Using Random Travel

Ten minutes later, in the Sword Dojo.

Tang An sat upright, a cup of hot tea in front of him. Across from him, Koushirou, with glasses on, grinned while looking at the Nine Yin manual in his hands. With Kuina by his side, busy making tea.

Ten minutes ago, Tang An wanted to exchange the Nine Yin manual for a ship.

Kuina introduced him to Koushirou for this purpose.

And that's how this situation came about.

"It's truly incredible."

Koushirou was completely captivated by the Nine Yin manual.

It was an unprecedented swordsmanship manual that greatly inspired him.

The most amazing part was the writing—characters he didn't recognize, yet he could understand the entire manual.

Just this fact alone showcased the preciousness of this manual.

Not to mention the unbelievable content inside.

Though many parts were incomprehensible to him, Koushirou saw it as a treasure.

"This manual is truly precious."

Suppressing his excitement, Koushirou closed the manual and placed it in front of him, his smiling face now serious.

"Do you really want to exchange this for a ship?"

"Yes."

Tang An nodded, sighing. "This manual is of no use to me. I just want to return to my hometown now."

"If you only exchange it for a ship, you'll be at a loss."

Koushirou didn't want to take advantage of Tang An.

It was a principle and part of his swordsmanship.

"If possible, I would also like to exchange it for some food and treasures worth a million berries."

Tang An hesitated before speaking.

"Sure."

Koushirou readily agreed.

"Thank you."

"I should be thanking you. A ship and a million berries are far less valuable than this manual."

Koushirou shook his head, smiling.

He had a premonition that this manual might advance his swordsmanship once again.

"The ship and food will be ready tomorrow morning, but you'll have to stay here tonight."

"No problem."

Tang An wasn't afraid that Koushirou would harm him. If he had malicious intentions, he wouldn't have revealed the preciousness of the manual.

"Kuina, go arrange a room for the guest and prepare what he needs. Also, call Zoro."

"Yes."

"Wait, I'll go with you! It's a good chance to explore this place."

As Kuina was about to leave, Tang An stood up.

"Please follow me."

Kuina was serious as they left the room one after the other.

"Zoro, come with me to the village."

Outside the Sword Dojo, Kuina called Zoro, who was still diligently practising in the distance.

"What's the matter."

Zoro, sweating profusely, stopped reluctantly.

But he still came to Kuina.

"Hello."

Tang An greeted, but Zoro didn't even look.

"Impolite."

Kuina punched Zoro's head, and she held his head, looking angry.

Unfortunately, facing Kuina, he had no choice.

Then the three of them walked along the path into the village to arrange the things Tang An needed.

At night, Tang An lay in the arranged room, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

The ship was ready during the day, and they only needed to move the remaining food tomorrow. Kuina and Zoro would surely help.

That would be the perfect time to make a move.

Koushirou was already engrossed in the Nine Yin manual. By the time he realized Zoro was dead, Tang An would have disappeared into the vast sea.

But the opponent had Kenbunshoku Haki(Observation Haki).

But Kenbunshoku Haki(Observation Haki) couldn't be maintained all the time, right?

Despite the danger, Tang An couldn't wait any longer.

He had three months and five days left.

There wasn't enough time to delay any further. He had to quickly deal with Zoro, then go to Cocoyasi Village to eliminate Nami, and finally find a way to reach the New World.

Three months was too rushed.

Who knew if there would be unexpected incidents on the way, like this storm.

If there was no other way, he could only use Random Travel.

If time allows, he would like to stay here for some time, perhaps learn swordsmanship, and successfully complete his training.

After thinking about these things, Tang An quickly fell asleep.

The day was truly exhausting, especially when encountering the storm.

A quiet night passed, and early the next morning, Kuina took Tang An and Zoro to continue preparing things.

Zoro was extremely unwilling, with a face as gloomy as death.

After about two hours of busy work, everything was ready. Looking at the ship in front of him, similar to a procurement ship, the cabin was stocked with a month's worth of food and treasures worth a million berries. There were over ten gold coins, Tang An carried them in his pocket, along with a golden dagger adorned with red and blue gems.

"Tang An, do you need anything else?" asked Kuina as they stood on the deck.

"No," Tang An shook his head.

"Then, I wish you a smooth journey," Kuina said, clasping her hands together.

"Thank you," Tang An smiled. Suddenly, without hesitation, he pulled out a Type 92 pistol and shot Zoro in the back of the head.

"Bang!"

Blood splattered, and with a painful groan, Kuina fell on Zoro, taking the bullet meant for him.

"Kuina," Zoro said as he got up, blood splattering on his face.

"You bastard," Zoro's eyes turned red, and he charged towards Tang An.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a wooden sword. Dodging Zoro's punch, Tang An, with a fierce look, aimed a punch at Zoro's throat.

Military combat techniques are aimed at vital points, designed for killing. Unfortunately, the pistol was out of bullets.

Zoro reacted quickly, using his left hand to block, retreating a few steps. In the past, a child would have been sent flying, but Zoro only took a few steps back.

Tang An was no ordinary person anymore; he could easily kill ten adults, considering the past month of intense training.

However, a couple of weeks ago, Tang An wouldn't have been a match for Zoro.

"I'm going to kill you," Zoro steadied himself and charged at Tang An.

Tang An, with a narrowed gaze, performed a sweeping leg kick as Zoro approached, making him lose balance. Then, he kicked towards Zoro's head.

Zoro's hands crossed in front of him, moving sideways on the ground. Tang An followed closely.

Dodging Tang An's kick, Zoro quickly got up, glaring fiercely at Tang An, out of breath.

Without much talk, they engaged in another fight. Each of Tang An's attacks aimed for vital areas—throat, armpits, eyes, and lower body—merciless moves.

Zoro, barehanded, clearly lacked combat power.

"Puff..."

the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh came, Tang An not only used his advantage in size but also a sharp weapon.

The golden dagger, adorned with red and blue gems, plunged halfway into Zoro's chest. If it weren't for Zoro's timely evasion, it would have hit his heart.

Tang An pulled out the dagger, and hot blood sprayed like a fountain.

As Tang An prepared for a second and third stab, a sword aura tearing through everything disrupted the scene. Tang An stiffened, unable to move.

In an instant, thousands of meters away, Koushirou appeared on the ship.

Seeing Kuina lying in a pool of blood and Zoro gasping for breath, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Raising his Blade, he slashed through the air towards Tang An, a brilliant sword light flashing like thunder.

Damn, how did he appear so quickly?

Miscalculation.

Without hesitation, Tang An used random travel. Now, only random travel could save him, and there was no time to think about the consequences.

The entire sea formed a split, cascading waves that spread to the end, turning everything upside down.

Koushirou stopped, watching the disappearing light spots with a dark expression.

He didn't know what method the other party used to disappear.
