Pirates: I was born to be a king

Noah saw Kuina's joyful expression, which was the joy of encountering light accidentally after being immersed in darkness for a long time.

Thinking about it, Koushiro's harsh conclusion has become Kuina's heartache for more than a day or two.

She had been comforting herself before, coupled with the confidence accumulated in every battle, otherwise Kuina would have collapsed long ago.

But at this moment, Noah still couldn't help but want to pour cold water on Kuina.

"Kuina, is your belief really to become the world's greatest swordsman?"

Guina felt a little strange when she heard Noah's question, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Of course, otherwise!"

On the contrary, Noah did not have a joking expression, but said seriously: "You must know, do you want to be the world's greatest swordsman because you want to be recognized by Master Geng, or do you want to become the world's greatest swordsman?" It’s for yourself.”

"If it is really for yourself, you don't need to care about your father's opinion. At the same time, you have to adjust your mentality. If your belief is shaken just because of a few words from your father, then your belief is not It is as solid as a castle in the air.”

At this moment, Noah's words hit Guina's heart like a heavy hammer, and then they echoed in her mind layer by layer like echoes in the empty valley.

Yes, why do I want to become the world's greatest swordsman?

If it is for my father, then what is my belief?

If it's for yourself, then wouldn't it be a joke to have such a belief that is easily influenced by his father, and his lofty ambition to become the world's greatest swordsman?

Guina's face looked uncertain at the moment, and thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind.

Noah manifested two Noble Phantasms and threw one of them towards Kuina.

Guina felt a sword flash before her eyes and subconsciously held the sword in her hand.

"Huh? What are you doing? Where did you get this sword?"

Kuina clearly remembered that Noah did not bring anything with him when he came, and the sword was exquisitely made, and its sharpness was not inferior to her own Wado Ichimonji.

"Come on, you should have used a real sword before. Let's have another competition. Anyway, you are confused at the moment, so you can find your true self through sparring."

Noah did not answer Guina's question, but invited her to compete together.

After saying that, Noah walked back and found a more spacious place.

Bow and prepare!

Guina understood what Noah meant and chased after him. After returning a salute, she held her sword and faced him.

On the spacious grassland, Noah and Guyina stood opposite each other, the eyes between each other revealed determination. Guyina threw away the distracting thoughts in her heart at this moment and poured everything into the sword, while Noah also gave Guyina at this moment Na corresponding respect.

A gust of wind blew by, and Noah took the lead, stabbing Kuina with his sword like lightning.

Guina did not take this move forcefully, but chose to avoid the stabbing sword sideways, and at the same time swung her sword to counterattack, but was blocked by Noah's emergency defense.

The two swords collided in the air, sparks flew everywhere, and a crisp sword cry sounded.

Seeing this scene, Guina couldn't help but feel an unspeakable emotion. The clear sword sound was so pleasant to her ears.

She remembered that when she first started learning swordsmanship, it was because she liked it. The collisions when sparring with others, the weight in her hands during the fight, the explosion of adrenaline in the dodges and counterattacks, the reflections after each failure, The joy of victory after challenging an opponent for the first time.

The sword in Kuina's hand was swinging faster and faster, like a bird breaking free from a cage, and at the same time, there was a joy in her heart that ended the night.

The competition of swordsmanship is also heart-to-heart. A person's mood and will will be unreservedly displayed in the sword, and one can know the person by looking at the sword.

Noah also deeply felt Kuina's transformation. Although he didn't know what Kuina realized so quickly, Noah felt sincerely happy for her.

"Kuina, I once said that swordsmanship includes more than basic cutting and cutting, but also techniques. What you have to do now is to understand your own sword moves from the basics."

"Come and appreciate my sword moves, Yidao Style·Flowing Cloud Sword Shadow!"

The sword in Noah's hand suddenly felt ethereal and agile, and Noah's footsteps also became light and ethereal.

The pupils in Guina's eyes shrank, and she felt that the hairs on her hair stood on end. Her whole body seemed to be enveloped in oppressive air, making it difficult to breathe.

At the critical moment, Kuina remembered what Noah had just said, and realized her own sword move based on the basics. She also recalled the joy of breaking out of the cage at the beginning, and a sword move appeared in her mind naturally.

"One Blade Style·Guitiao!"

This knife perfectly fits Guina's state of mind - living in a cage for a long time, flying birds and swallows return to their nests.

There was no special move with this knife, but it locked onto Noah like a bird returning to its nest.

The two figures intertwined and stood there for a long time. The sword in Noah's hand turned into blue light particles and floated into the air.

"I lost!"

Guina covered the clothes on her chest with one hand, her face flushed slightly and she said in relief.

"I didn't expect you to be so much better than me. Don't let me offend you next time!"

"However, I didn't expect you to be a bad person!"

"Uh uh..., this is not my fault. How could I control where I cut at that time? I can only say that I try not to cut anyone. After all, I haven't reached the level of a swordsman yet."

Noah was a little at a loss and complained. After all, Kuina's swordsmanship was really good. She was already a high-level swordsman in terms of swordsmanship. Now she has enlightened and opened the shackles of her soul and has broken through to the top swordsman. It is estimated that if her physique is stronger, she will be a top-level swordsman. After playing against people a few times, you can try to understand the breath of all things.

It was a bit difficult for Noah to stay in this situation.

Kuina didn’t really blame Noah, and it was a bit funny to see Noah eagerly denying it.

"Huh?" Guina found that the sword in her hand was turning into blue light particles and flying away with the breeze.

"What's going on?" Guina tried to reach out to grab these light particles but found nothing.

"Hmm..." Noah thought for a while and said, "Just think of it as my Devil Fruit ability."

Guina was a little surprised, her eyes widened and she felt a little curious.

Noah took out a piece of clothing from the king's treasure and put it on Kuina. Kuina was amazed when she saw the piece of clothing appearing in Noah's hand after the golden light flashed.

"Have you figured it out?" Noah asked Kuina with a smile.

Guina's eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars. She looked at Noah and nodded with a smile and responded: "Yeah, I figured it out! I like swordsmanship, the pleasure of competing with others, the gains from every failure, and my The joy of every victory..."

Noah shook his head in amusement: "No, that's not what I'm talking about. I know this from the competition. Swords can't lie!"

"What is that?" This made Guina a little confused.

Noah smiled mischievously and said: "I laugh at you for being a big idiot. How can you make progress by fighting Sauron all day long? Only by fighting against strong men can you discover the flaws and shortcomings of your own swordsmanship under oppression. . So, all this time, you have just been giving Sauron tricks, but in the end, you are still complaining that your strength is far less improved than Sauron, hahahaha, it’s really funny!”
