Chapter 84: White Colt Passing in a Flash! Half a Year of Growth
Moreover,
The Sharingan granted by the system did not have the same harsh progression requirements as in the original story. Advancing from one tomoe to three tomoe only required time and combat experience.
Only awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan
Would be the first true bottleneck on the path of growth.
Even so, even without awakening the Mangekyō in the short term, the boost was already astonishing for Lotte.
Unlike the original,
Activating the Mangekyō Sharingan also consumed his stamina. Fortunately, Hashirama Cells' recovery was strong enough; otherwise, combining Wood Release and Sharingan would truly drain him dry.
As Lotte focused his mind,
A blood-red tomoe slowly swirled in his eyes, glowing with an eerie crimson light under the moonlight.
When Olvia saw this scene,
She couldn't help but be captivated.
Though she didn't know what it was, her innate instinct told her it was definitely no ordinary thing.
As the boat continued sailing,
After their time in the Flower Country, Lotte and Olvia finally returned to Ohara.
For the next period,
Lotte planned to further improve his various strengths while also building up his own personal forces in the West Blue.
At the same time, he could observe Olvia's growth.
...
Half a year later.
A young man stood calmly in a forest on Ohara, watching a silver-haired girl swing the sword in her hand. The blade trailed countless crescent-moon-like sword auras.
That was none other than Moon Breathing.
As a direct derivative of Sun Breathing, it didn't surprise Lotte that Olvia had learned Moon Breathing.
After all, as in the original story, her current physique couldn't handle full Sun Breathing directly.
The weakened Moon Breathing was the best choice.
"Alright, stop."
Lotte nodded lightly.
The silver-haired girl immediately halted her movements,
Raised her head to look at Lotte, waiting expectantly for his evaluation.
Over the past half year,
Olvia had grown even more beautiful. Her figure had developed compared to before. Apart from the silver hair, she bore a striking resemblance to Robin in later years.
"Hm. Olvia, your swordsmanship has improved quite a bit. But if you want to step into the New World, it's still not enough right now."
"By the way, how's the development of Shadow going?"
Lotte asked with a raised brow and a smile.
"Shadow"
Was the intelligence organization Lotte had instructed Olvia to build over the past six months. Though Lotte had pushed things along behind the scenes, Olvia's own growth played a crucial role.
By now, she had already assassinated several high-ranking officials from affiliated nations.
With complete mastery of the Imperial Arm Gaia Foundation, combined with Lotte's guidance, her progress had been rapid.
Olvia immediately smiled and nodded.
"Shadow is developing very well. We now basically have a grasp on most intelligence in the West Blue. However, because we still lack high-level experts, expansion has been difficult."
At present, Shadow's influence was mainly concentrated in the West Blue.
They had some exchanges with the other three seas.
But in the mysterious and unpredictable New World, they still couldn't play a major role.
Even so, this was already more than satisfactory for Lotte—after all, it had only been half a year.
If Shadow continued to grow,
It would become an extremely valuable asset for him in the future.
"Already very good. With an intelligence network like this, even if the Marines make a move, it won't be easy."
"Combined with the Happo Navy and the intelligence we've gathered,"
"It's enough to let Ohara evade danger in advance."
Lotte said calmly.
"The deal with Dr. Clover has been fulfilled."
"I heard he recently obtained a batch of key historical texts. If he can decipher the connection between Uranus and God Island from them, that would be perfect."
"After all, I'll have to return soon."
The time agreed upon with Rocks was drawing closer. He had to prepare for his return.
Hearing Lotte's words, Olvia's face showed a trace of melancholy.
But she quickly cheered herself up and smiled.
"Don't worry."
"Dr. Clover is the greatest scholar on our island!"
"If even he can't uncover it, then probably no one can!"
Olvia firmly believed that as long as she continued to grow,
One day she would become a true asset to him, and entering the New World would be a certainty.
Lotte saw through her thoughts and reached out to rub her head.
"No need to overthink it. Just take it slow."
After saying this,
He turned his attention to his current attribute panel.
[Name: Lotte]
[Age: 19]
[Bloodline Ability: Hashirama Cells (Mastery: 70%)]
[Skills: Wood Release (Current Power Limit: S rank), Three-Color Haki (Advanced 20%), Flame Dance Dual Sword Style (Advanced 30%), Sun Breathing (Mastery 75%), Voice of All Things (Mastered), Double Tomoe Sharingan (Mastered)] [Inventory: Flame King / Shodai Kitetsu (Supreme Grade Swords), Youth Preservation Pills ×4, Fruit of Time (Ten Years)]
[Combat Power: 35000–50000]
[Overall Evaluation: From a pure combat power perspective, already approaching the level of an Admiral candidate. With Wood Release terrain advantage and various abilities combined, contending with or even defeating an Admiral is no exaggeration.]
[Special Remark: The New World—your Emperor has returned!]
After seeing the remark, a faint smile appeared on Lotte's lips.
Indeed, it was almost time to return to the New World. Otherwise, some people might forget
That there was still a cadre like him in the Rocks Pirates.
With his current strength, even within the Rocks Pirates, only a handful could match him—aside from top-tier cadres like Newgate,
The rest had already been completely surpassed by him!
Though his power still fell short of Rocks himself,
As long as the circumstances aligned,
He would make everyone at God Valley eat a huge shock!
The Sharingan had progressed from one tomoe to two tomoe, but reaching three tomoe would still take some time.
Sun Breathing could now use Full Concentration Breathing techniques.
Combined with dual-sword style swordsmanship,
It greatly increased his chances of winning against Golden Lion when he returned.
But Lotte wasn't careless. From the system's various hints and the existence of the Fruit of Time, the upcoming battle probably wouldn't be as easy as imagined.
He had to make every possible preparation.
While Lotte was deep in thought,
The Den Den Mushi placed under a tree suddenly rang.
"Bru bru bru—!"
It was a call from inside the Tree of Omniscience.
Olvia quickly picked it up. Dr. Clover's excited voice came through.
"I've finally uncovered that secret! Lotte, come here quickly!"
"The information about the legendary Uranus!"
