Pirates: The Black Earl

Chapter 46, Sword Gift!

East China Sea, Frost Moon Village.

The bright moon shines in the clear wind, and the yellow... creek flows into the sea.

In late autumn, the fallen leaves are blown red, making the moonlight look cooler. In the backyard of Yixinliu Dojo in Shimotsuki Village, Koshiro sat kneeling in a white shirt by the corridor, beside a stack of dumplings on white porcelain plates and a small jug of sake.

Boom boom boom boom!

An emaciated man with his head and face covered his head and face, pressed his hands on the rag, and ran from the other end of the corridor to this end, working hard.

There are many students in the dojo during the day, so cleaning can only be done at night.

Suddenly, Koshiro asked softly.

"Has Sauron not returned yet?"

The man paused after hearing the words, and replied in a hoarse voice: "He said during the day that he was going to train in the mountains, so he must have lost his way again."

"I see."

Koshiro nodded and stopped talking, picked up the bamboo sticks with dumplings, and drank silently to Yue.

In this regard, the man was silent, and spoke after a while.

"Mr. Koshiro, I'm going to leave tomorrow."

Koshiro froze for a moment, with a faint smile still on his face.

"good."

"Aren't you going to ask me why?"

The man looked at him curiously.

"If you want to say it, you will naturally say it. If you don't want to, why should I ask?"

Koshiro said with a smile: "I understand your feelings... I used to have a life like yours, hiding and hiding all day long, wandering around, and even living under the fence, for fear of being found by the enemy."

"Is it fake? Sir, you are so strong!"

The man opened his eyes in shock.

He was rescued by Koshiro, and the brilliance of that sword from the mouth of a ten-meter-long sea beast was still fresh in his memory.

It was also for this reason that he chose not to be paid to clean up in the dojo.

Under extreme shock, he didn't even notice that his original voice was exposed.

But Koshiro didn't care and shook his head.

"There are people out there, there are people beyond the sky, the sea is so vast, and the strong emerge in endlessly, so what's the bottom line?"

After all, he took out a money bag from his arms.

"This is your wages during this time. If it's a bit more, it's my subsidy for your boat fare."

If you want to leave Yuanhang from Shuangyue Village, you must take a merchant ship that goes back and forth once a week. Merchant, of course, has to charge money.

"I……"

Plop!

The man knelt down in front of Koshiro, his head lay deeply on the floor, his whole body trembling and he kowtowed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Lord Koshiro!"

"Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"

Koshiro still smiled politely and raised his wine glass.

"Go and rest early."

"I'm back!!"

At this time, there was an angry shout from the front yard. The man wiped away his tears, picked up the purse, and quickly walked towards his room, an unremarkable woodshed.

Koshiro turned his head slowly, and was about to say hello, when suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, and a gentle smile stretched across his face.

"Sauron!"

The tone was still calm, but Sauron shrank his neck and quickly explained.

"It's not my fault, Master Koshiro! It's because he jumped out of nowhere and hit me out of nowhere, so I hit harder."

Not only Sauron came back, but another one? name? Only? A middle-aged man with a bruised nose and swollen face, completely invisible.

The T-shirt on Zoro's shoulder was cut open, and the wooden knife was broken from one third, which proved that the process was not easy.

Feeling his eyelids twitching fast, Koshiro took a deep breath.

"So, who is he?"

"Another pirate hunter who came to look for that guy, who did he offend?"

Throwing away the "trophy" in his hand, Zoro sat down on the floor and took off his T-shirt. This action involved the wound, and he gritted his teeth in pain.

Seeing this, Koshiro sighed helplessly, got up and found a medical kit, and helped Sauron tidy up the wound.

The pirate hunter who fell on the ground saw this scene through the slits of his eyes, and opened his mouth slightly.

Sir, I think I can still salvage it.

But neither of them paid any attention to it. Koshiro nodded and said, "The new overlord of the East China Sea is offering a reward of 55 million Baileys, the great pirate, Earl Black."

"Black Earl? Sounds like a nobleman... Hiss!"

Sauron's eyes widened and his chest puffed out.

After a while, Koshiro took his hand away before he heaved a sigh of relief: "Offending the nobles is quite troublesome."

"The real trouble is not only that... It is said that the black earl has the ability to communicate with the dead. Some guys want to find the treasure left by Wunan through this method, so they will try every means to catch him to please the other party. .”

"Including this guy?"

Sauron pointed to the ground.

No, I just want to see my mother again.

Pirate Hunter cried, and two balls of liquid gushed out of his eyes.

Mom, I miss you so much, these guys are all devils, devils!

Seeing this, Sauron was astonished.

Well, there is no need to answer this question.

"Tsk tsk, psychic art!"

Hearing this long sigh, Koshiro paused: "Why? Are you interested too?"

"It's kind of curious, but I wouldn't do that."

Sauron raised his head seriously and looked at Koshiro: "I will use my own sword to make my name resound in heaven!"

"Instead of relying on psychic or something."

Koshiro remained silent.

"Master, you promised me that you would let me go to sea when I turned seventeen."

Suddenly, Sauron's words pulled him out of his memory.

Looking at Zoro who was a little nervous in front of him, Koshiro smiled.

"Who brought you back tonight?"

"Uncle Kule at the head of the village... Hiss!!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zoro felt that something was wrong, and he looked at Koshiro in disbelief.

God can we still talk? !

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

But to Zoro's surprise, Koshiro nodded after laughing.

"Then let's go!"

"master?!"

Sauron was surprised.

"You wait here..."

After finishing speaking, Koshiro got up and walked towards the stairs, leaving Zoro with his back. After a while, he came back holding something wrapped in a long white cloth.

Seeing that thing, Sauron's pupils shrank, and he knelt down involuntarily.

Koshiro sat down cross-legged and placed the things between the two of them.

"It's only been a few months since you turned seventeen. Before you go to sea, you need to be familiar with every inch of this sword."

"As a swordsman, you must know the weapon in your hand."

The white cloth was lifted, and there seemed to be a moon halo circulating in the venue, which made people's eyes sting.

This is a gray and simple samurai sword with a simple shape, no exquisite decoration, no characteristics, no posture of a famous sword, even if it is mixed with a bad knife, it cannot be seen, but its sharpness and sturdiness belong to the big fast sword Twenty-one jobs!

Ming Ren: He Dao Yi Wen!

This is the best sword in the village, and at the same time, it is also the personal sword of Kuina, the daughter of Zoro's childhood sweetheart and Koshiro, who unfortunately died young.

Sauron grabbed the blade in silence, and said after a while.

"Blade: length 68cm, width 1.9cm, thickness 0.9mm."

"Scabbard: length 89cm, outer width 2.1cm, inner width 1.9cm."

"Knife handle: length 22cm, width 2cm."

Clang!

Pulling out the long knife, Sauron had a solemn expression, feeling the friction feedback from his fingertips: "It might not work with other swords, but this one...no need!"

Its length, width, weight, and even the tiniest arc and the best swing angle were all memorized by Sauron's muscles during the 2001 defeat.

Koshiro nodded slightly.

"That's good, now it's yours."

Hearing this, Zoro raised his head in shock, but looking at Kami Koshiro's eyes full of expectation, all the words rushed into his throat, but he couldn't make a sound.

Plop!

Kneeling solemnly, Sauron poked his forehead and gritted his teeth.

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Only Sauron understands how important this sword is to Koshiro, and how much he expects from him when it is handed over to him.

I will never let you down!

I swear!

I am the number one swordsman in the world!

"Go to rest after bandaging the wound. Being knelt down by two young people all night, I feel really old."

Koshiro stood up with his hands on the floor without supporting Zoro.

"Remember to send him to the hospital tomorrow, the attack is not serious."

After all, he turned and left.

There are still good people!
