On the beach, Yuyouzi sighed and slowly shook her head.
"Sure enough, it's too difficult to change your habits all at once..."
Although Yuyuko deliberately wanted to be familiar with the application of abilities after awakening her fruit ability, her fruit ability awakening and material assimilation and effect enhancement were different.
Tracing back to its origins, the power of simply controlling the wind is not an obvious improvement for Yuyouzi. The main reason is that due to her previous usage habits, once she enters a combat state, she will naturally use the previous wind blade.
This is a body conditioned reflex developed through long-term use. How to describe this feeling...
Let me give you an example.
In the past, Youyouzi could only eat a plate of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts.
Now that the chef has learned the art, he can not only cook garlic sprouts, but also green peppers, lotus seeds, and cowpeas. He can even unlock salt-fried pork. But due to her long-standing taste habits, Youyouzi always subconsciously eats garlic sprouts and cooks them again.
And there's another reason.
The way she used the wind before was actually the most suitable way for fighting.
Sharp, fast, efficient and silent. It can be said that even if it were a swordsman who could fly and slash, he would be driven crazy.
Think about how long others have been practicing to look cool, but you only need to move your fingers.
Unless one has advanced to the level of a great swordsman like Hawkeye, whose flying slashes are no longer just flying slashes, anyone who plays with swords will probably be beaten to death by her wind. At least Kuina would no longer choose Yuyuko as her training partner.
Except when she needs to practice dodging.
But having said that, Yuyuko is a little puzzled that Kuina hasn't awakened yet.
Yuyuko thought about Zoro's growth experience in the comics and touched her chin with some uncertainty, "Are the upgrade conditions for swordsmen different from others?"
Yuyuko couldn't figure it out, and it even logically said that Kuina should be able to use the flying slash after awakening the armed color Haki. but now……
…
"Sister Kuina, why don't you practice sword practice today?" A bored Yanan was swinging on the railing at the stern of the Dabai. Not far from her, Kuina placed the waning moon on her legs and sat cross-legged. On the side, his eyes were closed and his whole body looked like a wooden stake.
"Practice is not enough for the practice of swordsmanship. In swordsmanship and swordsmanship, there is both sword and Tao. The sword is practiced with the body and accumulated with sweat, while the Tao is experienced with the heart."
"Is it so complicated? I thought kendo was much simpler than my hammer." Yanan said, thinking about his big hammer that weighed almost a ton. "Every time I swing the hammer, I feel a little slow. I thought it was difficult to use a hammer..."
Guina "..."
Although her eyes were closed, she still had a speechless expression.
Weapons like hammers do not require much skill, but the point of hammers is that they are difficult to use. Especially Yanan's hammer, Kuina didn't dare to fight it casually. It wouldn't be a big problem if it didn't hit, but if it hit...
In Yuyouzi’s words, it is recommended to delete the account.
A blunt weapon without an edge, it seems to have no skills, but as long as you are familiar with the corresponding power-generating techniques, the hammer is indeed an extremely domineering weapon. If there is a blind nature type who is wrapped in domineering by Yanan and uses the hammer, it will be really Back to nature.
"So Sister Kuina, are you practicing Taoism?"
"No, and what is training?"
"Sword training is just making blind gestures with the sword. You are sitting there without moving. You must be practicing Tao. Didn't you say that sword and Tao are separate?"
It's not like that...
Guina thought for a while and said, "Actually, I just feel that I have stagnated recently. Although I didn't participate too much in the previous battle, I still understand my own situation. My father said that the practice of swordsmanship reaches the end. It is no longer just about training skills, but training oneself. No matter how proficient sword skills are, they are just sword skills, which are just tricks to kill people. However, the way of sword starts with the sword, then returns to oneself, and finally the sword becomes one. A kind of practice."
"I don't understand it a bit, but it doesn't matter. I play with hammers anyway."
"..."
Guina was speechless, but she didn't say anything more and continued her previous actions calmly.
Her movements looked very much like Jian Zen, but in fact she was just following the instructions of her father to feel the objects around her.
Everything has a shape, and with every shape there is a weakness, and attacking this weakness can cause damage. By sensing all things, you can sense the weaknesses of all things, then the sword will be extremely sharp and can cut everything.
This is the threshold for a swordsman to become a swordsman.
The most typical representative is the ability to cut through steel.
But crossing the threshold is just the beginning. If you want to continue to improve, you need to continue to accumulate. In the end, you will be able to move anything.
Kuina has actually mastered Cutting Steel for a while, but her proficiency is not high.
Obviously, she is not very good at perception yet and needs to continue to practice.
"By the way, Yuyouzi said that he is leaving today, and he doesn't know how soon he will be here."
"What she said is probably already on the way here secretly." Kena jumped down from the mast above and landed lightly next to Yanan. "Let's go, it's time to go down and wait for her. Almost all the people seeing her off are here. Gu Ina, come too."
Kuina opened her eyes and said, "Yeah."
After being interrupted repeatedly, she could no longer enter the state well. In that case, she should go pick up the idiot captain first.
I hope she won't get lost on the road of life again...
…
A group of people were chatting and waiting on the shore below the boat. It became a little noisy when they saw Kona Kuina and Yanan coming off the boat.
"Come down, so she's the only one left~?"
"No, but it's okay to wait for the Wind Messenger. Hey, the Tianlan Witch is here, and the man in black robes next to her...can't be Anan."
A man with sharp ears and cheeks beside him quickly whispered, "You are not talking nonsense. Although he is wearing a black robe, I can still recognize the look in his eyes! But didn't you say that the messenger will come with the witch? Why haven't you come yet? come over?"
"Who knows?"
…
At this time, Youyouzi met an acquaintance who was not an acquaintance on the road.
The blue pheasant originally wanted to catch up on his sleep in the bushes by the sea.
Even if Aoki looks for a place to sleep, he will not completely hide himself. After all, he is just fishing and it is not a crime. And even if he fishes, the most he will get is a slap in the face from the Warring States Period. His righteous attitude since O'Hara has always been In this way, Warring States has long been accustomed to it. As long as he can complete the task normally, Warring States will not interfere with his fishing behavior at all.
Moreover, he had already exposed his legs and part of his body out of the bushes. Unless he was blind, he would definitely not be tripped.
However……
He miscalculated.
Who knew that not long after I fell asleep, I felt my feet tripping over someone. Pulling off the blindfold, I found a girl who eats dirt.
Black hair, white legs, Nicole...
"Wow, long time no see, perverted black-haired lolicon."
"..."
A perverted black-haired lolicon brought out memories that had been buried in the dust for many years.
Meeting those eyes, Aokiji quickly confirmed that this was the guy who lay on his head and pointed at his nose, saying that he was a lolicon.
How could he be a lolita control~
He was obviously just a little cold.
Just a few hundred million points.
He actually has no interest in lolicon or anything like that.
"It's you, kid, why do you interrupt my sleep every time I see you." Qingzhi sighed silently. "By the way, I remember that you should be at Amazon Lily, why are you here? And I remember that the Nine Snakes Pirates were not in this area before."
Youyouzi giggled and said very naturally
"I'm going out to do it alone~"
"Oh~"
It's like pulling off a blindfold.
He came from far away for the Warring States Period mission, and as long as he was connected to the navy here, he couldn't even think about having a good rest. Kizaru had escaped a few days ago, and he was just waiting for him to clean up the mess. And from what Kizaru said, this time's matter seems to involve the historical text, which makes him annoyed.
O'Hara wanted to come to Carnival City just because that thing was gone.
However, the Big Mom Pirates had already snatched it away, so the World Government did not continue to pursue Carnival City. He had even figured out why he came here this time.
In other words, his position is suitable for knowing the true content of the historical text, and he also needs to ask whether Carnival City has studied the historical text.
Anyway, he has a lot of things to do, is very troublesome, and is probably a bad person.
"Hey, you are indeed a perverted black-haired lolita. I just evolved from the childhood stage to the growth stage, and you have become such an inconsiderate person now."
"Is it possible that something else is going on?"
"I'm a pirate now, can't you react a little bit?" Yuyuko said, kicking Aoki.
Qingzhi wordlessly lifted his blindfold again. The last guy who touched him like this was his idol Garp.
But this guy...
"Kid, do you really want me to arrest you?" At first, he didn't think of it, but once he shared some information, Aokihiko quickly locked onto Yuyouko's identity.
"You wouldn't do this."
"..." Aokiji was stunned. Yuyuko was the first pirate since he became a navy to be so unafraid of him. Both before and now. "Why?"
"Because I didn't do anything bad~" Yuyouzi said hehely, "Uncle, your justice will not care about people like me."
"...Supernova, 150 million. You are not an ordinary pirate."
"But did I do anything bad?"
"Theft of America's palace treasury."
"I didn't take any money. I call it taking from the people and using it for the people."
"Taking it from the people and using it for the people?" Qingzhi was slightly stunned. "There is some truth~"
No, that’s not why I’m talking about this here.
Qing Pheasant slapped him beside him, and a piece of frost rushed towards Youyouzi. "Kid, if you don't leave, I'll go to work."
He paused emphatically on the word "go to work". At the same time, his eyes signaled.
Little girl, I advise you to act like a rat, don’t be disrespectful.
"Slip away!!!"
Sticking out her tongue and making a playful face, Yuyuko laughed and ran away.
Aokiji is different from other generals. Yuyuko has already come into contact with this one at Amazon Lily. It is precisely because of this contact that Yuyuko likes Aokiji's frankness and magnanimity, which he inherited from Garp. He has his own understanding of things. and judgment. Especially after their separation that year, he probably paid attention to Nicole Robin from time to time over the years, and he should have become more and more like the salty fish who looked down on the state of the world government and navy.
"Hey, what a good and energetic young man he was, he turned into a salty fish for such reasons. It's really..." "Interesting."
Suddenly Youyouzi stopped.
"By the way, what was I originally going to do?"
"Looks like they are getting ready to sail... Hey!!! It's over, Σっ is probably going to be beaten up by Sister Kona again this time..."
