The forest was silent, and the morning sunlight shone down, illuminating Roger's face and becoming the man's back.
Xia Le was stunned and fell into silence for a moment.
He suddenly couldn't understand.
In the three-day and three-night battle, the opponent almost always had an absolute advantage, but just now, his condition plummeted due to illness.
But the Roger in front of him actually wanted to teach him swordsmanship?
"Or you can arrest me now!"
"This is undoubtedly a very simple matter for you!"
As he spoke, Roger stretched out his hands, as if he was at a loss.
But even if his condition is reduced to the lowest level, he faces the prospect of being arrested. But this man still had a smile on his face and looked like he didn't care at all.
Xia Le's eyes flickered. He was thinking and judging the other party's intentions.
A pirate threatened to teach him swordsmanship as a marine.
I have to admit that Roger, who has experienced hundreds of battles in his life, has extremely terrifying combat experience and skills. The same power radiating out in his hands and in his own hands are two completely different concepts.
Especially his swordsmanship is definitely the best in the world.
After about three breaths, a smile suddenly appeared on Xia Le's face.
"Would you like to trade this for your time?"
Roger also smiled: "I don't have much time, so I always want to leave something to this world."
After a pause, he stared at Xia Le again and said seriously.
"Every living person has his or her own time to appear."
"Navy Xia Le, I seem to be able to vaguely see your future and hear what you are shouting in your heart."
"This power can undoubtedly help you!"
Xia Le relaxed and smiled: "Then, deal!"
He was undoubtedly very interested in Roger's swordsmanship and what he had learned throughout his life. As for trading with pirates, such insignificant things, he didn't care at all.
"Thanks!"
Roger, who looked pale, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Seriously ill, he may be able to completely crush his opponent in battle, but once the disease relapses, it will be his defeat.
If he was caught by the other party at this time, he would be very indebted to Lujiu.
Yes, you should leave something to this world.
The traces of my past existence, what I have learned in this life.
The conclusion of the deal allowed Xia Le to temporarily live on this island.
Others on the ship, including Crocodile, Barrett, Rosinandy, T. Penn and others, kept this matter strictly confidential and they supported their superiors unconditionally.
Moreover, Xia Le was very relieved to leave the matter of suppressing the pirates in the South China Sea to them.
In other words, he completely became the master of the sword. From that day on, he followed Roger and learned swordsmanship.
Roger's teaching began on the second day.
This is completely different from Bogart's swordsmanship school. Roger started from the beginning and taught very seriously and carefully.
What made Xia Le relieved was that in addition to physical skills, he was also very talented in swordsmanship and learned quickly.
What he held in his hand was a standard saber that he usually carried around his waist or even did not carry.
"Swinging a knife is different from swinging a fist. It requires more skills and an understanding of the surroundings, space, and heaven and earth."
"Immerse yourself in the weapon in your hand, and experience the breath of the world from its perspective."
"When you master the frequency and rhythm of this world, you can cut off everything!"
Roger said softly.
Xia Le nodded, carefully practicing and understanding.
How to swing the sword, how to exert force, body posture, how to choose the angle of attack and other details have been learned before.
Roger's teaching of swordsmanship obviously pays more attention to artistic conception and details.
For this reason, he meditates every day and adjusts his breathing.
The advantage of this is that his perception of the surrounding environment becomes more delicate and clear.
"The knife is the belief in your heart, hold it and wield it."
"Cut everything in front of you, whether visible or invisible."
"Control is like your heart. When you think about cutting it off, it will be cut off. If you don't cut it off, even if the blade passes through it, it will not stop. Then you will succeed!"
As time passed, Roger's teachings were very detailed.
Xia Le was convinced that the man who had become the Pirate King had no hidden secrets.
He seems to really regard himself as a successor who can inherit the mantle, and he will do his best to cultivate him in the remaining time of his life.
For this reason, five months later, Xia Le raised his own questions.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's just a deal to extend your free time."
"But you teach with all your strength."
Hearing this, Roger slowly stood up, faced the sea, and suddenly grinned.
"Boy Xia Le."
"I am the king of pirates! What is a pirate?"
"The freest man on this sea, and I am the king among the freest men!"
"I will be free to do whatever I want!"
After a pause, he turned around and looked at Xia Le.
"I will teach you my swordsmanship. As long as you face the sea and the world in the future, you will wield a sword."
"That represents."
Roger grinned.
"I'm alive!"
"I will never die!"
He suddenly pulled out the sword named Ace from his waist and pointed it towards the sky.
"and!"
"I hear your rage against the world."
"I heard your strong cry to change the world."
"I heard it. Your restless heart is telling you all the time that you are different from the rest of the world!"
Taking a deep breath, Roger stared at Xia Le.
"Boy!"
"My time is running out, you are my bet before I die!"
The words without any concealment shocked Xia Le, who was sitting cross-legged on the shore, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
He suddenly realized that the man in front of him had the ability to listen to all things. Maybe the voice in his heart that even he can't hear can be easily heard by the other party.
"The world has big problems."
"I have no chance to change, but those who come after me are still very young."
"You can definitely do it!"
Roger came over, sat down next to Xia Le, placed Ace on the beach, and smiled suddenly in the sea breeze.
"I have retired!"
Xia Le fell into silence.
During this time together, he learned a lot about Roger and admired this man from the bottom of his heart.
Free, bold, optimistic, open-minded, and full of personality charm. When he comes in front of you and sits next to you, you will always find it difficult to control yourself and want to trust him.
Roger is indeed a strong man worthy of awe!
Not only the physical strength, but also the ethereal spiritual will.
"I don't have much time!"
"If you have the chance, please take care of Lujiu in the future."
Roger suddenly smiled again.
Xia Le turned his head and looked at the man with the mustache next to him.
"Do you have any regrets in your life?"
Roger was startled, then laughed.
"Pity?"
"When do we humans call death?"
