Chapter 254

"Now, I use fire to forge my body every day, forging my body like steel, so that my body can have stronger tolerance, and regenerate tougher and stronger skin and muscles again and again."

"These days, I feel that it is not the end yet. One day, the hot flames continue to burn me as easy as breathing. That is when the fire forging method is truly perfect."

"I don't know if I can surpass the Supreme Great Sword by then. If not, I must find another way to continue to forge my body."

"If I want to train my body to surpass the Supreme Great Sword, I can't slack off in my physical training every day."

Ares has never slacked off or relaxed in his physical training, and even invested most of his time in physical training.

But after the battle with Rocks, he found that his physical strength was far from being truly invincible.

And in a short period of time, his physical strength could not be improved to the point of ignoring Rocks's Dark Fruit.

It takes time for ice to freeze three feet and water to wear away a stone.

"I need stronger and richer fighting methods." Ares knew that in order to defeat Rocks, he had to improve himself in all aspects.

In fact, he had many fighting methods.

With the help of "plug-ins", he learned a lot of fighting skills from many strong men.

Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Rayleigh, Zephyr, Garp, Slardar, Green Pepper, etc.... Basically, he could learn some skills from every opponent he fought.

But...

Ares was far from perfect in these skills, and relied more on his own strong body to launch powerful attacks.

"Perhaps I should combine the advantages and characteristics of various fighting skills, combine them with my own strengths, and turn them into a fighting skill that suits me."

"Only the one that suits me is the best."

He seemed to understand something, but he couldn't say the actual reason.

Ares didn't know that what he understood now was a very famous saying on Earth, which was: "Take the stones from other mountains to polish jade, and absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools to enrich yourself!"

This is also the experience of the predecessors, and the truth summarized. People will encounter many similar or identical things in life.

It's just what the educated people say.

Uneducated means that I have to have something of my own.

"In addition, I have to spend some time on the development of fruit abilities. The potential of the mythical beast species, the Azure Dragon form is very strong, and I haven't fully exerted the ability of the Azure Dragon Fruit."

Ares had noticed this before. He had obtained the fruit for more than two years, but he still focused on physical exercise.

He didn't spend too much time on developing the Azure Dragon Fruit.

He also decided to work hard on the development of the fruit ability.

"There are also three kinds of domineering, and I have to work hard...Why do I feel that I have so many things to practice!" Ares laughed at himself. He looked at it this way and seemed to find that he had a lot to learn.

"You have to think about it carefully. For example, when you are training your body, you can also train your Armament Haki... You can even think about the development of your fruit ability."

"When you are practicing combat skills, you can also practice your Observation Haki and Armament Haki."

"You have to combine them and not waste a single second!"

Ares felt that this kind of training could maximize his training efficiency.

If he could stick to the training plan, he felt that it would only take a year for his strength to improve significantly.

He opened his eyes, turned off the lights, and lay on the bed.

Suddenly he thought of something and murmured, "By the way, the extra memory in my mind may also be of great help to me."

"Although I don't know where this memory came from, every time I have an extra memory, I feel that I am full of energy and strong."

"That memory doesn't seem to be all, but only a small part of it. It would be great if I could know all the memories."

With doubts, he fell asleep.

In the next few days, Ares was carrying out his training plan, and every day was very fulfilling.

Although he was stripped of his status as the captain of the squad, no pirate would dare to let the powerful Ares do the chores that Rocks did.

This time.

Ares practiced more seriously than ever before. He once practiced Armament Haki in reverse while drunk, which made him practice the unique "Blood Armament Haki".

Now he started to practice the real Armament Haki from scratch.

The genuine Armament Haki has several ways of use, including hardening, externalization, and entanglement. Ares quickly mastered these three techniques.

It didn't take much time at all. First, his own strength was extremely strong, and his control over his own energy Haki was far beyond that of ordinary pirates.

Second, he had his own "plug-in" and could learn Haki techniques from various enemies he had fought before.

After thoroughly mastering the genuine Armament Haki, Ares also had a better understanding of Haki, and also had a new understanding of Haki entanglement. Armament Haki entanglement and Conqueror Haki entanglement have some similarities.

It's just that the energy sources of the two are different.

Ares was immersed in practice.

An iron shop on the island.

"Strange, why didn't Ares come these days? He used to come to learn weapon forging techniques and experience from me every day." Shimotsuki Kozaburo sat on the stool, smoking a pipe.

"Is it because of the chaos on the island a few days ago that I don't have time to study?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo guessed, "There are more and more pirates on the island. It seems that something big is going to happen. I left Wano Country to see the scenery of the sea."

"I have been on the island for so long, it's time to leave."

The idea of ​​leaving Beehive Island came to his mind. He expected that something big would happen next, and he didn't want to be involved in this storm.

"Hu——"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo exhaled a thick puff of smoke, and his pipe hit the stone pier to shake off the ash.

He stood up and went back to the room to pack his luggage.

"Go and say goodbye to Ares."

He had been with Ares for a while. During this time, Ares humbly asked for advice and immersed himself in the study of forging, which made him seem to see the daimyo.

Ares also took great care of him.

It was reasonable and reasonable to say goodbye to Ares before leaving.

When he found Ares, Ares was still immersed in the training of Armament Haki. Unlike others, he used Armament Haki to punch his body.

Bang——

Bang——

The dull collision sound was like thunder.

Seeing this scene, Shimotsuki Kozaburo was dumbfounded and said, "Is this how he tempers his body?!"

He also knew that Ares' dream was to forge his body into a supreme sword.

He also knew that Ares' training method was extremely crazy, but he was still shocked when he saw the fist with Armament Haki that was enough to smash a small mountain hitting Ares' body.

What the ears heard was far less shocking than what the eyes saw.

Ares seemed to be unaware of the pain. The fists fell like raindrops, and Shimotsuki Kozaburo's scalp was numb and he couldn't move his feet.

"What a crazy guy!!"

"No wonder his dreams are so bizarre, a monster has monster ideas!!"
