Pirates: I was born to be a king

Kuina looked at Zoro jokingly and said, "How shameful, Zoro! But you deserve it! Who told you to look down on girls!"

"Oh!" Zoro said with a blushing face and some hesitation: "I just didn't expect that she has become so much stronger. I just didn't take it too seriously at the beginning."

Kuina just smiled and said nothing, but her eyes drove Zoro crazy.

Sauron vowed: From now on, we must use all our strength to deal with opponents and take them seriously.

"Okay, Zoro, go and practice with Sibel. Be careful, Sibel is not an ordinary girl. She is very strong." Noah walked over to act as the "peacemaker" and greeted Sauron. Go and compete with Xibel, and then say to Kuina:

"Would you like to compare with Elena? Although Elena does not have Sibel's strong physique, nor does she have Eileen's swordsmanship talent, she is not bad at all. The most important thing is that Elena has found the path she wants to take. .”

Guina became curious about Elena, who was a bit transparent among the three girls. It was interesting that she found her own way even before she learned the sword for a long time, so she nodded and went to find Elena by herself.

When Elena saw Kuina coming to discuss with her, she did not refuse. Instead, she apologized gently and said: "I'm sorry, because I position myself as a chef, so my swordsmanship mainly studies the textures of various creatures. Where do I start from? The knife can kill the creature more quickly or perfectly separate the flesh and bones of the creature, so although the bamboo knife will not hurt people, I will subconsciously hit acupuncture points and some fragile places, which will hurt a little."

When Guina heard Elena talking about "the perfect separation of flesh and blood," her whole body was furious, and Linex was so frightened that she froze in place.

It was hard for her to imagine that the gentle elder sister in front of her would choose such a bloody and cruel way of swordsmanship.

When Elena saw Guina, her face turned pale with fright, and her eyes rolled upwards. She knew she had misunderstood, and quickly said: "Guina, I am a chef, not a bloody executioner. I will definitely not be right when I fight with people. People are like this!"

At this time, Guina's face warmed up, and she understood that she had overreacted, but even so, she still felt a little in awe of this big sister.

The two had a competition as promised.

Guina found that although Elena's swordsmanship was far worse than hers, Elena's attacks were really tricky, and they went straight to some joints and some unknown acupuncture points.

On the other side, the battle between Sauron and Sibel also began.

Zoro didn't expect that this girl was stronger than him. In the past, he used his strength to resist Kuina, but now it was his turn to use his skills to defeat Sibel.

Every collision between Zoro and Sibel made Zoro's hands numb, and sometimes the bamboo sword would almost fall off.

This made Sauron secretly complain, and he decided that he must exercise his strength in the future, otherwise he would not even be able to hold the sword in his hand.

Fortunately, Sauron still defeated Sibel with his skilled swordsmanship in the end, but it was more difficult than when he defeated Irene.

It can be seen from this that why do some people in the world always say that women cannot become the world's greatest swordsman?

This makes sense, after all, it is so unreasonable to defeat ten guilds with one force.

Afterwards, Noah gave everyone instructions on swordsmanship, then asked Kuina and Zoro to go find Joanna and others for treatment, and then went to find Koushiro himself.

Noah once asked Kuina why she didn't ask Koushiro for advice.

Kuina just said with an unconvinced look that if Koushiro didn't expect her to become the world's greatest swordsman, then she wouldn't rely on him to become the world's greatest swordsman to show him.

Noah could only lament that Kuina was wasting her money because being angry with her father would only delay her strength. It was really not worth it!

However, if Noah were Kuina, Noah would not go.

Without him, people can live for one breath, and trees can live for one layer of bark!

Noah came to Koushiro's yard and saw Koushiro sitting on the edge of the corridor, with a tea set beside him, drinking tea leisurely.

"Master Geng, seeing you looking so leisurely and contented really makes me want to find a place to lie down." Noah joked as he walked.

Koushiro just turned to look at Noah and smiled: "Noah, how old are you, and I don't believe you will stop."

Noah poured himself a cup, took a sip and sighed: "Good tea! Of course, there are so many weird things in this world, how can we give up?"

Koushiro did not refute, but nodded in agreement: "You are right, there are many strange and weird things in this world, but you can always maintain your enthusiasm on the sea."

Noah didn't ask Koushiro why a great swordsman was willing to live on a small island. He knew that he had lost interest in the whole world since Kuina's mother died.

It’s not that the world has become boring, it’s just that there is one less person to see the world with.

Noah was silent for a while, but Koushiro spoke first: "I think you also have a swordsmanship apprenticeship. I believe you also know how to become a swordsman, right?"

Noah nodded while holding the teacup and said, "Well, I heard that you need to understand the 'breath of all things', but it's a bit mysterious."

Koushiro smiled and said: "It is indeed mysterious, but 'breathing' is very important. Not only for swordsmen, but even for great swordsmen, breathing is crucial. It is related to whether your slash is sharp enough."

"Oh?" Noah had never heard of this statement, and it was not even mentioned in Shuangxue's inheritance.

"Isn't the power of a slash related to a swordsman's physique and sword intent?"

Koushiro did not let Noah guess blindly, and answered directly: "Indeed, the swordsman's slashing involves physical strength and sword intention. The sword intention is particularly important, that is, domineering. The swordsman's domineering is more sharp than that of ordinary people. , so the attack power of the swordsmen on the sea has always been at the forefront."

"But 'breathing' is a point that many kendo inheritances do not pay attention to, and many kendo strongmen inadvertently ignore it. When kendo reaches a certain level and your physical fitness is not bad, you can sense everything around you. Breathing, with the control of breathing, we swordsmen can easily cut off whatever we want to cut off, and at the same time, we can cut down even a piece of paper."

With that said, Koushiro stood up and took out a piece of paper from his arms. At the same time, he pulled out the real sword beside him. He threw the paper in the air with his hand and swung the sword in his hand fiercely.

Not only did the sharp sword not cut the paper in half, but it hung on the knife as tough as a piece of cowhide.

"This..." Noah could see clearly that Koushiro was not using haki on the sword at the moment, and the scene in front of him was as if the sword slipped past when cutting on the paper.

It's like a knife unwilling to cut through paper.

Koushiro smiled and gently placed the paper on the blade of the knife. The paper immediately split into two halves.

"Noah, there is a kind of swordsman in this world who can't cut anything but can cut steel or even anything. You have to understand that you can only cut anything if you have something you don't want to cut."

"In my opinion, a sword that can hurt anything it touches is not a sword. The strongest sword should be one that can protect what you want to protect and cut off anything you want to cut off. "

Koushiro sighed and continued: "It's just that many swordsmen now think that this kind of power is domineering. After all, domineering is originally one's own will, and it is indeed possible to do all this easily, but after all, it is not the same thing. A state, a state where man and sword become one."

Noah felt like he had realized something, so he closed his eyes and took in everything around him.

Koushiro didn't interrupt, just sat quietly drinking tea.

Opening his eyes in a daze, Noah seemed to hear a lot of sounds around him, but it seemed like there was no sound at all. Nothing in front of him had changed, but it seemed that earth-shaking changes had taken place.

He felt that everything around him, even an inch of land or a stone, seemed to be a living thing making reciprocating movements according to a certain pattern, as if it was breathing.

Noah looked at the paper in his hand. Different objects had different patterns. He threw the paper in the air, picked up the knife next to him and slashed hard. The sharp knife seemed like a dull knife at the moment, and the paper just stuck to the knife. But it wasn't split in half.

"It's so amazing. As long as you don't cut off their breathing, they won't be cut off. This feeling..." Noah couldn't describe the wonderful feeling, nor could he describe more accurately why he kept cutting. A paper.

"So, cutting off steel means cutting off its breath?" Noah gently placed the knife on a boulder, and the stone was cut in half without any resistance.

ping ping ping rang

"This..." Koushiro's eyes widened at this moment, looking so unbelievable that the cup in his hand fell to the ground.

He originally thought that it would take at least a month for Noah to learn this state, and half a year was not impossible. However, he just taught it tonight and he knew how to backhand.

This is somewhat disgraceful to him as a teacher, to learn it so easily!

"Master Geng, this realm is so wonderful. This is the real swordsman!" Noah deeply felt the wonder of this realm at this moment. He can't guarantee that his sword will not hurt his own people at any time, but if Give him some time to feel it. If that person is left to be chopped in front of him, even if he dies in the end, he will come to the conclusion that he was beaten to death.

Koushiro was picking up the teacup on the ground with some distress. He had been using it for more than ten years.

"Well, don't give up on deepening into this realm. Many people think that this is the threshold for advanced swordsmen to use flying slashes. Just use it. The main reason is that it is difficult to have stronger attack power in this short period of time. Compared with It’s too slow to improve domineering, and domineering only requires continuous training and fighting, and this depends on enlightenment, so many people choose to give up exploring this realm.”

Noah shook his head, feeling that people in this world were too impetuous, thinking only about how to improve their combat effectiveness faster, but abandoning this path that has unlimited potential but requires calmness.

"Don't worry, Master Geng. I firmly believe that if a great swordsman has a realm, 'breathing' must be an essential element."

"And I agree with what Master Geng said. If you can't do kendo without hurting things you don't want to hurt, then sooner or later the people around you will be hurt by it."

Koushiro smiled happily and nodded.
