Chapter 20 : Giving life lesson (teasing) to zoro

He walked out of the room.

In the summer evening, the sky is full of red clouds and the cool breeze is blowing, which is very comfortable.

Blaze stepped on the wooden clogs, dressed in a thin casual white exercise suit and holding the famous sword Raikiri walking down the long corridor.

When some passing disciples saw him, they all hurriedly avoided and cast looks of awe at him.

After Blaze passed by, they even breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Are you scared?"

"Crap, nonsense. Even Kuina can't beat that guy. If you provoke him, you will be dead!"

"By the way, he almost never came to the front yard."

"With his strength, he shouldn't need to come to train with us."

...

Blaze listened to the whispers behind them, his expression calm.

He is not yet irritated by the isolation of these children.

On the contrary, he thought it was good.

No one is bothered and noisy, so he can practice well by himself.

When passing a small courtyard.

A shout sounded in his ear.

"Blaze!"

Blaze turned his head to look, holding two bamboo swords in his hands and sweating profusely, Zoro stood in the clearing and looked at him.

After not seeing him for a while, he has grown a lot stronger, but he hasn't grown up yet.

"Wanna eat grilled fish?"

Blaze smiled at it.

Zoro froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

"okay!"

Soon into the night, the sky is dim,

By the creek.

Blaze skillfully caught a few fishes, set up a fire and started to grill them.

Zoro sat aside, staring at the grilled fish, drooling and his stomach groaned uncontrollably. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but urged: "Isn't it done yet?"

"wait a little."

Blaze said, still chewing.

"what are you eating?"

Zoro asked.

"Jerky, do you want to eat it?"

"yeah."

Blaze handed him a piece.

They stared at the grilled fish while chewing on the dried meat.

Zoro looked at Blaze against the fire and fighting intent was slowly began to gather in him.

Obviously he is only one year older than himself, but he looks like an adult...

"Blaze, are you from outside?"

Zoro looked at Blaze and asked.

"Well, it's from a small island called Moses Island."

Blaze nodded.

"Is it far from here?"

"It's pretty far."

"Then you came by boat? Is the sea fun? Have you encountered any pirates?"

Zoro came interested and asked curiously.

"yeah..."

Blaze scratched his face with his fingers.

Can't tell him that he came here as a pirate ship.

If this was known to those little kids in the gym, no one certainly know what story they will make behind their backs...

"When you go out to sea, you will know that the outside world is much bigger than here."

Blaze changed the subject, picked up a grilled fish and handed it to him.

"Come on, try my skill in grilling fish."

Before the food, Zoro forgot what he had just asked.

Reached out to take the grilled fish and bit down regardless of the hot bite, then a small white face was full of happiness and contentment:

"It's delicious! It's better than the grilled fish I've eaten in the store!"

"Yeah, right, my skill in grilling fish is amazing."

Blaze's delicate little face was filled with a hint of triumph.

It seems that compared to being praised for swordsmanship, praised for his skill in grilling fish makes him happy and proud.

After the two ate and drank enough, the sky went completely dark.

"Hiccup~"

Little Zoro fell backwards touching his bulging belly.

"It's so full, I can't eat anymore."

Blaze took out a small can of wine from the system space while Zoro wasn't paying attention and sat there drinking.

This scene was seen by Zoro who was lying on the ground and touching his stomach. He curiously asked:

"Blaze, what are you drinking?"

"Wine."

"That's wine? Is it good?"

Zoro sat up all of a sudden, staring at the can of Blaze in his hand.

"yeah it's good."

"Then give me a drink too. I have never had it before."

Zoro stared at him with eyes full of light.

Blaze was generous, reaching out and handing him the wine jar.

Zoro took it expectantly, first sniffed it and then took a sip with both hands.

"Ahem, it's spicy."

Little Zoro blushed, sticking out his tongue. "Where did you find this stuff delicious?!"

"Ha ha."

Blaze laughed and took the wine can in his hand, picked up Raikiri who was lying on the grass next to him and stood up.

"Zoro, let me tell you something."

"what?"

With his tongue sticking out, Zoro looked at Blaze.

"Swordsman, you have to have pride in your heart to become stronger. Wine is what makes people proud. So, if you want to become a great swordsman, you have to learn to drink."

Blaze said with a serious face ,inwardly smirking.

But his words made Zoro's eyes widen slightly.

After Blaze left,

Zoro stared at the fire in front of him, muttering to himself:

"Drinking can make one proud..."

"Swordsman's heart can only become stronger if he is proud..."

"Could it be that Blaze is so good because of drinking..."

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, as if he had discovered some great secret.

night.

Koushirou enjoyed a leisurely tea tasting time in the house, and the door was opened instantly.

Zoro rushed in and shouted at him:

"Curator, do you have any wine? From today I will drink too!"

Koushirou looked dumbfounded.

"...Eh?"
