Pirate's Rescue

Logan stayed in Shanks’ hometown for half a year. In the past six months, Logan and Shanks have been living and eating together, and their relationship has become closer and closer. Shanks’ kendo is also considered a beginner, at least it can be considered as a model. Kind of.

"Uncle, who did you learn kendo from?"

After finishing the morning training, Shanks lay beside Logan, looking at the distant sea and asked.

"No one taught me. I practiced it myself. I just learned the fighting skills and domineering skills from my teacher. My other abilities have been explored by myself."

Logan said with a smile.

"Uncle, is the great swordsman the pinnacle of kendo?"

"No, this is based on personal qualifications. Some people are the pinnacle of Jianhao, and some people can’t even do it, so it’s the pinnacle for some people, but for others. It may be just the beginning. Therefore, kendo has no peak. What we do is to cross one peak after another and walk in front of others."

Logan said with a smile.

"Uncle, what is the highest state of kendo?"

Shanks asked curiously.

"Is it the highest state of kendo? I don't know what other people think. In my opinion, there is no self and no sword, two things are forgotten, no sword in my hand, sword in my heart, everything can be a sword."

Logan was talking about the kendo state of his previous life.

"Um, what do you mean, uncle? Why don't I understand?"

The concepts of the two worlds were different, and Shanks was confused and could not touch the doorway at all.

"Simply put, a sword is a sword, a man is a sword, and plants and trees are a sword. Anything can be a sword, even if you don't have a sword in your hand, as long as you have a sword in your heart, everything can be a sword."

Logan thought about the novels he had read in his previous life, and he generally remembered that he said that. Anyway, he couldn't do it, he should have insufficient talent.

"Uncle, can you do it?"

Hearing Logan's explanation, Shanks' eyes lit up, which he had never heard before.

"Me? It should be considered a bit of fur."

Logan thought for a while and said that after the Battle of Lophis Island, he had a small breakthrough in kendo. Grass and trees could barely be done as a sword, but everything could not be done as a sword.

"Uncle, can you show it to me?"

Shanks asked excitedly.

"Do you want to see it? Okay, I can only do it once, you pay attention to it."

Logan thought for a while, and a branch appeared in his hand, and decided to demonstrate to Shanks.

"Attention, the most important thing for a swordsman is momentum. A powerful swordsman can defeat the enemy by relying solely on sword force."

After speaking, Luo Gen calmed down and looked ahead, his hand was in a sword-drawing style. After a pause of two breaths, Luo Gen suddenly moved and he quickly cut out the branch in his right hand.

"Break through the air!"

"Snapped!"

The branches were shattered, unable to withstand Luo Gen's sword moves.

"Hey, it still doesn't work. I can only forcefully issue a slash, and I'm still a little weak in grasping the momentum."

Logan sighed as he looked at the branch left.

It's just that Shanks was stunned. He didn't notice what Logan said, and stared blankly at the sea split in half in the distance, while the town under the mountain was not affected at all.

"Too, too, too powerful, uncle, you are too powerful, you can do this with only branches, uncle, you are the most powerful person in kendo I have ever seen."

Shanks was trembling with excitement. Although he had never seen a few kendo masters, Shanks felt that Logan must be the most powerful kendo master of the kind.

"I am nothing. A true kendo master can use a branch as a sword to fight, and the branch will not be damaged, but I can only issue a slash, and the branch is destroyed, away from the so-called kendo master. It's still far away."

Logan shook his head and threw away the remaining branch in his hand.

"Uncle, when can I achieve your level?"

Shanks asked impatiently.

"This level is not arbitrarily attainable. Swordsmanship requires enlightenment at this level. To reach that level, you cannot achieve that level by "training." The best way to feel is to understand it from the battle of life and death."

Logan said with a smile.

"It sounds troublesome."

Shanks said bitterly.

"Do you know what kind of person is most suitable for Kendo?"

Logan asked.

"do not know."

Shanks shook his head.

"Pure souls are most suitable for sword practice, because this kind of people can put all their minds on the sword, without distracting thoughts, fascinated by the sword, the sword does not leave the body, establish contact with the sword at any time, and treat the sword with the thinking of the sword. I can practice swords to a deeper level."

Logan explained that, like Sauron, all his mind is on the sword, and the sword never leaves the body.

"Is it this way?"

Shankstowe chin meditated.

"If you want to practice the sword well, you must first find your own swordsmanship, whether it is the guardian sword or the killing sword, otherwise you can't find the direction."

Logan said with a smile.

"Uncle, what is the difference between the sword of protection and the sword of killing?"

Shanks didn't know why.

"As the name suggests, the guardian sword is the sword that protects what you want to protect and cuts off what you want to cut, while the killing sword is born to kill and cut everything. In my opinion, the killing sword is not the strongest. The guardian sword is the strongest."

Logan explained.

"Uncle, I have decided, I will practice the sword of protection, and then protect all my cherished partners, including uncle."

Shanks meditated for a while and said excitedly.

"Hahaha, right? I'll rely on you from now on."

Logan laughed.

"Well, I will go to sea in the future, and there will definitely be many partners. I want to become the strongest and protect my partner."

At this time, Shanks' eyes were shining, and he found his direction, and the domineering of future generations had begun to take shape.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the day when you become the strongest. Okay, let's get ready to eat first, go to Shanks, and head back."

"Okay, uncle, wait for me, you'll be fine soon."

Shanks jumped up and rushed into the woods, and the animals in the woods were about to face disaster again.

For the next two days, Shanks' training turned into a battle, against Logan's clone, using branches and Shanks with swords.

The clone kept attacking Shanks’ loopholes and helping Shanks to correct the problem, while Shanks eagerly absorbed Logan’s experience, the level of kendo continued to improve, and he already had his own prototype.

"Yes, Shanks, you have made great progress recently. It seems that you have found your own way. Maybe you will become a master of kendo in the future."

Logan knew that Shanks would definitely be a kendo master in the future, and a man who could fight against the world’s number one kendo master. Can kendo be worse? What's more, Whitebeard’s evaluation of the battle between Shanks and Hawkeye is "just like the battle of yesterday." It’s just as impressive."

Logan is looking forward to the encounter between Shanks and Mihawk.
