One Piece: Beginning as the Monkey King

The old man was very angry, but he was very happy.

In Bardock's impression, Adrian was a serious middle-aged man. Bardock knew where he lived and had even been there. When he was young, he accompanied his parents to attend Adrian's banquet. It was a huge manor. His parents also told him that without a noble status, no matter how rich a businessman was, he was not allowed to buy such a manor. Adrian was very powerful in Wangdu and must not be offended.

"How to deal with him? The identity of a noble is a bit troublesome. It's best to let him go quietly. If you have it, it's decided to be you! Somersault Cloud!"

Bardock combined his memory, turned a few circles in the air, and soon found the place where Adrian lived in his impression. He approached quietly, and sure enough, Adrian's room was this one.

"You didn't even close the window. You can't do this! You must learn a lesson in your next life!"

Bardock controlled the somersault cloud to enter the room, and a large ball covered Adrian, making him unable to move. Then, a part of it extended from the nasal cavity into Adrian's body, completely blocking his respiratory tract.

Adrian was awake at this time, but he was completely unable to resist. His whole body seemed to be trapped in a swamp, unable to move. After a moment, he fainted because he couldn't breathe. Then he died silently in the fainting.

Bardock waited for a while and made sure that the viscount was dead, then he controlled the somersault cloud to fly up. He did not take back the somersault cloud, but controlled the somersault cloud to lock all the doors and windows of the room, and then directly released the somersault cloud.

"Everything is done, it's time to go back!"

A new somersault cloud was summoned by Bardock, appeared at his feet, and carried him back.

The next day, Bardock got up to train as usual and prepared breakfast for several partners.

Andrew came to Bardock with a bandage on his head, "Sir, I have subdued all the members of the Night Wolves according to your instructions. They are all in their positions. If there is any movement, they will report to you." As he said that, he looked around again, lowered his head and said stealthily, "Sir, Viscount Adrian was gone last night. He was found this morning with the doors and windows closed, suffocated to death. It is said that the capital will send people to investigate."

"Oh, really? Nobles are also people, and everyone will die. It's normal, isn't it? Let your men pay attention to the news brought by outsiders in the port, especially ghosts, zombies, tomb robbers and the like."

"Ghosts, zombies, sir, aren't these legends?"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me as soon as you have news. Go."

...

The peaceful days passed in the blink of an eye for half a month, and the officials in the capital who investigated Adrian's death found nothing and returned empty-handed.

Bardock thought that the other party would follow the clues to find him. After all, as a noble, they don't need evidence to find trouble. If you say it's you, you are you, and if you don't say it's you, you are you.

Bardock is very busy every day. In addition to physical fitness, physical skills, and swordsmanship, he also has to learn knowledge such as navigation and meteorology. Sometimes he needs to learn world knowledge from Robin with Mansherry and Leo. He simply handed over all the matters of connecting with the Night Wolf Gang to Robin. Robin really lived up to his trust and managed things in an orderly manner.

After a lot of training, Bardock's strength has improved. Except for paper painting, he has mastered the other six styles. He can use them skillfully. The improvement in swordsmanship is even greater. He no longer feels stiff when using the sword. It is very smooth, like an extension of his arm. It is estimated that if he goes further, he will be a swordsman who can cut iron and send flying slashes.

In addition to Bardock, Leo is also making rapid progress. The talent of the dwarf race is good. Leo is young and has not exercised much before. Now he is officially exercising and making rapid progress every day. He has learned the six-style shaving, which is so fast that it is difficult to detect. He often goes out to play and teases passers-by, and no one has discovered that he is playing a prank. He also learned the book "Knitting Encyclopedia", but for combat, it is most convenient to sew directly.

Mansherry and Robin did not deliberately learn combat skills. Bardock only asked them to do physical training to ensure that they have enough physical strength to use. The rest should develop their devil fruit abilities. If there is still strength to spare, it is not too late to practice combat skills.

Mansherry has made a big step forward in the use of her abilities because she often makes dandelions for Bardock. As for Robin, Bardock often discusses the development of the fruit with her and tells her in advance some of the skills that Robin will master later, such as huge hands and feet, clones, demon form, etc.

I don't know when Robin will develop it.

"Bardock, there is news about ghosts. Some crew members claim to have encountered them on a certain island."

Robin came with a map and got straight to the point.

"A certain island?"

"Well, he didn't know what the island was called. It seemed to have been cleansed by pirates and there was no one alive there."

"Did he say what ghosts look like?"

"White, floating in the air, there are several."

"Yes, that's it. The person I'm looking for has appeared. Robin, since you're here, you must have figured out the location of the island."

"Well," Robin opened the map, pointed to one of the areas, and then said, "It's roughly this area. There are several small islands there. The sailor can't tell which one it is now, so we can only go and see it ourselves."

"Really reliable, Robin ! I just learned the art of navigation, and I can't wait to go out to sea. "

"In this case, I will arrange the Night Wolf Gang's personnel and ask them to prepare the supplies so that we can set off."

"Okay, I'll ask Leo and Mansherry to prepare. Maybe we will have a new companion."

"Is it this ghost? Bardock, this ghost is also a devil fruit user, right?"

"Yes, a superhuman devil fruit that can summon ghosts, and can also fly out of the body. It's a very good ability."

"Okay, we should be able to set off this afternoon, and the weather is very suitable."

After saying the last sentence, Robin went to arrange various things.

After noon, at the port dock, Bardock took Robin, Leo and Mansherry to board the White Dragon Horse, which was the pirate ship that Bardock had seized before. The Monkey King was placed on the White Dragon Horse as a lifeboat.

Robin and Mansherry went to check various supplies, and Bardock and Leo checked the situation of the ship. After making sure everything was normal, the four of them first worked together to row the boat out of the port, and then Bardock raised the sails, and the White Dragon Horse gradually sailed away.

"Captain Bardock, how long will we sail on the sea this time?"

"Leo, how long do you want to sail?"

"Me? I can do it."

"Hahaha, it's all right, then let's sail for a while longer. This time, I'm going to find another partner for us."

"Partner, is it amazing?"

"You'll know when we meet. The next training can't stop, Leo, Mansherry, Robin, I'm going to spread the somersault cloud."

After that, Bardock spread the somersault cloud on the deck of the White Dragon Horse, and the clouds under the feet of the four people extended upward to form four cloud clothes. The density of each cloud clothing is not consistent, which means that the somersault cloud gives different downward pressure. Bardock's is naturally the highest density, while Robin's is the lowest density. Even if the four people walk around, the cloud clothes always follow, and there is no sense of pulling at all.

This was something that Bardock did only after he had a deeper understanding of the ability of the Somersault Cloud. It avoided the possible involvement of each other before, and also provided a kind of insurance for everyone, so they didn't have to worry about falling off the boat and into the water.

"I must find a partner to be responsible for salvaging in the future. There are more and more people with special abilities on the boat."
