Chapter 343: It’s better to find the clues as soon as possible
After hearing what Big Bear said, Koushiro sighed leisurely.
Koushiro didn't know much about Oden. After all, he was only about forty now, and when Oden was at his peak, he was still a child.
However, Shiro had heard many stories about Oden from his father Kozaburo.
Kozaburo admired Oden very much, otherwise he would not have devoted his whole life to building two powerful swords, Enma and Tian Yu Yu Zhan, for him.
At the same time, as an old man born and raised in the land of Wano, Kozaburo is somehow full of mysterious appreciation and respect for Oden's actions in his life.
In this regard, Koushiro and Kozaburo had disagreements more than once.
After all, Kozaburo secretly left the country of Wano with Shiro thirty years ago. The country of Wano did not have a great influence on Shiro. Shiro's outlook on life was closer to that of a normal Tokai person.
In particular, Shiro has the demeanor of a gentle and wise man, and his personality is very similar to that of Keya's father.
So, do you think someone like Shiro would have a good impression of Oden’s demeanor?
Burn the bones of your friends to cook oden, and eat big meals to commemorate your dead friends.
Sitting as the heir to the general, he dreamed of going to sea and becoming a pirate. In the end, he gave up the country and became a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
He has joined the Whitebeard Pirates and been appointed as the captain of the second division. In addition, Oden is also the only person in the Whitebeard Pirates who is regarded as a brother by Whitebeard. It can be seen that Whitebeard Newgate
Appreciation and cultivation of its people.
But he finally left Whitebeard, accepted Roger's invitation, and joined the Roger Pirates.
When the Roger Pirates disbanded, he did not return to the Whitebeard Pirates to repay Newgate's kindness.
On the contrary, after seeing Raff Drew, he no longer wanted to be a pirate, and finally abandoned Whitebeard and returned to his hometown.
No one knows why he returned to his hometown. Maybe he was really tired and wanted to return to his roots.
Or maybe, he really wants to take on the responsibilities he should bear and become a good general in the future of Wano...
In short, in Shiro's view, his various choices were the same as abandoning his partners before starting a business and returning home to inherit his family's billions of wealth...
After returning home, he found that his father was dead, his former servant had become a general, and the country was controlled by Kaido from behind.
As the shogun's son and legal heir, Oden not only failed to regain his position as shogun, but was also threatened, so much so that he pretended to be crazy and danced naked for seven years in the country of Wano...
Seven years later, Oden actually changed his mind again and decided to take back the position of shogun.
As a result, this time, he failed to defeat Kaido and regain his position due to various reasons.
If a person is persevering and fighting against repeated defeats, such a person is always worthy of respect.
But every time we fail, we fail because we are threatened or unable to make up our minds. Isn’t this a bit too much?
It is true that Oden failed twice, one was because he was threatened with the lives of many children, and the other was because he was distracted by the danger to the life of his son Momonosuke.
In the end, he chose to fail because of the lives of others.
But such a person can be regarded as a kind person at best. Can such a person be a qualified general?
He didn't know that every time he led his men to fight desperately, if he surrendered, who would pity the death of his men?
Especially after the second failure, Oden never took any effective action again.
He just stayed in prison waiting to die, until he was finally thrown into a frying pan by Kaido and fried alive...
Although his death is also legendary, he carried all his men in the oil pan to save them from being bombed.
But apart from that, logically speaking, with Oden's connections and strength, as long as he makes any right choice, he should not face his current fate...
In short, whenever Shiro heard Mr. Saburo talking about the story of the great general's palace...
Shiro always felt that there was something he was holding back in his heart that made him unhappy...
Obviously when I listen to the stories my father told me, I always feel like they are a fool's story...
But why does his father favor him so much?
Dad... I'm afraid he really has Alzheimer's disease.
Especially now, when Rayleigh also expresses some of his dissatisfaction with Oden to Koushiro...
Koushiro's last good impression of Oden also disappeared.
Because everyone knows that Roger's group is a very harmonious and loyal team. Just because Jabba was scolded by a noble of a certain kingdom, Roger led the pirate group to directly massacre that kingdom.
Be more loyal.
But even in such a team, Vice Captain Rayleigh was dissatisfied with Oden...
In short, Koushiro felt that his father kept talking about him before he died, and he also admired Oden-sama his whole life.
I'm afraid he's really not a person worth following...
…
Not to mention Koushiro's reverie about Oden, on the other hand.
Gawain directly carried Zoro all the way to the training ground of the dojo.
When they reached the training ground, Gawain casually put down the cursing Zoro, then he pulled out the Lu Minghu Tetsu and gently flicked the sharp blade.
"Hey, I have grown so fast, and the current Luminghu Che looks a bit short to me.
But it’s okay, it’s just right to use such a knife to teach you, a brat.”
After teasing with a smile, Gawain carried Lu Minghu Che and pointed the sword blade in Sauron's direction.
On the opposite side, looking at Gawain who was standing at attention with a knife, Sauron cursed and said.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Why do you suddenly want to teach me a lesson?
Aren't you a big shot? How come a big shot like you is more reckless than me, the brat you talk about?
Are you sure you are really the Celestial Dragon that the master and the village chief carefully welcomed?"
While making rude remarks, Zoro simply pulled out the word Wado Yimon.
Opposite Sauron, Gawain responded to him with a smile.
"Kid, how do you understand? Children are not the only ones who have the right to be willful.
In the real world, it is obvious that the higher the status and the greater the power, the more willful the person is."
Having said this, Gawain walked forward slowly with his sword in hand. As he walked, he continued to speak.
"Besides, kid, as swordsmen, aren't we supposed to use our swords at all times?
So why bother asking why?”
"you're right!"
The moment Gawain finished speaking, Sauron nodded quickly, and then excitedly bit Hedao Yiwen in his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, he crossed his hands and reached to his waist, holding the two swords given to him by the strange old man in his hands.
"The knife in your hand is also a sharp knife, right?
His name is Lu Minghu Che, right?
Although I don’t know why you are here, nor what kind of person you are!
But at this moment, please feel free to use your sword against me!
Celestial Dragon!!!"
At this moment, Sauron shouted excitedly to Gawain, and at the same time he stood upright the two knives in his hands in front of the one on his mouth!
Then, he yelled.
"Three Swordsman Style: Demon Slayer!!!"
The moment Zoro's voice fell, Gawain's eyes narrowed. Looking at Zoro's three-sword style posture in reality, it was actually a bit strange.
However, Zoro's three-sword style is actually a variant of the two-sword style most of the time.
The knife on his mouth is more used to block the enemy's escape route and does not participate in the attack.
However, a guy who can develop this way of using a sword...
It can only be said that his swordsmanship talent is quite impressive.
In addition to his swordsmanship talent, Sauron seems to have an even more powerful talent, and that is... speaking.
How the hell are you talking with your sword between your teeth?!!
And this is now, now he is just talking.
If it were changed to five years later, Zoro would still be writing poems with his sword between his teeth!!!
Gawain still can't forget Sauron's words from the future...nine mountains and eight seas, one world...
In short, it was said that it was too late and that was too soon. Although Gawain's mind kept wandering, his hands did not let go at all.
Facing Zoro's three-sword-style basic sword skill, Demon Slash, which has no future momentum at this time.
Gawain stood there with his sword in one hand, watching Sauron's sword path, and blocked it easily.
clang!!!
The sound of metal clashing sounded fiercely, and before Sauron could pull away and retreat, Gawain violently rotated the blade, causing Lu Ming Hu Te's blade to hit Sauron's left hand horizontally.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, Sauron's sword in his left hand fell to the ground in an instant. Looking at the sword jumping on the ground, Gawain frowned.
"Boring, at the age of sixteen you are not yet a qualified swordsman.
In other words, how could a qualified swordsman lose his sword?"
After the words fell, Gawain turned the sword again, and saw him holding the blade upside down and pressing forward hard. Sauron was immediately pushed back by Gawain's blade for more than dozens of steps!
As soon as he stood firm, Zoro immediately uttered the word "和道" and held this meaningful sword with his left hand.
Immediately afterwards, he grasped the sword with both hands and spoke with a far more excited expression than before.
"It's like taking a leisurely stroll, or in other words, it's as simple as picking up vegetables with chopsticks and defeating me!
What a strong swordsman, are you a swordsman?"
"Swordsman?"
After hearing Sauron's question, Gawain thought for a moment.
"I'm probably not a swordsman, after all, I rarely fight with a sword. I seem to be a little short of the so-called paper-cutting and iron-cutting swordsmanship realms.
But combat effectiveness is not only determined by realm, isn't it?
Just based on a series of basic factors such as speed, strength, eyesight, and reaction.
I think most swordsmen will not be my opponents.
And my enemy must at least be a great swordsman!"
After the words fell, Gawain raised his sword and turned it slightly, and the sword immediately returned to its original posture.
Then he held the sword in both hands and rushed towards the alert Zoro quickly with his feet!
Seeing Gawain rushing toward him, Sauron gritted his teeth and stood his swords in front of his chest.
The opponent is no ordinary miscellaneous fish. The impact of the eagle wave's airflow alone will never be enough to make him retreat. He must use his full strength to do so!
So, Sauron gritted his teeth and made a shape like rhinoceros horns with the two swords in his hands.
Then he sprinted quickly and shouted as loud as he could.
"Er-sword style·Rhino return!!!"
Sa!!!
The invisible air flow gathered on the blade of Sauron's sword, and Sauron charged with the sword, just like a rhinoceros that has gone away and never returned!
Looking at Sauron thrust forward, Gawain smiled and shook his head.
“A bold style is great, but a fancy name means nothing.
You...are a thrust after all...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain stabbed Lu Ming Hu Che's sword blade straight towards the tips of Sauron's two knives!
A moment later, the tip of Gawain's knife touched the tip of Sauron's knife!
Just when Sauron's body was shaken by the violent vibration and stopped for a moment, Gawain turned the sword in his hand.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Lu Ming Hu Che hit Zoro's right wrist hard, directly knocking the knife in his right hand to the ground!
Taking this opportunity, Gawain flew up and kicked Sauron upside down.
Seeing Sauron rolling and stopping, Gawain said softly.
"The sky in the East China Sea is too low for a swordsman to sharpen his sword, kid.
Your swordsmanship talent is something I have never seen before, but your time in the East China Sea has really ruined your swordsmanship!"
After the words fell, Gawain shook his head slightly. Sauron's sword was indeed delayed a lot in the East China Sea.
In the original plot of One Piece, Zoro met Luffy when he was nineteen. At that time, he had been out at sea for two years.
Although he had the title of pirate hunter at that time, in fact, he probably couldn't even defeat Aaron.
But since I met Luffy and then went all the way to the Grand Line and the New World.
Only two years later, the twenty-one-year-old Zoro had even killed Jhin off his horse.
How big is the gap between them?
It’s a world of difference!
It can be seen that the environment in the East China Sea is indeed too comfortable, and Sauron, who lacks a strong opponent, is really delayed too much by this sea!
On the side, Zoro climbed up from the ground with difficulty. Gawain's kick really made him feel ashamed!
He gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood, then held Hedao Yiwen with both hands and looked towards Gawain.
By chance, he saw the side of Gawain shaking his head!
Sauron immediately took Gawain's actions as Gawain's disdain for him, so Sauron gritted his teeth and yelled at Gawain viciously.
"Aren't you a swordsman? Why did you kick me away with your feet!
Is it because you don’t want your sword to be stained with the blood of a guy like me?
come!
Since it is a contest between swordsmen, let the sword in your hand speak for itself!
You who don’t want to leave scars for me, do you think I will shrink before life and death?
How could I let you look down upon me, bastard!!!"
After yelling, Zoro held Wado Yimonji in both hands and rushed towards the big tree near the training ground.
He rushed to the tree in two steps, then grabbed the branches and jumped into the sky.
Jumping all the way to a height of more than 20 meters, Sauron curled up with his sword in his hands and shouted angrily.
"One-sword style Tianlong!!!"
Accompanied by his unconcealable anger, the airflow condensed around him into the shape of a heavenly dragon, and brought him with him from the sky towards Gawain!
Across from him, Gawain narrowed his eyes in appreciation as he looked at Sauron's current moves.
Because this kind of move that comes from the sky is equivalent to giving up defense to anyone.
Although Zoro is not yet seventeen now, he has not even reached the time to go to sea.
Although his current swordsmanship is very inferior and he has not gained even half of the essence of Koushiro.
But with this indomitable momentum, Sauron today is no less powerful than he will be in the future!
Thinking of this, Gawain stretched out his left hand and grabbed Sauron's sword that fell from the sky.
Just when Sauron was staring at Gawain's hand holding the sword, he showed an extremely shocked expression.
Gawain held Lu Minghu Che in his right hand and stabbed Sauron's waist with a fierce sword!
Boom!!!
There was a muffled sound, Gawain used a lot of force with the sword, so that when the long sword completely penetrated Sauron, even Lu Ming Hu Che's gauntlet hit Sauron hard on the waist!
Zoro was about to be knocked upside down by this huge force!
But at this moment, Zoro suddenly held onto Wado Yimonji!
In order to better protect the sword in his hand, Sauron's grip on the sword was almost like holding the sword!
He was seen tightly hugging Wadao Yiwenji, who was being held by Gawain, and allowed the bones around his waist to be broken numerous times by Lu Ming Hu Te's gauntlet.
At the same time, blood spurted from his mouth and he stared hard into Gawain's eyes!
"I have already lost two swords, but this one must not be allowed!
