Chapter 11

Looking at the bamboo swords on the shelf, Zoro turned his head and asked: "Can I take any?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro smiled: "Sure."

"Yoshi..."

After a while, Zoro, who was holding "three" bamboo swords in his mouth and "three" swords in each hand, looked at Kuina.

With a "click", Bai Gui hurriedly hid the camera.

I wonder if Zoro will explode when he sees this photo when he grows up.

Everyone's mouth twitched, "Come on."

Shimotsuki Koshiro presided over the competition: "Salute to the altar." Zoro lowered his head and dropped a sword from his mouth.

"Salute each other." He lowered his head and dropped another sword, and Bai Gui covered his mouth and trembled.

"Hold, hold, hold... shut up, you boring guy." Little Zoro turned his head and looked at Bai Gui and cursed.

"Okay, the competition begins," both sides posed.

Kuina looked down at Zoro with both hands holding the bamboo swords.

Seeing Kuina's disdainful expression, Zoro rushed forward, "Aiya,"...

"Pah." After two sword strikes, Zoro flew backwards and fell to the ground.

"Damn it." After saying that, he picked up the two bamboo swords on the ground.

Kuina was stunned for a moment: "Can you use the double sword style?"

Little Zoro blushed: "No, today is my first time holding a sword."

Shimotsuki Koshiro smiled and said: "First time,"

The competition continued, and Zoro shouted and continued to rush forward.

Kuina looked at the middle door and chopped it down with a sword.

"Pah..."

"...Ah!" Little Zoro fell to the ground directly.

"The winner has been decided, and the competition is over." Shimotsuki Koshiro stood up.

"Damn it, how can I practice." Zoro, with a red mark on his face, looked at Kuina.

"I will definitely work hard to practice, become stronger and stronger, and then defeat you."

"Hmph," Kuina left, and Zoro fulfilled his promise to worship Shimotsuki Koshiro as his master.

In the days that followed, Zoro practiced swordplay desperately, day after day.

I looked at his small body working hard, and remembered the time when I worked hard to become stronger and control my own destiny.

Become stronger just for the sake of becoming stronger? Then what? Thinking about it, I was so obsessed that I didn't even know when Kuina came to my side.

Become stronger and live freely?

No, if you become stronger, you can live as you want.

Suddenly, the domineering aura burst out uncontrollably, directly covering the entire Shimotsuki Village.

"Plop, plop." Zoro and Kuina fainted one after another.

Shimotsuki Koshiro hurried over to protect the two little guys behind him, and said with cold sweat: "Has the Conqueror Haki broken through? So strong!"

The White Ghost retracted the Conqueror Haki, looked at the situation he had created, and looked at Shimotsuki Koshiro embarrassedly: "Sorry, I was so obsessed with thinking that I couldn't control it."

Shimotsuki Koshiro had a complicated expression on his face: "It's okay, congratulations on your strength."

The White Ghost clenched his fists: "This is just a little bit, compared with those big guys standing at the top, it's still a long way off."

"Your Excellency is so courageous, I wish you, White Ghost, can reach that realm as soon as possible." Shimotsuki Koshiro said and left with the two little ones.

In the following days, watching Zoro train and get beaten was also pleasant.

Until one day, Kuina came over and looked at Baigui, "What was it that burst out of you that day?"

Baigui looked at Kuina: "The Conqueror's Haki, only one person in a million can awaken, and it is also your own power. I personally feel that as long as you can work hard to take that step, everyone has the possibility of awakening, but taking that step is too difficult."

Kuina didn't say anything, looking at Zoro who was training with two bamboo swords in front of him, and spoke again after a while.

"Can't a woman really become a great swordsman?"

Baigui turned his head to look at her, and she also looked at Baigui, and the two looked at each other.

After a long time, when her eyes gradually showed disappointment, he spoke.

Baigui finally spoke, "Not necessarily,"

"Hmm?" Kuina's eyes were filled with hope.

Bai Gui saw the change in Kuina's eyes: "Among the people I know, there is a female vice admiral named Zhiyuan in the Navy Headquarters.

I heard that she was already at the peak of the swordsmanship before, and now she should have broken through!"

Kuina's eyes gradually brightened and asked: "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Bai Gui nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I didn't lie to you, this is true."

"Thank you." He bowed and walked away, looking very happy.

Bai Gui said slowly: "Come out."

Shimotsuki Koshiro walked out from the corner: "You shouldn't say that."

Bai Gui looked at Kuina who was walking away: "Isn't it the truth? I don't know if you really look down on women, or you are afraid that Kuina will take this path.

You don'tDo you think it is best for everyone to decide their own path? Look at her, her whole aura is different after listening to me. "

Shimotsuki Koshiro also looked at Kuina, whose aura had changed greatly, and walked away expressionlessly.

"Tsk,"

In the days that followed, Kuina practiced while asking Baigui for swordsmanship, and Baigui told her his understanding of kendo without reservation, and sometimes Zoro came too.

"On this sea, most people divide swords into three levels, namely, swordsman, swordsman, and great swordsman."

"What about you?" Kuina asked.

Baigui thought for a while, "I, I am different from them. My understanding is currently four. Swordsman (a person who has just learned kendo, I understand it as this) is like a baby learning to walk, stumbling.

Swordsman, a person who can use a sword freely, like a child who can walk normally, swordsman, a person who can start to learn to run, great swordsman? I haven't reached it yet so I can't explain it clearly. "

Kuina and Zoro were both thoughtful.

"So how far are you from being a great swordsman?" Kuina looked up at Baigui.

Baigui looked at the bamboo sword in his hand and said, "I don't know. Once you become a swordsman, everyone has their own path. It depends on everyone's understanding."

After that, he ignored them and walked into the mountains to practice boxing.

Fist intention? Every time Vice Admiral Garp's fist was hit, it didn't seem like it was hit by domineering, but it hurt.

He told Baigui that he added his own will to his fist. He kept groping, but he couldn't feel that state? Was it not enough or something else?

As the speed of the fist hitting the mountain became faster and faster, there was still no feeling. He blew up the mountain with one blow, but he didn't find that feeling, and he became more and more impatient.

Huhuhu——Shimotsuki Koshiro came out from behind and said, "What are you feeling?"

Baigui panted: "Huh, a kind of will, fist intention, I can't feel that feeling."

"Will? "Shimotsuki Koshiro glanced at Shiroki: "That kind of thing is ethereal and difficult to capture, but your mind is in a mess, and a messed up mind will not succeed in anything."

"I know." Shiroki shook his head:

"But I can't be calm recently."

Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at Shiroki and said: "Then you should go to the Marine Corps to watch the sea."

"Watch the sea?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded: "Yes, you will gain something if you keep watching."

Watch the sea? Train your mind? Let's try. I'm idle now, and my strength seems to be stuck at the bottom of the bottle.

"Bulu Bulu Bulu~" The voice of the Den Den Mushi sounded,

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's my base commander, Colonel Mao. Shiroki, what's going on? I've been away for a month. If I don't come back, I won't be able to explain to the headquarters when they ask."

"Oh, base commander, just tell them that I'm practicing, and I've been practicing kendo."

The base commander seemed to be in a bad mood in the Den Den Mushi: "Asshole, will the people at the headquarters believe this excuse? "

White Ghost said casually: "Believe them or not, I don't want to get promoted anyway."

"Asshole, Bakayalu..."

"Gurgle." Seeing the Den Den Mushi being hung up, Colonel Mao exploded, "What kind of attitude is this asshole, this asshole.

Oh! Forget it, just say you're going out for patrol! It's really that I have to clean up that guy's ass every time."

After returning to Isshin Dojo, I was called to the beach, and Zoro and Kuina followed?

Are you asking me to go to practice my mind? Haha, interesting.

Walking to the beach, I guessed wrong.

Seeing Shimotsuki Kozaburo sitting on the beach smoking a cigarette with a big box next to him, I knew it in my heart.

White Ghost looked at the box and said, "Is the senior ready to build it?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo said lightly, "See for yourself."

Reaching out to open the box, I saw the big sword I had been thinking about lying there.

"Wow, what a big sword. "Zoro was surprised.

"I melted this sword again, added some materials, and repeatedly fused, forged, and fused it. Now the quality of this sword is only one level away from the big sword. As long as it can be trained into a black sword.

It may be a little long, but you should like it," said Shimotsuki Kozaburo, and then glanced at the white ghost with a satisfied expression on his face.

The white ghost looked at the big sword, waved it twice, and directly brought a gust of wind. The two little guys looked at it with wide eyes.

I estimated that the weight was 100 kilograms, the length was two meters and two meters, and the width was about 15 centimeters. Although it was taller than himself, he was very satisfied.

"Thank you, senior." The white ghost saluted Shimotsuki Kozaburo

Shimotsuki Kozaburo dodged: "You're welcome. Just like people, swords also choose people. Seeing you holding a sword, the whole person's momentum is different."

Yes, the white ghost felt relaxed when holding this sword, and continued to wave it.

In the end, it was slanted towards the sea in frontHe chopped it down.

The sea in this area was split into two by the white ghost. It felt so comfortable.

"Sugena, you are so powerful, white ghost." Kuina and Zoro looked at him enviously.

Shimotsuki Koshiro said beside him, "This is the result of calming down. That road doesn't work, why don't you try another one?"

Change the road? Sword intent? Since fist intent doesn't work, why should I persist? I feel so happy after picking up the sword, why should I use my fist? ...
