After hearing Gawain's words, Sauron pursed his lips and put the three swords back into their scabbards.
Then, he was naked and put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said.
"I don't have any objection, anyway, I will go to sea early next year.
Although I have lived in the dojo for six or seven years, this is not my home after all, and my master is not my father, so I have no reason to stay.
As for getting on your ship... it's actually a good choice. You're not a pirate anyway, and you seem to be a big shot?"
Having said this, Sauron asked Gawain while tying the turban on his head.
"Uncle, what kind of big shot are you, and what does Tianlong mean?
When I grew up, did I only hear the name Celestial Dragon after I met you?
Are you a noble, or just a rich person?
But that has nothing to do with me. You are a very nice person and very strong. There are many strong people on the ship who can help me continue to improve.
In short, apart from the fact that your boat is too big and it’s a bit easy to get lost, I can’t seem to find any reason not to follow you.”
Having said this, Sauron slapped his scabbard, and then nodded heavily to Gawain.
"So, what should I call you now? Should I call you Captain?"
"Just call me uncle, kid."
Gawain said with a smile, beckoning Sauron to follow him, and just like that, the two of them walked towards the pier of Frost Moon Village, one behind the other.
While walking, Gawain found it interesting that Sauron got on the ship so easily.
But thinking about it, he actually went to sea on time when he was seventeen years old and became a pirate hunter.
As long as you don't join the pirates or do bad things, there's nothing unreasonable about joining the Black Bird, right?
While Gawain was thinking, he continued to speak.
"You should have noticed in the past few days that there are no special rules on my ship. As long as you don't betray me, I can tolerate each of you in my own way.
As for the title, it doesn't matter whether the occasion is important or not, you can call it whatever you like.
I don't need to use the names my own people call me to improve my status and authority in the eyes of others. We can take back the respect of outsiders with fists, swords and guns."
"ha!"
Hearing Gawain's words, Sauron smiled and nodded.
"Then I understand, uncle, it seems I didn't make the wrong decision.
This kind of atmosphere is very good. It sounds more relaxed than the dojo. I am even looking forward to it.
By the way, now that I'm on board, then...
Can I continue to challenge you?"
"certainly."
Gawain nodded briefly at first, then shook his head.
"But I suggest you start the challenge with young people first. When you defeat Ace and others, you will defeat Lucci and others.
Until then, you will barely have the qualifications to challenge me and the cadres."
After the words fell, Gawain patted Sauron on the shoulder, then raised his hand and made a move to the cadres waiting near the dock.
"I don't need to say more, you probably all know that this kid has already joined us.
Mr. Zefa, it seems that you have one more child to take care of, haha."
"A piece of cake!"
Zefa shook his head with a cold face, and then clenched his mechanical fist.
Passing the Sea Tower Stone's fist in the direction of Sauron, Zefa said sternly to Sauron.
"Hey kid, enjoy your last free life!
In the days to come, I will train you in the devil's way!
You have no right to be absent or lazy, nor do you have the right to be willful or refuse, do you hear me?"
"heard it!!!"
At this moment, Zoro was not only not worried, but his eyes widened with excitement.
Because of their interactions in the past few days, Sauron already knows the meaning of the name Zefa!
He is the teacher of three current admirals and is also the teacher of 80% of rear admirals and lieutenant generals in the navy!
If you have such an instructor to supervise your training, you will no longer have to worry about the future!
As for whether the training is hard, haha, how could Sauron take those things seriously.
Growing up, Zoro has been a complete training fiend, and training will only make him happy!
On the side, looking at the burning fire in Sauron's eyes, Zefa rarely showed a happy smile.
While laughing, he said to Gawain.
"Captain, this guy looks good and energetic!
These brats on our boat, especially the boys, huh!
Those guys are lazier than the last!
Ace only likes to develop fruit abilities, Sanji only likes cooking and refuses to fight and train with his hands, and Usopp is a bastard who cries about training, which doesn't give me any peace of mind!
I thought that my male disciples were destined to be like this, but on the contrary, each of my female disciples was more determined than the last.
Nami and Nokigao both took the initiative to train themselves after work. Iska was a training madman and had to train for at least sixteen hours a day. The two brats Viviuta also started pre-school training recently.
Robin even spent most of his time on the training ground besides reading.
Looking at these girls, I feel ashamed of the boys under my command!
But now it’s better, haha, the brat Sauron’s spirit is finally able to give the young men on our ship a shout-out!”
After the words fell, Zefa laughed and grabbed Sauron's shoulders, so that he didn't even have the time to refuse, and took him across the sea all the way to the training ground of the Black Bird.
After landing, Zefa pointed directly at his feet and said.
"Kid, this is the first lesson I want to teach you, Yuebu!
Come on, start running, don’t stop until I tell you to stop!!!”
…
Not to mention Mr. Zefa, who was excited because he finally had a normal male disciple, on the pier...
Seeing the disciple who was just taken away by Zefa, even with Koushiro's self-cultivation, he finally widened his eyes a little.
Not far away from him, Big Bear thought for a moment and then spoke softly.
"Shiro, this disciple of yours is actually raised as a son, right?"
On the side, after hearing Da Xiong's words, Koushiro took a deep breath, and then shook his head in relief.
"Even if he is a real son, as a father, I should not stop his determination to go to sea. How can he be a man if he doesn't travel all over the world?
What's more, he is just my disciple after all, so I have no reason to stop him."
After finishing his words, Koushiro touched his arms a little and took off a necklace.
Immediately afterwards, Koushiro took out another book from his arms.
Holding the pendant and book, Koushiro thought over and over again, and finally came to the vicinity of Smoker and Daschi.
After smiling and nodding at the two of them, Koushiro stood in front of Daschi and sighed.
"Dasqi, maybe you don't know that you and my dead daughter...are almost 100% similar.
Looking at you, I can't help but want to give these things to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Koushiro didn't give Taschi a chance to refuse. He directly pressed the thing into Taschi's hand!
Seeing Taschi blushing and wanting to refuse, Koushiro shook his head and stressed.
"The elders gave it to me, so I can't refuse it, not to mention it's not a precious thing.
This necklace was once worn by my daughter. Placing it next to me only adds to the sadness.
As for this book, it is nothing more than kendo notes for the next life.
Although I don't have much reputation, I still managed to reach the threshold of a great swordsman.
Although my understanding may not be more suitable for you than that of Lieutenant General Gion, I can still add a little bit of insight to you."
Having said this, Koushiro narrowed his eyes and showed a smile to Daschi.
While laughing, he continued.
"It's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier.
Otherwise, I really want to hang my beloved daughter's knife on your waist myself.
As for now, the word "Hedao" has become the true love of my incompetent disciple, whether it is good or bad, it is fate.
In short, if you feel tired in the future, you might as well stop by Shuangyue Village and let me treat you to a few simple meals."
After saying that, Koushiro didn't give Taschi time to speak, but turned around and left the dock.
Looking at Koushiro's sad back, even the corners of Dasqi's eyes turned red.
"It turns out, are there really two people so similar in the world? One of them... is actually me..."
She wiped her eyes with a cry, then looked back at the silent Smoker.
Looking at the smoke rising from the cigar in Smoker's mouth, Dasqi clenched his fists tightly.
"No matter what, I will take Kuina's part and become the strongest female swordsman in the world!
Starting tonight, I will increase the intensity of my training!!!"
After finishing his words, Dasqi solemnly picked up the swordsmanship notes and followed Gawain emotionally in the team, all the way to the Little Black Bird.
As for Gawain, as he got on the boat, he listened to Raleigh beside him.
"Gawain, Koushiro is also an excellent swordsman, right? Why didn't you recruit him to the ship?
I thought you would bring all the masters and apprentices on board, after all, it’s your style to leave no one behind, isn’t it?”
"Well……."
After listening to Rayleigh's words, Gawain rolled his eyes in a funny way.
"Old man, what are you talking about? Doesn't leaving no one behind describe robbers? How could we be robbers?"
With a tease, Gawain turned around as he walked and looked at Koushiro's back that was gradually moving away.
Then, he continued.
"As for Koushiro, from some aspects, I really want to recruit him.
Although it will be difficult to recruit him, he will not be willing to leave his hometown especially the place where his daughter is buried.
But as long as I think, we will always find a way.
However, considering our future plans, that is, our plan to attack Kaido...
To deal with Kaido, it is inevitable to deal with and sort out the country of Wano. That country has been closed off for too long, and no one knows what they have become.
The battle with Kaido is destined to be straightforward and direct. In that case, I am not sure what kind of damage will be caused to Wano Country.
Anyway…”
Having said this, the corners of Gawain's mouth sank, and he whispered with a solemn face.
"In short, Koushiro is from Wano after all. It would be fine if he were the leader of a country like Weiwei. No matter what kind of harm it causes to Wano, I can negotiate with him.
But Shiro is just an ordinary person, so when it is clear that we are destined to cause harm to Wano, it would be unreasonable to absorb him now.
Even if we have to recruit him, I hope that after we take down Kaido and reorganize everything in Wano Country, we can use Wano Country as our homeland as an attraction to recruit him!"
After saying that, Gawain turned around and boarded the Little Black Bird.
It was not until Little Black Bird went to Big Black Bird and all the cadres returned to the rest area that Lei Li finally spoke to Gawain on behalf of all the cadres.
"It seems that, Captain, you have made a decision. In your plan, the damage to Wano Country is destined to be too great for Koushiro to accept!"
"Hey, what are you talking about, old ghost?"
Just when Lei Li finished speaking, Xia Qi immediately came over and gave Lei Li a violent shudder.
After smashing Lei Li to the ground, Xia Qi blew out her sandbag-sized fist and said coldly.
"You old ghost, you won't sympathize with some inexplicable people of Wano Country, will you?
What we have to face is war, especially the war with Kaido!
In this war, we have to allocate a considerable number of manpower to defend the other three pirate kings in the new world. As for Newgate and Shanks, we can't give up on them just because we have a verbal agreement.
Their defense, right?
Without the ability to use all our hands, dealing with Kaido is destined to be a tough battle for us, especially since this battle is the first real tough battle we have fought since we raised the black bird flag!
In such an extremely important war, do you think we are still qualified to sympathize with the people of Wano?
We can only win, not lose!
Once we fail, we will not only suffer Charlotte Lingling's counterattack, but we will also lose the qualification to continue the agreement with White Beard and Red Hair!
Our plan will be delayed for at least five to ten years, and even the final success rate cannot be guaranteed!"
Having said this, Xia Qi held a cigarette in her mouth and glanced at almost every cadre like a she-wolf.
Of course, for example, there is no need for Shiliu, Hancock and Crocodile to scan.
In this way, Xia Qi used her stern eyes to scare away the eyes of every kind-hearted cadre.
Then, she slapped Rayleigh hard on the head!
Snapped!
Accompanied by violent sounds and Lei Li's screams, Xia Qi continued to speak to everyone as if she had knocked on a gavel.
"Everyone remember what I just said, even if the enemy is a monster like Kaido who is at his peak, we can only win and not fail!
Under this goal, even if we have to destroy the entire country of Wano to achieve our goal, we must do it!
There is no room for sympathy in war, because once the people we sympathize with are in our shoes, they may not even sympathize with us!
So, everyone, please prepare as soon as possible. Since you have embarked on such a path of change, you will inevitably smear the bones under your feet with blood and brains, right?"
"That's right!"
As soon as Xia Qi finished speaking, Gion, who was on Gawain's right, immediately patted his sword.
"When I was in the Navy, I was dissatisfied with Admiral Sakaski's orders more than once!
But even so, once I receive the kind of massacre order that disgusts me, as a soldier, I must carry out everything in the order!
Compassion is a quality of kindness, but kindness means staying away from war!
If we sacrifice today for our generation, we can get a better tomorrow...
Then let all the blood flow on the land of our generation!"
