Hospitals in Frostmoon Village

The sleepy Zoro occupied the only hospital bed here, while Coase was receiving bandage treatment.

The injury on his left hand was much lighter than expected. He was cut in half, and he did not touch the bones or the main blood vessels, so he just sewed a few stitches and disinfected them and bandaged them.

After the doctor handled Cox's wound and left, Koshiro, who had been sitting aside, pointed at Cox's hand and said slowly: "What's wrong with your injury?"

"this?"

Cox raised his hand in confusion, and then said with a strange smile,

"A person will be injured if he is chopped. Do you don't understand such a simple truth?"

"Haha, it seems that's true."

Koshiro grinned and shook his head and smiled, then suddenly said seriously,

"You shouldn't be able to deal with those minions, right? Why did you pause at that time?"

"this……"

Coase was silent for a while, and then said unconsciously,

"When I swung the knife and hit the pirate, I felt uncomfortable instinctively, so I was stunned for a moment."

"Oh, that's it."

On the surface, Koshiro just nodded in a plain tone, but after hearing the reason why Cox paused, his mouth slightly raised an angle of upwards, but because he always had a smile on his face, Cox didn't notice it.

"That's normal. The way I taught you to hold the sword will be like this. After you hold the sword like that, you will no longer be able to shift the responsibility for killing to the sword, because you are one with the weapon in your hand."

"So that's the case, I thought it was my own problem."

Coise breathed a sigh of relief.

But Koshiro smiled and shook his head and said, "No, strictly speaking, this situation is indeed your own problem. Everyone will have different reactions after experiencing that feeling. Some people will directly throw away the weapons in their hands; some people will directly enter an excited state because of this. But both reactions are too extreme. The former is better, but it is not suitable for holding a sword; the latter is worse, so they should not touch the sword."

"What's going on with me?"

Coase asked with curiosity and expectation.

"not bad."

Koshiro gave such a brief comment with a smile.

"Not bad? That's OK, at least not the worst."

Coase nodded contentedly. He didn't pursue any talent, as long as he was not the best qualification.

Suddenly, Koshiro said as if he suddenly remembered something: "No matter what, your last move is really good."

This time Coas was confused. He didn't remember any decent moves he had used.

"What move?"

"It's the trick of throwing the kettle out, even in my opinion, can be called a clever move."

Koshiro gestured and made the move that Cox closed his eyes and then stepped back and threw it out of the kettle.

"Hey! What kind of move is that? Isn't it just a despicable trick?"

Zoro, who was lying on the bed, stood up and said disdainfully.

"You can't say that!"

Koshiro tapped Zoro's head and said,

"The difference between you and that pirate has a very small strength. If you want to be despicable, he will bully the small first, right?"

Zoro said a little aggrievedly: "Didn't you ask us to take action?"

“Haha, too.”

Koshiro smiled a little awkwardly, and stopped after a while.

"Anyway, remember that a truly absolutely fair battle in this world does not exist, and the definition of being humble or not is despicable also varies from person to person."

"Anyway, the scars behind me and the wielding swords to those who are back to myself are shameful for swordsmen."

Zoro turned around in discontent, not a childish attitude but his insistence on his own principles.

Koshiro looked at Zoro's back and shook his head and said, "I didn't teach you to sneak attack others, but you have to remember that even if you don't run away, you may be left with scars from behind. Not everyone pursues facing strong enemies and defeating them like you. When you move towards your own goal, you will definitely meet people who do whatever you want. If you are not smart, you will be deceived."

After Koshiro finished speaking, Zoro turned around and lowered his head as if he had admitted his mistake.

"knew."

At first, Coase was a little surprised that Zoro was so well-behaved, but it was normal to think about it for a moment. Now Zoro is not the pirate hunter in the future, but is just a 14 or 15-year-old boy, and it has not yet been out of rebellion. It is normal to show this expression in front of his master Koshiro.

But after a while, Zoro raised his head and said stubbornly: "But I will never admit that throwing drugs is a move! That kettle is not even a weapon, and it is simply a waste of time to fight. Not every time he will successfully knock down his opponent."

"No, no, no, you are attached to appearance!"

Koshiro tapped Zoro's head lightly and said,

"What do you think is the 'sword'?"

This meaningful question made Zoro lower his head and think for a while, and then raised his head and looked full of determination.

"'Sword' is the life path I decided for myself, and it is also the agreement between me and her."

Koshiro nodded silently at first, then said: "You are right, but this is the meaning you personally give to the 'sword'. Putting aside these subjective ideas, the 'sword' is just a weapon and a tool to defeat the enemy. So as long as it can be used to win, it can be called a 'sword', right?"

"Uh... there seems to be nothing wrong."

Zoro was completely confused by Koshiro's words.

Cos felt that Koshiro's words were a bit of a sophistry about "a white horse is not a horse". When he heard it, he didn't know what was right. When he thought about it carefully, he felt it made sense. When he thought about it, he began to feel a little strange again.

So Cos said half-expressed and half-doubtedly: "It seems that there is a saying in my hometown that 'vegetable, trees, bamboo and stone can be used as swords', but that is a state that can only be reached after the swordsmanship is very high. Isn't that a little too early for us?"

"Of course, even I can't use everything around me as a sword. I just want to warn you not to be too rigid in everything, but to be good at adapting."

After saying that, Koshiro patted Zoro on the shoulder and said earnestly,

"When you were a child, you could still use your mouth to bite the sword to achieve the wonderful idea of ​​the Three Swords. Why can't you understand it now?"

Zoro frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he spoke, "Master, I've realized it."

At the same time, Cos also realized, but what he realized was why "God's Blade" such as "Famous Knife Nodullain" appeared, which was far above the supreme fast sword.
