He scanned with his Observation Haki and found that there were no masters nearby, so he decided to show off. Back then, Master Koshiro's move of splitting mountains and stopping water had shocked him for a long time, and this time it was time for him to show off.
He took Kuina's wooden sword and continued to move to the beach.
With a gentle wave, the leaves blown to the seaside by the mountain breeze were unharmed.
"A swordsman can cut through anything."
He also waved lightly at the boulder.
"A swordsman can cut through anything."
The huge stone is divided into two halves, and the cut surface is as smooth as a mirror. It is very high-end and artistic.
This move made the two children's eyes widen. It was just a wooden sword. If it was swung at a person, the scene would be too beautiful. They couldn't even imagine it.
At this time, the black Armament Haki covered the wooden sword, and a black knife appeared. Now that it has been displayed, let's show more.
He took a deep breath, gathered his sword intent, and then swung his sword. He slashed a red flying strike towards the sea. At first, the strike looked very thin, but it grew bigger and bigger. After falling into the sea, it directly cut through a thousand meters of sea.
A large canyon was cut out of the sea for a short time, and the seabed was marked with sword marks. After a while, the sea closed in the middle, covering up the shocking blow. The huge roar of the collision of the currents shocked everyone present.
"Is this...really still swordsmanship?"
Kuina asked with trembling voice, the upper limit of her kendo was broken. In fact, even Koshiro was shocked. Such a realm of kendo was just one step away.
When the young Zoro saw this scene, he was really... too excited. This was the realm he would definitely reach in the future, the Sea Division. Unfortunately, for some reason, he always felt that something was missing. Did he not say anything before making the move? Would this be a scene of Nine Mountains and Eight Seas?
Young man, your path is a bit strange.
Chapter 124: A Sword Opens the Sky
At this point in the demonstration, Noah was a little excited. He had a hunch that if he continued, something different would happen. So he continued. He turned around and handed the wooden sword to Kuina, who was still immersed in the sea sword. He could no longer use this sword, so he drew out the Wado Ichimonji.
The armed color entangled, the mind focused and united, feeling the breath of the sword, and then...
An incomparable domineering aura descended upon this world. The violent fluctuations caused the spirit to interfere with the reality. The surrounding tangible objects and intangible spirits were also destroyed by the tremendous pressure.
Noah controlled this power and deliberately bypassed Kuina and the others. At this time, they could not bear this kind of power and would be psychologically traumatized. However, the power was not completely restrained, and the domineering aura still made the two children feel difficult to breathe and stressed.
The red torrent that did not exist in this world was wantonly venting something in this space. One after another, illusory figures appeared, some were roaring, some were kneeling and crying, some were fighting back, and some were swinging swords to kill the enemy. In the end, everything turned into the most intense red and slowly gathered on the sword.
When the phantom disappeared, the terrifying power was completely concentrated on Wado Ichimonji.
The domineering color is entangled, it’s done!
Looking at the crushed bushes, crushed rocks, animals lying unconscious on the ground, and the silent forest behind me.
The pupils of the people present shrank. They were afraid of the unknown. This was not swordplay at all. What kind of power had caused such a terrifying phenomenon before it even erupted? The red power flowed through the sword, eager to be released and destroy everything in its path.
"Damn it, what is this time!"
No one could answer Zoro's question. Koshiro was in self-doubt. He knew about Conqueror's Haki, but was this really Conqueror's Haki? There was no record of this Conqueror's Haki in the classics. This red color that burned everything, the phantoms of countless people, what was this? Koshiro had the same question as Zoro.
Looking at his own achievements, Noah realized that he had reached the threshold. It turned out that this step was so simple. A sword with all his strength?
Looking at the sky, the thick clouds seemed like a palm covering the sea. He raised his arm and swung his sword heavily.
A strong red sword energy rushed straight into the sky. This sword energy contained the years of history and the torrent of humanity. All the visible and invisible things blocking its way were chopped into pieces. Finally, the sky opened up!
The boundless clouds were cut apart, as if the sky was split apart. This sword reached the pinnacle.
Red-haired Shanks, who was drinking in Windmill Village, had a flash of red in his eyes and disappeared instantly. He came to the coast and looked in the direction of Shimotsuki Village with a shocked look on his face.
After that, all the crew members appeared here one by one.
"What's wrong, Shanks?"
Beckman, who had used his Observation Haki at full power, didn't feel anything and asked curiously. You know, he was stronger than Shanks in Observation Haki, but Shanks seemed to feel something but he didn't, which was a bit unreasonable.
But he believed in Red Hair's judgment. Although this captain was usually erratic and lazy, acted on his whim, loved to hold parties, and was always drunk, he was a very reliable person at critical moments.
"Nothing, I just didn't expect that a great swordsman would be born in the East China Sea at this time, and he is not far from us. I just happened to sense some information about him, and I really want to meet him. Right, Griffin."
As Shanks spoke, an unfathomable sword intent surged from his body and he patted the hilt of his sword. This was the resonance between great swordsmen.
"Captain, don't do anything rash at this time. The East China Sea can't stand the two of you making trouble. You will lure Garp back early. Then things will get out of control."
Thinking about his mission and free will, the red-haired man pressed down his straw hat and controlled his desire to fight. He looked in that direction for a long time, finally sighed and turned around.
"Hahaha, it's okay, let's go, go back and continue drinking. By the way, did the last person to leave pay? Makino will be sad, you guys."
"Captain, wasn't it you who ran away first? We thought you ran away because you didn't have money to pay the bill, so we followed you out."
Shanks covered his face, wondering what kind of people he had found in the first place. The crew covered their faces, wondering why they had followed such a captain in the first place.
Let's not talk about what's going on in Windmill Village. At the seaside of Shimotsuki Village, Noah slowly sheathed his sword. Looking at the clouds in the sky that were split in half, he was also shocked. Could he have cut this out?
He himself was a little bit unconvinced. Originally, after reaching this level in swordsmanship, he had a certain mental preparation to be stuck at this stage for a few years, maintaining the realm, tempering the body, and then developing the fruit, and then breaking through in a life-and-death battle. The Revolutionary Army had no shortage of such opportunities. As a result, he broke through just after reaching Donghai, which was a bit unbelievable.
After entering the realm of the Great Swordsman, I feel that my sword energy is different from before, as if it is more spiritual. The degree of concentration of the sword energy is also incomparable. This feeling is mysterious. No wonder there is no specific description of the realm of the Great Swordsman in books. It makes sense. An all-round improvement, the gap in combat power is huge.
After the breakthrough, Noah felt that it would be very easy for him to fight his previous self. Of course, it was not a life-or-death battle, as this was not a fantasy world. He could win easily, but he would still be defeated if he encountered a dirty trick. Akainu was a lesson for him.
The sense of security brought by the breakthrough has also increased a lot. At least it won't be so easy to lose to an opponent like Red Hair. Yes, it won't be so easy to lose.
Noah is now the floor tile of this class. Anyone can beat him, but no one can easily defeat him. After all, he is the youngest, has the least experience, and his physical fitness has not been honed to the peak. He still has obvious shortcomings.
"Noah, have you broken through to that level?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that myself."
Koshiro was excited. He was witnessing the birth of a legend. Even in Wano Country, a great swordsman could go down in history.
There is no need to talk about Kuina and Zoro. They don't know the difference between a swordsman and a great swordsman. They only know that Kuina's teacher can split the clouds in the sky. This is too powerful.
The world of Kendo opens to the seeds of Kendo in the future at this moment, planting the original intention of becoming stronger and stronger. One day, I will also cut open this piece of sky.
Chapter 125 The Name of the Sword
"Robin, do you know how many ways there are to write the word sword?"
"Hmm? You mean your breakthrough to become the Great Swordsman?"
Noah was shocked!
"How did you know?"
"I can feel that domineering aura in the village. The sword that cuts through the sky is so beautiful and magnificent. By the way, what does the sword writing mean?"
"it's okay no problem."
I miscalculated. Robin's current strength is not weak. It is normal for her to sense the abnormality at the seaside. Moreover, she is also very familiar with her sword energy, so she can naturally see something.
Damn, I didn't pretend. It's so amazing, but only the people around me know about it. How boring. I'll just scare the dragon next time I see him, hehehehehe.
Noah, who was lost in fantasy, showed a strong smile. I, Noah, am a great swordsman.
Looking at the silly grinning Noah, Robin smiled helplessly. This brother-like person always behaved childishly, but she was used to it.
"Oh, yes, Robin."
Noah came to his senses and called Robin.
"whats the matter?"
"I have a new disciple, you know, Master Koshiro's daughter, Kuina. I will have to trouble you for a while."
"understood."
Both the brother and sister smiled meaningfully.
Koshiro returned to the Shimotsuki Gym and took Kuina to the quiet room, where the famous sword "Autumn Water" was enshrined. The dark sword body was full of divine light, and the sword was full of spirit, waiting for the next swordsman to hold it.
The father and daughter had never sat opposite each other so formally before. After a moment of silence, Koshiro finally spoke.
"Guina, following Noah will lead you to an unprecedented path, a path full of difficulties and dangers, and you may pay the price of your life at any time. I occasionally reflect on whether this is good for you, but after seeing the brilliance in your eyes when you practiced sword, I finally made this decision. I hope you won't blame me in the future."
"No, father, this is my own decision. A swordsman should never regret his actions. I believe that following Master Noah, I will definitely reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Besides, father, do you think that after seeing that Heaven-Slaying Sword, I can still resist exploring such a path forward?"
The gleam in the girl's eyes is so dazzling at this moment, she is a natural swordsman.
"Follow him. As long as you survive, you will definitely see the scenery at the top. He has been to the top of the Red Earth Continent, the strongest place in the world, twice. He is really an incredible person.
Do you know how many years it took him to reach that level after learning swordsmanship? It only took him 10 years, which is not much different from Longma's ancestors.
Others may marvel at his talent, but I won’t. I have also seen how many life-and-death crises he had to face and how much pressure he had to bear to get to where he is today.
Maybe there were some adventures, maybe there were other opportunities, but his growth experience was not replicable. 10 years ago, he was just an Ohara survivor who was on the run with his sister and was hunted by the World Government.
I originally thought that he practiced kendo to protect himself or his family. But I didn't expect that the boy gave me an unimaginable answer.
Whether it's sword training or boxing training, it's fine. These are just tools on his way to overthrow the world government.
At first I thought his kendo heart was not pure, but he walked his own path with his actual actions, and it seems I was wrong."
Listening to her father's words, Kuina's heart was shaken. She didn't expect that the master she had just worshipped had such a predecessor. 10 years? What a tragic life.
She seemed to be able to travel through time and see the boy kneeling in the quiet room, stubbornly speaking such an idea that went against common sense. Thinking of herself, she didn't think that if she were in the same situation, she would have the same courage as that boy to be an enemy of the world, and naturally do things that ordinary people couldn't do!
I admire Master Noah more and more. He is truly a respectable man.
"Kuina, during this period of time, go to your master to learn swordsmanship and lay a good foundation. After that, he will take you away from the East China Sea, and you will meet countless geniuses on the sea. They will be your future enemies.
It is your fate to have your sword stained with blood. I hope you can live up to the name of Frost Moon and let the world know who the swordsman Kuina is."
Hearing her father's straightforward expectations, Kuina's eyes were a little red. No matter how hard she trained before, she never received her father's expectations. Today, she finally heard it with her own ears, and it was in the name of Shimotsuki.
"Yes, father, I will make the name of Shimotsuki resound throughout the sea!"
The girl made a vow with absolute certainty.
After a while, Kuina left the quiet room and returned to the playground with a wooden sword. It would be inconvenient to disturb Master Noah directly at this time, so she decided to go tomorrow.
As soon as I arrived at the playground, I saw Zoro, who was the most restless in the past, holding three wooden swords and leaning against the wall, thinking about something. Was he... struck by Master Noah? Yes, that kind of sword light is what my generation pursues in their lives. As the most promising Zoro in the gym, he will definitely be addicted to it.
When the master is busy, the disciples should do the work. As a disciple of Master Noah, I have the obligation to comfort the children who are frightened by the master. This is the self-awareness of a senior disciple.
"Zoro, please don't..."
"Damn it! How can such a powerful sword move not have a name like Explosion? That guy is too much!"
Kuina instantly put on a Shura face, tightly grasped the hilt of the sword with her right hand, and asked calmly.
"What do you think it should be called?"
"Nine mountains and eight seas, nothing is left uncut, One Sword Style, Supreme Shura Power, Cut the Sky! Hmm? Kuina, why are you here?"
"I just didn't expect you to be such a big ~idiot~!"
The last three words roared out made Zoro dizzy and his soul almost left his body.
Pulling out her wooden sword, Kuina's anger seemed to materialize, and she was going to chop this green algae's head. Seeing my master's shocking sword, you actually care most about the name? He even helped to come up with a name, and it sounds good, but it is still unforgivable. Then, Zoro, come and receive your thousandth defeat!
"Damn it, woman, don't think I'm afraid of you, come and feel the power of my three sword style!"
Holding a sword in each hand and another in his mouth, Zoro felt very powerful, and the battlefield between the children began again.
Later, Roronoa Zoro was defeated again by Kuina Shimotsuki.
"Hmph, you're still a long way from that, Zoro."
After saying that, Kuina turned and left, leaving behind a lonely and arrogant figure.
In fact, it was, 'This guy's progress is so terrifying that I can't even suppress him. Is this the limit my father talked about? Fortunately, I have a new path, Zoro, I will always be waiting for you in front of you.'
Chapter 126 Robin's Cthulhu
duang~~!
"This...this...what is this, Master!"
Kuina looked at the pile of books on the table with tears in her eyes. She flipped through them casually, reading about land reform, the contradictions of class antagonism, the destruction of utopia, etc. She knew all the words, but she couldn't recognize them together. The intellectual elder sister in front of the desk was looking at her with a pressured look.
She looked helplessly at the master she had just worshipped, hoping to be relieved. She came here to learn sword, not to take classes with an older sister.
Noah looked at his young apprentice and understood that the introduction was missing.
