One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

In the jungle.

Gabra hopped among the treetops, glancing behind him every now and then.

"Hopefully, those two can stall for time a little longer..."

However, Gabra didn't expect them to last long.

He knew exactly what 850 Dao power value meant.

Even with 800 power, Lucci couldn't last more than ten rounds if he got serious.

Not to mention Kitahara Tsuneo, who is even above Lucci.

Gabra was already quite satisfied that those two guys could get Kitahara to use three moves.

"Those two guys seem pretty good..."

Seeing that Kitahara Tsune hadn't caught up for a long time, Gabra's tense heart relaxed a little.

If they haven't caught up by now, then his first place in the group is practically guaranteed.

Just as Gabra was secretly pleased, Kitahara Tsune was speeding above the dense forest.

The speed was so fast that even Lucas, a veteran member of CP9, was surprised.

However, such superb skills come at a price.

Moonwalk, Skywalk, and Shave are essentially a combined application of Moonwalk, paper drawing, and shave.

Using even one of the six techniques is physically demanding, let alone using three at the same time.

Even Kitahara Tsune cannot be used for extended periods.

Fortunately, he has the entry for "Swift (White)".

Swift (White): You are faster, but your stamina is slightly reduced when moving.

With this entry, he can use the skill more freely without having to conserve his stamina.

Judging from Gabra's speed, Kitahara Tsuneo stopped to rest twice as needed.

As Kitahara Tsune had predicted, he finally saw Gabra during his third rest stop just before reaching the finish line.

Kitahara Tsune is now only a few hundred meters from the finish line.

"Finally, you've arrived..."

A deep voice sounded in Gabra's ear, startling him who was already on high alert.

"Who?!"

He jumped back suddenly and finally saw Kitahara Tsuneo, who was not far from the finish line.

Kitahara Tsuneo stood atop a giant rock, arms crossed, looking down at Gabra.

"You...how did you get here? I didn't see you on the way here!"

Gabra stared at Kitahara Tsune in surprise, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Flying is faster than running, that's common sense."

Kitahara Tsune smiled, and the next moment, he vanished from the spot.

"Storm Kick!"

A crescent-shaped slash descended from the sky, the blue slash wave compressing the air, the powerful air pressure causing Jabra's body to tremble.

"Damn it! I refuse to admit defeat!"

Knowing that this attack was unavoidable, Gabra forced his body to move, channeling all his strength into every muscle in his body.

"Iron block!"

The blue slashing waves slammed heavily onto Gabra's iron block, leaving cracks where his feet were standing.

"ah!!!"

Gabra roared, his suit ripped by his bulging muscles, and finally withstood the powerful kick.

"Haha, it's nothing special..."

Ignoring the huge wound on his body that stretched from his shoulder blade to his waist, Gabra raised his head and looked at Kitahara Tsune with a smile.

"Not bad, you managed to withstand my Tempest Kick. Your Iron Body technique is quite good."

Kitahara Tsune raised an eyebrow and said.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

Kitahara Tsuneichi stepped into the air and moved at high speed, unleashing dozens of slashing waves at Jabra.

Faced with this dense barrage of slashes, Jabra couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

He shouted at Kitahara Tsune, simultaneously disarming the Iron Block defense and running in the opposite direction of the finish line before the storm kicks could strike him.

"You won! First place is yours! I don't want to be injured and bedridden for a whole year!"

Seeing that Gabra had given up, Kitahara Tsuneo stopped making things difficult for him, shook his head, and lowered his hands from his chest.

"Finger gun - air bullet".

An invisible air blast was launched from Kitahara Tsune's fingertips and collided with Arashi's kick.

Although these air blasts are far less powerful than the Tempest Kick, they still slow down the speed of the Tempest Kick's slash wave.

A few seconds later, before Lan's kick could hit its target, it naturally disappeared into thin air.

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Seeing that he was rescued, Jabra ran towards Kitahara Tsuneo crying, "I must thank you properly!"

Looking at the exaggerated amount of tears, Kitahara Tsuneo looked disgusted.

Just as he was about to speak and ask the other person to stand further away, a sense of crisis suddenly crept into his heart.

"Finger Pistol - Wolf Fang Fist!"

A fist as hard as steel slammed into Kitahara Tsuneo like a cannonball, causing him to take a step back.

"Haha, the supreme sneak attack was a success!"

Looking at Gabra again, the exaggerated tears on his face were gone, replaced by a big laugh, showing the smug satisfaction of a successful sneak attack.

"How was that move...?"

Before Gabra could even show off for a few seconds, he realized that the feeling of hitting Kitahara Tsune was wrong.

"Iron Block, Empty Wood".

The finger gun, which had originally struck the opponent squarely, was instantly deflected as if by something, returning all the damage.

His prized "Finger Pistol Wolf Fang Fist" ultimately fell on his own fist.

The powerful counterattack was too much for his already battered body to bear, and Gabra's eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Sigh," Kitahara Tsune said, looking at Gabra lying on the ground, speechless.

If you're going to admit defeat, just admit defeat. Why go through all this fake surrender?

"You're so disobedient, I'll beat you up again later."

He shook his head, ignoring Gabra lying on the ground like a dead dog, and walked straight towards the tall tower in the center of the island.

The finish line was only a few hundred meters from where the two had faced off. The four people who had already completed the test, along with the examiner waiting at the finish line, were all dumbfounded.

They were already quite surprised when they first saw Kitahara Tsune's ability to fly.

Seeing Gabra arrive, I originally thought it would at least be a spectacular battle.

Unexpectedly, they completely crushed the opponent throughout the entire match.

Kitahara Tsuneo severely injured Jabra with just one Tempest Kick.

It then demonstrated its powerful defensive capabilities.

He's practically a monster without any weaknesses!

Of course, this is how it appears to those students.

According to the CP9 examiners, Kitahara Tsune's strength is indeed quite strong for his age.

Even from the perspective of overall strength, he barely meets the threshold of brigadier general.

"Congratulations, Kitahara Tsuneo, you have successfully become a member of CP9."

Seeing Kitahara Tsuneo walking towards the finish line, the examiner smiled and said to him.

Kitahara Tsune raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this only the second test?"

He hadn't even fought Rob Lucci yet, how did it end?!

Is the plan going to fall through?

"Yes, but as long as you pass the second test, you'll be considered a member of CP9."

As the examiner explained, he handed a huge full-head hood to Kitahara Tsuneo.

"This is a mask used to conceal one's identity during missions, and it is also a symbol of CP9."

"You call this a mask?"

Kitahara Tsune looked at the ridiculously exaggerated giant headgear and accepted it with a look of disgust.

He had only ever seen this kind of full-head hood when cosplaying.

"Do I really have to wear this?"

Seeing Kitahara Tsune's disgusted expression, the examiner felt a little embarrassed.

He also protested to his superiors about this thing, saying it was big and heavy, and that wearing it for a long time might cause cervical spondylosis.

Unfortunately, the higher-ups disagreed, saying it was a CP9 tradition, so they had to give up.

"Okay, actually, it's fine if you don't want to wear it..."

"That's what the examiner said."

This mask is more symbolic, a tradition from a very long time ago.

Come to think of it, even someone as senior as Mr. Ruschi hasn't worn a mask in a long time.

"That's good……"

Kitahara Tsune breathed a sigh of relief.

If he wears a mask, his cheat ability to turn other people's perceptions of him into entries will not work.

He specifically tested this.

He looked at the panel in his mind.
