Chapter 188 Facing death
The warship sailed smoothly on the sea.
The cold sea breeze blew the seagull flag on the mast.
Darren ignored the strange looks from the surrounding navy soldiers looking at his sea-tower stone shackles, and stood quietly at the bow of the warship, blowing in the sea breeze, closing his eyes, and enjoying a brief moment of peace.
At the same time, he carefully examined the state of his body.
Physical fitness: 85.812
Strength: 74.513
Speed: 73.001
Armed color domineering: 43.035
Overlord color domineering: 52.301
In the past six months of practice, Darren's practice has mainly focused on developing the Haki of seeing and hearing, and learning physical skills from Garp.
Therefore, reflected in the various data of the body, the most obvious improvement is the strength and armament domination.
Compared with half a year ago, the strength has increased by 3 points, and the armed color domineering has jumped from the original 38 points to 43 points, a full increase of 5 points.
As for physical fitness and speed, they have gained about 2-3 points due to the spillover effect of training.
Darren is actually quite satisfied with this result.
After all, as the base of his various data becomes larger and larger, every improvement becomes dozens of times more difficult than before.
Apart from anything else, as far as "physical fitness" is concerned, for Darren now, conventional anti-blow training is of little significance.
It can be clearly foreseen that the closer each data is to the full value of 100 points, the more difficult it will be to improve it.
Even if there are any serious injuries, the data may even decline.
"Boy Darren, how is your practice progressing these days?"
Sengoku, wearing a general's cape, walked up to Darren and handed the latter a cigar.
Darren took it unceremoniously, smiled and said:
"not bad."
Warring States lit a cigar for himself and said slowly:
"When your strength reaches your level, general training is of little significance. If you want to continue to improve, you must either spend a lot of time on self-discipline or even rigorous training, or you can only do actual combat."
He glanced at the sea tower stone shackles on Darren's hands.
"Where's the development of Haki?"
Darren smiled helplessly:
"I have vaguely touched the threshold, but I still feel hazy, just missing the last step."
Warring States suddenly thought of something, stared at Darren in surprise and said:
"You kid...don't you want to face the Golden Lion in a state of being 'suppressed by the Sea Tower Stone', and use the pressure of death to force yourself to awaken the Haki of Wisdom and Knowledge?"
Darren looked at the endless sea in front of him and said in a low voice:
"This is the only way."
"Although the training arranged by Teacher Zefa for me was effective, my opponents in the training camp were my colleagues and comrades-in-arms. It was impossible for them to kill me."
"I have a feeling that if I remain stuck at this stage and cannot break through and successfully awaken the Haki of Knowledge and Information, as time goes by, the probability of me successfully awakening in the future will become lower and lower."
"...Facing death head-on is the best way."
People have inertia and inertia.
Once you get used to relying on your physical defense and Devil Fruit abilities to fight, your body's "thirst" for seeing, hearing, and seeing Haki will subconsciously decrease.
According to the training camp information and the experience provided by Teacher Zefa, generally speaking, the older you are, the less likely you are to awaken your Haki.
Darren is now 20 years old. Although he still looks young, there is actually not enough time left for him.
There was silence for a few seconds.
"...You crazy person."
After Zeng Guo was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke out.
Darren smiled disapprovingly and said:
"If you don't go a little crazy, how can you compete with those real 'monsters'?"
As he spoke, he thought of yesterday's scene.
After just watching it once, that guy Kuzan basically understood Garp's boxing skills.
As for how he figured it out?
Darren doesn't know either.
Just as Karp could not clearly explain his teachings, Kuzan could not clearly explain in words how he learned them.
This is the case with many things. If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can’t do it, you can’t do it.
All of this can only be described as talent.
You must know that Garp's boxing technique is not a popular one like the Sixth Form of the Navy, but a true arcana-level physical technique.
It took Kuzan just one minute to almost catch up with the progress that Darren took half a year to figure out.
This is the real "monster".
After hearing Darren's words, Warring States was silent for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of, and subconsciously glanced at the other side of the deck.
On the side of the cabin, Porusalino was lying leisurely on a beach chair, holding a glass of watermelon juice in his hand.
The corner of Sengoku's mouth twitched.
With that lazy look on his face, how could he be on a mission to hunt down the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiji?
It’s no exaggeration to say it’s a paid vacation!
But for such an idle bastard, Warring States found that he could no longer see his strength clearly.
He was obviously his adjutant, but Sengoku was somewhat elusive about Porusalino's level of combat prowess.
This is quite scary.
This bastard obviously hasn't done anything serious all day long, and I haven't seen him receive any serious training!
Warring States couldn't help but shook his head and changed the subject:
"Boy Darren, do you know the reason why I took you with me this time?"
Darren pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"My Devil Fruit abilities are very suitable for use on large-scale battlefields."
Warring States smiled with satisfaction:
"Yes, although Sakaski is superior to you in terms of destructive power, facing the Golden Lion's flying pirate fleet, your ability is undoubtedly more targeted."
"The most important thing is that I want you to see the power of the flying fleet with your own eyes. If possible, it can be used as a reference in the future to form a flying fleet belonging to our navy."
Hearing this, Darren frowned.
He heard another layer of meaning in Seng Guo's words.
"What the Warring States General means is that the primary goal of this mission is not to kill the Golden Lion?"
Warring States sighed, shook his head, and said solemnly:
"This guy Shiji is very cunning, and it's not that easy to kill him at all."
"Before this, the Navy had launched many campaigns against him, but in the end he easily escaped with his Devil Fruit ability."
"He is different from Whitebeard and Roger. He is brutal, cruel and cold-blooded. He doesn't care about the life and death of others. When necessary, he can even use his own subordinates to block his gun."
"So the primary goal of our mission this time is to destroy the effective force of the Flying Pirates."

Ask for everything, thank you.
