The Black Duke of the Pirate

"Since you understand this truth, why do you come to me for advice?" Koushiro looked at him with a gentle smile on his face. Under the transparent glasses, his eyes were always squinting, and no emotion could be seen.

It's just gentle.

Reinhardt walked to the bottom of the wooden platform, where several prototype cushions were placed. Reinhardt took off his saber and placed it on the ground, then sat down cross-legged.

The teenagers behind him all looked at Reinhardt in great surprise, as if they were very surprised by Reinhardt's advice on swordsmanship.

Especially Kuina, she always felt that this guy had bad intentions and that he had a very frightening presence about him.

But it was at this time that Zoro and Kuina suddenly felt relaxed. After the guy sat down, he seemed to have restrained all the oppression and domineering aura in his body. Even if he was standing closest to him,

I can't feel the powerful breath anymore.

Roaring waves surged in Zoro's heart. At this moment, he was like a mountaineer, and Reinhardt standing in front of him was a mountain over ten thousand feet high. It might be a peak that he could not climb even in ten years, but right there

From the moment Reinhard sat down, this insurmountable mountain suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, and he could no longer sense the aura of a strong man or the domineering and sharp sword power.

At this moment, Zoro clearly understood in his heart that the man in front of him was far from a strong man that he could defeat at present. It turned out that adults are also very different from each other. Just like the companions of the same age in the dojo, everyone's

The strength is very different, the weak is very weak, the strong is very strong.

But he was not discouraged by this, and instead became more motivated. For him, the most interesting thing is to constantly surpass each strong person.

"You may not be able to do it if you understand it." Reinhard was silent for a while, and then replied with a smile. He stared at Koushiro on the wooden platform. At this time, it seemed that Koushiro did not have any feeling of being a powerful swordsman.

It's not much different from an ordinary farmer.

Although he is the master of the Taoist gym, he is not a prominent person.

"I can tell the correct development rules for anything in this world, but I can't develop like things at all. Even if it falls into the category that humans can do, I may not be able to understand the whole truth and put that kind of thing into practice.

The principle of development can be restored."

Reinhardt continued that this level of dialogue may be a little too profound for the natives of this world, but he thinks that for swordsmen who can say "There are swordsmen who can't cut anything in the world, but they can cut it."

Steel] This sentence is not difficult for Koshiro to understand.

“To put it simply, it’s easier said than done.”

"Haha." Koushiro pushed up his transparent glasses and showed a smile, "What a [Easy to say, hard to do]. It seems simple and easy to understand, but there is a profound truth behind it."

"However, I admire you for your dedication to the sword. Apart from you, I can only find three swordsmen at most among the people I have met who can recognize and say similar things.

"

Three?

Reinhardt was a little surprised, is it you Koushiro, Hawkeye Mihawk... Then who is the other person?

"But your swordsmanship has already been imprinted with your own strong will. It is a kind of brave and diligent, stubborn and crazy [strongness]. This kind of strength no longer needs to be strengthened." Koushiro looked at sitting on the cushion.

Reinhard said softly.

"The so-called [strongness] has not yet been able to cut through iron, steel, or even all things in the world." Reinhardt shook his head. He had only two purposes for coming to the Isshin Dojo. The first was to pass the swordsmanship between Koushiro.

I want to ask for advice to understand the swordsmanship that can cut through anything but can cut through steel.

The second is to put it into practice and meet the legendary Koushiro as a swordsman to see if this guy is really extraordinary.

"Being strong does not mean being able to kill everything." Koushiro shook his head.

After hearing this, Reinhard was silent for a long time, and began to think in his mind that one of the tenets that he has followed in swordsmanship training in the past year is to be brave and diligent. No matter what, the blade in his hand must be indestructible and unfavorable, which seems to be what Koushiro said.

The words in his mouth, "Strength is strong", this is not a mistake, but the grasp of size...and the turning point that needs to be experienced on the road of swordsmanship.

After a long time, Reinhardt raised his head, looked at Koushiro and said: "In my hometown, there is a saying, [When the moon waxes, it loses; when the water is full, it overflows]. Maybe Mr. Koshiro meant this."

"

"The moon waxes and wanes, and the water overflows when it is full..." Koshiro was a little surprised after hearing these eight words, so he repeated these words in his mouth and asked: "I understand that the water overflows when it is full, but why?"

Is the month profitable or losing?”

"That is to say, when the moon is full, it begins to change to a defective state. It is used to metaphor that things will decline when they reach their peak." Reinhardt explained.

"So that's it, it's very similar to [Strongness]." Koushiro nodded and continued, "But everything always has its own thinking, just like the ocean, it also has its own laws.

, look at this leaf."

Koushiro spoke slowly, then stood up and pointed to a leaf not far away.

"Listen...they're breathing."

"Feeling the sound of wind in my ears, how gentle and gentle."

"Listen to their breathing."

Koushiro continued, "The wind also has a will."

"This kind of will can become the most lethal weapon in the world, or it can become the gentlest thing."

What Koushiro said about breathing shocked Reinhardt. Although it was not the first time he had heard such statements, he had listened to them as an outsider outside the world. At this time, he said

When he said these words, he was standing opposite him.

This can be said to be an extremely high state for a swordsman. It is definitely not just about cutting iron. The breathing of all things is obviously some kind of [Qi], and those who can feel this Qi are all seeing, hearing, and coloring.

A person who awakens his domineering power.

The so-called pre-learning condition for Zhan Tie is one of the Haki of seeing, hearing, color, and Reinhardt also understands this.

"What breath, what will... Teacher Koushiro, what are you talking about?" At this time, under the wooden platform, many teenagers were asking with doubts on their faces. Even Zoro and Kuina couldn't understand.

The meaning behind his words.

Koushiro focused his attention on the apprentices under the Taoist platform, and then said with a smile: "It's a little difficult for you to understand these words. You have to wait until you grow up to have the opportunity to understand."
