Chapter 2 Swordsmen and Swords

"grateful."
Qiubai reached out and took the hot soup handed over by Ain... The soup was indescribable, but it was beyond doubt that it could replenish the calories. Then he thanked the owner of the house.
This is a house independent of the coast. This location is not a port, so it seems a little withdrawn. The house is small and particularly old, and there is a small courtyard outside.
The reason why Qiu Bai thanked was that it was the other party who cut off the head of the Sea King with one sword and rescued the two who died on the shore.
The kind of sword energy that can be released from a distance is enough to show that the identity of the person in front of him should be extraordinary.
"Please use it. Although the taste is not very good, this is what you need the most. Although this island in the New World is like many islands in the New World, if you can barely compare it, the current time here... should be considered early spring, and the sea water is very cold."
"It's just... I live alone, and there are no clothes for you to change here."
The person who speaks looks not easy to judge. His face is almost old, but his body is much younger. But if you want to say what is the most eye-catching thing on him, it should be a bit inexplicable hairstyle.
His physical condition seemed to be not very good, and he always coughed lightly during his speech.
"No, it's already a blessing to be saved." Qiubai expressed his gratitude again, and then drank the things in the bowl. He had time to care about the taste of the food, but it was absolutely impossible for it to be now.
There is also a stove in this room that can gradually dry the clothes on the two young people while dispelling the chills... Qiubai is wearing only a white shirt, black monochrome pants on his lower body, and half-high boots on his feet. He originally had a black tie, but it probably fell into the sea long ago.
"Your courage to protect your companions is very admirable. Although sea kings are common in this sea, this one is different from being able to face it with direct attacks." The man praised.
This is also the direct reason why he chose to help.
Qiubai shook his head and did not respond to the other party's expectations. He sent the empty bowl forward, and Ain took it back again... When someone else was there, she didn't say much.
Qiubai sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees casually, then raised his head slightly, and looked directly at the person in front of him - this seemed a little rude.
"It's insignificant than mine, but... I just didn't expect to see a 'big figure' like you on this island."
The master was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Do you know me?"
"No, but I can confirm your identity. Even on a closed island like my hometown, I have heard of your legend, so what I see now can probably be regarded as a 'living legend'."
"I can't confirm your identity based on my appearance, but I know the knife on your waist. After all, it is a 'famous weapon' that all swordsmen want to buy - the word "Ruan Blade Da Nin T-word, Da Cut No Rise, the legendary famous sword of one of the 21 masters of the Great Quick Knife, the national treasure of Wano Kingdom, and the black sword Qiushui."
"The identity of its holder is self-evident, the legendary warrior, the great swordsman who 'slayed dragon', and the warrior dragon horse." This is a very simple speculation, because the sword will not change hands, and it is hard to imagine that someone can take his sword from such a swordsman... when he was still alive.
"Am I such a celebrity?" Longma did not deny his identity. He straightened his body and returned to a standard sitting position. Then he pressed the upper part of the scabbard with his left hand and lifted the famous sword Qiu Shui slightly forward one inch.
This is not to let Qiu Bai appreciate the sword closer, but to... he was sitting and hitting directly, and the dragon horse was posing in a standard "reunion" posture.
"You just said that this is the famous weapon that all swordsmen want? So, is it your hunting target?"
The swordsman's hands are very distinctive, and Qiu Bai's identity will not be hidden from the eyes of people like Longma... He is also a swordsman, so that's the case.
"No."
But unexpectedly, Qiu Bai gave a decisive answer. This has nothing to do with whether it will anger Longma, because he doesn't need such a sword.
"Although I also hold a sword, I can only use my own sword and don't need other people's things."
Qiu Bai stared at Longma with a strange look. The other party did have what he wanted, but rather than saying that he needed a sword, what he wanted more was...
Sword skills.
Whether it is accidental or the cause or fate, it is definitely not a high probability event to encounter a swordsman of this level. This is Qiu Bai's real luck.
Longma looked back at him and felt a little strange, because he felt that this young man was telling the truth, but few swordsmen turned a blind eye to famous swords - although he said he had his own sword, his hands were empty, and the sword might have been lost in the sea.
Then, Qiubai began to tell himself:
"I was born on an island called 'Whale Island' not far from this island. My father is a hunter. This year..." When he said this, he suddenly got stuck and turned his eyes to Ain.
“15 years old.”
Fortunately, Qiubai thought it was irrelevant, and Ain still remembered it clearly.
"I've been 15 years old this year. I've always grown up in that small village. If I'm a little older, that island will be the whole world for me. Most swords are taught by myself, and the identity of a swordsman... is also self-proclaimed."
"But after my father passed away, I decided to go out to sea to pursue the ultimate of kendo."
Qiubai's statement made Ain calmly lower his head... He didn't say that when he went out to sea a few days ago.
There is no doubt that his statement is inclined and purposeful.
The great swordsman, Dragon Horse... If it weren't for the shocking attack before, plus the irreplaceable famous sword around the waist, no one could have linked the two identities.
Longma nodded. Qiubai's words were nothing to doubt. This was an extremely common and common sense thing... because this is a new world, going from one island to another is like crossing the heavenly chasm.
"But it seems that I'm not very lucky. I encountered a storm just after going out to sea."
"Is it a self-taught sword..." Longma repeated in a low voice. Whale Island is indeed a small island nearby, and it is impossible for famous teachers to have it because of the situation there.
"Since the incident of 'One Piece', fewer and fewer people have talked about swords. Since it is a self-taught sword, are you interested in competing? It just so happens that I haven't moved my body for a long time."
Longma suddenly said so.
For him, even killing a sea king is not even able to exercise his body, but how about practicing with Qiu Bai? He is even more hilarious, he is just interested in this young man.
"Is that OK?" Qiubai asked with anticipation. The other party was just right. Or maybe Longma was really idle, but he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
With the strength and strength of the two sides in swordsmanship, it is actually a bit too proud to say that the competition is actually a bit too proud, which is clearly a guide.
"Why bamboo sword..." Longma began to look around, and he remembered that there were a few bamboo swords coming.
"No, if it's a fight, I hope it's better to have a real sword." Qiu Bai said, raising his right arm flat, then holding it with one hand, and a knife was crossed in his palm.
"This? Are you... a capable person? But just now..." Longma felt a little old and confused, as if the other party had just swam several laps in the sea.
Qiubai just smiled, "It's a little different. I'm not a capable person, I just hid my sword in a strange pocket."
His explanation was beyond doubt, but Longma could no longer ask about such things.
"Forget it, can you show me this sword?"
Compared to being a capable person, as a swordsman, Longma, values the sword itself more.
"Of course." Qiubai generously handed him the knife in his hand.
The appearance of this knife looks very ordinary, but the cold light reflected by the blade seems to indicate that it is not an ordinary blade. It may not be compared with a famous knife of Qiu Shui, but it is also a masterpiece.
“Good quality.”
"This knife is called 'Thousand Daggers·黑'." Qiubai added.
"Thousand Knife?"
“…because this is a product, there are a total of 1,000 such knives.”
Is the naming of the knife related to output? Although this knife has not been carefully crafted and worked hard on the appearance, it is actually difficult to imagine it as a product based on the quality of the blade.
And... Did Qiubai hide a thousand "thousand swords" in his pocket?
