Chapter 2 Talent System
Rhodes looked at the two talents, firearm shooting and melee combat, and quickly made the decision to point 20 of the 45 proficiency points he had just earned on melee combat.
Swish!
When the proficiency level of melee combat reaches 100 points, a golden light flashes, and the marker on the right side changes from mastery to mastery.
At the same time, Rhodes felt that his body suddenly became much more flexible, and a large number of martial arts skills were imprinted in his bones as if they had been enlightened.
"The remaining 25 points can be dotted on the twisted fruit."
Rhodes looked at his third talent, the Twisted Fruit, and pondered slightly.
The Twisted Fruit was not an ability activated by the talent system, but he had obtained it by chance during an extremely dangerous encounter, and due to the crisis of the situation, he had to eat it without knowing what the fruit's ability was.
After eating that fruit, a huge branch labeled 'Twisted Fruit' appeared on the combat talent tree of the talent system.
The basic ability of this Devil Fruit is to twist everything it touches, and even hard steel can be easily twisted into twists.
It seems ordinary, but in the talent system, it has an extremely strong evolutionary direction!
On this huge branch, there are multiple branches such as distorting light, distorting gravity, distorting space, and even at the very top, there is a suffocating ability...... Warp Time!
It also takes a lot of proficiency to fully fill the talent of the Twisted Fruit.
Distorted rays: 100
Warp gravity: 300
Warp Space: 600
Warp time: 1000
Unlike firearm shooting and melee combat, these extended abilities are additional offshoots that cost free talent points to activate in addition to sufficient proficiency.
Because of this, getting a little free talent point after hunting Lodes made Rhodes so pleasantly surprised.
Counting the 1 free talent point that he didn't use a long time ago, and the 1 free talent point obtained from hunting Lodes, Rhodes still has 2 free talent points.
Soon.
Rhodes still put the remaining 25 proficiency points on the Twisted Fruit, and any talent on the talent tree will increase with the increase in proficiency, and if you can meet the level of 50 or 100, you will get a huge increase.
"Hunting down another pirate of the level of Lodes will bring out the first branch talent of the Twisted Fruit."
Sensing that his control over the Devil Fruit had improved considerably, Rhodes nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Distort light.
This branch talent seems to be useless, but it has great development, such as distorting light to create illusions, clones, etc., and can even distort strong light to directly deprive the enemy of vision, which can be described as a very strong talent.
Unless you have mastered the domineering existence of seeing and hearing, you will be greatly restricted and limited under the ability to distort light.
"Domineering ......"
Thinking of seeing and hearing the domineering, Rhodes couldn't help but look up, and above the talent tree, there were also three talents: seeing and hearing color, armed color, and overlord color.
It's just that these three talents are all gray and dark now, which means that he has not yet reached the activation conditions, maybe the free talent points are not enough, or it may be that the physical strength is not enough to master the three-color domineering.
"Huh?"
And just as Rhodes glanced at the talent tree and was about to quit, he accidentally found that the talent in one area changed from gray to green.
Green means it can be activated.
"Navy Six...... Is this talent unlocked? ”
There are a total of six talents in that area, namely the Navy Six Style Shaving, Moon Step, Lan Foot, Iron Block, Paper Painting, and Finger Gun.
The paper painting and shaving have turned emerald green, while the other moon steps, arashi feet, iron blocks, and finger guns are still gray colors.
"I should have taken melee combat to the mastery level, and met the activation conditions of paper painting and shaving, it seems that as I speculated, my physical strength needs to meet certain conditions, or activate some specific talents, in order to unlock other talents."
Rhodes nodded to himself, then looked at the paper painting and shaved in thought.
Activating Shaving and Paper Painting each requires 1 free talent point, and he now has exactly two free talent points to activate both at the same time.
The problem is that there is such a thing as free talent points, which is not guaranteed to be obtained by hunting pirates, he hunted four or five sea pirates with a bounty of about 10 million in half a year before he got 2 free talent points.
Ultimately.
Rhodes decided to activate the 'Shaving' ability in the Navy Type Six first.
Shaving is a high-speed moving method, paper painting is a way to dodge, if he really encounters any danger, he can escape by shaving first, but if it can't be activated, the paper painting is activated in the process of escaping.
Leave a little free talent point for backup, lest you have an embarrassing situation where you can't activate the branching ability of Twisted Light after you have enough proficiency in the Twisted Fruit.
Swish!
After adding the free talent point to the emerald green shaved branch, the branch flickered and suddenly turned golden, and at the same time, a wave of power quickly poured into Rhodes's body.
Rhodes' eyes were closed, his eyeballs were constantly moving, and in just a few seconds, it seemed to him that he had been shaving for three months of continuous training.
When he opened his eyes, the shaving pace was deeply imprinted in his bones and in his memory.
Rhodes exhaled and immediately tried.
"Shave!"
Rhodes's whole person seemed to suddenly disappear, and rushed out at an outrageous speed, and ordinary people couldn't even see his movement trajectory!
After a few shaves in quick succession, Rhodes returned to square one, gasping slightly, and a deep moan in his eyes.
"In the state of shaving, the speed is at least two or three times that of normal, and the consumption of physical strength is several times more than under normal conditions."
Overall, I am very satisfied.
He pointed out an agility enhancement in his general talent, which is very fast, and with shaving, the pirates with a bounty of less than 20 million will probably not be able to react in front of his speed!
"Whew, it's time to go."
Rhodes breathed steadily, grabbed Lodes' sixteen million Bailey's head, and left the street, soon to the shore.
Two ships were docked on the shore, one slightly larger and with the pirate flag, and the other a slightly smaller one, the ship of Rhodes.
The pirate ship was naturally the ship of the Machete Pirates, and there were originally two of Lodes' men on board, but Rhodes had already cleaned them up when he came.
Syllable!
Rhodes threw Lodes' head into his boat, jumped on board with a slight leap, skilfully untied the ship's ropes, hung up the sails, and paddled away.
The talent of the life department, the only thing he pointed out is sailing, after all, this is the world of One Piece, and it is difficult to move an inch if you don't know how to sail.
