The blood of the pirate

We are already only one step away from being a swordsman, but this step is difficult to cross.

When he reached this point, Ross increased his physical training every day, because a swordsman also needs a strong body to perform flying slashes. Otherwise, how can you fight your opponent when you have no physical strength?

Kozaburo was very pleased to see Rose's efforts. He would also fight with Rose every night to let Rose gain more insights. After all, a swordsman can only grow in battle.

A month passed like this, and Ross felt that he had become stronger, but he still did not feel the breath of all things.

"Well, this is too difficult, ugh."

Ross looked at the sky, a little lonely. He didn't expect that it would be so difficult to breathe when he understood all things. He had no clue at all.

"Kid, now you know why there aren't many swordsmen on the sea. It's very difficult for all living things to breathe."

Kozaburo's voice came.

Ross curled his lips: "I will definitely succeed, old man. I want to practice where the beasts gather."

"Oh, aren't you afraid of death?"

"...Only in this way can we become stronger."

Kozaburo looked at the 11-year-old kid in front of him and smiled: "Follow me."

Kozaburo has taught Ross his experience and knowledge, and the rest depends on his own perception, so go ahead and grow in the experience of life and death.

Afterwards, Kozaburo took Rose to a shore and drove a small boat to an island not far away. Only a few hours had passed.

On the boat, Kozaburo hesitated, but still told Rose about Haki.

"Although you are still young, let me tell you first. There is a power on the Grand Line called Haki. Among them, Armed Haki and Knowledge Haki are the most suitable for us swordsmen. You must learn it to be qualified to become the world's No. [-] A great swordsman."

Ross said calmly: "I once saw a person using Haki, and I want to know the principle of Haki."

Kozaburo was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Ross had seen a master who used Haki. Then he came back to his senses and said: "In this case, I will explain Haki. The essence of Haki is momentum, murderousness, and fighting spirit. When you can control these When you feel something invisible to the naked eye, your willpower will turn into a weapon, and the strength of your domineering energy is related to your willpower."

Ross said thoughtfully: "Even murderous aura can turn into domineering..."

Kozaburo nodded and said: "That's right, and Armed Color Haki is not only the spirit, but also the body. The stronger the body, the stronger the Armed Color. In one place, Armed Color Haki is also called Liuying Haki, which is Armed Color Haki. Advanced application, this is not something you can learn now."

Later, Kozaburo showed Rose the basic use of Armed Color Haki: "Look carefully, this is the most basic coverage."

As he spoke, Rose saw wisps of black air wrapping around Kozaburo's arms, which would then turn into a layer of black substance, making his arms look as black as ink.

Then, Kozaburo took out a long sword again. This time, the haki was very thick and wrapped around the sword. Then, a dark sword appeared.

"This is the second stage of entanglement, which can cover the weapon to increase the weapon's defense and attack power."

Ross understood why armed colors are suitable for swordsmen, because armed colors can protect weapons from damage. You must know that the power of a swordsman comes from the weapon. If the weapon is lost, the swordsman's power will be greatly reduced.

"I know, I believe I can learn it."

Kozaburo said calmly: "This is just a matter of time. Three months. You survive on this island for three months. As long as you can survive, I believe your strength will make a qualitative leap."

Ross calmly said: "Of course, don't underestimate me."

When he arrived on the island, Kozaburo took a deep look at Ross and left without saying a word.

Rose didn't say much to Kozaburo. Only by becoming stronger can he repay their kindness.

This island is an uninhabited island with countless ferocious beasts living on it. It is a very good place for testing. Although I don’t know how Kozaburo found this island, in Ross’s eyes, this is the guide of destiny. .

He's going to get a huge boost here.

Rose was walking in the forest and felt a little excited when he heard roars coming from all around.

"This is simply a paradise for fighting. Come on, let's fight to our heart's content."

Although his tone was exciting, Ross was still very cautious. He was alone now, so he had to be very careful, otherwise it wouldn't be worthwhile to die here.

A few minutes later, Ross saw a pool of water and he happened to be thirsty.Just as he was about to go up to drink water, he heard a roar.

"Roar"

"Um"

Ross found that the roar was very close to him, turned around and saw a colorful saber-toothed tiger appearing in front of him.

"Haha, I happen to be hungry. Today's meal will be decided by you."

Ross put his hand on the long knife at his waist.

Seeing Rose's actions, the saber-toothed tiger seemed to sense the crisis. After leaning down, he pounced. Rose thought to himself, good guy, I want to strike first, but it's a pity. You must know that Rose's sword-drawing skills are not guaranteed.

"Thorn."

Suddenly he drew his sword, and a terrifying sword light flashed through.

Followed by.

"Roar"

A mournful scream sounded, and a bottomless blood mark appeared on the saber-toothed tiger's body. For a moment, blood spattered.

"Well, these clothes seem to be stained with blood. Forget it, we will definitely be fighting in the future anyway, so that's it."

Ross muttered nonchalantly when he saw the blood on his body.

The rapid drawing and slashing of the sword has become more powerful under Ross's month of practice, and it already has some of the essence of Himura Kenshin.

The sword came out like light and electricity, bringing blood all over the sky.

"However, this divine speed of drawing a sword is not fast enough. Real speed should be able to kill people without blood. It still needs to be practiced."

Ross was not very satisfied with the effect. He knew that if his sword was faster, he could split the saber-toothed tiger in two, but by that time he was already a swordsman.

"Well, let's find a place to live first. The time to practice is long."

In this way, Ross practiced on this island for a month and a half.

"Hahaha, I am indeed a genius. This is how I feel. I finally found it."

Ross excitedly swung his knife.

"Swish"

A sound broke through the air, and only Kaz's sound was heard. A stone not far away was cut in half, and the cut was very smooth, and this was Rose's slash.

Time goes back a few seconds.

Just at that moment, Ross felt like he was in a very quiet environment.

"so quiet.........."

The current world is completely different from the ordinary world.

The surrounding environment, everything, seemed to have fallen into silence at this moment, very quiet.

The only sounds in Rose's ears were the sound of his own heartbeat and the faint sound of breathing coming from the front.
