"How do you think you can be called a real powerhouse?" Koshiro asked Mojing.

Mo Jing thought for a moment: "Strong strength and tenacious heart? ”

"It's close." Koshiro laughed.

"For a long time, it was generally believed that in order to become strong, three factors must be met." He put up three fingers and put them down one by one, "Heart, body, technique!" ”

"Physical fitness and technique are well understood, good physical fitness and excellent skills, two are also the easiest to achieve, and even as long as you study hard, perseverance in exercise and practice, even people who have no talent can achieve something in these two."

Mo Jing suddenly thought of Bayeduo, he was the kind of person who was not very talented, and he only relied on his hard work day after day to reach the heights after that.

With the same time and the same training method, even if Mo Jing didn't have a soul to refine, it might only take one-tenth or even less time to learn his skills and achieve the same physical quality as him.

But the actual situation is that even though Mo Jing has surpassed Bei Yeduo's swordsmanship and physical fitness now, he is still a little short of Bei Yeduo back then.

Now it seems that it may be the gap in the "heart".

But what is the "heart"?

Materialist worldview, methodology? Or is it an idealistic state of mind, a will? Or is it instinct, emotion, or something more mysterious?

"The heart is who you are!" Koshiro picked up a glass of wine and gave the answer.

The sea breeze blows gently and the crystal wine ripples.

In Mo Jing's confused gaze, he took a sip and continued.

"The so-called heart is everything that makes you as a person, your ambitions, your ambitions, even your fears, your cowardice, any and everything that makes you as a person, is made up of the heart."

Mo Jing frowned, thoughtful.

As a time-traveler, the standard consumables produced by the nine-year compulsory education factory, he instinctively rejects this overly idealistic view, but has to admit its rationality in this world.

After all, the example is in front of him, there are Bayeduo in the distance, there are Hawkeye Mihawk and Koshiro in front of him, they are all people who surpass themselves in "heart".

It's not that he can't understand what Koshiro said, and people often say that what they want to become can be seen as a change of heart, and the same is true for changing a person.

If you regard life as a sword skill, the endless difficulties of life are the killer moves that continue to attack, every choice is the choice of the heart, every time you overcome a difficulty, the sword skill will become stronger, and life will be closer to success.

It's the same thing.

It's just that in the battle of life and death, how many people have the courage to give their choice to their hearts?

"The choice of the heart......" Mo Jing muttered to himself.

Koshiro nodded slightly, looked at the sea and sighed:

"So if the swordsman wants to become stronger, he will go to sea to challenge the strong, his heart is hazy, and he can only split the fog through the hands of the enemy, and between life and death, he can see his choice clearly!"

He looked at Mo Jing and said with a smile: "In my opinion, your sword is too regular, why be so rational? Why not try to indulge and dance to your heart's content? ”

Abandon your mind and dance with your heart?

Mo Jing only felt a moment of understanding, but it was still difficult to figure out through a layer of fog, but compared to the previous confusion, he seemed to have a new direction forward.

He stood up and respectfully bowed to his disciples: "Thank you for your advice!" ”

Koshiro laughed gently: "It's all basic things, and the little guys in the dojo are tired of listening to it." ”

Mo Jing smiled, just wanted to say something, but suddenly thought of something, and said with a strange face: "Wait, didn't you say yesterday that you haven't been to sea?" So how did you get so strong? ”

Koshiro's smile froze.

Mo Jinghu looked at him suspiciously: "You're not lying to me, are you?" ”

"Of course not!" Koshiro hurriedly waved his hand, "But my method is more special, you may not believe it when you say it, but it's just meditation!" ”

"Just meditating?"

"Just meditate!" Koshiro nodded firmly, "It's just that the degree of meditation is deeper, in my opinion, your 'way of water' is the result of the fusion of mind and technique, maybe you can use it as a guide to trace the direction of the heart in reverse." ”

Mo Jing nodded suspiciously.

This is already a relatively personal thing, and it would be rude to ask again.

Koshiro breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly filled himself with a cup and took a big sip.

There is such a thing as the heart, everyone's perception is different, where can he explain it in a few words, Mo Jing asks again, and he will show his feet.

"That's right!" Mo Jing's voice sounded again.

Ahem, ahem!

Koshiro squirted out a mouthful of wine, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and when he raised his head again, he smiled wryly.

"Don't worry, I don't ask you about your 'heart'!" Mo Jing said with a haha, at this distance, Koshiro's heartbeat couldn't hide it from him at all.

"I just wanted to ask, have you ever seen a technique that can harden your surface, increase your attack and defense, and also bring it to the sword to increase its damage?"

Since Karp will, his lieutenant Bogart will also, indicating that it should be a skill that can be learned, but unfortunately he has not met a guy who can be slaughtered and learned for the time being, which has always made him a little regretful.

Those who know this kind of skill are not weak!

As soon as Koshiro heard Mo Jing's description, he immediately understood what he wanted to ask, and the smile on his face gradually became meaningful.

"Is that what you're talking about?" His hand as he raised his glass suddenly appeared a pitch-black iron color.

Sunglasses clapped their hands: "That's right! ”

Sure enough, Koshiro will too.

Based on his observations and speculations in the past few days, he guessed that Koshiro should have mastered a relatively long and complete kendo inheritance in order to have such an extraordinary kendo understanding.

This is now even more evident.

"This technique, in my hometown, is called Ryu Sakura." The black in Koshiro's hand gradually flowed to the wine glass in his hand, and the glass was dyed black as iron.

"But in the outside world, there is a more commonly used name, called 'domineering'!"

"Tell me more!" Mo Jing filled him with wine.

But Koshiro suddenly shut up, like a hateful broken chapter dog, looked at him and smiled without saying a word, rubbing his fingers - you have to pay the money!

Mo Jing twitched the corner of her mouth.

Sure enough, the incisions with glasses are all black!

Didn't he just tease the other party a little?

The two of them talked late, and by the time Mo Jing left the hillside, it was already completely dark.

Next to the Frost Moon Dojo is a small village called Frost Moon Village, where Mo Jing rented a small house and paid his rent with fish every day, and has lived there for two days.

In fact, he doesn't have to be so troublesome at all, if he wants to sleep, he can directly incarnate into a fish-man form, and just lie down under the water, but he is still more accustomed to this feeling of being with people.

Along the path, he walked alone towards Frostmoon Village.

The night was quiet, with the occasional sound of insects.

Shortly after he left, behind a large tree on the side of the road, a man in a black suit and a black hat quietly stuck his head out and looked in the direction he had left.

"What are you looking at?" A curious voice came from behind him.

The man in black was instantly devastated, and as soon as he turned his head, he was pinned by the neck on a tree.

Under the moonlight, Mo Jing was still the same costume in the dojo, and there was even a faint smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to devour people's souls like a dark ocean.

"Three sentences, convince me not to kill you!" He stared at the trembling pupils of the man in black.

However, the man in black knew men better than him, and it only took three words to let Mo Jing let him go.

"Auction...... Good fast knife ...... Treasure Tree 'Adam'! ”

Mo Jing let go of his hand, and the man in the suit knelt on the ground and coughed violently.

"As far as I know, the Treasure Auction House seems to be gone." Mo Jing looked down at him.

The man hurriedly got up from the ground, and while arranging his clothes, he sneered: "But the auction can't be stopped!" ”

He cleared his throat and briefly explained the situation to Mo Jing.

It turns out that every auction is a black market event, and those rich and nobles who secretly come to the auction will bring a huge amount of income to the black market, so even if the rare auction hall is gone, the auction must be held normally!

And now the replacement of the Treasure Auction is the previous defeat of the Don Quixote family of competitors, after they took over the task of the auction, they flipped through the business records of the past Treasure Auction, and found the demand for's past Mojing, and immediately smelled a huge amount of profit from it, this auction is their debut on Tortuga Island, how can a big customer like Mojing not be missed, so they specially spent a lot of money to buy his news and found here.

"Hey, can you get what I want?" Mo Jing asked with interest.

Especially good knives.

He had had enough of the broken knives refined by those inferior souls, and in the past few days he had been hunted down, he had fantasized about whether he would reach the level of a supreme fast knife if he slaughtered and refined Karp into a knife.

But when he thought of meeting Ace in the future, he excitedly raised his knife and introduced him: "Look, this is your grandfather!" I feel like I'm not too perverted, I'm afraid the boat of friendship will break on the spot!

So if he can really get a good and fast knife, and it's a straight knife, even if he disrupts the current plan, he will definitely go.

Otherwise, he had already borrowed the phone from the dojo yesterday to communicate with Ah Jin, and asked him to take the others to Rogue Town to replenish supplies, and as soon as he arrived tomorrow, Yang Fan would immediately go to the Great Voyage.

The smile on the face of the man in black was a little reluctant: "Baoshu 'Adam' is a consignment item on the black market, and there is only a certain share of each auction, and no matter what, you can't get more!" ”

"Where's the good knife?"

"Well, we do have a good knife in our possession, but if it's straight, it's ......" He looked at Mo Jing cautiously, smiling a little embarrassed.

Not to mention the good fast knife, the straight knife in the fast knife is pitiful, compared to the curved scimitar, the straight knife is more suitable for stabbing than for chopping, and is not loved by swordsmen.

Mo Jing looked at him in amazement: "Nothing, then you still come to me?" ”

Is this the opening of a new store, come to him to chat and have a celebration?

Aren't you afraid to get off to a good start?

"We think you might need something else!" Hearing this, the man in black hurriedly said.

He took out a list from the inner pocket of his suit, opened it, and handed it to Mo Jing.

Mo Jing glanced at the person in charge who lacked eyes, and took the list - the big night, let him read the list, and he did it.

What's even worse is that he can really see it clearly now.

Mo Jing looked at it from one side to another, and the auctions on the list were all rare treasures from all over the world, many of which he had never heard of in the past, but none of them could arouse his interest.

It wasn't until he saw one of the names that his gaze stopped.

"Artificial Devil Fruits?" He looked at the man in black in shock, "Devil fruits can still be artificial?" ”

"Of course!" As soon as the man in black saw that there was something that could impress Mo Jing, he immediately gave him a brief science popularization of artificial devil fruits - only animal ones, and there was a certain chance of failure.

Have a chance of failure?

Mo Jing smiled lightly, and did not debunk him, if there was only a certain chance of failure, the starting price would not be only 800w Bailey.

It seems that this artificial devil fruit should have other side effects and have a low chance of success.

However, Mo Jing didn't care about this, anyway, even if he got it, he wouldn't use it on his own people.

What he was really curious about was whether the artificial Devil Fruit could have an amplifying effect on "Soul Refining" like a real Devil Fruit!

If he could, then he probably found a replacement for the Devil Fruit.

Gotta try the whole one!

He continued to look down, there are a lot of good things on this list, it seems that for this debut, this auction house has indeed invested a lot of money, but there is no one who can impress him.

Glancing at the man in black with an expectant face, Mo Jing returned the list to him.

"If nothing else, I should be there as scheduled."

"That's great!" The man in black said happily.

"See you next time!"

Mo Jing turned around and was about to leave, when he was suddenly stopped by the other party:

"Wait!"

Under Mo Jing's puzzled gaze, the man in black hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said in a low voice: "For the sake of the customer, the following is my personal reminder." ”

Mo Jing turned to look at him: "Say." ”

"Recently, it seems that there are a lot of unwilling guys who are trying to find out about you!" Humane in black.

Unwilling guys?

The corners of Mo Jing's mouth were hooked, and he was not surprised that there were many people who inquired about him, after all, he was now a little famous in the East China Sea, but the only one who could be called an "unwilling guy" by the man in black was probably the former and current rivals, the Don Quixote family.

In this regard, he said that he was looking forward to it. The quality of G and De Linger's souls is very good, far surpassing the crooked melons and cracked dates in the East China Sea, and next time he can pat his chest and say to others that he can reach today's height, all thanks to the cadres of the Don Quixote family!

However, the next sentence of the man in black made the smile on the corner of Mo Jing's mouth gradually disappear.

"They seem to be collecting news from the ghost man Ah Jin."

Silence strikes,

In the unbearable silence, even the surrounding insect sounds disappeared, and the man in black lowered his head, only to feel an inexplicable pressure on him, making him dare not look at Mo Jing.

"Thank you for the news, what do you call it?" A moment later, Mo Jing's voice came out.

The pressure on the man in black was swept away.

"Trait!" He hurriedly said.

"Very good, see you at the auction!" Mo Jing's voice came from a distance.

Trait hurriedly raised his head and looked in the direction of the Frost Moon Dojo, but there was no longer Mo Jing's figure on the path.

"See you then!" He shouted and hurried to Frost Moon Village, until he returned to the merchant ship, when he breathed a sigh of relief and dialed the phone bug in the room.

Blu Blu Blu ~

“……”

The phone was answered, but no one said.

"Doflamingo, you damn bastard, I've told that guy what you said!" Cutter gritted his teeth.

Doflamingo's trademark laughter gradually came from the earpiece: "Boom~ Rest assured, the old accounts between you and the Don Quixote family have been settled, and there may be opportunities to cooperate in the future!" ”

"Hopefully you'll keep your promise!"

The phone bug hangs up.

In the dark cabin, Driter breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa.
