One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

I'll also give Master Koushirou a little shock and show off the famous swords I've acquired.

I'm sure Master Koushirou is also very interested in information about Wano Country.

It's a pity that the other party definitely won't join the Dragon Hunter Guild, otherwise Abel would have tried to persuade him to join no matter what.

Chapter 780 Unsolved Mystery

Shuangyue Village, inside the gym.

Koushirou was brewing tea to entertain an uninvited guest who had come to his door on his own initiative.

Who would have thought that Abel, one of the Four Emperors who should have been in the North Sea, would suddenly and quietly appear in the East Sea, and in such a small mountain village at that?!

Outside, Zoro and his many disciples stopped training and gathered at the door, peeking through the cracks to eavesdrop.

His face was full of excitement!

There's no way around it, he's one of the Four Emperors!

The emperor of the seas, the emperor of pirates.

In a small place like theirs, most people would never meet a big shot in their entire lives.

Or rather, the only way to see them is in the newspaper.

Today we finally get to see a real, living Yonko. Who can stay calm?

train?

Training my ass!

Get out of my way!

Before long, the little ones started arguing at the door over who got a spot, and it started to escalate into a full-blown fight.

This noisy scene even made the usually composed Koushirou twitch his facial muscles.

He could only put down the teapot, give Abel an apologetic look, then hurriedly get up and open the door.

"Ouch!"

Who pushed me?

"It hurts..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, the teacher is angry."

……

A group of tiny kids were jostling together, completely unprepared for the door to be suddenly opened, and ended up all tumbling over each other, with the person at the very bottom suffering the worst of all.

Then I looked again, and there was that touch of green...

Who else could it be but Zoro?

With his stern face, Koushirou was quite intimidating. Within seconds, they all knelt down, heads bowed, not daring to utter a word.

Of course, there are also those who are bold.

For example, one of the green algae-like figures kept glancing up at Abel, who was sitting inside drinking tea, with an eager look on his face.

This made Koushirou both angry and amused. He couldn't help but pick up the wooden sword beside him and lightly tap Zoro on the head.

"Ah! It hurts!"

"That's good, at least it feels pain."

Zoro rubbed his head a little embarrassedly.

"Guina, you lead them and triple today's training. No one is allowed to eat until they finish."

"what?!"

"Yes, father."

Amidst countless sighs, Kuina, who had grown considerably taller, stepped out from behind the crowd, exuding the aura of a big sister, and led away the disheveled Zoro and the others.

Guina is 14 years old this year. Not only has her body begun to develop, but she has also grown taller and has become a graceful young lady.

Because of his years of sword practice, he also possesses a heroic and dashing air about him.

Many boys around her age started stealing glances at her.

On the contrary, Kuina herself was dissatisfied with her gender and certain rapidly developing parts of her body.

In her words, "It's so heavy and full of flaws that I feel like I'm leaning forward every time I practice swordsmanship."

Even the usually carefree Zoro would occasionally blush at this change.

However, his desire to defeat Kuina, to become stronger, and to become the world's greatest swordsman has never wavered!

After chasing the group of monkeys away, Koushirou closed the door again, returned to his seat, and looked much more relaxed.

"My group of useless disciples have truly made a fool of themselves in front of you, young friend."

“Although they are learning kendo from me, most of them will probably never leave the East China Sea in their lifetime, so you must be the most powerful person they will ever meet. It is only natural that they would behave in such a way.”

"The tea is ready, please."

Although his disciples' performances were somewhat embarrassing, Koushirou still smiled and looked warm when he spoke of them.

He even went so far as to explain on behalf of his disciples, not wanting Abel to look down on them.

For a teacher, this is indeed a lot of painstaking effort.

"Who do I think I am? There are clearly powerful people right in front of us, they just don't know it."

Abel, of course, didn't have such thoughts. He simply drank his tea quietly, thinking that since Kuina hadn't died unexpectedly, perhaps a powerful female swordswoman would emerge on the high seas in the future.

So here's the question: what's the deal with Tashigi, who looks almost exactly like Kuina?

To call it a coincidence would be an absurd coincidence.

Not only do they look alike, but they're even the same age?

And they're all from the East China Sea?

They are both two years older than Zoro.

Could it be that Master Koushirou in front of us really has an illegitimate daughter or twin daughter who has been lost to the world?

Or maybe it's just the same person.

So, does Tashigi still exist?

I just can't figure it out.

"Young friend Abel, do you have some doubts in your heart?"

When Koushirou saw Abel staring straight at him, he felt for some reason that the boy seemed to be thinking about something very impolite.

Abel was initially hesitant to ask, but now that Koushirou had brought it up himself, he went along with it and asked, "I wonder if Master Koushirou only has one daughter?"

Koushirou frowned slightly, puzzled, but still replied, "Indeed, there is only one woman, Kuina."

He looked at Abel and thought to himself, "Could this kid have taken a fancy to my daughter?"

Although he thought the other person was a kendo prodigy, the world the other person lived in was too dangerous, and he didn't want his daughter to get involved in it.

In other respects, they are a good match, and their ages are also suitable...

Thinking about this, Koushirou suddenly chuckled to himself, realizing he had been overthinking things.

In his eyes, Kuina was a precious gem, possessing some talent in swordsmanship.

But the others are not good enough, let alone stunning beauties, so I suppose that's not what the other party meant.

unless……

It was to recruit him.

Just as Koushirou's expression began to look a little off, Abel's next words dispelled his concerns and successfully piqued his interest.

"Here's what happened. Some time ago, I met a female naval officer who looked extremely similar to Kuina. At first, I was quite surprised. I didn't know if it was Master Koushirou's idea or Kuina's own idea to become a naval officer."

"But after making inquiries, I discovered it was a misunderstanding. The girl's name is Tashigi, she's from the East Blue, and she's 14 years old..."

Abel made up a story and then focused on Koushirou's expression.

Koushirou also looked surprised, but there was no other sign of him being dazed or reminiscing.

"That's why I'm a little curious, wondering if Tashigi might be Kuina's twin sister."

Koushirou smiled and shook his head, "For a young friend to have such an idea, it seems that this little girl named Tashigi must indeed look very much like Kuina."

"But the truth is, I watched Kuina being born, and she doesn't have a twin sister."

"As for their similar appearance, the same age, and the fact that they all come from places like the East China Sea... I can only say that the world is a big place, and it is not impossible for such amazing coincidences to occur."

Abel nodded slightly after hearing this and did not mention the matter again.

Chapter 781 A Low-Key Show-Off

Since Koushirou had already said that he only had one daughter and no twins, Abel stopped asking.

Perhaps it really is just a coincidence.

Thinking about it carefully, weren't there many ordinary people in those impersonation shows in my past life who looked almost exactly like some celebrities?

A mere image doesn't prove anything.

The only coincidence is that their birthplace and age are the same, which makes it seem like a coincidence within a coincidence.

After enjoying some tea for a while, Koushirou finally asked Abel about the purpose of his visit.

"Back then, thanks to Master Koushirou's guidance, I learned about the profoundness of swordsmanship, as well as my own shortcomings and deficiencies."

"Over the years, I have never dared to put down my training. This time I have returned to the East Sea for two reasons: first, to seek justice and the truth for my hometown; and second, to spar with Master Koushirou again and test my skills. I hope you will not hesitate to teach me."

Abel was not there to cause trouble, so his tone was very polite and not aggressive.
