Chapter 3 Grown up Wood, the girl on the island (seek to follow up)
In a year's time, life on Hongye Island still has not returned to its former peace. With the advent of the Great Pirate Age, more and more people are heading to the Grand Line.
Today, Hongye Island has lost most of its original residents. The frequent landings of pirates on the island have caused most of the people on the island to leave and move to other islands not far from here.
During this period of time, Wood's system also seemed to be frozen. Except when releasing tasks, there was no movement at all at other times.
If it hadn't been for the second mission issued to it before, Wood would have even doubted whether his "plug-in" was completely offline.
After a previous simulation, Wood gained swordsmanship and insights that were close to that of a "swordsman".
However, although he has the corresponding sword skills and state of mind, and has the swordsmanship level of "cutting iron", Wood is completely unable to achieve the actual cutting of iron.
In the final analysis, although he has some skills in swordsmanship, his physical fitness is really poor.
After three months of swinging an ax to chop trees day and night, and the high-intensity exercise, although Wood's physical fitness has improved a lot, it is still a little stronger than ordinary people.
Therefore, during this year, in addition to absorbing the relevant swordsmanship insights in his mind, Wood spent most of his time polishing his body and conducted quite brutal physical training every day.
A year ago, Wood still looked like a rather thin young man. However, a year later, Wood's skin not only shows a healthy wheat color, but it can also be seen from his shirtless upper body. Now
He is no longer what he used to be.
His healthy wheat complexion shimmers in the sun, and his streamlined muscles look even more explosive. His height has also jumped from the original 1.8 meters to about 1.9 meters now.
During this period of time, Wood, who was practicing alone, also tried to train his body to a superhuman physique like the CP organization of the World Government, and thus learned the so-called "Six Forms of the Navy".
However, it turns out that although long-term exercise has made his physique much stronger, even though he knows the principles of "Navy Six Forms", he still cannot master the key points.
There are two reasons for this. Wood believes that there are two reasons. One is that his physical condition is still far from the standard for mastering the "Six Forms".
The other one is the so-called "Navy Six Styles", which may have a special exercise method.
After all, the "Sixth Marine Style" is also the combat style of most naval officers. As a unique style of the navy, the possibility of successfully acquiring it is obviously not high for someone like him to go to the island to practice blindly.
If "Six Naval Styles" were so simple, then there would be quite a few pirates who have seen them, wouldn't most people be able to learn them in one go?
"Brother Wood, it's time for dinner. Come back for dinner soon."
Wood, who swam several nautical miles shirtless in the sea and completed this morning's physical exercise, saw a ponytailed little lolita carrying a vegetable basket on the coast. He suddenly smiled and splashed a lot of water with his hands.
Swimming to the shore at an amazing speed.
"Ain, didn't I tell you before? There is no need to bring lunch here.
This is so dangerous. What if we encounter pirates? The area around the island is not safe nowadays."
Wood, who swam back to the shore, tried to keep his movements as small as possible to avoid letting the sea water splash on the little girl's beautiful floral skirt.
"Brother Wood is good at lying. You promised Ai Yin the same way before, but every time you start practicing, you will forget the time and even stop eating all day long.
And Ain is not afraid of pirates. Anyway, with Brother Wood here, mere pirates are no match.
Brother Wood will save Ain from the bad pirates like he did a year ago, right?"
The girl who just called Wood is named Ai Yin. She is a cute girl about seven or eight years old with a blue ponytail.
Ain is also a resident of Hongye Island, and Wood saved her from a pirate gang a year ago, which prompted the system to be activated.
"Because I knew that Brother Wood was doing a lot of physical training every day like a cultivator, my mother specially cooked a lot of meat dishes.
There is also this fruit, but Ai Yin picked it by herself in the forest today, and it tastes really sweet."
Because Ain's father died to protect Ain when pirates landed on the island before, so now Ain only lives with her mother.
Wood completely conforms to the basic setting of a time traveler. He is alone without a father or mother. In order to repay Wood for saving Ain's life, Ain's mother Stia also took Wood in.
Because of the reason of living together, and the bonus of saving Ain's life, Wood's relationship quickly became as harmonious as family members.
Her father was killed by pirates, and Ai Yin undoubtedly hated pirates the most. However, she was very fortunate that after her father left, she had a powerful brother who also cared for her very much.
After the Sims acquired the "Iron Cutting" level swordsmanship, Wood did not rush to show off his strength, but kept practicing secretly.
After all, there are countless strong people in this sea, and his current level is really not enough.
The result of previous Sims was that they died young because they were not strict enough.
This time, Wood also made up his mind that he would not stand out until his strength reached a level where he could be confident in the first half of the Grand Line.
However, sometimes, things just don't go as planned.
More than half a year ago, after a group of pirates came ashore, they not only looted the island again, they even targeted the beautiful mother and daughter Stia and Ain, intending to capture them and sell them to the slave market.
Seeing that the "family" he had been with day and night was about to be captured, Wood naturally couldn't survive any longer, so he easily killed several pirates in front of him with his backhand.
However, he did not die. Among the several pirates he killed, one of them seemed to be a cadre of the pirate group. His strength was quite outstanding, but he ran too far before he could kill him.
If the pirate captain of another pirate group is still indifferent after killing the cadres of his pirate group, then how can he be the boss and lead the group?
So the captain of the pirate group at that time also took action against Wood, and after a fierce battle, the captain of the pirate group also died...
The pirate captain who had a bounty of 8 million Baileys was actually killed by a kid who looked like he didn't even have a hair on his head.
After seeing Wood's immature but ruthless face, the other crew members of the pirate group also showed a look of fear, and finally fled in a hurry, not even thinking of collecting the body for the boss.
No.
It was also through this incident that the people of Hongye Island learned that Wood was no longer what he used to be.
If most of the people on the island hadn't grown up watching Wood, they wouldn't even be able to believe that the boy in front of them who was only in his teens and could kill a big pirate with a bounty on his head was the Wood they knew before.
