I am brushing up materials in One Piece

After using the three moves, Kos finally felt a lot smoother. At the same time, he finally understood what the extra things in his brain and body were.

Those were the three sword moves he had just performed. Not only did he have the methods of performing those three moves in his mind, but his body also had muscle memory for these moves.

These three moves were named "Cross Slash", "Army-Breaking Dragon Strike" and "Reverse Moonlight Slash" by Kos respectively. The origin of the name is the same as Bie Yun's from a certain game that was said to be obsolete a few years ago. .

After sheathing Bie Yun's sword, Kosi walked towards Koushiro and asked with some uneasiness: "How is it?"

Although he feels good about himself, Kos is still a little worried that he is just showing up.

"not bad."

Koushiro gave a familiar comment.

Kos finally felt at ease. It seemed that the skill level improved by using materials had no obvious side effects.

"Speaking of which, there are heavy traces of imitation in your moves. Do you improve yourself by learning from the people you fight against?"

Koushiro pointed out some clues in Kos's moves.

The inspiration for Cross Slash comes from the swordsman pirate and Zoro: The swordsman pirate's ability to launch attacks from various weird angles and to be able to come back very quickly even after being deflected allows Kos to be able to attack in a very short time. Swinging two swords horizontally and vertically within a certain period of time; and the idea of ​​forming a cross-shaped slash to block the enemy's dodge direction came from Sauron's Ghost Slash.

The Army-Breaking Dragon Strike is basically a replica of the last move Rakra used against Zoro.

The Counter-Moonlight Slash is a simplified version of Sauron's Tiger Hunt. By raising the sword behind you to increase the time to apply force to the sword before swinging it out, you can increase the strength of the attack.

"It's sort of like that."

Kos smiled and nodded. He also discovered this. His moves were derived from the moves of the three people who obtained the skill materials.

"Hey! Let's have another fight."

Zoro, who noticed that Kos seemed to have become much stronger, immediately became interested again and wanted to fight the stronger Kos to separate the senior and junior brothers again.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Kos rejected Sauron's invitation cleanly.

"coward!"

Zoro childishly tried to anger Kos.

But Kos was not moved at all. He just imitated Koushiro and said with a smile: "Please add 'senior brother', even if he is a coward, he is still your senior brother now!"

Faced with Kos's shameless performance, Zoro really had no choice but to grit his teeth and express his dissatisfaction.

"I'm going to bed!"

Zoro felt that he didn't want to see Kos again in a short time, so he ran directly back to his room.

"That kid hasn't been that motivated in a long time."

Looking at Zoro's leaving figure, Koushiro nodded happily.

Kos knew that the reason behind this was probably Guina's death, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I will not hand over my title of senior brother."

Kos said confidently.

"Oh, you are very confident! That kid is not weak, you may not always be able to beat him."

Koushiro looked at Kos with interest, always feeling that he should not be such a confident and motivated person.

"hey-hey."

Kos smiled proudly,

"As long as I don't fight him, that's fine. As long as I don't fight him a second time, even if he becomes the world's greatest swordsman, he still has to call me senior brother."

"Pfft-"

Koushiro finally couldn't help laughing. At first, he thought Costo was serious, but he didn't expect that he was actually a living treasure.

"Looks like we won't be bored anymore."

The days at Yishin Dojo passed like this day by day. Although Kosi did not improve his skill level as quickly as that night because he no longer had the source of skill materials, he could still feel his progress through non-stop training.

In the second month after arriving at Isshin Dojo, Kos packed up his clothes and some belongings and left the dojo.

He was about to set off to Rogge Town to meet Ace and see if he could settle his grudges with the Bato Club.

"I thought a coward like you wouldn't dare go to sea."

Zoro leaned against the door of the dojo and joked to Kos.

But Kos nodded directly and admitted: "Yes, I really don't dare to go to sea, but some things always have to be dealt with. And at best, I am only traveling by boat, not going to sea."

As the saying goes, a man who is shameless is invincible. To Sauron, Kos's countermeasure is tantamount to the most watertight defensive swordsmanship in the world, which is completely unbreakable.

So Sauron could only turn his face away angrily and no longer look at Kos.

"How long will it take for you to come back from this trip?"

Koushiro asked Kos in a rather elder-like manner.

Kos thought for a while and then gave the answer: "I should be able to come back in a little more than a month."

When he took the merchant ship from Rogge Town, he was told that it would take about ten days to go to Shuangyue Village. One trip would take more than twenty days. Adding in the time to deal with things and some time set aside for accidents, it should be a little more than a month. is enough.

"Oh."

Koushiro nodded and said,

"The cherry blossoms in the back mountain will almost bloom by then. Waiting for you to come back..."

"say no more!"

Seeing Koushiro about to raise the flag, Kosi quickly stopped him.

"what happened?"

Koushiro looked surprised. He couldn't figure out why Kos had such a big reaction.

Kos scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "In my hometown, it is very ominous to make such an agreement when you come back when you are leaving. It may bring bad luck."

"Oh, that's really an interesting custom."

Koushiro nodded with interest. He said nothing more, just waved and said,

"Well then, I wish you a safe journey."

"Then I'll go!"

Kos also waved goodbye to Koushiro and Zoro.

After leaving the dojo, Kos rushed to the port of Shuangyue Village and caught a passing merchant ship.

Because Shuangyue Village is not an important port like Rogge Town, this merchant ship cannot take Kos directly to Rogge Town, and it requires several transfers on the way.

After the merchant ship set sail, Cos came to the deck of the merchant ship. He leaned on the bow and looked at the invisible sea water in front of him. He couldn't help but feel worried.

Although he stopped the flag that Koushiro set for him in time, the shaking of the ship's hull caused by the rippling waves still made him, who likes to keep his feet on the ground, uneasy.

"It's okay. I can't possibly encounter accidents when I go to sea twice in a row!"

Kos comforted himself by talking to himself, but he forgot that this behavior itself was setting a flag.
