Pirate's Path of Destiny

At night, the light in Shuangyue Village gradually extinguished one by one, and finally only the bright moon and a few stars remained.

The surroundings of the hut were very quiet, and Will was tossing and turning on the bed in the house, unable to sleep.

The conversation with Master Koshiro in the evening made him toss and turn, and many questions that he had not discovered before were brought up in his heart.

For example, Master Koushiro questioned whether he was too anxious.Regardless of whether he was practicing swordsmanship or learning the Sixth Form of the Navy, his pursuit of strength was a bit too eager.

Kendo is a kung fu, and Armed Color Haki is even more so. Without training and polishing day by day, even if Armed Color is used in the end, the body may not be able to withstand the pressure.

The same goes for Marine Sixth Form. He is eager to learn Iron Block and is also very utilitarian in his choice of moves.

Now he says he has learned it, but in actual combat, his iron block may not be able to withstand an attack from an opponent of the same level.

So is he really wrong?

However, different experiences inevitably bring different thoughts. He who is like a prophet cannot be as naive as Jino.

If he is content with the status quo, he can indeed not worry and find a peaceful place to live his whole life.

But since he has chosen the path of the strong, he must give full play to his foresight.

With a sigh, Will turned over again. This was destined to be a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Will was woken up from his sleep by his companions. Before he was fully awake, he was already pulled to the hillside behind the dojo.

This time Koushiro was not late, but stood there early, wondering if he had been waiting for a long time.

Will came to the grassy slope with dark circles under his eyes, obviously troubled by last night's problems for a long time.Although people in the pirate world are physically strong, it seems they can't survive without sleep.

When Koushiro saw that Will looked like he hadn't slept well, he didn't get angry and said anything. He turned around and led Will to the foot of a big tree.

Today Koushiro is no different from usual. He is still wearing the loose kimono, squinting and wearing a pair of round glasses. The only difference is that today he has a white sword on his waist.

Wado one letter

When Will saw the conspicuous white scabbard and handle, he knew that it was Wado Ichimonji, one of the 21 craftsmanship of the Great Knife.

According to Will's memory, this should be a sword passed down from the previous generation at the Isshin Dojo. It was made by Shigetsuki Kozaburo. It cuts iron like clay and is a famous sword worth tens of millions.

This knife was usually well kept in the warehouse, but this time Master Koushiro actually took it out. Will instantly cheered up and was full of curiosity about this teaching.

Koushiro, who was standing under the tree, did not make any immediate move. Instead, he looked back at Gino among the falling leaves.

"Kino, let me ask you, what is the name of our dojo?"

"The name is Isshin Dojo, Master Koushiro."

After receiving the answer, Koushiro smiled and nodded, then turned to ask Will again.

"Will, do you know what the name of Isshin Dojo means?"

"I don't know something about this."

Will lowered his head, somewhat confused about the meaning of Koushiro's question.

Koushiro didn't blame anything and patiently explained the origin of the name of Isshin Dojo.

"Isshin Dojo is named after my father. The reason for this name is because our dojo focuses more on the swordsmanship of the heart than on various swordsmanship and moves.

This is the Heart Sword, which is the core of our Isshin School. "

The word "Heart Sword" is very unfamiliar to Will. After all, he has never been exposed to real extraordinary power. In his opinion, the so-called domineering and naval six styles are more like breaking through the limits of human beings. .

He seems to have accepted everything in the pirate world, but in his heart he still cannot help but look at everything from a materialistic perspective. Now it seems that there is obviously something wrong with this.

After carefully savoring Koushiro's words, Will felt that he roughly understood what the master wanted to convey. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Koshiro.

"Don't worry, you can actually feel what the Heart Sword is."

While he was talking, the famous sword and Dao Yiji on Koushiro's waist had been unsheathed and were waving back and forth among the fallen leaves.

The falling leaves seemed not to be affected by the swing of the sword, and continued to fall slowly.

At this time, Will was staring at the trajectory of the sword. He clearly saw the knife in Koushiro's hand passing through the center of the fallen leaf, but the fallen leaf was intact.

He seemed to have heard of this situation, where the knife cut through the leaves and the leaves continued, but seeing this happen in reality, he still found it a bit unbelievable.

By the time Koushiro stopped what he was doing, Gino next to Will had already widened his eyes. Even Will, who was well-informed, was shocked and speechless at this moment.

"This is the highest state of the Heart Sword. After the flowing cherry blossoms are attached to the sword, the sword moves like the heart. If you want to cut off, then everything can be cut off. If you don't want to cut off, then this is fragile. The fallen leaves will remain intact."

Gino seemed to understand what he said, and Will suddenly felt his heart shake.Gino didn't know what Ryukakura was, but he understood that it was another name for armed haki in Wano.

After the Heart Sword is equipped with Armament Haki, it can actually move as the heart moves. To reach such a state, it can indeed be called a Heart Sword.

Koushiro who put away his sword did not wait for the two disciples in front of him to come to their senses and continued:

"Actually, what a sword means to you is different for everyone. But how you treat the sword will determine how the sword responds to your heart."

Koushiro turned around and looked at the absent-minded Will, his tone rising slightly.

"Even if you think the knife is just a tool, it doesn't matter. As long as you polish and maintain it seriously every day and night, and turn it into the best knife in the world, then it will never betray you. When you challenge the world's best sword How to become your best tool on the road.

What matters is not what appears on the surface, but what you want deep down.Do you understand, Will?"

These deafening words rumbled in Will's ears, causing him to subconsciously tighten his grip on the long knife that had been with him for a long time.

Koushiro saw that his goal had been achieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Emotions, all of these are the power of the Heart Sword, and this is what the Isshin Dojo truly inherits."

Speaking of this, Koushiro glanced at Gino intentionally or unintentionally, and continued.

"Both of you are very qualified. I hope one of you can inherit this dojo one day and continue to pass on the Heart Sword Style. Then I think Daru will be very happy if he knows about it."
