Pirate: The Strongest Pirate Merchant

At this time, Lin En looked at Kuina, "You should feel their growth since last year.

Lin En looked at Zoro and others.

Kuina nodded.

Zoro thought Lin En was praising them and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Lin En continued: "As boys' bodies develop, their bones increase, and their corresponding skeletal muscles will be stronger than girls. And as time goes by, this physical gap will

It will get wider and wider, and the gap between you will gradually narrow in the future.

Kuina lowered her head, knowing that what Lin En said was true.

Zoro has been trying to catch up with her.

Of course, it wasn't Zoro's growth that made Kuina feel a sense of crisis.

It was Kuina who was in crisis and wavering about her future.

The speed of her progress is getting slower and slower.

Lin En said calmly: "Going to sea may not necessarily make you stronger. However, changing the environment will also change yourself. Do you want to try?"

Kuina is twelve years old this year.

If it were an ordinary family, a twelve-year-old would still be a child.

However, Shimotsuki Koshiro's family is from Wanokuni.

Shimotsuki Kozaburo was a samurai.

As a child of the Wu family, Gu Yina has had a strong personality since she was a child.

Moreover, her goal is to be the world's best swordsman.

Just from my personal dream, I am already stronger than more than 99.9999999% of girls of the same age in the world.

Therefore, after hearing Lin En's words, Koshiro was not angry, but looked at Kuina.

If Kuina was a boy, he would have gone out to practice by now.

Koshiro looked at Kuina: "Kuina [what do you think?"

Kuina looked at her father Koshiro, and then at her mother Mitsuki.

Then, she said seriously, "I have heard my mother tell me since I was a child that my uncle chose to go to sea after learning from my grandpa for three years. My father also said that my uncle's strength has surpassed that of you and grandpa."

Koshiro doesn't deny it.

Although Lin En has never officially competed with Koshiro, the sword power that Lin En exudes every time he goes to Shimotsuki Village to practice has already made Koshiro understand how powerful Lin En is.

At this time, Kuina looked at Lin En and said, "I am willing to follow you to sea. My goal is to be the world's best swordsman."

"Kuina..."

Zoro was stunned.

In fact, not only Zoro, but also the surrounding students were at a loss.

Kuina has always been the best among them and the direction they are chasing.

Now Kuina has decided to leave, leaving their hearts empty.

Of course, it is more of a reluctance to leave friends.

"Well." Kozaburo was silent for a while, "Okay, I'll leave it to Lin En."

Lin En said to Kozaburo and Mitsuki: "I will take good care of Kuina."

When Lin En and Kuina left Shimotsuki Village by boat, Zoro shouted towards Lin En's boat with tears in his eyes: "Kuina, I will definitely surpass you and become the world's number one swordsman!"

When they parted, not only Zoro, but also Mitsuki and others were quietly wiping away tears.

Kuina waved goodbye to everyone on the dock.

Until the boat leaves Shimotsuki Village.

Lin En and Kuina sat face to face.

Nozhigao and Bartolomeo were each exercising on the deck.

Lin En asked Kuina: "How do you think you can improve yourself?"

Kuina replied: "Increase strength and endurance training, increase the number of actual battles, and continue to understand the way of the sword.

Lin En asked again: "Then do you know what kendo is?"

Kuina shook her head, although she had already meditated to let herself understand stronger sword moves.

However, the word 'kendo' is still too mysterious.

"In my opinion, kendo can be broken down and understood."

"When you take it apart, the sword is just a sword, a weapon used to hurt others and protect yourself. The three thousand avenues may seem complicated, but in fact, they are just choices in life. The way to sacrifice yourself is to protect others. The way to benefit yourself. , it is harming people.”

"I chose the path of self-interest, so my swordsmanship purely pursues sharpness. When cutting objects, I have no worries and no guilt. Therefore, my sword power is sharp and decisive, and I can move forward without hesitation and kill everything."

Lin En's words are very popular and very mysterious.

In fact, what Lin En is pursuing now is no longer to kill things, but to kill ‘nothing’.

Any object in front of him is like nothing to him.

Therefore, the ability to 'break defense' is particularly high.

Golden Lion underestimated Lin En and was fatally injured!

After listening carefully, Kuina fell into thinking.

Lin En continued: "In the final analysis, kendo is the choice of the sword holder's goal in life. Sword training is also about cultivating the mind. So I will bring you out to give you more room for choice. After years of training and Baptism, you may be able to find your way out.”

Kuina sat up straight, supported the tatami with both hands, and bowed deeply, "Thank you, uncle, Kuina has learned a lesson."

Lin En's guidance to Kuina is not so much a guide as it is giving her a life experience.

Lin En's actual age is much older than his current body.

Not only is the story-telling level first-rate, but the chicken soup for the soul is also instant.

At the same time, the most precious thing about Lin En is his understanding of life.

Self-interest and self-denial.

Selfishness and self-sacrifice.

There is no distinction between smart and stupid.

Unless you are really mentally retarded, you cannot understand the literal meaning.

I understand but don’t choose.

Ultimately, it's just a personal choice.

After people have choices, their hearts will be pure and will not be confused. They can do evil or good.

After integrating into Kendo, my state of mind improved by leaps and bounds.

Naturally, his own attainments in kendo have also improved with the tide. .
