Pirate's Swordsmanship Supreme

Koushiro smiled after hearing this, and then asked:

"Normally, Qiya, you don't have the time to drink tea with a boring uncle like me. You must have some questions to ask, right?"

Qi Ya simply nodded, and then said with a puzzled look:

"There is indeed something I don't understand. What the gym owner said a while ago is that the concept of kendo's 'mind and sword are unified' and 'Zen's sword is unified' sounds simple, but in practice it is completely clueless."

"I heard that there is a higher level of swordsmanship beyond the understanding of the breath of all things. Its expression is to form a substantial layer of Qi on the sword body, and then go up to make this layer of Qi separate from the sword body and achieve external release. Degree."

"I wonder if the museum owner has also reached that level..."

Regarding sword energy, this thing does exist in this world.

Among the scenes that impressed him most were the scene where Mihawk split an iceberg with his sword during the battle on top;

There is a scene where flower petals appear when Bista performs her sword skills;

There is a scene where Pluto Rayleigh, after two years of training with Luffy and his gang, cuts a huge ravine to prevent the navy from interfering with his apprentice's voyage;

There is a scene in Dressrosa when Zoro, after practicing for two years, cut the huge body of Pika, the stone fruit ability user, in half with one sword...

These are beyond the scope of ordinary sword skills, and those who can do these are undoubtedly the top swordsmen in the world at that time.

Compared to the moves of various Devil Fruit ability users, the simplicity of the sword energy was undoubtedly much weaker in terms of splendor. At the beginning of the soul piercing, he didn't think it was that great.

Even if we don’t mention the moves of natural devil fruit users who have shown invincibility from the beginning, such as Fire Fist Ace’s Sun Flame, Musket, Enokami Tsuna, Divine Fire Shiranui, Great Flame Ring Entei...

Properly developed moves for users with superhuman Devil Fruit abilities, such as Donquixote Doflamingo's air path, five-color thread, super whip, birdcage, shadow rider string, 16-shot holy bullets and divine punishment Killing, etc., is far more eye-catching than the flow of sword energy.

Until now, Qi Ya still maintains this view.

However, when he began to try to get in touch with the level of "Sword Qi", the feeling of being unable to start suddenly raised the status of "Sword Qi" in his heart.

A concept gradually took shape in his mind:

Those who can master sword energy are the real swordsmen, and the rest can only be regarded as fakes.

"..." After listening carefully to Qiya's words, Koushiro did not answer the question directly, but asked with a smile:

"Sword energy does exist, but there are very few people who can master it. Qiya, what do you think is the reason?"

"The requirements are very demanding!" Qi Ya said without thinking.

"Yes, the requirements are very demanding. This is what I want to tell you. Even the most talented swordsman will not be able to master the 'Sword Qi' in just a few months."

"Instead of being impatient and seeking speed, it is better to continue practicing step by step. When you accumulate enough, you will naturally be able to master the sword energy."

After Heihe finished speaking, Koushiro raised the tea cup and took a sip. Raindrops began to fall outside the courtyard, and soon a dense rain curtain formed.

"That's right, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes!"

Qi Ya rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. After saying this with a smile, he calmly looked at the heavy rain outside the eaves and came up with this thought inexplicably:

If I were also an esper, it would probably be uncomfortable walking in the rain right now...

Then he remembered that the other party had not answered his previous question, so out of curiosity, he asked again: "Master, have you mastered sword energy now?"

Hearing this, Koushiro put down the tea cup and stretched out his right index finger flatly through the dense rain curtain outside the eaves. Two or three seconds later, a layer of white air like a dagger appeared around the index finger.

That thing seemed to have substance. The moment it appeared, it cut through the dense rain curtain, and the originally ordinary index finger actually gave people a sharp feeling.

……

On the other side, the town of Champagne, the naval base.

Zach was standing on the open-air training platform wearing a dark green raincoat, watching a group of navy soldiers gathering their troops in a panic.

He was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, with an unconcealable rage on his baby face. His subordinates, who had been clumsy in the past, now looked particularly displeased.

The alarms at the base kept ringing, and the explosions that kept ringing near the town dock were still clearly audible at the open-air training ground.

A group of navy soldiers who had neglected training on weekdays suddenly encountered such a battle and panicked for a moment. At this time, they were thinking more not about rushing to quell the turmoil at the dock, but how to survive the inevitable melee that followed. Own.

The previous adjutant's report clearly reached everyone's ears.

The attackers were the Klick Pirates, who were famous throughout the East China Sea. I heard that they had more than twenty warships and two thousand men under their command. Each one of them was cruel and lawless.

On the other hand, our commander, Colonel Zach, is neither good-looking nor useful, but he has a high self-esteem. The only people who can be called combatants are the fifty or so people on this open-air training ground.

In the harsh weather environment, the old-fashioned flintlock guns that symbolized most of their military force were useless...

Under such conditions, people with a little bit of savvy know that there is no chance of winning this battle, and those who are more astute begin to suspect that their parents' actions are just to express their attitude, so that they can have an excuse when high-level officials are held accountable in the future. .

To successfully avoid accountability from senior management, it is definitely not enough to just act superficially.

It is very likely that Colonel Zak will let some of his own people die or be injured, and then naturally huddle in the base and wait for support from other branches.

"The pirates are getting more and more arrogant now. Have they even dared to make plans in places where the navy branch is stationed?" A soldier who had just joined the army said angrily.

Brown on the side happened to hear this voice, and his expression did not waver at all.

He is considered a smart person among a group of mediocre naval soldiers, and he has probably guessed what his parents are thinking. He does not want to become a victim to protect the interests of others, but in such a situation, necessary sacrifices are inevitable.

These young soldiers, who are full of a sense of justice and are just starting out, are too easily affected by their emotions.

In the end, it is very likely that the sacrifice of these people will fulfill Zach's plan.

The sword has no eyes, and Brown is not sure that he will be able to survive the brutal fight if he sees through Zach's tricks, so he is also a little depressed.

After a group of people had their own calculations, the team finally assembled. Zach instantly relaxed his brows and grinned:

"Just soldiers, now there is a group of overestimated pirates who are trying to attack our town of Champagne."

"They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. They are a bunch of out-and-out villains."

"I know that many of you are local residents of the town. Now, they are wantonly destroying our homes and bullying the townspeople we know well."

"Tell me, what should we do? Will our righteous navy be afraid of a mere group of pirates?"

As his parents' inflammatory words ended, Brown heard a cry of indignation.

"Kill all these scum!!"

"Let them have a taste of violence!!"
