NOVEL NEXT Chapter 165: Current Combat Capability
Half a month later, at the Reverse Mountain.
A pirate ship that was over a hundred meters long and had a hull that looked a bit like a warship from the Marines jumped down from the top of the mountain and crashed heavily into the water.
Boom!
Amidst the splashes of water, Gawain stood on the bow of the Raven, looked at the endless sea, and his grin almost reached his ears.
"We have finally arrived at the most dangerous sea in the world, a place where everything begins."
"The Grand Line!"
At the side, Kuro also showed an eager expression.
From the day he first met Gawain, they agreed to create a utopia here.
Now, half a year has passed, and they have finally arrived at this dream sea area.
Even Van Augur, who was usually the laziest, became energetic at this moment.
He raised his head and looked into the distance without any fear in his eyes because men are born to challenge the sea.
"The world's biggest stage."
Zoro's mouth curled up; he had already put on the two famous swords, Yubashiri and Sandai Kitetsu, he bought from the arms shop in Loguetown on his waist.
Including the Wado Ichimonji given by Kuina, Zoro now has three famous swords in his hands, and his desire to challenge the strongest swordsman in the world has reached its peak.
After a while, the ship gradually stabilized.
Gawain looked around but could not find any trace of Laboon.
He wanted to say hello to this persistent Island Whale but failed.
Nami screamed and ran over from the cabin while holding several navigation tools.
"Captain!"
When they were in the East Blue, these Log Poses were able to stably point in the same direction, But now they are rotating irregularly and cannot be used at all.
"These Log Poses don't work here."
Gawain nodded, not surprised by this: "The magnetic field of the Grand Line is unpredictable, and the climate is even more so. The only thing we can trust is the Eternal Pose."
Then Gawain took out an Eternal Pose that he had prepared long ago and threw it to Nami: "This is an Eternal Pose pointing to Red Rose Harbor that I bought at the auction house in Loguetown; it would be our first stop."
"It's only a few hundred miles from here. The supplies on the ship are more than enough."
"Once there, we will carry out the next wave of supplies and purchase enough Eternal Poses to head to our real destination, Drum Island."
"Okay."
Nami breathed a sigh of relief, but her mind was focused on the Eternal Pose in front of her, and she began to figure out its function.
After entering the Grand Line, the navigation tools that were commonly used in the East Blue have lost their meaning. After all, neither the weather nor the navigation issues here can be judged by common sense.
As the chief navigator of the White Knight Pirate, she must be responsible for the navigation of the entire ship. While ensuring the stability of the navigation, she also needs to avoid possible extreme weather conditions as much as possible.
It can be said that after entering the Grand Line, Nami is the one with the heaviest burden on her shoulders.
Soon, the Raven turned around under Nami's command and disappeared to the distant sea level in the direction indicated by the Eternal Pose.
At this time, the Island Whale, Laboon, had just emerged from the water.
It looked at the pirate ship going away with a hint of confusion in its eyes.
At this moment, Crocus also walks out of the lighthouse and watches the Raven disappear at a distant sea level. Then, he lets out a long sigh and relaxes completely.
At this time, he saw the puzzled look in Laboon's eyes, and he explained: "They are a group of pirates more dangerous than Hanafuda. If they have any intentions towards you, my old bones cannot protect you."
After speaking, Crocus turned his head and looked towards the sea level in the distance. All he saw was a young face, then he sighed and said: "But, after so many years, has a formidable guy finally appeared in the East Blue?"
"White Knight Gawain, the most righteous pirate in the East Blue… are you the one Roger is waiting for?"
The only answer he got was Laboon's shouting.
Just a few minutes later.
Laboon's huge body jumped out of the sea, hit the Red Linet, and slowly fell into the sea.
Bright red blood soon surged up from under the water.
When Crocus saw this scene, he sighed inwardly, but in the end, he said nothing. He just turned around and prepared medicine to heal the wound on Laboon's body.
At the other end, the Raven was moving along the set route, but everyone on board was completely busy.
The feedback from Experience Piggy Bank allows them to feel the feedback of results twice or even three times as soon as they start training.
The feeling of their bodies getting stronger little by little made everyone except Nami almost crazy and obsessed with training.
On deck, it was not just a few cadres headed by Kuro who were shirtless and constantly doing physical training.
Even the subordinates who followed Gawain and others on the voyage carried their fitness equipment, walked onto the deck, and started lifting weights crazily with their upper bodies naked.
"Ha!"
For a moment, the deck was bustling with activity, and at a glance, it was full of strong men who were sweating profusely.
It's really a bit eye-catching.
This scene almost made Gawain think that he had walked into a gym.
If it doesn't sound good enough.
He even wanted to change the name of the Pirate crew to White Knight Gym.
It's so fucking weird!
Gawain decided to ignore it and went straight back to the captain's room. What came into his eyes was the familiar system panel.

[Rating: Gold, a strong man who has the qualification of a King!]
More than a month later, Gawain's own combat power has improved again.
Swordsmanship and physique have been upgraded by one level, respectively, and physique has reached level 14. It will reach level 15 soon and unlock new Features.
In terms of physique, Gawain can gain about 1,100 experiences per day, all added up.
According to this speed, his physique will reach the next level in two months.
Since only Kuro can provide experience in Armament Haki, the growth rate is slightly slower.
The same is true for the Red Dragon fruit. After all, the only one who can provide a Zoan-type Devil Fruit experience is the Nyaban Brothers.
What surprised Gawain was that after he left Raven Harbor, the experience points provided by the Nyaban Brothers did not decrease at all but even increased.
It is obvious that these two fat cats have put a lot of effort into their practice.
However, the best option is to find a Zoan-type leek with high enough potential.
In addition, the changes brought about by Kuro's awakening of the Armament Haki can almost be said to be immediate.
In more than half a month, his Armament Haki was upgraded to another level, with a significant improvement in both strength and total amount.
This is also what Gawain is looking forward to the most.
As long as the Armament Haki reaches level 5, the first related feature will be unlocked, and that step will be a real qualitative change.
The Conqueror's Haki previously had Fujitora as an experience package, but now, after Fujitora left, it has fallen into stagnation again.
Gawain was not discouraged by this, as there were many strong men in the Grand Line who could fight with him or even suppress him completely, not to mention a leek who was proficient in the Conqueror's Haki.
Thinking of this, Gawain had a rough idea of his current combat capability.
Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea today, the only ones who can suppress him are Hawk Eyes and Kuma.
The former is recognized as the best in the world, while the latter can be called having a plug-in ability.
Gawain's gaze passed through the window and fell on a bunch of leeks.
===========
Guys, I'll be reducing the updates for each novel to one chapter a day for a week. I'm currently confined in the hospital with a positive diagnosis of amoebiasis. I might have gotten it from drinking water at a restaurant I visited yesterday. Please be careful about where you drink water; you might end up like me.
P.S. There's no danger to my life; I'll just feel weak during this time, and I'll experience abdominal pain.
