"Admiral Sand Crocodile, listen to me. They were scary to me at first, and I felt a little uncomfortable. But I was really bored, so I tried to shrink and walk into the city."
"At that time, the police came to warn me and even followed me nearby to monitor me. People on the street did not dare to approach me."
"But, their eyes are different from the people in Sunagakure Village. They don't have that kind of disgust, they are just simply scared and nervous. I can understand this."
"So I thought about it and helped them clear the gravel out of the city. I also spent money to buy some fruit every time and went back. Of course, at that time, I kept Bailey and asked the policemen to hand it over.
them."
"As time went by, maybe a month or so, the people in the city were no longer afraid of me. It wasn't until I punished a group of bastards who wanted to steal two children that I heard them cheering and thanking me!
"
In the vast desert about ten kilometers away from the 'Rainland'.
Shukaku, who had returned to his original shape, happily swung his tail behind him and moved forward while telling Crocodile enthusiastically about his experiences in the past few months while standing on his shoulders.
This starfish world is of course very good.
He just didn't know many people, so Shukaku couldn't find anyone with whom he could really communicate.
Crocodile, on the other hand, was smoking a cigar and patiently listening to Shukaku's stories.
Until the latter talked about the ‘sea mother’ from the Zero Demon World in the Santo River.
"Let me tell you, this 'Sea Mother' is a blue flying dragon about the same size as me, oh no, it should be smaller. It has a pair of wings, but she claims to be some kind of Yunlong, and there are a group of small ones.
Many dragons are said to be her dependents."
"And her ability to escape from water called magic. I think it's not much worse than Isofu. However, 'Haiyu' seems to be easily injured. If it really comes to a fight, I feel Isofu has a better chance of winning. His turtle shell is
Really hard!”
Crocodile allowed Shukaku to lead him to his territory.
At the same time, I was thinking about the ‘sea mother’.
Although he has never been to Zero Demon World.
But he had just fought against two top demons who used magic.
So for the power of magic.
It can be said that he has a deep understanding of it, after all, he almost died in the opponent's hands.
Because of this, Crocodile came up with the idea of learning magic.
Although he has Overlord-colored Haki, he can theoretically synthesize colorless Haki.
But colorless domineering is not a domineering state that can be easily achieved with overlord-colored domineering.
Of course, without overlord-colored domineering energy, colorless domineering energy cannot be synthesized.
In this case, if you are pursuing a higher level, it is best to switch to another major.
Crocodile felt that his talent in domineering was not very high.
After all, his core strength is still the ability of the Shasha Fruit.
And compared to the training in physical skills and domineering.
Really more interested in the development and practice of abilities.
Crocodile then told Shukaku his thoughts.
"You want to see the Sea Mother and learn magic?"
Shukaku, who was striding forward, was suddenly surprised.
"Well, my Devil Fruit ability has been awakened, and it has come to an end now. If I don't find another way, if I want to continue to become stronger, I can only rely on the gravity training field step by step to squeeze the body's potential and hone myself.
The will, that is, the two directions of physical skills and domineering."
Crocodile nodded solemnly.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, he has heard that Sakaski and Kuzan, after defeating Nahama and Lilith, actually learned the ability of each other to burn or freeze the concept of rules.
This has made him study and recall recently to see if he can understand it too.
After all, I had a long battle with those two demons.
Although I didn’t win, it should be possible, right?
It's just that a few months have passed, and he still hasn't mastered it.
But it is not without gain. The keen sixth sense is faintly reminding me that magic may be the right power for me.
"Then you will be disappointed. 'Hai Mu' told me that the human magic in their world cannot be used in a world without magic elements. And these rhyme dragons and blue dragons belong to Warcraft, and their blood has their own magic power, even if
Once it is consumed, it will be restored along with the energy.”
Shukaku shook his head and reminded kindly.
"It turns out to be like this. It seems that we can only wait for the Academy of Sciences to improve the 'Red Lotus Blood' as soon as possible, and then try to see if it can absorb the natural energy of cultivation like Kuzan." Crocodile said.
Kuzan had submitted his experience in cultivating natural energy to the headquarters a long time ago.
And this cultivation experience can be exchanged for reading by spending military merit.
At the same time, Kuzan can also receive part of each battle merit point.
It can be said that as long as there are enough people watching, Kuzan can lie back and wait for the merit points to be collected.
And for Crocodile, this kind of military exploits is certainly indispensable.
Not to mention that he is also a natural ability user.
This cultivation experience makes it very clear that the absorption of natural energy can significantly enhance the strength of one's abilities.
The most intuitive manifestation is that the temperature of his cold air is lower and the spread of cold air is wider.
He can even clearly sense the ice elements in the air and control them with his will.
In short, as long as the attributes of the absorbed elements are appropriate.
Then natural energy will be of great benefit to those with natural abilities without any harm.
At least that seems to be the case now.
"Natural energy?"
Shukaku glanced at the dark shadow of the territory that gradually appeared in his sight.
Then ask the other person for more details.
After hearing Crocodile's explanation, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked over his shoulder and smiled.
"What? Isn't this the magic created by those toads and snakes?"
Crocodile glanced: "Do you understand?"
"Of course, I should be the only tailed beast who has studied these ninjutsu. I have no choice but to make the old man of Six Paths unfair and give me the least chakra, so I want to learn the ninjutsu of those ninjas to improve my strength."
"Although they have very little chakra, their skills in using chakra are indeed exquisite."
Shukaku nodded repeatedly, with a very emotional expression.
"For example, it's also Wind Release. In the past, the most I could do was blow a strong wind, but those Wind Release ninjas can create wind blades, wind whips, and wind balls."
"When the amount of chakra is equal or even less, the wind blade can easily tear apart the pure wind, and the bombardment power of the wind ball must be stronger, such as my 'blank bomb'!"
Crocodile heard such a long speech and said helplessly: "Tell me the key points."
"The point is that the so-called senjutsu chakra is an imitation of our tailed beast chakra." Shukaku nodded again.
"Strengthening the perception of natural energy, then absorbing natural energy, and reaching a balance with the chakra in the body, so as to make the released ninjutsu more powerful. This is senjutsu, but we are essentially chakras filled with a large amount of natural energy.
Carat."
Crocodile frowned: "So you want to say, you can help me cultivate natural energy?"
"Yes, if you want to gain the ability to sense and absorb natural energy, I should have a way. As for whether you can cultivate your own power, there is no guarantee."
