Gurant has been practising in the Moonlight Dojo for half a year. In the past six months, he has often practised with the other disciples in the dojo, because Gurant strength is superb, and his strength is comparable to that of an adult man.
"Shasha~" There was a sound of leaves being trampled and peeled off, and Gurant opened his eyes, and the person who came was his teacher, Yami.
"What's the matter? Gurant, have you encountered any difficulties?" Yami smiled and walked in front of Gurant."Teacher, how can I chop off the stone?" Gurant turned to face Yami.
"Gurant, did you know? In fact, stones are alive, just like humans." Yami looked at a scarred stone that had been chopped down.
"Life?" Gurant knew the breath of all things but didn't know how to enter that state.
"Yes, everything has life. Gurant, you have to feel their existence, feel the pulse of life, the breath of life." Yami took the wooden sword in Gurant's hand and swung it at the stone.
"Kacha!" Gurant saw the stone split neatly in two.
"You encountered a bottleneck in your practice. This is a good thing! It means you are making progress, Gurant." Yami spoke as he returned the wooden sword to Gurant.
"Teacher, it was just…" Gurant took the wooden sword and looked carefully, and found that there was no trace of cutting a stone.
"Gurant, why are you learning the way of the sword?" Yami stared at Gurant and asked suddenly, his usual gentle tone became serious.
"In order to become stronger!" Gurant looked at Yami, his eyes full of determination.
"What happens after getting stronger?" Yami asked again.
"In order to have one more choice when there is no choice, to live by my will!" Gurant picked up the wooden sword and struck the sword gently with his right finger.
"To live by your own will, that's a tough road!" Yami showed his usual smile.
"My decision will not change!" Gurant raised his head and looked at Yami firmly.
"Yeah! I'll go back first, and see how your senior brothers are training. You don't need to train with everyone in the future." Yami walked slowly towards the dojo.
Gurant understands that this is because his strength has surpassed everyone too much, and the usual training has little effect on the current Gurant.
Since knowing that this place is called "White Town" Flevance. Gurant knew that eventually he would leave here and enter the sea, whether it was because of the era of the great pirates or because it was Flevance's fate!
As for his parents, -they can not change deep-rooted concepts!
An unknown island in the New World at this time
A man was there. He had a big back and a long crosscut scar on his face. Wearing earrings on his right ear, smoking a cigar, and a gold hook on his left hand. He was wearing an orange plaid long-sleeved shirt under the fur coat. With the very demeanour of a leader of the Italian mafia. Sitting at the top of the tallest building, Crocodile was 20 years old and was still young.
In the street below, a tall, sturdy man with long blond hair, earmuffs and a military uniform is facing Crocodile, a 19-year-old Bullet.
"Huh, Douglas• Bullet, you…Could it be that you want to start a war with me?" Crocodile let out a puff of smoke and looked at Bullet condescendingly with a disdainful expression.
"Go to war? No… I mean to defeat you, Sand Crocodile!!" Bullet looked at Crocodile arrogantly.
"Douglas•Bullet, a descendant of the devil, I heard you used to be a member of the Roger Pirates, but after all, you are only a rookie pirate. Don't be too arrogant!" Crocodile said with a gloomy expression.
"You're the person who is a newcomer who has just entered New World! Don't be too…"
"Boom~!"
"Desert Knife!"
"Huh~!" An enormous hand stretched out and waved away the surrounding dust.
"Papa~! Sneak attack, Crocodile"! Bullet, who was unharmed, slowly stepped out of the smoke, and said to Crocodile indifferently, as if it was not himself who had been attacked.
"Huh! Sandstorm!"
Crocodile didn't intend to talk too much with the other party and just threw an attack at him.
"Armed!"
"An attack of this level can't hurt to me, Crocodile!" Bullet rushed towards Crocodile.
"Boom~!"
The golden hook covered with Armament Haki collided with the Bullet. The powerful Haki collided with each other, and the surrounding space was faintly distorted. Black lightning continued to appear, and the powerful air current was oppressing the surroundings!
This battle lasted a whole day and night, regardless of the outcome of the two sides. The entire island was destroyed into ruins, and half of the island was turned into a desert! No longer suitable for human survival!
Calendar 1497 North Blue Flevance.
"Gurant, I'm very sorry, we have done our best!" A middle-aged doctor in a white coat looked at Gurant, who was standing by the window with a look of shame.
"I understand, Dr Engela, it has nothing to do with you!" Gurant walked into the ward and sat down by his parents' bed. His parents' hair and skin are as white as snow! Years of exposure to things made of amber lead resulted in amber lead poisoning and finally took their lives!
"Recently, more and more people have died because of this virus, but the royal family has done nothing. I really don't know what those royals think!" Dr Engela said solemnly.
"Leave this country, doctor, this place has been abandoned!" Gurant got up, left the room, and said to the doctor.
Flevance, White Cemetery.
Gurant knew that this day would come, he thought he might be sad, maybe crying, but Gurant's heart was very calm as if he didn't care about all this, just like the death of his grandparents in the previous life, he calmly accepted it!
The "white town" will cease to exist in eight years. The world government, royal family, merchants, and the country are the people's greed that destroyed Flevance!
Sitting in front of his parents' tombstones, Gurant said goodbye to them!
"I'm leaving, father and mother! I'm going to go to the world, enter the era of the big pirates, and meet the wave of the new era! I will be strong enough to be famous in the world if I have the opportunity… I will let those people feel your pain! "
After bidding farewell to his parents, Gurant went to Full Moon Village. Inside the Moonlight Dojo, the swordsmen saw Gurant coming in, got up and walked towards the backyard of the dojo. Gurant followed him in.
