"Ms. Schuyler, I... don't understand."

Koushiro returned to his smiling appearance in an instant, but the hot sweat on his head and his constantly twitching knees showed that this young swordsman was not calm.

Skyler calmly said: "Don't understand what? Don't understand what the Revolutionary Army is? Still don't understand why I suddenly asked you this question?"

Koushiro did not answer, but refilled the water and boiled it. Then he glanced at the direction of the room thoughtfully, and then said: "In what capacity does Miss Skyler ask?"

"Then how do you view me and tell me this?"

As soon as Skyler spoke, the hesitation on Koushiro's face gradually subsided and he said: "Mr. Dorag came to my place before, and even thought about letting me teach you... the family swordsmanship, but..."

Koushiro looked at the ancient sword on Skyler's waist and said, "There is no need for me to teach you. As long as you understand the breathing of that sword, you can learn the swordsmanship below.

This is who you are in my eyes, the sister of a friend."

"I understand." Skyler glanced at her ancient masterpiece and was silent for a while. When the kettle boiled again, she said: "I am also visiting in this capacity to see my brother's friends.

"

"Then...tea?"

Koushiro concentrated his energy, and with a more cautious attitude than Skyler when fighting swords, he moved the kettle away to let it cool down, and then asked Skyler.

Skyler shook his head and said: "No, you just reacted too much and you need to go in to apply medicine... At the same time... you also need to practice your attitude towards others. His friends can't panic so easily.

"

Koushiro touched his wet and cold pants, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm too reckless, so I'll go back and tidy up first. Miss Skyler, please come to my house for dinner tonight."

Koushiro showed a friendly smile, while Skyler's expression turned strange and said, "Have you ever had dinner with Dorag?"

Hearing this, Koushiro's smile faded little by little and asked: "Miss Skyler's appetite..."

“Nothing less than that!”

"Goodbye! No delivery!"

Koushiro's expression was a little ferocious, as if he was recalling some terrifying meeting in his mind, but Skyler didn't mind. After all, she didn't miss the meal. It would be bad if someone else's mentality was broken because of a meal.

Skyler just stood up and wanted to leave, but the door to the room was opened, and a pale woman wearing a fox fur appeared. With a gentle smile, she took two steps forward, took a slight breath, and said:

"The head of the house is unkind, Miss Schuyler, please stay and dine."

The woman appeared, and the expressions of Koushiro and Skyler returned to calmness. Then, a gentle look appeared on Koshiro's face, but a solemn look appeared on Skyler's face.

'This woman won't live long!'

For some reason, Skyler saw in this woman the same look that he saw Ace's mother after giving birth that day, the same weakness, the same unwillingness, and the same happiness.

"In that case, excuse me, let me buy some ingredients. The ingredients stored in ordinary households...are not enough for me to eat for a meal, haha~"

But Skyler's expression soon softened. She had not yet adapted to the separation of life and death, but she knew how to hide her emotions, and had done so for many years.

After that, Skyler left Koushiro's house. Koushiro and his wife did not stop him. Skyler began to buy ingredients in the small village market. He said he was buying ingredients, but most of them were finished dishes.

You only need to slice it or put it on the plate before eating, and it doesn't require much work. Because he is wearing the colonel's cloak of justice, several store owners have asked if they want to buy it and hold banquets or dinners.

After all, the amount Skyler bought was really astonishing. In more than two years, when Skyler first came to this pirate world, he could eat food for more than ten people. Now it is even more incredible.

She can now even eat the same amount of food as her own net weight, and then use her life to return it and eat the same amount of food again, while still retaining some reservations.

When Skyler returned to Koushiro's home carrying ingredients for dozens of people, she clearly saw Koushiro's shocked and relieved expression.

In fact, Koushiro was really relieved. He opened a dojo and seemed to have dozens of disciples. However, half of these disciples were not paid and even had to pay for their children.

As for the remaining children who have paid tuition, the tuition is also very low. Even if the parents bring a basket of fish and two jugs of wine, Koushiro is happy to accept it without caring about money.

And he has no assets except this dojo. It can be said that he is quite poor. Sometimes a pirate group passes by and he can make a little money, but in the East China Sea... there are no rich pirate groups.

Many of the pirates had the idea of ​​​​carpe diem. Except for the tens of thousands of beli left, the other treasures they searched or plundered had already been sold, eaten, drank and played with.

Originally, Koushiro's wife "complained" that Skyler brought too much food, but after the dinner started, Mrs. Shigetsuki opened her mouth little by little and watched the food decrease little by little.

She still remembered that the last time Dorag came and Koushiro insisted on treating him, that day and that night were not so scary. It seemed that Miss Skyler's words of "even worse" were not a joke.

During dinner, Skyler also learned the name of Koushiro's wife, Yayoi Shigezuki, which was obviously her husband's surname.

Their child, the baby girl, was Kuina. Skyler looked at Kuina who was being fed meat porridge but her eyes were always staring at the barbecue and other meat dishes on the table, and said with a smile:

"This little girl has the potential to become a great swordsman."

Skyler did not expect that his complimentary words to the child would make both Koushiro and his wife sit up straight, especially Koushiro, who even showed hope on his face and asked:

"Miss Skyler, do you really think that my little girl can become a great swordsman in the future?"

Koushiro would not ask Skyler whether girls could become great swordsmen, because he had already seen this during the day at the dojo.

Skyler's swordsmanship clearly surpassed that of a great swordsman. He may not have become a great swordsman yet, but he was already on the road to become a great swordsman. Therefore, Koushiro paid great attention to Skyler's opinions.

Seeing Koushiro's reaction, Skyler also recalled that if there was one female character in One Piece who was hurt the most by gender concepts, it would undoubtedly be Kuina.

Her expression became serious and she said: "I think she has the qualifications to become a great swordsman, but you should also understand... countless geniuses who have the qualifications to become a great swordsman will also die in the sea on the way.

If...I mean if, after the age of fifteen, if she still has the will to become a great swordsman, she can come to Malinfando to find me."

In the original book, Kuina did not live to be fifteen, and unfortunately died when she was eleven, but Skyler would not say that he would pick her up before she was eleven.

Everything in life may not go as planned, but you always have the right to choose. At the age of fifteen, you can probably make a choice and pay for your choice.

If Kuina still can't make her own decision...then she can only sigh.

Koushiro looked at his daughter in his wife's arms and said, "You and Mr. Dorag are both good people. Lieutenant General Garp who can teach you two must be a hero. It's a pity that we haven't met each other."

"That's good, you won't be disappointed. Haha~"
