Chapter 40 Simple Training Routine

After only swimming half a lap, Mihawk was already feeling tired and his limbs began to lose strength.

The heavy feeling made his consciousness begin to blur.

You can't stop. Once you stop, you will sink to the bottom of the sea and die.

Relying on perseverance to swing my limbs and swim the entire lap.

At this time, his limbs were completely numb, and he was moving them like a machine, relying entirely on his will.

After gritting his teeth and completing the last lap, Mihawk climbed ashore panting.

Lying on a rock, gasping for breath, his limbs limp, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.

Having persevered, Mihawk just felt how good it was to be alive.

The morning training had already exhausted him, and he didn't know what was waiting for him in the afternoon.

My body is very tired but my heart is very happy. With such training intensity, it is hard not to become stronger.

I dragged my tired body back to the castle, only to see Kavi lying there peacefully, with tea and wine on the table. He looked relaxed and comfortable.

Mihawk immediately felt unbalanced. Even though it was me who wanted to become stronger, you can't be so relaxed.

Kavi raised his head, opened his eyes slightly and said, "You're back. Not bad. A little earlier than I expected."

"Now that you're back, let's make lunch first, and then we can do the afternoon training after lunch."

Kavi said as a matter of course.

Mihawk naturally walked into the kitchen and started making today's lunch.

He did not resist because resistance was useless, and he was very tired and did not want to argue with Kavi anymore.

Mihawk was very aware of the situation and accepted his fate and cooked honestly.

It was impossible to expect Kavi to cook. Why not use the free labor? He would never let go of any opportunity to be lazy.

This is an exercise for young people, and Kavi continued to lie comfortably and wait.

Mihawk did all the housework and chores by himself. He was used to it. Now it was just one more person.

All Kavi has to do is enjoy life and teach him something useful in the process.

This little bit of stuff will last him a lifetime, so this deal is worth it.

After lunch, Kavi got out a heavy sword from somewhere, a 200-jin heavy sword.

Throw it to Mihawk. He has a certain foundation, so just use the heaviest weight. A weight that is too light will not have a training effect.

"The afternoon training is relatively simple. Just swing the sword 30,000 times." Kavi instructed.

Swinging the sword is an extremely simple yet important training.

The level of a person's swordsmanship can be seen from the way he swings the sword.

Making light of heavy tasks and keeping things simple, Kavi's swordsmanship has long since returned to the basics. There is no fixed routine in his every move, and they are all natural!

Kavi didn't know if Mihawk could go that far, but he knew that he could definitely reach the pinnacle of this world.

Just like his eldest disciple, the two of them are very talented in swordsmanship and will definitely achieve great things in the future.

Kavi estimates that Rosa's current level is about 60% to 70% of her level.

As for the current Mihawk, he hasn't even reached the first or second level. After all, the road is still long and he has to take it step by step.

Little Rosa also walked out slowly, step by step.

One day they will all find their own sword path.

Set foot in new territory.

Mihawk took the heavy sword. The sword was heavy and his heart was firm.

Raise your sword, swing your sword!

He repeated the action over and over again. He didn't care whether he could swing it 30,000 times or not. He just had to keep swinging it. He didn't think about anything else. There was only one thing in his mind: swinging the sword.

One hundred times, two hundred times, five hundred times, the speed gradually slowed down.

But the action continued without stopping.

After waving it ten thousand times, his hands began to tremble and his body was soaked with sweat.

He raised his trembling hands and continued to swing the sword.

Thirty thousand times goal achieved!

He put down the heavy sword and slumped to the ground, feeling the tingling and numbness in his arms.

This is the process of becoming stronger.

People only see the bright and beautiful side of swordsmen. When they see the scene of a sword cutting through thousands of miles, they all marvel at his talent in swordsmanship.

But people don’t know the hard training behind it. Talent is important, but hard work is indispensable.

The most terrifying thing is that someone is very talented and works very hard, leaving no room for others.

After a short break, Mihawk took it upon himself to make dinner without Cavedo telling him.

Kavi felt very pleased. Look at others. They don’t need supervision in training, but they become stronger on their own initiative and they also know how to “respect” the elderly.

Look at little Rosa and little Robin, neither of them gives herself peace of mind. One is always thinking about revenge on her master, and the other is always thinking about being lazy.

I really worry about them!

Mihawk: “…” If I hadn’t beaten you, would you still be the boss here?

Mihawk had no idea that in Kavi's heart, he was actually the most well-behaved and sensible student.

Every day that followed, Mihawk trained consciously. Without Kavi's reminder, he would get up early in the morning, put on weights and start swimming, and his physique became stronger and stronger.

The sword was swinging faster and faster.

Time spent fulfillingly always passes quickly; a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Mihawk could clearly feel himself getting stronger, most obviously in his physical strength. At the beginning, swimming two laps with weights almost cost him his life, but now he could easily swim five laps.

I feel very good after the swim.

Swordsmanship has also been improved. Swords can be swung faster and more powerfully, with less wear and tear, and the power has been visibly improved.

But you still can't cut down a tree with a leaf, even with a branch.

He felt that Kavi hadn't taught him something, something very important.

It's true that Kavi hasn't taught him some things yet. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to teach him, but it's just that the time has not come yet.

Improving swordsmanship is a process. If I tell you the most advanced swordsmanship, but you can't even swing the sword correctly, what's the use?

It is not advisable to give a peerless sword to someone who can't even use a sword. At least he should be taught how to practice sword skills first.

Mihawk is talented and works so hard, he will eventually reach that level with his own efforts.

All Kavi needs to do is find a suitable opportunity, give him a push, let him go with the flow, and comprehend the mystery of the sword.

Although Kawi can let him take shortcuts, taking shortcuts will come at a price. After taking it once, he will want to take it twice, until finally he doesn't want to make any effort at all. The power comes too easily, and his state of mind is not reached, so something bad will happen.

Mihawk has this talent, he doesn't need to take shortcuts, just take one step at a time.

A solid foundation and a strong heart are both indispensable, and that's how strong people are made.

Even though Luffy became emperor at such a young age, it was because he had a good foundation. Look at how he spent his childhood, he was on the verge of death every day.

Look at his ideal deep in his heart, to become the Pirate King, what a simple ideal. It is this simple and firm heart that makes him so powerful.
