Soon Noah was covered in wounds, but fortunately his efforts paid off. After deeply experiencing the power characteristics of Ryuo, he finally mastered this high-end armament color technique. Koshiro was delighted when he saw cherry blossom-like patterns appearing on Noah's Armament Haki. Three days ago, Koshiro decided to pass on the Ryuo to Noah, but this technique is also difficult to learn in Wano Country. There aren't many ways to quickly comprehend things other than practicing slowly. The only way is to learn through wounds in high-intensity combat. And Noah lived up to everyone's expectations and actually learned it. His talent in swordsmanship is truly enviable. In fact, if Noah didn't learn from Koshiro, he would not be able to hold on any longer. It was not because he didn't have enough physical strength but because his control was declining. It is already difficult to perform Ryuo, and you also have to maintain a safe range of power to continuously perform Ryuo to let your opponent gain insight. If it weren't for the emphasis on control in Shimotsuki Kendo, Noah would have been seriously injured by mistake. The fight continued, and it began to rain two swordsmen continued to fight in the wind and rain.
After half a day, both of them were not in a good condition. Koshiro was exhausted and sweating profusely. Noah was chopped into a bloody man, and he couldn't hold on for long due to excessive blood loss. Then let’s use the flying slash to decide the outcome. Both sides stood still and drew their swords. The silver-moon-like slash and the scarlet-red slash began to clash, and the surface of the island was shattered to pieces by the sword lords' slashes. Sword Qi was flying wildly, and occasionally fragments of sword Qi would fly into the sea and cause huge waves. Robin then rowed the boat back a distance. In this confrontation, both sides entered a state of self-forgetfulness, fighting one sword after another, perhaps until they were exhausted. However, Noah's sword could not withstand it. In this kind of confrontation, even the Armament Haki could not bear all the damage from the sword. The sharp sword has already cracked and it is estimated that it cannot withstand the next blow. So the final sword will decide the winner. Koshiro sensed the determination to decide the winner, and followed the disciple's wishes to decide the outcome with one sword strike. The initial love for kendo, the high spirits after becoming a swordsman, the pain of seclusion for the family, the regret of not being able to go on, and the relief of seeing the successor. All of these were crushed into the frosty moon-like sword energy, which first expanded and then transformed the emotions into nutrients and extracted them into plain moonlight. This flying slash was his pinnacle sword move and also a reflection of his life. And Noah was also constantly stimulating his sword power and incorporating his heart into it. The innocence of just arriving in the pirate world, the two years of painful life wrapped in darkness, the burning tree of O'Hara, and all the injustices seen and heard in the world. Stuff all your dissatisfaction with the old world and your longing for the new world into it and burn it. A streak of red sword light appeared, and it was like a spark when it first appeared. After it touched Noah's mind, it quickly spread out until it formed a tremendous force. The domineering aura of the king also spread out and faintly entangled the sword energy, transforming the sword energy into a dragon shape.
The dark clouds in the sky also rolled in with the Overlord Color, and heavy rain poured down. Whenever the Dragon King travels, he is accompanied by wind, rain and thunder, as if he is dissatisfied with this old world. Swing your sword! Frost Moon and the red dragon fought each other. The encounter was silent, but a few seconds later, a loud bang resounded through the world. A powerful explosion occurred between the two people, and fierce wind pressure swept around, causing a storm around the island. After the storm subsided, Robin rowed a boat to the island and saw sword marks of various sizes all over the island. There were dozens of meters long cracks everywhere. When I walked to the center, I saw Koshiro and Noah lying on the ground, but fortunately they were both breathing. Koshiro had long lost his gentle and elegant appearance in Shimotsuki Village. His samurai clothes had turned into beggar's clothes, and even his glasses were broken and hung crookedly on the bridge of his nose. Noah was even worse off. When he was analyzing the power of Ryusakura in the early stage, his clothes were already chopped into pieces. In the subsequent fight with flying slashes, the shape of his clothes was basically invisible, and it could only be said that they could barely cover his body. Robin checked and found that Noah only had some external injuries that looked scary but were not serious, so he simply bandaged the wounds and waited to deal with them seriously when he got home. Fortunately, in addition to the first aid medicines, they also brought two sets of clothes before coming, otherwise Koshiro and Noah would have been killed. Especially Koshiro, if he returns to Shimotsuki Village in this outfit, Kenshin might collapse. After the two changed their clothes, they were pulled back to Shimotsuki Village by Robin. On the boat, Noah felt a little sad as he looked at the sharp sword with only the hilt left. Although it was not a famous sword, it had been with him for several years. What a pity. "Take it." Koshiro handed over the Wado Ichimonji. "Master, I can't take this." "Wado Ichimonji, a large sharp sword of twenty-one skills, was forged by one of my relatives. This sword has suffered a lot with me. As a famous sword, it longs to be held in the hands of a strong man to accomplish supreme feats on the vast ocean. I will continue to live in the East China Sea in the future, and I don’t want it to be buried on this small island.” Noah hesitated. "As a swordsman aiming to reach the pinnacle, how can I not have a famous sword? Compared to the great cause you are about to accomplish, isn't a big knife enough to carry on your shoulders?" "Yes, Master, I'll take it. I will definitely make Wado Ichimonji the supreme sword that will resound through the sea." Noah took the Wado Ichimonji and thought to himself that he must take the Shusui back and give it to his master in the future. Chapter 17 Heading to the Grand Line One night in the year 1507 of the Haiyuan calendar, Noah and Robin were packing their bags. This was their last night in Shimokatsuki Village. A large waterproof box containing manuscripts, serial novels, and manuscripts of revolutionary programs.
Noah also took time to memorize some books on economics and sociology, which he would use as references later. The situation on the Grand Line is more complicated and requires more knowledge points. Two small boxes for changing clothes. Nothing else. Everything is kept simple. Noah decided to customize a suitable small travel boat after entering the Grand Route. There will be more and more manuscripts in the future, and it will be really troublesome if I don’t have my own boat to store so many things. At this time, Tom, the shipwright of the Seven Water City, is still alive. He must ask this top shipwright to build a ship for him, and by the way, see if he can kidnap this shipwright. In the world of the sea, top shipbuilders can be of great use to the transportation industry. What's the big deal about staying in the Seven Water City to build pirate ships? If you have such a great ability, you should benefit all human beings and humanoid species in the ocean. Yes, in addition to humans, there are also fishmen, fur people, ghosts, dwarfs, giants and other races on the sea, all of which are partners that Noah wants to unite. After packing her luggage, Robin quietly began to clean the house. She did not use her fruit ability but cleaned the house bit by bit with her own hands. She was both looking forward to and resisting the Grand Line. She is carrying the mission of O'Hara's last historian to uncover the truth of the lost 100 years, so she must go to the Grand Line. But she couldn't bear to give up her current peaceful and harmonious life. She felt that she had let down the doctors who had placed their hopes in her, and that her will was so unsteady. Looking back at the somewhat excited Noah, he faced his own heart. Following Noah, she would not be afraid even if there was the abyss of death ahead. She must investigate that blank period of history and then tell every corner of the ocean that this is the true history. Before leaving, Noah looked at his dashboard. Constitution: 74 Power: 75 Speed: 70 skill: Shaving: Mastery 4% Lanjiao: 99% entry Conqueror Haki 16%~18% Kendo Master 25% Observation Haki Master Level 1% Armament Haki mastered 95% The duel with Master Koshiro was very rewarding, and my kendo skills took another step forward in the swordsman stage.
His observation Haki has also reached the master level. This level of strength can be considered as a great pirate level in the first half of the Grand Line, and it can be considered as having the ability to protect himself. The next day, Noah and Robin set out. We boarded a passenger ship to the Red Earth Continent, and then entered the first half of the Grand Line through the Red Earth Continent. Normally, there are three ways to travel from the four seas to the Grand Route. The first is to take the normal passenger channel to the Grand Line like Noah and his companions, that is, to enter through the route guarded by the navy. The second type is the calm belt. The calm belt is a very magical place. There is not a trace of wind in it, and giant sea kings lurk on the seabed. In the Age of Exploration when navigation was generally carried out by sailing, entering it would basically mean death. The third is the pirates’ secret route, the most famous of which is the Upside-Down Mountain Route. Why? Because the starting point of the Upside-Down Mountain Route is Rogue Town. The Pirate King Roger awakens the starting point of the Great Pirate Era and sets out from the starting point of everything to find Raftel, which is very symbolic for the pirates. After entering the Grand Line, we arrived at a very busy island. This is the first stop for normal merchant voyages so there are all kinds of people here. Next to it is the naval branch. Noah decided that the first stop would be Magnetic Drum Island. He had some questions he wanted to ask Dr. Kuleha. This immortal witch has great medical skills and I hope I can ask her for help. However, navigation on the Grand Line requires a permanent compass, and it would be troublesome if there were no passenger ships going directly to Magnetic Drum Island. Fortunately, I found out that several merchant ships had formed a fleet and were heading to the vicinity of Magnetic Drum Island in the next few days. Once we got there, we would find a way to get to Magnetic Drum Island. These merchant ships dared to cross so far because a naval warship was going to patrol that waters. Leading the team is Admiral Zephyr, who is known as the admiral who never kills. If it were any other naval commander’s warship, merchant ships would never dare to follow. For example, someone like Akainu, if he dared to follow up with a single strike, the Dark Dog ship would be destroyed and all on board would be killed. Admiral Zefa has a good reputation on the sea, and he wouldn't mind having merchant ships following him unless it was an emergency or secret mission. This time I am bringing the new recruits out to broaden their horizons, so I won’t care about other things. Following the ship of such a naval leader, I feel very safe. Noah also spent some money to catch the fleet so that he could go earlier and do his work earlier. There was no time to wait for the ship. Given Zefa's ability, it was possible that Noah would be discovered if he followed the fleet. Although it was somewhat dangerous to get so close to a former admiral of the navy, Zefa's sense of justice prevented him from making any excessive attempts. If it was after Zefa lost his arm, he would definitely stay away from him. Who knows how terrifying a former admiral who went to extremes could be. Noah got on the boat smoothly. He couldn't do much exercise on the boat and just meditated on sword Zen in the house. Write some books, go to the deck occasionally to get some fresh air, stay at home as little as possible, and try not to cause any trouble, but some things cannot be avoided.
Everything was going well after a week of sailing at sea, when suddenly the lookout on the ship sounded an alarm. I saw a pirate ship heading towards the merchant ship. It turned out that there were such stubborn pirates on the Grand Line. Without any investigation, they just watched a group of merchant ships rush over. Did you really not see the naval warships ahead? After boarding, the pirates drove all the crew members and guests onto the deck.
