Chapter 451 Shouldn't they worship me?
Wado Ichimonji, one of the "21 Great Swords," is worth at least ten million Berries.
Judging from the shape of the Wado Ichimonji, it is a typical knife designed for combat.
It has a thick, round blade guard that effectively prevents enemy attacks and protects the palm.
Although it looks very simple, with a plain folded forged clay-tempered blade and unremarkable polishing, it has a sharkskin handle and a rolled handle, which is absolutely simple yet exudes a murderous aura.
However, despite these advantages, as a famous sword, it has absolutely no fancy design.
It's safe to say that even if it were mixed in with a pile of broken knives, it would be completely inconspicuous.
However, Roman realized in an instant that this knife was extraordinary.
Perhaps it was the swordsman's intuition.
Upon seeing the knife, Roman suddenly realized who its owner was.
Logically, it should be in Zoro's hands.
But Roman had not forgotten who the previous owner of the Wado Ichimonji was.
This is why she quickly confirmed Kuina's identity.
Is he still alive?
"Ah, do you know me?" Guina was clearly excited when Roman called her name.
Even Kizaru, who was standing nearby, was a little surprised: "Do you know him?"
"Oh, I had already seen the list of people going to Marineford before I came. I remember them because they were younger girls." Roman lied without hesitation.
Meanwhile, to control his inner guilt, Roman took the initiative and lightly criticized Kizaru: "I think this is our internal responsibility. If you didn't know, it would be too lax."
Kizaru: ...Fine, fine, you win.
After being rebuked by Roman, Kizaru was speechless for a moment.
After all, he hadn't actually seen any list.
Seeing that Kizaru had stopped talking, Roman breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had gotten away with it.
To prevent Guina from speaking, Roman took the initiative.
"Being able to study at the main campus shows you're really talented. Keep up the good work!"
"Yes, I will definitely try my best," Kuina said with a confident smile.
He then saluted the two men and left.
"Well, judging from her expression, she seems to admire you a lot," Kizaru concluded.
After all, he saw it very clearly.
The girl named Guina had her eyes practically glued to Roman the whole time.
"Shouldn't people worship me? Don't I deserve to be worshipped? Isn't it normal to worship me?" Roman began his speech.
Kizaru: ...Fine, fine, you win.
However, while Roman said this, he was thinking about other things.
According to the current timeline, Kuina should have died long ago.
But Kuina is still alive.
Of course, this is not a bad thing.
It's not the strangest thing either.
The winds I've stirred up since I came into this world have been enough to trigger a lot of chain reactions.
Golden Lion is dead, Tiger is not dead, and Zephyr has not met Whitebeard Jr.
So the fact that Kuina is still alive doesn't seem to be surprising enough.
However, Kuina's swordsmanship talent is exceptionally high.
At least Zoro was far behind.
Although it was a match between children, Zoro's failure to win a single one was enough to demonstrate Kuina's extraordinary talent.
However, despite her incredible abilities, Kuina died in an accident in the original story.
He died unexpectedly after hitting the back of his head on a step.
In a world where people are harder than buildings, such a hasty way of dying has been criticized by many One Piece fans.
Of course, Roman had also heard other versions of the story.
That was what her father, Shimotsuki Koshiro, once told her: a girl cannot become the world's greatest swordsman.
This made her feel disgusted with her identity as a girl.
So she took a crazy step: she cut off her breasts.
He eventually died from excessive blood loss.
The author changed it to Kuina's accidental death because he considered it too gory.
However, if the cause of death is the latter, Roman feels that it fits Guina better.
Sword fanatics are all lunatics.
It cannot be deduced using common sense.
Mihawk is like this, as are Kuina and Zoro.
Thinking about it this way, their madness seems to have the potential to make them the greatest swordsmen.
Kuina's talent is not something Shimotsuki Koshiro could not have missed.
But he still said it.
If we were to defend him from a more tender perspective, it would probably be out of a wish for Kuina to have a peaceful and smooth life.
After all, becoming the number one swordsman also means constant bloodshed.
The reputation of the number one swordsman cannot be bestowed by human power; it must be earned through one's own battles.
Perhaps Shimotsuki Koshiro only said that because he didn't want Kuina to go down that path, but he didn't expect that it was his words that led Kuina to extremes.
But she's still alive, so she must have other ideas.
"I feel like she'll become a very strong swordsman!!!"
"You think highly of her?" Kizaru was surprised.
From Kizaru's perspective, it would be great to be able to join the headquarters.
But whether they can stay is still uncertain.
However, Roman seemed very confident.
"It's just a feeling. I also saw the shadow of a monster in that child. I have a premonition that something very interesting will happen in the future."
