Pirates: I was born to be a king

"gurgling……"

Koushiro sat on his knees, picked up the teapot on the small table, poured two cups of tea, then pointed to the cushion opposite and said, "Sit."

After Noah thanked him, he sat across from him and took a sip of tea, feeling as if his spirit was shaken.

“The tea is good!”

"Haha, it's just crude tea grown at home." Koushiro said with a gentle smile. He was quite happy to hear that the guests liked the tea he grew.

Noah put down the tea cup in his hand. He didn't know what he thought of, but he hesitated to say something.

Koushiro was also very keen to find out what Noah wanted to say, and asked: "Is there anything you want to say?"

"Well, I didn't think much about it this morning. In order to comfort Kuina, I told her a lot about the method of kendo to compensate for the physical condition, but now that I think about it, it's a bit ridiculous. I don't believe that Master Koushiro doesn't know about the devil fruit. exist."

Noah smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Indeed, as a great swordsman, how could he not know about the existence of Devil Fruit?

Just like a thousand-mile horse cannot be raised in a courtyard,

It is also impossible to become a great swordsman on a small island.

If you don't fight with other strong men, how can you prove what you have learned and how can you hone your own sword spirit?

Noah was certain that Koushiro had been out of the island and had fought with countless strong men.

The gentle uncle in front of him with a smile on his face was probably once a Shura on the battlefield.

Noah would have no doubt if he knew Sauron's path in the future.

In the future, Sauron will follow the path of Asura. The way of swordsmanship is fierce and warlike, until the last drop of blood is shed, and he will die!

In the original work, even if Sauron enters a deep coma, he can get up as soon as he hears the word "Swordsman".

The warlike ambition is evident.

Koushiro knew that Noah had not finished his words, and wanted to ask himself why he said that women cannot become the world's greatest swordsman.

In response, Koushiro just stared down at the tea cup in his hand and remained silent.

Noah thought that this topic involved Koushiro's privacy and was unwilling to talk about it anymore, so when he was about to change the topic, Koushiro slowly spoke:

"I believe Noah also sees that Kuina and I are not alike..."

Ok?

Indeed, Kuina has big eyes and looks very strong. If it hadn't been for Koushiro's blow, she would have been a very cheerful girl.

Could it be that Koushiro's wife is cheating on her?

Noah had some wild ideas.

"She's more like my dead wife."

Even though Koushiro squinted his eyes, Noah could still feel the sadness and longing in his eyes.

"When I was young, I used to leave the island, disguise myself, and walk on the sea with a false identity. At that time, I was still very passionate and challenged various dojos and swordsmen on the sea. I also acted chivalrously and helped the oppressed civilians to overthrow The nobles who oppressed them.”

"It was also at that time that I met my deceased wife. She was a very cheerful and kind-hearted woman. She was also a swordsman. She was equally warlike and had the same dream of becoming the world's greatest swordsman."

"I also laughed at her at the time. A woman actually wanted to become the greatest swordsman? There was no way, there was also a certain amount of contempt for women in my hometown."

Koushiro couldn't help but smile on his face as he spoke.

Noah remained silent and did not interrupt Koushiro's immersion in memories.

The most beautiful thing is the past that cannot be returned to.

"Our first meeting was not pleasant at first, but when we went together to overthrow the rule of a certain king, the relationship between us eased, and we even gradually fell in love. During this period, I gradually learned that she came from a A reactionary organization, at that time this organization was called the Ziyong Army.”

Noah raised his eyebrows. He really knew that the organization "Volunteer Army" was the predecessor of the current Revolutionary Army.

Koushiro is really big-hearted. I have only met him a few times. Can I say this kind of thing casually?

"Although I didn't join, I still traveled around the world with her, and it was also convenient to challenge strong people from all walks of life."

"Later, we got Kuina, and we returned to Shuangyue Village after running around all the time, and we had a happy two years."

"However, after she finished her mission in the Volunteer Army, she still devoted herself to her career without hesitation. I did not follow her. After all, Kuina still needed someone to take care of her. As a result, this parting was forever."

Koushiro looked up at the ceiling, not crying, probably because the countless days and nights that had begun had already passed away.

"So I have always said that a woman cannot become the world's greatest swordsman. On the one hand, it is indeed difficult for a woman to become the world's greatest swordsman, but more importantly, it is because I don't want her to run into the sea, where strong men are emerging one after another. , and she has exactly the same character as her late wife, the same kind-hearted, and the same stubbornness, which will bring disaster sooner or later."

Noah somewhat understands Koushiro's worries. Affected by his deceased wife, he doesn't want his daughter to fight for that kind of illusory honor.

Noah didn't say much about Koushiro's ideas.

To put it bluntly, it’s the pirate version of “I’m doing this all for your own good.”

But as an outsider, Noah had no way to point out other people's household affairs.

Guina still needs to make her own decision. Noah believes that Guina will not be attached to her father.

How can a bird that breaks free from its cage return to a narrow cage?

Koushiro came back from the good memories and said with a smile: "Tonight is really troublesome for Noah to listen carefully to what I am saying."

"Don't mind. This can be regarded as solving a doubt in my heart. After all, I am quite patient with curious things."

Noah smiled nonchalantly, picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He looked up at the night again and felt that it was time for his maids to make trouble, so he stood up to say goodbye.

"Sorry, Master Plow, I have to go back, otherwise my maids will be worried."

"Okay, please walk slowly."

Noah walked to the door, hesitated and turned to Koushiro and said: "Master Koushiro, although I shouldn't interfere in your family affairs, for the sake of Kuina, I thought about it and said this."

"Presumably Kuina's mother also hopes that Kuina can show her own style on the sea!"

After saying that, Noah nodded and left, walking towards the direction of the ship.

Koushiro was left looking at the reflection in the tea in his hand, falling into endless entanglements and memories of the past.

"Oh, it's hard for Kuina to have a parental heart on one side and a dream on the other."

Noah felt a little emotional as he walked on the road. The most troublesome thing is this situation where both sides are right and both sides are wrong.

Was Koushiro at fault?

There must be some, imposing his will on his daughter.

But it was correct from the starting point. After all, it was to protect Kuina.

Although he has only been at sea for a few months, Noah has seen the chaos of this world. Pirates emerge in endlessly. Even on some prosperous islands, if he appears weak and powerless, he will be spotted by human traffickers. He even heard that human traffickers will also Go to some poor and closed islands to "restock".

If Koushiro wasn't a great swordsman, Noah really didn't think Kuina would be safe if she stayed here.
