The Journey of the Goddess Beginning with Pirates

Facts have proved that tiger poison does not eat its seeds, and Koushiro did not use Rayleigh's violent training method. Of course, although it was gentle, it still made Xiu's whole body sore.

Koushiro asked Murakami and Ino to prepare a single-plank bridge about two meters above the ground and about ten meters long. Osamu needed to walk from one end to the other blindfolded. During this period, the apprentices would attack her upper body with sandbags. As long as Osamu could hide, Once all the sandbags are opened and the entire course is completed, the training is complete. As for why not let Murakami and Ino throw sandbags?Naturally, I saw that they didn't throw hard enough.

Loss of vision, sense of balance and distance will cause errors. Even on flat ground, it is difficult for people to walk in a straight line without vision, let alone on a single-plank bridge. Every step is almost rubbing against the single-plank bridge. I tried to open my arms as much as possible to maintain balance. Just thinking about it, I felt that I must be very clumsy, not to mention the embarrassment of being knocked out of balance by the children and falling off the balance beam before I could even take a few steps.

And she couldn't be angry because every time she fell, the children would cheer her up. They were really helping her train.

Although the children did not laugh at Xiu's embarrassment, she herself felt more and more irritated. She always felt humiliated and had nowhere to vent. Finally, after falling again, Xiu beat the ground hard and screamed: "Damn it! Damn it!" Tears flowed out unknowingly, staining the black cloth in front of his eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but the black cloth in front of me was untied. Xiu raised his head, and the blurry figure of Koushiro appeared in front of him. Xiu lowered his head, hugged his legs, and pressed his forehead against his knees. The resentment he felt turned into shame. , it was she who took the initiative to practice the Haki of Knowledge, but she behaved so badly.

Seeing that Xiu's mood was slowly returning to stability, Koushiro also sat down cross-legged, "Xiu, actually I've been worried about you."

Xiu raised his head and looked at Koushiro, wondering why he said that.

"I don't know what you have experienced before, but since you started practicing swordsmanship, you have never encountered any setbacks. Even the problems that may trouble others for their entire lives are not worth mentioning in front of your talent..."

"But the more this happens, the more worried I am. Your strength and pride are so similar to Kuina..."

At this point, Koushiro suddenly stopped talking and said instead, "If your heart is obscured by the power and pride in front of you, then no matter how high your talent is, your achievements will be limited to this, swordsman The road is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I hope what you experienced today can be the motivation for you to continue to become stronger."

After hearing this, Xiu took a deep breath, wiped away his tears, stood up and bowed deeply to Koushiro, "Thank you, master, for your teaching!"

Koushiro smiled and nodded, "Then let's go back to eat, but remember to apologize to the children. You scared them just now."

"Um!"

When Xiu returned to the gym, the children who were still whispering and waiting for Koushiro to come back for dinner stopped talking. They all looked at her with evasive and guilty eyes, as if they had done something wrong. She understood that she Her vulnerability made them feel like they were being bullied, so she said loudly, "I'll leave the afternoon training to you, and please give me your advice!" As soon as she finished speaking, the quiet gym became lively again.

"Look, I just said that big sister is so strong that she won't lose to this kind of training!"

"Nonsense, you just said that Brother Sauron is stronger!"

"That, that's different!"

"Suck...slip~"

There was no difference between the training in the afternoon and the morning. Xiu still fell off the single-plank bridge again and again, but she no longer held any resentment. Instead, she could calm down and feel the sound of sandbags flying through the air, and the direction and width of the single-plank bridge under her feet. Although She didn't have the awakening to see and hear Haki, but she clearly felt that she was more sensitive to the changes around her.

In this way, Xiu can feel his progress every day, from falling to the ground after falling off a single-plank bridge to being able to stand firmly, from being hit by all the sandbags, to being able to dodge a few occasionally, from slowly rubbing Moving forward along the single-plank bridge, I became able to move forward slowly with small steps...

A few days later, when Xiu stood at one end of the single-plank bridge again, the children standing on both sides of the bridge had a strange feeling.

"Big sister's movements seem to be different..."

"Yes, big sister can't even open her hands, and she feels so stable!"

"Big sister has become like the master."

"suck……"

When Xiu took the first step forward, the children reacted and quickly smashed the sandbags in their hands. As a result, all the sandbags were knocked down by Xiu with both hands. None of them hit her, and her body did not lose balance at all. swaying, and then slowly walked across the single-plank bridge, confident and calm.

After jumping off the single-plank bridge, Xiu took off his blindfold, raised his hands in the air and cheered, "Everyone, I succeeded! Hahahahaha!"

The children's expressions slowly changed from shock to happiness. They surrounded Xiu in the middle and shouted happily.

"Big sister did it! Big sister really did it!"

"Awesome! Big sister succeeded!"

Koushiro smiled and looked at Xiu who was making trouble with the children, but he felt a little lonely in his heart. Even after this was completed, Xiu should leave soon.

At noon, in order to thank the children for their help, Xiu went to the village restaurant, bought out all the juice and snacks, and held a banquet for the children. Koushiro did not stop him, but just told everyone not to get upset.

At this time, a news bird flew over and dropped a newspaper. Koushiro picked it up, read it for a while, and sighed, "There will be chaos in the sea again."

Xiu went up and took a curious look. The content was that Ace, the captain of Whitebeard's Second Division, had been arrested and would be executed at the Navy Headquarters.

At night, Xiu sat across from Koushiro in his room. Koshiro picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Have you decided?"

"Well, this is a rare battle. I want to see it." Xiu nodded seriously, "If I miss it, I may regret it for the rest of my life."

"This is a war. Although it is the top combat forces that ultimately decide the outcome, it is not an ordinary duel after all."

"Master, whether it's a war or a top-notch duel, it's something I've never seen in my life. Although I don't know how much it will bring me, I think I will definitely gain something!"

"Xiu, on the battlefield, if you are not careful, you will die..."

Death?...

Xiu was a little silent. She thought of Whitebeard and Ace who died in the War on the Top in the anime, as well as the many navy and pirates who had no names or even pictures. If they went there, they might die. This thought was in her mind. Flashing through his mind, death seemed to be within reach, but there was a voice in his heart calling out, "I want to go!"Want to go! …

"Master! My heart tells me that I want to go! I will never regret it!"

Koushiro didn't answer, just stared at Xiu's eyes quietly, and Xiu's eyes didn't dodge at all, and he looked at him openly.

Then Koushiro smiled happily, "Xiu, you already have a swordsman's heart. Have you decided when to set off?"

"The sooner the better." After saying that, Xiu suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, I have never been to the Grand Route, and I don't know if I can catch up if I set off tomorrow..."

Koushiro was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Let's do this. I'll find a ship to take you to Rogge Town tomorrow. Whether you can catch up or not depends on God's will."

Xiu nodded obediently, knowing that such a sudden decision would be fine if he could make it by himself, but in the end he would have to trouble Koushiro, which would inevitably give him a headache.
