Pirate's Strongest Relationship

Chapter 33 Koshiro Shimotsuki

"Thank you, Senior Koshiro, for your hospitality!" Ricardo and the others took the green tea brewed by Koshiro Shimotsuki, and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.

"Haha, you're welcome! So, you and Zoro are friends?" Shimotsuki Koshiro asked.

"Yes, yes! Sauron was our big brother when we were bounty hunters! He is the person I admire the most!" Joseph said first.

"Yes, curator, we are going to sea this time, preparing to go to the great route, and we also hope to follow in the footsteps of Brother Sauron!" Johnny added.

"Zoro was able to make friends, and I am also very happy! When he left the gym, I was worried that he would not be able to adapt to life outside!" Koshiro Shimotsuki said softly.

"It's an unfeeling request to take the liberty to disturb senior this time!" Ricardo said.

"Oh? What is it? I need to trouble the son of Thunder to come to our little Shimotsuki Village? Since he is a friend of Sauron, he is a friend of our Yixin Gym, but it's okay!" Koshiro Shimotsuki said.

Ricardo was not surprised that Koshiro Shimotsuki knew him, after all, the one in front of him was not some old country farmer who had never seen the world.

"It's like this. My two crew members regard Sauron as their idol wholeheartedly, and are also obsessed with swordsmanship. It's a pity that there has been a lack of guidance from famous teachers all these years!"

"I brought them here to visit seniors this time, in the hope that they can worship you as their teacher and learn the way of swordsmanship, and hope that you can accept them as apprentices!" Ricardo said.

"Oh? So that's the case! It's natural to accept them as disciples, but the way of the sword doesn't happen overnight, it needs to be practiced over time. Are you planning to put them in our Yixin Gym?" Koshiro Shimotsuki asked.

"Putting them in your gymnasium and studying with you is naturally the best, but it is a pity that we are about to go to the great route, I am afraid that it will not be so long, after all, I still have The other crew members." Ricardo said.

"Then what do you mean?" Koshiro Shimotsuki asked curiously.

"I'm sorry senior, I offended you!"

Ricardo just looked at Koshiro Shimotsuki, and Koshiro Shimotsuki also looked at Ricardo curiously.

After a long time like this, Ricardo showed an embarrassed smile.

"It's a senior like this. I'm a phantom man who ate the phantom fruit. Can you relax a little bit before I pull you into my phantom?" Ricardo explained.

Ricardo discovered that his own fruit is indeed very powerful, but it also has a great weakness, that is, if people with strong mental power are caught by surprise, they may be drawn into an illusion.

However, if the other party's attention is highly concentrated, if you are prepared, your fruit ability may fail.

"Oh! That's right! What a magical devil fruit ability." Koshiro Shimotsuki said with a smile.

As Koshiro Shimotsuki relaxed his mind, Ricardo finally pulled him into his illusion.

Koshiro Shimotsuki looked at the school field that appeared in front of his eyes, and his face was also full of surprise.

"Senior, this is my illusion. I just need to trouble you to demonstrate your teaching content in this school, and my illusion can record it exactly, and they can be in this school at any time in the future. Learn your kendo!" Ricardo explained.

"What a magical ability! It's also a powerful ability!"

"I can demonstrate my swordsmanship here, but the special thing about swordsmanship is that swordsmanship lies in enlightenment, not in learning! How much and when they can realize it depends on their own good fortune!" Koshiro Shimotsuki said.

"Naturally, it is their honor to get your guidance! The rest is up to them! However, I believe in my crew! They all have great potential, but they just lack a chance. said Ricardo.

"Captain..." Johnny and Joseph were a little moved, and were about to speak, but were interrupted by Ricardo!

"Don't mess with these useless things, and pay your respects to your teacher first!" Ricardo said to the two of them.

Johnny and Joseph quickly turned towards Koshiro Shimotsuki, knelt down and shouted: "Johnny/Joseph, meet the master!"

Koshiro Shimotsuki waved his hands quickly with a smile, and then quickly took two steps forward, helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Hey, no need! I also hope that there can be two more swordsmen in this world!"

"In order to pursue power, some people swallow fruits to resist demons, and some people don't hesitate to transform themselves. Only our generation of swordsmen will continue to discover ourselves and entrust the future to the sword in our hands! Now that we have chosen this path, we must go on unswervingly. !"

Afterwards, Koshiro Shimotsuki began to explain the way of swordsmanship to the two, and demonstrated it from time to time, while Ricardo quietly exited the illusion.

After all, Koshiro Shimotsuki was willing to teach them largely because of Sauron, a proud disciple, but he had no friendship with Sauron.

More importantly, Ricardo has already established his own path, there is no need to listen to others.

After a while, Ricardo's mind moved, and he saw Koshiro Shimoyuki regain consciousness, and he broke free from Ricardo's illusion.

From the looks of it, the illusion fruit is not effective for swordsmen with strong mental power!Ricardo thought.

Looking at Ricardo's questioning gaze, Shimotsuki Koshiro said with a smile: "I have planted a sword heart for them, but whether this sword heart can take root or not depends on them! Now, let them grow in the illusion first." Let's realize it again!"

Ricardo quickly expressed his thanks again.

"Senior, in fact, I am not from the East China Sea, but from the Great Route!" Ricardo said while drinking tea with Koshiro Shimotsuki and waiting for Johnny and Joseph.

"Oh? I didn't expect that. According to the reports in the newspaper, the outside world generally thinks that the son of Thunder is from the East China Sea." Koshiro Shimotsuki said.

"The logo on your clothes seems to be Wano Country, the family emblem of the Shimotsuki Family, right? Wano Country is on the great route, and it is a closed country. As far as I know, the Shimotsuki Family is a powerful daimyo in Wano Country family."

"I don't know if the senior is from the Shuangyue family? Why did he appear here?"

Ricardo stared closely at Koshiro Shimotsuki, but saw that his expression did not change, and he was always smiling.

"I've been in the East China Sea since I was born. I really don't know much about the ancestors, so it's hard for me to answer your question about the Son of Thunder."

"Haha, senior, don't think too much, I'm just curious, nothing else!" Ricardo said with a smile.

"However, this time we do owe senior a good favor. In the future, if you need anything, you can send me! Whether it's in the East China Sea or... the great route!"
