Codex Pirates

Chapter Thirty-ninth Koshiro's Kendo

Koshiro planted a few cherry trees in the yard. It was already April, and the cherry trees were already full of pink cherry blossoms, which were fragrant and beautiful.

William looked at the cherry blossoms in a daze. He had just attended Wallon's funeral and was still wearing a black suit.

Because even the body could not be found, only Walloon's usual clothes could be put into the coffin.

Aramis still hated Edmund, and left silently after the funeral, while Edmond stayed alone in front of Wallon's tomb for a long time, talking to himself, not knowing what to say.

William wants to be alone. He is the core and pillar of the team. Tony can be depressed, Ajin can be depressed, Aramis can be angry, Edmond can complain about himself, and anyone else in the team can vent themselves in front of others. Negative emotions, but in today's adversity, William can't.

He has to stabilize the heart, internally, externally.

Two footsteps sounded from behind, William turned his head, and it turned out that Koshiro walked over holding Kuina's little hand.

"William!" Guina also attended Walloon's funeral, wearing a plain dress.

Her eyes were swollen from crying at the funeral just now, and she saw William standing alone under the cherry blossom tree with a sad face. For some reason, this scene made her cry again.

In the small group, William is too old mentally, treats Guina like a child, Aramis is mean, Arkin is too boring, Edmond is proud, only Wallon is the most honest and has a childlike innocence, and he treats Guina the most. Well, the relationship between the two is also the best.

"Aramis said that he would go to sea to avenge Wallon," Guina rubbed her eyes and choked up, "Don't go to sea, okay? I don't want you to have an accident."

The sadness on William's face had been put away, and he looked at the open space without speaking. Seeing this, Koshiro sighed, patted Kuina on the head, and asked her to fetch the words of Kadoichi.

"I can feel that you have a strong desire to kill." After Kuina left, Koshiro said shyly, "You are the most talented student in the dojo, and you will definitely become a great swordsman in the future..."

William interrupted: "Teacher, you should be able to see that I have never been a pure swordsman. Edmond, Wallon, and even Kuina may be willing to be a pure swordsman, but I never."

Koshiro showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he didn't try to persuade him anymore. From William's scheming to become the godfather of local smuggling in just one year, he knew that although he was young, he was determined, had his own goals, and had the ability to achieve them. Ability is not someone who is easily persuaded.

The atmosphere became a little silent, and after a while, Kuina came back holding the words of Kazuichi, and Koshiro said: "Since you have decided to go to sea, William, I will teach you something."

"Anger is a power!"

Koshiro held up the words of He Daoyi in front of him, and slowly drew out the sword: "But you should control it, not let it control you in turn!"

As the blade was pulled out of the scabbard bit by bit, Koshiro's demeanor became colder and colder, his face was no longer peaceful, only a calm look remained.

After Koshiro pulled out the sword, he came under the cherry tree, held his breath for a moment, and suddenly hit the tree trunk with the handle of the sword.

He used his strength quite skillfully, the cherry tree just shook slightly, but the petals of the cherry blossoms fell like snowflakes.

Koshiro danced his sword under the fluttering cherry tree, chopping or slashing, picking or stabbing, his figure gradually became faster, and his footwork turned, abandoning the routine of teaching the students in the dojo, and swaying the sword freely, Constantly changing, but not messy and disorderly, with a unique rhythm.

Koshiro swung the sword faster and faster, and the wind brought by the sword dance almost rolled up the cherry blossoms flying around him, fluttering with his movements, making his figure seem to be wrapped in cherry blossoms.

Kuina opened her mouth wide, while William stared solemnly at Koshiro's figure wrapped in cherry blossoms.

Koshiro's speed gradually slowed down, and the cherry blossoms around him gradually fell to the ground. None of the pink cherry blossom petals were intact.

Gradually, all the cherry blossoms around Koshiro's body fell to the ground, and only one intact cherry blossom petal fluttered up and down with his gentle sword move. Dance with the words of He Dao.

Koshiro moves slowly, and William can clearly see that this "butterfly" landed on the blade of the Wadaichi character several times. At this time, Koshiro will release his force extremely skillfully, making the decisive Hedao character look like it is always It didn't hurt Sakura in the slightest.

William is no longer a rookie when he just crossed. After a few years of study, he has a deeper understanding of swordsmanship, and he can better understand the brilliance of Koshiro's swordsmanship. His eyes are bright, staring at Koshiro slowly. The vigorous sword dance.

After a while, Koshiro let out a breath and stopped his sword moves. As he stopped, the cherry blossoms would fall to the ground. Unexpectedly, Koshiro pinched the petals, and then looked at the petals under William's shocked eyes. The petals of the cherry blossoms took a breath, and the petals of the cherry blossoms immediately turned into tiny pieces and fell into the mud.

"The heart is the pattern." Koshiro said to William after calming down his breathing.

After Koshiro finished speaking, he waved his sword casually, his movements seemed more relaxed and gentle than before, but following his movements, a piece of the courtyard at least five meters away from the three of them was used as a decoration. The hard bluestone is cut in half by the invisible knife wind like tofu.

"When your heart is strong enough, you will naturally be able to control the sword in your hand."

"At this time, the knife in your hand is no longer a dead thing, it is a part of your body, you have to regard it as your own hands, it can be as strong as a fist, or it can be caressed as if you spread your hands It is the same as femininity and softness, and the way of changing hardness and softness depends on the sword holder himself." Koshiro put the words of He Dao into the scabbard, and said softly.

William subconsciously glanced at his hands, then at the knife at his waist, as if realizing something.

Just as William was contemplating Koshiro's exquisite swordsmanship and sword theory, the message of Destiny Square appeared in his mind again, and several lines of information appeared out of thin air:

"[Introductory swordsmanship] is promoted to [basic swordsmanship]."

"The path of destiny [Swordsmanship Wizard] has been cleared."

"Gain the special specialty [Zen Swordsmanship]."

"Achievement Specialty [Blessing to the Heart]"

William was shocked.
