One Piece: My Spirit

A person's spiritual world is a collection of these seemingly "illusory" things such as his spirit, heart, soul, willpower and so on.

Words such as the spiritual world, the spiritual world, the sea of ​​souls, etc., actually have almost the same meaning, but the secular and people's names are different, and they are essentially the same.

The spiritual world is the most mysterious and important place in a person or living body besides the physical body. It is the collection of will and the embodiment of will!

Simply put, it's 'myself'!
There are three major philosophical questions in life.

who am I?
where am i from?
where am i going
It is precisely because every creature has a spiritual world that the definition of 'I' and the act of 'thinking' appear.

But when one no longer has the spiritual world or is shattered, the 'I' also ceases to exist.

The spirit and the body are inseparable, so when the 'I' is no longer there, it becomes an empty shell of the walking dead.

So. When Shire's spiritual world disappears, it is also the time when the person named 'Shire' disappears.

In the spiritual world, Charles doesn't know the so-called concept of time. Time may have passed for a long time, but it may only be fleeting.

No matter what it is, Shire is almost at the limit at this time!
The black shadows also seem to be endless, no matter how many times Shire penetrates and destroys them, these black shadows will always appear and replenish again from places Shire doesn't know!
Ciel knew that perhaps it wasn't how powerful these shadows were. From their inability to break through Ciare's defense line, one could see their true strength, but they couldn't stand up to the huge amount of these shadows!
In other words, Charles didn't lose in strength, but in 'understanding'!
The 'understanding' of the spiritual world is much worse than that of the other party. After all, this is the first time Shire has fought in the spiritual world.

If you can't find out the key, Shire won't be able to break the game!

At this time, Shire's spiritual world is like a doomsday scene, which also shows that Shire's spiritual world is already crumbling and in a state of collapse at any time!
Now there is no 'Ruyi' wooden sword by his side to save him, but to save Shire.
"only myself!!!"

The saint saves people, the strong saves himself!
As Charles said to Hancock not long ago, no one will answer your call, and the only one who can save himself is himself!
At this time, Charles' deep eyes became brighter, but at the same time they became deeper, and two extremely contradictory images appeared that were impossible to appear in the first place!
After the heart of the mirror and still water, it is a higher level, the state of self and the state of no self!
Also known as, there is a heart of me, but there is no heart of me!
It is for the realm of people and the realm of things!

The realm of man, with my heart, is exactly the way of swordsmanship Shire has practiced all the way up to now, with me as the main, with me as the dominant, with me as the color, with me as the way, this is the "my way"!
The realm of things, the heart of selflessness, blending in the nature of all things, taking things as the main, taking the things as the leading, coloring with things, and entering the Tao with things, this is the "Tao of Things"!
When the mind turns, everything has my feelings, which is for the unity of heaven and man!

Turn your mind to your wish, forget things and me, transcend things, it is for Taoism to follow nature!
"I" and "natural things", there is me in you, and you in me, one is to enter the thing with emotion, and the other is to express the emotion in the thing, there is no distinction between the two, it is just a moment of thousands of thoughts, different understandings of the things in front of you.

At this time, the brilliance flowing in those black eyes is like the shining stars appearing in the deep and empty universe, so magnificent!

The spiritual world, which was originally like a doomsday scene, instantly seemed to be stained with a layer of black. The shining streamer, the sword dance of the dragon snake, the falling meteor, the stars in the void, and the endless black shadows were all swallowed up by this nothingness world!

But in reality, Charles slowly opened his eyes, the deep black eyes were full of strange brilliance, but soon dimmed until they returned to their original state.

After returning to reality, a strong sense of dizziness and loss of strength followed, and at the same time, there was a sense of exhaustion that seemed to come from the depths of the soul!
Bang!
At this time, Charles seemed to be unable to bear the weight of his body, and fell straight to the ground. His extremely tired body made it almost impossible to move his whole body.

"Is this a blessing in disguise?"

"But, really tired, very tired, very tired!"

It seemed that the exhaustion from the depths of the soul was exhausting Charles' spirit, and he just wanted to close his eyes immediately and take a good rest and sleep!
No!

Charles bit the tip of his tongue to stimulate his nerves, and tremblingly took out the only berry left on his body from his thin trousers with hands as heavy as a jack.

The man took a bite out of this pomelo fruit in embarrassment.
Why didn't I find that the pomelo fruit is so strong before?
In fact, Xia Er knew that he couldn't even use his teeth quickly. Since he couldn't bite, then... swallow it!
Charles swallowed the grapefruit, which was less than the size of a palm, alive in a rather embarrassing way, and then spread it motionless on the ground like a corpse.

Although the consciousness and spirit are becoming more and more blurred, the body can't feel any power at all, and it can't even feel the consciousness.

It's like the "soul leaves the body after death" described in the novel, but this is just Shire's imagination.

But this feeling of being unable to feel his own body, as if he only had consciousness left, reminded Charles of a word 'separation of body and soul'.

Obviously he couldn't feel any weight through his body, but Xia Er's vague consciousness felt that he seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, a strange feeling like a fairy.

Charles didn't know how long the time had passed. Suddenly, he felt like he was dissipating with the wind. At the same time, Charles felt a heavy force in himself that seemed to be pulling his soul.

At the same time, there seems to be a stream of warmth coming from the body that could not be sensed at first!
The feeling of the body is gradually coming back!
"Phew~ I finally came back to life?!"

Feeling the gradual recovery of his body, Charles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.

"I didn't expect that weird mental attack didn't kill me, but I almost sent myself away." Charles looked at his palm with a wry smile.

Charles knew that with that weird mental attack, he would not let himself lose his life. The real reason why he almost died was the emptiness he created at the end!

"But after this time, I got a blessing in disguise, and this weird black shadow and mental attack finally made me understand!"
