I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates

Not long after leaving Windmill Village, the map progress of Donghai was pushed to 75%, and the upload icon reappeared as expected.

Of course, this time Xie Wen did not show any rudeness, but followed the plan and waited until it was 100% before uploading it to see what the difference was.

I have to say that Zoro's road-crazy attribute is really something. After Xie Wen and the others left Windmill Village, they traveled to more than ten islands before finally finding out that "there is a big swordsman in a nearby village." Ashram" news.

And this place is almost half the distance from the East China Sea to Shields Town when Sauron appeared in the comics. God knows how he got lost there.

After having the clues, it was not difficult to find the place. Xie Wen soon arrived at the island where Shuangyue Village was located.

After getting off the boat, he asked someone for directions, and Xie Wen led the cats towards the direction of Yixin Dojo.

Before they entered the dojo, they heard bursts of shouting coming from the wall. From the sound, they could tell that most of them were children.

But this is normal. Ordinary civilians have to consider their livelihood when they grow up, but they don't have so much time and energy to practice swordsmanship. That is to say, Zoro's talent is high enough so that he can be raised by Koushiro as his heir.

The door to the dojo was open, but Xie Wen didn't just walk in. He came to ask for advice, not to compete, so he still had to be polite.

"Sorry to bother you."

Xie Wen knocked on the door of the dojo and shouted inside.

At the same time, he also looked inward at the group of people practicing swordsmanship in the yard...

There were a group of little ghosts holding wooden swords, two adults wearing black kendo uniforms, and Shigezuki Koushiro who wore a light-colored robe on top of the black kendo uniforms. Zoro was not seen, so he was probably alone. Exercise and get lost.

"Oh? We have a guest." Koushiro, who was teaching his disciples, turned to look at Xie Wen, his eyes lingered on Chang Yue around his waist for a few seconds, and then he showed a warm smile, "Excuse me, what does the guest want to do here? ?"

To be honest, Koushiro's body shape, appearance, and character really don't look like a famous swordsman. Even if Xie Wen used his knowledge and knowledge to probe, the other party gave him the feeling that his aura was relatively strong, not as good as most swordsmen. That sense of sharpness.

"Hello, I heard that there is a swordsman master here, so I came here to ask for advice." Xie Wen explained the purpose of his visit to Koushiro.

"Ahhhhh! Someone is coming to kick the gym!"

Before Koushiro and the other two kendo masters could speak, the group of brats started shouting.

"Go find Senior Brother Sauron quickly!"

"Idiot! Senior Brother Sauron must still be lost at this time, and there is no way he can be found!"

"Don't panic! Master Koushiro is still here!"

"But Master Koushiro looks very weak... Isn't it safer to go to Brother Zoro?"

"Look, the cat next to that person is so cute."

"So, he shouldn't be a bad person, right?"

"..."

Xie Wen ignored the noisy little gangsters, spread his hands towards Koushiro who was smiling bitterly, and explained: "I have no intention of kicking the gym, I just want you to see for me what shortcomings I have in my swordsmanship, and what else can I do?" What needs to be strengthened?”

"I understand," Koushiro nodded, reaching out and guiding him inside, "Please come with me."

Koushiro took Xie Wen and the others to a reception room and made them hot tea. Obviously, he did not intend to see Xie Wen's swordsmanship immediately.

"The guest must be the bounty hunter 'Cat Swordsman' who has become famous recently, right?" Koushiro took a sip of hot tea and said the nickname that made Xie Wen very powerless. Then, he said with some confusion Asked: "Logically speaking, if you are as strong as you, you shouldn't still be confused about your own swordsmanship."

"Well, actually, my core swordsmanship was not taught by anyone. Later, although I learned a few moves from others, I actually didn't understand much about the essence of swordsmanship." Xie Wen explained to Koushiro: " To put it simply, my swordsmanship is just swordsmanship, not the way of the sword."

Xie Wen is actually completely confused about something as mysterious and mysterious as kendo. If it weren't for the power and idealism of the pirate world, he wouldn't even believe in "kendo" and wouldn't come to Koushiro to learn from it.

But after all, he had read so many comics and novels, so even though he couldn't understand it, it was not difficult to express his needs.

"I see……"

Koushiro nodded thoughtfully, and then started to be in a daze while holding the tea cup.

"Brother Xie Wen, is he really the powerful swordsman you mentioned? Why does he look so stupid?" Keli, who couldn't stand still, asked Xie Wen with her little paws.

"Lieutenant General Garp looks like a fool, but we can't defeat him." Xie Wen thought for a moment and used an inappropriate metaphor.

But Kelimiao immediately understood what he meant and nodded clearly.

"I dare not compare myself with the famous naval hero."

After coming back to his senses, Koushiro smiled and waved his hand, then straightened his expression and asked Xie Wen a question——

"What is a sword to you? What is swordsmanship?"

Sure enough, the so-called kendo will inevitably start to play philosophy later on.

Xie Wen, who had seen similar settings in many comics, curled his lips, but still answered honestly: "Swords are weapons, and swordsmanship is the skill of using weapons."

After a pause, Xie Wen took the initiative to analyze himself: "Strictly speaking, I may not be a swordsman. I only use the sword because it is the easiest to use, and I am the strongest when using the sword. , if one day I am stronger with a hammer or spear, then I will give up using the sword without hesitation... But before that, I still want to make my sword skills, or kendo, stronger."

"Becoming stronger? It's really a very common and simple reason and idea." Koushiro was not angry because of Xie Wen's attitude towards kendo. He still had that peaceful smile on his face and slowly put down his hand. cup, and then continued: "But there is nothing wrong with simplicity. In addition, many great swordsmen did not actually think that they would become swordsmen when they first started using swords."

"so what?"

Xie Wen didn't understand what the other party meant. Is this a consolation? Or do you want to change your mind and embark on the path of a swordsman?

"I have no right to interfere with your choice, but it is my daily job to teach swordsmanship," Koushiro stood up and continued to smile: "So, we might as well discuss it first. Some things can be understood through swords."

Ah...it's such a mysterious statement again, and even the lines are so cliché...

Xie Wen scratched his hair speechlessly, but did not refuse.

Although what Koushiro said was a bit mysterious, to a certain extent, Xie Wen actually agreed with this statement.

Because when he fought against Uncle Bacchus and some sword-wielding pirates before, he could more or less feel certain things, but the strength of those opponents was too poor. Xie Wen realized that things were too limited and for him Not much help.

Now that it's a great swordsman like Koshiro, the situation should be different.
