Sigo kept his eyes on the direction of the main hall while collecting the loot.
He was waiting for Koshiro to appear.
However, Sigo was disappointed. After a while, Zoro was panting and could not even stand properly, but Koshiro still did not appear.
Not only Koshiro, but Guina also did not appear.
"No … This is not fair. You must have learned some kind of footwork!" Zoro tried his best not to fall, but it was impossible for him to attack again in a short time.
He had reached his limit, and it was only his willpower that kept him standing.
"You bastard, when I learn swordsmanship from my master, I can cut you in half!" Zoro gritted his teeth and said.
Luffy grinned and tried to imitate Zoro's memory, "You mean I'm bullying you because of my footwork?"
Xi Ge was slightly taken aback. For some reason, he felt that this scene was very familiar.
"Isn't it? You boys only know how to dodge with your footwork. If you have the guts, let's have a competition of strength after I rest! "Zoro did not back down.
It was becoming more and more familiar. Not only the setting, even the dialogue seemed to have been heard somewhere before.
Luffy raised his finger and pointed at Zoro, "If that's the case, when you learn swordsmanship, you have to wait until I'm the same age as you. That's only fair."
Luffy was stunned and turned to Nami, "Nami, can you help me calculate that I'll be the same age as him in a few years?"
Nami facepalmed, "Idiot, you'll never be the same age as him."
The wooden sword in Zoro's hand fell to the ground. He looked at Luffy in a daze. He already knew what Luffy was trying to say.
Luffy did not care about that. He recalled and said, "The weak will always be the weak. They only know how to find excuses for their weakness."
Sigo smiled bitterly. He finally knew why this felt so familiar.
Wasn't this the same scene when he beat up Luffy in Fengche Village? He didn't expect this kid to learn from him and teach Zoro a lesson the same way he taught Luffy.
"Captain, where did Luffy learn to lie? I feel like he's a little trickster. Hahahaha!" Tom laughed, but his voice became softer and softer. In the end, it was as soft as a mosquito.
Because Xi Ge was looking at him with a dangerous gaze. "You learned it from me. Why, do you have any objections?"
Tom hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head frantically.
He did not want to compete with Luffy for the title of "human sandbag".
Luffy, as if he still wanted to continue, turned to face a tree in the dojo.
"Rubber: Pistol!"
He punches the tree as thick as Nami's waist.
.. kk!
The dojo was silent!
Then, the crowd.
"His arm is actually elongating. Is he even human?!"
"That's … That's the power of the devil's fruit. He's a devil fruit user!"
"Shouldn't you be more concerned about his strength? That boy is at most ten years old, but his strength is terrifying. He broke a tree with a single punch! "
…
Zoro looked at the scene in front of him with his mouth wide open.
. Plop!
Zoro's last bit of strength was exhausted, and he fell to the ground.
He had lost to Guina so many times, but he never felt defeated. He always comforted himself that Guina was two years older than him.
But now, this boy was even younger than him.
He comforted himself that he had learned how to move, but he had not yet learned how to use a sword, or that he had a devil fruit, but he did not.
But even if all these were disregarded, how could he possibly be a match for the other party with such terrifying strength?
"A weakling will always be a weakling. He will only find excuses for his weakness … So that's how it is …" Zoro repeated Luffy's words in a low voice. "I always find excuses for myself, so I keep losing."
Every time he lost to Guina, he would always find an excuse in his heart instead of trying his best to win this battle.
There was always a next time, but what about a fight to the death?
If he lost, he would die!
"Well said!"
Right at this moment, an aged voice suddenly sounded.
The voice was soft, but it rang in everyone's ears.
The next moment, an old man with a crooked back appeared in front of Zoro.
The old man looked ordinary, but his presence made Sigo's hair stand on end.
He did not see how the old man appeared. It was as if he had always been there.
The old man looked down at Zoro, who was lying on the ground. "As this boy said, those who find excuses for their failure are always weak. When you fight, you must not have any distracting thoughts. Only when you give up everything can you unleash your true strength. "
After saying that, the old man slowly turned around and looked at Xi Ge.
"Is this boy your disciple? How amazing! He's so strong at such a young age."
"And it's not the result of training that consumes talent and potential."
It wasn't that he hadn't seen children of this age who were even stronger, it was just that the strength of those little fellows was obtained through cruel training.
That kind of training might allow one to surpass their peers in the early stages, but it would ultimately damage their potential, and they wouldn't be able to go far.
However, Luffy was different. Zoro could see that Luffy's strength was completely within the limits of his body.
The shock in the depths of Xi Ge's eyes had not completely disappeared. He seemed to know who the other party was.
When he was young, an old man in Moonfrost Village taught him a slogan: "Sacrifice your name."
The explanation was very simple. The so-called sacrifice of one's name was to not care about one's body. To sacrifice one's mind was to empty one's mind. Even if one was going to die, one would still go forward.
Coupled with the scene in front of him and what the old man had just said to Zoro, everything was clear.
The only thing that was not known was whether the old man was the legendary Kozaburo or someone else.
After all, when Kozaburo escaped from the Country of Peace more than forty years ago, it was impossible for him to be alone. There were definitely other warriors of the Moonfrost Village.
"He's just my worst disciple." Although Xi Ge was wary of the other party, he still had to act tough. He couldn't back down.
What's more, he was not completely showing off.
Hearing Sigo's words, even the mysterious and powerful old man was stunned. He looked at Luffy subconsciously.
What shocked him even more was that Luffy seemed to take it for granted. It was clear that he agreed with Sigo's words.
Aise didn't need to be said. Even before he got the Flame-Flame Fruit, Luffy was not his opponent.
As for Saab, it was hard to say who was strong and who was weak now, but Luffy always thought that he was not as good as his two brothers.
Looking at the shock on the old man's face, Sigo felt comfortable all over.
"Your Excellency, you're really hidden!" The old man couldn't help but admire.
Sigo glanced in the direction of the main hall. Kozaburo still didn't appear.
"Your Excellency, are you looking for Kozaburo this time?" The old man was keenly aware of Sigo's intention: "If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to come here in vain. Kozaburo went to sea and I'm afraid he won't be back in a short time."
Going to sea?
Sigo was stunned. This plot was not right.
Calculating the time, Gu Yuena should be about to die.
And Kozaburo went to sea at this time … Wait! Did he take Gu Yuena to sea together?
