Chapter 788 Seeing Each Other Clearly!

field!

The field of kendo!

Yes, only in this way can we explain everything that happened in front of us.

Abel, who retreated, did not continue to attack, but concentrated all his energy on the sword intention.

Then he saw countless sword lights fixed around Koushiro.

It was the vision of sword light formed by Koushiro's sword intention.

Anyone who comes unexpectedly close to Koushiro will be attacked immediately.

After all, no matter how fast the teleportation is, it can't compare to the 'thought', and it is also the 'thought' of independent defense.

"It seems you have discovered it."

Seeing that Abel no longer attacked, but stood there deep in thought, Koushiro also had a smile on his face.

Abel said: "I have seen this move with 'Eagle Eye' Mihawk, but that guy's swordsmanship seems to be different from yours. His counterattacks are faster and sharper."

"It turns out you have already fought against that great swordsman, no wonder."

Koushiro showed a look of surprise, and then continued: "I have never practiced swordsmanship with 'Eagle Eye' Mihawk, so I don't know much about his kendo field, but what I can tell you is that my kendo field is called - -guard."

"guard?"

"Yes, this is my understanding. It is an area that I came to understand while protecting my family and disciples, protecting my village and country, and protecting everything I cherish."

Koushiro suddenly said seriously: "Do you know what you are lacking? It is correct to use sword intention to construct the kendo field, but the field is an intangible thing. It is not called a field if you use a series of sword intention to connect several circles. .”

"You have to infinitely expand your sword intention and use the true 'intention' contained within as the foundation of the field. Only then can you eliminate the false and retain the true."

"But your biggest problem now is that your sword intention is too empty. It only has its shape but not its spirit. This kind of sword intention can be used to attack, but it is almost impossible to succeed when used to condense the field."

Listening to Koshiro's guidance, Abel also discovered his own problem.

Sword Intent Sword Intention is to combine and refine one's 'thought' with the sword.

But he took a shortcut from the beginning and used his mental power to forcibly condense sword intent.

To put it bluntly, they are just empty shells without a soul.

Abel finally understood why his [Infinite Slash] always felt that it was not powerful enough.

Only when he integrates his true "meaning" into it can he maximize the power of this move, and even use it as a prototype to transform into the real realm of swordsmanship.

So what is his ‘meaning’?

Or in other words, what is his obsession?

Koushiro's obsession is to protect, protect everyone around him, and protect the things he cherishes.

Therefore, Koushiro's kendo field also revolves around the word "protection".

Abel had no doubt that when someone threatened Kuina's life, it would be Koushiro's most powerful moment.

At that moment, there will be nothing that cannot be cut off by the [Wado Ichimonji] in Koushiro's hand!

Abel didn't know the obsession of 'Eagle Eye' Mihawk.

But judging from the fact that he wanders around, looking for swordsmen to spar with, and even trains his opponents with his own hands, it is very likely that he is lonely.

Victory and failure are not important, he just wants an opponent who can have a hearty battle with him.

In the past, Shanks could satisfy this, so they were not only opponents who could compete with each other on swordsmanship, but also friends who could sit down and drink wine together.

But when Shanks lost an arm, Mihawk lost his last opponent.

Being invincible is also a kind of loneliness, and it is also a kind of regret.

This is especially true for someone like Mihawk who has been loyal to the sword his entire life.

Therefore, what Abel felt in Mihawk's sword field was a fierce and invincible aura.

"Then what is my obsession?"

"Go home? Back to Earth?"

"Haha, there is nothing to miss about the original life."

"Is that seeking justice for my family and hometown in this life?"

"There are some, but it is by no means the biggest obsession."

"So what is it?"

Abel stood there with a rare blank expression.

The silver sword intent all over the sky began to flicker, flickering brightly and dimly as his heart fluctuated.

When Koushiro saw this, he knew that the other party was trapped in an 'inner demon'.

If you can see through your true heart, you can take another step forward on the path of swordsmanship.

If not, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take this step in the future.

"If you really can't think of it, you might as well go back to the starting point in your heart and see what drove you to where you are today."

"The origin of my heart? What brought me to where I am today?"

Abel was stunned for a moment, and then fell into memories.

That day, he and Luo crawled back to the human world from the hell where corpses were everywhere.

Then I stood on the border and looked at the blazing fires in the white town.

At that time, he had a conversation with Luo.

"Luo, what are you thinking about?"

"I want to live and turn this hopeless world upside down."

"He's a really scary guy, but he sounds interesting."

. . . . . .

"Luo, is lead disease really incurable?"

"I don't know either. Even my father is helpless about this disease. There is a high probability that he can only wait to die."

"I can only wait to die? Ha, I don't believe it. Since I can come out of that 'hell' alive, then my destiny can only be controlled by myself! I not only want to survive, but also live longer than anyone else. , live a more wonderful life than anyone else!"

. . . . . .

"Yes, my original obsession was just to survive and live better than anyone else! I also wanted to turn this hopeless world upside down!"

"It was this obsession that made me join the Don Quixote family. I worked my way up step by step and became a full member, a family cadre, and the top cadre. I even ousted Doflamingo. Became the head of the family and created his own power."

"So up to this moment, have my obsessions changed?"

"No, nothing has changed! I just want to live the most wonderful life! I just want to change this world! I just want to become the king of this world!"

“This is my obsession and my ‘meaning’!”

When the confusion in Abel's eyes completely disappeared, revealing a clear light, the silver sword intent in the sky suddenly began to tremble violently.

Click, click. Snap!

The silver-white shell suddenly shattered, and then the golden light symbolizing the color of the emperor was revealed inside.

[Infinite Slash], which was originally only LV7, was directly upgraded to LV9 by two levels!

After slaying his inner demons and returning to his original starting point, Abel has perfected his sword power and has taken a solid step forward in the path of swordsmanship!
