The Pirate King of the East China Sea

Chapter 53 The Unremarkable Old Man

Xi Ge was collecting the spoils while paying attention to the direction of the main hall.

He was waiting for Koshiro to show up.

However, Xi Ge was disappointed. After a while, Zoro was so tired that he couldn't even stand still, but Koshiro still didn't show up.

Not only Koshiro, Kuina did not appear either.

"No...it's not fair, you must have learned some movement skills!" Sauron tried his best to support himself not to fall, but it was impossible to attack again in a short time.

He has reached the limit, and being able to stand here is all supported by willpower.

"You bastard, after I learn swordsmanship from my master, I can split you with one sword!" Sauron said through gritted teeth.

Lu Fei grinned, trying to imitate the way he remembered: "You mean to say that I bully you with my body."

Xi Ge on the side was slightly taken aback, always feeling that this scene seems very familiar.

"Isn't it! You guys who can only use your body to dodge, you have the kind of strength that we can compete with men when I rest!" Sauron did not give in.

It's becoming more and more familiar, not only the scene, but even the dialogue seems to have been heard somewhere.

Luffy raised his finger and pointed at Zoro: "In other words, when you learn swordsmanship, you have to wait for me to be the same age as you, so it's only fair."

After Lu Fei finished speaking, he was also taken aback, and turned to look at Nami: "Nami, do the math for me. In a few years, I will be as old as him?"

Nami raised her forehead with one hand: "Idiot, you will never be as old as him."

The wooden sword in Sauron's hand had fallen to the ground, and he looked at Luffy blankly, he already knew what Luffy wanted to express.

Regardless of that, Luffy said while thinking back: "Weak people are always weak, and they will only make excuses for their own weakness."

Xi Ge smiled bitterly, he finally knew why it felt familiar.

Isn't this the scene when he beat Luffy in the Windmill Village back then? Unexpectedly, this kid is learning and selling, and turned around to teach Sauron the same way he taught him.

"Captain, where did Luffy learn these loud and deceitful words, I feel like he is a little magic stick, hahahaha!" Tom smiled and his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was as small as a mosquito.

Because Xi Ge was looking at him with dangerous eyes: "I learned it from me, what, do you have any opinions?"

Tom quickly covered his mouth and shook his head frantically.

He doesn't want to compete with Luffy for the title of 'Human Sandbag'.

After Luffy finished speaking, it seemed that he was still not satisfied, and turned to face a tree in the dojo.

"Rubber Pistol!"

He punched the tree as thick as Nami's waist.

'Crack! '

Silence!

Immediately there was a clatter.

"His arms stretched out, is he human!"

"That's...that's the power of the devil fruit, he is a devil fruit capable user!"

"Compared to the extension of the arms, shouldn't you care more about strength! That little guy is only about ten years old at most, and the strength is so terrifying, so a tree was broken with one punch!"

……

Sauron opened his mouth wide and looked at everything in front of him, feeling an infinite sense of frustration in his heart.

'puff'

Sauron's last bit of strength was also exhausted, and he sat slumped on the ground.

He lost to Kuina so many times without feeling frustrated, because he kept comforting himself because the opponent was two years older than him.

But now, this guy who is younger than himself.

Even if you can comfort yourself: he has learned body skills, but I haven't learned swordsmanship; or: he has devil fruits, but I don't have them.

But even if all these were put aside, the opponent had such terrifying power, how could he be an opponent!
"The weak are always weak, and they only make excuses for their own weakness... Is that so..." Zoro repeated in a low voice what Luffy had just said: "I'm always making excuses for myself, that's why I'm always making excuses. lose."

Every time he loses to Kuina, he will find excuses in his heart instead of trying his best to win the battle this time!

There can be a next time in the sparring, but what about the life-and-death duel?
Lose once and die!

"well said!"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded.

Obviously the voice was very soft, but it resounded in everyone's ears.

In the next moment, an old man with a hunched back appeared in front of Sauron.

The seemingly ordinary old man in the village made Xi Ge's hair stand on end.

He didn't realize how the other party appeared at all, it seemed that he was standing there!
The old man looked down at Sauron who was collapsed on the ground: "As this little baby said, it is only the weak who make excuses for their failures. When fighting, you can't have any distracting thoughts. You can only go forward bravely and give up everything. , in order to display its true strength.”

After finishing speaking, the old man slowly turned around and looked at Xi Ge.

"Is this little guy your master's apprentice? It's really amazing. He's so powerful at such a young age."

"Moreover, it's not the result of forced training by consuming talent and potential."

It's not that he hasn't seen a stronger kid at this age, but the strength of those little guys is all obtained through cruel training.

That kind of training may make you far stronger than your peers in the early stage, but it will damage your potential after all, and you won't go far at all.

But Luffy is different, he can see that Luffy's strength is completely cultivated within the range that his body can bear.

The shock in the depths of Xi Ge's eyes has not yet disappeared, and he seems to know who the other party is.

When Sauron was young, an old man in Frost Moon Village gave him a slogan: Give up your name and be wise!
The explanation of giving up the name and wisdom is very simple. The so-called giving up the name means not caring about the body, and giving up the wisdom means emptying the mind.
Coupled with the scene in front of him and what the old man said to Sauron just now, everything became clear.

The only thing that cannot be known is whether the other party is the legendary Kozaburo, or someone else
After all, when Kosaburo escaped from Wano Country for more than 40 years, he could not be the only one, there must be other warriors from the Shimotsuki family.

"He's just my worst disciple." Although Xi Ge was afraid of the other party, he still had to pretend that he should be forced, and he must not be cowardly.

What's more, he is not completely pretending.

Hearing Xi Ge's words, even this mysterious and powerful old man showed a look of astonishment on his face, and subconsciously looked at Luffy.

What shocked him even more was that Luffy took it for granted, clearly approving Xi Ge's words.

Needless to say, Ace, even before he got the burning fruit, Luffy was not his opponent.

As for Sabo, it's really hard to say who is strong and who is weak now, but Luffy always thinks that he is not as good as his two brothers.

Seeing the shocked look on the old man's face, Xi Ge only felt refreshed.

"Your Excellency, it's really hidden!" The old man couldn't help but admire.

Xi Ge glanced in the direction of the main hall, but Koshiro still didn't show up.

"Are you here to find Koshiro this time?" The old man was keenly aware of Xi Ge's intentions: "If that's the case, I'm afraid your Excellency will have to make this trip in vain. Koshiro has gone to sea, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a short time."

Going to sea?

Xi Ge was taken aback, this plot is wrong.

Calculating the time, Kuina should be dying soon.

And Koshiro went to sea at this time... Wait!Could it be that he took Gu Yuena to sea together!
