Pirate, Chief of Justice

In the woods, in a wide dojo, a squinting little boy was swinging his sword hard.

From the sweat dripping from his feet, you can tell that the little boy has been training for a long time.

Although the bamboo sword gradually slowed down due to fatigue, the little boy did not stop because of fatigue.

Instead, he gritted his teeth and completed every basic movement in a standard way.

Under the woods, a middle-aged man was lying comfortably on a recliner, watching the little boy who was working hard.

He also had a pot of wine in his hand, and from time to time he pinched a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth.

Shimotsuki Kosaburo watched his son's hard training with satisfaction.

He was about to say something encouraging, but suddenly stopped.

He stood up from the chair, looked up at the sky, his eyes full of vigilance, and his hand unconsciously touched the sword at his waist.

"Excuse me, which gentleman is in the sky?"

"Please come down and talk!"

Shimotsuki Kosaburo listened to his father's words, and also looked up at the sky curiously, because he knew his father's strength.

The person who could make his father show such an expression must be very strong.

Although Shimotsuki Koshiro was a little scared, he still held the bamboo sword tightly in his hand.

But when he looked up at the sky, it was clear and there was not even a cloud.

Just then, a gentle voice came from behind Shimotsuki Koshiro.

"Hey, what are you looking at, little guy?"

"There is not even a cloud in the sky."

Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't even turn his head and drew his sword to cut back.

Rotsmanti looked at the attacking bamboo sword and smiled and stretched out a finger to press against the bamboo sword.

"Little guy, what a fierce attack. You are a genius to have such strength at such a young age."

"Mr. Kosaburo, your son is very good."

After seeing the person clearly, Kosaburo put away his vigilance and let the man in front of him play with his child.

Shimotsuki Saburo smiled and looked at Rotsmandy:

"How did Commodore Rotsmandy, the famous rising star of the navy, have time to come to my small place?"

"Compared to my son. He reached the position of admiral at the age of less than 20."

"You are the one-in-a-million genius."

Rotsmandy smiled and said:

"Excuse me, Mr. Kosaburo. When I was looking for medicine for my teacher, I heard that someone had seen a great swordsman."

"I brought my friends to visit. My two friends are both swordsmen. I want to come and ask you for advice."

Shimotsuki Kosaburo listened to Rotsmandy's explanation and smiled.

"Your friends are the two outside the door, right?"

"Even through the door, I can feel the sharp sword intent emanating from them."

Rotsmandy smiled and nodded and looked outside the door.

"Gion, Salona, ​​come in, Mr. Kozaburo already knows you."

The door was pushed open, and Gion and Salona walked into Kozaburo's house one after another.

As soon as the two entered the door, they knew that the man in front of them was a real great swordsman.

Although Kozaburo had tried his best to restrain himself, the two of them were both swordsmen at the level of swordsmen, and they were slowly exploring their swordsmanship.

Therefore, they had a very strong sense of swordsmanship.

In just a moment, they felt the oppression emanating from Shimotsuki Kozaburo.

He who could exert a certain degree of oppression on the swordsman must be a great swordsman.

The two looked at each other, and when they looked at Shimotsuki Kozaburo again, their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Gion took a step forward and performed a swordsman's etiquette to Kozaburo.

"Captain Gion, I came here to ask the great swordsman for advice."

Kozaburo smiled and waved his hand and said

"I can't do it anymore for some reasons. This is the oath I made with my swordsman's heart."

"I'm sorry that you came here for nothing."

Gion and Salona were both stunned when they heard this, although they didn't know why.

But both of them gave up the idea of ​​fighting with the great swordsman in front of them.

The oath made by the swordsman with his swordsman's heart is to be protected with his life.

Rotsmandi laughed and said:

"In that case, can you buy us a glass of water?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo smiled and said:

"Of course, please come to the house for a chat. I have some good tea in my hand for the brigadier general to taste."

Several people entered the house and sat down. Koshiro took out some tea leaves from the inner room.

After making tea for several people, he sat obediently next to his father and looked at Rotsmandi curiously.

Rotsmandy smiled at Koshiro who was looking at her.

It turns out that when Shimotsuki Koshiro was a child, he had squinty eyes.

Rotsmandy smiled and greeted Koshiro:

"Hey, kid, whyWhy do you look at me like this?"

Koshiro looked at Rotsmandy who greeted him, and then looked at his father.

Kosaburo nodded and said with a smile:

"It's okay, Shiro, the navy gentleman in front of you is a very righteous man."

"You can tell me anything you want to know."

Seeing that his father agreed, Koshiro bowed to Rotsmandy and said:

"Mr. Mandy, I used all my strength to swing the bamboo sword at you just now."

"In theory, you will break the bamboo sword if you resist."

"But the bamboo sword is not damaged at all, not even a dent."

"I'm curious, how did you do it?"

Rotsmandy smiled and said:

"This, in fact, your father also understands it."

"In the words of you swordsmen, it means to cut whatever I want to cut. ”

“To cut what I want to cut, actually has two meanings, to be able to cut everything, and to be able to not cut everything.”

“It is a skill of using strength, little guy, you can also reach this level if you work hard.”

Kosaburo smiled and touched Koshiro’s head and said:

“Mr. Mandy in front of you is right, he has reached the realm of intention, and the other two in front of you.”

“If I am not mistaken, this lady should be just one step away from the final step, right?”

“This gentleman is still a long way away, but there is only one step left.”

Gion and Salona nodded in agreement.

Gion said: “Although it is only one step away from the final step, I always feel like something is missing.”

“The realm of a great swordsman can never be reached, no matter how much you practice, it is of no use at all.”

“This is also the biggest purpose of our coming to you. ”

Kousaburo smiled and shook his head when he heard what Gion said.

“Madam, you have fallen into the misunderstanding that all swordsmen have.”

“You must know that flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain of the outside world.”

“The realm of a great swordsman is not the next realm of a swordsman.”

“If the realm of a swordsman is compared to a piece of wood that can be connected.”

“The realm below the swordsman is a piece of unformed wood.”

“The great swordsman is the stick formed by connecting these pieces of wood.”

“It can be said that the great swordsman is a swordsman who has realized his inner self and integrated what he has learned.”

“You need to fight continuously and constantly understand what you have learned in the battle.”

“You can’t train a great swordsman by training.”

Gion and Salona heard Kosaburo’s explanation, and they all suddenly realized and thanked Kosaburo gratefully:

“Thank you for your guidance, teacher! ! "

Kosaburo smiled and waved his hands

"This is just some tips from a useless swordsman to the up-and-coming talent. I am not worthy of the title of teacher."

Rotsmandy smiled and said

"There are different levels of enlightenment, and the one who is enlightened is the teacher. You have solved the confusion for my two friends."

"You have pointed out the way for them in the future. It is right to call you a teacher."

"Thank you very much for pointing out the confusion for my two friends."

After hearing this, Kosaburo nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

Rotsmandy asked curiously at this time.

"Excuse me, what exactly is the reason for you to use the sword heart to swear and not to fight again?"

After hearing this, Kosaburo shook his head and sighed, and said:

"These are all old things that I will not mention."

"How about this, it's time for dinner now, please have a simple meal in my dojo, how about it? "

Seeing that Kosaburo was unwilling to mention it, Rotsmandi did not ask any more questions.

But Rotsmandi already had the answer in her heart.

Is this Wano Country...
