Chapter 41 Returning home in glory
Shuangyue Village, Yixin Dojo.

Koshiro knelt down and drank tea as usual, keeping calm.

This is called cultivating the mind.

Koshiro believes that cultivating the mind can help one better exert his strength and become stronger faster.

Open your eyes silently and sip the tea gently.

Carefully recall the swordsmanship and Ryusaku, feeling every movement of the body and mind.

Koshiro has been having a very comfortable life recently.

Take your strength to the next level and make further progress in kendo.

Kuina's talent was enhanced, her weak physique disappeared, and her strength increased all the way.

Zoro is not much behind. After his talent was enhanced, he made rapid progress and is definitely one of his most proud disciples.

As for the ordinary disciples, their strength is also improving rapidly.

The most important thing is that Dick, who made people worry, finally left.

Koshiro couldn't help but smile.

Kuina is safe, that's good, very good.

There was a faint sound in my ears.
It seems to be Dick's voice?

Koshiro smiled.

Dick is far away, there's no way he can be here.

Oh, that’s true.

It seems that I still care about Dick.

Koshiro thought about it and looked at a letter on the cabinet.

It's a letter from Red Hair.

Before leaving the East China Sea, Red Hair sent a letter specifically to Koshiro.

They first exchanged pleasantries, and then he kept praising himself for his good teaching skills. A good teacher produces good students, and he had trained an excellent disciple, Dick, which made him extremely admired.

Koshiro agreed with this.

Excluding other things, Dick was indeed a great man of his generation. Anyone who knew him a little bit believed that Dick would become a great man in the future.

Koshiro also had to admit that Dick's future achievements would definitely be better than Zoro's.

That's right, if Kuina is an adult and she and Dick are in love, why would he be such a bad guy? He would just make Kuina and Dick hate him for nothing.

Moreover, thinking of the red-haired man's praise, Koshiro felt somewhat happy.

Of course, Koshiro would just laugh off the compliments from ordinary people.

But even Koshiro could not ignore the praise from a big shot like Red Hair.

Everyone likes to hear good words, and everyone wants others to agree with them.

Koshiro shook his head and continued to meditate.

But Dick's voice became louder and clearer.

Koshiro's mind was full of Dick.

What's going on, isn't it?
Koshiro frowned, opened his eyes, and instantly saw that iconic handsome face.

"Dick, you?" Koshiro was surprised.

"It's me, teacher. I'm back."

Koshiro's face froze.

As soon as you come back, I have to guard you closely.

Will I die if I come back as an adult?

Dick's return this time can really be regarded as a glorious return to his hometown - although Frost Moon Village is not Dick's hometown.

That hundred-meter-long warship looks majestic and powerful. It is considered the most powerful warship in the East China Sea.

Not to mention the 500 soldiers Dick brought.

Dick originally wanted to play a scene with gun parades and cannon salutes, but thinking that this was the era of great pirates, he was afraid of scaring the villagers, so he had to be frugal.

A 300-meter-long red carpet was laid from the ship to the shore, forming a long route.

The soldiers stood in line, and the guard of honor played music and sang, setting off Dick standing in the center.

This scene will surely be firmly remembered in the minds of the residents of Shimotsuki Village.

A big shot has arrived in Shimotsuki Village.

This is the consensus of all villagers.

Dick gave two swords to all the disciples of Isshin Dojo. You should know that the price of an ordinary sword is 10 berries. Dick bought high-quality ones, and the average price was 15 berries, including the tearful sale by the unscrupulous boss.

This one person is 30 Baileys.

There are also Kuina and Zoro, each with a good and sharp sword.

Among them, Kuina’s is Feng Lan.

It was originally gathering dust in the treasury of the Kingdom of Goa.

Liu Sauron's was Xuezou. Dick also gave him the demon sword Sandai Kitetsu.

"Feng Lan?" Kuina was surprised.

She knows Liang Kuaidao.

There are only 50 of them in the world. Not only that, she also has a large sword in her hand, the Wado Ichimonji, which is the family heirloom of the Shimotsuki family.

It was cast by her grandfather.

"Thank you," Kuina said silently, holding Feng Lan tightly.

She knew that Dick must have spent a lot of energy in finding the good knife.

Looking at Dick's face carefully, she didn't know if it was psychological, but Kuina felt that Dick had an undisguised look of fatigue in his eyes. It must be because he was trying to find a satisfactory gift for them.

However, Kuina was not good at expressing herself, so she could only suppress her gratitude in her heart.

In comparison, the three swords, which are even more useless, oh, now it’s Liu Salong with two swords, who is just more careless.

Zoro didn't know which specific swords were among the good and great swords.

I know, I don't mind.
If Dick gave it, he would take it. If Dick didn't give it, he wouldn't want it.

It's that simple.

There is no need to divide brothers so finely.

However, just after getting Xuezou and Sandaime Kitetsu, Zoro started muttering a few words as if he had a sudden inspiration.

"Nine mountains and eight seas gather together a thousand worlds to form a small thousand world. This world multiplied by three, without the self, is the great thousand world."

Dick: (ˉ▽ˉ；)
Good poem, really good poem.

He is also good at pretending.

Dick punched him.

Bang, a big bag.

"What?" Zoro touched his head.

"It's okay. I just saw that you were hysterical. Let you recover. Also, you said three, so why not just follow the three-sword style from now on."

Zoro:? ? ?
In addition, Dick bought many gifts.

For example, Kuina's mother has a precious headdress, and there is also the cherry tree that Dick grew with the fire of life.

"It's so beautiful," said Kuina's mother with eyes blurred.

Just looking at this 10-meter-wide cherry tree, you can tell that Dick has done his best.

Cherry trees are extremely rare outside of Wano Country.

"How much did it cost?" asked Shimotsuki Naoka.

"It didn't cost much. Besides, the gift for you is worth any amount of money."

The more Naoka Shimotsuki looked at Dick, the more satisfied she became.

Where can I find such a good son-in-law?

In the tea room——

"Teacher, your teahouse is too simple. You should tear it down and rebuild it." Dick looked at it. "Also, this staircase is too dangerous. I think its killing power is almost as strong as that of the Supreme Sword. Add a guardrail."

"Renovate the walls..."

The more Koshiro listened, the more he felt something was not right.

Why does Dick sound like he wants to tear down Isshin Dojo and rebuild it?

"You have so much money?" Koshiro said with a wry smile.

He remembered that he had paid for Dick's boat ticket.

It's only been a short time.

"Master, the eldest brother is very rich." Others spoke up one after another.

Warship, two swords per person, Xuezou, Fenglan, Sandai Kitetsu, headdress, cherry blossom tree...

Koshiro was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Dick has done so well in such a short period of time.

"Here, this is 5 million Baileys," Dick took out the card.

"As the renovation fee for the dojo, the extra money will be considered a gift to you, Sensei."

The current Dick exudes a heroic character from head to toe.

Koshiro felt mixed emotions.

5 million berries, this amount of money is a huge sum for Koshiro.

Dick had only been out for a short time when he brought in more than 5 million Baileys. This was probably all the money Dick had earned recently.

There were also gifts for everyone in the dojo, especially the three precious swords.

It shows that Dick is nostalgic.

I have always been on guard against Dick, but what about Dick?

Repay evil with kindness, and think of yourself as your teacher when good things happen to you.

This feeling is really...

Koshiro was ashamed.

A strong sense of guilt surged into my heart.

Thinking about this, Koshiro decided to teach Dick some real skills.
