Greeted by the townsfolk and greeted by the guards lined up on both sides, Bucky led the cadres back to the Rubik's Cube hall and to the king's study.

Then, while chatting with everyone in a relaxed and ordinary atmosphere, various things that have happened in the past six months, while flipping through Lilina's notebook that records the events of the past six months.

Because of the existence of Bucky, the backbone of the whole ship, everyone's enthusiasm has soared, and there is no hiding and taboo to say one by one, you say something to me, there is a coaxing and a dispute, and the study has become very lively.

After chatting for more than an hour, Bucky led the cadres and captains to the empty courtyard, deliberately testing everyone's strength and asking everyone to compete with him in turn.

The test subjects were Kabaji, Mochi, Shuma, and the six captains, while the more logistical and support personnel such as Lilina, Kaya, Mikul, and Nirok did not.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

At the beginning of the competition, Kabaji was the first to appear, after Bucky's nod, he drew his sword and attacked, Bucky stood in place, catching attacks like a strong wind, between attack and defense, he knew that Kabaji did not use the weapon to dominate, but he did not deliberately reserve, and the cherry blossom snow in his hand was running from all directions in an endless manner, and he also hid the real killing move in the endless wind and sword rain, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Compared to more than half a year ago, Kabaji is indeed much stronger, especially in terms of experience and skills, which has improved a lot of grades, perhaps thanks to the battle with the BIG MOM Pirates in the past six months.

The point of the encounter with Kabaji was over, and then Mochi was brought on the field.

Kabaji and Mochi, as the first batch of cadres to follow them, although their strength was not strong in the early days, but after experiencing life and death difficulties and various arduous cultivation, they were already two people in the past.

There has always been nothing impossible in the world of One Piece, and even ordinary people like Kirby and Berumeber can be reborn under Karp's training, not to mention them who have long been in the sea.

Moki is a Fruit Keeper with both iron and armor domineering, and his fighting style is biased towards heavy and hard defense, so Bucky launched an offensive.

After combining the ability of the Stored Fruit, the Iron Block, and the Armed Color Domineering, Moki's current defensive power is indeed very amazing, and he can eat Bucky more than ten times and use seven or eight points of strength to impact unscathed, not only that simple, the moment Bucky hits Moki's body, he can feel the energy storm generated by the surrounding space.

This is the Devil Fruit Ability Awakening. Mochi mentioned this in the conversation just now, and his ability can now affect a certain range of space around him, and the power he receives will also evolve around him in various forms of energy to fight back. As long as the enemy attacks him at close range, he will be counterattacked by a constant storm of energy, and he will be in trouble.

However, there are pros and cons, Mochi has a super high defense, while on the other hand, he is much weaker in attack and flexibility, and if the opponent is sharp and wants to escape, he will have no way to stop it.

Seeing Mochi's "steel and iron bones", Bucky also felt a little surprised, he had personally experienced Kaido's perverted body a few days ago, and although Mochi couldn't reach that level, he could also approach Kaido's body in an ordinary state after defending with all his strength, I'm afraid that before his physical strength is exhausted, few people in the world can break through his defense!

The battle with Mochi was over, followed by the fight with Xiuma.

After fighting, Xiu Ma is best at speed, although he usually has no heart and lungs, but his combat talent is indeed terrifying, the shaving and moon steps in the navy six styles can already be used by him as he likes, with his long-range hits, if it is a battle, I am afraid that the enemy will even be difficult to touch the corners of his clothes.

Then, Bucky fought with the six captains one by one, whether it was Jody Lane's man-eating bee form and Jas's crocodile form, or Tink's night energy and Moses' stickiness, or Doyle's swordsmanship and Carl's physical skills, all of which have been improved a lot in the past six months.

It was almost evening at the end of the strength test, and Bucky was very satisfied with the increase in the strength of the people, and instructed Shuma to prepare the food, while he went to take a shower, returned to the restaurant, and enjoyed the food he had not eaten in a long time with the others.

After the meal, everyone went back to rest.

……

The next day, the King's Study.

Bucky sat at his desk, flipping through the latest newspapers and reading the latest news.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Klockdahl followed behind Luigkar, and without saying a word, his hands slammed on the desk, causing the teacups on the table to jolt.

Luigkar scolded, "Sand crocodile, what do you want to do?!" ”

Bucky looked up, reached out and waved, "Carl, you want to get out, he just wants to talk to me alone." ”

"Yes." Luigkar answered and exited the room.

"Crocodile brother doesn't seem to be in a good mood...... Bucky put down the newspaper, "there's nothing you can't say, you don't look like you're here to cooperate." ”

"It's really unpleasant...... Don't think that when you become the [King of the Seven Martial Seas], you can see no one, Lao Tzu was already ten years ago! ”

Klockdahl had a bad face, and in his opinion, Bucky deliberately delayed meeting him for a day, as if he was playing tricks on him, and he had always been rebellious, and he was naturally unhappy with Bucky's approach.

Bucky doesn't think so, he doesn't attach much importance to cooperating with Klockdahl, it's just dispensable, but if the two sides cooperate, he must dominate, and that's what Bucky wants to express - I don't care if it's compatible or not, but since you're looking for me to cooperate, then follow my rules.

Obviously, what he meant was not clearly conveyed.

"What do you want me to work with?" Bucky turned a blind eye to Klockdahl's anger at the moment, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and then said unhurriedly.

"Humph!"

Klockdahl snorted coldly, gradually calmed down his mentality, and got straight to the point, "Team up to kill Blackbeard Marshall. Titch. ”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Bucky's eyes, "He has an entanglement with you?" ”

"Nope." Klockdahl sat down in his chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said coldly, "I just can't get used to him...... By the way, if you want to find something to do, it's as simple as that. ”

"Blackbeard ignited the guiding line for the outbreak of war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy, and it can be regarded as indirectly killing Whitebeard......" Bucky looked at Klockdahl's face, "I'm a little curious, what happened between you and Whitebeard in the past?" ”

"You don't need to know."

"Then why did you come to me?"

"I just happened to be passing through here." Klockdahl paused, and said in a very stiff tone, "Compared to the other guys, what you did in the top war is quite reliable...... But don't think that if you are in the limelight in the war at the top, you can see no one, and if you don't want to cooperate, I don't want to waste time. ”

"Kill Blackbeard...... "Bucky muttered, smiling nonchalantly, "let me think about it." ”

"How long will it take?"

Bucky was noncommittal, "It's not something to be decided casually. ”

Without further ado, Klockdahl got up to leave, paused as he reached the door, and said, "My patience is limited. With that, he walked out of the room.

Soon, Luigkar walked into the room, and Bucky took a sip of the teacup in a slight distraction, slowly put the teacup down, retracted his thoughts, and said, "Let the guests of the Flower Country come over." ”

"Yes."
