Koshiro probably won't hold anything back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus closed his eyes, thinking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Kuina seemed like a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Cyrus around before, she would often look troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, her personality had actually become cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was more like how an eleven-year-old girl should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zoro was puzzled by Kuina's change, he would still compare himself to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a few days later, Cyrus looked at the three-sword style Zoro, who was staring at him intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you beat Kuina?\" Cyrus asked with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuina conceded on her own. Next, you're my target,\" Zoro said very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus turned his head toward where Kuina was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep, I lost!\" Kuina said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever.

Cyrus, accept my challenge,\" Zoro said, his eyes wide with anticipation as he waited for Cyrus to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright!\" Cyrus sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zoro about to charge, he raised a hand to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you'll have to wait. I haven't started my training for today yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro, who was about to rush forward, stumbled and nearly fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After steadying himself with difficulty, he looked at Cyrus in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koshiro walked over slowly, sword in hand, unsurprised by the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The island isn't suitable for fighting. The boat is at the pier. There's a small, uninhabited island nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Koshiro turned and walked toward the pier, and Cyrus followed right behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina got up and followed without the slightest hesitation. Zoro looked bewildered, but his curiosity drove him to follow as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small island was indeed not far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a half-hour boat ride from Shimotsuki Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Koshiro!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the boat stopped, Zoro couldn't hold back his curiosity and looked at Koshiro questioningly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuina, Zoro, you two wait on the boat. Don't come close,\" Koshiro said, turning to the two and giving them a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus's upcoming training was actual combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what he had promised Cyrus before, and from now on, they would have such an exchange every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus was also looking forward to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the quietly waiting Kuina and Zoro, Cyrus bent his knees slightly and leaped up abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful force made the small boat rock violently, a testament to the strength he had used to push off from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt that challenging Cyrus might have been a deliberate attempt to get beaten up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small island wasn't large and was quite desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The part above the sea was all gravel, without a single weed in sight, and water stains were visible on the rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After landing, Cyrus looked at Koshiro, who had also leaped and landed not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, you can try to learn my Swordsmanship,\" Koshiro said calmly, looking at Cyrus with a peaceful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the Swordsmanship one comprehends through their own battles is the most suitable for them, it's not a bad thing to learn more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus nodded at his words, naturally not refuting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy to understand the principle of learning from the strengths of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I have learned is the Swordsmanship passed down from my father, the Shimotsuki family's ancestral Swordsmanship. The Shimotsuki style places great emphasis on slashing. By adjusting your breathing and letting out a great shout when you slash, you can enhance the power of the strike,\" Koshiro explained as he drew his weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koshiro gripped his sword with both hands, took a stance, and in the next instant, appeared before Cyrus as if he had teleported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his sword high and brought it down in a heavy slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp cry accompanied the slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus swung his sword to parry, and the force sent him flying backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting his posture, Cyrus landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koshiro's body followed closely, delivering another slash accompanied by a shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sword coming down on his head, Cyrus smiled, gripped his sword with both hands, and swung it upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal striking metal rang out. Cyrus's knees bent slightly, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What immense strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koshiro used the recoil to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After steadying himself, he exclaimed in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long known that Cyrus's breakthroughs far surpassed those of ordinary people and that he was still rapidly getting stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just now, he had used seventy percent of his strength but had failed to gain an advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he wasn't a top-tier powerhouse on the seas, but he had been diligently practicing Swordsmanship for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about Cyrus before him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, neither of them was using any power other than their Swordsmanship and physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My turn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus paid no mind to Koshiro's astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed off forcefully with his legs, causing the ground to explode. Just like Koshiro a moment ago, Cyrus appeared before him in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his sword in a horizontal slash with his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their weapons clashed, Cyrus clearly felt the force from Koshiro's sword guiding, or rather, deflecting his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was actually able to retract the sword he had swung with all his might, and after retracting it, he slashed out horizontally again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blow sent Koshiro flying. He tumbled several times in the air before landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crude! That's just a crude application of your strength,\" Koshiro said with a dark face, rather speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it's very effective,\" Cyrus replied with a smile, unconcerned by Koshiro's tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But on these seas, you'll always encounter guys stronger than you, like the giants, and the real monsters of the sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koshiro felt that Cyrus was relying too much on his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really overpower every opponent with just strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is only the first day. I'm just letting the Dojo master know that I'm actually not bad,\" Cyrus said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Showing me your strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koshiro was taken aback, then understood Cyrus's meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus was telling him to just go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, Koshiro's eyes turned dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he had been underestimated by Cyrus.\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-06-05T17:57:20.097Z",1,"novelbin.me","7394a1b1aaed1f2b854c36b5fcf93be20b19a458d59be2faec808bed9ddba4da","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-25","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-23",263,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-bounty-hunter-king-cover.jpg"]
