One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Chapter 74 The Donquixote Pirates Reappear?! (Please Subscribe!)

With his camera Den Den Mushi in hand, Kitahara Tsuneo walked out of the office.

He didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time; he hadn't even said a few words before he had already achieved his goal.

In the following days, just as the Warring States Marshal had said, several meetings were held to determine the specific procedures and related matters.

A few days later, many of the photography Den Den Mushi were assigned to the training grounds in Marineford.

"Isn't this training plan wrong?"

"Is it even possible for a human to run ten laps around Marineford every morning?"

"This afternoon we'll have specialized training: a tour around the entire island of Marine Fondo, all within an hour?!"

The navy personnel who had come out of curiosity were dumbfounded when they saw the content on the newly displayed photographic Den Den Mushi in the training ground.

Almost none of the training exercises on the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) were feasible for an average naval soldier.

Is giving them such a training plan overestimating their abilities?

Just as they were dumbfounded, Kitahara Tsuneo came over carrying a new videotape.

"Sorry everyone, the content here is wrong." Kitahara Tsune looked at the dumbfounded naval soldiers around him and smiled apologetically.

"I knew it, none of them could finish it."

"That's too harsh, it really should be replaced."

The surrounding navy personnel all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Those were the goals required for advanced training after completing the basic training," Kitahara Tsune said, stuffing the new video recording into the shell of the camera Den Den Mushi. "Now, this is the basic training."

The video Den Den Mushi blinked, and a brand new target appeared on the projection.

The training content is basically one-third of the previous training plans.

Kitahara Tsune cleared his throat twice and said, "This is just part of the training outside of class. If you want to cultivate and become stronger, these training plans can be of some reference value."

Indeed, at the meeting a few days ago, Sengoku specifically emphasized that the recorded courses must be conducted outside of the navy's daily training.

In other words, these courses are specifically recorded for people who want to make a difference in the Navy but don't know how to become stronger.

Kitahara Tsune did not object, since it was clearly unrealistic to force its implementation across the entire navy.

He has only recorded three training sessions so far: basic training, advanced training, and intensive training.

Basic training and advanced training both aim to improve the physical fitness of the navy, while intensive training teaches some techniques related to the Six Styles.

After completing all training, an ordinary naval officer can generally reach the level of a lieutenant officer.

Of course, these training sessions are not that simple.

The reactions of those soldiers clearly demonstrate just how extreme the training regimen Kitahara Tsuneo designed was.

"Don't worry, everyone. These training plans are just for your reference and are not for your daily training."

Kitahara Tsune smiled gently, his voice not loud but exceptionally clear to everyone.

Just one month after these photography courses were arranged, Kitahara Tsuneo's panel also quietly changed.

Name: Kitahara Tsune

[Occupation: CP9 Agent, Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Swordsman]

[Entries: ————Mastery of Observation and Contemplation (Green), Peak Swordsmanship (Blue), Nurturing Kindness and Influence (Blue), Fame Spreads Across the World (Blue), Teaching and Passing on the Teachings (Blue)————]

Feedback on the capture of the Donquixote Pirates and the recording of the video course has been arriving one after another.

The feedback from the first recorded photography course upgraded the "teaching (green)" to "preaching and imparting knowledge (blue)".

[Passing on the Teachings (Blue)]: When you guide others in their cultivation, you can help them cultivate faster. At the same time, when you teach related knowledge, you will have a deeper understanding of that knowledge.

However, perhaps because Kitahara Tsuneo didn't personally teach the students, the feedback from this entry was very weak.

Kitahara Tsune estimated that only by personally teaching the students would the feedback reach a normal level.

Meanwhile, with his numerous appearances on the video Den Den Mushi, given Kitahara Tsune's personality and appearance, the "Like a Gentle Breeze" entry unsurprisingly advanced.

【Nourishing the Heart (Blue)】: You are naturally approachable. Regardless of whether the other person is an intelligent being or not, they will instinctively feel favorable towards you.

Its transformative effect is that even non-intelligent beings, such as sea kings and beasts, will not attack Kitahara Tsune unless they feel threatened.

In addition, there is an improvement in Observation Haki and swordsmanship.

As many underground forces learned the details of the Tango family's annihilation, their understanding of Kitahara Tsune deepened, leading to an improvement in his Observation Haki and swordsmanship.

The advancement from [Sword Mastery] to [Sword Mastery] not only makes learning sword techniques faster, but also significantly increases the power of slashes while reducing stamina consumption.

As for the consumption, Kitahara Tsune tested it and found that it actually included the Armament Haki wrapped around it!

The biggest improvement for Kitahara Tsune was that "Emerging Talent" was changed to "Famous Throughout the World".

[Famous Throughout the World (Blue)]: Few on the high seas are unaware of your name. Your strength has been slightly increased and will no longer be affected by the region where your fame spreads.

After being promoted to a blue attribute, the attribute's strength enhancement effect is no longer affected by region and becomes a permanent effect.

On islands like Minion, where Doflamingo is located, the slight increase in strength gained from his initial display of talent had virtually no effect.

That day, after leading a group of naval personnel who had been training according to their advanced goals to complete their training, Kitahara Tsune returned to the training room and used Life Return to meditate.

In the following period, Zephyr would usually come here to provide him with training guidance on Armament Haki.

Today was no exception; as time flowed by, General Zephyr's footsteps echoed.

-

However, unlike before, Kitahara Tsune could detect a hint of anger in those footsteps.

As expected, upon seeing Kitahara Tsuneo, Admiral Zephyr couldn't contain his anger and exclaimed, "The Donquixote Pirates have been released!"

As soon as General Zephyr opened his mouth, he dropped a bombshell on Kitahara Tsuneo.

"Huh?" Kitahara Tsune frowned, surprised. "Wasn't he imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down? How come he's been released?"

Logically speaking, as a former Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo should be imprisoned in Level 6 Prison, just like in the original story, while also being protected from revealing secrets about the Celestial Dragons and being assassinated by other Celestial Dragons.

How come they've been released now?

"Zeff, what exactly happened?" Kitahara Tsune asked, looking at General Zephyr.

Zephyr shook his head angrily and said, "I only just found out about this myself. You deserve the most credit for capturing the Donquixote Pirates."

"Let's go ask the Warring States period together what exactly happened!"
