The next day, five days before the "public execution", Moria's voice was heard in the Marin Vantowor training ground, explaining the basics of swordsmanship to the newly recruited students.

"Dusty, learning swordsmanship, the first basic skills, only a solid foundation, can go further in the way of the sword"

"There are four basic skills, namely footwork, wrist method, eye method, and body method"

"Footwork has parallel steps, horse steps, virtual steps, etc., which is the key to moving and turning"

"Wrist technique, that is, manual technique, can increase hand strength"

"Eyesight, Exercise Eyesight, Overcome Fear"

"Body style, there are turns, turns, bows, cooperate with offense or defense"

……

At this time, there were only Moria and Dusty in the entire training ground, and the two were sitting face to face in the center of the training ground, while Moria was talking softly and teaching Dusty.

Teach her her own immature and semi-systematic kendo unique understanding, so that she, a rookie, has a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of kendo.

"Teacher, I heard that a female swordsman will never become the number one in the world because of the limitations of her physical strength, is that true?"

"A sword is a sword, how can it be treated differently because it is a man or a woman, swordsmanship can go on a road that opens and closes, is fierce and fierce, or it can be a bridge that is soft and agile, exquisite and beautiful, and the way of the sword is walked out by people"

"Teacher, can I be as strong as you?"

"Well, no, as a teacher, I'm definitely better than you."

"Didn't you say before that you wanted me to be better than blue?"

"Huh? If you want to make me die on the beach so much, do you want to be a dutiful son?"

"Great filial son?"

"Once upon a time there was a country of Wano, and there was an island in the country of Wano, and there was a man on the island..."

……

The painting style on it is getting more and more crooked, and it's about to derail the car, but the atmosphere, naturally, it's just fun, as for why no one stopped Dusty from being alone with a sea thief?

Naturally, because last night......

Tina's room.

When Dusty woke up, it was already night, and she woke up in Tina's room.

And because they haven't seen each other for a long time, they are both old smokers, and they are also smoking cigarettes in the compartment, teasing each other and chatting awkwardly.

After hearing the noise in the room, they both came in to check on the situation.

"Dusty, how are you feeling?" , Smoker asked, looking at Dusty.

"Tina thinks it's a big problem, Sister Dusty, let's go eat, we've prepared a nutritious meal for you."

……

After eating in the restaurant, everyone was chatting, and Dusty was holding a cup full of sugar water, responding from time to time, absentmindedly thinking about something.

It wasn't until everyone was ready to get up and go back to their homes that Dusty finally uttered the first complete sentence of the night.

"Brigadier General Smoker, I want to worship the Seven Martial Seas as a teacher"

After Dusty spoke, he found that his heavy heart was inexplicably comfortable, and the heart that had been tangled was like a chaotic thread, and it was smoothed out at one time.

It made her realize that it was the right decision, and that peace of mind was proof of it.

"What, you say it again?"

The two cigars that Smoker was biting on couldn't help but fall to the ground with dust, this is an old smoker who would rather vomit blood than smoke, and he was shocked by Dusty's words.

"Sister Dusty, Tina is worried about you, isn't it, uh, hurt here?" , The pink-haired beauty Tina frowned, and it was hard to say that it hurt people, so she pointed to her head and hinted.

Smoker said in a deep voice again, "Dusty, this is Marin Vando, this is the naval headquarters, no one can force you, not even the Seven Martial Seas."

"Brigadier General Smoker, Colonel Tina, I've thought about it and know what I'm doing, please"

In the face of the "inquiry" of the two, Dusty was not uneasy, but on the contrary, he was high-spirited and upright.

Let the two of them know that she has already thought about it, it is not a hot brain, nor is it forced by threats, it is a choice made by herself.

Smoker stared at the girl in front of her, who had become more and more confident and high-spirited since she made her choice, and felt very strange for a while.

The off-line girl who was stupid and often made jokes about the wrong person, but now her spirit is like a burning flame, so high and enthusiastic.

If Chlorella saw this scene with his own eyes here, he would have realized that this was the "Guina" he was familiar with.

is not only the outline of the appearance, but also the kind of spiritual will to become a strong person and be confident and high-spirited, which is so ordinary.

The atmosphere was inexplicably dull, and Smoker was speechless with a dark face, not knowing how to refuse the request forcefully.

And Tina, smoking the cigarette between her lips, looked at the pair of bosses and subordinates, not knowing what she was thinking.

Half a moment later, it wasn't until a deep and clear voice came that the cold scene was broken.

"Let her go, it's her choice, we should respect her"

I saw that Ms. Tsuru, who appeared at some point, was sitting in the back row of the restaurant, with her hands and knees on the table, supporting her chin, and watching this "farce" with an indifferent face.

I don't know if I just came, or did I see the end from the beginning?

"Lieutenant General Crane, this, this ......", Smoker didn't know what to say, he obviously wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, which made this macho man who had never encountered such a scene feel numb.

Against? On what grounds is it opposed? Navy discipline? Position of the military thief?

Agree? Approve of the mutiny of his subordinates? How ridiculous is it that a sailor should worship a pirate as a teacher?

Smoker's mouth kept saying "this and this", but he found that his mind was getting more and more confused.

When her old classmate Tina saw Smoker, who had already "lost his temper", she couldn't help but pick up the topic, "Lieutenant General Crane, is this appropriate?" It's going to ruin Dusty's."

Yes, a sailor apprentice to a pirate will naturally not be able to gain a foothold in the navy, unless......

Ms. Tsuru got up and walked over, and the sound of tapping resounded in everyone's hearts, so loud and clear, it made people's hearts cohesive.

She walked up to Dusty, looked at Dusty, and looked at the "young eagle" who was like a partridge bird when she first saw her, but now she is like a new life.

Yes, in Tsuru's view, this is the young eagle, a young eagle that is about to leave the warm nest, and is bravely preparing to meet the unknown challenges and trials, and the way to survive.

She looked at Dusty's bright and shining eyes, imposing, exuding a flying look called "ambition".

After a moment, he finally took her right hand, then held the hand containing her with both hands, and said with a smile.

"Tell me, what is your dream?"

The feeling of the old man's warm hands in his right hand made Dusty's fiery heart calm down, and a confident smile floated, and his voice responded crisply.

"Once, I wanted to collect all the famous swords that were taken away by the wicked"

"Ever?"

"Hmm"

"And now?"

"The strongest, well, to be the strongest swordsman, I want to go and see how the scenery is above the peak of kendo"

Dusty covered his chest with his left hand and said solemnly, the aftermath of his words full of excitement.

"Isn't that a collection of famous knives?" , Ms. Crane chuckled and "teased".

"Haha~~~ Of course, you have to collect, that's the loot, the strongest swordsman, will have the strongest sword"

Dusty was dyed by Ms. Crane's gentle temperament, and couldn't help but smile, playfully saying the most "ruthless" words.

Dusty's radiant, cute and proud heroic posture made Smoker on the side deeply doubt life, is this really his Dusty?

It's like two people!

Why is this happening?

My Dusty..., phew, my subordinates are gone.

He didn't understand, really didn't understand.

Yes, he didn't understand, because he didn't realize it, it was because of ambition.

And the true power of ambition is to be able to turn salted fish into whale sharks, and honest people into werewolves.

If a person climbs out of the abyss, he will never allow himself to fall back into hell.

In the same way, those who have climbed to the top will never allow themselves to stay at the bottom of the valley and look up to others.

"The strongest swordsman? Then you can work hard, and the strongest throne now is also under the seat of the Seven Martial Seas", Ms. Crane couldn't help but "remind" casually.

"Well, I understand, I'll do my best, Chief of Staff," Dusty replied confidently, nodding in understanding.

Ms. Crane patted her little hand as a sign of encouragement, then let go of her hand and said, "Dusty, you go back first, get some rest."

Dusty looked at Smoker, nodded at him with a smile, and then said goodbye without delay, "Brigadier General Smoker, Lieutenant General Crane, Colonel Tina, I'll go back first, I'll cause you trouble"

Everyone nodded in understanding, but Smoker was stunned, just watching his subordinates leave with clean steps.

After Dusty left, Tina asked directly, "Lieutenant General Crane, Tina doesn't understand."

Don't understand what?

Naturally, I don't understand the "connivance" of the crane.

Lady Crane looked at Tina, then at Smoker, shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice.

"How can you stop someone who is chasing their dreams? Dreams can't be stopped."

"However, one is a sea soldier and the other is a pirate, not to mention realizing a dream or something, why should it have anything to do with pirates, Tina thinks it's not necessary."

"Do you think Dusty can be the strongest swordsman?"

"This ......," Tina was silent, because in her opinion, how could it be.

She didn't belittle or despise Dusty or anything, but in her opinion, it was too unrealistic for a female swordsman to become the strongest or something, but there was no need to say it explicitly.

After all, she is also a woman.

Because she is a woman, she can't be the strongest, and this "recognized" reason also makes her unable to declare it.

"Smoker, what do you think?" , Ms. Tsuru turned to the old owner of the protagonist in the topic and asked.

Call~~~~

Smoker was a little melancholy, puffing on a cigarette, looking at the roof, silent.

Silence is sometimes an answer.

There was silence for a while, and everyone was dull.

Eventually, Ms. Tsuru said with a wry smile.

"We, no, all of us, our entire Navy, no one thought that she would be able to achieve her dream"

"How can we, who don't even have the idea of believing her, stop her?"

"She bravely chose her own path"

"We should support her to pursue her dreams with the banner of faith"

"Moreover, the apprentice of the pirate may not be a pirate, at least not Dusty"

"Dusty is a good boy, I'm sure she'll choose 'justice'"
