I, a Celestial Dragon!

Two days later, on the coast of Little Garden, Gawain waved goodbye to the meteorologist who stayed behind in Little Garden and the members of the Black Ice Platform who were responsible for the protection.

At the same time, Dongli and Broki also stood next to the members of the Black Ice Platform, waving at Gawain.

"Thunderous Celestial Dragon, we will miss you!"

"Yes, it's a pity that the island-eating beasts haven't come to the small garden these days, otherwise we would definitely let you taste the taste of the island-eating goldfish!"

"As for the techniques of dominating the country, you have secretly learned a lot of them, but it doesn't matter, just learn them!"

"Yes, the Hegemony techniques are advanced techniques developed by our ancestors for our bodies. After you learn them, what you use will not be Hegemony's techniques, but your own martial arts!"

"Thank you for the wine you left for me. It tastes great. I haven't had any strong liquor for many years. There is only fruit wine in the small garden!"

“We must come play again!”

"We will take care of these stations for you, don't worry!"

"Ah, so sad, I have to say goodbye to my friend again, wuwuwu!!!"

"If you pass by, please help us take care of our people!"

"Goodbye, Gawain!!!"

……

On the Xuanniao, Gao Wen, who had just boarded the ship, smiled knowingly. These two enthusiastic giants actually shouted out the effect of a group with just two mouths...

However, the kindness and simplicity of these two giants really touched him.

As the Xuanniao started up, Gawain waved his hand gently as he looked at Dongli and Broki which were gradually shrinking in the distance.

At this point, the Xuanniao embarked on its journey to Whiskey Mountain.

……

……

……

Three days later, in the evening.

Zefa was sweating profusely, and he held Gawain tightly in his right hand.

On the side, looking at Gawain's miserable appearance, Hancock raised her chin in dissatisfaction.

She just raised her finger and yelled to Zefa.

"Master Zefa, please put Gawain down for me!

You are such a man with no martial ethics!

If you hadn't allowed Gawain to leave the battle and use the Conqueror's Haki, you wouldn't have been able to touch Gawain's finger even if you chased him for ten whole sunsets!"

"cut!"

After hearing what Hancock said, Zefa curled his lips in disdain.

"Love-brained guy, don't mind the affairs of this old man and Gawain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa released his mechanical arm and placed Gawain on the messy deck.

Seeing Gawain fall to the ground, Hancock was no longer in the mood to argue with Zefa. She hurried to Gawain's side and treated his injuries.

While bandaging the wound, Hancock kept muttering in pain.

“Lord Gawain, why do you always have to fight with everyone in a way that ties your own hands and feet?

I feel really sorry for you when you are like this.

Besides, a battle with limited hands and feet cannot replace actual combat, right?"

"Haha."

Listening to Hancock's words, Gawain smiled and patted Hancock's hand.

Then, he took two deep breaths to free himself from the feeling of weakness that was being gripped by the seastone.

Gawain said softly as he sat up with Hancock's help.

“There’s nothing I can do. Although my overall strength is far from reaching the monster level, many of my abilities are indeed beyond the standard.

If I don't tie my own hands, whether it's Thunder or Conqueror's Haki, these abilities may not guarantee me victory, but they have given me the capital to not fail."

As he spoke, Gawain waved to old man Zefa.

"That move of Master Zefa just now was great. Was it foreseeing the future? Logically, you shouldn't have caught me at the last moment.

Even before you did it, my mind net had no clue of your next move."

"more or less."

Zephyr nodded slightly.

"Even if the speed of the thunder is not used for escaping, but only for fighting, it is still a huge trouble.

In addition, if your mind network does not use life return to control brain activity, and you cannot gain insight into some future pictures.

Even if I have a seastone manipulator, it would be hard for me to cause any trouble to a speed-type opponent like you."

Having said that, Zefa came to Gawain, squatted down, and gently patted Gawain's arm with his left hand.

"As for me asking you to tie your own hands and feet, well...

You have to know that speed can indeed make you thrive in today's field, but there is also one point that all the monster-level strongmen in the sea are pure warriors without exception!

Speed ​​can only protect you from being defeated by monsters.

For monster-level strongmen, no matter how fast you are, as long as you still want to attack them, they can make mistakes countless times and can also be attacked by you countless times.

On the contrary, if you make a mistake once, then you..."

Zefa couldn't help but pause for a moment. Looking at Gawain who was listening attentively in front of him, he suddenly remembered the past.

At that time, he also had a speed-type disciple. Not only was that guy's speed comparable to Gawain's, but in terms of straight-line speed, that guy was even faster than Gawain!

Thinking of this, Zefa couldn't help but raise his hand. He instinctively wanted to ruffle Gawain's hair.

But just as his palm was approaching Gawain, he suddenly remembered Gawain's identity.

For a moment, Zefa couldn't help but hesitate. Even if Gawain had never cared about his status on the ship, it couldn't change the fact that he was a world aristocrat!

Thinking of this, Zefa immediately wanted to retract his outstretched left hand, but just as he was about to retract his hand, Gawain, who was observant of his words and expressions, had already seen through his mental activities.

So Gawain stood up calmly, and after he stood up, Zephyr's hand, which had not yet been removed from his head, naturally fell on his head.

Feeling the smooth hair in his hand, Zefa was slightly stunned.

The next moment, looking at Gawain's smiling eyes, Zefa let out a sigh of realization, then rubbed Gawain's hair calmly.

"Come on, little brat. You must acquire the strength to realize your dreams as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, Zefa smiled and took his hand back, then he patted Gawain on the shoulder again.

"Sense can only teach you this much today. My health is really not as good as it used to be.

You should go to Dr. Kuleha for treatment. You still need to study the Observation Haki with Brother Xiao in depth tonight."

"Don't worry, I'm fine, but you, old man.

Even though you have a new right hand, you shouldn't be so excited to use it all the time, right? You have to take care of your body."

Gawain responded with a smile, then walked towards the dinner location with Zefa and Hancock.

However, they had only taken a dozen steps when the sky in the distance suddenly turned dark!

Just as the sky was getting dark, a violent gale began to howl. The gale reached the strength of a typhoon, causing everything on the deck of the Xuanniao to fly in the wind.

In the distance, a smiling figure was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the Xuanniao ship, watching the sunset, and suddenly clapped his hands below him.

The next moment, all the things that were about to fly all over the sky, floated calmly in the air.

At the same time, Big Bear, who was happily eating a sandwich at the table, suddenly picked up Gawain's Quotations and rushed towards the observation deck of the Xuanniao.

Standing on the top of the lookout, after taking a look at the slightly panicked lookout, Big Bear calmly raised his right hand.

At this moment, an extremely huge meat ball directly enveloped the entire Xuanniao!

Looking at the meat ball barrier that now replaced the sky, Gawain nodded approvingly.

"In just a moment, a meat ball large enough to cover the entire Xuanniao was created!

Big Bear, your fruit ability has become more and more advanced!"

On the distant observation deck, Big Bear heard Gao Wen's words and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency is right, I have indeed made some progress recently.

Perhaps, that’s because I no longer need to focus on things that disturb my mind.”

As he was speaking, the hurricane near the Xuanniao disappeared under the power of Big Bear. Then, with the adjustments made by Franky to the Xuanniao, the Xuanniao finally spread its wings!

When its wings spread, the Xuanniao slowly left the sea. With the help of the hurricane, the Xuanniao carrying the island flew all the way.

When the Xuanniao took off, Daxiong continued to speak.

“However, although the range of my ability has been expanded, within this range, if I want to knock back a real attack, my physical strength will be greatly depleted.

Therefore, this kind of meat ball with a coverage area of ​​several kilometers can only beat the wind and rain without much impact. "

After saying that, Big Bear regained his composure, but his words completely shocked the young people including Ace.

Looking at the Xuanniao, which can still remain elegant even in the face of a hurricane that covers the sky.

Ace said in shock as he and his crew were huddled in the training grounds.

“Is this… the strength of the officers on this ship?!!

It has always been Rayleigh and Zephyr who practice with us!

The performance of those two old men is always only slightly better than ours!

As a result... this ability to easily cover an entire island, and the insight to manipulate every small object on the ship that was blown by the wind in an instant...

Can humans really be this strong? ! ! "

As he spoke, a bright light flashed in Ace's eyes!

"This is awesome, haha, once the hurricane is over, we must ask each of them for advice!

If every cadre had this kind of ability, we would be so lucky!!!"

……

In the distance, Gawain, who was supported by Hancock, heard Ace's words and couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

At this time, even though Ace has been on the ship for more than a month, he is still a little kid who doesn't know his place.

After all, although the sparring between them on the boat was intense enough, the intensity was far from enough.

Intensity, of course, refers to the power placed in every strike during sparring, while severity refers to the destructiveness contained in every strike.

This is the Xuanniao. Who would want to actually blow up the Xuanniao in a sparring match?

Ace was quite clear about his own strength. His previous clash with Dongli in the small garden had left Ace amazed.

But apart from himself, the other officers on the ship rarely showed their strength, so Ace didn't understand them at all.

Thinking of this, Gawain smiled slightly. Sooner or later, Ace would understand them.

Because according to Gawain's observation, Ace's strength has been increasing recently. After eating the Flame-Flame Fruit, it is estimated that in half a year at most, he will be able to fight Jinbe on equal terms!

Come to think of it, the natural type has always been the fruit with the fastest improvement in strength in the early stages of the One Piece world.

This can be seen through many things.

Many people say that the animal type's strength improves quickly in the early stages, but in fact, most of the animal type, including the mythical beasts, are late bloomers.

Even Teacher Kai was already a well-known master before he went out to sea to join Rocks.

But when he ate the Fish-Fish Fruit in the Rocks Pirates, more than 20 years passed before he truly possessed the power of the Pirate Emperor.

And Ace, an ordinary son of the Pirate King, could only fight on equal terms with the lieutenants of the navy before entering the Grand Line.

Ace's path is relatively normal for a human genius, when he does not have a special physique or special fruit.

Ace was supposed to be like his father, Pirate King Roger, who traveled on the sea for more than ten years, became a Shichibukai-level warrior in his twenties, and look forward to the strength of the vice-emperor level, and then after the age of thirty, leap to the monster level.

Even if Ace is a genius, and he is so talented that he can learn Armament Haki in three days, it will still take him at least ten to twenty years to be qualified to become the King of Generals.
