Chapter Thirty-Nine: Take Prisoners from Push City as Training Partners
Although it is a second-hand uniform, at certain times, it can still save your life.
It was also from that time that Wood deliberately avoided Yu Zhiliu and avoided contact with him alone.
It wasn't because he was afraid of the opponent, but because Wood didn't want to conflict with the opponent prematurely and destroy the goodwill he had finally built up in Push City.
Although Ame no Shiru is said to be someone who can rival Magellan, the strongest director, you must know that it is not twenty years later.
As for the Ame Shiru that Wood met for the first time, although the other person gave him a strong feeling, it was definitely not dangerous.
In terms of swordsmanship, there is no doubt that the opponent is also at the level of a "Swordsman" or even above it, and is slightly better than Wood.
But if he puts all his money on the line, Wood feels that he should be sure to have a 50-50 tie with the current Yu Zhixiliu.
As for Magellan, Wood currently has no chance of winning.
Without him, the opponent's "Poisonous Fruit" ability is quite inexplicable. Wood has not yet learned the "Armed Haki". When encountering this kind of superhuman type that is comparable to a natural type fruit, it is basically incomprehensible.
Wood met Prison Chief Saludes because of previous events. As for Jailer Chief Sadie, when he entered Impel Down City to pick up prisoners for execution, he was regarded as an escaped criminal by the Minotaur Beast, the Jailer.
.
Although Jailermon's strength is good, his IQ is obviously weak. The Minotaur, who couldn't understand Wood's explanation, gave Wood a mace with his backhand.
In order to avoid the premature death of the pirate who was about to be executed, and causing himself to take the blame for no reason, Wood naturally chose to resist at that time, and beat the Minotaur to the ground with his bare hands!
After hearing the sound, Little Sadie also came with the other three Jailer Beasts. Although they ended up fighting, Wood also got to know Little Sadie.
And in the next six months, Wood seemed to be regarded as one of the like-minded friends by Sadie because he liked him.
In the past six months, he has become a frequent visitor to Impel Down City. Both the Prison Beast and the Jailer Beast in Impel Down City regard him as a mature face.
Even though he is not very intelligent, he still regards him as one of his own in the city.
As for the naval squad stationed in Impel City, although Wood still maintains the navy's establishment, they have even forgotten about Wood.
As the prison commander, Saludes commands Bruggery, Sphinx and other prison officers, and has great power at level 1~level 2.
Little Sadie is the chief warden, with the same power as the warden, and controls the prisoners at level 3~level 4.
Wood made friends with the prison chief, Saludes, and the jailer, Little Sadie. The purpose was actually not simple at first.
Rather than sitting in a cubicle doing boring clerical work, Wood is worried that over time, his body will be depleted and his strength may even decline.
As for why he said he likes the atmosphere of Impel Down City, the reason is that the prisoners imprisoned in Impel Down City are not just prisoners for Wood, but excellent sparring partners!
Don't forget, anyone who can be captured into Impel Down City is considered a person to some extent. Even a guy with a bounty of only a few million Baileys is not worthy of entering here.
Moreover, the people gathered in the city are criminals from all over the world. Among them are not only martial artists and swordsmen, but also Devil Fruit users and even fish-man karate masters.
Because of the two previous life simulations and the two years of training in the naval academy, Wood's own strength improved extremely quickly.
However, the extremely rapid improvement of strength also has certain drawbacks.
That is, compared to Wood's rapidly improving strength, his actual combat experience is too little.
Strictly speaking, except for the time when he met the "Iron Arm Pirates", Wood has never really experienced a life or death crisis.
Excessively increased strength without matching combat experience and state of mind is not a good thing.
It's just like using a plastic bag to hold water. Although the water in the bag is no less than that of an iron bucket, it is not reliable at all. Even if it encounters a little external force, the water in the plastic bag will leak out instantly.
And finished.
Wood's soaring strength is the water in the plastic bag, and now he just wants to pour all the water into a sturdy iron bucket!
Regarding Wood's request to fight the prisoners, Saludice, who has a humorous personality but is extremely serious in his work, initially refused.
On the contrary, little Sadie agreed very happily, and every time Wood fought, she would be there in person.
It's not because little Sadie is cheering, but because she regards Wood as a pervert who also likes to hear people moan in pain... Oh no, he is a like-minded friend.
From Satie's point of view, the beatings of prisoners at level 3 and level 4 by the Jailormon are just like beatings, and the beatings by Wood are also beatings. There is not much difference between the two.
And because they have been beaten too much, the prisoners in level 3 and level 4 now instinctively become chickens when they see the four jailor beasts. Once they have no idea of resistance, little Sadie feels quite boring.
In comparison, Wood is still a new face to the prisoners in Impel Down City, and he is just a cliché who doesn't even deserve a navy cape. How strong can he be?
After working hard in the prison every day, and being pressed to the ground and rubbed by huge jailer beasts from time to time, the prisoners in Impel Down said that they also needed to vent their anger.
And since there are no women, the only way to vent excess anger and emotions is through fighting.
Wood can defeat the Minotaur, the jailer beast, and deal with the level 3~4 prisoners in Impel Down, so there will naturally be no problem.
But there are too many criminals imprisoned here, and Wood always fights with extremely exaggerated heavy-duty equipment.
Level 4 prisoners generally have bounties of nearly 100 million. In a one-on-one situation, although they cannot be Wood's opponent, with a large number of them, they can fight together.
Compared to the wild boars in the back of the Naval Academy, even level 4 prisoners with shackles on their feet are a lot more troublesome.
Compared to beasts with low IQs, the prisoners here are not only ruthless, but also despicable and insidious enough to know how to use detours to sneak attacks.
So when Wood went in to find these prisoners for training the first few times, he was beaten almost to death almost every time.
Little Sadie originally wanted the prisoners to moan, but instead ended up hearing Wood scream.
However, while being beaten, Wood himself also accumulated a lot of combat experience. His opponents included martial arts masters, swordsmen, karate masters, etc. After only half a year, Wood felt that he had improved more than when he was at the Naval Academy.
