When Leo returned to the desert island where he was stationed, it was already dusk, and the boy toiled a handful of non-existent sweat as he carried the large bags of snacks down from the boat, and the dim light tugged at his shadows for a long time.

Leo looked at the shore and sat ...... Salon, bored enough to read the newspaper, asked.

"What's wrong? The face is so ugly? ”

Saron's little eyes moved, and he looked at Leo with an ugly mouth for a long time, but still sighed.

"Alas...... The seas are getting more and more unsettled, and since Roger's death, the whole world has been in turmoil, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, but it should be something terrible......"

Leo thought to himself, I could predict what was going to happen...... But of course he wouldn't say that.

"What the hell did the newspaper say? Makes you so uncomfortable. ”

On the tips of Saron's huge fingers, a small newspaper was spread, and Leo had always wondered how he could read what was on it. If it were me, holding a newspaper that was not the size of a finger and a dense font was copied on it, I would definitely be drowned in a mouthful of spittle, and I wouldn't even look at it.

"The myth of the Advance City has been shattered."

While Leo was thinking wildly, Saron said abruptly.

"Bang dang."

Leo, who was about to make dinner, threw the pot away in fright.

Saron didn't seem to notice Leo's reaction, and continued to recount the contents of the newspaper.

"One of the four legends of Roger's era, the Golden Lion Shiki...... Not long ago, he escaped from Impelton, who had never escaped before, by cutting off his legs, shattering the myth of the impregnable city of Advance City and creating a new legend. ”

“……”

Leo smiled dryly, huh...... Seeing this scene in my previous life, it was indeed quite shocking. The current word...... The Golden Lion should go to Whitebeard, and then the twenty-year plan will be launched, but in the end, it will still be beaten out by the protagonist, and it will be useless.

"There is also the new world that has just emerged and is known as the man most likely to become the new Four Emperors, the red-haired Shanks, the former One Piece trainee crew member, but appeared in the East China Sea."

Saron continued, his expression looking a little worried.

"I really can't figure out what he's trying to do."

This worry made Leo expressionless, and even wanted to laugh, so he couldn't help but pout and sneer, and sarcastically spoke.

"What are you worried about? Worried that the Navy will suffer defeat? Please, dude, you're not Navy anymore, okay? Even on the record, you are already a dead person. ”

You're already a dead man.

These words made Saron fall into a daze, and a strong sense of unreality even rose in his heart.

Oh, yes...... Old decay is already a dead man? What are you worried about......

Instead of chattering here, let's do something meaningful.

For example, what I promised before, I want to train this kid?

"Gotta hee hee hee hee! Gotta hee hee hee! You! You're right! Gotta hee hee ...... The old man is already a dead man, he has to he......"

Saron smirked inexplicably, laughing so much that tears flowed out, laughing so much that he choked out his nose, laughing like a fat man of three thousand tons.

Leo ignores him and honestly cooks his own dinner, this is the last meal he can eat seriously, and after eating, he will start endless training.

The saury had long been eaten raw by Li Oulu as sashimi, and there was not one of the twenty left...... But it still didn't fill his stomach, so these ingredients were just Leo's snacks.

It took 20 minutes to cook the soup, 20 minutes to finish eating and drinking, 20 minutes to wash the dishes and brush the pot, and after eating, Leo stood up with a "whoosh".

"Ready to start?"

Saron on the side asked, dragging his cheeks.

"Yes."

When it comes to future strength, Leo is also serious.

He took out a black bandana that he had prepared long ago, tied it in front of his eyes, and tied it behind his head, blocking his view. Close your eyes again...... In an instant, everything seemed to sink into a pitch-black void, and an instinctive sense of panic swept through Leo's brain.

"Exercise is domineering, but you don't have to be like this."

Saron's deafening voice rang out in the pitch darkness, relieving Leo a little.

"No, as you said, even according to the normal training schedule of seeing and hearing domineering, I will not necessarily wake up. Case...... It's better to be more extreme, so that you can exercise your mind and perception and adapt to the darkness...... When, when I was calm in such a dark environment, I guess I also felt the knock on the door of [Life Return]. ”

Leo's stubbornness and determination made Saron somewhat admired. The kid was right...... Darkness represents danger, and danger will explode potential, which naturally increases the possibility of awakening and seeing domineering.

If you want to master the return of life, you also need a certain amount of mental training, and the minimum requirement is to be able to enter a meditative state at any time.

After meditation, it's inward-looking, and your consciousness has to be able to see anywhere in your body, into any organ, and then it's a natural thing.

"Alright, whatever you want."

"Well, from now on...... Except for one day a week of hunting, the rest of the time, you will always wear it without awakening. ”

The so-called hunting is to go to sea and use the [Stealing Fruit] to steal the energy of growth and strengthening, which is an inevitable and uninterrupted task.

The blindfold is also taken off to prevent the eyes from degenerating.

As we all know, if the eyes are not exposed to sunlight for a long time, the vision will become more and more blurry, and if they are suddenly exposed to sunlight, they will even blind their eyes. Leo is trying to prevent this from happening.

After saying that, he put on an eyepatch and began to act.

At first, I was a little hesitant and scared, and I didn't dare to move a step easily, always reaching out and poking out my feet, groping for something...... After getting used to the darkness a little, he ran in small steps.

But this is the beach, next to the jungle, and the road surface cannot be straight and flat.

So soon, Leo either overreacted and fell into the sea; Either they can't react and trip directly over obstacles. In this way, he stumbled and spared the island for a week, and when he returned to the same place again, he had a lot of scars on his body.

Leo sweated and gritted his teeth.

Afraid?

Fear.

Of course I'm afraid!

Who isn't afraid of the dark?

Darkness represents danger, it represents harm, it represents the possibility of death.

It also represents ignorance, the unknown, loneliness and coldness.

But Leo will adapt.

It's not just about adapting, it's about conquering!

Since you haven't seen and heard the domineering, let's conquer it with your ears first!

Listen to the sound of the waves! Listen to how far away that voice is! Listen to what might lie ahead! So as to judge the general terrain! Dodge those obstacles!

Gradually...... the blue energy stolen by the [Stealing Fruit] took effect, and it made Leo's perception begin to become beyond ordinary people! Let Leo judge the approximate shape of the beach by his voice, so he accelerates, accelerates, accelerates! Speed up again! The first stage is not over until you can run 20 laps at your top speed!

Of course...... Even if Leo was a genius, he couldn't do it in a day, so it took a long time to persevere.

He has a precise workout schedule.

Phase 1...... It is to first reach a state of being able to run freely and live a basic life in complete darkness.

For example, exercising in circles, such as cooking and washing dishes.

Phase 2...... It must be in a state where it can fight and hunt.

There are many wild beasts in the jungle, which are the food source of Saron, and will also be the food source of Leo.

What beast to fight against, to judge the target's movement through perception, or some special abilities such as venom. At this stage, Leo was almost completely accustomed to the darkness.

Then came the third stage......

Exercise and sublimation of combat techniques.

The swordsmanship stolen from Flovad gave Leo the basic knack of using the sword, but he didn't have a system. In addition, Leo didn't have time to go to the kendo gym to learn the genre of swordsmanship, so he could only explore it by himself.

How to grope for it?

Leo didn't know either.

You can only continue to train the basic strokes such as pumping, carrying, lifting, checking, hitting, stabbing, pointing, collapsing, stirring, pressing, splitting, intercepting, washing, clouding, hanging, teasing, chopping, picking, wiping, cutting, piercing, and looping.

Since there are the most swords in One Piece, Leo also uses swords, so he trains swordsmanship, which is also called basic kendo here.

Probably sweeping, splitting, dialing, cutting, sweeping, nai, chopping, sudden, etc.

Later, he found that these were too miscellaneous and of little use, so Leo reduced the amount of training and only used it as a daily warm-up, and began to train only one kind of swordsmanship.

It is also the only swordsmanship that Leo has searched for on the Internet in his previous life and remembers.

It's called knife drawing.

The knife drawing technique was just trained and played by Leo in his previous life because he was bored, and later gave up due to various conditions...... But the whole process is clearly remembered.

Grip of the hilt - The grip of the knife drawing technique is different from the normal grip.

Visuality – Leo doesn't need to look, just perceive.

Tuna.

The cutting method of the carp mouth - if the force is too large, it can also be ignored.

Unplugged.

Chop down.

Blood vibration.

Na knife.

Among them, Li Ou remembered that there were nine different directions, namely: "Tang Zhu", "Robe Chop", "Reverse Robe", "Left Thorn", "Right Thorn", "Left Cut", "Right Cut", "Reverse Wind", "Thorn Sword".

These Leo also remember it clearly.

So I started training day after day.

Regarding the training, Leo had an old man who was very impressed in his mind. It is the hunter president Nitro in the anime "Full-time Hunter", when his strength reached its peak, he began a practice called "gratitude", practicing his palm technique every day, step by step, carefully and slowly, and wielding 20,000 times a day until two years later...... I found that after 20,000 waves, the sun had just risen.

That level is undoubtedly very terrifying, and it is also the realm that Leo yearns for.

So he also started this stupid method.

Over and over again, step by step, slowly and seriously repeat the steps of drawing the knife, nine directions.

Without Nitro's perseverance, he would not have slashed 20,000 times, 9,000 times, and 1,000 times in each direction!

If you don't finish practicing, you don't sleep, you don't eat.

Since then, a teenager has appeared on a desert island in the West Sea, wielding a knife against the treacherous ocean tirelessly wielding a knife.

Cut the sea, cut the sky, cut the sun.

It seems to be cut to the end of the world.

Day after day, Leo felt the sound of the beach, the lapping of the waves, and the chirping of seagulls; Feel the comfort of the sun, feel the caress of the breeze, feel the salty moisture, feel the oppression of the darkness gradually being pried open, and the magnificent vitality bursts out.

This is One Piece.

It's the West Sea.

It's a desert island.

It's 1502.

A boy named Leo stands at the forefront of history.
