Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

However, what he just used was not a skill, but rather something he had developed through long-term physical training, like swordsmanship and martial arts.

"If that's the case... then... Armament Haki shouldn't be a problem either!" With Reina's physical condition, awakening Armament Haki and Observation Haki shouldn't be a problem, and he has already mastered the methods of using them.

Sure enough, after using Armament Haki, seeing a layer of black Armament Haki enveloping the longsword, Reina smiled slightly and said to "himself," "Then... it's time for the offense and defense to take turns!"

"Clap!"

Having mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki, Reina finally defeated his opponent on the nineteenth floor.

But this time, he didn't go up the stairs immediately after they appeared; instead, he stood still and began to experiment.

"My Armament Haki is very proficient; I can't even use Armament Haki at the level of Ryuo! My Observation Haki has also returned to almost the state it was when I first awakened! The Six Styles that I used and practiced frequently before, such as Shave, Moon Walk, and Finger Pistol, are still relatively smooth, but my Tempest Kick and Iron Body are a bit weaker, and their power has decreased a lot! As for Paper Drawing, I can't even use it! It seems that my usual training is still a bit insufficient!"

After testing all the Haki and the Six Powers one by one, Reina shook his head and made a conclusion.

The abilities he can currently use are directly proportional to the amount of time he spends training and using them outside.

He frequently uses his body and retains memories of it, so he can use it here by relying on his body. However, outside, he only releases skills without truly experiencing or using them, so he cannot use them here either.

"Forget it, with these... at least I shouldn't get killed on the next floor!" After reviewing his abilities, Reina went up the stairs again to the next floor.

Chapter 477 Reina's Determination

"Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?!" Looking at the three tomoe in the other person's eyes and the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, Reina could only smile bitterly, feeling helpless.

"Hopefully it's not Hyōrinmaru in its Bankai form, otherwise there's no point in fighting at all!" Looking at the Hyōrinmaru in its normal state in the opponent's hand, Reina began to pray silently.

He originally thought that the opponent would only have three-tomoe Sharingan at most, in which case he would still have a fighting chance. However, he did not expect that in addition to the Sharingan, there was also Hyōrinmaru!

Let alone Hyorinmaru in his Bankai state, even in his Shikai state, it would be extremely difficult for him to fight in his current state.

"Clang!" Upon spotting Reina, the opponent immediately launched an attack on him. Reina did not dodge; he wanted to test the opponent's basic attributes first.

"Pretty fast~ and a bit stronger than me too, but still within my grasp." Just from the first contact, Reina sensed the other party's basic information.

"shave!"

"Storm Kick!"

He quickly moved behind the opponent and unleashed a powerful kick at him.

"Clang!" However, the opponent was clearly not someone who could be dealt with so easily. With a flash of Hyōrinmaru, Reina's Tempest Kick was directly shattered.

"Tch~ So they really are different from those flashy bastards down there? No, now they all look just like me, so saying that about them is the same as saying that about myself!" Seeing that the other party easily blocked his attack, Reina couldn't help but complain.

The two exchanged blows, and after a while, Reina gradually relaxed. Although his opponent possessed Hyōrinmaru, it seemed that he couldn't use Shikai, let alone Bankai.

However, the Sharingan with three tomoe is better at capturing and predicting movements, so his attacks can basically be easily neutralized by the opponent.

“It seems that using brute force to overcome brute force won’t work either…” Reina covered his weapon with Armament Haki and slashed directly at the opponent’s Hyōrinmaru, but it did not achieve the effect that Reina hoped for.

The way to deal with the Sharingan is simple: attack the opponent with speed that they can't react to, or defeat them with an attack that they can't block even if they see it.

Unfortunately, Reina can't do either of these things now.

As time went on, Reina's strength gradually waned. He knew that if this dragged on any longer, he would have no chance to turn the tide.

"Slash!" Reina's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly abandoned his defense, charging straight at his opponent.

An opponent who looked exactly like Reina also charged towards Reina with a blank expression.

"Thud!" Their longswords pierced each other's bodies at the same time.

"Hehe...you fell for it!" Reina used his muscles to clamp down on Hyōrinmaru, then drew another weapon from his waist and swung it directly at the other's neck.

However, the opponent had clearly seen through Reina's plan. The moment Reina swung his sword, he released Hyōrinmaru and dodged Reina's fatal blow.

"Hehe...right now...you don't have any martial arts..."

Before Reina could finish speaking, the other man pulled the weapon out of his body and then, as if nothing had happened, lunged at Reina again.

"Damn! I actually forgot..." Reina quickly used Shave to dodge.

The other side is indeed not as agile as Reina. They do not have their own consciousness, so even though their physical attributes are stronger than Reina's, they still cannot unleash their full potential.

However, they also have advantages, namely, they have no fear and are not afraid of getting hurt.

But just when Reina thought he was really done for, he suddenly noticed that the enemy chasing him was bleeding profusely from his wounds.

"Ha...it seems this is the only way!" Reina narrowed his eyes, pouted, and said unhappily.

He planned to drag the other person to death. The other person felt no pain, so he couldn't feel the blood flowing out, but the blood loss still had an effect on him, so Reina, with a Hyōrinmaru sticking out of his mouth, kept moving around.

Meanwhile, the gatekeepers who were chasing after them with ordinary weapons gradually slowed down.

"Die!" Seeing that his opponent had made a mistake, Reina turned around and swung his sword.

With a flash of light, a single strike severed the opponent's head.

After killing the gatekeeper, Reina sat down heavily on the ground; he was almost at his limit.

Looking at the vanished corpse and the treasure chest that had appeared in the middle, Reina smiled slightly and used all his strength to slowly crawl towards the treasure chest.

Congratulations! You have received 10 skill experience points!

Congratulations! You have obtained: 1 random mount fragments!

Congratulations! You have earned 10000 points!

"Rewards have been stored. You can choose to continue or leave. Leaving will grant you all current rewards, while continuing and failing will deduct half of your current rewards!"

Seeing the reward increased tenfold, Reina was really dumbfounded. He originally thought he would have to get at least a few more treasure chests to break even, but he didn't expect to break even after only the second treasure chest.

"Tsk tsk tsk... This is really a huge profit, but what is this mount fragment?" Seeing that the summoning beast fragment had been replaced with a mount fragment in the rewards, Reina was puzzled.

However, what he needs to do now is return to reality, as he is no longer in a good enough state to continue the challenge.

"leave!"

When Reina finished speaking, everything suddenly went black, and when he reappeared, he was in his own room, and his vision became blurry again.

"Congratulations! You have gained 110,000 skill experience, 1 random summon beast fragment, 1 random mount fragment, and 11000 points in the Tower of Trials! The rewards have been sent to your inventory. Please check!"

"Ouch~~ Ouch ouch ouch..." Reina was about to sit up and check the reward when he found himself in excruciating pain, especially in the place where he had been hit by Hyōrinmaru.

"Holy crap!" Without even checking, Reina knew that he had brought out all the injuries he had sustained inside as well.

"Am I going to die here?" Reina was both amused and exasperated. He thought his injuries would heal after leaving the trial space, which was why he had resorted to a life-for-life strategy. If he had known that the injuries he sustained in the Trial Tower would be carried over, he would never have done it.

At this moment, he said that his body was extremely weak, because after he left the trial space, the Hyōrinmaru that was stuck in his body also disappeared.

With a wry smile, Reina took a deep breath, used all his strength to unleash his inner power, and then promptly fainted.

He hoped to attract attention in this way.

"Hmm? Who is it?" Whitebeard, sitting in his room, frowned and asked as he sensed the powerful aura emanating from Reina's side.

"Huh?" At the same time, the captains also felt this aura. Marco, who was closest to Reina, didn't hesitate and flew directly towards the direction where he had felt the aura.

But when he saw that the place where the aura disappeared was in Reina's house, he was at a loss for words.

"What kind of trouble has this guy gotten himself into now?"

However, after he used his Observation Haki to sense Reina's house, his expression immediately changed, because he sensed that Reina's life force was draining away in the room.

Without thinking twice, he kicked open Reina's door again, and seeing Reina lying in a pool of blood, he immediately picked him up and flew straight to the medical room.

When Reina opened his eyes again, the first person he saw was still Marco.

"Awake?" Marco said irritably when he saw Reina open his eyes.

"Sorry to bother you!" Reina said with a smile.

"So what are you doing now? I just checked your injuries, it was caused by Hyōrinmaru, wasn't it? Playing with self-harm at home by yourself? Almost went too far?" Marco said with a hint of sarcasm.

Reina shook his head and said with a wry smile, "No, I found a way to treat my eyes... but... what do you mean by that? There was a little accident!"

He did find a way to cure his eyes: challenge the Tower of Trials!

He's only passed the twentieth floor and already received a reward of 10,000 points. Based on the previous ratio, wouldn't the thirtieth floor be worth 100,000 points? And the fortieth floor be worth 1 million points?

Although it will definitely get more and more difficult later on, at least we have a goal, right?

Moreover, he didn't know this time, but it will definitely be much better next time. He can also train in real life. Once he trains himself to be more powerful and his body masters more abilities, wouldn't it be much simpler?

"Oh? You found a way?" Whitebeard, who was standing nearby, asked immediately after hearing Reina's words.

“That’s right, big brother… that is to overcome yourself! As long as I can overcome myself… then the Sharingan may very well advance again!” Reina nodded and said.

"Conquer yourself? What do you mean?" the team captains asked, somewhat puzzled.

Just now at home, I entered the unique space of the Sharingan, where there was an exact replica of myself. However, I couldn't use the Sharingan, and many of my abilities were unusable, while the other person could. That's why I was injured by Hyōrinmaru!

"Such a strange thing? But you can't use your own abilities, while your opponent can. How are you going to defeat him?" Lakyo said, frowning.

"Perhaps this is why, over the years, only the Sharingan progenitor has successfully advanced through his own power! But at least it gave me direction... right? And I can use my Haki and the Six Powers of the Navy!" Reina grinned and said.

"So what are your thoughts?" Whitebeard pondered for a moment before asking.

"Increase your training!" Reina said, his eyes narrowing.

"Gurararara... Excellent! This is the Reina I know! I'll be waiting for the day your Sharingan advances!" Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

Chapter 478 Reina's Choice

Reina, back home, was helped to bed and slowly fell asleep.

This time, neither Marco nor Frank dared to leave him home alone, so they specially arranged for someone to take care of him.

The next day, Reina woke up early.

"Sir! Breakfast is ready. Would you like to eat now?" The woman in charge of taking care of Reina was an older sister whom Frank had hired from the town on the island.

"Sister Isa, please help me up!" Reina struggled for a moment, but found that he couldn't get up at all, so he had no choice but to say to Sister Isa, who was in charge of taking care of him.

“But… sir… Lord Frank said that you should rest in bed and not move around!” Sister Isa said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, it's alright. I'm a doctor myself, I know more than that Frank guy! Just help me up!" Reina said with a smile.

His injuries were indeed severe yesterday, but more so due to excessive blood loss. Thanks to Marco's treatment, he is much better today.

“Well… alright!” Sister Isa hesitated for a moment before nodding in reply.

Clearly, she knew who Reina was.
