Chapter 149: Scarlett's Struggle
Kizaru appeared from the golden light with his hands in his trouser pockets.
He Looked at King Riku and a familiar-looking figure.
And then looked at Vineman Togo and the golden-bearded Hulder who were bound with handcuffs next to them.
Kizaru stretched out a hand and scratched his cheek.
After all, he was preparing to show up handsomely to save the situation, but looking at the scene it seems it was already over.
This is really embarrassing.
However, with Kizaru's thick skin, he remained calm under the gaze of everyone.
"No, you came just in time!"
Seeing Kizaru coming, King Riku hasn't spoken yet.
Unohana Retsu spoke first, with a smiling face.
"Is it the legendary swordsman Yachiru Unohana Retsu? I've heard of your name for a long time!"
At this time, Kizaru had also remembered the identity of the familiar figure in front of him.
After all, he had just read the newspaper yesterday, so he wouldn't forget it so easily.
And it seems the marines still owe her a lot of money!
I really met a creditor!
"There is no need to say it. After all, I just became famous recently!"
After hearing what Unohana Retsu said, Kizaru was immediately at a loss.
Do you need to refute such polite words?
It seems that it is not as easy to get along with as it looks!
"Vice Admiral Kizaru, these two pirates are now handed over to your marines. You Marines must give me my money in the future! Don't try to cause any unpleasant incidents!"
So you were waiting here!
Do you want to warn me? But the bounty issue is not my responsibility!
I am still waiting for the headquarters to pay me my salary!
"I understand! You're so famous that even our marines don't want to offend you! So don't worry!"
On the surface, Kizaru still nodded in agreement.
If something really goes wrong, it should be Fleet-Admiral Kong's problem and not his responsibility.
"Great, then here's another question!"
Looking at Unohana Retsu's smiling face, Kizaru suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Excuse me, what is it?"
"I heard that Vice Admiral Kizaru's swordsmanship is pretty good. I hope Vice Admiral Kizaru can spar with me!"
Where did this rumor come from? Isn't this a false accusation? He doesn't know swordsmanship at all!
The swordsmanship he used in the Heinous War against the Scythe of Despair Gabaisho was regarded as inferior swordsmanship by him.
This is a low-level sword technique certified by top swordsmen.
Who is framing him?
"Well, can I refuse? I don't know any sword skills!"
Kizaru could sense that the woman in front of him was not simple.
He really didn't want to fight with the great swordsman, especially such a great swordsman whose background was unknown.
Although she says it's just a sparring match, once they start fighting, who cares whether it's just a sparring match or not?
His chest is still aching! That guy Gabaisho had really hit him hard!
Kizaru really doesn't want to fight her!
If the great swordsman in front of him attacked the wound that had just healed.
Then after the sparring.
I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well at night!
"I'm afraid this is something we can't refuse! Shouldn't a duel between swordsmen be more sacred? What do you think, Vice Admiral Kizaru!"
But the problem is that he is not really a swordsman.
His swordsmanship is not even pure.
There is no will to speak of!!
This shouldn't be attractive to a great swordsman!
Is the woman in front of him deliberately picking on him?
"You two, can you please put aside the sparring for now? There are still pirates roaming around the island! On behalf of the citizens of Dressrosa, I would like to express my gratitude!"
King Riku has been unable to intervene since just now..
At this moment he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"It looks like the situation is critical! It is my duty to wipe out the pirates. So, great swordsman Yachiru, let's talk about sparring next time!"
Hearing King Riku's words, Kizaru took over his conversation.
He didn't wait for King Riku to say it again.
Then he turned into a flash of light and flew towards the bottom of the King's Highlands, with no intention of waiting for Unohana Retsu to reply.
Seeing Kizaru leave in such a hurry, Unohana Retsu also lost interest in taking action.
This Marine has no fighting spirit at all, so it would be very boring to cut him down.
She looked at King Riku next to her.
Under the arrangement of King Riku, Unohana Retsu began to tour Dressrosa Island as a VIP.
They fought non-stop for many days without stopping.
Although the fight was fun, she wanted to go back to that place and beat up that guy even more!
He didn't even give her a gift!
She wants to achieve some results as soon as possible and go back earlier!
Then she will let him understand that women always like to hold grudges very much!
But now.
In this place that looks perfect for a vacation, Unohana Retsu wants to spend a day or two here to soothe her nerves first.
soon.
Scarlett, the princess of the Riku royal family, volunteered to be Unohana Retsu's tour guide.
As the great swordsman Unohana Retsu is the benefactor of the Dressrosa Kingdom, Scarlett naturally wants to treat her well.
At the same time, she also admired Unohana Retsu's heroic performance on the battlefield.
An impulse surged in her heart, maybe she could do it too!
Time passes slowly.
One day later.
Peace has basically returned to the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
After all, those pirates went straight to King's Highlands when they arrived.
As far as domestic towns are concerned, the damage is not too serious.
The pirates who were behind were able to escape.
Because Kizaru did not destroy all the pirate ships on the shore!
If everything was destroyed, it would be fine if the number of pirates was small, but the Extremely Evil Fleet had several thousand members.
With their ships damaged, they can only wander around the country, which is much more dangerous.
So Kizaru even gave them a little hope.
Of course, most of the pirates were captured in the end, and only a few ships escaped from the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
This rescue operation was a complete success.
The other side.
In a flower field in King's Highlands.
Unohana Retsu looked at the somewhat stubborn girl in front of her and spoke gently.
"So, you plan to take me as your master, is that what you mean, Scarlett?"
Hearing Unohana Retsu's words, Scarlett mustered up her courage and nodded.
"Do you know what you are talking about? You grew up in the royal family, never suffered, never learned swordsmanship, and have no strength at all. You would probably panic when you see blood. With these conditions, you still want to learn swordsmanship?"
Unohana Retsu in front of her still had a smile on her face, but the words she said were very cruel.
"I, I..."
After hearing Unohana Retsu's words, the girl suddenly felt as if she was being a little wishful thinking.
"I really want to try! Please! Unohana-sama!"
Scarlett lowered her head. She didn't dare to look directly into Unohana Retsu's eyes. She was afraid that the last bit of her courage would disappear.
Looking at the girl who was lowering her head in front of him, Unohana Retsu turned around and looked at the golden flower field in front of her.
"It's actually quite good for you to be here!"
After hearing Unohana Retsu's words, Scarlett felt depressed. Was she being rejected?
"I can give you a chance!"
But soon Scarlett's mood rose from hell to heaven.
But before she could get excited.
Unohana Retsu's words the next second made her struggle in her heart.
"Don't you have a famous colosseum here? It's very simple. As long as you win a real fight there, I will accept you!"
