Although Ian and Sauron had always believed that Kuina could wake up, what they didn't expect was that they would wait for such a long time.
Time flies, and six years have passed in a blink of an eye. During these six years, Kuina is still unconscious.
Apart from not being able to wake up, her body is normal, she has been growing, and now she is lying on the ground, has become a slim girl, since almost all the men in the dojo, taking care of Kuina has a lot It was inconvenient, so Master Koshiro specially invited an aunt in the village to take care of her, feeding her and grooming her every day.
Ian and Sauron would find time to talk to Kuina every day, especially Sauron, who kept mentioning how much stronger he had become every day, hoping to stimulate Kuina to wake up, but they didn't know Why, maybe this kind of stimulation is not strong enough. Although Kuina will move every time she hears this kind of topic, she still can't really wake up.
Sauron was exercising more and more desperately every day. He seemed to want to use this method to relieve the anxiety deep in his heart.
He even asked Wadaichi from Master Koshiro, and started his path of the three-sword style. He thought that since Kuina couldn't exercise now, it was up to him to grow stronger with her share.
What about Ian
Ian was sitting in the dojo right now, sitting face to face with Master Koshiro.
Over the past six years, Ian has gradually grown up. Long-term exercise has endowed him with a strong and tall figure. Now he is 18 years old, with a height of 182 centimeters and long black hair. Tie back into a ponytail, his face is gentle, and there is often a smile on the corner of his mouth, just like Master Koshiro.
Over the years, the person who has had the deepest influence on Ian is naturally Koshiro, who is also a teacher and father, so it is not surprising that he looks like him.
It's just that Koshiro now has a lot of gray hair on his forehead. Although he has always treated people and things as gentle as water, the situation of Kuina still secretly made him a little more anxious.
The old teacup is filled with newly poured hot water. The tea leaves are stretched out one by one at the right temperature, forming a beautiful green color. Kuina can't wake up. One of Ian's must-dos.
Picking up the teacup, gently blowing off the foam, Ian took a sip of the tea, put down the cup, and said to Koshiro, "Master, I want to go to sea!"
Koshiro was not surprised by Ian's words, and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, you said the same thing two years ago."
Indeed, in terms of anxiety, Ian is no worse than Sauron. Even two years ago, Ian wanted to go to sea to find a cure for Kuina, but that time, Koshiro stopped him. Koshiro is absolutely worried about a 16-year-old boy going out to sea alone.
But now two years later, Ian brings up the old matter again, this time he has already made a decision, even if Koshiro objects, he doesn't care so much.
However, the strange thing is that Koshiro did not object after hearing this, but just sighed and said: "Ian, you know? I have always regarded you as my real child. The reason why I didn't want Kuina to inherit the dojo , besides she is a girl, but also because I actually want you to inherit the dojo."
Ian didn't speak, just looked at Koshiro quietly.
"It's just that over the years, I have also seen clearly that your heart is not in Shuangyue Village!" Koshiro continued: "A boy is a boy, even if he is here, his heart is longing for the outside world."
"I'm sorry, Master!" Ian bowed his head and apologized.
"No need to say I'm sorry!" Koshiro said with a smile: "I know very well that in such an era, there is no power that can stop a man from going to sea, so you can go if you want, you have your own path to go."
"Yeah!" Ian nodded.
"Has the time been decided?" Koshiro asked.
"It's tomorrow!" Ian said.
"So urgent?" Koshiro was a little surprised.
"The sooner the better!" Ian also smiled, and said, "Guina must be in a hurry after sleeping for so long."
Ian made up his mind to go to sea as soon as possible. First, he wanted to find a way to cure Kuina. Second, he also wanted to try to see if he could find a devil fruit for Kuina.
In a coma, Guina naturally couldn't exercise. With her strong personality, if she really woke up and saw that she had widened the gap with Sauron, she might not be able to accept it no matter what? As an older brother, Ian naturally has to consider for his younger sister. Devil fruit is undoubtedly the best shortcut to become stronger, but I don't know if Kuina can accept it.
In fact, during these six years, Ian also tried to contact Evakov again, but the strange thing is that Evakov was unable to contact him.
Reminiscent of what Evakov said last time about his time in the Kingdom of Kamabaka, Ian suddenly recalled that in this timeline, Evakov seemed to be arrested by the navy! And he was imprisoned in the undersea prison of Pushing City on the charge of "unnecessary" crimes... There is no hope at all.
Koshiro knew about Ian's desire to find a devil fruit for Kuina. Ian mentioned it in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. In his opinion, devil fruits are all evil ways! The only thing a swordsman can really rely on is his own sword.
But this was Ian's kindness, and Koshiro would not object, he just asked, "What about the boat? What about the boat?"
"I found Uncle Hull in the village! I asked for his old fishing boat!" Ian said with a smile, "Uncle Hull is a good man. charts."
"The situation at sea is unpredictable, so be careful when you are alone!" Koshiro exhorted.
Regarding this, Ian is not too worried. He is now a child who grew up by the sea, so his water skills are good. Even if he encounters wind and waves at sea, he still has the ability to protect himself.
"Since you have decided, then go!" Koshiro said: "Go alone, I will not see you off!"
He didn't send himself off because he was afraid of the sadness of parting. Ian naturally understood this and didn't say anything. He just bent down and kowtowed to Koshiro, then got up and walked out of the dojo.
The next day, at the seaside of Frost Moon Village.
Master Koshiro didn't come, but there were still many people who saw him off. Except for Sauron, all the other juniors in the dojo also came.
These snotty-nosed children have gradually grown up, and their image has improved a lot, and they look much more pleasing to the eye.
"Senior Brother Yi'an, you have to remember to come back and see us!"
"Senior Brother Yi'an, we will miss you!"
The younger juniors gathered around Ian, yelling at one another, but this did not change, the youngest junior was even about to cry.
Although Ian usually has a dark belly, he often plays pranks on Sauron, such as fooling him, fooling him, fooling him, but he is very good to this group of juniors. When Kuina couldn't wake up, he took over. Kuina cares about the responsibility of the juniors, so now that Ian is going to sea, the juniors are naturally reluctant to give up on him.
Ian patted them on the shoulder reassuringly, and sighed in his heart. If there is no system, with his aptitude, he is estimated to be similar to this group of young juniors. Looking at them is like seeing someone from 10 years ago. the same as myself.
Sensing a gaze, Ian turned his head and found Sauron standing aside with his arms folded.
Zoro was almost 9 years old when he first came to the dojo. He fought against Kuina for a year and earned a record of 2001 defeats and 0 wins. Now another six years have passed, and he is also 16 years old. Today's He already had the prototype of Suo Da, a head of green algae, which was still so conspicuous. When this guy's hair grew, he shaved it with a knife, so the mess was like a dog chewing on it. He changed the Taoist uniform of the dojo, He put on a short-sleeved T-shirt with a waist around his waist and three long swords. The only good thing is that he didn't wear earrings at this time, probably because he was worried that Master Koshiro would scold him.
Seeing Ian looking over, the guy snorted, turned his head away, and ignored Ian.
"What a fart!" Ian couldn't help laughing and said, "I said I won't take you there!"
Sauron, when he knew that Ian was going to go to sea, he clamored to go with Ian, but Master Koshiro didn't allow it, just like when Ian was not allowed to go to sea in advance, Master Koshiro was also worried that Sauron was too old. Little, Ian naturally obeyed Koshiro's words, so he rejected Sauron's request to travel together.
Just because of this, Sauron was already angry last night.
Walking to his side, Ian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wait a little longer, I'll go to sea to find a way to heal Kuina first, if I haven't come back after two years, then you can go to sea by yourself!"
"Whispering! I don't need you to tell me!" Sauron still turned his head away from Ian, but said, "It's you, if Kuina wakes up during this period, don't blame me for speaking ill of you!"
"Ha! Tell me what you want!" Ian blinked at him: "Don't forget, I am Kuina's brother, and you are her opponent. Who do you think she will believe?"
After finishing speaking, Ian held down the bear ear hat that was about to be blown up by the wind with one hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm leaving!"
"Wait!" Sauron's voice came and stopped him, then reached out and handed over a long knife with a white scabbard, turned his head and said: "This is the word Hedao, why don't you take it !"
He said it was great, but in fact he was also worried about himself? Otherwise, why would you want to bring yourself a good knife
Ian smiled, but did not take it, and said: "No need, this knife is not suitable for me, you should keep it, and when Kuina wakes up, you can return it to her!"
Walking to the shore, Ian untied the cable and threw it into the boat, then pushed the small fishing boat, ran hard for two steps, pushed the boat into the sea, and jumped aboard.
"Goodbye, I'm leaving!" Ian waved to everyone on the shore.
Amidst the reluctant farewell of the crowd, I picked up the oars, rowed the boat, and drifted away...
