In the branch campus, two figures kept intersecting.
Although they were competing in swordsmanship, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not use swordsman slashes.
After all, that thing is too destructive. If you hit it just a few times, the entire campus will probably need to be overhauled.
After a long time, as the two people intertwined, a sword energy similar to a shock wave suddenly erupted in all directions.
"In less than a year, you are no longer much weaker than me in swordsmanship."
Taotu sighed as he took back the knife in his hand.
Before, when Sean was still in the training camp of his headquarters, he could manipulate him at will, but it had only been less than a year.
Although he has not become stronger than himself, he is definitely not much weaker.
Even if we insist on distinguishing ourselves, it cannot be done in a short time.
If he continues at this rate, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent next year.
I'm afraid that my sister's majesty will soon be gone...
Sean looked at his attributes. Su Ri'an's sword skill has increased by 78 today, which is not enough...
After all, Taotu has been training with her for almost ten days, and she doesn't have much time to stay here anymore.
so...
"Gion-sama, let's do it again!"
"I said, this early morning until the afternoon, you haven't had enough, so you want to drain me dry?"
"Young people have rare opportunities and are naturally full of energy. And there is a famous saying in my hometown..."
"What famous quote?"
Peach Rabbit asked curiously.
After all, every time Sean talks about famous quotes from his hometown, he always comes up with some weird words, which is quite interesting.
"There are only men who spread everything, and there is no useless woman who breaks the net."
"What do you mean?"
Taotu was stunned and didn't understand at all.
Of course Sean couldn't explain it to her, otherwise he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
All I have to say is that when it’s time for you to understand, you will understand naturally.
The whole Peach Rabbit looked confused.
Do you want to pretend like that?
------
It wasn't until night that Sean let Taotu go and returned to his office.
Take a look at the personal properties panel.
After the income doubled yesterday, the experience of cutting skills has reached 20850, and now it is 20980.
At the end of the day, it increased by 130.
Sure enough, when you fight against someone who is of equal strength or slightly more powerful than you, your experience will increase much faster.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I posted a high multiple of earnings, and I hope I can do better today.
"System, let's start today's settlement. The target is the experience gain from practicing the cutting technique."
[Ding, settlement is in progress, host, please wait...]
[Ding, the settlement is completed, today’s beheading experience gain is 130, the random multiplier is 87, and the host has received an additional beheading experience of 11180]
[Ding, the host's cutting skill experience is full, the level has been upgraded to 8, and the experience required for the next level is 100,000]
In an instant, Sean felt that he had a better understanding of Death's tactics.
Hiss, it’s really a big multiple, and it’s 78 as soon as it comes out.
Directly obtain more than 10,000 additional experience points.
It's definitely a bumper harvest.
"System, expand the personal panel."
[Ding, the personal attributes panel has been expanded]
[Special ability: Super speed regeneration lv.4 (280/3000)]
Level 8!!
If I fight Peach Rabbit again.
Sean felt that he might be able to capture her within half an hour.
Feeling that he had a deeper understanding of tactics, Sean made the above speculation.
However, there are also distressing things.
First, Taotu's warship will arrive tomorrow, and when she returns to her headquarters, there will be no one here to help her practice her sword skills.
Moreover, even if Peach Rabbit does not leave, the experience will not be as rich as the previous ten days.
Therefore, I have to find a more powerful swordsman.
Such as Rayleigh, Hawkeye, or someone with red hair.
Second, if you want to reach level 9, you need a full 100,000 experience points, which is not an easy task.
Unless you recruit those top swordsmen, you can train on your own for several months.
Obviously, this is unlikely at the moment.
Third, although the cutting technique has reached level 8, the other three items are only level 6.
By the standards of the God of Death, he is a serious partial subject student.
Only by comprehensively improving Zhan Fist and Zhan Gui can a Shinigami's basic abilities be brought into full play.
As for the Zanpakutō, although I already have a target after reading the Demon Manual, this matter is not urgent yet.
Because the Navy currently has no records of the two thunder-type fruits.
Just like the Thunder Fruit, it has not appeared for a long time.
Lu Qi had already arranged for someone to go check it out, and there was no point in being anxious.
------
The next afternoon.
Taotu led a group of sailors and stood at the port of the central island of the fortress.
Glazed eyes...
What the hell?
Forget about the non-mainstream appearance, the key is...
If I am mistaken, this ship is made of iron, right?
Can a ship made of steel float on water?
Are you crazy, or is the world crazy?
And, where is the sail?
Well, even if there is no sail, there is no auxiliary wheel for the dead zone.
Are you sure this ship can sail?
No, no, it seems that I was just watching this ship sail over.
OMG...
How is it done?
Not only Taotu was going crazy, but all the sailors under his command were going crazy.
"Sean, what's going on with this ship?"
"This is the new generation warship I commissioned Carrera Company to build!"
"A new generation of warships? Made of steel?"
"That's right, made entirely of steel!"
"Can this float on water?"
"You've witnessed it all with your own eyes, haven't you?"
Good guy...
Only then did Taotu realize what stupid question he was asking. Wasn't there already a steel battleship in front of him, floating on the water?
"What about the sail? How on earth would it move without a sail?"
"This is also a brand-new technology. Not only does this warship not need sails, but it can also reach a maximum speed of 18 knots. Of course, it is best not to continue to use the maximum speed for a long time unless necessary, otherwise it will cause damage to the power system. Normally
Just keep it at 13 knots."
Sean explained.
But Taotu was confused.
"By the way, although this warship does not need to rely on sails and is twice as fast as old warships, it also consumes energy to propel the ship, and this energy is..."
"What is it?"
"Cola!"
...
...
"You're talking about that drink called Coke?"
After being confused for a while, Taotu asked.
She knew about Coke after drinking it several times.
But isn’t this just a drink?
When did it become the energy needed for warships to sail?
"Yes, that's right!"
"Theoretically, if 10,000 bottles of Coke are poured into a warship before each voyage, it can maintain a voyage of more than 4,000 nautical miles."
"Wait a minute...you said 10,000 bottles?"
Didi didi, the calculator in Peach Rabbit's brain started instantly, 50 Baileys a bottle, 10,000 bottles...
Spend 500,000 Baileys on Coke every time you go out to sea?
Is there something wrong with you or is there something wrong with me?
"Yes, although the travel costs have increased a bit, this warship is fast. Isn't the speed more than doubled not as valuable as these Cokes?"
"Well, that's true. Anyway, just ask the marshal for reimbursement, and I won't have to spend any money!"
"That's right. Let's do this. I'll ask the boatmen from Carrera Company to take you aboard and familiarize yourself with the new ship."
"That's fine!"
Peach Rabbit nodded.
Then Sean called Barry, who had sent the warship over, and asked him to take Taotu to have a comprehensive understanding of the warship.
Otherwise, if the boat is given to her, she won’t know how to sail it...
I have to say that people in the pirate world have very strong learning abilities.
Originally, Sean thought it would take at least three days, but it turned out...
In just one day, Taotu said that his subordinates could master the control of the ship.
So, at noon the next day, Taotu planned to leave.
After all, she was supposed to return to the headquarters to report, but because of the sea king escorting the fleet to the Sixteenth Branch and the time to wait for the new warship, it was delayed for another month.
Now that the warship is in place, she naturally has to go back quickly.
"Sister Gion, I'll leave this guy to you. I promised old man Garp to send it to him."
Before leaving, Sean brought Luffy over.
Peach Rabbit also nodded.
After all, after staying in Branch 16 for so long, she had already heard about Luffy.
It won't be any trouble to take it with you, by the way, isn't it?
"Okay, I will hand him over to Lieutenant General Garp personally. Is there anything else?"
"No, but be careful on the road. The last time I caught this guy and sent it to Garp, Kaku was attacked by Dorag on the road. If you are attacked, contact me immediately. I have a way to deal with it in a very short time.
Arriving in time."
"Worrying about it, if I can't beat you, what's the point of coming here?"
Alas, can I say that I am better than you now?
Moreover, if we really encounter those strong men, if you and I join forces, we can contend for a long time.
If both of them really can't handle it, they can ask Bruno to go to the headquarters to find the general, right?
Although Sean thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out loud.
Otherwise, how can you explain that in just one day, you have become a lot stronger?
"Sister Gion, listen to my advice. If you encounter an opponent you can't deal with, just contact me immediately. I have a way to deal with it!"
"ok, I get it!"
Seeing Sean's serious expression, Taotu finally nodded in agreement.
------
Two days later.
Taotu finally realized the speed of this new warship.
It actually took just over two days to enter the windless zone from the 16th branch.
If it were the large warship I originally had, it would probably take about five days, after all, it can only travel at a speed of 7 or 8 knots.
I am becoming more and more satisfied with my new car.
It will be much easier to run long distances from now on!
Especially in windless areas
In the past, when naval warships passed through the windless zone, they could only rely on auxiliary wheels to move.
That thing, the slow one, can only reach a speed of about 4 knots.
but now...
"Lieutenant General, a pirate ship was spotted ahead. It's...impossible...damn it, how could they appear here?"
Inside the bridge, the commodore held a telescope and suddenly discovered something.
He immediately reported to Taotu, but when he saw the flag of the ship clearly, he stuttered, with disbelief written on his face.
Seeing the Brigadier's appearance, Taotu snatched the telescope from his hand and looked over.
Could it be that Sean really predicted that that guy Dorag wanted to rob Luffy again?
But the next moment, Taotu's eyes suddenly widened.
"The Red-Haired Pirates, the Four Emperors Shanks!!"
