For high-level pirates like him, for sea students who had just gone on an internship and had not yet become full-fledged sailors, two major successes in a row meant nothing.
"When we came to practice that year," Kizaru recalled, "Akainu and I beat the pirates so much that milk came out of their noses. And in the end, we were only awarded the rank of Commodore. And dozens of pirates with rewards of tens of millions - this is not even close to a major pirate from the New World, whose reward is more than two hundred million. In addition, this pirate is also a double red staff under the command of the Golden Lion. Having heard only two words: "Great swordsman", everything is already clear about his reputation.
Not to mention the real world, even in the original anime, how many sword-wielding pirates are there in the Navy, but how many of them are great swordsmen? In general, none. Only the blind great swordsman Fujitora later raised the prestige of the Navy. But Fujitora is more of a random player, not exactly an original product. His strength is more in the ability of the heavy fruit, and not in pure swordsmanship. But among the pirates, great swordsmen are few.
One can only imagine how highly the title of "Great swordsman" is valued.
Of course, that wasn't what Leonardo cared about most. The main thing was that his observation Haki had awakened. As expected, great breakthroughs happen between life and death. At the moment when the Golden Lion sword almost struck him, he still managed to feel the blow. It was an incredible feeling - as if his third eye had opened and he could literally see everything with his own eyes.
Don't ask where this third eye is - that's nonsense... Although, if you think about it... the heart.
The range of his newfound observational Haki is still limited, but he can now sense the breathing of the vice admiral who lives next door. Incidentally, he seemed to be very excited about something: his breathing and heartbeat increased, as if he were doing vigorous exercise. This lasted for about ten minutes, and then his breathing, heartbeat, and emotions gradually calmed down.
- Cough... A little quickly, even if you are injured, you need to take care of yourself...
Awakening Observation Haki is certainly an achievement, but it's not the most important thing. He's been training two types of Haki for half a year now. As a guy with a system... Even without the stimulation from the Golden Lions Sword slash, he would still feel that he's close to awakening. So he's not going to thank old man Golden Lion.
The second achievement is the training of Armor Haki. Probably due to the injury and the powerful recovery system , the progress of Armament Haki has already covered both hands, and now he can coat his sword of mercy with it without any problems. And here, too, he does not intend to thank the old man Shiki.
But!
For his next big achievement, he really wants to thank old man Golden Lion - and not just him, but his whole family!
Because that strange feeling has returned – as if the leaf is about to catch fire. It is difficult to explain this feeling, but the author has the right to a final explanation. Basically, he just feels that the third leaf is about to catch fire!
If it was a guess before, then after the second leaf lit up, there was no need to guess what kind of skill the third one would have. Skill is something amazing. The feedback principle is getting stronger. It's hard to say what the next skill will be, but with his current life force, it recovers in less than a minute after being struck by the Golden Lions sword slash . If he repeats this once or twice, will he really become "Death Invulnerable" like the old man Six Paths or that little brat?
Maybe the tree in his heart is not just the tree between A and C, but a divine tree?
No matter how fatal the injury, he can recover on the spot. Imagine this picture: Kaido jumps from a height of 10 thousand meters from the Sky Island and does not die?
And he will jump straight from the sun!
But... After this outburst, he thought about a very important question: it seemed that he had not yet found a way to light the leaves. The first time it happened in the equipped room of the Naval Academy - and the leaf caught fire. The second time, he rushed around the academy for a long time, but nothing happened until Gion kissed him.
Now Kong has asked Sengoku to return him to headquarters. Could this be God's will?
Knowing that he was alone and had no girls, he decided to go back and kiss Gion
If so, then suffering a little loss is not a big deal. Children of rivers and lakes do not care about such things. They are only afraid that the situation can get worse and worse.
The third leaf is ready to stick out its tongue, followed by the fourth, the fifth...
Leonardo shuddered involuntarily, he didn't even want to think about it. Wasn't it that same women who decided everything?
.....
The next day,
Stepping aboard the massive ship returning to the city, Leonardo saw Kuzan, who was temporarily serving as a guard at the base .
"What? You haven't contacted Vice Admiral Garp yet?" Leonardo asked.
Speaking of Kuzan, he was really unlucky to follow someone like Garp. He was exhausted from the start, sprawled on the ground like an exhausted dog, and didn't ask himself to run around in search of understanding . If it weren't for his strong base and quick recovery, Kuzan would have become a mere spectator in this battle until he finally received a big gift.
Does anyone seriously think that by eating Logia you can freeze the sea at any moment?
A Devil Fruit needs to be developed. Although Logia and Zoan's development is not as wild as Paramecia's, they still follow the law of nature - from weak to strong.
For example, whoever ate the "Cow-Cow" fruit, did he immediately become the king of cows? If you just eat the fruit, you can get five new characteristics and turn into a big cow.
The same goes for Logia. Although Logia's starting point is higher than regular Zoan and Paramecia, and it has elementalization, it makes the user practically invulnerable before awakening Armament Haki. But attack methods, damage, skill range, all of this needs to be developed gradually. Zephyr has a good line: "Without a strong body, you'll never be good."
Physical fitness is the foundation of coolness.
Whether it's a physical fitness expert like Garp, a sword master like Roger or Rayleigh, or even a devil fruit expert like Sengoku or Whitebird, the foundation of everything is a strong body.
Whether you punch, swing a sword, or activate a fruit ability, all of this requires physical strength. The stronger your body, the longer you can hold out. The damage from a punch, sword, or fruit ability will naturally be higher, and the range of Logia's attacks will be wider.
