"Men, hurry up and get moving! This time, I want the Silver Hair's Wanted Poster and our news to reach the whole world as quickly as possible."

At Big News Morgans's command, the entire Newspaper Office sprang into action.

Not long after.

One by one, newsbirds, carrying freshly printed news destined to shock the world, fly to all corners of the globe.

Chapter 59 If you listen to too much motivational talk, you'll learn it yourself.

Loguetown.

Pier.

Silence reigned.

Bite--!

The tense and quiet atmosphere suddenly relaxed, making one involuntarily swallow hard.

"If you want my sword, you'll at least have the strength to match it!"

Kuina twirled her sword with her right hand before sheathing it. "With your current strength, how can you take my sword from me?"

She didn't even glance at Tashigi, strolling past her towards Smoker.

She now has only one goal: to fight against the strong and reach the Great Swordsman as soon as possible.

Tashigi stood frozen in place until Kuina walked past her, at which point she relaxed.

"Phew~"

In the instant the blade came at her, the fear of death was like Black Hole, sucking her entire being in.

Now that death was gone, her tense mind relaxed, and her whole body went limp to the ground like mud.

Tashigi, are you alright?

A navy officer saw Tashigi lying on the ground and quickly went over to help her up, but she refused.

"I'm fine."

She Guotou to look at Kuina's retreating figure and shouted angrily, "Blue Hair Kuina, why didn't you strike? Just because I'm an ordinary person, and a woman at that, and naturally weaker than monsters like you, you can hold back in a duel? That's too humiliating for me!"

"Oh..."

Kuina stopped and turned to look at Tashigi, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

This personality is somewhat similar to hers when she was little!

Could they really be her relative?

She quickly dismissed the thought.

"Impossible."

She stared at Tashigi and coldly uttered some cruel words.

"How pitiful!"

"The weak."

"Right now, you can't even choose how to die!"

"To achieve your goal, you'll have to work ten thousand times harder!"

Tashigi stubbornly stood up, walked to Shigure's side, and with a "clang," drew her sword.

"I practice swordsmanship not for fun."

"I've been working hard, working hard, working hard to practice!"

She raised her hand, pointing the knife at Kuina, and shouted, "It's true I'm weak, but how can you people who are born strong understand the perseverance of ordinary people like us?"

"And you monsters, do you really think you're strong?"

Don't be too self-important

For that reason!

"My beliefs can't be dispelled by a few words from you!"

With that, she roared and charged towards Kuina.

Kuina's sarcastic remark, clearly mocking the weak, thoroughly enraged Tashigi.

Kuina was taken aback as she watched Tashigi rush towards her.

They look so alike!

Even she herself thought the person on the other end was herself.

Tashigi's personality is exactly the same as it was a few years ago.

Then a flash of anger crossed her eyes, and she quickly turned around, drawing her sword to block Tashigi's attack.

Clang--!

Kuina looked at the face so close to hers and shouted.

"You not only imitate my face, but you even imitate my personality."

"Who's imitating you? I've always looked like this since I was a child. If anyone's imitating someone, it's you imitating me!"

"What?"

"Do you really want to die, woman?"

Kuina pushed Tashigi aside with her right hand, then quickly swung her sword downwards with a clang, sending Shigure flying for the second time.

"And also, stop mimicking how I talk, especially how I sounded when I was little!"

"You made me feel ashamed for a moment, you know?"

She then quickly sheathed her sword, took a few steps forward, and instantly closed in, standing in front of Tashigi.

Then he grabbed Tashigi by the collar, pulled her upwards, and threw her over his shoulder.

Bang--!

Tashigi lay on the ground, stunned by Kuina's series of actions.

Before she could even react, Kuina straddled her, grabbed her collar, and pulled her head close to her face.

Kuina, her face grim, stared into Tashigi's eyes and said loudly, "What's wrong with the woman? Tell me what's wrong with the woman."

Tashigi snapped out of her daze, staring at Kuina with a stubborn look in her eyes.

"You and I both know that unless a woman is born with a superior physique, she can never surpass a man in strength."

Who told you that?

"Am I not a woman?"

Am I not strong enough?

Kuina lowered her head, her forehead touching Tashigi's, and shouted angrily, "Who told you that women are necessarily inferior to men?"

"Since you know you can't beat them, then catch up a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

Stop wallowing in self-pity.

"Kuina!"

Seeing that Kuina's mood was a bit off, Kuta couldn't help but call out.

Kuina raised her head and put away

His face was filled with anger as he looked at Kuta, a smile playing on his lips.

"Don't worry, Kuta, I'm fine."

Tashigi really provoked her, especially since this guy looked exactly like her.

Although she hasn't cared much about the distinction between men and women over the years, she still sometimes can't help but feel inferior to men, and these thoughts suddenly pop up.

In fact, when she left Shimotsuki Village, she already knew that Zoro had surpassed her in strength.

To be honest, even though she knew this day would come, she still felt a little resentful about it.

Zoro is a year younger than her, and their training is similar, yet he's already surpassed her in strength. After that...

She shook her head.

I stopped thinking about it.

Kuta is right. Power is something that's easy to obtain.

It all depends on your choice. Since you've chosen this path, go forward without hesitation and make sure every day is worthwhile.

If you can surpass your previous self every day, then every day is actually your strongest moment.

This ever-accumulating power will one day enable you to realize your dreams.

Um!

This is definitely a piece of inspirational wisdom from Kuta.

He's given so many inspirational quotes over the years, so many that he can't even remember them all.

Kuina loosened her grip, releasing Tashigi's collar, and looked down at Tashigi, speaking softly.

"I was once devastated by the fact that I wasn't a boy, but once I overcame that thought, I became stronger."

"Although women may not be as strong as men, there is another kind of strength that is certainly no less than that of men."

That is the power of will.

As she spoke, she stood up, walked past Tashigi, and headed back towards Smoker.

"Man, you can lose everything, but you can't lose faith in the future. I feel your determination. I hope that one day you can come before me and take my knife again."

"And I will remain as the strongest female Swordmaster, awaiting every opponent who dares to challenge me."

As she spoke, she paused in her steps.

"And another thing! I'm not some monster born with a superhuman physique. Saying that makes all my hard work over the past ten years seem like I'm a fool!"

"And another thing! Don't try to fit your own life into someone else's!"

"I'm also pursuing my own dreams, and I've never stopped!"

Chapter 60 Logia Ability Users

"Smoker, the White Hunter, the final opponent on the journey to the Grand Line."

Kuina walked to within four or five meters of Smoker and shouted, "Please use all your strength and decide with me, or people will die!"

This was something she and Kuta had agreed upon beforehand; Smoker is Logia Fruit user with the "Smoke- Smoke-Smoke Fruit" ability.

Fighting against Logia not only allows you to gain experience but also trains your Observation Haki.

She had just received some Haki and advanced training techniques from Kuta and had been wanting to try them out for a long time.

Smoker glanced at Tashigi, then looked up at Kuina.

The veins on his forehead were bulging.

"One or two of them don't take him seriously at all."

"Does he really think he gave himself the title of 'White Hunter'?"

He glanced at Kuta.

"Don't worry! I won't get involved."

Kuta leaned against his Motorcycle, picked up his Wine Gourd, and took a swig.

"Um..."

He tilted his head back, held the Wine Gourd upside down, shook it up and down, and then a drop, two drops, were gone.

"Ugh! I feel terrible."
