One Piece: Fist of the World

"Although we avoided Holgus Town where the navy might be waiting, it doesn't mean we can definitely avoid the navy's pursuit."

"The navy rarely sets such a high amount for the first bounty. Such a high amount can only mean that the navy has fully affirmed our strength."

"Although this is enough to be proud of, it also means that the navy will hunt us down with higher standards. The next time may be the team led by the headquarters vice admiral."

"Moreover, it is not only the navy that is eyeing us, but also bounty hunters hiding in the dark, and pirates with other purposes! After all, the bounty of our entire group is close to 200 million Baileys, which can't be found in the entire North Sea."

"Whether it is the bounty that can be obtained by killing us or the fame that can be gained, it will attract countless people to move."

Rod looked at his companions in front of him and said very seriously.

"We are not fools. We all understand this truth."

Luo stood up holding his sword.

After getting serious, he looked like a captain.

With such a thought flashing through his mind, Luo walked straight to his room.

His room is next to the restaurant, and it is a large room connected to the medical room.

Because sometimes he needs to study some things, in order to save time, Luo made a request when the Polar was built to connect his room to the medical room.

He has some ideas that he wants to try.

The battle with Gladius was okay, and it didn't put too much pressure on him.

However, the way that Rod proposed to intercept the power of the devil fruit and create a completely isolated space through the power of the fruit, after three practices, especially one successful experience, Luo had some new feelings.

If this ability can be developed, it can not only increase the success rate of obtaining the devil fruit and improve the team's future development potential, but also be an effective way of fighting.

"I probably can't help much in terms of fighting, I'd better go to transform the warehouse."

Gray got up silently and walked to the research room below.

"Let's go exercise!"

Pei Jin and Xia Qi are still full of energy.

The two of them felt that they were relatively weak on the ship, and unlike Gray, they did not have any special skills, so they never relaxed their requirements on themselves. They kept exercising every day, and sometimes jumped into the sea to swim with him.

Especially after obtaining the Explosion Fruit, the two of them seized every opportunity to jump into the sea to swim, cherishing the last time to go to the sea before becoming a capable person.

Seeing everyone full of energy, Rhode smiled with relief.

Then he got up and went to his room.

As the captain, his room was in the middle of the second floor, with a small balcony at the door, and the rudder of the Polaris was also here.

When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was the big saw blade [Shark Cutter] hung on the wall by Rhode, which was the trophy after he defeated Bastiu.

Reaching out to hold [Shark Cutter], Rhode's ability [Knights Do Not Die Barehanded] was automatically activated, allowing him to instantly master the skills of using the saw blade.

Different from ordinary katana or katana, this weapon focuses more on chopping and requires a high level of strength from the user.

The most important thing is that Bastiu is a swordsman who has mastered [Slashing Iron].

Closing his eyes slightly, feeling the power of the swordsman realm, Rhodes exudes a sharp breath.

After a long time, Rhodes let go of [Slashing Shark] and instead grasped a long sword that he had taken from the captured items.

Rhodes had a sense of enlightenment in his heart. He could feel that he could now cut through steel with this ordinary weapon in his hand!

He is now a swordsman!

Although his sword realm is just a beginner swordsman, relying on Rhodes' strong physical strength, the power of the slash he can now make is far greater than that of ordinary swordsmen.

And not only that!

Rhodes' mind moved slightly, and an invisible force surged out of his body, along his hand, and wrapped around the long sword in his hand.

Armament Haki!

The so-called [Armament Haki], similar to the Observation Haki, is also a power of will, with the ability to enhance defense and attack power.

In addition to being a swordsman, Bastiu also mastered the two-color Haki. Although it was not profound, it was enough for Rhodes to unlock the Armament Haki.

Because he had been in the North Sea before, he had not encountered an opponent with sufficient strength. Even if he knew the principle of the two-color Haki, Rhodes only relied on Neru to master the Observation Haki, but did not master the use of Armament Haki.

"Major General Bastiu, what a good man!"

Letting go of the long sword in his hand, Rhodes let the Haki flow through his body. With the support of his strong physical strength, the Haki continued to flow out from his physical strength and covered his whole body in a blink of an eye.

Entanglement and hardening! Flowing outward! Internal destruction!

These are several techniques for using Armament Haki that Rhodes knows.

According to the insights gained from [Shark Slash], Rhodes not only awakened the Armament Haki, but also quickly mastered the technique of entanglement and hardening. And thanks to his strong physique, although it was only a preliminary awakening, the strength of Haki has far exceeded Bastiu.

Now I should be able to face the Seven Warlords of the Sea head-on!

Rhodes silently estimated his own strength.

The average physical strength of the pirate world is very low, but he has been exercising since he was a child and is confident that he is not inferior to those people, and even better than them.

He has mastered the two-color domineering now. He has mastered the observation domineering because of Neilu, and the armed domineering is just a preliminary mastery, but with his own physique, it should not be bad in quality and quantity.

His swordsmanship has also reached the realm of swordsmanship, and he has just learned [shave] in terms of footwork.

Thinking of this, Rhodes silently added in his heart.

Lieutenant Colonel Hina is also a good person!

The only thing he lacks now is combat experience!

Letting the domineering flow around him, slowly getting familiar with this new power, Rhodes' heart bursts with a heroic spirit.

The solid foundation laid by practicing since childhood, coupled with the ability of [sit-ups], is enough to ensure his physical growth space, and he will soon be able to reach the pinnacle of this world.

And [Knights do not die with bare hands] ensures that he can master various combat skills as quickly as possible.

Especially the latest discovery, as long as you get the weapons used by the strong, you can master the opponent's skills through the weapons.

Next, as long as you continue to fight with the strong, thoroughly tap the potential of your body in the battle, and then thoroughly absorb and integrate the skills you have mastered, you will soon be able to stand at the top of this ocean!
