by the World Government is really only for reference.
Kuina's target this time was selected by herself. A pirate named Rosago who changed his job and became a small leader of a slave-hunting group. He was also a legendary figure, according to the intelligence.
Rosago was a veteran pirate who committed many crimes, so the East China Sea Navy Branch offered him a reward of 150 million berries. The most amazing thing is that he had been in 7 pirate groups in the East China Sea, but all of them were destroyed for various reasons, and he was the only one who survived.
I really don't know whether it is good luck or bad luck. The pirate tattoos of the previous seven pirate groups have left him with almost no space to tattoo the logo of the next pirate group. This bizarre experience has led to no pirate group willing to accept him. People who are in the sea are more or less superstitious.
When he was originally planning to join the popular Buggy Pirates in the East China Sea, the leader of a slave ship found him and asked him if he wanted to do this job. He said that if the money was enough, he would do anything, so he boarded the ship decisively.
Ever since he left the pirate business, it seems that his luck has improved. After transporting this batch of goods, he can have a good rest for a while. The captain will give him a large bonus.
In the evening, Rosago was in a good mood and came to the tavern with two of his talkative brothers, intending to relax quietly. Originally, he was not allowed to relax when transporting goods, but this was not the first time that Rosago did this, he was an old bird.
At this time, in a corner outside the tavern, a pair of dark red eyes were staring at the target entering the tavern. Kuina had been following the target for a while. In her opinion, the target's vigilance was very poor. He might have some strength, but if he was caught off guard, he could try to kill him with one strike.
The time is chosen after the target has finished drinking and left the tavern. At that time, the opponent's strength will be further weakened by alcohol, and it will be more certain. This is one of the master's teachings. You must learn to actively weaken the enemy's strength, or wait for the enemy to weaken its own combat power.
Thinking about the battle that is about to begin, where it will be a life-and-death fight for the first time, it is too cruel. Is this the real sea?
I touched the pocket of my windbreaker nervously, and inside was the secret gemstone ash powder of Noah's disciples. I didn't expect that this secret weapon could still provide a little courage at this time. I wonder if the master would also be very nervous at this time.
No, you can't let your thoughts wander, you have to concentrate at this time. Although the target has entered the tavern, it is impossible for him to come out without some time, but Noah specifically said that everything is possible.
I continued to wait silently. The alley was quiet, with only the sound of the wind.
Suddenly, a chill ran through her heart, and her instinct made her roll forward to avoid the attack. From the corner of her eye, she saw a sword reflecting the moonlight passing over her head.
This is... Rosago! How could it be!
“Hehehehe, why am I here? Why not in the tavern? Come on, you were so obviously following me, it would be hard for me not to notice. I just didn’t expect the one following me was a little girl. Who sent you? Michela? Or Hashimoto? No, neither is possible.”
He glanced at Kuina with lustful eyes.
Kuina was very upset at this time. She had failed in her first hunt and was even caught by the enemy from behind. It was such a failure.
"Those two guys are reluctant to send out such good stuff for this. No matter what, please don't resist. If you get hurt, you'll be worthless!"
That's what he said, but Rosago didn't do it that way. Without any warning, he raised his hand and slashed at him. There was no pattern, only brutal murderous intent, and the blade went straight to his head.
He pretended to take down Kuina without any injury so as to make his opponent relax, but he actually used a killing move to kill the opponent. His skillful technique killed many people.
Fortunately, Kuina had a solid foundation in swordsmanship and instinctively drew her sword to block the attack, otherwise she would have died.
So heavy! This guy's strength is not right, is he really only 150 million Baileys? You can't fight him head-on, you have to use your body shape and agility to fight him in close combat.
After making up his mind, he used his other hand to push against the back of the knife to block the blow first, then used the steps of Shimotsuki Kendo to get closer and stab with the sword.
But Rosago had already expected this, and he chopped down on her head again without any hesitation. Kuina could only dodge, and was forced to retreat.
