After three days, the mast ship named 'Ellen' finally arrived at the coast of Porter Island.
During the three-day voyage, Ellen encountered two pirate attacks.
At that time, Moses was prepared to lend a hand, but there was no need for him to intervene at all, as the crew of Ellen easily repelled the pirates.
Their tacit cooperation and skillful techniques were all seen by Moses.
For these crew members, dealing with pirates was probably a common occurrence.
What surprised Moses was that the captain, who had barely shown his face since he boarded, turned out to be a Nen User with concealed abilities.
The reason why the crew was able to repel the pirates unharmed was mainly because the captain took action to stabilize the situation.
Moses watched from the side at that time and witnessed the captain's strength. He knew without a doubt that the captain is a seasoned Nen User proficient in advanced Nen techniques.
It was somewhat surprising that he could encounter a skilled individual even on a boat trip, making Moses feel a strange sense of 'there are actually quite a few Nen Users'.
On the sea, the mast ship sailed through the waves.
"In about an hour or so, we'll arrive at Porter Island."
After asking for the voyage information from a middle-aged crew member, Moses looked at the blue horizon ahead.
The five continents of the Hunter world and various archipelagos were highly similar to the continents of the past world, even culturally, giving a sense of 'same origin'.
This was evident in the ninja culture of Porter Island and even in local specialties like sushi.
Moses is still a little curious about the Porter Island he is about to arrive at.
However, he will focus on wielding the sword, and perhaps, he won't have time to explore Hanzo's country.
Moreover, he heard from the crew that the residents of Porter Island are very xenophobic, and the entire country has a tendency of 'closing itself off'.
"It's almost there."
Menchi handed Moses a plate of freshly sliced sashimi, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, and said weakly: "Sailing is even more boring than I imagined."
During these three days, Menchi was enthusiastic only on the first day, when she went to fish for some fish she had never cooked before.
But after the novelty wears off, there was no longer the excitement of catching new ingredients.
This made her eager to go ashore and go to Porter Island to look for ingredients she had never seen before.
Taking the sashimi from Menchi, Moses smiled and said: "I heard from the crew that there is no place to land on Porter Island on the sailing route, so they'll use a small boat to send us over later."
"It sounds very troublesome."
After handing the sashimi to Moses, Menchi lowered her head to tidy up the kitchen utensils.
Moses picked up a piece of sashimi and put it into his mouth, then said softly: "The trouble will be on the return journey. We might not find a ship to leave."
However, Menchi didn't mind much about it.
For her, as long as she could train and grow with Moses, it didn't matter where they were.
An hour later.
Ellen arrived in the offshore area of Porter Island.
The crew lowered a small boat, then signaled for Moses and Menchi to prepare to board.
At this moment, the captain of Ellen suddenly came over.
"I will send them there."
"Eh?"
Hearing the captain's words, several crew members standing by the ship's side looked at each other in surprise.
This is the first time they have seen their captain take such an initiative for such a trivial matter as taking people ashore.
"You two, come with me."
The captain ignored the surprised reactions of his crew members, gestured to Moses and Menchi to follow him, then slid down the rope onto the small boat.
Moses and Menchi exchanged glances, then immediately jumped onto the small boat.
The captain glanced at them, picked up the oars, and rowed the small boat towards the beach not far away.
"Why are you going to Porter Island?"
As the boat rowed a distance, the captain suddenly asked.
Menchi almost blurted out about going there to train, but she held her words at the last moment and instead looked at Moses.
Moses shook his head helplessly, then looked at the captain calmly and said: "I heard that Porter Island has many delicacies that are not available on other continents. We are very interested in this aspect."
"…"
The captain didn't say anything in response.
Soon, the boat rushed onto the beach against the waves.
The captain stood at the bow, silently watching Moses and Menchi.
"Thanks."
Moses thanked him, then led Menchi to jump onto the beach and head towards the distant forest.
Watching their retreating figures, the captain suddenly said: "My ship passes by here every half a month, around this time."
"…"
Moses turned around in surprise to look at the captain, but saw that he had already turned and pushed the small boat back into the sea.
'It seems that there is no need to worry about the return journey.'
Stopping in his tracks, Moses watched as the captain of the Ellen sailed away.
After the small was far away, Moses withdrew his gaze and, together with Menchi, crossed the beach and walked straight into the dense forest.
After walking for a certain distance in the forest, Moses found that the trees here were thriving and lush, seemingly untouched by humans.
'Wright is right, this place is indeed full of life.'
After walking in the forest for about two hours, Moses and Menchi found a suitable spot near a waterfall.
For the next three months, they would train here.
After confirming the temporary residence, Moses didn't rush to activate the effect of Edge Ten Thousand Sword Swings.
He planned to start after midnight.
Night fell.
At midnight, the bright moon hung high in the sky.
Moses stood on the edge of the waterfall, holding an ordinary long sword in his hand.
'Activate Edge Ten Thousand Sword Swings!'
Closing his eyes tightly, Moses chose to activate Edge Ten Thousand Sword Swings deep in his consciousness.
From this moment on, he will complete the standard ten thousand swings of the sword every day.
'Let's begin…'
Moses slowly opened his eyes, held the sword in both hands and raised it above his head, then slashed it forward.
With a faint sound of breaking through the air, a blade of light flashed and disappeared, leaving the tip of the longsword suspended above the ground.
The action is completed, but the count in his consciousness did not change.
This shows that his action of swinging the sword is not up to standard.
'Is it too fast...'
Moses sheathed his sword, slowed down slightly, and then slashed forward again.
This time, the count in his consciousness changed.
[1/10000]
'One swing of the sword takes about 4 to 5 seconds. In other words, it takes about 14 hours to complete 10,000 swings of the sword. The premise is that each swing meets the standard.'
While Moses was thinking to himself, he swung his sword again.
He needed to ensure that each sword slash met the standard as much as possible, otherwise, he might fail due to insufficient time.
Subsequently, Moses swung his sword down ten times, and only six reached the standard.
'It's not as easy as I thought.'
Moses rallied himself and focused on each slash.
About twenty-one hours later.
Without eating or drinking, and without resting midway, Moses continued to swung his sword for twenty-one hours straight to complete the first day's ten thousand slashes.
The whole process can be described as extremely difficult.
But precisely because of this that Moses looked forward to the results and rewards after three months.
