Factor in addition to Kuina.
Leno was not keen on joining the Revolutionary Army in his heart.
There are even some exclusions.
Why?
Leno didn't know either.
Presumably, the Revolutionary Army is Dragon's Revolutionary Army.
Can he replace Dragon?
Impossible!
After the Ohara incident, Dragon led the Revolutionary Army in their struggle, and no matter how hard Leno tried, he could not surpass him.
If you want to do it, you must be the first person in history!
Even being a pirate captain is better than joining the Revolutionary Army and working for others, right?
Therefore, regardless of the Marines, the Revolutionary Army, or any other forces, Leno did not want to join.
The dignified traveler still needs to work?
What a lifelong inferior!
Do princes and Admirals care about each other?
Leno made a decision.
Leno looked up, directly at Dragon, and said, "I'm sorry!"
"I'm in the dojo, and I still have a lot to learn. I have no plans to go to sea within a year."
Dragon and Koushirou couldn't help but look at him.
Refused?
Today's young people, who can bear it when they hear that they can go to sea and head for the Grand Line?
Moreover, Leno's words were obviously well thought out.
Such a calm expression, without arrogance or rashness, made the people in the hall feel admiration.
Dragon was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "Well, I hope to hear your name on the Grand Line!"
"Yes!" Leno said.
Ivankov leaned forward.
"Oh, so ambitious, Leno-boy! The Grand Line isn't East Blue—it's full of monsters!"
Leno laughed, "A monster? I'm looking forward to it!"
"Hee-haw, what a surge of masculinity, Leno-boy! When you come to the Grand Line, be sure to visit the Kingdom of Kamabakka!"
He took out a transparent glass ball from his pocket and handed it to Leno.
"This is the eternal pointer to the Kamabakka Kingdom. Keep it safe. You can find us by relying on it."
Dragon glanced at him.
It is a very dangerous thing to hand over the permanent pointer of one's own country to a young man you just met.
However, Dragon knew Ivankov's idea was to save a chance to recruit Leno in the future.
Into the Grand Line's Leno.
Maybe change your mind now?
Leno did not refuse, took the eternal pointer, and looked through it curiously.
There is a non-moving magnet pointer inside, no matter how he flips it, one end of the pointer never changes.
It's amazing.
Leno actually wanted to fight Ivankov, but time did not allow them to leave as soon as possible.
Every minute the Revolutionary Army stayed, the dojo became more dangerous.
His fight with Dragon had alarmed the people in the village. Fortunately, the Shimotsuki family had enough prestige here.
In the middle of the night, the Revolutionary Army left with food and medicine.
The clouds dissipated, and the moonlight was exceptionally clear.
"This is my father, Kozaburo!"
Koushirou introduced the old man to Leno.
The old man was wearing Wanokuni costumes, with a high ponytail, holding a tobacco rod made of bamboo roots, and his beard was messy and white.
Kozaburo said, "You were right not to enter the Grand Line immediately; the realm of a swordsman, you still have a lot to learn!"
"Well, yes, there is no limit to learning, and there is no limit to knowledge!" Leno nodded modestly.
Is is just the beginning.
Kozaburo and Koushirou must have a higher level of power.
Seeing him like this, Shimotsuki and his son grew more and more appreciative.
Kozaburo thought of something, and with a thought, he said, "Let me see your sword!"
Leno drew out his sword and handed it to Kozaburo.
His fingertips brushed against the blade.
The sharp blade did not hurt him at all.
The next moment, the blade was dyed a layer of black, with strands of air entwined, mysterious and dangerous.
Haki?
Leno pretended to be surprised and said, "What is this?"
Kozaburo said, "Did you feel a special power when you slashed at Dragon just now?"
Leno nodded slightly.
"Haki! It is the power you need to master next, and I will train you personally!" Kozaburo said.
Haki?
Leno didn't think so; it's more like Zoro's "ghost aura," but it's not ghost aura.
It seems to be released from the talent?
While Leno was thinking, Kozaburo briefly introduced the three kinds of Haki.
Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki!
There are three kinds of Haki, each with its own purpose, among which Armament and Observation Haki are powers contained in every human body.
As long as you keep training, you can get it.
Only Conqueror's Haki—those who must have the posture of a king—will awaken.
Leno raised his head, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, I seem to have awakened Conqueror's Haki!"
Leno knew that Kozaburo was a fierce man who forged Wado Ichimonji and Enma.
The opponent has to train in person to prove that he values himself.
Leno hopes to increase the bargaining chip so that Kozaburo can forge a sword for him.
What kind of sword will be better than one tailor-made by a famous craftsman?
"Eh?!"
Kozaburo choked on his words, his eyes widened, and he said, "What? You, you awakened Conqueror's Haki? What's going on?"
Koushirou was also taken aback.
Leno told about his life experience and experiences that he had already made up.
Growing up in a mountain village, he was suddenly robbed by bandits. In order to survive, he was forced to become a bandit and was bullied and insulted by them.
Seeing that he was about to be killed by the bandit boss, he awakened Conqueror's Haki, shocked everyone, and killed the bandit boss instead.
He robbed the bandits' treasure and hid.
He met a swordsman by chance and found out about the Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village.
The story is half true and half false, and Leno's words were sincere, so Kozaburo and Koushirou had no doubts.
"Can you release Conqueror's Haki to see?" Kozaburo asked.
Leno said, "I can't control it well; I will..."
"Hey, let's try again when there is no one around!" Koushirou hastily stopped him.
Joking, using Conqueror's Haki in the dojo would cause most of the people in the village to faint.
Kozaburo returned the sword to Leno and said, "Starting tomorrow, you come to the lighthouse to find me for Haki training."
After the Revolutionary Army left, the dojo returned to tranquility.
Leno walked out of the hall with a smile on his lips.
Tonight was too profitable!
In the duel with Dragon, he realized something and stepped into the realm of the swordsman.
He was approved by Kozaburo.
Haki's special training would begin.
Also, the talent from Dragon.
He just didn't have time to check it out.
Leno looked expectantly at the system records.
[Ding! You were defeated by your opponent, and the talent was scanned: Wind's Blessing (SS level)]
[Successfully copied talent]
[Talent introduction: Unruly wind, always with you, walk against the wind, and you will be blessed by the wind]
Hiss?
