After the brilliant duel between the two sword masters, Koushiro couldn't help but sigh because he had lost a bet with Huo Yuhao. He knew Zoro's chance of winning was thin, but he was still hopeful.
However, Koushiro wasn't too sad. After all, the one winning this duel is his lovely daughter. Many years have passed, and she's already this strong.
Koushiro felt relieved because Kuina had enough strength to survive in this dangerous world. With Huo Yuhao's protection, Koushiro was also unafraid of anything happening in another world.
"Aih, my daughter's talent is truly humbling." Koushiro sighed helplessly.
He regretted suppressing Kuina's dream of becoming the strongest swordsman in the past.
Was he too protective?
Maybe he was.
Ultimately, Kuina is not just Koushiro's daughter; she is his only child, embodying his legacy and hopes for the future.
Is it wrong to protect his own blood and flesh from danger?
Koushiro shook his head gently, "Let's not delve too deep. Things have already happened, and Kuina has surpassed me both in swordsmanship and cultivation."
"I have to thank Young Master Yuhao afterward."
Kuina landed near Koushiro and gave him a victory peace sign, "Dad, I won!"
"Yes. Yes, you're." Koushiro smiled faintly. "Haha, it seems Yuhao-sama has been treating you well all this time."
Hearing Koushiro's words, Kuina couldn't help but blush. She didn't know how to explain that her relationship with Huo Yuhao had surpassed the master-student relationship.
Her father might be shocked beyond belief.
Kuina looked away and asked, "How long can you maintain your clone, Dad?"
"As long as I want. This Spirit Skill didn't consume too much Spirit Energy because I condensed it with my Martial Soul's feather and wind energy in the atmosphere." Koushiro appeared a bit proud. "The only downside is that I must 'personally' control this clone's body."
"And if I get fatally attacked, the clone will disperse. Thankfully, Zoro hasn't gone through too many dangerous situations..."
"While I can help Zoro, he settles the problems with his crew or himself most of the time."
"Other than that, he's a bit foolish."
"He is..." Kuina casually glanced at the fainted Zoro floating beside her in amusement. "But he's a good kind of fool."
"Yeah..." Koushiro nodded in agreement.
After exchanging words, Koushiro excused himself, saying he still needed to cultivate more or else he'd get embarrassed by his daughter. He also told Kuina to come to Shimotsuki Village when everything settled.
Kuina didn't mind Koushiro's pursuit of cultivation because only the strong can speak in this world. "See you later, Dad." She said, waving her hand to the dissipating breeze.
"Well, let's fix this mess."
Kuina looked around, observing District 1 as a wrecked, flooded area as if a storm had swept through it. People can't live in this place anymore.
Of course, Kuina wouldn't let it stay as it is.
She casually snapped her finger and enveloped the area with her Divine Might, reshaping the site into a more liveable space. The giant mangrove roots started covering the ground, followed by dirt and rock formation, stopping the flood.
The clouds in the sky also parted, revealing a bright sun.
No matter how one sees it, this is not the power of mortals.
Kuina huffed, "This is harder than I thought. Altering reality with Divine Might consumes too much divine will and energy."
"No wonder Raikou doesn't recommend me doing something like this and instead focuses more on the combat aspect of it."
"I wonder if Master can reshape the world?" Although Kuina doubted her ability, she didn't doubt Huo Yuhao's. His Divine Might is many times more refined and profound than hers.
Even the Ostera Race's Noble, who was supposed to be the pioneer of the Divine Might, lost to him.
"The world is vast."
"There is so much to learn..."
Kuina tapped the ground and teleported into the cafe again, putting Zoro lightly on the ground. "Phew, that was refreshing."
"Hehe, you said that as if you don't turn District One upside down," Robin remarked with a smile.
Kuina snorted, "Go look for a mirror. You also made a mess when fighting Admirals earlier."
Robin shrugged, indicating that she had evacuated every innocent life in the area. She minimized the damages so the Sabaody wouldn't sink into the ocean.
However, the duel between Kuina and Zoro is different. They are fighting wholeheartedly, creating destruction left and right. If Robin hadn't sealed the area around District One with the Primordial Runes barrier, Kuina would have destroyed Sabaody.
Kuina knew that, but she won't admit it. She won't let Robin win against her.
"KUINA, YOU'RE SO STRONG!" Luffy shouted while looking at Kuina with jaws dropped and eyes wide open. "What was that whale earlier? I don't know a sword technique could do that..."
Nami and Brook also have similar reactions.
Brook is also a swordsman and knew Kuina's technique was impossible to replicate. Something about manifesting your will with sword light isn't a realm he reached yet.
Kuina placed her hands on her hip and raised her nose, "I know, I know, I'm just that amazing."
"Fufu, Kuina-chan, don't get too complacent. It's cute, though." A motherly voice arrived at the cave.
Kuina shuddered as she turned around and saw Raikou with a deer-like creature following her. "Uugh, this woman."
Luffy, Nami, and Brook were shocked by Raikou's appearance.
They thought Robin's beauty was already at the top of the world, but Raikou proved them wrong.
This woman has a complex, motherly aura around her that they couldn't help but admire. Even a fool like Luffy has to admit Raikou is stunning.
"Chopper!" It took them a few minutes to notice the familiar deer behind Raikou.
"Hi, everyone! Yes, it's me, Chopper!" The little deer in question waved his hand excitedly. Two years have passed quickly, and he couldn't help but tear up upon seeing everyone again.
"Hehe, I'm happy to meet you guys again!"
"Eh, what happened to Zoro?" Chopper ran to the cave but was stunned to see bloody Zoro snoring on the floor.
"Ara? He doesn't look so good. Moo, Kuina-chan! Bullying your childhood friend is no good, you know?" Raikou approached Zoro, using her powers to heal him.
"Who said I was bullying him? We just had a duel!" Kuina couldn't accept this slander.
Robin smiled at Chopper, "Long time no see, Chopper. You have become more adorable."
"Hehe, I'm not that adorable~!" Chopper was happy to be praised, swaying his little body left and right.
Robin patted the deer and looked at her crew, "The only ones left are Ussop, Sanji, and Franky, huh?"
"Anyone see them?"
"Nope!" Luffy answered immediately.
"We haven't seen them either." Nami, Brook, and Chopper shook their heads.
"That's weird..." Robin tapped her finger on the table.
"No, they are here."
"But we also have another guest."
"Bad guy?" Raikou glanced at the street, seeing four silhouettes coming in their direction.
Robin chuckled, "No. In fact, Luffy should know this person."
"If I'm not wrong... Luffy, you should have learned Haki from this person."
"Haki? Ah, you mean Rayleigh." Luffy stretched his head outside the cave, and his eyes lit up. "OY, RAYLEIGH! HERE! I'M HERE!"
"..." Everyone.
"Is he always like this?" Raikou asked everyone.
Nami and others sighed, "Yes..."
"Oh, USSOP, SANJI, FRANKY! COME HERE!" Luffy also waved his hand at the last two crewmates of Strawhat Pirate.
"Fufu, how amusing," Raikou giggled, finding Luffy's childish personality somewhat endearing. It was 'somewhat' refreshing to have such a ball of joy in a world like this.
No wonder Luffy is Tiny World's Child of Destiny.
Ussop, Sanji, and Franky silently followed behind Rayleigh. They were stunned to see Celestial Dragons floating in the sky, wrapped in bloody cocoons.
"Damn, how metal..." Franky said in awe.
"Metal? More like suicidal!" Ussop retorted, feeling lost because of the accident two years ago.
"Just what the hell they are doing here?" Sanji smoke his cigarette solemnly.
"Hoh, this is getting interesting." Meanwhile, Rayleigh stared at the Celestial Dragons with a faint smile.
Then, they heard Luffy's shout.
They spotted his stretching long neck and head and laughed.
"We are coming!"
Hehe, Reyleigh, Ussop, Sanji, and Franky are up to a great surprise.
