I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

Koushirou was disheartened.

No, Dick, where's your excitement? Where's your adoring gaze? This is really discouraging.

“Dick, let’s have a competition later,” Guina said eagerly.

"it is good."

The battle between the two sides was a fight that transcended that of ordinary people.

With a series of swishes, apart from Koushirou and Zoro, everyone else could only see afterimages.

The swift movements, the powerful force, the exquisite swordsmanship, and the use of Ryuo—all of these made Koushirou nod repeatedly.

His swordsmanship has improved significantly.

There's no doubt about it, it was definitely Shanks who gave the instructions.

Bang bang bang.

Dick struck three times in quick succession, each blow stronger than the last.

Finally, the wooden sword came to rest on Kuina's head.

"I won this time."

"Ah." Kuina sheathed her sword.

Silently recalling the battle, reflecting on his own shortcomings.

Zoro, who had been waiting impatiently, drew his sword without hesitation.

Then, I got beaten up again.

However, judging from Zoro's happy expression, he didn't seem to mind.

That evening, Dick banged loudly on Koushirou's door.

It woke Koushirou up from his sleep.

Look at the time, it's midnight.

"What is it?" Koushirou asked hurriedly, picking up his sword without even putting on his shoes properly.

That evening, Dick knocked on the door.

Something urgent must have happened.

Could it be a pirate attack on the island?

Thinking this, Koushirou's eyes sharpened, and an unnamed aura erupted from his body.

The overwhelming aura even made Dick a little nervous.

"I have something important to ask the teacher."

Koushiro:? ? ?

"Teacher, let's talk in the tea room."

Look at Dick, then look at the night.

Koushirou remained silent.

I barely suppressed the urge to slash a few times.

Koushirou calmed his mind and focused his spirit.

Cultivate your mind, cultivate your mind.

Half an hour later, Koushirou regained his composure, at least outwardly.

Kneel down, brew tea, and warm the tea.

After going through the whole process, anyone who saw it would agree that Koushirou was a grandmaster.

In fact it is.

Without Dick, no matter what major event occurred, even if Kuina died, Koushirou would not break down.

His mindset was truly stable.

"Teacher, contact Bartholomew Bear."

"Cough cough." Koushirou patted his chest.

I almost thought I had misheard.

"Who?"

“Bartholomew the Bear,” Dick said innocently, “Teacher, aren’t you a revolutionary?”

Dick remembered clearly that in the comics, Dragon and the others had gone to Shimotsuki Village to gather supplies.

Moreover, high-ranking officials such as Dorag, Xiong, and Ivankov were all present.

In this situation, if Koushirou and Dragon had no contact, it would be an insult to Dick's intelligence.

“Nonsense,” Koushirou put down his teacup, quickly looked around, and went to the door to make sure no one was listening before continuing.

"I'm not some revolutionary. Where did you hear that from?"

“Shanks?” Dick asked, his eyes full of doubt.

“Red-haired guy…” Koushirou was somewhat on edge.

Isn't this just pure fabrication?

Koshiro was a law-abiding citizen with no revolutionary ideas; at most, he would offer Dragon a little help.

This is purely due to the friendship between the two sides, a personal relationship, and absolutely not a revolution, much less an intention to become enemies with the World Government.

"He's talking nonsense," Koushirou said irritably.

"A pirate, you can't trust him."

Even if we assume that Koushirou has some connection with the revolutionaries, that's something Shanks wouldn't know.

His relationship with Shanks wasn't that close.

"Is that so?" Dick touched his hair and turned to leave.

"Never mind then, I'm still thinking about information about Ginny."

“Wait a minute,” Koushirou’s eyebrows twitched.

“Tell me about that,” Koushirou frowned, “the information about Ginny.”

Dick wanted to make a joke, but then thought better of it.

"I have received intelligence that the revolutionary former commander of the Eastern Army, Ginny, should appear in the Kingdom of Sobel in the South China Sea in the near future."

“Even if he’s not here now, he will be here soon,” Dick added.

Based on the timeline, Ginny should have been abandoned by the Celestial Dragons and returned to her homeland, the Kingdom of Sobel.

She died shortly after arriving in the Kingdom of Sobel. Before her death, Ginny contacted revolutionaries and others.

The Kingdom of Sobel?

Koushirou remained silent.

"Is the information accurate? Where did you get this intelligence?"

“I can’t say, the sources can’t say,” Dick shook his head. “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”

Chapter 44 Unrivaled Powerhouse, Bucky the Clown

Dick returned to Frostmoon Village this time for two reasons.

Dick really enjoys showing off.

Secondly, the Flame-Flame Fruit evolves, further enhancing the power of the Flame of Evolution. We need to find a way to further improve Kuina and Zoro's talents.

As for the last one, it was a sudden idea that came to mind after Tiger's death.

The world is already so messed up.

If you have the ability and the capacity, change some people and things.

After all, although the bear was cowardly, it was indeed too miserable.

Moreover, this incident also allows them to establish contact with the revolutionary army.

Koushirou remained silent and pondered for several minutes.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"Gone,"

pat.

The gate was immediately closed.

Dick: ...
