Chapter 92: Wood: I actually let the sea go before
A few years have passed, and Gion has grown a lot again, and now the skill of using this move is obviously far better than before.
Not only are the number of afterimages created greater, but they are also more intense.
However, it is a pity that trying to take advantage of speed to gain an advantage over Wood is a wrong decision.
"When I used this move in the past, the attacks were dodged by you. I didn't understand why at first, until I also awakened this power.
Wood, with your current domineering power, can you still tell where I am?"
Gion, who was transformed into multiple afterimages, heard sounds coming from all around. It can be seen that while she was speaking, her figure was still moving at a high speed, which was why this phenomenon was caused.
A few years later, with Gion's talent, it was impossible for her not to comprehend Haki, and not only "Seeing and Hearing Haki", she even realized "Armed Haki" one step ahead of Wood.
It's just that compared to "Informed Haki", Gion's "Armed Haki" is just getting started, and it doesn't have much effect in actual combat.
It was only after he understood the "Haki of seeing and hearing" that Gion finally understood why Wood could always predict his attacks in advance when he and Wood were sparring in the past.
For the "Swordsman", the domineering effect of the sight color is far stronger than that of the armed color, and Wood actually realized this power when he was in the naval school, and he was only sixteen years old at the time!
While sincerely admiring Wood's terrifying talent, Gion felt unwilling to give in, so he trained himself hard in the past few years, in order to one day be able to avenge his shame.
I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, but both sides fought with such a stance.
The "Cunning Rabbit" who has been trained by Gion for a long time has already tried the water with many people before. Even for those who have awakened the "Historical Haki", it is not easy to completely avoid her attacks now.
.
It's a pity that what Gion doesn't know is that for ordinary people's "sense and color haki", the speed Gion is showing now is indeed beyond the range of perception.
But Wood's knowledge-based domineering spirit is no longer ordinary knowledge-based domineering power.
In the eyes of others, Gion's speed was indeed extremely fast, even forming afterimages that were not much different from his real body.
However, in front of Wood's fully deployed "Knowing Color Haki", all the loopholes in Gion's moves were clearly visible to him, and he could even see Gion's movement trajectory clearly.
Of course, Gion, which was destined to be won, had been slashed dozens of times like a storm in just a few seconds, but the result was still in vain.
Even Gion's final killer move called "Leaping Rabbit" was easily blocked by Wood, who was holding a long sword across his side.
"You seem to be quite surprised, but all this is true. In the past few years, you are not the only one who has improved in strength.
Maybe you have experienced a considerable degree of cultivation, but I believe that what I have endured does not need to be any less than that of anyone else.
Haki also has levels of strength and weakness. Unfortunately, my Haki of knowledge and color had a huge breakthrough not long ago."
Gion thinks Wood's talent is very strong? However, in fact, only Wood himself knows that his talent is actually ordinary, at least incomparable to real monsters like Gion and Qingzhi.
Half of the reason why he has grown so far is due to the plug-in system in him. As for the other half of the reason, Wood can say without any burden that it was all done by himself.
In a few years, he was very good at the naval academy. He endured twice as much training as other people every day, and even secretly went to the back mountain to practice.
After being assigned to Impel Down, Wood fought against the world's most vicious criminals day and night.
The first mission he carried out after that was another narrow escape from death in the Holy Land Marie Joa incident, where he faced hundreds of intelligence agents from the CP organization alone.
Although it only lasted a few years, Wood was either practicing or fighting. How could he not become stronger if his experience made him stronger?
The Straw Hat Pirates were separated for two years, and when they reunited again, they were no longer what they used to be.
Wood admits that he does not have the halo of the protagonist group, but the effort and hard work he put in are indeed ten times or a hundred times that of theirs!
If you don’t have enough talent, then you have to work hard to make it up! Hard work alone may not necessarily surpass genius, but if you do nothing, you will always be a salty fish.
"Gion, I will not choose to let go this time! If you want to defeat me, just this kind of awareness is not enough!"
As Wood spoke, he unbuttoned his jacket and cloak of justice and threw them aside.
Originally, the cloth jacket and cloak of justice would have been blown away by the sea breeze in the air.
However, Wood's coat and cloak did not. Instead, the moment they were thrown down, the clothes and cloak were immediately affected by gravity and fell at an alarming speed.
"boom------!"
As soon as the cloak and shirt fell into the sea, the sea, which was as calm as a mirror, suddenly exploded into waves hundreds of meters high.
Those who knew saw that what Wood just threw was clothes, and those who didn't know thought that what Wood just threw was a giant rock weighing several tons.
The reason why the jacket and cloak of justice are made like that is very simple. Because Wood added a lot of weight-bearing lead bars to the inner layer, Wood's cloak of justice has never been able to float like others.
Wood also wore this equipment when he fought against the Golden Lion Shiji.
It wasn't because he was trying to show off, but when he was at a disadvantage, Shi Ji didn't give him a chance to take off his clothes.
At that time, Wood was in the sea. Faced with the powerlessness caused by suffocation, it was already the limit for him to take out a pistol, let alone remove the weight-bearing equipment on his body.
Obviously because he is not the protagonist, Shi Ji did not use the conventional operation of the villain boss, chatting with himself for a few words before choosing to attack, but directly killed him when he was in an advantage.
"You have actually been fighting me in this state before!"
Looking at Wood's jacket and cloak of justice that he threw into the sea, even a fool like Gion could see that Wood did not use all his strength in the previous battle and even used a lot of water.
Judging from the splash of water, the equipment Wood just wore could not be so light at all, and Wood had been fighting with him with such a load before!
Gion was very angry because she felt that she was being underestimated. She obviously gave her best from the beginning, but Wood only started to take it seriously now.
"It's not surprising. In fact, I always carry that kind of weight when I move.
Do you know what this means? Gion, that is to say, when I competed with you at the Naval Academy, I also brought something like this with me.
Of course, because my strength at that time was not as good as it is now, the weight I carried was definitely not as heavy as it is now."
