Pirate: The Strongest Pirate Merchant

Zoro doesn't know how to surpass Kuina.

But he knew that he had to go out to practice as soon as possible.

Because Zoro had heard Koshiro say long ago that Lin En only practiced for three years before he started practicing.

The same goes for Kuina, who left Shimotsuki Village to follow Lin En to practice.

You must have encountered a lot of things outside.

Tempering her heart, her sword, and her swordsmanship.

If you follow Lin En, you may be able to achieve a significant improvement in a short period of time.

However, Kuina is also with Lin En.

If the way of practice is the same, how can one surpass Kuina?

Therefore, Zoro wants to leave and find his own way of swordsmanship.

In fact, when Zoro left Shimotsuki Village, his early sword skills were all sword skills such as "Tora Hunting, Eagle Wave, Zamoki, and Sword Slash".

These sword skills are the first realizations.

By observing all things, experiencing all phenomena, and integrating them into sword skills.

...

Too superficial.

In the later period, as Zoro gradually deepened his understanding of ghosts, gods, the world, and swords.

Sword skills have undergone a qualitative transformation.

This is the training process of a swordsman.

If a swordsman's training only focuses on training strength, endurance, and speed, then neither sword skills nor sword power will be significantly improved.

And swordsman meditation is a magical state.

During meditation, the swordsman can 'imagine' the process of fighting beasts, heaven and earth, ghosts and gods in his mind.

You can simulate the sun, moon and stars, and you can imagine moving mountains and reclaiming seas.

This is Lin En's understanding of kendo, and he taught Kuina the direction.

Kuina found her own way after stepping out of Windmill Village.

Now Zoro has to take this step too.

The village festival dinner began.

Accompanied by the traditional "Samurai Sword Dance", the dinner climaxed.

This is not Lin En’s first time watching Sword Dance.

It is said that the sword dance is the sword posture of the God of Thunder. In the past, it was performed by witches in Baiwu.

Rumor has it that the four women are vying to communicate directly with Jianyu Thunder God.

At the same time, Jianyu Thunder God will possess the body of a pious witch and descend to earth to save the common people.

Of course, this is just a legend.

However, the samurai of Shimotsuki Village are not shrine maidens.

Therefore, it can only be performed by unmarried women from each family.

Kuina also participated.

The viewing quality is still very good.

Zoro sat next to Lin En.

This was arranged by Koshiro.

Koshiro saw Zoro's confusion and confusion, and asked him to sit next to Lin En.

Lin En picked up the wine cup and said, "Pour me some wine."

Zoro nodded and held the wine bottle in both hands.

After drinking three glasses in a row, Lin En suddenly said, "Life is like this rice wine."

Zoro knew that it was Lin En who was instructing him, so he listened carefully.

"It's turbid and you can't see the bottom."

Lin En said, and drank the wine again, "Only after drinking it can you understand its taste. Only you who drink the wine in your bowl can understand it."

After Zoro heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Lin En asked with a smile, "Kuina's sword was wonderful, but isn't your life wonderful?"

Life needs to be savored, not compared with others. After all, what belongs to others belongs to others, and what belongs to you is yours.

If you want to surpass Kuina, then surpass yourself first. "

own life!

exceed oneself!

Zoro took a deep breath, stood up, walked to Lin En, and knelt down seriously, "Thank you, uncle, for your guidance."

Kuina's 'Star Flash' sword really shocked him too much.

It is said that there is artistic conception in landscape calligraphy and painting.

The same goes for kendo. (ccbe) It is always difficult for laymen to understand.

Swordsmen are different.

The ultimate swordsmanship they follow is this mysterious and mysterious artistic conception.

Zoro thought about that sword all day long.

If it were him, could he do it?

If you don't want to get through it, it will become a hurdle.

I will be able to compare and deliberately want to catch up.

Eventually it goes to extremes and is completely lost.

At this time, Lin En muttered: "Senior brother, it's true, he should be the one to guide you in this kind of thing."

Koshiro is not far away from Lin En. He smiles and doesn't say much.

Kozaburo couldn't help but snorted, but this time he wasn't impatient.

But proud.

Lin En is the best disciple he has taught.

Kozaburo never denies this.

Early the next morning.

Zoro carried his luggage, took the rice balls that Meiyue had prepared for him, put on his bamboo hat, carried his luggage, and headed to the dock facing the morning dew.

Koshiro was already waiting at the dock.

"teacher."

Zoro saluted Koshiro.

Koshiro threw him a knife.

Zoro subconsciously caught it.

This knife...

Koshiro said, "The name of the sword is Komatsu Maru, so use it well."

Komatsumaru was also created by Kozaburo.

It's just an early work. Kozaburo used it for a while, but later he stopped using it after he got Wado Ichimonji.

Zoro's apprenticeship today is regarded as a ceremony for his apprenticeship.

"Thank you, master."

Zoro knelt on the ground.

Zoro is a very principled person.

He has learned swordsmanship from Koshiro for many years, and Koshiro taught him selflessly.

The relationship between Zoro and Koshiro over the years goes without saying.

Koshiro said: "Go, I hope we can hear your name resounding across the sea even in the village."

"Yes!" Zoro kowtowed again, turned around, got on the boat and left.

His practice has just begun.

At the same time, in the bamboo forest not far from the pier.

Lin En and Kuina stood side by side.

Lin En asked: "Don't you need to say a few words to him?"

Kuina said calmly: "He will find his own way, and what I have to do is wait for him in front."

At this time, Zoro, who was on the boat, suddenly shouted in the direction of the village: "Kuina, I will definitely defeat you and become the world's greatest swordsman!"
