Pirates of my own way

"Boss, Mr. Koushiro is personally assessing me today. I have been promoted from the intermediate kendo class to the advanced kendo class."

At night, after another day of kendo learning, Lu Chen and his party returned to the boat docked on the shore of Shuangyue Village.

For more than a month, the Arakaze Pirates have become very familiar with the villagers of Shuoyue Village. This group of pirates, who are bold and generous and never rob villagers, are now very popular with the villagers. In the village, they met the urban people. greet.

As soon as he returned to the ship, Bounty couldn't wait to report the good news to his captain.

In the past three weeks or so, the psychological pressure of the bounty has been too great.

It took more than a week for Bounty to leave the junior kendo class and enter the intermediate kendo class. Finally, he got rid of the group of five, six, seven or eight-year-old children in the junior kendo class.

But a bigger challenge awaits him.

The content taught in the intermediate kendo class is much more difficult than that in the junior kendo class, especially two days a week. Mr. Koushiro will also come to the intermediate kendo class to teach them, which is usually only enjoyed by advanced kendo classes. treatment.

The bounty was too difficult, and what made him even more frustrated was that among the Arakaze Pirates, he, Jerry, and the tabby cat among the cat brothers were the slowest to learn.On weekdays, he always joked that Jerry and Tabby Cat were idiots whose brains had grown into muscles, but in the end, the Arakaze Pirates were still in the intermediate class and only the three of them were left. He actually and two full-body The idiots who only have muscles "repeat" the grade together.

This has made Bounty change a lot recently, and he practices like crazy every day. He swears that in his past life, he has never worked as hard on anything as he does now.

He didn't ask for a bounty, like Yamaguchi and Crowe, who easily and quickly entered the advanced kendo class. He didn't even ask to compete with Zangao, he just wanted to be one step faster than Jerry and the tabby cat.As for his own captain Lu Chen, he had no intention of competing with him in terms of bounty. He was a swordsman genius that even Mr. Koushiro praised. After only five days of studying at the Isshin Dojo, Mr. Koshiro left him alone to teach him every day.

Looking at the bounty that excitedly rushed over to report to him, Lu Chen felt relieved. He really made the right decision when he decided to take his cadres to learn swordsmanship.

The strength of every cadre under Lu Chen has improved to some extent, and the one who has improved the most is still Yamaguchi.

In the words of Mr. Koushiro, Yamaguchi has a somewhat rare swordsmanship.It is a characteristic of people who have a firm will and pursuit, and are very compatible with weapons.People with such qualities are most suitable to learn kendo and use swords.

Next up is Crowe.This ruthless former captain of the Black Cat Pirates has also benefited a lot from the learning process of kendo. Now he can even control his "death blow". His previously powerful but uncontrollable killing move is now in his hands. His hands became more controllable, and now he became an even more terrifying assassin.

Zangao is also stronger. The study of kendo has given him a new understanding of his ring blade manipulation, and even inspired his hypnotism. Now the "hypnotist" is not just a nickname, but has truly become him. professionalism.

Is Koushiro's swordsmanship really so magical? Then shouldn't Isshin Dojo become a famous power all over the world and a holy place of swordsmanship?

In fact, it also depends on the person.

After a period of observation, Mr. Koushiro finally decided to teach his swordsmanship to the pirates of the Arakaze Pirates, which only a few people in the Shinshin Dojo are qualified to learn.

But kendo, as the name suggests, emphasizes the principles rather than the formalities. How much you can understand and how much you can improve all depends on your personal qualifications.

For example, Bounty, Jerry, and the cat brothers don't have much talent in the sword, or they are not good at improving their strength through learning and practice. Perhaps bloody battles on the sea can help them improve. , so the swordsmanship learning during this period only allowed them to lay some foundations in weapon fighting, learn some basic swordsmanship, and also polish their temperament.

And Lu Chen himself was the biggest beneficiary of this kendo learning journey.

"What is a sword? If I want to cut, I can cut with stone or iron. If I don't want to cut, a piece of paper will not be destroyed by the sharp edge. The sword is in the box, safe and silent; the sword can be transformed as if it is out of the body. Ten thousand paths. Thousands of kendos, transformed into one heart. This is the kendo of the Isshin Dojo, and it is the kendo of Koushiro."

When Koushiro told Lu Chen about his swordsmanship, Lu Chen bowed deeply to Koushiro.

Koushiro didn't tell him the specific sword moves. Lu Chen, who possesses the Devil Fruit of Nature's Wind, can move in seconds and has weird abilities. He is already very threatening. Koushiro's sword moves won't help him much. And Lu Chen actually doesn't like using swords.But Koushiro's swordsmanship still gave him great inspiration.

The sword means cutting, the sword means body and mind, the sword means meditation, and the sword means practice.

The "Isshin Kendo" taught by Koushiro gave Lu Chen an earth-shattering feeling. Kendo is just a medium, and training the heart is the essence. Training the heart stimulates the temperament of the whole person, which is neutral and firm, sharp and exciting, quiet and profound, and the power of the soul is stimulated. Afterwards, he would teach him back, which was exactly what Lu Chen hoped for, a way to temporarily circumvent physical shortcomings, break through bottlenecks, and achieve continued growth in strength.

The sword can hide or shine, and is ever-changing, and so can the wind.Koushiro teaches Lu Chen the art of swordsmanship every day, and also meditates with him to experience the subtleties of the art of swordsmanship.

However, Lu Chen's heart was not entirely in the way of the sword. Koushiro wanted him to excel in the sword, but he focused more on the way.

The wind is Lu Chen's sword and his Tao.

Nowadays, Lu Chen is not only able to apply the power of wind to slashing with great proficiency, but also some of the development and application of the ability of the Devil Fruit of Wind that he had previously conceived, and finally learned the way of the sword and continued to meditate. , with a deeper understanding and stronger power of mind, I successfully practiced it.

On the deck, Lu Chen put his hands behind his back and Zhuoran stood, "It's time to test our learning results. Yamaguchi, Crow, come on!"

Opposite Lu Chen, Yamaguchi was holding his steel knife. Crowe adjusted his glasses and had already put on his cat claw gloves.

The captain of the Arakaze Pirates, Lu Chen, and the two strongest leaders now are finally going to show off their strength after making breakthroughs in kendo under the guidance of Mr. Koushiro of the Isshin Dojo in Shigetsuki Village for more than a month.

Yamaguchi and Crowe said nothing. Neither of them likes to talk nonsense. Once they make a move, it is the most powerful killing move!

"Sword technique: attack and kill!"

"Dip to death!"
