Cliff House,
Luffy, Ace, and Sabo stood respectfully in front of Chu Xiao.
He listened to Chu Xiao's teachings with full concentration.
The three little guys have been practicing hard for nearly two months, and their strength has increased exponentially.
Today, the three little guys discussed and decided to go find Chu Xiao together.
On the one hand, it was to let Chu Xiao see their progress.
On the other hand, they hope Chu Xiao can comment on their practice results and find out the problems.
As the saying goes, if you work in isolation, what you produce is not a car, but loneliness.
The three little guys knew very well that working hard with their heads down would not solve all the problems.
Only by constant actual combat, especially with real masters, can their strength achieve a qualitative leap.
Next, it is time for Luffy, Ace and Sabo to show the results of their training.
The first one to appear is naturally the senior brother Ace!
Ace, who has practiced Armament Haki, has already mastered a little bit of Armament Haki through this short period of hard training.
Ace raised his arms and shouted, then a thin layer of Armament Haki spread over his arms.
The next moment, Ace punched out and hit a large tree surrounded by four people.
boom!
Under Ace's bombardment, the tree's hard trunk cracked directly, revealing a hole as big as a basin.
good!
Chu Xiao couldn't help but praise, "Ace, Armament Haki can be used in two ways: entanglement and hardening. Your hardening has already begun to show its power!"
Let me make an advertisement for the novel app I’ve been using recently, which is supported by both Android and Apple phones!
"Thank you for the compliment, Master. I haven't finished my performance yet!" Ace's face was filled with excitement when he heard Chu Xiao's compliment, and he continued, "Master, please watch!"
As he spoke, Ace picked up a small branch from the ground.
Then, the light black armament color on Ace's arm attached to the small branch at a speed visible to the naked eye.
call!
With one strike, the originally fragile branch turned out to be harder than steel.
It easily tore apart the giant tree in front of Ace.
The armed color is domineering and entangled!
In just less than two months, Ace not only initially mastered the hardening techniques of Armament Haki,
He even mastered the entanglement technique of Armament Haki.
Ace is worthy of being Fire Fist Ace, and worthy of being the son of Pirate King Roger.
His talent is truly incredible!
Next up is Sabo, the second oldest brother.
Sabo, who originally had a talent for physical skills, developed his talent to the extreme after being exposed to the Navy's Six Styles.
In just two months, Sabo failed to master any of the Navy's six styles.
But his physical strength has been tempered to an extremely strong state.
The whole person is like taking hormones, growing at an extremely fast speed.
Becoming the tallest and strongest among the three.
Finally, it’s Luffy!
The moves Chu Xiao taught Luffy were all moves that Luffy would figure out on his own in the future.
Now it has been taught to Luffy in advance,
This gave Luffy the opportunity to use this as a reference.
Luffy's development of the ability of the rubber fruit is rising like a rocket.
He has mastered all the moves in the first level, but his physical fitness is relatively low.
There is no way to bring the moves to their full power.
But even so, Luffy's combat power is gradually approaching his combat power when he went to sea ten years later.
This is a full ten years ahead of schedule!
The three little guys can achieve such achievements, on the one hand, thanks to Chu Xiao’s teaching, and on the other hand it is also related to the diligence and hard work of the three little guys.
After praising them, Chu Xiao also answered some of their cultivation questions.
The three little guys were clamoring for Chu Xiao to give them some pointers.
Chu Xiaoquan just thought of it as a way to pass the time, so he agreed.
"You three come together!"
The three little guys didn't pretend, they exchanged glances with each other, and then they rushed towards Chu Xiao in the shape of a finished product.
Chu Xiao looked carefully and saw the three of them, with Sabo as the vanguard, and Luffy and Ace following closely behind.
This style of play obviously lets the physically strong Sabo be the vanguard to attract firepower.
Luffy and Ace looked for opportunities to deal damage.
hey-hey!
I didn't expect that the three little guys actually developed a tactic targeting me!
Quite interesting!
Chu Xiao only needed to use a force slightly stronger than theirs to defeat them all.
Sabo took the lead and attacked Chu Xiao first, with a pair of iron fists mixed with strong winds blowing towards Chu Xiao's chest.
At the same time,
Luffy's arms suddenly stretched out, and stretched out from behind Sabo like a snake. He used Sabo's body to block Chu Xiao's sight and circled up from Chu Xiao's ankles.
Make a feint to the east and attack in the west!
No!
And Ace,
Sabo and Luffy are just smokescreens, the real core output position is Ace who took action last.
Ace, with a layer of armed Haki on his arms, was covered by Sabo. Under the premise that Luffy's rubber fruit ability restricted Chu Xiao's mobility, he descended from the sky like a tiger descending from the mountain and smashed Chu Xiao's head hard.
Useless questioning,
The cooperation between Luffy and the other two was perfect, and the timing of their attacks was just right.
However, the gap in strength between them and Chu Xiao was too huge.
The hugeness of the earth cannot be made up by tricks.
so,
Even if their plan was perfect, it would be of no practical use against Chu Xiao.
Buzz!
Just as Ace's iron fist was about to fall, Chu Xiao's whole body turned into the black color of Armament Color.
Ace's iron fist collided with Chu Xiao's head, making a buzzing sound of metal hitting metal.
Ace only felt that the Armament Haki on his arm was consumed like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and it was completely consumed in the blink of an eye.
It was no longer possible to maintain the armament haki.
Then, Chu Xiao exuded an aura of dominance that was unmatched by a king.
Like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, it swoops down in all directions.
Ace, Sabo, and Luffy only felt that Chu Xiao in front of them had turned into a giant sea king, with an extremely terrifying aura that was imprinted in their minds.
Plop!
The sound of three knees hitting the ground was heard.
Luffy and the other two had already collapsed on the ground, no longer able to fight.
Domineering and overlord!
Also as one of the three colors of domineering, it is a talent that is innate and cannot be acquired.
However, under Chu Xiao's dark matter cloud computer, the armed color domineering can still be replicated and loaded onto himself.
In Chu Xiao's opinion,
The so-called armed color domineering is a kind of spirit that bursts out when the mental power reaches a certain limit.
Just like the domineering aura often mentioned in novels of the past life,
The kind that leaks on one side.
Very useful!
Although the three little guys are definitely no match for Chu Xiao, as their master, Chu Xiao naturally has to evaluate their abilities.
"You are great! Both your individual abilities and teamwork are impeccable. With your current strength, you are more than capable of leaving Windmill Town!"
The three little guys staggered to their feet, although they still hadn't recovered from the threat of the domineering aura.
But they were also very happy to hear Chu Xiao's praise for them.
"But I have a request for you!"
"You are not allowed to leave Windmill Town within five years!"
As soon as Chu Xiao finished speaking, the happy faces of Luffy and the other two suddenly became heavy.
In fact, before the three of them went to Chu Xiao for advice, they had already agreed that no matter what the outcome of this battle was,
They will all leave Windmill Town and embark on a journey to the sea.
Chu Xiao's request at this moment is tantamount to strangling their dreams.
But Chu Xiao had to do this.
Because Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, the three of them are just children!
Even though they have greater powers than other children of the same age, their essence remains unchanged.
If children like them set out on their journey to a new world too early,
Who knows what might go wrong.
It wouldn't be surprising if he was killed by an unknown person.
so,
Chu Xiao wanted them to stay in Fengche Town for a while, at least until they were a little more mature.
So as not to be deceived by the cunning and evil people from the outside world.
It’s not too late to start the journey again.
Calculating the time, even if it is five years later, it is still five years earlier than Luffy left Windmill Town.
As for Ace and Sabo,
Their fate changed the moment Chu Xiao accepted them as his disciples.
Chu Xiao didn’t know what would happen in the future, but it was certain that it would not be like in the original book.
Ace, Luffy, and Sabo looked at each other, but did not agree to Chu Xiao's request directly.
Instead, they exchanged glances with each other, as if they wanted to disobey Chu Xiao's orders.
Um?!
I don’t think these three little guys really have the courage to disobey my orders!
Is dream really so magical?!
Do these three little guys have the courage to disobey my orders
no!
We can’t let these three little guys get what they want!
I have spent so much effort to train them, but in the end they die halfway.
That would be a huge loss!
In this case,
Chu Xiao immediately came up with a new idea.
"You yearn for the outside world. Your master knows this in his heart. However, with your current mental state, it will be very dangerous to go outside."
"Although I have taught you powerful martial arts, I have not taught you how to deal with those cunning villains. Sometimes the mind is more powerful than the fist."
"so"
Chu Xiao waved his hand, and a towering tree grew up next to the wooden house at a speed visible to the naked eye. The tree was so thick that seven or eight people could hug it. Its dense branches and leaves blocked out the sun, and made a hoarse friction sound with the breeze.
"From today on, whoever can cut this tree in half by himself can leave Windmill Town and pursue the dream in your heart."
After Chu Xiao finished speaking, his figure turned from real to virtual, and slowly disappeared in front of the three people.
When Ace and the other two saw the huge tree, they were stunned for a moment.
Ace took the first step and tried to chop down the tree.
Unfortunately, even if Ace used all his strength, he couldn't hurt the tree at all.
What shocked the three even more was that this tree actually had the ability to repair itself.
Sabo used his physical strength to cut a hole in the tree, but it recovered in the blink of an eye.
Everyone knew in their hearts that if they wanted to cut the tree in half, it would definitely take several years!
Chu Xiao has made his attitude so clear.
The three little guys had no choice but to obey orders. They would not leave Windmill Town until the big tree was cut down.
This tree is not an ordinary tree.
It was a spiritual tree that Chu Xiao had created using his spiritual power.
The Spirit Tree tests their character, not pure force.
Therefore, as long as their nature meets their needs,
Even if he didn't take action, he could still cut the tree in half.
But if they continue to be unable to improve their character, they will be trapped in Windmill Town forever.
After the matter of the Spirit Tree came to an end,
Luoya House once again welcomed new guests.
The man was wearing a pair of frog-shaped glasses, his long beard was tied into a pigtail shape, and he was wearing a military cap with a seagull symbolizing "navy" on it. Under the cap was a huge afro.
Warring States Period!
That’s right!
The person who came to visit Chu Xiao this time was the highest authority in the navy, Zhan Guo.
When he was a teenager, Sengoku joined the navy together with Garp, Tsuru, and Zephyr. He is of the same era as Whitebeard and Golden Lion.
Chu Xiao knew that someone from the navy would come to look for him.
But he didn't expect that Zhan Guo would come to see him in person.
and,
The Warring States did not come empty-handed,
He brought Chu Xiao a generous gift.
Bang!
Zhan Guo didn't say much, and directly placed the pink treasure box in front of Chu Xiao.
As the box was opened,
Chu Xiao finally saw clearly what was in the box.
Six imaginary and strange fruits!
Devil Fruit!
There are actually six!
"Here are six devil fruits, one natural type, two parahuman type, and three animal type!"
"The natural devil fruit is the Mumu fruit"
"The superhuman fruits are the Silence Fruit and the Face-Face Fruit."
"Animal fruits, including the bird fruit, the common pheasant form
Mouse fruit common species white mouse shape
The normal type of cat fruit, orange cat form"
""
After Chu Xiao heard Zhan Guo introduce the names of the six devil fruits, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
What are these?!
The Mumu Fruit can control trees and transform their own elements into wood-attributed substances.
It is indeed an extremely powerful devil fruit.
But what about other devil fruits? !
Rubbish, all rubbish!
The Silence Fruit was once taken by Grazon who was killed by Doflamingo. This fruit cannot be used to develop attack skills and can only be used for sound insulation.
The Face-Face Fruit can change one's face to look like anyone.
Next came the pheasant, the white mouse, the orange cat,
It made Chu Xiao unable to bear to look at it.
This is the sincerity of the Warring States period? !
Playing?!
Are you kidding?!
Just use these useless devil fruits? !
Zhan Guo seemed to have noticed Chu Xiao's disdain and said awkwardly,
"Devil Fruits have existed for so long, and most of them have been discovered. The powerful ones have long been eaten or stored away. There are only so many that can be kept at the Navy Headquarters that I can mobilize."
To sum up what Sengoku said, Devil Fruits are too precious.
The powerful devil fruits had long been snatched away.
The remaining devil fruits are either garbage fruits or fruits with fatal flaws.
This is a fact.
"Although these fruits are not very useful, they are still worth a lot on the black market," Zhan Guo stated his purpose straight away, "I only hope to use these fruits as a reward, and ask you to kill one person!"
