One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

The peacock and the lark looked at Aaron together, their expressions changing once again.

They had, of course, read the newspapers these past few days. They just couldn't recognize who the sailor in the photo was.

Over the past few days, they've had no shortage of speculation about who this brave marine is.

Now he knows that person is right in front of him, and has even become his comrade-in-arms. The key point is that he's cool and handsome.

Peacocks are mostly curious.

Hibari's eyes sparkled with excitement: "As expected of Senior Aaron!"

As for Coby and Helmeppo, it's hard to know what they were feeling at that moment.

Aaron was curious how Gross could recognize him from just a blurry photo in the newspaper.

"Grus, how did you recognize me?"

"Ha!" Gross chuckled smugly. "I'm a Clay-Clay Fruit user, and I'm very good at sculpting clay figures. I know human muscles and bones inside and out. Just from your stance and your movements, I can tell who's who."

As Gross spoke, he moved the five fingers of his right hand, from which moist clay emerged, and a clay figure appeared, with lifelike proportions and even facial expression.

Grosto, holding the clay figure, said, "Here you go."

"Hmm, forget it. Only kids play with this kind of thing."

Gross was taken aback, then laughed and prepared to turn the clay figure back into clay.

"Senior Grus, could you give this to me?"

Lark was afraid that if he was a little late, it would be too late, so he didn't care about the surprised looks from the others.

Gross handed the clay figure to Lark: "You like it?"

"Um!"

Lark then realized there was a hidden meaning in Grus's words, and instantly blushed as she explained, "I just thought your clay figurines were amazing... I'm not a child anymore!"

Gross smiled and said, "I understand."

The peacock looked meaningfully at the lark, then at Aaron, and simply smiled slightly.

Aaron coughed and said, "Alright, let's hurry up and go to the cafeteria."

Aaron took the lead, followed by Peacock, with Gross and Lark behind, whispering to each other.

The lark held two clay figurines in its hands, as happy as a child.

No, she's still a minor, just a child.

Koby and Helmeppo followed at a distance, looking at the figures of the people ahead, feeling extremely disappointed.

Upon entering the naval mess hall, the surrounding marines were all discussing the same thing.

In the afternoon, while Aaron and the others were in class, Akainu and Aokiji boarded the same warship and left New Marineford for Punk Hazard.

They went to compete for the title of commander.

This island was originally the base of Vegapunk and Caesar Clown. Two years ago, Caesar secretly produced poison gas, which accidentally caused an explosion. The entire island was filled with poison gas, and everyone had been evacuated.

Caesar was imprisoned as a result, but a year ago, he successfully escaped from the G5 naval branch prison.

The focus of these marines' attention, of course, is who will ultimately emerge victorious and become the new admiral of the navy.

Yun Que's originally rosy face turned deathly pale, and she bit her lip tightly, on the verge of tears.

Peacock put his arm around her shoulder: "Skylark, don't worry, Uncle is always victorious in every battle, he'll be fine. Besides, they're having a friendly spar, not a duel, it won't be a fight to the death."

The lark cried, "I was just worried..."

During the meal, Yun Que said she had no appetite and ate much less.

After finishing their meal, the group returned to the training field next to the classroom.

After resting for about half an hour, Garp arrived.

Behind him followed "King of Swords" Bogart.

Bogart was wearing a gray suit and a justice cape. The gray brim of his hat was pulled down, covering half of his face, making it impossible to tell his real age.

Garp walked up to the group, glanced at them, and nodded.

"I explained the theory to you this afternoon. Now, I'll demonstrate it for you. I'll try to slow down the movements so you can see clearly!"

Garp turned around, and without bending his knees, he stomped his feet on the ground alternately, as fast as two pile drivers.

The ground thumped and dust flew everywhere.

With a "whoosh," Garp's figure instantly appeared a hundred meters away.

The next instant, he reappeared just inches away from them.

"If your leg strength is great enough, you can reduce the number of times you stomp the ground. Or you can keep the number the same or even increase it to increase the speed and distance of your teleportation."

Grus, Peacock, and Koby have already mastered the basics of shaving.

Aaron, did you study anything when you were in the branch?

"no."

"You demonstrate."

Aaron took two steps forward and, following Professor Karp's instructions, quickly stomped on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared dozens of meters away.

"Wow! As expected of senior Aaron! He learned it after only watching it once!"

Hibari, the fangirl, clapped her hands so hard they sounded like firecrackers, crisp and loud.

Karp squinted and waited for Aaron to return before saying, "Aaron, your leg strength is truly amazing. Just now, you only took five steps and were able to move such a distance. That's really impressive."

Aaron smiled, but in his heart he was thinking: I can now move at two or three times the speed of sound, not much slower than you. Shaving is a bit of a waste for me now.

Garp glanced at Helmeppo, shook his head, then looked at Hibari and coughed, "Those you haven't learned yet, you can learn them slowly later, no need to rush. Now I'll demonstrate a few other moves for you, try your best to memorize them!"

Karp then broke down and demonstrated the remaining five moves, explaining them twice more.

Aaron has awakened his sixth sense of the universe, and his physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people. His movement speed has even reached twice the speed of sound.

Let alone using the "Shave" martial arts technique, even a simple jump can achieve rapid movement, which can even be considered as teleportation.

Moreover, Aaron's control over his body is so precise that it extends to every single muscle fiber. Techniques like Finger Pistol and Iron Block, Tempest Kick and Moon Walk, which concentrate the body's power, can be learned in no time.

As for paper drawing, it is also about controlling physical strength, but it's about complete relaxation.

Once the level of the sixth sense is increased, one can also foresee the future and strike enemies at the atomic level.

Isn't this ability to foresee the future just Observation Haki?

Achieving an attack at the atomic level—isn't that aimed at Logia-type Devil Fruit users?

Is this another kind of domineering presence?

However, Aaron did not fully demonstrate the moves, but only successfully showed Garp three moves: Shave, Finger Pistol, and Tempest Kick.

Being too sharp and outspoken is not a good thing; one also needs to know how to conceal one's talents.

Even so, it was enough to shock the five young men, and even Garp and Bogart were extremely surprised.

Garp laughed heartily: "Everyone says the Six Powers are easy for some geniuses; they learn them in no time. As for the other powers, I believe you'll learn them soon too. No rush, understand?"

Aaron said, "I know."

Bogart used the handle of his knife to push up the brim of his hat: "Aaron, would you like to learn swordsmanship from me?"
