Voyage: From the Flame-Flame Fruit to Everything Reducing to Ashes Chapter 003

Since Shimotsuki Village is just an ordinary village, the merchant ships passing through Lid Town do not go directly there.

It took Ximu seven days and several changes of ships to reach his destination.

This also made him more interested in navigation and read more diligently.

If he knew how to sail, he could sail the boat by himself, so he wouldn’t have to take a detour.

Walking into Shimotsuki Village, Ximu quickly found the Isshin Dojo, explained his purpose, paid the tuition, and successfully joined the dojo.

He also saw Zoro with green hair in the dojo. It is worth mentioning that Kuina was not dead at this time.

However, since Zoro had come to the dojo, it meant that the time when she accidentally fell to her death was not far away.

After studying in the dojo for more than half a month, Ximu finally got started with swordsmanship.

[Host: Xi Mu]

[Age: 20 years old]

[Physique: Primary]

[Flying Stone (D): Perfect (MAX)]

[Swimming (E): Perfect (MAX)]

[Dragon Slashing Swordsmanship (S): Entry Level (1/100)]

[Quests to be completed: None]

[Item: Longboat]

“It’s actually an S-level skill!” Xi Mu was surprised.

Dragon Slashing?

Could it be that this is the swordsmanship of the sword god Shimotsuki Ryoma of Wano Country!

Xi Mu was not making a baseless guess.

Koshiro was originally from the Shimotsuki family of Wano Country, so it was not surprising that he inherited the swordsmanship of his ancestor Ryoma.

Plus, the name of this sword technique is ‘Dragon Slashing’, and Long Ma was also called the Dragon Slashing Warrior during his lifetime, and this sword technique has reached an S rating in the system, so it is very likely Long Ma’s sword technique.

“Fortunately I came here!” Xi Mu smiled.

This is an S-level skill!

Next, I will focus on this sword technique!

…

Twenty days later.

The back mountain of Yixin Dojo.

At this time, Xi Mu was practicing the Dragon Slashing Sword Technique with a knife, his body turned and moved, and the sharp blade flew!

The knife in his hand was the long ship of the good knife rewarded by the system after completing ‘Set Sail’.

The scabbard and handle of this knife are orange-red, and the blade is covered with blue patterns. The edge of the blade is extremely sharp, and it can cut hair with a blow!

Since he got started with sword technique, Xi Mu has not gone to the dojo to learn it again, because there is no need for it.

As long as the skills are recorded by the system, even if you have only learned the basics, or even if the skills themselves are incomplete, you can still grind.

As the experience points increase, the system will automatically fill them in.

So, he only needs to keep practicing, and the Dragon Slaying Swordsmanship will continue to improve.

And Xi Mu suspects that the Dragon Slaying Swordsmanship that Koshiro learned may not be complete.

After all, Shimotsuki Ryoma has been dead for hundreds of years.

Such a powerful swordsmanship, even if it is taught by the person himself, it is difficult for the apprentice to fully comprehend it, not to mention that it is only passed down from generation to generation.

But relying on the system, Ximu can learn the most complete Dragon Slaying Sword Technique!

When he has mastered the Dragon Slaying Sword Technique to perfection, even if Longma is resurrected, Ximu dares to say to him: I learned the male one, and you learned the female one.

"The sword is good, but the swordsmanship is average."

A voice suddenly came into Ximu’s ears.

But Ximu still practiced swordsmanship with a calm face. He had already noticed someone approaching.

Not far away, Kuina was standing there with a bamboo sword on her waist. Her young and pretty face was full of indifference at the moment.

As the "big sister" of Yixin Dojo, she manages many things in the dojo.

So when she heard that a student said that she saw Ximu in the back mountain, she came over.

"Why haven’t you been to the dojo recently?" Kuina asked. Seeing Ximu training hard, her expression eased a lot.

"It’s no longer necessary." Ximu replied casually while practicing swordsmanship.

"What do you mean?" Kuina’s face showed anger, "Do you look down on Isshin Dojo?!"

"I mean, I’ve learned it, so there’s no need to go anymore." Ximu said again, still practicing swordsmanship.

"What an arrogant guy."

Kuina was amused by Ximu’s words, but it was just a sneer.

A guy who has only learned swordsmanship for more than a month dares to say that he has learned it. It’s ridiculous!

She has been exposed to kendo under the guidance of her father since she was five years old, and she has only just started now.

The more she learns, the more she can feel the power of her father and the depth of kendo.

The movements that Xi Mu practiced looked very graceful, but in Kuina’s eyes, they were just for show.

But she didn’t know that her father, Koshiro, was also hiding behind a big tree and watching Xi Mu’s movements, but his face was full of shock.

In fact, when Xi Mu came to the dojo, Koshiro had doubts about Xi Mu’s intentions.

Because his sword dojo was not famous, it had only recruited students from several villages on the island, and they were all children.

And Xi Mu, an adult, would come from other places to learn swordsmanship, which was really weird.

In addition, Koshiro joined the Revolutionary Army not long ago, so he was even more suspicious of Xi Mu’s identity, worried that he was an agent of the World Government.

Therefore, when he was in the dojo, he paid attention to Xi Mu’s actions.

Who knew that Xi Mu only studied in the dojo for half a month and didn’t come anymore.

This made Koshiro even more suspicious. Could it be that he had been found out about something?

So, he chose to follow Ximu.

Today was not the first time he had come to spy on Ximu’s training.

If Ximu was really an agent sent by the World Government, it meant that his identity was likely exposed, so he had to prepare early.

But as he watched Ximu’s daily training, Koshiro soon realized that his target was Ximu.

Because he found that he was overthinking, Xi Mu was indeed here to learn swordsmanship.

Moreover, he was a genius in swordsmanship!

Perhaps genius is not enough to describe his talent!

At least Koshiro has never seen someone with such a terrifying talent!

Even Zoro, who he valued very much in his heart, was far inferior.

"In such a short time, swordsmanship can be improved to such a level!" Koshiro was shocked.

Xi Mu’s swordsmanship is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Guina’s swordsmanship is still relatively low, so she can’t see the exquisiteness of Xi Mu’s sword moves.

And Koshiro can see that every move Xi Mu showed did not deviate from his family’s swordsmanship.

You know, he didn’t teach these to Xi Mu.

In other words, they were all realized by himself!

……

Kuina saw that Xi Mu was still practicing selflessly, as if she didn’t exist, and her pretty face suddenly flushed.

She suddenly drew out her bamboo sword and gritted her teeth and shouted: "Unforgivable! Since you look down on the dojo so much, then duel with me!"

In her heart, her father Koshiro has always been the goal of her efforts. She hopes that one day she can get her father’s recognition and inherit the dojo.

Isshin Dojo has a very important position in her heart.

To look down on the dojo is to look down on her father!

Absolutely unforgivable!

She will teach this arrogant guy a lesson!
