I am brushing up materials in One Piece

Koushiro said that he was unwilling to teach Kosi real swordsmanship, but when he actually taught it, he didn't show any perfunctoriness.

When he got up early the next morning, he asked Cos to swing his sword. Koushiro did not directly teach Cos how to do it, but asked him to swing it a few times based on his own feeling before testifying against him. I trained by myself and made breakfast by myself.

After breakfast was made, Koushiro stopped Cos. After breakfast, he took out some basic swordsmanship books for him to read.

While Kos was reading, the children of Shuoyue Village also came to the dojo one after another. They had a good impression of Kos, the big brother who bought them apples, but Koushiro told them not to disturb Kos, so Kos was not surrounded by children.

While Koushiro was guiding the children's training, Kos sat quietly in a corner of the dojo and read the swordsmanship books given by Koushiro.

The characters and language in this world are not Japanese, but a product similar to the fusion of Japanese and English. Both kana kanji and English can be seen in the characters, and the pronunciation is closer to Japanese. But this did not have a big impact on Cos, because the Chinese translation would naturally appear on the words he saw. Even if the pronunciation of what others said was not clear, he could still understand the meaning accurately. At the same time, he said His words don't seem to be abnormal to others and they can be understood accurately.

After all, you can gain experience and level up by swiping people, so it’s normal to have a real-time translation function, right? (It’s definitely not that I forgot the temporary supplementary setting, absolutely not!)

In addition to detailed explanations of some swordsmanship movements, the books Koushiro brought also included introductory guidance on meditation and visualization. Although he was still a little unclear, out of his trust in Koushiro, Kos still looked at them all equally.

The dojo was full of children in training, and Kos naturally had no space to practice those sword skills, so he could only try meditation and visualization that only required sitting still.

First, calm down and get rid of all distracting thoughts...

"Hey!"

"drink!"

……

The crisp sound of practice echoing in the dojo became the first obstacle in front of Kos.

So he could only flip through the book to see if he could find a way to eliminate external influences. In the book "Meditation Method", there was a chapter "How can novices isolate interference?" 》 brochure.

Kosi quickly opened it to see what tricks he could use, and then he saw that it contained reasonable but somewhat unexpected methods such as "putting cotton balls in ears" and "eye masks to block light".

Although he wanted to complain a little, Kos decided to do the same thing. He found some rags and stuffed them into his ears and covered his eyes. Although he could still hear a lot of noise after doing this, the impact on him was indeed much smaller.

Then Kos once again started to try to calm his mind according to what was said in the book, throw away all distracting thoughts, and just feel his own existence as much as possible.

In this way, Kos kept feeling, feeling, feeling...

at last!

He fell asleep.

It wasn't until Koushiro asked him to get up for lunch that Cosi realized that he had actually fallen asleep in the middle of the meal.

"Ah, this..."

For a moment, Kos couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face.

However, Koushiro didn't seem to mind that much. He smiled and said, "A good sleep is actually about the same effect as meditation, especially for someone like you who hasn't rested peacefully for a long time."

To be honest, since he came to this world, except for the first few days of being bedridden due to illness, Kosi has never slept very peacefully as Koushiro said. When we were in the backstreets, because I was a good old brother who was good at sneak attacks, I naturally didn’t dare to sleep too hard, otherwise it wouldn’t be fun if I was hit in the head with a brick in my sleep; later on the merchant ship For a period of time, it was not easy to fall asleep due to the bumps; and during the period on the isolated island, not only did we have to take turns to keep vigil, but there were no qualified beds, so it was usually good to rest for seven to eight minutes.

"Isn't that why you let me read these books?"

What does meditation and those somewhat mysterious concerns have to do with learning swordsmanship? Cos really couldn't figure it out, so he could only raise his question jokingly.

"Of course not, but it would be nice to improve your mental state by the way."

Koushiro was still smiling, he turned around and said,

"Let's go eat first. I'll give those children half a day off. I'll guide you slowly in the afternoon."

However, Koushiro noticed that Kos didn't follow him until he left the dojo, so he turned around and saw Kos struggling on the ground with a painful look on his face.

"what happened to you?"

Koushiro ran over nervously. He remembered that meditation should have no side effects, not to mention that Kos only fell asleep halfway through meditation.

"My legs are numb!"

An answer that made Koushiro dumbfounded came out of Kosi's mouth.

"Is Zoro not back yet?"

After entering the restaurant and finding that he and Koushiro were still alone, Kos couldn't help but ask questions.

"It's okay, it's still early. I remember one time he said he was going out to buy rice, and then he came back a week later dragging a bear."

There was no trace of worry in Koushiro's tone. It seemed that he was quite confident in Zoro's strength and Lu Chi attributes.

The dining table at Shigetsutsu Dojo is a low kneeling table, but you can actually sit cross-legged on a mat, and Koushiro doesn't ask for that much. His only rule at the dinner table was that he was not allowed to talk while eating.

Today’s lunch is white rice and the meat of some kind of sea animal with a few small green vegetables. It doesn’t look very rich and the portion is not very filling, but in fact you can refill the rice and meat by yourself, so at least there is no problem if you are full.

After lunch, Kosi helped Koshirō put away the dishes, while Koshirō poured Kos a cup of barley tea and then went to wash the dishes.

After Kos finished drinking the barley tea slowly, Koushiro also came out of the kitchen and took off his apron. And just when Kos thought he was going to start teaching him, Koushiro said he was going to take a nap.

"what about me?"

Kos asked.

"Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

Koushiro yawned as he spoke. His eyes, which were originally squinting, were now almost completely closed.

"I don't think I can sleep right now."

There is no nap schedule in Kos's biological clock at this season, let alone that he has just woken up from his trance.

"Then you continue to meditate, but this time you have to bring your knife with you, and feel its existence during the meditation."

"Feeling whom?"

"Your knife."
