The Super Card System
Chapter 20

Ian and Zoro, who had always believed that Kuina would wake up, did not expect it to take long.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, six years had passed. After all this time, Kuina was still unconscious.

Other than not being able to wake up, his body continued to grow. Lying on the ground, she became a slim beautiful girl. Since almost everyone in the dojo was male, Mr. Koshiro felt it was insecure to let them take care of Kuina, so he specifically invited an aunt from the village to take care of her, feed and care for it every day.

Every day, Ian and Zoro took the time to talk to Kuina, especially Zoro, constantly telling her how much stronger they were each day, trying to stimulate her to wake up. However, they did not know why he did not wake up, perhaps the intensity of the stimulation was not enough. Although his eyes would have some movement every time he heard this topic, he could not really get up.

Zoro works harder and harder every day. It seemed that he wanted to use this means to reduce the deep anxiety in his heart.

He even takes Ichimonji Wado from Master Koshiro and begins his Santoryu path. She believes that since Kuina can't exercise now, it's up to her to keep going and achieve their dreams together.

What about Ian?

Ian was sitting in the dojo at the moment, face to face with Mr. Koshiro.

In the last six years, Ian has been growing. His long-term training gave him a straight and strong figure. Now he was 18 years old, 182 centimeters tall, with long black hair, tied a ponytail behind his head, his face was calm, and his mouth often showed a somewhat dashing smile, just like Mr. Koshiro.

For many years, the most influential person for Ian, of course, was Koshiro, who was a teacher and a father to him. So it's no surprise that he's almost like her.

However, Koshiro today also had a lot of white hair, although his reception was already as moderate as water, Kuina's situation still made him feel a little more anxious.

Old tea cups filled with fresh hot water. The tea leaves are stretched at a suitable temperature to form a beautiful green. Kuina was in a coma, and every day during the day, bringing Master tea had become one of the things Ian had to do.

When the tea cup is lifted, the foam is gently exhaled. After Ian took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Master, I want to go to sea!"

To Ian's words, Koshiro was not surprised. He smiled and said, “If I remember correctly, that's what you said two years ago. ”

Indeed, he wanted to say that Ian was not like Zoro, even two years ago, Ian wanted to go out to sea to find a cure for Kuina, but at that moment, Koshiro stopped him. The young man who was only 16 years old, wanted to go alone to the sea, but Koshiro was not at all comfortable with that.

Now two years later, Ian once again mentions that old story. This time he had made a decision, even if Koshiro objected, he would not take it into account and would only do as he wished.

However, the strange thing was that Koshiro did not mind after listening. He just sighed: “Ian, did you know? I've always thought of you as my biological son. The reason why I don't want Kuina to inherit the dojo is that other than being a girl, I actually want you to inherit the dojo. ”

Ian did not speak, he just continued to stare at Koshiro calmly.

"But over the years, I've seen clearly that your mind is not in the Frost Moon Village!" Koshiro continued: "Boy is a boy, even if your body is here, but your soul longs for the outside world. ”

"Gomen'nasai (sorry), Sensei!" Ian lowered his head and apologized.

“Do not apologize!” Koshiro laughed and said, “I know very well that in such an era, there is no power that will prevent a man from going to the sea, so if you want to go, there is no power that will prevent a man from going to the sea, I'm not going to go stop you from leaving. ”

"Hey. Ian nodded.

"Is the time decided?" Ask Koshiro.

"Tomorrow!" Ian said seriously.

"so urgent?" Koshiro was surprised.

"The sooner, the better!" Ian smiled, "Kuina has slept for so long, so I have to leave as soon as possible. ”

Ian decided to go to sea as soon as possible. First, he wanted to find a way to cure Kuina. Second, he wanted to try and see if he could find a Devil Fruit for her.

In her unconscious situation, Kuina was naturally unable to exercise. With her strong personality, if she wakes up and sees that there is a big gap between her and Zoro, she is afraid that she cannot accept it as well. Ian, who was his brother, certainly needed to consider for his sister. The demon fruit was undoubtedly the best way to become stronger, but he did not know if Kuina would accept it.

In fact, in these six years, Ian had also tried to contact Ivankov again, but strangely, he was unable to contact him.

Recalling what Ivankov said last time that he had some affairs in the Kingdom of Kamabakka, Ian suddenly recalled that in this timeline, Ivankov seems to have been captured by the Marines! And with unreasonable reason, he was imprisoned in Impel.

Ian wanted to find the Devil Fruit for Kuina, Koshiro knew that, and Ian mentioned it before, but Koshiro did not take it seriously. In his opinion, the Devil Fruit was evil! The only thing a swordsman could truly rely on was his own sword.

“I found Uncle Hull in the village! He'll give you his old fishing boat! "Ian smiled and said," Uncle Hull is a good man. He did not want to take my money, and he gave me a map of the nearby islands. ”

“The sea is unpredictable. You have to be careful when you are alone! ”Koshiro warned.

For this, Ian wasn't worried, he was a kid growing by the sea, so he was good with sea water. Even if he was facing the wind and waves, he had the ability to protect himself.

"Now that you have made your decision, go ahead!" Koshiro said: "I'll leave you alone, I won't send you out!"

He didn't want to accompany her to the beach because he might not be able to bear the grief brought by the farewell, Ian of course understood this and said nothing. He simply leaned over, and gently touched the ground with his forehead, then got up and walked out of the dojo.

The next day, by the beach.

Mr. Koshiro did not come, but there were still many people who came to see him before he left. Except for Zoro, all the other teachers and young disciples in the dojo came.

These muscular children had grown up, their image had improved tremendously, and they looked more pleasant.

"Sister Ian, remember to come back and see us!"

"Brother, we will miss you!"

The younger brothers surrounded Ian and shouted, this has not changed much. The youngest one even cried.

Although Ian was usually a black-bellied person, he often toyed with Zoro, such as fooling him, flicking him, hitting him, but he was very kind to these young disciples. It was true that Kuina was in a coma, but she took over her responsibility to take care of these young disciples, and now Ian went overboard, so they were naturally reluctant to hand her over.

Ian patted them comfortably on the shoulder and felt****** in his heart. If not for his system, with his qualifications, it was thought that he was now similar to these young disciples. Seeing them was like seeing himself before he was 10 years old.

Feeling the gaze, Ian turned around and found Zoro standing at the side with his arms crossed.

When Zoro first came to the Dojo, he was almost nine years old. He fought against Kuina for a year, setting a record without a win and losing 2001. Six years later, he was 16. Now that he already had his famous appearance style, the head of the green algae was still very striking. This man's hair is long and shaved by his own sword, so messy as ** * *. He replaced his Keikogi with a short-sleeved T-shirt, and three long swords were placed on his waist. The only good thing was that he was not wearing earrings at that time. He was afraid that Mr. Koshiro would scold him.

When Ian looked up, the man hummed, turned his head and ignored Ian.

"Hey, Son!" Ian could not help but laugh and said, "You know that I don't want to go out without you, but I'm powerless!"

Zoro knew that Ian was going to the sea, so he insisted on going with Ian, but Mr. Koshiro refused. Just as Ian was not allowed to go to sea early, Mr. Koshiro was afraid that Zoro was too young. Ian naturally obeyed Koshiro's words, so he rejected Zoro's request to travel together.

For this reason, Zoro was angry all night.

When he came to her, Ian patted her on the shoulder and said, “You should wait a little longer. I will go to the sea first to find a way to cure Kuina. If I haven't returned in two years, then you can go to the sea by yourself. ”

"Length wide! You don't have to say it, I know it! "Zoro turned his head away from Ian and said, "That's you. If Kuina wakes up all this time, don't blame me for saying bad things about you! ”

"Ha! Tell me what you want! ”Ian blinked his eyes. “Don't forget, I'm Kuina's sister, and you're her opponent. Who do you think he'll trust? ”

Afterwards, Ian pressed down on the earplugs of his bear that were about to be blown up by the wind, and smiled: "OK, I have to go now!"

"Wait!" Zoro's voice came and stopped him. Then he grabbed it and handed him the long sword with a white sheath. He turned his head around and said, "This is Ichimonji's Wado, you must take him!"

It was a difficult thing to say, but was he really worried about her? Why else would he want to give her such a fine sword?

Ian smiled but did not accept it. “No, this sword does not suit me. You should keep it. When Kuina wakes up, you have to give it back! ”

When he reached the beach, Ian untied the rope and threw it into the boat. Then he pushed a small fishing boat into the sea and then jumped in.

"Goodbye, I'm leaving!" Ian waved to the people on the beach.

With the voices of reluctant people, Ian raised the oar and rowed the boat further and further until the boat was just a tiny speck before disappearing from their eyes …

Then the Sea King appeared and killed Ian.
