What does Chapter 42 have to do with me?
"What?!"
Sengoku's loud voice came through the Den Den Mushi, along with a loud cracking sound, which was probably from a table being smashed.
"The Celestial Dragons were killed by a dragon?!"
"right!"
Kyle replied.
"Don't worry about anything right now, just get away from the scene. I'll get someone to handle it right away!"
After saying that, without giving Kyle a chance to answer, Sengoku hung up the phone and contacted the head of the naval branch in the area where Shimotsuki Village was located.
For the Warring States period, even if they knew that their grandson's strength might not be simple, it was still too small.
Sengoku had no intention of involving Kyle in such troublesome matters.
He's just a child!
Kyle stuffed the Den Den Mushi into his pocket, glanced at the three dumbfounded people beside him, and said calmly:
"Done!"
"You...I...this..."
Koushirou stammered, not knowing what to say.
He just watched the whole process.
From Kyle's initial strike that deflected the bullets, to breaking Balinx's arm, to the final slash that sent Balinx and all the CP organization members to their deaths.
Not a single second was missed.
He's still completely dazed.
"You're really in the Navy?!"
"What? It doesn't look like it?"
"It definitely doesn't look like it!"
Koushirou looked at Kyle and nodded seriously, then spoke:
"I've never seen a Marine who would attack a Celestial Dragon!"
"Eh!"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. When did I ever lay a hand on a descendant of the great Creator?"
"Didn't I tell you? It was Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army! He's the one who killed the Celestial Dragons!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Kyle looked at Koushirou with a curious expression.
……
"That's a bit too realistic, isn't it?!"
Koushirou screamed inwardly, and after a long silence, he finally spoke up in agreement:
"That's right! It was the Celestial Dragon killed by the Revolutionary Army's Dragon Slayer, I saw it too!"
"That's more like it!"
Kyle smiled.
Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would still kill the Celestial Dragons, and it had nothing to do with Kyle.
It just so happens that Long was here a couple of days ago, so it's perfect for him to take the blame.
Since they had already gone to the opposite side of the World Government, another charge of killing a Celestial Dragon would have no effect on them.
As the saying goes, "When you have too many lice, you don't feel itchy anymore," right?
He wasn't worried about what Koushirou might say.
Although he had only known Koushirou for a few days, he was certain that Koushirou would never tell anyone.
This is a swordsman's intuition!
As for Kuina and Zoro, there's even less to worry about. He'll have those two by his side, and they'll experience these things firsthand sooner or later.
As a Marine, isn't it normal for you to kill a few Celestial Dragons?
"It's just a pity we won't be able to have this meal!"
Kyle looked into the village and saw the restaurant owner hurriedly packing up to run away, clearly indicating that he would not be able to open for business again.
"Sigh~"
Koushirou shook his head, sighed, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face, but he quickly dispelled it and smiled.
"Let's go back to the gym! I'll cook for you guys!!"
"don't want!!"
Upon hearing this, Zoro immediately retorted, while Kuina's expression also turned grim, as if she had thought of something terrifying.
"Um?!"
Koushirou lowered his head slightly, a glint of light flashing in his glasses, and looked at Zoro, asking in a low voice:
"Zoro! Don't you want to eat the feast I made?"
"I……"
Zoro was about to say something when he suddenly felt a deep chill, as if something terrible would happen if he told the truth.
"No, that's not it!"
"That's fine as long as it's not!"
"Let's go back then, I'll cook for you when we get back!"
After saying that, Koushirou took the lead and walked ahead with a smile in his eyes, heading towards the dojo.
Zoro and Kuina behind him looked at each other, then followed Koushirou with expressions of resignation.
Kyle: ...
Kyle glanced at the backs of the group, then looked at the restaurant owner who was running away in the village.
A thought popped into my head:
Or should we go and see if the restaurant is open for business?
……
-
The following day, a warship departed from the port of Shimotsuki Village and slowly sailed out to sea.
On the shore, Koushirou and the students of Isshin Dojo were standing there, waving continuously towards the warship.
"Zoro, Kuina!"
"You two better perform well in the navy; we'll be waiting for the day you return home in glory!"
Goodbye!!
The shouts of the crowd were deafening.
Hearing these shouts, the two men on the warship couldn't hold back their tears.
Zoro even jumped onto the railing and shouted at the crowd:
"I will definitely become the world's greatest swordsman!"
"It definitely will!!"
……
Hearing Zoro yelling and shouting, Kyle, who was lying on a deck chair nearby, couldn't help but gently pull up his sunglasses and look over.
Sure enough, Zoro is a little different when he was a child than when he grew up.
In the original work, Zoro usually just sleeps in the cabin when faced with such farewell scenes, and his emotions don't fluctuate much.
Luffy and his crew were crying and waving goodbye.
Zoro occasionally says something to them and gets accused of being inhuman.
Tsk tsk!!
Thinking of this, Kyle had an idea, and a video Den Den Mushi appeared in his hand. He then proceeded to take a series of photos of Zoro's current appearance.
This is one of the few times Zoro has cried, so of course we have to take a picture to commemorate it!
After a while, as the warship sailed further and further away, the people on the distant shore became almost just black dots.
Zoro's emotions had not completely calmed down yet, and he was still staring blankly into the distance.
This is, after all, the place where he has lived for so many years, and it is very difficult for him to leave.
However, Kyle didn't give him a chance to linger in the situation. He came up behind him, grabbed him by the collar, yanked him out, and threw him onto the deck.
From Zoro's perspective, while he was feeling sad, he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck, followed by a slight feeling of suffocation that quickly disappeared. When he came to his senses, he was already in mid-air, and then he landed hard on his backside on the deck, wincing in pain.
He suddenly looked up at Kyle and shouted:
"Kyle, what are you doing, you bastard?"
"What for? Of course, it's to train you. What else could it be?"
"All you do is slack off all day long. How dare you be lazy at your age?"
"Every minute you slack off now reduces your chances of becoming the world's greatest swordsman!"
"so……"
"Practice like crazy right now!!"
