5 Sword Soul

Kuina: I will join your crew, but that is only on the condition that you defeat my father.

Larch: Okay, what do you say?

Koushirou: Very well.

As the same before, Larch stood on a side, while Koushirou stood on the other.

Both Koushirou and Larch had the same pose which was one with their domain hand on the handled of the sword, while the sword was on it's sheath.

Koushirou: "From the looks of it he seems to have reached the Swordsman level, but his aura has something different from the normal."

As both stared down at each other, none moved from their positions as the tension in the dojo raised.

Koushirou: "With the same stance what will you do? Will you give up? The moment one doesn't put tension in his arm while in this stance losses."

Whoosh.

Standing straight Larch broke his stance pulling his sword out and putting it in front of him. Extending his left arm towards Kuina.

Larch: Give me your sword.

Zoro: Here you have.

Before Kuina could give her sword Zoro threw his.

Catching it and putting both sword to the side, the aura around him multiplied and changed to a more ferocious and dangerous one.

Garp: "What is this? His aura multiplied and changed just from holding different number of swords. Why is that? Isn't aura a unique thing to have, how can it change like this?"

Koushirou sensing the change tensed up and become more concentrated in his fight.

Thump

Thump

Larch with his sword to the side started walking towards Koushirou, in the beginning Koushirou stood his ground, but he unconsciously started backing off. As this scene continued the tension intensified each second. As he was backing off Koushirou bumped with his back on the wall of the dojo. As this happened Larch raised his arms extending both right and left, making it look like as if Koushirou had no way out. As Koushirou looked at the kid in front of him and the situation in found himself, he thought it was ridiculous, for him to be afraid of a kid, preparing himself again the moment Larch came at the range of his attack, he drawed his sword swinging the sword vertically. As the sword passed blood flew scaring everyone in the dojo.

As the moment passed, they saw that Larch was fine, except for a tiny wound in the corner of his left eye.

Larch: I win.

As Koushirou couldn't recover in time from that attack and the both Larch' swords were in his neck, but it was confusing when he as a grown up adult, he had more range that him, because of him being a kid, so how was it possible.

Garp: "This is incredible. If i am not wrong he hadn't failed but Larch made a step back to dodge the attack, but to do it in that situation with his swords on the side, without any fear of getting hurt or of death. And this aura, this is his natural state, two swords swordsmanship, it's only possible when a person is ambidextrous, otherwise it won't be perfect, but his right is, clearly, a main one. If he is Ambidextrous why is he using his right hand."

Ace: If he is ambidextrous why is he using his right hand more? That was what you were thinking right Old man? The answer to your question is that brother wasn't found a sword of his liking, for him to use in his left hand.

Garp: If that is the reason why is he using a cheap worn out sword. And a truly swordsman can use all kinds of swords.

Ace: I also don't know, when he made 7 years, me and Sabo gave him a platinum sword very strong, beautiful, it was a piece of art, but he upon touching it destroyed it the next second with his rusted sword, he says that he needs to feel a connection with the sword to accept it. And he can use all kinds of swords didn't you see it when he asked for that girl sword, but got the boy sword, he doesn't have a problem using other swords, but he prefers using the ones he feels connection with and for now he only as felt a connection with that rusty one.

As they were beside Zoro and Kuina, both heard their conversation.

Zoro: A connection with a sword. Can you tell me more about it.

Garp: "A connection with a sword? Does he have a Sword Soul? That would explain the change in his aura and that rusty sword."

Larch: So does this mean you are part of my crew now right.

Kuina: Yes.

Larch: Then pack your things up, we are leaving to return home.

Garp/Zoro/Koushirou: Wait, wait, wait.

Garp: What do you mean crew? You will be a strong marine!

Koushirou: Kuina you don't even now him.

Zoro: How can you decide to be part of his crew?

Larch simply ignored Garp, while Kuina solved out her father and Zoro.

Garp: Are you hearing me kid!?

Larch: Come on old man just let it go, not even your grandson wants to become marine, what makes you think i will be one, especially when the fact that the marines are lapdog to the world nobles. Tell me something, if i become a marine and get shoot, killed by a world noble what will you do. Nothing! The same that you will do if that happens if i am a pirate. So i prefer to become a pirate where i will have freedom.

As much Garp wanted to retaliate, he couldn't think nothing to use. It was the truth the World Nobles didn't care about the lives of the marines, sometimes they killed some marines and didn't suffered no punishment.

Larch: So will you come with us, for me to train you? Oh for starters I am Larch, 10 years old, this old man is my adoptive grandfather, Garp, this one similarly to me is Ace my brother who is my twin, the one with the straw hat is Luffy, Garp' grandson and the last one is Sabo he is someone me and Ace found in the Gray Terminal five years ago. Your turn.

Kuina: I am Kuina, 11 years old, this is Zoro he is 9 years old and this one is my father, where we are is the the dojo that my father manages. As for about following you where are you going?

Larch: We will return to our home where we train then when we reach age we will set sail to become pirates. So we will train for about 7 years before setting sail what do you say?

Kuina: Yes.

Kuina responded without even thinking, where she stayed she was slowly getting left behind by Zoro and during some time she wasn't improving from a long time, so if following him could get her to improve she will do so. Koshirou also knew his daughter situation, so he didn't tried to stop her and seeing that his adoptive grandfather was the marine hero Garp. He hadn't nothing to worry about.

Kuina: Zoro the next time i see you, you better improve to give me some fight.

Zoro: Of course.

Even though Zoro was sad about Kuina leaving, if her father didn't stop he also wasn't going to stop her.

Larch: Oh before we leave I also want to take this sword for Kuina.

As he said it he point at the sword Koushirou was holding.

Koushirou: Of course, i was going to send it anyway for her protection.
