One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

"850 Dao power?! You must be kidding me."

"Is this the kind of strength someone his age should have?!"

"I only have 80 Dao power, but that's ten times my strength. You could take on ten of me."

"Don't worry, taking on ten of you would be a piece of cake..."

Kalifa's exclamation drew the attention of many students.

They all stared at Kitahara Tsune as if he were a monster, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

Although Dao power is not a private matter, most students do not disclose their Dao power value in order to hide their strength.

Lucci and his team, in order to maintain a low profile as agents, kept quiet and didn't make a fuss at all.

"850 power... I'm looking forward to your performance."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Rob Lucci's eyes as he looked at Kitahara Tsuneo.

He originally thought that Kitahara Tsune was at the same level as Kaku and Gabra.

Rob Lucci now considers him a rival of the same level.

The other original CP9 members have already regarded Kitahara Tsuneo as one of their future members.

After all, if a genius of this caliber can't get into CP9, then no one can.

By the way, the current power levels of CP9 are:

Rob Lucci: 800

Kaku: 436

Gabra: 440

Bruno: 164

Owl: 162

Cuddling: 160

Kalifa: 126

"Quiet, quiet!"

Luschi glared at Kalifa with displeasure, then shouted, silencing the murmurs around him.

"First test complete."

Raschi cleared his throat. "Now, anyone with a Dao power below 80 will be eliminated."

"You can go to other CP departments now."

This statement sparked another round of discussion.

However, they soon came to the realization of the facts, and other CP department personnel promptly picked them up.

These people knew their own strength to some extent when they trained on Guanhao Island.

Faced with a host of geniuses like Lucci and Kaku, they had long since given up hope of joining CP9.

Only 32 people remained.

These 32 people, excluding Kitahara Tsuneo, Lucci and others, are all exceptional talents in the first half of the Grand Line.

At the age of 13 or 14, his strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary naval officer.

"Come with me."

Led by Rob Lucci and Kitahara Tsune, 32 people followed one after another behind Lucci.

Soon, the group arrived at their destination, led by Laschi.

It was a port, and it had clearly been abandoned for a long time.

Even the trainees like Lucci and his group, who had been training on Crown Island for a long time, had never been here before.

"The second assessment is very simple."

Laschi turned around and casually divided the 32 people into 8 groups.

Of course, this grouping is not arbitrary, but rather based on the Dao power value.

"From here, it will take an hour to reach the tower in the center of the island."

"The top two from each group will advance to the next assessment."

"During this period, groups cannot interfere with each other, but members within a group can use any means necessary."

After explaining the rules, Laski waved his hand, signaling the first group of eight to set off.

"Alright, first group, you can set off now."

Kitahara Tsune then looked at the members around him:

The two people I don't recognize are probably extras; the other one is Gabra, who has a scar on his right eye.

Seeing Kitahara Tsune looking at him, Gabra glared back fiercely.

"What bad luck, to be in the same group as this monster..."

His eyes darted around as he plotted how to outmaneuver Kitahara Tsune.

We can't compete with you in terms of raw power, so we can only resort to underhanded tactics.

Such rules are actually somewhat unfair to Kitahara Tsuneo.

Because he didn't train on Guanhao Island, he wasn't familiar with the terrain there at all.

However, he didn't care. With his strength on the table, reaching his destination within an hour was definitely not a problem.

"The key is to get in the top two."

Kitahara Tsune looked at the other two minor crew members, "Why don't we just defeat them directly..."

Noticing Kitahara Tsune's gaze sweep over them, the two extras shuddered and hugged each other.

Just then, Gabra walked over, grabbed the two of them, dragged them aside, and began their open and aboveboard conspiracy.

Kitahara Tsune glared at the three of them and decided to take them out as soon as the match started.

It wasn't that he overestimated himself, but rather that with his current strength, beating these three people would be a bit too much of a bully.

Even Jabra's current Dao power is only 440, while Kitahara Tsune's Dao power alone is higher than the combined Dao power of the three of them.

While Dao power isn't a sophisticated assessment of combat strength, it can still represent physical attributes to some extent.

Not to mention, Jabra doesn't have a Devil Fruit, doesn't know Haki, and hasn't even developed any special Six Powers techniques yet.

Before Kitahara Tsune could think any further, it was already their group's turn. They were the third group, half an hour after the first two groups had set off.

"Are you all ready? It's about to begin!"

Lushchi, who had been observing all the students' subtle movements, ignored them.

If someone can get away with it through underhanded tactics, that's their skill.

Seeing that all four were ready, Raschi gave the order, and the competition of the third group officially began!

"Go! Stop him!"

Laschi's movements had barely finished when Kitahara Tsune heard Gabra shout.

The three of them didn't even take a step from the starting point; in an instant, they formed a triangle and surrounded Kitahara Tsune.

The remaining five groups watched the excitement from the sidelines.

Let's also take a look at this genius with 850 Dao power and see how strong he really is.

"There are three of us, even if it's you, you still have to..."

Before one of the extras could finish speaking, Kitahara Tsune's chop to the neck had already landed.

Before he could even finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.

"That was a quick shave!"

"I didn't even see what he was doing!"

"He stomped on the ground nearly 120 times in half a second."

Rob Lucci succinctly explained why Kitahara Tsune was so fast.

A typical "shave" only requires 70 stomps on the ground within half a second to complete a short-distance instantaneous movement, but Kitahara Tsune goes a step further, fundamentally accelerating the speed of the shave.

There are no special techniques involved; it's purely about powerful numbers.

Seeing that his companion had been knocked unconscious before he could finish speaking, another extra quickly used Iron Body and looked at Jabra, who was supposed to be standing behind Kitahara Tsune and ambushing him.

Where are they?!

Fortunately, after so much training, he couldn't find Gabra immediately, so he stopped hoping for him and instead focused his attention on Kitahara Tsune.

"it's useless."

Kitahara Tsune shook his head, stomped his feet hard on the ground, and instantly appeared in front of the other person.

He raised his right hand and thrust wildly at the opponent at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Finger gun!"

The sound of metal clashing kept coming from the other's body, like a body's groans.

However, this fierce attack lasted less than half a second...

The iron block that had been attached to the opponent was shattered with a loud bang.

The person was also knocked away, crashing through two trees before coming to a stop.

"Hey, this must be a lie, right? This is way too exaggerated!"

"I feel like he wasn't even using his full strength..."

"Can you please forget about feelings? Only Lucci can really get a chance against this guy..."

After dealing with the two minor characters, Kitahara Tsuneo turned to look at the tower in the center of the island.

The moment Kitahara Tsune made his move, Gabra had already escaped using "Shave".

"They're pretending to team up against me, but actually they want to use these two to waste my time."

As expected, Gabra is despicable and treacherous.

If these two can hold out for a few more minutes, given their familiarity with the island's terrain, Gabra might actually be able to take first place in the group.

"By the way, does this mean I've passed?"

Kitahara Tsune looked at the examiner, Raschi, who was standing to the side and asked.

Since there are only two people left now, the standard of being in the top two is practically meaningless.

"Ahem, it would be better to try and improve our ranking."

Lasch coughed twice, giving a subtle hint.

Having understood Laschi's hint, Kitahara Tsune seemed to grasp something and thoughtfully walked towards the tower in the center of the island.

However, his next step was into the air.

"Moonwalk - Leap Through the Air!"

It was as if there was a transparent staircase in the air, which Kitahara Tsune stood on.

Compared to the traditional Moonwalk, Moonwalk·Airwalk can achieve the effect of walking on flat ground in the air, but that's not the most important thing.

Most importantly, Moonwalk: Stepping into the Air can create synergy with other Six Styles through this effect.

such as……

"Moonwalk, Skywalk, Shave!"

In the blink of an eye, Kitahara Tsune's figure seemed to fly through the air, rushing straight towards the tall tower in the center of the island.

All that was left was a stunned crowd.
