The Super Card System
Chapter 16

That night was the night of the full moon, the bright moonlight spread across the earth, making everything seem so different. In the vast grassland outside the village, Zoro and Kuina stared at each other holding their swords.

In the forest not far away, Ian continued to watch the scene.

The duel finally began. From Ian's point of view, the round moon was only the background of the duel. Under the moonlight, the two figures intertwined, slashing and attacking each other with their swords, their swords continuously slashing in a rhythmic pattern that created the sight of the dancing blades, and the, and there's a strange aesthetic feeling.

However, this time the two gifted children in the duel understood that the battle was actually very dangerous. The bamboo sword was replaced by an extremely sharp sword. If they are not careful, they may get serious injuries or possible death.

Perhaps this was why the fight between the two became more cautious and more serious.

Struggling for dozens of rounds, Zoro had been panting heavily, his greatest achievement only cutting off a bundle of Kuina hair. On the contrary, Kuina was not too tired.

“It was heavy to fight with two real swords, wasn't it? Zoro! "Kuina continued to interview him and said, "You are still very weak! "

After hearing it, Zoro yelled in disbelief and attacked Kuina, but she deliberately provoked him. The flaw was revealed again. Kuina rushed over as she lowered her body and made a punch over, hitting two of Zoro's swords and making him fly!

Suddenly he was thrown by the troops, Zoro fell backwards, and his sword turned around and fell beside Zoro's ear.

"You're losing again! 0 wins and 2001 losses! ”Kuina laughs.

Lying on the ground, Zoro muffled his face and growled, “Damn it! Shit!"

He lost again. He was so unwilling to lose, and he almost cried.

However, Kuina looked at him silently and suddenly said, "I don't want to cry …"

Zoro let go of his hand and looked on in surprise, he saw tears in Kuina's eyes, and he felt lonely and said, "When a girl grows up, she will be weaker than a boy. Look at Big Brother Ian, you can see that he has not tried to compete with me for a long time. It's not that he won't, but I don't want to compete with him, because I know he might be stronger than me right now. ”

“You too, Zoro! You'll catch up with me as well … "

Kuina looked at the sky and tried not to let her tears fall. "My father told me that women cannot be the strongest swordsmen in the world, I understand .. I've known that for a long time!"

"Hey Zoro, since you are a man .. I also want to become the strongest swordsman in the world, but ..." Kuina put her hand on her chest. "I'm growing too!"

Zoro blushed when he saw this sight.

"If, if I could be a man too .." Kuina lowered her head, and her unwilling tears finally flowed down.

Then Zoro reluctantly and shouted, “Don't whine when you've defeated me! That's too evil. You are my goal. Whatever man or woman, when I hit you one day, will you use this as an excuse !? I don't seem to win with my own strength. Am I not an idiot who works so hard? "

"Zoro ..." Kuina looked at him in surprise.

“Stop saying that!” Zoro went to Kuina and said, “ Promise me that one day you or I, one of us, should become the strongest swordsman in the world! Let's compare and see who can be the One! ”

Kuina looked at Zoro in a daze and found that her eyes were more serious than before.

Zoro reached out to her and gestured.

Kuina smiled, wiped her tears from her eyes and muttered, “Dumb bas! You are very weak … "

However, he extended his hand and held Zoro tightly.

Under the moonlight, this scene seemed to have frozen and become a beautiful image.

But Ian, deep in the forest, could not help covering his head and sighed, "Ah, this is young!"

What does that mean with that sentence? He remembered that day running in the sunset, which was his lost memory of his youth! That's what he's talking about now, but here the sunset is replaced by the moon …

"But, you idiot, when you two make a goal, did you forget about me?"

As an observer, Ian's mood was very complicated at the moment. Zoro and Kuina had set their goals, but what about him?

When he came to this world, he could not return. Should he continue living like this as an observer?

Ian was in a confused state, but then suddenly he found a figure walking towards him, after seeing it, Ian discovered that it was Kuina!

Ian nodded. Kuina smiled and pulled her hair into her ear, then said, “Did my father ask you to come and find me? Don'worry. I am fine . ”

Ian looked at Kuina for a while and suddenly said, "Although you have made a pact with that idiot, are you still a little unwilling?"

Kuina remained silent and turned her head away.

Ian is not as stupid as Zoro. Only he would think that a covenant would make Kuina happy.

The limitations of his body made him unlikely to be the strongest. This might be the demon in Kuina's heart. He had been bound by this idea, and his heart was not free, so what progress in swordsmanship would he make?

He knew very well that one day, he could only look at Zoro and see him defeat him so that he could feel that sense of defeat !! For Kuina's strong personality, the thought of such an image would make her feel uncomfortable like being stabbed.

To say that in the Frost Moon village, the one who knew the most about Kuina, it must be Ian, even Lord Koshiro could not compare to him!

That was why he would ask for such punishment on her.

Seeing Kuina's reaction, Ian sighed a little and said, "Follow me!"

Ian took Kuina back to the dojo and went to her room. As Kuina watched curiously, Ian carefully picked up the Den Den Mushi sleeping on the table.

After a year, this little Den Den Mushi has grown up.

If he didn't sleep, he could see that the pea-sized eyes had become a bit of an attraction for Ian. The funniest thing is that there's a little bear ear hat on his head right now! It's very similar to Ian.

And on the shell, there's now another number, 9209, which is Ian's number.

"Sister Ian, what are you doing with Den Den Mushi?" Ask Kuina.

Instead of answering him, Ian touched the little head of Den Den Mushi and said, "Kuina, do you remember that moment when you hadn't seen me all day, and when I showed up, I'm wearing this hat on my head?"

Kuina nodded, of course, she remembered.

“It was because a group of outsiders came to the village that day!” Ian said, “These people are revolutionary forces! They gave me hats, and among them, there was a very strange person! "

Kuina listened quietly to Ian's story, but she heard him suddenly change the subject and said, "Have you heard of the Devil Fruit?"

"My father told me once, but I don't really believe, is there such a thing as a Devil Fruit?" Ask Kuina.

Ian nodded and said, “Really, Frost Moon Village is very small, and the outside world is very big. This Devil Fruit really exists, and the weirdo I want to talk about is a Devil Fruit user! ”

“Name Ivankov. He has the Fruit Hormone Ability! "Ian said:" He has a strange ability to manipulate human hormones and become a man or woman freely, "

Looking at Kuina, she opened her mouth in surprise, and Ian laughed. "And the most important thing is that his ability can be applied to others!"

When she heard this, Kuina looked at Ian. He finally understood what Ian was saying.

"Yes, I drove them out of the village!" Ian nodded. “When I go, I get the number. Now that my Den Den Mushi has grown up, I can call him if ..I mean, if you really want to be a man, maybe you can talk to him, I mean, if you really want to be a man, maybe you can talk to him, and he will help you ?! “

That's right, this is the real reason why Ian asked for Ivankov's number when he left.

Seeing Kuina's silence, Ian sighed and said, "Although we are not brothers and sisters, I have always treated you as my true sister. You have the devil in your heart. If you don't release him, it will be very difficult for you to strengthen your swordsmanship. I don't want to see you drowning because of this problem, so I can only help you by finding this weird way. It may be difficult for you to accept, so it all depends on your personal desires. If you want to be a boy, go out to sea and find Ivankov. If you don't want to, keep going like this all the time. Girls can't be the strongest, I don't believe that, even though it takes a lot of hard work, there is always hope. ”

"I. .. I have to think about it!" Kuina stood up and walked towards the door.

He seemed a bit lost, and Ian's words had a significant impact on him.

Just as he was about to close the door, Ian took off Kuma's hat from his head with his right hand and showed a sweet smile to Kuina, saying, “Remember, follow your heart! Whatever decision you make, I'll support you! “

"Thank you, Oniisan!"

"Together, who made me your brother?"
