Chapter 10: Out to Sea
Hart - A second-year teenager born and raised in Frostmoon Village, he is also one of Lynch's few friends.
When One Piece turned himself in a year ago and was publicly executed, Lynch expected that this kid would definitely go to sea.
At the beginning of the Age of Discovery, Hart, who did not know the height of the sky, secretly boarded a ship and quietly went to sea.
Unfortunately but fortunately, the ship did not leave long before it encountered a group of pirates, and everyone on board was killed.
Hart, on the other hand, was lucky, and after being knocked into the sea, he swam back with good water quality.
Now Hart never brought up the matter of the sea again, and returned home honestly.
However, he has changed his past state of being a child, and he is much more serious when he learns swords in the gym on weekdays, and has become the first student in the gym to officially enter kendo except for Lynch.
This shows that this kid still hasn't given up the idea of going to sea, but after escaping death, he has matured a lot and knows the importance of power.
Not to mention, Hart, who became serious, showed an amazing talent for kendo, coupled with his hard work on weekdays, he quickly accumulated good strength.
Lynch feels that this kid still has a lot of potential, as long as he doesn't die halfway, it is still possible to become a swordsman in the future.
On this day, Lynch was holding the bladeless "Liu Heng" and trying to feel the realm of cutting iron, and Hart ran over in a hurry.
"Lynch, Lynch, there's a ship out to sea! Are you going or not? Hart ran over and shouted.
"Huh? Where did the ship go to sea? Didn't you hear that anyone in the village was going to sea? Hearing this, Lynch put down "Liu Heng" and frowned.
"It's not a boat in the village, it's a boat outside, come to us to recruit crew, Lynch, will you go?"
After saying that, Hart looked at Lynch expectantly.
It's a pity that Lynch still shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not ready to go to sea yet, my kendo is not perfect." ”
"What! You're so good, what else are you practicing? And after going to sea, I can't say that your kendo will progress faster. Hart bewitched.
"No, I won't be ready to go to sea until I practice to the realm of cutting iron, and the teacher won't let me go." Lynch still refused, and persuaded Hart: "I advise you not to go, you should practice swords for a few more years, and then you can have the strength to protect yourself when you go to sea." ”
Hart was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said seriously: "Lynch, I can't wait, I still have to go to sea." ”
Lynch wanted to persuade me again, but Hart interrupted: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I am not the material to settle down to practice swords, and I won't make much progress after a few years of practice, I think maybe going to sea is the way for me to become stronger." ”
Lynch opened his mouth and didn't say anything, this is Hart's choice, he can't impose his ideas on others, maybe this is really the path Hart should take!
Hart eventually left, following the pirate ship that was recruiting seafarers in the village.
Lynch also took a look, the strength of the pirates was not bad, not like the kind of pirates who burned, killed and looted, and the atmosphere of the crew was also good.
That captain, in particular, was a rare Devil Fruit ability in the East China Sea.
In order to recruit the crew, the captain made a special show of strength.
The animal is a gray wolf fruit ability, and it is already a rare powerhouse in the East China Sea.
After Hart left, Lynch began to practice his kendo again.
I don't know why, Lynch's perception of the realm of cutting iron is always a little bit worse.
Koshiro is also very strange, Lynch's talent in all aspects of kendo is very prominent, but he didn't expect to be stuck in the realm of cutting iron.
But Koshiro didn't have any better way to help Lynch, so he could only encourage him not to give up.
Lynch, who had practiced hard to no avail, slowly found that something seemed to be wrong, otherwise it would be impossible to have the guidance of Koshiro and his current kendo cultivation, but he was stopped by a realm of cutting iron.
Lynch began to reflect on what he had done wrong.
One night, when Lynch was cleaning up his house, he accidentally found a manual that he had pressed under the box to record the kendo inheritance of Dugu's defeat, which he had specially copied when he had just returned from the Condor World.
Lynch suddenly figured out what his problem was, it was in this Dugu Nine Swords!
The kendo that I have been practicing is a combination of Dugu Nine Swords and the Kendo of the Pirate World, although it is strong and powerful, but its core is Dugu's swordsmanship experience.
Dugu's swordsmanship experience made Lynch's kendo cultivation improve rapidly, but it also affected Lynch's kendo accordingly.
And Dugu's sword path is different from this world after all, it can't be said who is strong and who is weak, it's just that Dugu's sword path has the shadow of internal strength, and the power of the sword can be improved by internal strength.
But this point invisibly blocked Lynch's perception of the realm of cutting iron, so that Lynch has been practicing hard to no avail.
Knowing what the problem is, then everything is easy to say.
Lynch first sealed his internal strength with the acupoint technique, so that he could no longer use his internal strength when practicing the sword, and then began to practice hard with "Liu Heng".
Although there was a lot of discomfort at first, Lynch slowly got used to the feeling over time.
Everything became easier, and Lynch successfully sensed the realm of cutting iron, completing the key step of becoming a sword master.
And during this period of throwing away the internal force, Lynch's physical strength has also made a great breakthrough, and the Dao force value has reached 300, which has risen by half.
............
On the dock of Frostmoon Village, a group of villagers are seeing off Lynch, and he is about to go to sea!
Standing at the front were Koshiro and Kiko, who was still holding a baby Guna.
For Koshiro, Lynch is a kind of respect from the heart, he is a qualified teacher, Lynch's swordsmanship, except for Dugu Jiujian, the other half is given by Koshiro. Of course, there are also their own swords "Izumi" and "Liu Heng".
As for Kiko, Lynch has a kind of respect like a mother, and this gentle woman made him feel at home for the first time in this world.
"Lynch, I know that this small Frost Moon Village can't accommodate you, but you must be careful after going to sea, the outside world is very complicated, especially in the Great Passage, many characters can't be dealt with by kendo alone." Koshiro instructed earnestly. It's not like a kendo powerhouse, but like a mother-in-law's mother's woman.
Kiko didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of worry. Only the little Guina in her arms was sleeping sweetly, and she didn't know anything.
"Master, don't worry, wait for the news that I have become a great swordsman, I won't embarrass you." Lynch clenched his fists and assured.
It's finally time to go to sea, I've been on this island for more than six years, and Lynch can't hold back his impulsive heart, only when he goes to the sea, can he really appreciate the excitement of the One Piece world, that's what Lynch wants.
...........
In the vast sea, a small boat is drifting in the waves.
"Alas! When will this come ashore? ”
A bored Lynch was moving back and forth in the small space of the boat.
It has been more than ten days at sea, and Lynch has also been floating on the sea for more than ten days, and he has not encountered an island or a ship in the middle.
Although I have long known that the sea in this world of One Piece is wide and unbounded, Lynch didn't expect it to be so pitiful!
Staying in a small boat every day and practicing swords alone, even a serious person like Lynch can't stand it.
The point is that Lynch doesn't know how to sail yet, and he can't even tell the difference between southeast and northwest on the sea, and he doesn't know when he can reach the next island, so he can only wander aimlessly on the sea.
What Lynch is looking forward to most now is to come across a boat so that he can have a good ride.
Otherwise, Lynch can't stand this boring life, Lynch has been reborn in this world without a mobile phone and no network for a long time, and now that there are no people, Lynch really can't stand it.
And since the boat that Lynch had prepared was a bit small, there was not much food in stock, which was depleted shortly after going to sea. Now that Lynch catches and eats every day, he feels like he is about to smell fishy.
Just when Lynch was feeling tormented, a black spot suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance.
"That's.... Boat! ”
Lynch looked at it for a moment and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was actually a large ship.
Unable to care more, Lynch picked up the oars and rowed quickly towards the big boat.
Not far from the big ship.
It is an old-fashioned wooden sailing ship, the ship is large, and it is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. On the deck of the ship, there are many big men who are constantly busy, carrying things.
On the second floor, a fierce-looking man with a scar on his face was commanding the men. And above his head, there was a pirate flag.
"Hey! What do you see is that? "One of the ship's crew found Lynch's boat.
"Huh? Is that a ship? It's so small! ”
"It can't be someone who was shipwrecked, right?"
"Look! It's coming our way! ”
"What's going on? Why don't you hurry up and get to work? At this moment, the scar-faced man walked down and asked loudly.
"Captain! There's a boat rowing towards us! ”
"Huh?" The scar-faced man looked down his hand and saw Lynch approaching.
And Lynch also saw the huge pirate flag on the ship at this time.
"It's a pirate ship? It seems that this luck can't be stopped, so I don't have to worry about it. Lynch thought happily, but his hands didn't stop.
And the people on this ship don't know that they have been targeted.
"It's a little ghost?"
"yes, going to sea at such a young age?"
"Humph! It doesn't matter what kind of imp he is, when he comes, he will directly take it and throw it into the cargo hold, and there is just a lack of coolies on the ship. The scar-faced man ordered.
"Yes! Captain! The pirates were immediately ordered.
Just as they finished speaking, a sudden shout came.
"Moonwalk!"
"Whoosh!"
A figure flashed, and Lynch stood on the bow of the ship.
Looking at the stunned crowd on the boat, Lynch smiled and said:
"Robbery! The men stand on the left, the women stand on the right, and the shemales stand in the middle. ”
