Chapter 4: The Footsteps of Destruction

Sea Calendar, Autumn 1499. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The warm sea breeze gradually became dry, and the green grass blades took on a hint of yellow. This is a harvest season, and Luo Xiu's exercise in the past six months has also blossomed and borne fruit in this season.

Still at the beach, Luo Xiu is exercising. It's not complicated, it's not mysterious, it's just very simple and straightforward punches, legs, jumps...... The speed is not fast, and any child can see it clearly.

But it's powerful, it's a little outrageous. It is obviously the slow motion of Tai Chi, but it has the momentum and power of Xingyi cannon boxing. The invisible power flowed around him, and in Luo Xiu's gestures, there was a trace of leakage. But that's just the beginning.

When the autumn mood is stronger and the leaves fall back to the roots, Luo Xiu on the seaside no longer continues to exercise there empty-handed, and the invisible power has also mellowed a lot, and there is no leakage at all. The different weapons appeared between his hands, then vanished. What hasn't changed is that his speed is still not fast. At least, that's how it looks.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and Luo Xiu is getting stronger day by day.

When the last leaves fall, the cool autumn wind finally turns into a bitter cold wind, and winter is coming.

O'Hara's first snow in 1499 came a little earlier than usual.

It was night, and the white snow fell on the house, piled up fluffily, absorbing the excess noise. So the snowy nights are always very quiet.

The Tree of Omniscience, in a relatively remote room, is brightly lit. Robin was holding a book and looking at it with his ability, and Luo Xiu was using his ability to process a knife.

Soon, Robin finished reading the book, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and said, "Luo Xiu, it's not early, aren't you sleeping?"

"Right now. Luo Xiu responded, the knife in his hand had already been formed, and finally he wiped it the side of the blade, and it was done. Pick up a leaf from the window, gently put it until the blade comes out, put it down, and it is two and a half leaves that fall to the ground.

"Wow!Luo Xiu, are the knives you've been making lately getting sharper?!" Robin's eyes flashed.

"yes...... It's getting sharper. However, it is also becoming less and less useful. Putting the knife into the scabbard that had been prepared long ago, Luo Xiu walked to another bed in the room and got into his own bed.

"Eh, why don't you make it more durable?" asked Robin innocently.

"Because if you do it too well, you can't make more money. This is the dowry I have for you, Robin, in the future. Luo Xiu smiled slightly.

"I hate it~ Don't marry someone else!My goal is to ......" Robin, who suddenly remembered something, lowered his voice: "Interpret the text of history, and let the blank history of the past hundred years be displayed in front of the world." ”

"Well, then, I'll be responsible for protecting you until that day comes. I think I'm going to go to sea in the future, and in that case, it's important to have some reliable partners. Luo Xiu thought about it seriously.

"Well, when the time comes, let's go find it together, buddy!" Robin smiled and lay down under the covers.

"Good. Luo Xiu finally answered and fell asleep.

……

Throughout the winter, Luo Xiu was making various types of knives and then trying to find a way to sell them. Some circles, because of his knife, set off a small wave. Among them, the most concerned are pirates, pirate hunters, and bandits who are good at wielding knives...... And the collectors of knives.

The knives sold by Luo Xiu are very extreme defective products. Under his deliberate control, each knife has the sharpness of the world's supreme fast knife. But the strength of the blade is very low.

Although theoretically, the sharpness of these knives has reached the level of supreme fast knives, but because of the strength problem, at most they can only exert the performance of good fast knives. But the merchants didn't care. They just need one gimmick enough to drive up the price of things. What's more, this knife is really good.

Therefore, the knife made by Luo Xiu is very popular. His money also accumulated at a very rapid rate. At the same time, his fame is growing rapidly. Because considering the long-term knife business in the future, Luo Xiu used his ability to attach a knife pattern that could not be done with a normal knife-making process to the knives he made, and slightly lowered the price.

You must know that the cost of the knife that Luo Xiu processed through his ability is only a few Baileys who can receive a pile of scrap iron. Even, those finished products were just by-products that Luo Xiu got in the process of exercising his fruit ability. Therefore, at the same price, other people's copycat knives are basically scum.

Knives are in short supply, and the merchants who help Luo Xiu sell often urge the goods. Thanks to this, Luo Xiu has had a very fulfilling winter this winter. The fruit ability has been able to be used very skillfully. Next, it's time to add new workouts.

……

Sea Calendar, 1500, Spring.

Still on the coast, Luo Xian wielded weapons that were sometimes large and sometimes small, and sometimes short. The ground around him was like an armory, filled with all kinds of weapons.

He practiced until his whole body was active, and then Luo Xiu stopped. Looking around at the weapons he had made out of thin air, the weapons gradually disappeared as soon as his thoughts moved.

"It's been 1500 years. Let's try to complete the final practice before that guy arrives. ”

After actually using it, Luo Xiu found that the ability of the craftsman fruit was actually very strong. However, his training time is still too short, and even if he is very experienced, he can't use this ability to the limit in such a short period of time. As for the higher [Awakening], of course, it is even more impossible. Therefore, Luo Xiu's initial plan was to use the fruit ability to make a fuss about domineering:

"If we can use the power of [processing] to turn the invisible domineering energy into a 'solid state' that will not dissipate......

The idea is very beautiful, but in practice, it is far more difficult than Luo Xiu imagined. More than a year ago, Luo Xiu had this idea, and he has been trying. However, either the domineering quality is not high enough, or the fruit ability is not strong enough. In desperation, he had no choice but to improve his basic quality first.

Now, under the effect of [Destiny], there is no problem with his physical fitness, and the strength of his domineering strength is enough to carry capacity. The most critical fruit ability has also become a lot stronger in the past few months of crazy use. Now, time is running out, and it's time to give it another try.

"Processing" the ability to activate, Luo Xiu focused his attention on his own hands. The domineering has been perfectly concentrated on the arms, but there is no armed color-hardened metallic black and shine.

Five minutes later, a black thing slowly emerged from Luo Xiu's palm, little by little.

"Whew, finally, it worked. Playing with a thin black silk thread, a little smile appeared on Luo Xiu's face. Then, the training continues.

The sun is getting higher day by day, and people's clothes are getting less and less day by day.

Suddenly, one day, when Luo Xiu saw that huge figure, he was shocked - here!

In the year 1500, at the turn of spring and summer, on the beach of O'Hara, Robin found a stranded giant. With the help of Rosho, Robin successfully rescued the giant.

A few hours later, the giant, who had recovered his spirit, thanked the two children:

"Thank you so much! I almost died, but if I could, it would be better to go to an uninhabited island (Balabala)...... You two, is this the first time you've seen the Giants?"

Robin: "Hmm. (expressionless)

Luo Xiu: "Sort of." (expressionless)

"Don't think of me as a savage like the Eruba, for they are the most famous of the giants, and many people think that we are like that! ”

Robin: "Really?" (expressionless)

Luo Xiu: "Oh. (expressionless)

"There's something I want to ask you for...... When you get home, please don't talk about me to anyone. ”

Robin: "Okay. (expressionless)

Luo Xiu: "Okay." (expressionless)

"You promised so quickly, you can't do it. Yes, how can a child keep his mouth? And you have been expressionless since the beginning...... Ahh ”

Robin, Luo Xiu said in unison: "Don't worry...... Because we're not interested in you. ”

"......" The giant suddenly stared at the two of them with a very subtle expression for a long time, and then suddenly made a strange sound:

"Fall thunder hee!!"

Robin felt that the voice was strange, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm laughing! You two are really funny kids!

Robin also laughed: "Hehe, hahahaha! You laugh so strangely!"

Quietly looking at the two of them, one big and one small, laughed for a while, Luo Xiu said, "You are Saulo, Haguvar D. Saulo." ”

Giant, Saulo's face changed suddenly: "You know me?"

Luo Xiu smiled, matching the appearance of a child, looking harmless to humans and animals: "I saw you for the first time today, there is no doubt about this." As for why I know you, I can't tell you that. Now there's something urgent that I have to tell you first. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Saulo solemnly, and even Robin became serious, looking at Luo Xiu with big eyes flashing.

"Here, this island is O'Hara. ”
