On the uninhabited beach of Liao, the figure who was sweating and practicing day after day put down the giant tree on his shoulder.

It's been six years, and the once thin short hair has long been draped over his shoulders, and the thick trunk is densely engraved with the word "Zheng", which is the testimony of Takichen's practice in the past six years.

For more than 2,000 days and nights, in order to adapt to the restraint of the sea water on the able, Takichen can be said to have tried his best to "torture" himself.

Finally, he broke through the "shackles" and barely adapted to the curse from the sea, as long as he didn't jump into the sea to death, he would basically not be affected.

I still can't swim, but at least I don't feel weak from exposure to the sea. Perhaps, even the nemesis of the capable, Hailou Stone, can also have a certain degree of resistance.

Swordsmanship, physical arts, and the development of fruit abilities, the knowledge that he once learned and mastered in his hometown have all been turned into weapons to clear away obstacles that try to stop Takichen's progress. They are like old friends, and when you really come into contact with them, they will become familiar again.

"The impermissibility of peacetime is just a joke in a world where strength reigns supreme. Even if there are rules, there will still be people on the field who choose to take risks. ”

Let's not talk about swordsmanship for now, but just lay a solid and solid foundation. Miscellaneous but not refined, this should have been a "big taboo", but Takichen was not greedy enough to eat them all in one go, but chose the training that focused on physical fitness "for the purpose of laying the foundation of swordsmanship", and combined the sanda he had studied professionally and the knowledge he had mastered to study killing skills. It can be said that although Takichen still looks like a teenager, unlike the helpless women and children, he has a mixed martial arts technique that has been tailored for himself, and he has mastered and used it in the past six years.

After physical training, it is natural to develop fruit ability, which is also the plan that was decided and strictly implemented. When the air is compressed to the extreme, it will produce a powerful impact force when released in one breath, and if the impact force is controlled within a fixed range and released in a certain direction, the destructive force is not much worse than that of a firearm.

Like a bullet that flies out, even an inconspicuous soft air mass can be used as a sharp weapon that can easily penetrate flesh and blood.

"It seems that the lessons I took when I was a student were not in vain, at least the knowledge of physics is worthy of the teacher who taught at the beginning."

Perhaps he had been alone for too long, and Takichen had become accustomed to having fun alone, and he said "Have you ever been shot by the air" as he learned the tone of the yellow ape, while reaching out his finger and touching the trunk of the tree. The move is similar to the "Finger Gun", but it is very different, and Takichen only needs to pay a small price to make the high-pressure air produce a powerful impact to destroy the target.

"If you don't use force, it's difficult."

Takita's attack move, which he named "Bullet", left a thumb-sized hole in the trunk of the tree, as if it had been slammed into something.

However, this ability has great limitations and can only be launched at the moment of contact with an object, but the "bullet" also has the advantage of strong impact penetration and instant formation. Of course, only if there is air.

Relying on his modern identity and active thinking ability, Takichen recreated the secret technique of "Gatekeeper" Kojiro Sasaki in Fate-Tsubame Hui, making full use of the abilities granted by the Devil Fruit to recreate this lost swordsmanship in the world.

However, the size of the power is not something that Takichen can control.

All that is mastered is form, but there is no practical point in having empty moves, and if it is only because of a whim, there is nothing wrong with it.

On this island, danger is limited to ferocious beasts, and the way Takichen knows how to quickly increase his strength is to put himself in a desperate situation.

Although there is no one to guide him, wandering between life and death is undoubtedly the best mentor to stimulate potential, the feeling of racing against time between life and death, the feeling of making the blood boil all over the body, dancing on the tip of the knife with the sound of a rapid heartbeat, as if he has the power of magic.

Those experiences that had remained in Takichen's memory and accompanied him for a long time had long since become a part of his body with the passage of time, and between this life and death, little by little, slowly emerged from the depths of his soul. And seeing and hearing the domineering spirit, it was in such an environment that he awakened and gradually became a part of Takichen's body.

On that moonless night, like the eyes of the night, they discern the way forward for him, and warn him of the danger that is coming. During this time, in addition to his own inability to resist danger, Takichen also deliberately forgot about his elemental ability, just to avoid that he would not stagnate because of the loss of his sense of crisis.

"Light body, this feels pretty good!"

In this world, there is an ability that is also called "moon step". Takichen was active in the air showing off his clumsy dance moves, but suddenly he fell out of the air and lay down in the sand like a worm. "Well, I'll admit I'm just a half-ass."

"If I am most satisfied with the 'Invisible Blade' that has begun to take shape, it is the ability to stay in the air for a short time. Killing people invisibly, it is also a good choice for pretending to be forced. ”

A mysterious smile appeared on Takita's face, he must have fantasized again about himself standing in front of a bunch of villains with his hands behind his back, and then saying "" in his mouth, and the villains suddenly all fell in a pool of blood.

On a desert island where no one speaks of loneliness, after a long time, ethereal fantasies may become the best form of entertainment to pass the time, and even people will become a little self-talking. Of course, although Takichen will say strange things as a pastime when he is bored, he has always aimed to become famous in his heart, vowing to cultivate the "invisible blade" to the point of easily cutting through steel.

The direction of the fruit's development had been decided six years earlier, and the "problem of how to eliminate this movement process", which had been doubtful at the time, was solved after a long period of experimentation, although it was still at the stage where it was possible to cut off the branches.

"Poof!"

"The smell of sea water is still so annoying, at least for me."

Between the reefs, Takichen held a touch of coolness, and the salty taste permeated between his lips and teeth.

The young man reflected in the water had more fortitude between his eyebrows, and his slender hair was also shining with some crystal clear droplets.

After a brief wash, Takizu walked to a place with more trees, which were tall and straight, and had accompanied him for six years.

Now, he's leaving here in search of a new island inhabited by humans.

"I'm sorry, but I can't fly in the air with my ability, and I can only use your body as a ship to carry me to the east coast."

Takijin bowed deeply to the fruit trees in front of him to express his gratitude, which can be regarded as repaying them for their nurturing grace over the years as food and clothing parents. Of course, Takichen is not so hypocritical, just because he needs a means of transportation, and in order to remember their kindness more deeply when he leaves, he has to use his trunk as a raft material, which can be regarded as the best place to go.

"Slash the air."

With the moment the mind flashed, the five thick and straight tree trunks splashed with puffs of dust on the sand, and the activation of the ability had already been proficient in the heart, and the roots did not need to shout out the name of the move, in the end, the name of the move was just to play handsome, and there was no reason to say it.

Yes, that's right! It's just that there are no cards, and it's nice to have a name.

Unlike the Wind Blade, the "Cutting Void" does not have any movement trajectory, nor does it need to take some time to hit the target like the Wind Blade, and the concept of creating it is to act directly on the target, so there is no trajectory at all, which makes the "Cutting Void" unique. Even if there is an obstacle in front of Takichen, it will not have any effect at all, and there is no disadvantage that it can be intercepted like the Wind Blade.

At that moment, the air around the trunk quickly condensed into a sharp blade, cutting it off after several attacks at the same time.

In the process of practicing, Takichen once fell into distress because of "cutting the air". How to make the air cut off the target like a sharp blade at the moment of zero contact with the object?

Suddenly waking up, so that Takichen has a sudden sense of enlightenment, the "high-pressure air cutting" in the laser cutting machine is not also the use of air to achieve metal cutting? Of course, these involve other knowledge points are digressions.

To put it simply, it is Takichen who uses the energy generated by the high-frequency vibration of air particles to achieve "slashing".

"Slashing" is another attack method created by Takichen after "Bullet", and what the two have in common is the destructiveness of an instantaneous burst at zero distance.

However, the "bullet" is a single attack with a strong impact that must be effective after contact with the target, while the "slash" can achieve a razor-sharp blade that ignores distance and number limitations. Of course, the premise is that Takichen has enough strength.

"The high-frequency vibrations of air particles cause the temperature to rise, but when the vibrations stop completely, the temperature starts to drop again. Perhaps, my ability is not just to manipulate the air, but to be above it, to change the climate. ”

An inexplicable sense of excitement emerged from his body, and Takichen seemed to be aware of the extraordinariness of this devil fruit, but suddenly he was splashed with a basin of cold water and let out a decadent sigh:

"My current abilities don't seem to allow me to confirm such a conjecture."

Blizzards, hurricanes, high temperatures, extreme cold, these climate disasters make people shudder to think about.

After all, a person's power is limited, and it is because of this that the irresistible power of natural disasters can make people even more frightening.

Takichen himself also understands that in the past six years, he has already confirmed that this is just a fruit that controls the air, and does not have the ability to manipulate the weather, and those words have naturally become candy to coax himself.

But even so, during the development of "Chopping the Sky", Takitashi also discovered the heat energy generated by the high-frequency vibration of the air. That kind of high temperature, as long as there is enough time, Takichen is fully capable of showing it perfectly. The specific reference is the thermite sword (although it is only for the weld door), but the wood is not up to the task, and after a little experimentation, it becomes burned dust.

"The people in this world are really favored by God."

Takichen punched the trunk of the tree, but instead it grazed the skin, and the blood fell to the ground down his fingers, perhaps just envy the special racial talent of some people.

"But thanks to this Devil Fruit, I have the confidence to embark on a journey, otherwise with this weak body, even the hope of surviving on the island seems very slim."

The people who live in the world of One Piece are notoriously perverted, and they can't be judged by the standards of normal people at all, which is not like Takichen, even if it is training, it has to be step-by-step and gradual.

"That's not enough, they need to be fixed with vines."

After stacking the trunks neatly, Takichen tied them together with the sturdy rattan that hung between the branches. Using the power conferred by the fruit, after ten and a half hours of long preparation, a simple and sturdy raft was born.

Although it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, it's indispensable as a temporary means of transportation for Takitashi to leave the island.

There is a very important reason for Takichen to leave this island, that is, there are basically no more creatures on the island that can pose a threat to him, so he has no choice but to set off to find other islands inhabited by humans. Besides, Takichen has been staying here for a long time, and the world is so big, he also wants to go out and have a look.

Another reason for leaving here is also because this isolated island can bring him only boring physical exercise, and the ability to fruit that has almost stagnated. Because a comfortable environment can make people lazy, especially when there is no threat, so this kind of leisurely retirement life is still left until you have the strength to reign over the world.

The east coast is not far from where Takijin is located, but it just happens that the coastal route is blocked by a natural cliff. During these six years, Takichen would occasionally bring the game left over from hunting to the relatively barren village on the east coast in exchange for daily necessities, and occasionally encounter passing merchant ships and sell the furs of wild beasts to merchants.

Since this small village was so poor in the eyes of the merchants that there was not much profit at all, at most they would stop by once in a while, and even the pirates did not look down on it. Takichen also took advantage of this occasional opportunity to sell furs to these merchants, and the money he had saved in the past six years was now coming in handy.

The people of the village make a living from fishing, and have been living for decades adhering to the concept of fishing for generations, which has created one or two fishing boats in every household in the village, and by the way, it has also solved the problem of Takichen going to sea, after all, he is not willing to wait for the merchant ship that does not know when it will come again, although it is a very irrational behavior to go to sea alone.

After buying a fishing boat with Bailey, Takichen used the remaining Bailey to buy a lot of pickled sea fish, and then moved the food he had prepared earlier, a large gourd filled with fresh water, and fruits that could replenish water to the fishing boat, and took the simple fishing rod by the way, after all, no one likes to drink distilled water, and the fishing rod can also be used as a pastime to pass the time.

In the ocean, sunlight increases the demand for water from living organisms, and the large leaf fan naturally becomes the best shade tool.

"Set sail, set sail!"
