Whether Kozaburo Shigetsuki had done anything bad or not, Luffy didn't know, and it didn't matter.
As long as he is good now, it is enough. Every world and every era has its own rules of survival.
If we look at the entire world according to modern moral standards, Liu Bei and Liu Bang should all deserve to die, and the time-travelers who are their brothers should also deserve death, as they are morally inferior people.
When encountering such a moral saint, even Luffy can only laugh.
The most ridiculous thing is that even in modern society, most people just pretend to be moral saints on the Internet and point fingers at others.
Therefore, Luffy doesn't care about Kozaburo Shigetsuki's past at all.
He saved this village that should have been destroyed and maintained the stability of the village for a long time. This was enough. In such a story, Luffy hoped that he could get a better ending.
"Is that your answer?"
Shigetsuki Kozaburo subconsciously took out a dry cigarette, found a lighter, and lit it with a click.
"What a gentle king..." he said.
"Really? Make no mistake, grandpa, I just do what I want to do. If this is gentleness, your standards for gentleness are really low."
Luffy laughed, and then he suddenly felt that what this guy... wouldn't say is true...
People in Wano have some brain problems, and they like to call people like Oden "good men."
It's all like this, and giving yourself such a strange word as "gentle" is... unexpectedly normal.
"Please forgive me. I don't want to be a gentle person, nor do I want to be a good person. For me, these are just shackles that prevent me from doing bad things."
In order to prevent himself from being infected by the Wano people, Luffy bowed to the old man seriously.
As a player who has played many dark games, Luffy feels that only a moral vacuum is the way to be strong.
Shigetsuki Kozaburo laughed loudly,
"You guys are really interesting. Even though you say so, your body is still very honest!"
How could Garp's grandson do bad things? , think about it, it’s impossible.
This is the grandson of a naval hero.
Sorry, there's something really wrong with this Wano man's head...
Luffy felt that something was wrong, so he should go back to the gym to practice swordsmanship.
He thought so.
"Then, I won't disturb your fishing anymore... I'm leaving!"
Forget it, old guy, if he doesn’t explode his equipment, don’t infect my bad brain with my mouth and teeth!
Watching Luffy go away, Shigetsuki Kozaburo had a sudden thought:
This guy made a double-edged sword, didn't he want to warn himself, "When you hurt someone with a blade, you will also be hurt by the blade," right?
"As expected of a naval hero, Garp's grandson..."
he muttered.
"This is a king worth following. It would be too cruel for me to send such a king worth following when I am old..."
Shigetsuki Kozaburo was silent. A samurai must follow the daimyo. Only in this way can he be called a samurai.
Samurai without a famous name are called ronin. They are poor warriors who wander around without a fixed abode. They are the bottom of the despised chain of the samurai class.
He left the country of Wano and gave the sword named Yama to the young Oden. He left the country illegally and naturally broke away from the country of Wano and became a ronin.
Shigetsuki Kozaburo originally wanted to carry the title of samurai into the coffin, but it seemed that God did not intend for him to do so.
But it happened that the young king was sent to him when he was about to die.
He can no longer be loyal to it...
Even so... there should be something that can be done...
Shigetsuki Kozaburo put away the fishing rod, put it on his shoulder, and returned to the dojo leisurely.
Seems determined.
"Shiro...do you want to learn to forge a sword?"
He found his son, who was taking a tea break and wearing glasses.
"Father...are you willing to pass down the sword forging skills?" Shigetsuki Koushiro was a little surprised by his father's decision.
He saw his father's old and withered arms swelling rapidly.
Under Shigetsuki Koushiro's horrified gaze, his whole body muscles were curled up! The clothes burst in an instant!
From a skinny old man to a muscular man.
"Look carefully, this is the forging of our Shuangyue family!"
"I'll only show it once!"
He took the thin Koushiro to the utility room and found the huge hammer, the refined steel block, and the black whetstone.
His strong arms opened the mechanism on the floor, and Koushiro discovered that there was a complete set of knife-forging tools in the basement, all of which he did not recognize.
"To forge a good knife, you need to heat it to an unimaginable level. We need to use weapons to isolate the heat..."
"After the steel is heated to the point of redness, your hand must be struck quickly and evenly with a power hammer..."
Shigetsuki Koushiro looked at his father, using his explosive arms to hit the hot red steel quickly and evenly.
His arms were filled with mechanical beauty, pulling the red-hot steel into long strips under the action of the power hammer.
Shigetsuki Koushiro couldn't bear the rising heat, and had to stay and learn the family's sword forging skills. Only then did he realize that his father turned out to be such a strong man.
He noticed that his father's arm worked completely mechanically, and the frequency and force of the sledgehammer strikes were exactly the same, which was something he was completely unable to do.
"Shiro, I need your help to lift that huge square hammer and cooperate with me in forging it!" He ordered his son.
Shigetsuki Koushiro had no choice but to do as he was told. He took off his glasses, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his delicate arms, and then lifted up the extremely heavy knife forging tool.
A wave of heat hit me.
"We need to repeatedly forge the steel blank and rotate it 90 degrees internally to create the knife pattern... We must be careful not to hammer the steel blank, otherwise it will be all over. I don't have another good piece of steel to make one. Knife, there are not enough machines here to help me complete the forging..."
…
When the lunch break was over and the apprentices stayed in the dojo, they found that their teacher did not appear.
Guina had to announce her self-study, and then the apprentices happily ran to the forest and other places to play.
Self-study means playing freely.
"I don't know where my father is." Guina said regretfully.
"Then let's go play in the dreamland!" Zoro suggested excitedly.
They were not worried about anything happening to Shigetsuki Koushiro, he was their master.
So the small group of four people once again practiced with their own mirror images in the dreamland.
