Reunion with Kuina

Good heavens!

Wow!

Even Lin Yan couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise the moment she saw the sword in the girl's hand suddenly disappear.

Of course, this doesn't mean the girl's swordsmanship was particularly outstanding.

Possessing the bug of Infinite Martial Arts, she arrived in the Divine Realm in human form. There is no combat technique in this world that Lin Yan cannot see through.

But the problem is...

He was very familiar with this thing!

This technology that can unleash tremendous power in an instant, isn't that...?

Swish----!

Lin Yan acted decisively, suddenly raising her wrist and, under the girl's astonished gaze, once again clamping down on the blade.

Immediately, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"You actually used what I taught you to fight me? That's truly betraying your teacher and ancestors. Come to think of it, such a coincidence really does happen in this world?"

"Kuina, you've really improved!"

Lin Yan laughed, somewhat speechless.

Yes, the girl in front of you is definitely Kuina!

That unique fighting style, and the technique of boosting power through bursts of energy, were all things Lin Yan had taught Kuina.

If you still can't recognize it, then there's really no hope for you.

"..."

However, Kuina was stunned.

To be fair, she was simply traveling, hoping to improve her swordsmanship, and her arrival at the Sabaody Archipelago was merely an accident.

And so, there they found Lin Yan, the newly crowned World's Greatest Swordsman.

As a swordswoman, Kuina naturally rushed forward to challenge them without hesitation.

To fulfill that promise.

She herself wanted to see just how much of a gap there was between her and the World's Greatest Swordsman.

Unexpectedly...

"Teacher?!"

Looking at the smiling man in front of her, Kuina's heart began to pound wildly.

However, the girl hadn't lost her temper yet, and quickly gritted her teeth and calmed down.

"How are you going to prove it!"

Kuina stared intently at Lin Yan and asked.

Given that her teacher was around the same age as Lin Yan now when she left, it's understandable that Kuina would have doubts.

Moreover, the man in front of her had only risen to fame in recent years, something that Kuina, who had been traveling since setting sail, was well aware of.

"I remember leaving you a crystal when I left?"

Then Lin Yan smiled and said to Kuina.

Seeing the girl's eyes suddenly tremble, Lin Yan smiled and shook her head once again.

"Of course, this is definitely not enough to prove anything. How about this... Kuina, take a look at this!"

As he spoke.

Lin Yan's aura suddenly erupted.

Boom----!

If Lin Yan's aura was that of an ordinary person when she stood there before, now she is like a legendary ghost or god, making people tremble at the mere sight of her.

The Asura Path!

It was precisely what he taught Kuina!

Unleashing one's potential and exchanging immense physical exertion for incredible power is a highly dangerous and brutal combat technique.

Kuina was all too familiar with this kind of aura!

"It really is a teacher!"

After witnessing this scene, Kuina finally had no more doubts. Without hesitation, she took off her mask and rushed towards Lin Yan.

After removing her mask, Kuina's pretty face was revealed. Over the years, she had grown into a young woman, and both her appearance and strength had improved significantly. However, her behavior was still no different from when she first got along with Lin Yan.

She had been looking forward to this moment for far too long.

Since Lin Yan left.

Kuina had been training her swordsmanship relentlessly, and as a prodigy, her progress was naturally remarkable.

Finally, a few years ago, Kuina gained Koushirou's recognition and permission to embark on a small boat to begin her sea training and challenge the world's most powerful swordsmen.

However, he is different from Zoro later on.

Kuina did not choose to join any faction. Instead, like many swordsmen, she relied on her strong personal abilities to travel around and hone her skills, constantly making herself stronger.

The girls who have grown up now have embarked on the path of pursuing their dreams.

Moreover, due to Kuina's exceptional talent, she has made a name for herself on her own in recent years.

Of course, it's still far behind Lin Yan.

"Teacher! Where have you been all these years? Why are you still the same as before, as if you just appeared out of nowhere?"

Just like before, she snuggled against Lin Yan's chest for a while without any restraint Kuina curiously raising her head and asking.

The teacher in front of me was as mysterious as ever.

Kuina never expected this.

The fifth emperor who has risen to prominence on the high seas in recent years, and the soul of the Whitebeard Pirates, is actually the teacher he has been searching for for so long.

This surprise is a bit too much!

And just like when she suddenly appeared at her own dojo, she just appeared out of nowhere and then reached the top. Kuina was really curious about where Lin Yan had gone during the years she had disappeared.

Why can't I find it no matter what I do?

And that is a question that is destined to remain unanswered.

It just suddenly appeared out of nowhere...

"Kuina, how's Koushirou doing?"

Instead of answering Kuina's various questions, Lin Yan changed the subject and asked about Koushirou's current situation.

"Well... everything is fine with Father. I write home from time to time, just like always."

Although she was quite unhappy with Lin Yan's behavior of changing the subject, Kuina still answered honestly.

Even in this day and age, the seas are incredibly turbulent.

But there are still many people in this world who live peaceful and law-abiding lives.

Moreover, a small town has a swordsman like Koushirou in charge.

It's unlikely that any problems will arise.

Sensing that Lin Yan didn't seem to want to discuss these matters, Kuina obediently recounted the situation in her hometown and then didn't press the issue of what happened after Lin Yan's disappearance.

For her...

Being able to reunite with my long-lost teacher here is already enough to make me happy.

The other Kuina didn't want to think too much about it either.

However, Kuina, who was initially quite emotional due to her reunion with Lin Yan, quickly calmed down and couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.

"Teacher... now that you are the World's Greatest Swordsman, what about our agreement?"

"..."
