Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 34

Ron leaned against the railing, looking up at the starry sky above him.

"Only five days? I thought it had been a long time. I hope Father and Zoro are alright."

Kuina gazed at the distant sea, feeling a pang of longing for the dojo.

She turned to look at Ron and asked:

"Ron, where is your hometown?"

"I do not know either."

Ron gazed at the starry sky above, stretched out his hand, and whispered, "Perhaps it's somewhere as far away as a star."

Kuina stared at his profile for a long time.

As Ron turned his head away, he immediately looked away and changed the subject:

"By the way, that slash you unleashed today... did it reach the realm of intent?"

Ron shook his head: "No."

"It looks like you've reached the realm of enlightenment, but you haven't. It's just the effect of combining swordsmanship with breathing techniques."

Can breathing techniques be used in conjunction with swordsmanship?

Guina was somewhat surprised; she had also learned some basic breathing techniques from Ron.

Hearing her words, Ron was even more taken aback: "Didn't I tell you?"

Guina's cheeks puffed out.

After thinking for a moment, Ron smiled sheepishly at her:

"It seems I really forgot to tell you."

……

Two days later.

The ship arrived at an island.

As Ron disembarked with Kuina, he spotted several familiar figures.

The revolutionary leader, Long, draped in a black robe.

Bartholomew Bear is extremely tall.

"they are?"

Long Chao Ron and Guina cast glances their way.

Under that gaze, Ron instantly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Very strong!

He's hundreds of times stronger than he is now!

Ron instantly judged the difference in strength between the two.

"It's Koushirou's apprentice and daughter; he asked..."

Ivankov and the dragon explained the whole story.

Long nodded: "I see, I understand."

He looked at Ron and Kuina and said, "We have also received a lot of help from Koushirou, but this island is a bit dangerous now. If you would like, you can come with our ship to the next island."

"Danger?"

Ivankov was taken aback, then realized what was happening and looked at the dragon with a serious expression, asking, "Has the Kingdom of Goa decided what to do?"

Long nodded: "They decided to burn down the entire slum."

"what?!"

The revolutionary army members behind Ivankov were all shocked, and then their faces showed anger.

"Those nobles!"

A young revolutionary soldier dressed in a black robe clenched his fists, his teeth clenched in hatred.

"We can no longer change this country, but at least we can save more lives. That's our goal this time."

"It's a deep voice," Long said.

Kuina, holding the Wado Ichimonji, sensed the change in atmosphere, leaned closer to Ron, and asked softly:

"Something terrible seems to be happening on this island. Should we disembark here?"

Ron didn't speak; he stroked his chin, deep in thought.

If he remembered correctly.

The fire in the slums of the Goa Kingdom happened when Luffy, Ace, and Sabo were children. It was also the cause of Sabo's eventual despair of the nobility, his departure from home to sail the seas, and his eventual near-death experience at the hands of the Celestial Dragons.

The Kingdom of Goa is now fraught with danger.

Taking Kuina along might be risky.

While he was thinking.

Dragon and Bartholomew Kuma, along with other revolutionary cadres, also learned from Ivankov and Khaku about the unusual nature of this 10-year-old boy with black hair and a sword on his back.

Many eyes turned to him with curiosity.

"That sword... could it be the famous sword passed down through the Shimotsuki family of Wano Country, the Wado Ichimonji, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords?"

A middle-aged swordsman in a black robe in the revolutionary army looked at the Wado Ichimonji in Kuina's hand in surprise.

"This sword is a treasure worth at least ten million Berries. Koushirou actually let his daughter take this sword with her to sea. Isn't he afraid of losing it?"

"The Twenty-One Great Swords?"

A companion beside him looked surprised upon hearing this, then pointed to the Raiche on Ron's back and asked, "Then, what about the one that boy has on his back?"

The swordsman stared intently, but couldn't discern anything special from the hilt alone. He shifted his position slightly, circling behind Ron. When he clearly saw the white scabbard wrapped in golden lightning patterns, he gasped and his pupils contracted sharply.

"How can it be?!"

Everyone was startled by his voice and turned to look at him.

"Korf, what's wrong?"

The dragon asked.

"No, it's nothing. I was just a little too surprised to see the knife on the boy's back."

Kolf quickly replied.

"Knife?"

Ivankov, Haku, and the others looked at the knife on Ron's back.

"What's so strange about that knife?"

26. On the eve of the great fire in the Kingdom of Goa, I encountered Sabo by chance (6/5)

"If I'm not mistaken."

Kolf's eyes burned as he gazed intently at Rachel on Ron's back:

"That sword should be the Raikiri, one of the twenty-one Great Swords that disappeared from the world hundreds of years ago, a famous sword known for its ability to cut through lightning!"

The revolutionary soldiers were all taken aback.

Even the dragon and Bartholomew Kuma glanced at the knife on Ron's back a couple more times.

"I never expected this knife to reappear."

Kolf couldn't help but rub his hands together, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Ivankov stepped forward, standing behind Ron and blocking his view, and bowed to him, saying, "Korf, don't you dare try to get your hands on Ron's boy knife."

"I wouldn't even think about it! I just want to take a few more glances! This is a famous sword that has been lost for hundreds of years. A famous sword is like a peerless beauty to a swordsman. How could I possibly resist looking at it?"

"Korf said urgently."

"Ron."

Guina tugged at Larron's sleeve. "Why don't we just disembark here?"

Ron snapped out of his thoughts, and after hearing her words, he was taken aback at first, then nodded: "Alright then, let's disembark here."

He turned to look at Long, Ivankov, and the others and said, "We've decided to disembark here."

“Ron boy…”

"Since you've made up your minds, we won't try to stop you."

Dragon looked at Ron and said, "It's best to be careful on this island."

Ron nodded.

Just as he and Kuina were disembarking from the ship and about to leave, a bear dressed in a black robe walked up to them.

Looking at the enormous bear in front of her, Kuina couldn't help but lean closer to Ron.
