Zefa didn't pay attention to Fang Xing's answer at all, nor did he pay attention to his so-called "judgment", but asked directly: "What is the purpose of your sword learning?" ”

Fang Xing actually couldn't figure out the purpose of his sword learning, maybe it was because of Crane's recommendation, maybe it was because he was worried about the strange fruit ability of this world, or maybe it was just a whim, and he felt that he had learned it in a daze.

But whatever the reason, it comes down to just those two words.

"Get stronger." Square Street.

The answer was decent, and it didn't surprise Zefa.

"So, do you know where the swordsman's strength is?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied flatly, "Lethality."

There are nothing more than four kinds of strong people in the world of pirates, the first is the strong one with physical fitness; The second is the strong person who relies on skill, such as the person who uses props; The third type is the strong of the Devil Fruit type; The fourth type is the swordsman.

And the swordsman is inside, and the most obvious feature is the incomparable lethality.

What is a sword? The sword is the murder weapon. Peach Rabbit had told him so. A swordsman is actually a person who holds the murder weapon for his own use, and uses his sword qi to cut through any object that is blocked in front of him, there is no object that cannot be cut by a sword, if there is, then it can only mean that your sword has not reached the extreme. Chopping the tangible and intangible, splitting the islands, and severing the steel, it is the destruction and destruction that it expresses.

Zefa nodded.

"This is indeed a common phenomenon, but it is not absolute, there may be a guy whose physical body is stronger than the sword qi, or a person whose ability to fully develop the ability of the devil fruit, and the destructive power caused by it is definitely not weaker than that caused by the swordsman. That's not the problem, in terms of sword skills or the destructive power of the sword, you should already be at the top level. ”

This surprised Zefa a little, the growth of a swordsman is not easier than anyone else, on the contrary, it may be extremely difficult, what is needed is the accumulation of time and continuous training, and talent. However, even if it was an amazingly talented swordsman, no one had reached such a height at Fang Xing's age and in such a short period of time when he had been in contact with a sword. This is no longer in the category of genius, if you have to use words, it is more like a monster, and this is the only word suitable to describe.

"So what am I lacking? Could it be that he didn't think of himself as a swordsman? Or is it thinking too much in battle? "Fang Xingdao.

During the battle, he has been analyzing his opponent's moves, as well as the gains and losses. He rarely uses the wooden blade recklessly, because he fears defeat if he loses his ability. Just as he had thought, while using the sword, he lacked a trace of activity.

Zefa shook his head, then nodded again.

This puzzled Fang Xing, but he was not anxious, just quietly waited for Zefa's answer with a cold expression.

"It's true that you don't think of yourself as a swordsman, but that's not the problem. Any way of fighting, as long as it can protect itself, is a good move. And your analysis is not wrong, because your analysis allows you to fight more carefully and avoid making mistakes. But think about what you're thinking about when you're analyzing. Zefa asked.

"Thinking about how to better deal with the other party's attack." Fang Xing replied.

"That's the problem, you're too analytical, in other words, you're basically trying to avoid putting yourself in danger all the time, and that's not a bad way to find stability, only the living can win. This mentality is not undesirable for swordsmen, and many swordsmen just take a defensive position to win. However, your problem is in the middle, rational analysis of you pay too much attention to your own advantages, will always use your own advantages to deal with the battle, but ignore the most important problem, that is, the fighting - momentum! ”

The word momentum is not unfamiliar to Fang Xing.

In a battle of equal strength, the side that has been blessed with momentum can basically win the battle, and there is a saying that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, which refers to this. This is also the reason why people who roar can often win against calm opponents, and some hot-blooded middle two male protagonists can also rely on their roars to overcome difficulties again and again, and even extend such a sentence. - "The output is all about roaring." This is about momentum.

"So you're saying you just have momentum? But... Pheasant doesn't look like an imposing person, so does that mean he has a problem fighting? Fang Xing said.

"You mean that Kuzan guy? Don't look at him as lazy, that guy's momentum won't be lower than anyone else when he really needs to fight. ”

"Momentum?" Fang Xing thought for a moment, and then said: "I think the pheasant is still that lazy when fighting, could it be that the opponent made it unable to lift his energy, so he didn't show his momentum?" ”

Zefa smiled slightly, "It doesn't have to be revealed to be called momentum, in fact, another manifestation of momentum is the heart, the heart to win." For example, my momentum is to protect justice and protect the hearts of students, and Kuzan is lazy, but his heart to protect justice is no weaker than anyone else, and when people have a reason to fight, they will gain inexplicable strength when fighting. ”

Zefa said more patiently than before, just because he wanted to return Fang Xing to normal through this explanation.

After listening to Zefa's words, Fang Xing had an understanding, and then put on a cold floor like a machine, "Although you said it very powerfully, it means that you can't understand it, according to the analysis..."

Zefa interrupted Fang Xing's words, and his patience was sharpened, "Don't analyze this, analyze that, just leave the battle to your heart." ”

“... I don't understand, but you can give it a try. But how do you try? ”

"What has been your reason for fighting?"

"Pretending to be forced, slapping in the face, survival."

“...？” Zefa's face was full of confusion, "What do you mean?" ”

It is the simplest words analyzed in the brain, and the explanation is to behave in front of outsiders, to retaliate when others provoke them, and the last point is to survive. I don't understand why I made the first two points, but the third point is understandable. ”

In fact, all the basic actions of human beings are actually the simplest and clearest expression of "survival", and when we recall our previous actions, although many actors cannot understand why they did the way they did before, we can know that most of them are for survival. When I first arrived in this world, I fought with pirates at the waste recycling station, and in addition to training, I wanted to survive in this chaotic world. And then a series of battles, including the slaughter of pirates, involved Doflamingo, all of which were precisely for survival. The memoirs of this world are like data in his eyes at this moment, and the pirates who came to provoke them are invading viruses, and his mission is only to protect his own annihilation.
