"WRONG! WRONG! AND WRONG!" answered Chopper demonstratively, "The correct answer is speed! Skill is something that can be taught, learned, and improved upon--heck, it can even be unlearned if necessary! Strength is something that can be easily improved upon--and diminished--as well! However, speed cannot be improved upon--you either have it or you don't!"
"A good swordsman can master at least one of the three attributes of swordfighting and a great swordsman can master two of them!" said Chopper twirling his wooden sword to the left and then to the right, "However, the complete swordsman, a swordsmaster, those that are the stuff of legend, can master all three aspects equally--skill, strength, and speed! When they fight, it becomes less like combat and more like a dance or a symphony of death and pain! This is your goal! This is what you aspire to become!"
Smirking a little, Chopper added, "Heck, the Captain, as good as he is still has not mastered all three aspects of swordsmanship! Based upon what you have seen of him, which aspects would you say he has mastered and which aspects do you say that he has not?"
