Chapter Twenty-Four: Depressed Smoker
γSmokerγSmoker, male, 22 years old, Lieutenant Commander of the Navy, smoke fruit ability.
His teacher is none other than the legendary former general [Black Wrist] Zefa.
As a rare natural fruit ability, Smoker is undoubtedly the best among the younger generation of the Navy.
Serious character, hard training, in addition to being a big smoking gun, almost a perfect naval newcomer.
Therefore, when the Navy Headquarters ordered Karp to form an elite recruit unit for Type 6 training, Smoker was naturally recommended by Zefa to join.
Smoker was undoubtedly excited and thrilled to be trained by the "Naval Hero" himself.
β¦β¦
At least some time ago.
The training has been going on for more than ten days.
After landing on this uninhabited island, he began to fall into a state of doubt.
He saw with his own eyes a big criminal with a bounty of more than 100 million yuan, wandering around the island as if nothing had happened, and receiving special training with them from Karp.
As for the purpose, it seems that the great criminal made it very clear from the beginning-
Cultivation domineering.
This potentially powerful power in the human body is a testament to the true strong.
Even the elites of their batch of naval recruits were far from being able to cultivate domineering.
And now, the hero of the Navy is going to teach domineering to a wanted criminal with a bounty of more than 100 million?
The most important thing is that this wanted criminal looks as if he is about the same age!
At such a young age, he is actually qualified to cultivate domineering?
Smoker couldn't figure it out, so he sat cross-legged on the floor, smoking one cigar after another.
It was dusk, and the sailors were resting and eating.
The navy on the side was choked by the smoke of the cigar and coughed several times, and waved his hand again and again:
"Hey, Smoker, how do I feel like you're getting more addicted to smoking."
Smoker frowned, too lazy to answer.
The navy on the other side teased: "Of course, because he is a smoke man!" β
"Humph!"
Smoker didn't bother to pay attention to them, and got up and picked up ten hands on the side.
The so-called "Ten Hands" is a special weapon used to restrain swords.
Smoker used the ability of the Smoke Fruit and combined with the Ten Hands to develop his own unique combat methods.
"Smoker, where are you going?" The Navy on the side asked.
"Go to the forest." Smoker replied.
"Hey, no."
The navy scratched his head, "I remember that you fought those beasts in the forest all day, and now you still want to go, won't you be tired?" β
"Lieutenant General Karp is here to make us touch the limits of our bodies, and only then can we break through it." Smoker stared at the ten hands in his hand and said solemnly: "My training is not enough. β
At the thought of the wanted criminal with a bounty of more than 100 million, Smoker's heart was unhappy.
You have to surpass him!
Just as Smoker was about to leave and return to the forest to continue training, there was a sudden exclamation from the surrounding navy.
"Here we go!"
"Oh, it's coming!"
"It's so early today!"
With the comments of the navy, Smoker was even more unhappy.
"What do you fools think of the navy, how can you cheer for a wanted criminal!"
"Don't be so serious, Brother Smoker."
The navy on the side put his arm around Smoker's shoulders and laughed: "You don't like that wanted criminal, but this is also a rare opportunity to see Vice Admiral Karp fight!" β
Smoker thought about it, as if it was true, but he could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart and look into the distance.
There, a figure stood.
Dressed in a navy uniform and with a strong physique, he is undoubtedly the naval hero - Karp!
And beside Karp, there is this large circle drawn with the tip of his toes, about ten meters in diameter.
More than ten days ago, Karp made a promise to Lynn:
"Little ghost, look at this circle clearly."
"Use all your strength, when the old man is knocked out of this circle by you, it will be the moment when your domineering awakening!"
Since then, Lynn's challenge to Karp has officially begun.
The first few challenges, of course, ended in Lynn's crushing defeat, and Karp didn't even move a step, let alone be kicked out of the circle.
At the beginning, the navy on the island was quite wary of Lynn, after all, he was a big criminal with a bounty of 100 million berry.
However, as time passed, the Navy's attitude towards Lynn gradually changed from wariness to pure shock.
I had to be shocked!
During these more than ten days, Lynn rushed into the forest in the morning to hunt fierce beasts, and at noon made the hunted beasts into delicious food, and then feasted on them.
After eating and drinking, Lynn rushed into the forest again and began training.
Training continues until the evening, when the day's main event begins:
Lynn will challenge Karp.
And this is the key to the change of attitude of the Navy towards Lynn!
Because Lynn and Karp have very similar fighting styles, they also tend to be purely frontal fights.
Every fight, every collision, produces a drum-like muffled sound, and the air around them trembles.
The grassland they were in was supposed to be a safe area on the island, but during the time the two of them were fighting, the forest where the beasts were gathering seemed to be safer.
It's just two monsters fighting each other!
The navy on the island has never seen such a simple and crude, even "barbaric" battle!
Although they were all convinced that Lieutenant General Karp had not yet used his true skills, Lynn's progress was also visible to the naked eye.
Without using "breathtaking":
Three days into training, Lynn made Karp take a half-step back.
Seven days later, a full step back.
Eleven days later, two steps back in a row!
And nowβ
The fifteenth day is here!
Under dusk.
With his arms folded over his chest, Karp stood in the circle he had drawn, quietly waiting for Lynn's arrival.
At the same time, the navy members were also resting with the hot soup that had just been boiled, discussing the possible battle situation today.
"Can that guy named Lynn really get Lieutenant General Karp out of that circle?"
"How is that possible, that's Vice Admiral Karp, hero of the Navy!"
"Yes...... Which of you is confident that you can beat that guy named Lynn? β
When the navy heard this, they hesitated again and again, but in the end they shook their heads.
Lynn's strength has far surpassed them.
"His strength may be on par with the lieutenant general in the headquarters." One of the Navy said suddenly.
"Idiot!" Smoker interrupted the Navy, "He's a wanted man, and it's your duty to capture him, not praise him!" β
Another Navy member played a round game, "Brother Smoker, only by acknowledging the strength of others can you improve!" β
"Humph!"
Smoker clenched his ten hands, and a sense of urgency arose.
Not enough, I'm not strong enough!
β¦β¦
On the other side, Karp, who was waiting, was closing his eyes and recuperating.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the direction of the forest.
Whoa!
It sounded like something dragging on the ground.
Karp opened his eyes and grinned, "Here you go, stinky little ghost!" β
On the other side of the forest, trees fell one after another, and a huge mouth with sharp teeth appeared in front of everyone first.
The navy, who was eating, saw the owner of the huge mouth and immediately prepared for battle.
It was one of the kings of this forest, a giant crocodile weighing dozens of tons!
Its speed and strength have reached a terrifying level, and its hard skin can't even be pierced by a cannon!
In the past ten days, many navies have been defeated by that crocodile and almost lost their lives.
Smoker frowned as well.
Even if he had eaten the natural Devil Fruit, there was nothing he could do with the crocodile with rough skin and thick flesh.
That giant crocodile came out? Aren't the beasts of this island not going to set foot in the grasslands?
But then, the navy noticed something unusual.
I saw that the crocodile drooped its tongue and rolled its eyes, obviously dead that it couldn't die anymore!
And under the crocodile, a figure was dragging the crocodile and slowly moving forward.
The man was naked, and his muscles were covered with scars, large and small.
Lynn Barek, out of the forest!
With a strain of her arms, Lynn threw the giant crocodile in the open space beside her.
Bang!
The navy felt the soles of their feet shake a few times.
"Navy brothers, let's have a barbecue tonight."
Lynn twisted her neck and jumped lightly before locking her gaze on Karp.
Karp couldn't help but laugh and said, "Stinky little ghost, don't you want to take a break?" β
Lynn shook her head and smiled with extreme excitement.
"How can you bear it!"
Lynn Barek, right, Monch M. D. Karp β
The fifteenth challenge begins!
