"Skill"

[Swordsmanship Genius]

• When equipped with a sword, a temporary additional development ability 'Swordsman' will be added.

· Slightly improved perception of sword skills.

The very simple ability value panel records all of Kuina's situation in detail.

The skills she possesses are similar to one of Yami's abilities, but if you look closely, you can find that the effect is completely incomparable.

This shows how powerful Yoriichi's talent is.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the son of heaven, that man was born a swordsman.

"You actually have a skill, and it's a talent-oriented skill. I didn't expect the first child I accepted in this world would be a treasure. It's really the same as what you said, Yami, the children in this world are really talented. They are so powerful, if those gods know, they will be ecstatic!"

"Of course, Hephaestus-sama, this trip will not let you down!"

Yami smiled lightly, and said.

In fact, this is where it is. If you see the world-shattering physical combat and the magical and gorgeous devil fruit, I am afraid that she will feel even more excited.

After all, after getting along for a while, he also gradually figured out the temperament of his red-haired goddess.

In addition to forging, she is curious about new knowledge. This kind of magical power system, which is completely different from Orario's, will definitely arouse her interest.

I'm afraid that after the real-life time-travelling simulation is over, the Hephaestus familia will complete the expansion of personnel again.

Moreover, with so many talented or powerful members joining in, the overall strength of the Familia will be significantly improved by a notch.

So, will Hephaestus become the strongest Familia god just lying down?

If other gods knew about it, they would surely get red-eyed with jealousy!

"Hephaestus-sama, Master, please take care of me in the future!"

Officially engraved with the "God's Grace", although her strength has not changed in the slightest, Kuina still feels a slight change, as if a certain switch has been turned on on her body.

It is simply a supreme honour to be able to join the command of a god!

Although the world of One Piece does not seem to have too many gods, and even Nika, who was once known as the "Sun God", has been gradually forgotten by most people, it does not prevent humans from changing their beliefs.

After all, there is nothing shameful about believing in a powerful god.

After staying in Shimotsuki Village for a few days, Yami did not forget to teach Kuina.

Not only did he teach the breathing method to the other party, but he also trained the girl's basic ability value and combat skills through actual combat. Every day can be said to be quite fulfilling.

However, Yami and Hephaestus obviously couldn't stay on this island for long.

Witnessing Kuina's changes with his own eyes, Koshiro also looked away. In order to thank One Man One God for their help to Kuina, he took out a lot of assets and specially hired someone to build a ship, although it is not particularly luxurious. , but at least it is stronger and more comfortable than ordinary merchant ships.

At the pier of Shimotsuki Village, Yami and Hephaestus stood on the boat, and Kuina stood on the shore, and said to her father with some reluctance: "Father, I want to follow Hephaestus-sama and Master, you must take care of yourself!"

"Don't worry, Kuina, I'm not old yet, and I can take care of myself, but you, by the side of Sir Yami and Hephaestus-sama, must be sensible and not be willful, you understand?"

Koshiro's expression was very complicated, and there was a little bit of reluctance in his eyes.

However, he also knows that he can't keep his daughter, that is the other party's dream, since it is possible to chase the pinnacle of swordsmanship now, then let her go!

What's more, it may be her honour to be able to follow a great swordsman and a god.

"I know, father, and pay more attention to your body, I will find time to come back to see you."

Although Koshiro once discouraged her enthusiasm, she didn't have any thoughts of blaming him. After all, it was for her own good. 

Now that she is about to travel far away, Kuina's face is full of reluctance.

However, in order to chase her dream, the girl had already made up her mind. With her lips pursed, she turned around and walked into the boat without hesitation, and stood beside the goddess Hephaestus.

"Sir Koshiro, don't worry, I will protect Kuina's safety and let her come back to see you often."

"Then all will be left to Sir Yami and Hephaestus-sama."

After the solemn words fell, Yami let go of the sails, and driven by the wind, the wooden boat sailed away from the wharf of Shimotsuki Village at a not-so-fast speed and headed for the distance.

Soon, the figures near the pier became smaller and smaller, and finally even the entire island disappeared from sight.

Only then did Yami look away.

Turning his head, he found that Kuina was in a slightly depressed mood. He couldn't help but put his left hand on the girl's head again, and comforted her softly: "Okay, Kuina, there is no need to be so sad, there is always a banquet in the world. And it's not like you can't go back, you can come back to see your father whenever you have time."

"However, before that, you still have to achieve something first, otherwise, if your father sees that your sword skills have not improved, it would be bad to treat us as liars."

The effect of cold jokes is not particularly obvious, and Yami is actually not good at coaxing people.

However, the very sensible Kuina understood his intentions, and her heart immediately warmed up, and the sadness on her face dissipated a lot, at least she smiled again.

"No, master, I will train hard."

"Very good, I like your momentum, then while sailing on the sea, go over there and swing your sword three thousand times, the posture must be standard, I will not supervise you, everything depends on you."

"Yes, Master, I will do it!"

After leaving these words, Kuina ran to the deck beside her and started practising with her words.

Swish! Swish!! Swish!!!

The wooden sword waved, and the loud and clear sound of breaking the wind continued to sound.

Looking at Kuina, who was meticulous and striving to make every sword perfect, Yami nodded in satisfaction, and then looked away.

"Yami, where are we going next?"

The ship was sailing aimlessly on the sea. After leaving Shimotsuki Village, there was an endless ocean all around. No matter which direction it was, the picture was exactly the same. It was impossible for ordinary people to identify the correct one in this situation. position.

Yami, who has no sailing skills at all, looks very dizzy looking at the surrounding environment.

From the looks of it, the idea of ​​drifting wherever you go in the traversal simulation is obviously unrealistic, he has to find a reliable navigator.

Perhaps, he can find one from the Navy.

"Hephaestus-sama, we have just come to this world. We are not familiar with the place and direction. This sea area is the weakest East Blue Sea. Next, we need to enter the Grandline with complex and changeable weather. If we don't have a navigator who knows how to navigate it is absolutely impossible."

"So, why don't we just go shopping in the East Blue Sea and see if we can find a qualified navigator, what do you think?"

Yami expressed his suggestion, and at the same time wanted to seek the opinion of Hephaestus.

"Wouldn't this be a waste of time? I can take you and little Kuina to fly there. According to my speed, no matter where it is, I can almost reach it in the shortest time."

"Um...Because of the differences in the world, the flow rate of time in different worlds is also completely different. For some special reasons, no matter how long we stay in this world, only one hour will pass by Orario's side. So you don't have to worry about the time issue at all."

Yami explained with a smile, and then added again: "Of course, if you feel that taking a boat is too time-consuming, Hephaestus-sama, we can also make a quick decision, get everything done as quickly as possible, and then return to Orario, do you think that's all right?"

"What, even the flow rate of time is completely different? It's really amazing!"

Obviously, Hephaestus's focus is completely different. After hearing the news, the red-haired goddess also showed a bright smile on her face.

"Since no matter how long it has passed, Orario will only pass for an hour, there is no need for us to rush back in such a hurry. After finally coming to a different world, let's enjoy more of the customs of the different world and enjoy our time here."

"You don't know Yami, the heavens are so boring, although Orario is wonderful, but staying in one place for a long time will almost suffocate you to death."

"Then I listen to you, Hephaestus-sama!"

Yami smiled slightly, and then involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Hephaestus did not urge him, the next plan is relatively loose. Try to change more things, then improve his level, improve his final evaluation, and find some powerful swordsmen on the way to learn from each other.

It would be great if he could raise his strength to another level before fighting Im.

After all, it would be nice to not have the help of Goddess Hephaestus if he can.

"By the way, Yami, what is the situation of pirates that Koshiro mentioned before, and tell me about the specific situation of this world by the way."

"Of course no problem, Hephaestus-sama, this world is basically covered by the ocean, and the proportion of land and islands is not high, so ships are a very important means of transportation..."

The wooden boat sails on the sea with wind and waves.

Kuina stood alone on the deck practising swordsmanship. The girl's forehead was dripping with sweat, and her breathing became slightly short of breath. Her hands were also extremely sore, but she didn't want to give up, but gritted her teeth , continued with a firm gaze.....

On the other side, Yami told his Goddess about the specific situation of One Piece World.

First, the situation in each region, then the distribution of forces, and finally various forces.

The easy-to-understand words made Hephaestus quickly understand the basic situation of this world, and she nodded lightly: "So, the ruler of this world is an organisation called the World Government. There's also a group of outlaws who make waves on the sea, and the rulers of the world government are a group of guys who call themselves 'Descendants of God', is this understanding correct?"

"Generally that is correct, the vast majority of pirates are not good people. For the sake of their so-called fame, many pirates will choose to burn, kill and loot to attract the attention of the navy, so as to increase their own rewards, so in most cases, say

There's nothing wrong with pirates being villains. "

"But at the same time, the navy is not absolutely righteous, at least in terms of acting style, it is not so decent."

Yami roughly expressed his true inner thoughts. He doesn't admire the navy, but he is very resistant to pirates.

Probably because of the memory of his previous life, he couldn't burn, kill and loot with peace of mind!

Things that have no owner may be contested, but Yami has no way to convince himself to do such a thing by taking things from ordinary people.

Even if some pirates did not do evil, many rampant behaviours caused more or less damage to others.

However, in the world of One Piece, which is surrounded by the sea, there is no way for this situation to happen. No matter which world it is, there will always be people who want to make it easy for themselves without caring about others.

As for the existence of the acquisition, even among the group of adventurers in Orario, there are not a few such people.

Maybe it's like that saying:

The world is neither black nor white, but a fine grey.

"You said there are things to be done in this world, what exactly are they?" After a little thought, Hephaestus suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Although Yami was a little puzzled, he still responded simply: "It's not a big deal, it's probably just to increase the time and deal with some unsightly things.

Kill some evil people, and then overthrow a world government or something, that's about it..."

An understatement of words, without any tone fluctuations at all.

It's like talking about something trivial.

If other people knew that he calmly said such a terrible thing, he would be regarded as a fool by everyone.

After all, even the most powerful Pirate Emperor would not dare to confront the world government head-on. There was one person who did this before, and he almost succeeded, unfortunately, in the end they lost to the joint efforts of the Navy and the Pirate King, and finally lost.

It is ridiculous that an unknown newcomer wants to overthrow the world government.

However, Hephaestus, who knows Yami very well, is very clear that her child is not joking.

The red-haired goddess knows the basic situation of the world and already has some basic understanding of the world.

Simply put, the human potential in this world is great, but ordinary people are living in dire straits.

Countries that are able to pay protection fees will be protected by the world government, but will be squeezed by their own kings, while countries that are unable to pay protection fees will be invaded by pirates

Ordinary people who have no power at all will always die tragically in the invasion of pirates.

"No matter which world it is, there will always be chaos. Even in Orario, there are dark factions. Although human beings have unlimited potential, they always like to fight.

What a combination of contradictions. "

Thinking about it, Hephaestus couldn't help sighing.

"Yes, where there are people, there is struggle. Human desires always make them pursue more. Many people are often dragged into the abyss by desires because they cannot control their desires.

Probably the root of human beings."

"But relatively, it is also because of the existence of desire that human beings can make progress. It is really contradictory…"

Yami also sighed involuntarily.

Even he himself has desires, although this desire is not so obvious as his strength increases and he becomes more and more secure, but it still exists.

However, no matter what the future holds, at least he can control his desires so that they will not undergo drastic changes.

He didn't want to be an existence that disgusted even himself.

Goddess Hephaestus turned her head and stared at Yami's side face, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and an idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

Yami once said personally that he does not want to be a hero.

But, what is being done now, is there anything that a hero would not accomplish?

Yami, you have unknowingly become the existence you least want to be!

I really look forward to where you will go in the end. You will definitely become the most powerful hero!
