I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Soon, there was a rapid "iron strike" sound in the Yixin Gym.

Of course, it was impossible to use wooden swords like those child students during the sparring session with Shigetsuki Koushiro, but they did not leave the house and started sparring directly in the gym.

Because it was inside the house, even though the two people were fighting back and forth in a lively manner, in fact the whole battle was not intense at all.

Not to mention the weaponry, Xie Wen didn't even use the air blade slash a few times, and Koushiro didn't use any sword skills. The two sides just relied on their respective swordsmanship experiences to show off each other's tricks.

Even so, Xie Wen still felt something from Koushiro's sword, but he still couldn't figure out what it was for a while, so he subconsciously turned on the sight color, but did not use it to sense danger and predict danger. He read Koshiro's moves and focused entirely on the opponent's sword.

Wadou Yimon has been given to Zoro by Koushiro, so what he has in his hand now is not a famous sword, and the quality can only be said to be acceptable. Not to mention a good and fast sword, even the wild sword that Cody gave to Xie Wen. Tachi is sharper and tougher than it.

But it was such an ordinary sword that gave Xie Wen a "powerful" feeling. You know, even the sharp sword named Kentauer didn't make Xie Wen feel this way.

And Xie Wen also knew clearly that this feeling had little to do with the quality of the knife itself. Such a strange situation made Xie Wen feel the breath of the knife more intently.

As Xie Wen's attention was distracted, the sword moves in his hand naturally became scattered. Koushiro did not take the opportunity to gain an advantage, but continued to parry Xie Wen's attacks that were full of flaws.

With Koushiro's special cooperation, Xie Wen quickly realized the key...

Obviously in his own perception, this sword is very "powerful", but even though the sword is constantly hitting him, Xie Wen does not feel any danger from it. This is obviously not normal.

Even when he was a sparring partner for cats, Xie Wen could feel a little threatened or "aggressive" to some extent, even Keli Miao was no exception.

yes! So that’s it!

When Xie Wen subconsciously felt Koushiro himself and found that the other party's situation was very similar to that of the tachi, he suddenly understood what was going on - Koushiro poured his will into the tachi in his hand...

It is another very common and royal setting, and it is very consistent with the pirate's power-oriented world view.

Therefore, Xie Wen guessed that if you want to make your sword skills stronger, you probably need to find a reason for yourself "why you swing your sword", or in other words, if you want to understand "why you swing your sword", that is, you need to follow the path of enlightenment. Self, knowing myself is my way.

...Sure enough, in the end this is still a philosophical question.

Xie Wen, who wanted to understand, took the initiative to put away the knife and frowned in distress.

Philosophy is too imaginary. Before time travel, he was just a otaku who was just waiting to die. He lived in a haze for most of his life. Now he is asked to do something about it. "When the tide comes from the Qiantang River, you will know that I am who you are today." Not too embarrassing.

And this is a problem that people with complex minds like Xie Wen will encounter. Single-celled creatures like Sauron don't have to think about so many problems, because he only needs to rely on his heart, or instinct, to embark on this journey. road.

"Your Excellency's understanding is extraordinary. You realized the key so quickly." Koushiro sheathed his sword and praised with a smile.

Xie Wen twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile. He knew his situation, and the key to being able to discover it so quickly was not that his understanding was amazing, but that his knowledge was good at sensing breath and traveling through time. I have seen many similar settings before.

But no matter what, he finally knew a way to continue to become stronger. As for the philosophical issue of understanding oneself, Xie Wen was not very anxious. This kind of thing could not be done in a hurry. Maybe he had more experience. , I figured it out naturally.

And even if he can't figure it out, it doesn't matter. He has no intention of becoming the world's greatest swordsman. If Koushiro's swordsmanship doesn't work, there are other swordsmanships that don't require such idealism.

Besides, his "Fei Tian Jing Yan" can compete with Ba Tang, maybe he can find a different path in the future?

"Thank you for your guidance." Xie Wen calmed down and thanked Koushiro sincerely, "However, I need to trouble you again."

After saying that, Xie Wen stepped aside and gave up his position. Nyajuro took two steps forward, replaced Xie Wen and stood in front of Koushiro...

"Hikaru Sword Style, Hiko Seijuro, please teach me, nya!"

"Oh, you are such a troublesome guest." Koushiro rubbed the back of his head helplessly.

However, he did not underestimate Nyajuro because of his appearance, and the cats did not show any surprised expressions when they talked just now. In addition to Koushiro's own character being calm enough, it probably also has to do with his identity as a descendant of the Shigetsuki clan of Wano Country. Relatedly, maybe he had heard his elders mention the fur tribe.

The competition between Koushiro and Nyajuro was very different from that of Xie Wen. The fight was also lively, but in fact neither party expended too much energy.

However, the process was similar, but the results were very different. As the two sides continued to fight, Koushiro, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly showed a rare look of surprise. In Xie Wen's perception of the color of the experience, the Platycodon Sendong in Nyajuro's hand Yue also became "powerful" at this time...

Depend on!

Although when he first summoned Nyajuro, Xie Wen knew that the little black cat's swordsmanship talent was much stronger than his own, but after seeing with his own eyes that the other party easily mastered the power that he had no clue about, Xie Wen still It was a big blow.

And compared to the equally talented Kelimya, Meowjuro, who is also a melee unit, has obviously dealt a more serious blow to Xie Wen.

While Xie Wen was hit hard by his own cats, Koushiro was actually also hit hard. Although from the stories handed down from their Shuoyue family, those fur tribes were indeed very good at fighting...

But the ancestors never said that their swordsmanship talents were so strong!

I thought Sauron was already a rare swordsman genius. Unexpectedly, today I not only saw a young man (Xie Wen) whose talent was not inferior to that of Sauron, but also a cat who was even more talented than these two. cat!

Of course Koushiro can feel that Nyajuro's strength is actually not as good as Xie Wen's, but in his philosophy, kendo talent is not completely equated with strength. Maybe Nyajuro may never be able to defeat Xie Wen, but he can Go further along the path of swordsmanship.

"Let's stay here for now." Koushiro took the initiative to stop the sparring and said to Nyajuro: "Your swordsmanship talent is the strongest I have ever seen, and you have already walked your own path, and you don't need any more guidance from me. ”

"I would like to express my gratitude to you for your kindness in guiding me." Nyajuro thanked Koushiro solemnly.

Koushiro waved his hand and said modestly: "With your talent, even without my advice, you will be able to reach this realm sooner or later."

"Even so, I still want to thank you for your guidance."

Xie Wen stepped forward and said a few polite words to Koushiro, but did not leave immediately.

Firstly, he had not seen Zoro as a plot character, and secondly, Koushiro also took the initiative to persuade them to stay.

Just like Xie Wen came to Koushiro to learn kendo, Koushiro also hoped that Xie Wen and the others could spar with Zoro and give him insights.

Of course Xie Wen would not refuse such a request, and then...

They waited until night.

"Sorry... Zoro must have lost his way again..." Koushiro explained with a wry smile: "This child's sense of direction is a bit bad. We don't have to wait any longer. Let's eat first."

It's "a little" bad...

Xie Wen, who knew the truth, twitched his cheeks twice, but politely did not expose the other party.

Regarding Koushiro's strength, at least he has reached the state of "can cut anything and not cut anything". After all, this has been drawn in the comics. As for the specific strength, it is hard to say. It can only be said that in The level of swordsmanship is high enough, and he can be regarded as a victim of the lagging version, suffering from the lack of domineering settings in the early stage.

Therefore, the strength I give Koushiro here is relatively vague, but his theory and realm are still relatively high. There should be no problem in guiding the protagonist.

In addition, the kendo theory written here is a secondary theory. The Japanese like to engage in this theory anyway. The real world is about selling concepts, and when put into comics, it becomes the truth of kendo.
