Pirate: Ace just wants to get up

Chapter 16: Swinging the Knife

The merchant ship from the Kingdom of Goa to the Kingdom of Tami is advancing on the sea.

Standing in the hall of the merchant ship is like stepping on flat ground, without any sense of shaking, and it may even make people mistakenly think that they are standing on the ground at this moment.

Exquisite pastries and fine wines are on the table for guests to take.

A girl with smooth skin was standing in the center of the stage, holding champagne, chatting and laughing with the nobles next to her.

But if you look carefully, you can see that she is very impatient at the moment.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes wandered, and she saw a young man with freckles walking into the hall. She stood on tiptoes happily, smiling and saying goodbye to the nobles beside her.

"My boyfriend is here, goodbye."

The nobles who gathered around showed jealous expressions.

"Why would such a beautiful girl fall in love with that poor brat?"

"There's no reason."

...

The girl came to Ace, her previous elegance in makeup instantly disappeared, and she immediately revealed her tired look: "I'm exhausted."

"Thank you, Nami."

This girl with skin as fair as white jade is Nami. At this moment, she has eaten the Slippery Fruit and has become an esper.

The small scars on his body have all disappeared, and his skin has become whiter than it once was, and the thorns on his body that were halved have naturally slipped away due to his ability.

Even some of the cold hairs slipped off.

At this moment, she said her skin was as smooth as her skin, which was an ordinary statement.

Ace smiled and took two bites of the cake: "We will pass by Shuangyue Village in a moment."

"I've asked the captain to prepare the boat."

"It's really bothering you."

Nami waved her hand: "It should be."

The two left the hall and came to the merchant ship's living area. At this moment, a sailor was waiting there. When he saw the two coming, he opened the iron door without saying a word.

There was another small boat inside, Ace's boat.

"You can go to the sea at any time."

The two Esnami got on the boat, and an iron chain lowered his boat into the sea.

Watching the merchant ship gradually move away.

Ace breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to let go.

On the merchant ship, he wore an evening dress, and every time he spoke, he had to put on a show, talking about topics that seemed very elegant, but in essence, he was just like the pretty, powerful person at the cocktail party, the possibility of good friends, and the rich and powerful person. show off.

This made Ace very uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Nami, although a little tired, was not disgusted. After all, this was a necessary skill for her in the past.

Throwing the evening gown into the box, Ace rubbed his shoulders.

"Is this a noble? It's really... hard to accept."

Recalling what Deus said, becoming a nobleman would lead a stable life, so he gave it a try, but the result was not ideal. He felt that he was not suitable at all.

"Aristocrats are actually just people who think they are superior to others." Nami sighed. This was something she realized a few years ago.

"..." Ace shook his head and said, "There are some nobles who are not..."

Nami was stunned and didn't understand why Ace, who had always been cold to the nobles, suddenly spoke up for the nobles.

She was very curious, but since Ace didn't say anything, she didn't feel comfortable asking.

Ace, on the other hand, recalled his childhood friend, Sabo. He should be conquering a certain country in the South China Sea now, right?Thinking of him looking at the red fruit in his backpack.

Giving him perhaps the best option, or even skipping his fate.

But the revolutionary army is not that easy to find. I hope they can be found as soon as possible, but even if they are found, will Sabo be able to recall what happened to him?

Ace's thoughts were a little confused.

…………

Frost Moon Village.

Kozaburo Shigezuki came to the remote East China Sea from the distant country of Wano and rescued everyone in Shuoyue Village. Because of the need and the enthusiasm of the villagers, Genzaburo chose to settle down.

He gave birth to Shigetsuki Koushiro, Zoro's master, Kuina's father, and the forger of Wadou Ichimonji.

Ace arrived at the dojo. At this moment, a group of half-grown children were waving bamboo swords in the square.

"Ha!" X38

Ace looked a little confused, could this really make him stronger?

It sounds like he has never practiced before, he thought as he tilted his head.

The director of Isshin Dojo, Shigetsuki Koushiro, came to Ace.

"Excuse me, do you need help?"

Ace looked at the middle-aged man with a peaceful face. He put his hand on the knife and smiled: "I want to learn some basics."

"?"

Koushiro looked at the saber on Ace's waist, and then at him himself, and felt a burning sensation as if there was nothing there.

"This is the sword's power. If you have already understood the power, you shouldn't need to learn the basics, right?"

Swordsmen. Those who can understand the trend are unique geniuses. It is like an investment master suddenly returning to elementary school and saying that he needs to learn mathematics. This is such a fantasy.

Ace shook his head, picked up the knife, and swung it.

The movements are very smooth.

But Koushiro understood that what he wanted to learn was really the basics. After all, the boy in front of him held the knife in a strange way, as if he was holding a stick. The force of swinging the knife relied entirely on his arms.

"Okay...but..."

Ace took out a stack of Baileys from his waist and put it solemnly in front of Koushiro, which made Koushiro wave his hands quickly and said: "That's not what I meant, and this is too much."

Sweat appeared on his forehead, and he quickly explained: "In your situation, you should actually understand and explore on your own as the right path."

Koushiro smiled and said: "As the saying goes, practice again and again, swing again and again, feel the feeling again and again. Believe in yourself, and you have a very unique insight in the aspect of momentum. You only need to apply this insight to exerting force and holding the sword. But, maybe you can find one that suits you better.”

Ace blinked his eyes: "Can I still find the strength and holding the knife by myself?"

Koushiro smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's like building a house. You have already built a house. If the foundation is suddenly changed, your original house will collapse. And you dig down along the house and consolidate the foundation, so that you can Make your own way.”

Ace nodded.

This is indeed good advice.

You must know that it has not been a month since he picked up the knife, so he has always subconsciously thought that his basic skills are not good.

In the past life, there was a saying that said, "A tall building rises from the ground." Without a good foundation, it may collapse directly.

So he came to lay a solid foundation.

But the other party advised him to figure it out by himself. Although he felt something was wrong, it didn't seem to be a problem.

Holding the knife and exerting force are two things he lacks.

If mastered well, the power of his Flowing Fire Blade can be further enhanced.

"Then I just need to practice swinging the sword again and again? Like them?" Ace pointed at the thirty or so children in the dojo.

Koushiro thought for a while but nodded. Now Ace really only needs these basic sword swings. It seems that the advanced sword skills are not needed and even come with them.

Koushiro was a little helpless. This was the first time he had seen this situation.

...We have a really strange guest here today.

Like the children of the Ace Scholars, they held wildfire in both hands. In front of the one-step tower, the light of the sword flashed, and Koushiro watched as a hole was opened on the wooden floor of his dojo.

"hiss..."
