The moon is like a hook, and the night is slightly cool.

Tsuzuki, who was hiding behind the clouds, also seemed to be attracted by the conversation between Makino and Koshiro, and quietly crawled out from behind the dark clouds.

Looking at Makino, Koshiro opened his eyes and was extremely satisfied.

"Makino, you did a good job this time, not only saved Guina's life, but also made up for Guina's long-standing weakness compared to a boy's heart disease. As a father, I am so grateful to you! ”

Makino: "Master, it's too obvious for you to say this, I didn't take it for granted to save Guina!" ”

Koshiro shook his head, "You are rightfully your share, and I am grateful for my father's son." ”

Makino suddenly smiled, and the master has changed a lot!

"Although the Asura Fruit finally turned around and returned to Guina's hands, you still made me have no regrets in my heart. Thank you, Makino! ”

Makino was just about to say something, but Koshiro stopped him.

"Makino, you don't have to be modest, you are better than I imagined, you have completed the task I gave you very well, and you have guarded the dojo very well!"

Makino: "No, the signboard of the dojo has been smashed by Teragawa!" ”

"The signboard of the dojo is never a plaque. Makino, you have done all my tests brilliantly, and I will give you this letter! ”

As he spoke, Koshiro took out a piece of paper from his sleeve that was a little yellowed, but it was kept in excellent condition.

When I opened it, there were four big characters written on it, such as the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - all of them were not allowed.

The dojo measures the level of its disciples and has its own set of evaluation criteria.

"Cutting paper" is the initial level, which is a term for beginners;

The "catalogue" is the second level, which represents the name of the skill learned through the practice;

"Exemption" means that you can tell others the name of the school you are studying, which means that you can become a teacher;

"All the legends" refers to the inheritance of all the techniques of the school, representing the most outstanding disciples in the school, and the existence of the lintel that is enough to glorify the lintel;

As for the "free to pass it on", it is a rarer rank, which means that you can pass on the skills of the master to others without the approval of the master.

This means that you have the right to take disciples alone!

Makino didn't expect that Koshiro would give him these four words, which represented the master's highest recognition of his disciple.

Seeing that this piece of paper has been yellowed, it must have been some years, and there may be other stories behind it!

Seeing Makino's shocked expression, Koshiro smiled with relief.

This disciple of his is really terrifyingly smart, and it is his supreme honor to be such a genius master.

Of course, there are inevitably many frustrations once in a while!

The disciple is too smart, and sometimes the master really has nothing to teach, as for the sense of achievement...... Needless to say!

Koshiro: "Makino, this calligraphy was originally passed down to me by my master, and now I will pass it on to you." ”

This character was passed down to him by Koshiro's master?

Makino was taken aback, and suddenly felt that the writing in his hand was a little heavy.

Makino thought about it, and immediately carefully and cautiously folded the words again, and then stored them closely.

Seeing Makino cherishing this character so much, Koshiro suddenly felt that a big stone fell in his heart.

Koshiro: "Makino, I didn't plan to tell you about this sooner, but you're better than I thought. I'll tell you all about it! ”

Makino wondered, what was Koshiro going to tell him?

"Makino, receiving the title of Wai Ji Ji means that you have learned all the techniques of the Yixin Dojo. But the world is so vast, with your current swordsmanship, among all the swordsmen, it can probably only be regarded as a medium level! ”

"Medium?"

Makino wasn't too surprised, after all, the high-level combat power of the One Piece world was really at the level of destroying the world.

On top of the war, Whitebeard casually caused a major earthquake and a tsunami, destroying the naval headquarters Marin Fando.

The general Pheasant makes a move in the Ice Age, and a sea area can be frozen!

As for the world's No. 1 swordsman Hawkeye, it is even more of a big move to use Ping A, and he can slash out a sword qi of hundreds of meters in length and width with a single blow.

His strength is really nothing in the world of One Piece.

However, Makino is curious, how does Koshiro judge his strength level?

Seeing Makino's puzzled expression, Koshiro suddenly smiled even more happily, finally meeting Makino who didn't know the realm.

It's too difficult for him to be a master!

"Yes. In my understanding, kendo can actually be divided into four realms:"

"The first realm is to use the sword as a weapon for combat, and simply know some swordsmanship. The current Guina and Zoro are in this realm. ”

"The second realm is the combination of swordsmanship and will, and the realization of one's own [Tao]. Makino, your Ming King is the Tao in your heart. In this realm, swordsmen are able to easily cut through steel. ”

"The third realm is the combination of swordsmanship and domineering. Domineering is easy to obtain, but one is hard to find. Therefore, I have never told you about the cultivation method of domineering before, because I am afraid that you will be too ambitious. With domineering, the sword can be temporarily turned into a 'black knife', which greatly increases the power of the sword. ”

Koshiro said, breaking a branch from the garden.

"The technique of wrapping the weapon with the domineering color of the weapon is also called [Ryu Sakura] in the hometown of the division, Makino you see ......"

Perhaps it was because Makino was deliberately shown that Koshiro made the speed of the armed color entanglement very slow, and Makino could even see the domineering spirit spreading to the branches little by little.

"Domineering is the hidden power of the human body, which cannot be used by ordinary people, and requires long-term cultivation and guidance to do it. It feels like the skin is burning and heating from the inside out, turning orange-red and then metallic shiny black. ”

Sonor!

With a sound effect, Makino's fist first turned orange-red, then pitch black.

"Master, is that so?"

Smack!

Koshiro's squinting eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes almost flew his glasses.

What the hell is this?

No matter how good the talent is, there must be a limit, right?

Koshiro feels that his mentality is a little broken!

Seeing Koshiro's gaffe, Makino suddenly sighed.

"Master, thank you for your teaching, domineering Actually, when I was fighting against Sihe, I comprehended what I saw and heard. Then, my fruit abilities taught me to be armed and overlord! ”

Nani?

Koshiro felt the urge to vomit blood.

What kind of ghost fruit is this tree fruit?

Can you even learn to be domineering indirectly?

What's even more ridiculous is that even the overlord color is no exception!

Makino Wan'er was completely amused by Koshiro's gaffe.

However, after all, Koshiro is a great swordsman, and his mentality is still very good, and he adjusted it in an instant.

Koshiro said with a solemn expression, "Makino, your fruit ability is very strong, but as a swordsman, you must not rely too much on the fruit. The strength of the heart is the real strength. ”

Makino: "Yes. ”

Koshiro nodded, "The fourth realm is 'forging a sword with a body after a hundred battles', so that the sword will permanently become a real 'black knife'. In the hometown of the teacher, there is a national treasure called 'Black Sword Qiushui', which was forged by the great sword master Ryoma with his life. ”

"The black knife, also known as the 'reactive knife' and 'the grinding knife', may not be sharp enough, but it is extremely tough, and only the real great sword master can forge it. The tenacity of the black knife is so strong that even if a dinosaur steps on it, it won't bend a millimeter......"

Hearing Koshiro's story, Makino couldn't help but be fascinated.

Casting a real black knife, this may be the so-called road of the sword hero!

"Makino, you come with your teacher!"

"Yes."

Although Makino was puzzled, he still followed behind Koshiro.
