The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue

"Srustling~"

Putting on the only overcoat that was still in good condition, Mihawk looked in the mirror and looked at his completely unlined self. This was the only time his image was so disrespectful so far.

After hesitating for a moment, his hand hovered over the hanger beside him, but there was no shirt he could wear. Looking at the shirt with blood stains, cuts, and scorched marks on it, he withdrew his hand.

Instead of wearing these sloppy clothes and making yourself look even more embarrassed, it's better not to wear them, and Mihawk stood in front of the mirror and admired the shape of his upper body wearing only a coat, which was actually okay.

Fortunately, neither the trousers nor the boots were seriously damaged, and they would not look awkward when worn.

He picked up a wet towel, wiped off the shaving foam left on his face, turned the towel over, rubbed his hair with the other side, and then wiped his boots with the towel that had only a little moisture left .

Putting down the wet towel, he took out a wooden box from the suitcase, opened it, and inside were deerskin, knife oil, and some small tools. He took out the deerskin and knife oil, and looked at the two black knives beside him.

Picking up the obsidian, he maintained it carefully, and then came the night, obviously the two black knives that had been imbued with endless armed domineering, now had a glimmer of luster.

Putting down the knife oil and deerskin, Mihawk reached out and touched the water surface of the basin with his fingers, but lifted it up quickly, with only a few drops of water dripping on the surfaces of the two black knives.

Seeing that the water droplets neither gathered into droplets nor flowed down, but rolled on the blade surface, Mihawk was very satisfied, and then poured lightly on the blade, and the water droplets slid down extremely smoothly.

After the maintenance of the two black knives was completed, Mihawk's hair was completely dry. He stood up and turned around, facing the mirror again, then picked up the top hat on the side and put it on his head.

Just as he was about to turn around and pick up the black knife to leave, his eyes suddenly glanced at a cross pendant in his luggage.

Not knowing what he was thinking of, he stretched out his hand to hold the cross pendant, smiled, put the cross pendant around his neck, and then picked up the two black knives.

Put the black knife - Ye on the open leather buckle on the back of the coat, and hold the black knife - obsidian in his hand, without any other movements, he walked towards the door.

"Ka~"

When he opened the door, Mihawk narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw three strange-shaped creatures piled up in front of his door, with a curious expression on his face. When he saw Mihawk, the creature that looked like a leopard at the head said:

"Mr. Mihawk, Lieutenant Colonel Nurkic asked me to tell you that the warship has docked at the port and you are ready to go at any time."

Mihawk nodded, looked at the navy uniforms on the three creatures, and was a little puzzled. Why did Skyler's Night Zhan Detachment accept all ghosts and monsters?

He thought of the living skeleton he saw when the warship of the Zhanye Detachment returned last night, and he almost drew his sword.

Warming himself in his heart not to show any attitude that he shouldn't have, Mihawk kept calm and walked down the dormitory building belonging to the Navy step by step.

As for why he didn't go to the deserted island in the windless belt with Skyler, the reason is very simple. Skyler misremembered the time, ran over yesterday, leveled an island, and waited there.

It was only after dark that we suddenly received the news that Mihawk had arrived at the G-5 branch.

Mihawk said it was a hundred days later, but Skyler counted the day Mihawk said that sentence as the first day, which was a small misunderstanding.

Therefore, what Mihawk considers the ninety-ninth day, in Skyler's eyes, is the hundredth day.

So Skyler waited on the deserted island for an extra day. Anyway, the warship of the Zhanye Detachment was also on the island yesterday, so Skyler had no intention of rushing back to the G-5 branch.

After dinner, the Zhanye detachment rushed back to the G-5 branch to receive Mihawk a little bit, but it was not convenient for Skyler to come over, after all, she was the opponent in this battle.

Before the battle is over, she must cultivate her inner emotions. If she also comes back to entertain Mihawk together, then her emotions will be wrong.

However, the two of them didn't take this matter at ease. Mihawk headed towards the port and frowned as he watched the newsbirds around him. He didn't like the feeling of being surrounded.

In other words, he didn't want the confrontation of swordsmanship to be witnessed by these creatures who didn't understand swordsmanship at all.

But he didn't mean to disperse the news birds, because he just wasn't interested.

Arriving at the port, Mihawk saw the skeleton again last night. The skeleton was leaning against the fence with a glass of milk in its hand, tapping its fingers rhythmically on the fence.

Because he was in the sun, Mihawk was less disgusted with this skeleton, his eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, because another non-human, the murloc Jinbe was standing solemnly at this time, as if he was on duty.

Taking a deep breath, ignoring these ghosts and monsters, Mihawk turned his eyes again and finally saw people.

He stepped up and walked towards Nurkic. The reason why he didn't see Nurkic for the first time was that Nurkic was not waiting on the warship, but was very politely waiting for Mihawk's arrival on the ground of the port.

"Mr. Mihawk."

Seeing Mihawk approaching, Nurkic also showed a polite smile, nodded to Mihawk, and did not salute. After all, Mihawk is not in the navy system.

Mihawk also nodded and said, "Let's go."

Seeing Mihawk who spoke so directly, Nurkic froze for a moment, then nodded helplessly. This eagerness for fighting was exactly the same as his own chief.

Nurkic felt a little headache when he explained to Skyler yesterday what is the 100th day and what is the 100th day after.

But Nurkic still stretched out his hand to lead to the springboard, but the breeze was blowing, and there was no figure of Mihawk. Nurkic, who was quick-eyed and sharp, instantly recognized Mihawk's position.

Warship deck!

Taking a deep breath, Nurkic smiled politely again, but no matter how you look at it, it feels a little awkward.

Nurkic also jumped onto the deck, commanded the members to put away the springboard, glanced at Mihawk who had found a place to sit down and rested, and Nurkic stopped talking nonsense and commanded the warship to head towards the calm zone.

"Boom~"

After sailing for a period of time, Mihawk suddenly felt that the engine sound of the warship seemed to become louder. No, it was not that the engine sound became louder, but that there was no wind noise.

Opening his eyes, he raised his eyes like eagles and falcons and looked away, and saw a person standing on a flat island. He was the opponent in this battle and the person who was going to the appointment.

Skyler Gray!

After seeing Skyler, Mihawk's strength in holding Obsidian in his hand increased slightly, and he also slowly stood up from the beach chair, his sword rising steadily.

Above the sea, the only enemy that Mihawk can treat with this kind of "courtesy" is Skyler, who can compete with him for the number one in the world.

Does Mihawk care about the position of the world's number one swordsman? It's okay to say you care, or you don't care.

I don't care, it's because he is the sea, the strongest swordsman, no one else can touch him, he is destined to sit on the highest peak of kendo, overlooking the climbers one by one.

If he doesn't care, it means that he doesn't care whether the title of the world's number one swordsman is crowned with him, but as long as he is here, this title cannot be given to anyone else. The reason is the same as the previous one, he is the strongest swordsman.

He can be the world's number one swordsman without having this title, but no one else can be crowned the world's number one swordsman, at least not during his time.

"Yohohohoho~ What an amazing young man?"

When all the members of the Ye Zhan Detachment on the deck, including Nurkic, were half-distracted by the sword force, only Brook, who was holding a glass of milk in his hand, was so calm that the milk liquid did not waver. a cent.

Mihawk turned his head slightly and looked at Brooke. This was the first time he had looked at Brooke seriously. The previous two times he saw Brooke, he felt unlucky and didn't look carefully at him.

"Are you a swordsman too?"

Mihawk asked, if Brook was a swordsman, he would have a reason to chop off the skeleton, at least he had a reason in his heart.

Brooke shook his head and said, "I'm just a wandering musician living on a boat."

Hearing this, Mihawk withdrew his eyes in disappointment, but the next moment, he showed an expression of instant interest.

Because Skyler responded to him too.

Equally proud, equally confident, fierce and even stronger than his sword, swinging away from that island, the calm sea was like water about to boil in a pot.

There is no real tumbling, but it is constantly vibrating with small amplitude and high frequency.

"Tread~"

Mihawk jumped directly from the deck and ran towards Skyler in the distance. In the air, a long black knife came out of his hand and flew towards Skyler in a whirl.

On the island, Skyler smiled, fisted his left hand in front of his nose, then raised his index finger slightly, supported the sunglasses with his knuckles, and then raised his hand.

Hei Dao started, and then returned to the Blade Box King Kong, the eyes of the two met in the air, and in an instant, sharper, fiercer, and more proud sword movements emerged from each other's hearts and spread.

"stop!"

Nurkic frowned, and instantly ordered the warship to dock on the sea. If it was this level of sword force, I am afraid that if it is a little closer, the tragedy of being cut by the escaping sword force will repeat itself.

The engine was gradually turned off, and Nurkic looked at Mihawk who had arrived over the island, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, raised his hands, and the terrifying armed domineering flowed and released, covering the front of the warship.

"Is it too exaggerated?"

Brooke said a word, but found that the people around him looked solemn, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the island.

At this time, Mihawk and Skyler both held their respective knife handles.

"镪~"

The three black knives came out of their sheaths, and the pink and cyan slashes formed instantly. The pink slashes were like stabbing with the tips of knives, and the cyan slashes were like slashing with sharp blades, colliding in an instant.

"Boom~"

The surrounding sea that was about to boil suddenly exploded like boiling water pouring into the air, or cold water dripping from a hot oil pan.

The so-called windless belt, at this moment, the wind is strong, and the messy air currents collide, and even the reef can be torn to pieces.

The newsbirds circling in the sky chose to flee after taking photos at the risk of being torn apart. This may be the first time the newsbirds were so embarrassed.

"Isn't it a sword fight? Why is it like a life and death enemy?"

"Rookie" Brook asked his own question, but no one from the Zhanye Detachment answered.

Nurkic just gritted his teeth, because he knew that his torture was coming.

"boom!!!"

The two slashes defeated each other, and the scattered slashes intermingled to form a circular slash, centered on the island, and slashed towards the surroundings, and the surging waves were also cut off instantly.

"Clang~"

Slash came a few meters before Zhanye Detachment's warship, and was blocked by an invisible barrier. Slash instantly deformed, and Nurkic's face turned red instantly.

Is this the pinnacle duel of the Black Blade Swordsmen? !

Nurkic, who had been sharpened by Skyler's black knife for a long time, suddenly realized at this moment, it turns out that his chief usually treats him so gently?

Although Skyler's black knife keeps cutting down on him, but he doesn't have this kind of strong sword force that cuts everything off at this time. people?

In particular, Skyler and Mihawk's first strike is not over yet!

Mihawk was still falling in the air, and Heidaoye's blade was still sharp.

The two knives in Skyler's hands were still raised high, showing their sharpness.

"Zheng~"

The blades collided, the boiling sea fell, and the windless belt seemed to return to calm for a while, but.

"Bang~ bang~ bang~"

Like a delayed explosion, water jets shot up from the sea, and the island under Skyler's feet shook slightly at this time.

"Sa~"

An invisible but distorted circular slash, centered on the point where the blades met, slashed towards the surroundings again.

On the warship, Nurkic took a deep breath and maintained the invisible barrier.

"Chi~"

But this time. The invisible barrier was slashed open, and Nurkic's face changed instantly. Such a sharp and sharp slash is not something the hull of a warship can bear!

"Borrow a sword and use it."

Nurkic suddenly felt a lightness in his waist, and the ceremonial sword that was hanging but was basically not used disappeared, and Brook was standing on the dove like the prow.

"Mr. Brooke."

Nurkic had just shouted, but the slash was approaching. Even Nurkic couldn't catch up at this time, but Brook had already drawn his sword.

A delicate and extravagant ceremonial sword does not have the slightest ability to fight against the enemy, let alone this level of slashing?

"François d'Or!"

Yoyo's ghost fire rose from the ceremonial sword, and the thin tip of the sword touched the terrifying slash.

"How can it be!"

For a moment, Nurkic seemed to see countless sword shadows waving, stabbing on this slash, and the sound of countless notes rang in his ears, but in an instant, they disappeared.

That terrifying slash just disappeared invisible.

"Yohohoho~ It seems that this ship also wants to protect you."

Brook did a backflip and landed lightly in the posture of a gymnast landing salute. Then he put the ceremonial sword back into its sheath, placed his right hand in front of his chest, swung his left hand back, and bowed slightly.

It's like a conductor saying goodbye to the audience after directing the orchestra.

"Mr. Brooke."

Watching Brook return the ceremonial sword, Nurkic was a little dazed. How could this skeleton, which can cover the ground with a light drop, become so powerful all of a sudden?

"Yo ho ho ho ho ~"

Brook didn't take credit for it, because he knew that it would be no problem for the members of the Zhanye Detachment to block this attack. It's just that he didn't want to see the ship get injured.

The empty eye sockets are also looking at the distant island at this time. He has never thought that the navy that he meets by chance is actually so strong. If he was in his lifetime, he might have been a top powerhouse. ?

At this time, on the island, Mihawk had also landed. Like Skyler, he looked at the warship in the distance.

Skyler breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the warship was fine. At that moment, she really forgot everything around her, and only wanted to swing the slash with all her strength.

Mihawk's eyes blinked. His eyes did not stay on Brook who "truncated" the slash, but also looked at the warship. As for what he cares about, who knows?

The two swordsmen who attacked as if they were life and death enemies stopped at this moment in tacit understanding, watched the warship turn around slowly, and did not make another move.

Being idle and bored, Skyler asked: "You seem to be in a bad mood? Is it related to Shanks?"

"Shanks?"

Mihawk frowned and asked, "What happened to him?"

"Don't you know? After your decisive battle with him, he ransacked a CP organization's station. He seemed to be looking for something, but he didn't seem to find it, right? But he also ushered in the first reward."

When Mihawk saw Skyler saying this, he actually smiled, and asked with some doubts: "Don't you hate pirates?"

"Yes! But it doesn't prevent me from laughing at the CP organization!"

Mihawk didn't respond, and looked at the warship slowly going away, feeling extremely puzzled in his heart.

After he bid farewell to Shanks at Whiskey Mountain, he embarked on a journey without asking for any information except the World Economic News.

He also didn’t contact Shanks, Skyler or others. His knowledge of the changes in the sea is only from the World Economic News.

Thinking about it, he remembered the unpleasant conversation in Marin Fanduo again, and asked, "Do you know that the navy invited me to become the king's Shichibukai?"

"Huh? Oh. As expected."

"What do you think?"

"Isn't this your own business? How did you plan?"

Looking at the warship that had stopped again, Mihawk turned his head, looked at Skyler and said, "Let's talk after the fight."

"good!"

In an instant, the two chatting like old friends, their swords were on edge again, and under the burst of sword power, the news birds flying back in the sky were scared away again.

Many newsbirds finally understood why their boss did not plan a live broadcast of the whole sea for this battle.

I'm afraid those live phone bugs will be directly destroyed by the sword force and the aftermath, right?

When the news bird flew away again, Mihawk and Skyler also sprinted forward. The battle between the two seemed to have no plan, just a fight.

"Zheng~"

When the black knives collided, even sparks did not splash, but the entire sea was stirred up.

The sea area below 5,000 meters in the windless zone, the seabed that used to be as calm as stagnant water, but with dark tides and turbulent tides, now has no dark tides, and countless sea kings swim, making the sea area turbulent.

They are fleeing deeper, their brains are not strong enough for them to figure out what happened, but...it is very dangerous, if they don't escape, they will be like the same kind that the human looked at.

In the G-3 branch, Bogart looked at Karp, who was lying on a beach chair with a beer in one hand and a donut in the other, and asked, "Sir, are we really not going to take a look?"

"What are you looking at?! Do you think the old man's daughter will lose?!"

After Garp finished speaking, he stuffed the donuts into his mouth and reached out to get them again, only to find that the box was empty. He rummaged through the other boxes on the ground, and there were no donuts left.

Looking at Bogart dissatisfied, he said, "Bogart! Didn't the old man ask you to prepare a hundred boxes of donuts? Why are these gone? The old man wants to eat donuts and wait for the news of my daughter's victory." !"

Bogart's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Sir, I have indeed prepared a hundred boxes, but you have eaten them all in the past two hours."

"Ah?! Really? Hahaha~"

Karp laughed awkwardly. Suddenly, he saw Bogart smiling from the corner of his eye. He frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?! Why don't you get donuts for me?!"

Bogart nodded helplessly. His own officer said that Skyler would definitely respond, but he misremembered the date. He has been restless since yesterday, and he couldn't sleep all night last night.

Bogart left, but Garp looked at the spontaneously assembled detachment and the warship that could leave at any time, and muttered with disdain:

"What a bunch of worthless people. Obviously Skyler can win, but the old man seems very nervous."

As he said that, Garp looked towards the direction of the windless belt, his right leg shook unconsciously, and the beach chair made an unpleasant "creak~creak~" sound, which made him very unhappy.

"唰~"

Suddenly, Garp stood up and said cursingly: "Since you want to see it so much, I will take you there!"

"Hahaha~"

On the warship, the members of the detachment laughed, even Bogart smiled.

Not everyone is keen on the battle for the number one swordsman in the world, so how could everyone spontaneously prepare and want to watch the battle?

Marin Fanduo, in the meeting room, Warring States, He, three alternate generals, and a group of generals who don't need to cruise for the time being, all gathered in the meeting room.

On the wall of the conference room is a video phone bug, and the picture is extremely blurry, and it cannot be said to be blurry. It is more accurate to say that the distance is too far.

In the center of the huge sea in the scene, the island where the battle took place is reflected on the wall at this time, but it is only half a fist away.

Except for the turbulent sea surface and the sea pillars that rise from time to time, there is nothing to see at all.

Sakalski straightened his baseball cap over and over again, as if he couldn't wear it right.

"boom!"

The irritable Sakalski slammed his fist on the table and said, "What's going on with Nurkic of the Ye Zhan team? Why is it so far away?!"

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Sakaski, this is the shortest safe distance, and I can't go any further. I have to consider the safety of Zhanye Detachment."

A voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone bug, and Sakarski's dark face suddenly turned red. Because he was too anxious, he forgot that this was not a live phone bug, but an ordinary video communication video phone bug.

In other words, the voices of the two sides are actually intercommunicating, and Sakaski, who reacted, stopped talking.

"Ah la la~ It's good to be able to see it, but the navy's communication equipment does need to be upgraded, Polusalino, you have time to reflect Polusalino. Polusalino!"

Kuzan turned his head and looked at Polusalino, who rarely sat upright, thinking that he had finally become energetic because his former subordinate was about to fight for the title of the world's number one swordsman, but...

Through Polusalino's tea-colored visor, Kuzan saw two small pieces of paper taped to his eyelids. Eyes were drawn on the paper, lifelike.

Gritting his teeth and taking a deep breath, Kuzan worked hard to adjust his emotions. Everyone in the conference room felt that the conference room was a bit cold.

"Hiss~ah~oh~"

Polusalino shuddered suddenly, and opened his eyes. The edge of the paper slipped across his loose eyelids, and his originally crooked expression twisted.

Polusalino opened his eyes, and suddenly found that the generals in the conference room were looking at him with dangerous eyes.

"Yo~ still fighting~"

He suddenly pointed at the curtain, but found that the colleagues around him didn't move their eyes.

Because it's only been five minutes since the screen appeared, isn't it still playing? !

The generals around were actually a little angry, because Polusalino was the only general who had served as Skyler's direct boss. Skyler was sleeping during such an important battle!

This battle is not only about the ownership of the world's number one swordsman, but also the future direction of the Navy's propaganda, and Skyler's life.

Other things don't matter, but at the moment when the life and death of colleagues are at stake, even if you can't make a move, you have to pay attention all the time, right?

"Cough! Keep reading, the conditions are a bit off, but everyone can understand, right?"

Zhan Guo finally spoke out to ease the tension in the conference room, not for anything else, because last night, when he got off work, he saw the lights in Polusalino's office for the first time.

And not the kind that forgets to turn off the lights at the end of get off work, and there's no way Polusalino didn't.

Because he never went to work until it was time to turn on the lights.

And Polusalino, as a person who has completed the KPI for promotion to general, has no important tasks to be busy, not to mention his character, he will not be busy until then.

Seeing Sengoku's attitude like this, Tsurumi probably guessed something, she said for the first time: "If you want to smoke, then smoke, anyway, the battle probably won't end so soon."

Hearing this, all the generals took out their cigarettes after being dazed for a moment, and started smoking. Since early in the morning, everyone has gathered here, waiting for the picture for a very long time, but no one left the meeting room.

Therefore, many generals with serious cigarette addiction are almost anxious at this time.

Seeing everyone taking out cigarettes one after another, Polusalino took three cigarettes in his mouth at once. Sengoku and Crane looked complicated, and then they said almost at the same time:

"Give one to the old man/old man, too."

After finishing speaking, almost everyone's eyes were on the two of them, and the two looked at each other in surprise, Zhan Guo even said directly: "Xiaohe, are you too anxious?"

Crane didn't answer, but just took the cigarette and lighter from Polusalino, who was the only one who offered her a cigarette, and lit one strangely, pretending to be calm.

On a certain island in the Great Channel, a man with a big head and heavy make-up pointed to a man covered in a robe outside the building, and said, "Why did he start going out so early in the morning to get some wind?"

At the end of the sentence, a strong man holding a book and sitting gracefully by the side also raised his head curiously. He had never seen such an abnormality in that man.

Not only these two people, but other people in the room also looked at the man outside, and then looked at the woman who was questioned, who was wearing rather revealing clothes but not showing a charming temperament. The woman gave them a white look and said:

"Don't inquire about his affairs!"

Many people looked away boringly, but the strong man who was reading a book glanced at the bookshelf beside him, the stack of newspapers from the past 100 days, those newspapers were displayed but not destroyed, it was very strange.

However, he quickly lowered his head and continued to look at the book in his hand. After all, no matter what the man outside symbolized, he was a human being, and as a human being, he would have emotions.

The bear-like hands of the strong man turned the pages of the book, and by coincidence, they also entered the next section-"Surrender Emotions, Overcome Weaknesses, and Conquer the World".

Kingdom of Alabasta, Rainland.

Many casino waitresses gathered together, and one of them said, "Boss hasn't come out for several days? Is he sick? I don't know if he will recover without anyone to take care of him."

"I see, you just want to take care of the boss, right? Hehe~"

The other waitress teased, and the one who was teased blushed and said, "Don't you want to? I saw you posted the boss's photo beside the bed!"

"Hmph! I admire the boss, can't I?"

"Hey~"

"What are you laughing at? The news of you talking in your sleep and calling your boss' name has spread throughout Alabasta!"

"How could it be so exaggerated?!"

"Don't you have points for your noise?!"

A group of female waitresses laughed and laughed, but there was no movement in the room they were paying attention to.

Donghai, Shuangyue Village, Yixin Dojo.

Zoro, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, was wrapped in many bandages, but his algae-like hair still stubbornly broke through the mesh of the bandages. Unknowingly, he moved to the side of Kuina, who was frowning and slashing at the wooden figure, and said:

"Hey! Kuina! Where's Master? Why didn't you see him today?"

"My grandpa called him over."

Kuina replied impatiently, but Sauron showed a surprised smile and said, "Wow! You actually have a grandfather?!"

Hearing this, Kuina frowned even deeper, and stopped slashing at the wooden man, and slowly turned to face Sauron, her body was obviously ready to attack, and said, "Nonsense, who doesn't have a grandpa?"

Zoro didn't notice Kuina's movements, put his hands behind his head, and said confidently: "I don't have one. And people say that I don't even have parents."

"you"

Kuina, who was about to strike, stopped her movements, and after a short moment of astonishment, she stopped looking at Sauron, and slashed at the wooden figure again. The bamboo sword collided with the wooden figure, making a noisy sound.

"Hey, Kuina, what's the point of hitting a wooden dummy who can't fight back? Shall we duel?"

"."

"Guina, didn't you hear? Shall we duel? I think I know how to beat you."

"."

Looking at Kuina who ignored him, Solon pouted and said, "Are you sad? Did something happen to grandpa?"

"You are so noisy!!!"

Kuina stopped and roared at Sauron. For a moment, everyone in the dojo looked at Kuina and Sauron.

Sauron was also stunned, looked at Kuina, then lowered his head, turned around, lowered his hands, and said, "I see, I won't bother you anymore."

"Wait!" Kuina called Sauron, but Sauron didn't look back happily like before. Kuina clenched the bamboo sword in her hand, a little at a loss. After a long time, she said:

"As you said, let's fight! Since you want to lose so much!"

"Okay! Wait a minute, I'll get the sword!"

Sauron jumped up and cheered, and ran towards the storage place of the bamboo sword in the corner, but Kuina was stunned for a moment, because she saw Sauron with a smile on his face, and at the same time tears flowed down his face.

In a corner of the village, in the backyard of Kosaburo's residence, a dusty forge was bathed in sunlight again.

Koshiro looked at his father while sifting through the charcoal with a smile.

It has been many years, right? It seems that after my mother died, my father never lit the forge again, because my father said that my mother likes to be quiet.

Koshiro didn't like his father when he was a child, because his father always made one after another that looked very powerful, and displayed them in one room. Except for the Japanese characters in another room, other Father didn't allow himself to touch the knife.

Once, I secretly took the knives made by my father and fought with my friends in the dojo. After being discovered by my father, my father came back, smashed all the knives forged and melted them in one pot.

From that time on, every time my father forged a knife, he would pick up the hammer and break the knife. Because of this, the relationship between Koshiro and his father fell to a freezing point.

It wasn't that Koshiro didn't want to reconcile with his father, but that Kozaburo stopped talking to his son when he was forging the sword. Over time, even outside the time of forging the sword, the father and son stopped talking.

until my mother died.

Koshiro was reminiscing about the past, while Kozaburo looked at his son with a lump in his throat, swallowed his saliva, and said, "You're thinking about that too, right? Why didn't I let you touch the knives I forged? "

Hearing this, Koshiro was silent for a while, but still nodded. He knew the answer in his heart, but it didn't come from his father. He still wanted to hear his father explain it to him.

"Because the knives I forged are murder weapons. If you don't have the desire to commit murder, don't wield them! If you treat my forged knives like a joke, your soul will be swallowed!"

Seeing his son's surprised eyes, Kosaburo showed a mischievous smile, just like a child.

Koshiro was indeed astonished, because after so many years, he had already understood the first half of what his father just said, but he had never thought about the second half.

However, Koshiro soon smiled again, and said, "Father, I should be able to touch the knife this time, right? Because I won't treat every knife like a joke anymore."

"no!"

Kosaburo's tone was very firm, but Kosaburo's face turned dark a little bit. Seeing his son's appearance, Kosaburo took a deep puff of his pipe and said:

"Because I can't make any more knives worthy of you, I'm useless."

Koshiro looked at his father. He had never seen his father so helpless. Even on the day his mother died, this man just changed into a black suit and walked the village road again with his mother in white. .

Later, Koshiro knew that it was the wedding dress of his father and mother.

At that time, my father's spine was still straight and his shoulders were still reliable, but now

My own father would actually show such a helpless look because he could no longer forge a so-called knife worthy of him.

"Father, you should know that I don't care."

The tears in Koshiro's eyes stained his eyes with mist, but Kozaburo shook his head and said, "I care."

Kozaburo blinked hard, stood up, and said: "Okay, it's time to raise the furnace, you don't need to be sad, now you don't need to rely on any knife.

I forged knives just to see how wasteful I was.

Anyway, this will be the last time I forge a knife, remember my father's special skill? "

"Forging two knives at the same time."

"Hahaha~"

Hearing that his son still remembered his most proud skill, Kosaburo laughed, but the laughter was a little weak no matter how he heard it.

"Give you a chance, swing the hammer for me, I can't swing it now."

Kosaburo, who walked to the forging furnace, did not pick up the sledgehammer he used to use on the anvil with horns, but picked up a rusty small hammer from the side that had never been used until now.

Koshiro also stood up, came over with the screened coke, and said, "Father, if this time you forge a sword with the quality of a famous sword, will it be my credit or yours?"

"Forehead"

Kosaburo was taken aback for a moment, looking at Koshiro who was wielding a hammer stiffly, and then smiled: "As far as your skill is concerned, I don't know if you can persist until the end of the forging, and you still want to forge a famous sword, hahaha~"

After finishing speaking, taking advantage of the time when the coke was heating, Kozaburo looked into the distance, saw the sea in the distance through the gap in the fence, and said: "It's a pity, the saber of the world's number one swordsman was not forged by me. call taxi."

Koshiro also followed Kosaburo, looking towards the sea, speechless for a long time.

"Become a great swordsman, don't go to the sea to become famous! Nest in the remote dojo in the East China Sea as a swordsmanship instructor? Are you stupid?! You have to try it? If you can't, can't you come back?!"

Ten years ago, when I told my father that I would stay in Donghai, Shuangyue Village, and Yixin Dojo, my father also had such regretful eyes, right?

However, his father still handed over the dojo to himself.

Koshiro looked at the regretful Kosaburo, and said, "Father, the next number one swordsman in the world will wear the famous sword you forged and become famous in the sea."

"Have you figured it out? But why do you fight with them? The invincible sword power is really unprecedented!"

"I may not be able to, but I will teach it. I will spend the rest of my life teaching the world's number one swordsman."

"The number one swordsman in the world is not taught."

"Have to try it?"

The father and son looked at each other and smiled.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang~"

The sound of father and son forging swords, and the battle sound of two black sword swordsmen in the distant sea area, who are also contenders for the world's number one swordsman who cultivated the invincible sword power in their hearts, complement each other.
