33: Chapter 33 Rescuing KuinaDays passed by in training, monotonous yet not without its fun.Of course, this was only true for Wang Lufei.The thrill of beating up his two senior brothers and sisters every night was almost awakening a special attribute in him.
The two who were beaten up were exhausted every day.Not everyone can wake up refreshed like Wang Luffy after a good night's sleep, so they were both a little listless when they got up to train these days.
This puzzled Koushirou, who even secretly followed the three to see if they were doing anything secret, but when he got there, he saw Changwei hitting Laifu.
Startled, he quickly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Hey!What are you doing?Stop it!Even if I don't teach you sword techniques, don't humiliate yourselves like this!"
Kuina looked at her father as he approached and said, "Father, don't worry about it.This is Luffy's family secret technique, which can make our bodies as hard as iron.We know our limits and we're not degrading ourselves."
"Foolish!" Koushirou looked at his precious daughter who was being beaten but still looked happy, thinking that she had awakened a special attribute.He scolded her, "Do you know anything about restraint?This punch hurts me as much as it hurts you!You.sigh."
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Wang Lufei explained, "This is the Navy's training method for using iron blocks.It's aided by a medicinal liquid, so it won't harm the body.That's how I trained.Look." As he spoke, Wang Lufei used his arm to activate the iron block.
Before Zoro could react, a punch sent him staggering back several steps.Zoro said, "Explain yourselves, but don't hit me!You almost ripped my kidneys off.Either give me 500 yuan or 500 Q coins, or I won't get up."
Koushirou looked at Wang Lufei's arm and understood.He said, "Alright, it seems I misunderstood.But extra training is fine, but don't let it interfere with your daytime kendo training.It's really not good to have that kind of impact, you know?"
After saying that, he adjusted his glasses to hide his embarrassment.Then, after watching for a while, Koushirou still couldn't bear such a shocking scene and turned to leave.
After this minor incident, training returned to normal.However, one thing was unusual: Kuina and Zoro weren't dueling anymore.
Because the duel between the two was always scheduled for the evening, but now the evenings are used for training with Iron Body, and the two are so exhausted from training that they just want to go back to their rooms and sleep, Zoro has not mentioned the duel again.
This made Wang Lufei feel like he had shot himself in the foot.Was the two of them going to wait until the Iron Body technique was fully developed before continuing their duel?Wouldn't that be too late by then?
But then Wang Lufei thought again, if Kuina were to train until she was as tough as iron before the duel, wouldn't she no longer be afraid of accidentally being stabbed to death by Wado Ichimonji while going up the stairs?It seemed like he had achieved his goal again.
So now Wang Luffy feels like he's both relieved Kuina's safety crisis and not relieved it.All he can do is constantly use his Observation Haki to keep an eye on Kuina.
Half a month later, Wang Lufei felt that his Observation Haki seemed to have improved a lot, and his body was a little weak.
I spend all day using my Observation Haki to observe beautiful girls, watching them bathe and sleep.It's normal for my Observation Haki to increase.As for why it's weak, I can't explain it here.I can only say that I lost too much blood from my nose.
Finally, one night after Zoro mastered Iron Body, he challenged Kuina once again, this time for a real sword duel.(Zoro, who couldn't wait to challenge a girl who hadn't even mastered Iron Body yet, is really despicable.)
Kuina accepted the challenge, even asking Luffy to be a witness to their duel.Upon learning this, Luffy immediately frowned, realizing things weren't so simple.The convergence lines of the world might be about to be triggered here; he needed to keep a closer eye on Kuina.
On a night of full moon, atop the Forbidden City, the duel between a three-sword style swordsman and a one-sword style girl begins.
Zoro gripped his two swords tightly, bent his knees, and leaped forward, unleashing a double-sword jumping slash at Kuina.Kuina raised her hand, holding her sword horizontally above her head to block the attack, and then used the momentum to slash diagonally downwards, before pulling the sword out and delivering a powerful thrust forward.
Zoro remained calm and activated his Iron Body technique to block the thrust.After the thrust touched Zoro's dark skin, Kuina instantly felt a tingling sensation in her arm, as if she had struck real steel.
Kuina instantly sheathed her sword and retreated rapidly to create distance.Seeing this, Zoro also drew his third sword, bit it into his mouth, and began a new round of fierce attacks.
The two exchanged a few more blows, remaining evenly matched.Then Zoro said, "Kuina, as expected, this time it's my turn to win.Your sword can't cut through my iron body."
Kuina replied, "Don't be too smug.Although you've mastered the Iron Body technique and I can't cut through it now, your sword is too crude.You can't possibly hit me."
Just as they had said, the duel ended in a draw.Neither could gain the upper hand, and both exhausted all their strength, so Luffy declared it a tie.
In the end, the two agreed to the result, sheathed their swords, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath.
After recovering for a while, the two realized it was getting late and went back to their rooms.Wang Lufei didn't go back to his own room, but instead followed Kuina and secretly observed her.
After returning to her room, Kuina looked at the sword in her hand and began to cry, muttering to herself, "Was Father right all along?Are women really not suited for swordsmanship?Luffy's talent is one thing, but Zoro's training in Iron Body is faster than mine.He's so useless.Kuina, you're so useless."
After crying for a while, Kuina looked at Wado Ichimonji and thought she should sharpen it even more with a whetstone, since the sword might be a bit dull after fighting Zoro's iron block for so long.So she wiped away her tears, got up, and went to the attic.
She carried a ladder and, sword in hand, climbed step by step towards the attic.Wang Lufei, seeing this, was also.He was completely focused, not daring to blink, waiting to catch her the moment she fell.
Kuina climbed the stairs, rummaged around in the attic for a while, found the whetstone, and was about to take out her knife to sharpen it when disaster struck.Kuina, along with the ladder, tilted backward and was about to fall.
Seeing that Kuina was about to fall to the ground and the knife was about to pierce her in mid-air, Wang Lufei rushed over in a flash, grabbed the sword with one hand and hugged her with the other.
But after holding her in his arms, Wang Luffy noticed something was wrong.Had she used the Iron Block when she fell?Then Wang Luffy looked at Kuina, who was still a little confused, and sure enough, most of her body had turned black.
It seems the previous training worked; Kuina successfully awakened her full potential and manifested Iron Body at the most critical moment of her life.Even if I hadn't come to rescue her this time, she would have been fine.So how should I explain this to her.
Yes, all three of them had already returned to their rooms.It's a bit unusual that Luffy would rescue Kuina when she encountered an accident in her room.Sure enough, Kuina, nestled in his arms, asked with some surprise:
"What.um.how did you find out I was in danger and come to save me?I remember you went back to your room.Could it be that you."
Wang Lufei took a deep breath and said calmly, "I felt a sudden pang of anxiety after returning to my room.Then I knew something might happen to you."
Because my premonitions are usually very accurate, when my body senses something, it means someone I care about is about to encounter an accident.Everyone else I care about has strong protection, so after thinking it over, the only person I could be in danger with was you.So, I was worried and decided to come check on you, and sure enough.Luckily I came, otherwise I might have regretted it for the rest of my life."
