Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral Gion’s Office “Knock, knock–”

There was a light knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Gion’s voice was cold and indifferent, yet majestic.

The door slowly opened, and Roy walked in with Kuina and Zoro, smiling.

When he opened the door, Gion was sitting at his desk reviewing documents. He looked up and saw the three people, and raised his eyebrows slightly: “Roy? It’s rare to see you have time to come to see me, what’s wrong?”

Roy pushed Kuina forward with a playful smile: “Come on, Sister Gion, help me take care of this girl. She needs a real instructor in swordsmanship.”

Gion’s gaze fell on Kuina, and his sight finally stopped at the Wado Ichimonji on her waist. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded.

“Are you Kuina? I heard you did very well in the training camp.”

Kuina straightened her back, her eyes determined: “Yes! Vice Admiral Gion! I want to become stronger!”

Gion gently closed the document in his hand, walked slowly to her, and lowered his eyes slightly: “Why do you want to become stronger?”

Kuina barely thought about it and blurted out, “To become the world’s number one swordsman!”

At this moment, a rare trace of admiration flashed in Gion’s eyes.

“Very good.” She nodded, her tone decisive, “From today on, you will practice with me.”

“Thank you, Vice Admiral Gion!” Kuina bowed immediately, her eyes full of passion and respect.

Roy grinned and blinked beside him: “Thank you, Sister Gion~”

Gion rolled his eyes at him but said nothing.

After leaving the Gion office, Zoro crossed his arms with a look of dissatisfaction: “Hey, Roy, why don’t you let her teach me too? I can feel that she is a very strong swordsman!”

Roy ruffled his green hair and said with a sly smile, “Why are you in such a hurry? I have arranged a more ruthless teacher for you.”

Zoro’s eyes lit up: “Who?”

Roy smiled mysteriously: “Follow me.”

In the office of Admiral Kizaru at the Navy Headquarters, Kizaru was leaning comfortably on the sofa with his legs crossed, sipping black tea, flipping through a magazine with “Leisure Fishing Guide” on the cover, and humming a tune.

“Dongdong~”

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Kizaru said slowly: “Come in~”

The door was pushed open, and Roy walked in with Zoro, who looked expectant.

Kizaru raised his head, glanced lazily, and showed his signature nonchalant smile: “Hey~ Isn’t this the most trouble-making vice admiral in the New World~ You are not fighting Kaido outside today, and you came to me to ask for a cup of black tea?”

Roy came forward with a smile: “Uncle, I want to trouble you~”

Hearing this, Kizaru immediately waved his hand: “Well~ You know, I hate trouble the most~”

“Swish!”

Roy didn’t waste any time and flicked his fingertips. A bowl of steaming Beihai miso char siu ramen appeared steadily on the table, exuding fragrance.

Kizaru raised his eyebrows and was about to speak——

“Swish!”

Another bunch of the recently popular golden, honey-glowing tropical bananas appeared next to the ramen.

Kizaru stared at the specialty on the table, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly: “Kawa~ You really make it difficult for me~”

Roy smiled softly, and with one final snap of his fingers –

“Swish!”

A piece of paper fell steadily next to the teacup, with a few words written in delicate handwriting on it: [Help with three missions].

With a shove, Kizaru stood up instantly, smiling brightly: “Well, well, well, they are all small things. I like to teach newcomers the most~”

Zoro watched on in amazement.

“This… this is the legendary Admiral Kizaru, one of the Navy’s top fighters?!”

Kizaru picked up the miso ramen casually, took a bite, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: “Hmm~ It really tastes like the North Sea.”

Naval Headquarters Training Ground In the evening, the setting sun shines on the vast training ground of the Naval Headquarters.

Admiral Kizaru walked slowly to the center of the venue with his hands in his pockets.

He glanced at Zoro standing beside him and said lazily, “Hey~ Green-haired kid, what do you want to learn?”

Zoro has already taken a stance, with his two swords in hand and a blazing gaze.

“I want to become stronger! To become the world’s greatest swordsman!”

Kizaru scratched the back of his head and yawned.

“Well, you’ve got the wrong person. I’m not someone who makes a living solely on swordsmanship.”

Roy on the side laughed and interrupted: “Uncle, I know your ‘Sky Cloud Sword’~”

“Oh my~” Kizaru smiled lazily, “You’ve exposed my secret~”

He raised his hand, golden light condensed at his fingertips, and a long sword made of light slowly took shape in his palm.

The sword blade was as slender as a silk thread, and even before the sword energy moved, there were faint fluctuations in the air.

“Then I’ll be a little more serious~”

Kizaru’s eyes were lazy, but his aura suddenly changed and his feet moved!

Zoro’s pupils shrank, and his whole body tensed up——

“Swish!”

His figure turned into a golden light and disappeared in an instant. The next moment, the lightsaber was at Zoro’s throat.

“So fast!” Zoro was shocked, sweating profusely, and dared not move at all.

Kizaru chuckled and retracted his lightsaber: “Speed ​​is power~ Have you ever been cut by the speed of light, kid?”

Zoro gritted his teeth: “Do it again!!!”

“What a troublesome little devil.”

Kizaru sighed, his figure blurred again, but he accurately forced Zoro to retreat repeatedly and unable to parry. Each sword was like lightning across the sky!

“Don’t just pursue strength, your double sword movements are too straightforward~”

“If your physical skills and observation abilities are not improved, even the strongest swordsmanship will only result in poor swings~”

After being suppressed for dozens of moves, Zoro finally found an opportunity to lightly touch the lightsaber mark, and roared and counterattacked!

“I don’t want to defeat the you of today, I want to defeat the you of tomorrow!!”

Kizaru narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth: “Oh my~ So you don’t rely entirely on brute force.”

On the other side, at the Gion Kendo Field, Gion was wearing a kendo uniform with the Konpila lying quietly across his waist.

On the opposite side, Kuina was holding her breath, holding the Wado Ichimonji in her hand, and standing straight.

“Kendo is more than just swinging a sword.”

Gion spoke in a steady tone, his eyes sharp: “Mind, skills, body, each one must be honed to perfection.”

Kuina clenched the Wadō Ichimonji and nodded heavily: “Yes!”

“Your eyes are great, but you’re too rigid with the rules of the genre and your movements are too stiff!”

Before Gion finished speaking, the golden halberd in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath!

“Clang!!”

A sharp slash passed across Kuina’s cheek at a very slight angle, cutting off a few strands of hair.

Kuina didn’t dodge or blink, but instead held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands.

Gion nodded with satisfaction: “You are brave, but I will not hold back on any of your strikes from now on.”

Kuina took a stance, with the tip of her sword pointing forward, her eyes burning with fighting intent.

“Please give me some advice!!”

Jinpila danced, the sword light was like a crescent moon, her figure kept changing position in the venue, her steps were light and her sword moves were swift, leading Kuina to break through the limits inch by inch.

“Predict the location of my next strike. Don’t just look, but ‘feel’ it with your heart!”

Kuina gritted her teeth and persisted, making slight progress after each successful parry, sweat running down her hair, but she never retreated.

At dusk, the evening breeze blows through Roy Courtyard, and the aroma of barbecue fills the courtyard.

After the training, Zoro collapsed to the ground, soaked all over, his face tired but with fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

“That wretched old man… is simply ridiculously strong!”

Roy sat under the tree and laughed: “Don’t look at my uncle like this, he is a real admiral!”

Zoro panted and clenched his two swords: “Next time, I must touch him…even if it’s just one blow!”

Kuina changed into clean clothes and came over, wiping the sweat from her forehead: “Vice Admiral Gion is really scary. She can see through every one of my sword moves.”

“She is known as the ‘female swordsman who is closest to being a general.'” Roy added with a smile.

“I think I learned more than just swordsmanship from her…”

Kuina looked up at the darkening sky, “There is also that kind of true enlightenment.”

Roy smiled softly, teleported to the grill, and shouted while flipping the skewers: “Bellmaire, are you ready? The kids are starving!”

Bell-mère brought out a large plate full of delicious barbecued meat: “Alright, alright! Stop shouting, I’ve prepared double portions for you today!”

Nami and Nojiko also helped carry juice and bread, and Luffy excitedly ran around the field handing out skewers.

Kizaru also appeared in the corner at this time, biting a banana and walking slowly: “Well~ After training the little devil so hard, it’s not too much to come and have a barbecue~”

Amidst the sounds of laughter, the aroma of meat, and the lingering scent of sword power, the light of a new generation of navy is rising in the sunset.
