Volume 3: Calling the Wind and Rain Chapter 88 Light and Heavy
Chapter Eighty-Eight
People who are not energetic enough cannot become a qualified power fan.
After meeting with Alcatio, Becker returned to the ship as soon as possible, arranged for his crew to take turns to go ashore to rest, then inspected the ship again, checked the supplies again, and went back to the captain's office to write a list of supplies.
After the crew had fallen asleep, Becker took Ajin to the various cabins to check whether the fire had been extinguished and whether the crew of the night vigil had deserted.
He personally drew up a plan for the night patrol, and as soon as the crew went to sleep, three shifts at one a.m. and before dawn were made, and one cadre accompanied him to inspect the ships in each shift.
Becker did this not only out of concern for the safety of the ship, but also to give the crew a hint that they would know who was in charge of the ship, so that they would feel that Becker was always paying attention to them and deepening his authority.
Many of the old pirates on the ship have been under Barbarossa for many years, and there are a lot of problems in Becker's eyes, and he doesn't expect to teach these old bandits a lesson to the point of becoming soldiers, but at least they must break away from their previous image and habits, and there is a difference between pirates and pirates, these gangs of murderers who have tasted the pleasure of plundering, as long as Becker is a little lax with them, the old state will definitely sprout.
Barbary pirates used their pirate flags to wrap supplies and then drop them down at the docks and give them to the local people, which may seem incomprehensible to Barbarossa, but Becker knew that fame and hearts were important to the leaders of higher aspiring powers.
In addition, communicating with cadres during night rounds is also a means of winning people's hearts, especially prisoners who have just surrendered, such as Creon.
Of course, during Becker's rounds, he inevitably did something like folding quilts for those who were sleeping, throwing a cigarette at a night watchman, and patting them on the shoulder.
Becker's young and strong physique and experience learning swords gave Becker almost endless energy, coupled with his vigorous desire for power, so Becker did not feel tired at all, but full of energy.
After the light of day, Becker went to the bow deck to practice his sword, and now that the ship was fully under Becker's control, he did not need to estimate the hidden strength of others as before, but this was the time for him to show his personal strength unscrupulously.
Becker got a pair of barbells when he was in Momiji Village, and when he practiced, he only put two barbell plates on one end, and after tightening them with a clamp, he used the heavy barbell as a knife to practice swordsmanship.
The experience of learning swords under Koshiro made Becker very focused when practicing swords, his upper body was only wearing a loose vest, and under his bare skin, strong muscles wriggled with movement, like a strange python.
A few pirates who got up early secretly smacked their tongues when they saw Becker dancing with a barbell whose barbell blade diameter was about to catch up with the size of an adult.
Becker's footsteps changed when he practiced his sword, and he actually stepped on the sturdy deck with a creaky sound, as if he couldn't bear Becker dancing with a barbell.
Finally, after Becker had jumped hard and landed back on the deck, there was a muffled sound beneath his feet, and he stepped out of a hole in the deck.
Becker's entire calf was stuck in the hole, and he pulled it out in a slightly embarrassed way, then tossed the barbell aside, frowning at the hole.
A shrewd old pirate on the side hurriedly stepped forward at this time, handed a clean towel to Becker, and said flatteringly: "Captain, you are really powerful, I think you can be worthy of a shipload of pirates by yourself, and you can dismantle the warship to pieces with your bare hands." ”
Becker practiced the sword for a long time, and his breathing was a little uneven, he took the towel and waved his hand, not responding to the old pirate's words, just wiping the sweat on his body while looking at his feet.
Although the Devil Fruit and Devil Fruit Ability of the Great Voyage cannot be said to be as numerous as a cow's hair, it is not as rare as the East China Sea, as long as you have lived in the Great Voyage for a period of time, you know a little bit about the Devil Fruit.
Becker had already learned a lot about the Devil Fruit from Creon, who had lived on the Great Voyage, the division between the natural, animal, and superhuman lines, and the weakness of the Fruit Ability's fear of the sea and the restraint of the Sea Tower.
There is no doubt that if Becker were to choose by himself, he would definitely choose to eat the natural Devil Fruit, as Creon said, this fruit can transform the body of the capable person into another substance, transforming into elements such as ice, snow and flames, rare but powerful, except for a few methods such as domineering and sea building stones, other attacks cannot harm the capable person itself.
The second is the animal system and the superhuman system, especially the latter, as far as Creon has seen and heard, the superhuman devil fruit ability is strange, and the strength of the ability often depends on the ability of the person himself, many superhuman devil fruits after being eaten, often unable to significantly improve the strength of the ability in a short period of time like the natural and animal devil fruits.
Becker tried to stick his thumb with the tip of a knife and tried to imagine himself becoming some kind of animal by hiding alone in the captain's room.
After realizing that he would be injured as before, and that he was still human-like after being stupid for a long time, he was sure that he was eating a superhuman Devil Fruit.
And the ability seems to be to control their own weight.
Although Becker didn't know the name of the fruit, nor did he know what other uses this ability could be used for weight loss and weight gain, he had seen Barbarossa's fruit ability, and with the information given by Creon, he knew that the strength of the Devil Fruit ability mostly depended on the ability of the person who used it and how to use it.
At the moment, Becker has only found the role of gaining weight and helping him train.
Becker is trying to increase his weight during training, which is not fast, but he vaguely feels that he can increase this speed as he exercises.
The constant increase in weight made Becker feel as if he was wearing an iron cloak, and this weight burden was all-round, whether it was internal organs, or parts that were not easy to exercise, this feeling made Becker very uncomfortable at first, and his movements were always deformed when practicing swordsmanship, and he was barely able to adapt to it now.
And Becker is not thinking about how much Bailey will cost to repair the deck now, but thinking about the inspiration that this fruit ability has given him about swordsmanship.
For Becker, the swordsmanship of this world is a study that needs to be constantly studied, and small details such as inertia and center of gravity are also worthy of attention.
