Chapter 12 You can’t do it, boy!
Rosinante, who was 12 years old at the time, was a real peer of Yuichiro.
His full name is Don Quixote Rocinante, yes, he is Don Quixote Doflamingo's younger brother.
Rossinandi's family was originally a Celestial Dragon living in the Holy Land of Marijoa, but his father gave up his identity as a Celestial Dragon and moved to an island country on the Grand Route.
However, when the local civilians learned that their family were once Celestial Dragons, they launched a revenge.
The Donquixote family, who had lost their identity, was "judged" by the civilians, and just when the family was about to encounter disaster, the young Doflamingo awakened his Conqueror's Haki.
This "born devil" felt that all the misfortunes he suffered were because of his father. He then took his father's head and went to Marijoa, seeking to restore his identity as a Celestial Dragon, but was rejected.
Rocinante, who survived at that time, was rescued by Zhan Guo and later adopted as his son.
The first half of Rosinante's life can be described as a mixture of luck and misfortune. His white left-wing father also endowed Rosinante with a kindness that most Tianlongs never had. After experiencing great changes, Rosinante has lost some of his innocence, but his kindness has still been preserved.
Yuichiro could feel this.
Since meeting Rossinanti, Tsugumi Yoshiichi's life has become a little richer.
Like Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, Rossinante did not enter the naval academy directly because of his young age, and he did not officially become a sailor.
Moreover, Zhan Guo was very protective of Rocinante, and the only people who knew Rocinante's life experience were actually a few of Zhan Guo's friends.
Jiguo Yuanyi's daily life is to stay at home and read books with Rosinante. Sometimes he will also stroll around the "family area" with Rosinante. After a few visits, the two "peers" have become good friends.
At night, when Zefa returns home, he will talk to Yunyi about the interesting things that happened in the Naval Academy. As for Yunyi's "learning progress", Zefa doesn't care at all.
Days like this were peaceful and calm, making Yunyi feel as if he had returned to his student days.
However, this relatively peaceful life ended half a month later with the successful completion of the temple.
The dojo that Zefa built specifically for Yoriichi was successfully completed, and Yoriichi's life in Tsugikuni also underwent tremendous changes.
"Hey! Yunyi, Yunyi!"
"I am coming!"
"Come on, come on! I'm going to show you how powerful I am today!"
Early in the morning, Rossinanti rushed into Zefa's house with a bamboo sword in his hand. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he started shouting.
Yesterday, he learned that the dojo here was built, and he clamored to teach Yunyi the way of the sword. Although he had not officially joined the navy, Zhan Guo often guided him in practice in private.
In terms of kendo, Rossinanti has some basic knowledge, although it is a bit poor.
"Um?"
"Oh! The little brat from the Warring States! Hahahaha, you're here!"
At this moment, Zefa opened the door of another bedroom and walked out. Today was a rare holiday for the Naval Academy, so Zefa did not go to school. Coincidentally, the dojo at home was officially completed yesterday, and he planned to take some time today to properly train Tsugumi Yoriichi.
Seeing Rosinante hurriedly running into his house, Zefa did not blame him, but laughed instead.
Zephyr has always been very tolerant and fond of the young people in the navy, except when they are in training. What's more, Rossinante is the adopted son of Sengoku, and has a good relationship with Yoriichi. He can be regarded as Yoriichi's first friend of the same age in the navy.
"Well"
"General Zephyr!"
Rosinante, who was originally shouting loudly, immediately stood up straight when he saw Zefa and greeted him respectfully. While the two were talking, Yunyi came out of the bedroom wearing a loose training suit.
Seeing Rosinante, Yunyi smiled and shouted:
"Little devil, you're here."
"Come on, let's go to the dojo!"
He and Rosinante were familiar with each other. The young Rosinante was thin and had very little flesh on his body, so Yoriichi affectionately called him "kid." Of course, another more important reason was that Rosinante's identity was kept secret. When the craftsmen of the Navy Headquarters were building the dojo, Yoriichi never addressed Rosinante by name.
"asshole!"
"Don't call me brat, I have a name!"
Rosinante shouted angrily when he heard Yunyi's address. The craftsmen had already left, and they were all "family" here, so there was no need to be shy.
"Okay, kid." Yuan Yi responded with a smile, but his address still left Rossinanti speechless.
"Come on, come on, let me show you how powerful I am! Let's see if you can still call me a little devil!"
As Rossinanti spoke, he raised the bamboo sword in his hand.
Under the influence of Sengoku, Rosinante's dream is to become an excellent navy. Since coming to the Navy Headquarters, Rosinante has been working towards this goal.
If you want to become a navy, fighting is essential. Therefore, when he knew that Yuichiro also planned to become a navy and that Zephyr built a dojo for Yuichiro's training, he immediately made an agreement with Yuichiro to practice together and become stronger together.
"Okay." Yunyi looked at Rosinante's excited face and said with a smile. Then he and Rosinante entered the dojo that Zefa had hired to build it.
The dojo was quite large, nearly 100 square meters, and there wasn't much else around. Besides a few bamboo swords leaning against the walls, there was nothing else. It was quite simple, but for Yuichiro, it was enough.
He walked into the dojo barefoot, grabbed a bamboo sword from the wall, and swung it twice casually, and the air immediately made a rustling sound.
“It feels pretty good.”
"Hey, kid, come here."
Yunyi shouted to Luo Xinandi with a smile. Luo Xinandi, holding a bamboo sword, also walked into the dojo and came in front of Yunyi.
Zefa followed Tsugikoku Yoriichi and Rosinante into the dojo. Seeing that the two brats were about to spar, he smiled and sat down on the empty space to the side, shouting:
"I'll be your referee!"
"Everyone, come on!"
Although he knew that Rosinante was no match for Yunyi, he still enjoyed watching this kind of sparring. He had experienced this kind of thing before, where young people supported each other and grew up.
It doesn’t matter if there are differences, even if the differences are big. Friends are supposed to help each other.
"Let's get started!"
Zefa shouted loudly, really treating himself as the referee.
As soon as he finished speaking, Rossinanti immediately attacked. He took a step forward, raised his sword, and chopped it down at Yunyi's head from top to bottom. There was a "whoosh" sound of breaking wind, and this time it was full of power.
"The steps were a little weak, and the intentions were too obvious."
"You can't, kid."
As soon as the opponent made a move, Yunyi knew that the opponent was a rookie. He didn't even test his opponent's strength and attacked directly with confidence. Moreover, his sword skills were wide open. This level of swordsmanship is really not commendable.
With a simple flick of the knife, he easily blocked Rossinanti's attack. At the same time, Yuanyi raised the knife, and the tip of the knife immediately touched Rossinanti's chest.
Yunyi didn't use much power, he just used technique.
Rossinanti, who was hit in the chest, stopped breathing and took three steps back before he could steady himself.
"Well, you're dead." Yuan Yi said with a smile. He practiced with Rossinanti as if he was teasing a child.
“Come again!”
Rossinandi rubbed his chest and his eyes brightened.
I didn't expect this! His friend is quite capable. This is really interesting!
However, after more than ten minutes, Rossinanti felt bored. He originally thought that Yuanyi only knew a little bit, but he didn't expect that the other party really only knew a little bit.
Every time his attack was resolved by Yuan Yi, he could also counterattack.
Every time, he was hit by Yunyi in just one encounter. Fortunately, Yunyi held back, so although he was hit repeatedly, Rosinante was not injured.
But how can you still play if you're always defeated in one move? It's like shooting a gun: you get up, and then you get shot in one second. What's the point of playing a game like that?
Zefa, who was standing by, watched Rosinante being defeated again and again, and the smile on his face never stopped.
“Ahhhhhh~~”
"I won't practice anymore. I can't beat you!"
"Yuichi, why didn't you tell me you learned kendo before? I wouldn't have practiced with you. It's so one-sided and boring."
A few minutes later, Rossinanti threw away the knife, lay down on the tatami, sweating profusely, and collapsed.
"You can't do this, you can't do it after just a few strokes?"
"Get up and continue."
"I haven't even stretched my muscles."
Yunichi looked at the languishing Rocinante in silence. He seemed to understand why this fellow, who had been adopted by Sengoku since childhood, had grown up to be such a complete noob. He couldn't use Haki or Rokushiki.
No wonder, although he was the adopted son of the Warring States, he ended up being just a lieutenant colonel.
To be honest, this guy is not even strong enough to be a lieutenant colonel. Even Sergeant Tashigi from the Rogue Town period was stronger than him!
"No, we can't spoil this kid. We need to train him."
"At this stage, I can't access Haki anyway, and my physical functions need to grow gradually. I have to bring this kid along when I train!"
"The future of the province was abused by Vergo, and the banner of the adopted son of the Warring States was overturned."
"If people knew that this guy and I had practiced together, it would also insult my reputation, even though I don't have a reputation yet."
