The Pirate Incarnate as Thunder

Chapter 548 Yixiao and Koushiro

East China Sea, Frost Moon Village.

"Hold the hilt of the sword with both hands, arms level with the body, and swing the sword two steps forward."

"Hahaha"

"Everyone is doing well with their hands, but don't forget your feet. If you want to become a qualified swordsman, a steady pace is also very important."

Outside the Isshin Dojo, morning classes were held as usual every day. Wearing round glasses, an oval face, and guiding the students with a smile, it was the dojo's master "Koshiro".

"Okay, my feet are much more stable this time. Let's do it a few more times."

"Okay, everyone did a good job. Don't let your body forget this rhythm during the one-on-one training later. Let's go back and have breakfast."

"Thank you teacher for your guidance. Thank you for your hard work."

After bowing together to express their gratitude, the already hungry people dispersed in all directions. In the past, they would have eaten together in the restaurant of the dojo, but now that the master's wife has become much weaker after giving birth to "Kuina", they can only We can go home and have our meals separately.

"Okay, today's competition"

After watching the children leave the gate with a smile, Koushiro, who was thinking about something, turned his smile to confusion, because a figure with a cross scar on his forehead, a cane in his hand, and a very upright body appeared in front of the gate: "You are"

"Shiro, I'm here"

As soon as the affectionate name came out, the confusion on Koushiro's face disappeared, replaced by a look of surprise on his face: "Ichi, is it really you?"

"Yes, Shiro, please forgive me for taking the liberty of coming here."

"How could it be? It's too late for me to be happy."

After being surprised, Koushiro ran over quickly, stretched out his hands and hugged the visitor after a long separation. This was a smile from the new world.

"City, your eyes"

"I feel ashamed to say that I did it myself. It's a pity that I can't see you like you are now."

With a guilty smile on his face, he touched the scar, once again bringing back memories that were etched in his heart and could never be forgotten.

After calming down, Koushiro remembered the newspaper he had read before: "It seems that a lot of things have happened. Let's sit down and talk."

"That's disturbing."

After coming to the dojo and sitting down, Koushiro looked at Yixiao's face that had gone through many vicissitudes of life, and couldn't help but think a lot: "You have really changed a lot, blind swordsman, Yixiao."

The person who was called out as another person smiled with regret on his face: "I'm sorry for you."

"It's been so many years. Everyone has their moments when they are young and frivolous. It's time for you to let it go. Smile, it's all over."

Koushiro sighed, smiled to comfort himself and shook his head stubbornly: "Shiro, I will never forget that day, and I don't intend to forgive myself for coming here this time. I want to tell you about the changes in my hometown."

"What happened to my hometown, Wano Country?"

As soon as he mentioned "hometown" with a smile, Koushiro's heart tightened. Did the "Great Pirate Age" affect even the country that never communicated with the outside world?

"Guangyue Clan"

With a smile, he told the story of the changes in Wano Country. Koushiro, who listened quietly, had a mixed expression: "Maybe after experiencing the baptism of war and fire, there will be a different world. No, do you want to go back with a smile?"

"Yes, I thought a lot on the way down. Instead of blindly escaping from the past, it's better to have the courage to face it head-on. This is"

A certain familiar feeling made Yixiao turn his body and look at the tall and thin figure that appeared. Koushiro smiled apologetically: "That's right. Sorry, Mr. Mihawk, I'm afraid I won't be able to spar with you today."

The appearance of Eagle Eye surprised Yixiao: "Your Excellency Mihawk"

"Mr. Smile"

The first reaction when seeing the smiling Hawkeye was to bow slightly, and then asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

"it is good"

Koushiro, who suddenly clapped his hands, interrupted the two of them and extended an invitation enthusiastically: "It's just time to eat. Let's chat while eating."

Yixin Dojo, inner courtyard.

"Get down, get down, get down"

"Okay, Kuina, be good, be good."

Although his daughter, who is less than 1 year old, still cannot call her "daddy", Koushiro still smiles as brightly as the sun.

"Shiro, no matter what decision you make, I will support you, don't have too many scruples."

On the bed paved with tatami, there was a woman with short ear-length hair who was half-siting on the bed with a slightly pale face. She encouraged her husband who was having an intimate interaction with his daughter with a gentle smile and words, although he was still smiling as usual. He couldn't see much difference, but it was enough to make him, who had a strong sense of responsibility, suspend his teaching, which meant that the matter was serious.

"Xiaoya oh oh"

Koushiro patted his daughter gently, watching her little eyelids slowly begin to twitch, and then she fell into a sweet sleep: "It's better to make a decision after hearing it. The person outside, his name is Ichi, is me."

Koushiro opened his chatterbox and told his wife about the "not so glorious" past in a soft voice.

The story is not complicated, but it has twists and turns. He and Yixiao were partners who grew up in the same small town.

Yixiao is an orphan, but he comes from a famous family, the Longma family, ranking fourth.

The reputation of his ancestor as the "Dragon-Slaying Samurai" made Ryoma's family extremely strict in his upbringing. However, he had a weak personality and was incompatible with the family style. Therefore, he was not only the least favored at home, but was also always bullied by his peers outside.

The reason has to do with personality, but more so with the identity of Ryoma's descendants. People stubbornly believe that challenging and defeating the descendants of Ryoma's family can prove their strength.

At that time, Yixiao was a weird guy who was addicted to gambling but never cheated. The two of them should not have crossed paths. After a fight with a casino guest over the problem of cheating, Yixiao was beaten black and blue. And I happened to meet myself who was being bullied when I was angry.

So Yixiao angrily beat away those peers, and he also brought medicine from home to help treat the injuries. After going back and forth, they became good friends.

After having companions, the daily heavy training and harsh family rules didn't seem so difficult anymore. Although they could only play secretly and privately because of their inconsistent status.

He thought that this kind of life would last forever, but the relationship was discovered on the day he turned 16 and came of age. The reason was that Yixiao wanted to give him a decent coming-of-age gift, and then he met a big name in a casino. 's subordinates.

The most hated person in his life was Yixiao, who fought with the other party and was celebrating his coming-of-age ceremony at home. When the daimyo heard about this, he naturally wanted to favor his subordinates.

As a result, the helpless Yixiao was slandered as a prankster and imprisoned for the "unfounded" charge of attempting to attack the daimyo. He was faced with the two choices of committing seppuku or being hanged.

He didn't want his only friend to die like this, but he didn't dare to publicly plead for mercy at the time, so he could only go to release Yixiao that night. After he succeeded, he was seen and reported. In order to protect the family's reputation, he was directly expelled from the country of Wano.

"In that case, I would like to thank you for your smile. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met you."

"That's right, haha"

"Go ahead, Shiro, make a break with the past and come back. Kuina and I will wait for you here."

His wife's tenderness and consideration made Koushiro restrain his smile in a rare moment: "No, Xiaoya and you are more important to me."

"But that's not what your eyes say."

"Hey, you still found me."

Koushiro scratched his head and smiled stupidly. Xiaoya was born with a weak constitution. If Yixiao could really find a doctor who could help her recuperate, then he would be able to return to his hometown with peace of mind. Although there was a reason for the difficulty in his hometown, What's more, they want to restore their innocence, and more importantly, they want to take advantage of this change to make their hometown no longer so ignorant and self-contained.
