Pirate Shadow Guardian

Frost Moon Village.

"Humph, you guys still remember to come back?!"

"Grandpa, don't be angry, don't be angry. We were afraid of causing trouble for you before... Now that the trouble has been solved, we came back immediately!"

Looking at old man Kozaburo who had a cold face as soon as they met, and whose nose was not a nose and eyes were not eyes, Yangye and Zoro felt a little embarrassed.

Especially Yang Ye, it was so embarrassing!

He took away two of his most outstanding disciples, and they were gone for three or four years...

"Those rubbish, they dare to cause trouble to me? I can kill them in a minute!"

Kozaburo said with an angry tone.

Yang Ye couldn't expose the old man's lies, not to mention that he did have the ability but was just not convenient to do it.

"Yes, yes, Grandpa is so powerful, how could he be afraid of those rubbish? I'm just afraid that they will bother Grandpa and ruin his good mood!"

"You're a good talker!"

Only then did Kozaburo smile and no longer care about what had happened before.

"Is this the Black Crow Banshee? She looks like a cute little girl, why is she given such a weird name?"

"Hello grandpa!"

"Hey! So good! Your name is Jasmine, right? Grandpa will get you a weapon later!"

"Grandpa is so nice! Thank you, Grandpa!"

"Hahahahaha! Good! Good! Good! My granddaughter is so good!"

Zoro:? ? ?

"What are you looking at? If you call me grandpa, I'll give you a weapon too!"

"grandfather…"

"You look so reluctant, go pick a long sword yourself later!"

Although old man Kozaburo looked disgusted, he was smiling from ear to ear.

This is the first time that Zoro has called him grandpa!

No matter whether you are reluctant or not, just shout it out!

"Grandpa, I am a three-sword style..."

"Get lost! Just one, love it or not!"

Kozaburo suddenly felt that this grandfather sounded a bit distressed...

In fact, it’s not that Kozaburo was reluctant to give it up. It’s mainly because the kid already has two famous swords, and he can’t come up with a better one to fight with.

.........

Zoro and Jasmine went to choose weapons with old man Koshiro, while Yang was drinking tea with Koshiro.

"Are you here to say goodbye this time?"

"Yes, teacher."

"That's right. The East China Sea is too small after all. You have already reached the top of the East China Sea. If you want to move forward, you can only go to a bigger world."

"Teacher, Kuina..."

"Don't take it to heart. Since she has chosen the path she has chosen, you should let her go and fly instead of restricting her."

Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Kuina had also come back.

The two drank tea and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

.........

"Hello, Master (Uncle)!"

"It looks like you guys have a good harvest?"

"Yes, yes, my grandfather gave me the famous sword Soul Breaker, and brother Zoro also got a famous sword..."

"Famous sword Fenglin!"

Zoro took over the conversation first. He didn't want his sword to appear for the first time under the introduction of someone else.

Exorcise evil, Mo Yu, and Feng Lin!

Zoro finally obtained three famous swords of excellent sharp quality, which will become the best helper for him to become a great swordsman!

"Since you all follow the way of the sword, and you all have a connection with my Isshin Dojo, I will give you the last lesson today."

Koshiro, who looked like a weak scholar, showed unparalleled bearing at this moment. He was as sharp as a blade drawn from its sheath, yet he did not seem to be aggressive at all.

"Do you know why the One Heart Dojo is called the One Heart Dojo?"

The three shook their heads.

"The so-called ultimate truth of heaven and earth lies in one's heart. This is the one heart!"

"When you first start practicing swordsmanship, you focus on strength and technique. When you become proficient in swordsmanship, you focus on focus and intention."

"If you want to find your own sword path, you must first understand your true heart. Only the sword path that matches your true heart is your own strongest sword path!"

"So... Sensei, what is your sword art?"

Yang also asked curiously.

"My sword art is about protection, and what is needed is the heart of protection."

Looking at the three pairs of clear and stupid eyes, Koshiro shook his head and continued:

"The so-called guardian heart means that when you are guarding something you want to protect, you can infuse the will of protection into your swordsmanship, thereby gaining the power of protection."

"Master, isn't this similar to refining sword power? Pour your will into swordplay to make it more powerful."

"This is the lesson I'm going to teach you today."

Koshiro's expression was serious, but he did not blame Zoro. This was the difference between an ordinary swordsman and a swordsman from Isshin Dojo.

"If the sword in your hand will hurt everything it touches, then such a sword is not worthy of being called a sword!"

"But how is this possible..."

Before Zoro could finish his words, Koshiro drew his sword and slashed at a fallen leaf.

The long sword seemed to have completely lost its edge, and it just stuck tightly to the fallen leaves and fell to the ground quickly.

The fallen leaves are unharmed!

"How... did they do this..."

"This is the heart of a swordsman. Cut off what you want to cut off, and can't cut off what you don't want to cut off! This is the power that a swordsman should truly master!"

Looking at the three people who were shocked, Koshiro continued his lecture.

"To do this, you must learn to sense the breath of all things. Everything breathes, and everything moves. Follow the breath of all things, and you will be able to achieve the desired result."

.........

This class does not last long, but it is enough for the three of them to study for a very long time, or even study it for a lifetime.

.........

"Yang Ye, let's do it here."

"Well, here it is."

Zoro took the Black Fang handed over by Yangye. It was a long sword broken into two pieces.

Zoro found a place where he often practiced sword skills in his childhood and planned to bury Black Fang there.

Burial knife!

Black Fang was the first long sword he obtained, which was given to him by Yang Ye.

I still remember that Yang Ye just randomly gave the sword a name at first, or he named it after he got it.

And now, Black Tooth has accompanied him through a journey in his life, and has also completed Black Tooth's own life.

Black Fang was his partner, and partners should be remembered.

So he buried Black Fang with his own hands, but did not erect a monument.

"Yoya, I still remember that you casually threw the Black Fang to me, and Kuina angrily questioned you why you treated your sword like that."

"Well, I said at the time, it's not my saber."

"Black Fang, it's my sword!"

"Well, it doesn't suit me, but it suits you."

"Thank you!"

"It should be me and Black Fang who should thank you!"

.........

On the way back.

"Where's the other knife? Why wasn't it buried with it?"

"Don't you ever check the atmosphere when you speak?"

"I really don't want to hear this from you..."

"You've ruined the good atmosphere, you bastard!"

"So…why not bury that knife?"

"That's not called burying, that's called burial! Do you understand the romance of a swordsman, you bastard?"

"Sorry, I'm a killer, I don't have any emotions!"

"you…"

"So…why didn't you bury the knife?"

"Shit! Are you stupid? The knife isn't broken, why should I bury it? I gave it to the teacher!"

"Yes, it's a pity to bury such a good knife..."

"Yes!"

Zoro nodded with some feeling, and then whispered:

"Yangye, thank you."
