The blue sea and blue sky, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

White Bud stood on the deck of the Little Bird, surrounded by sailors like him.

Mango stood in front of everyone: "Today we are going to train how to use weapons. ”

In front of him, a bunch of weapons were placed, both axes and scimitars.

For these weapons, the pirates on deck are familiar with them. Because in recent days, they have been making these weapons.

These weapons are all made of wood.

Mango hired a wooden class to teach the pirates how to cut the shape of their weapons out of wooden blocks.

"There are many types of weapons. Mango stretched out his foot, and with a flick of his hand, he picked up a wooden dagger from the pile of weapons.

He grabbed the wooden dagger and made a forward stabbing motion: "The dagger raid is the most convenient and most suitable for combat use in a small cabin. ”

He threw away the dagger and picked up a simple axe: "Boarding axe." We often use it to cut rigging and rope nets, and of course, to cut off enemy hooks. In many cases, this weapon also helps us to climb into the cabin and pry open the hatch. ”

He threw away his wooden axe and picked up a wooden knife: "Sailor's knife! This is our main weapon, and it is shorter than the usual sword." This way, it is more adapted to the environment of melee combat on a ship. We use it to chop. Sometimes it's the enemy, sometimes it's our dinner knife, which is used to cut food. ”

"In addition to this, there are short swords, flying hooks, muskets, cannons, ......"

Mane Ge is introduced one by one.

Short swords are often used to stab, parry, and require skill to use. The chopping effect is not as good as that of a sailor knife.

The use of flying hooks is very simple. It is to throw it out and hook the side of the enemy ship. Train a few times and you can see results.

Muskets are expensive and not everyone can equip them. Coupled with the ease of use, Mango doesn't plan to train this content.

As for artillery, that's another point.

There's a lot you need to master to be a good pirate.

It's not just sail and other tasks, most pirates have to master the use of both cold and hot weapons.

"Next, I'm going to teach you the most basic movements. Mango began to demonstrate.

Daggers, boarding axes, sailor knives, short swords, flying hooks, etc., were all used by him in turn. This kind of instructor's work, Mane Ge is very familiar with it.

Next, he distributed wooden practice weapons, and almost everyone mastered a set.

First, he practiced in unison, and then Mane Ge ordered people to place a row of humanoid wooden targets and began to practice in groups against the wooden targets.

Mane Ge corrects his movements while observing the combat masters.

Some people stand out, and they are all secretly remembered by Mane.

"It's boring. Suma played with the wooden dagger in his hand. As a thief, he is best at this small weapon. Of course, he also uses axes, short swords, etc., better than ordinary people.

"Hey, young people are working hard enough. Suma saw the white buds on the side who were already sweating profusely with serious training on his face, and praised him.

Under the scorching sun, the white buds' eyes are shining brightly, and the sweat is crystal clear, reflecting the sunshine and the vitality of youth.

He practiced with a lot of motivation.

On the one hand, it was because he was inspired by the love of the aristocratic lady Nishihagi and wanted to become a knight. On the other hand, his near-death on the Monster Island has created a huge thirst for power.

However, Manego's gaze swept over the white buds without the slightest pause.

Bai Bud is not lacking in courage, and on the Mystery Island, he is also fighting on the front line in the face of terrifying transformation monsters. What he lacks is not practice.

On Monster Island, he began to practice the use of weapons.

What he lacks is blood.

The boring training lasted for three hours, and the pirates gradually became impatient and agitated.

"I really don't understand, what's the point of doing these simple trainings!"

"I would have used a scimitar a long time ago. ”

"Captain Lion's Flag won't forget it's time to eat, right?"

The pirates were strictly supervised, hungry, and complaining, but they could only grit their teeth and practice hard because of the power of silver.

"Alright, let's eat. Mango's words were like a light shining through the darkness, rescuing the pirates in training.

Mane's face was not very good-looking.

He deliberately delayed his meal, opting for the most boring exercises, and tested the limits of the pirates' mental endurance.

Mane's low military literacy made Mango realize once again that he was not in the barracks, but leading a group of pirates of mixed quality. Among these people, there were many sailors, old pirate oilmen, and even people who were going to sea for the first time.

During the meal, Mango announced that he would have a real combat contact in the afternoon. This news shook the pirates' hearts, and they had had enough of the boring training in the morning.

There are also some people who are thoughtful.

Suma smiled in his heart, guessing that this was a selection process.

Bai Ya was a little nervous, as a mountain hunter, he hunted a lot of beasts. On the Mystery Island, there are also a lot of monsters that kill and injure. But he's never fought against anyone yet. More precisely, when he was in Harbor Crescent, he was kidnapped by thieves and used as a hostage.

There are rewards and punishments for actual combat training.

The winner has Warcraft meat to eat, and the loser needs to clean the deck or be on duty at night.

"If I eat Warcraft meat, I will definitely be able to make my Dou Qi cultivation faster and better!"

With such strong expectations, Bai Ya asked Suma for advice: "Senior, what should you pay attention to when fighting with people?"

Suma had already observed him, and he did not hesitate to point out: "Your weapon is very skillful, but it lacks variety, and it is too straightforward. When you meet a familiar hand, it is easy to be seen through. ”

Bai Ya and Beasts and Demon ** Feng, these opponents all have limited intelligence, but people are different.

"So what should I do?" said Bai Ya continued to ask.

Suma patted him on the shoulder: "Look at your understanding, this needs to be practiced more, it is actual combat practice." Practice more and you'll improve. ”

"But I'd love to eat monster meat. Bai Ya clenched his fists.

"Hehe, then I'll teach you a few tricks, so that you can use them temporarily. "Suma decided to take this little brother with him.

In his opinion, Bai Ya is the person next to him. The more Bai Bud wins, the more he can increase his prestige.

Opponents are selected by draw.

Bai Ya's first opponent was an old fisherman.

He was thin, wrinkled, and had a gray beard.

Bai Bud was nervous, and the old fisherman was even more nervous than him.

"Just go up and cut it directly. Suma reminded loudly.

Bai Ya rushed forward, holding the knife in both hands, raising it high above his head, and slashing three times.

The old fisherman resisted with difficulty, was unable to do so, and regressed again and again. When it came to the third knife, he couldn't resist it, and the wooden knife was knocked out by Bai Ya.

Bai Ya hurriedly withdrew his hand, but it was not so easy, and the wooden knife hit the old fisherman's arm heavily.

The old fisherman screamed in pain and fell on the deck.

"I'm sorry!" Bai Ya hurriedly went up to help, looking apologetic.

The old fisherman opened his hand, glared at him hatefully, gritted his teeth and stood up himself.

Bai Ya's second opponent is a middle-aged man.

His hair was lush like a chicken coop, and his name was chicken feathers.

Chicken feathers and big heads and salted fish are in the same group, and before the battle, the three of them lowered their heads and talked for a while, looking at Bai Ya with their eyes from time to time.

Suma was also by Bai Ya's side, giving him advice: "Your current opponent is stronger than yours. Although he is just an ordinary person like you, he has also cultivated his fighting spirit, and his cultivation is much higher than yours. ”

Bai Ya hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Hey, hey. Suma shrugged his shoulders, "As long as the other party is not at the bronze level, the gap in Dou Qi cultivation can be completely crossed." You can't fight hard, you have to play a little trick. Anyway......, all weapons can be used!

Suma muttered, and Bai Ya nodded repeatedly. Yunnan

Soon, the two clashed.

Bai Bud let out a loud shout and raised his sailor knife to pounce on the chicken feathers.

Ji Mao sneered, fearless, and straightened his knife.

Seeing that the two were about to collide together, Bai Ya suddenly threw out the sailor's wooden knife.

Ji Feather was taken aback, and subconsciously hurriedly dodged, and used the wooden knife in his hand to hit Bai Ya's throwing wooden knife.

Bai Ya was holding a wooden dagger at this time, walking quickly, and directly hit Ji Mao's arms.

The chicken feather was knocked to the ground by Bai Ya and tried to turn over, but Bai Ya's wooden dagger was already across his neck.

"Boy, you are cheating!" the chicken feathers were not angry, and glared at Bai Ya viciously.

Bai Ya grinned: "You lost." ”

"Hmph, you wait for me!" Ji Feather pushed the white buds away and got up with a scolding. If it was all based on strength, he surpassed Bai Ya, but he was attacked by Bai Ya and succeeded.

Of course, this also exposed his shortcomings in actual combat.

White Bud returned victorious, very grateful to Suma.

According to the current ranking, as long as he defeats one more person, he will be able to eat Warcraft meat.

However, when his opponent appeared, Suma's face collapsed: "Throw in the towel." ”

The opponent is called the black hand.

It's not his real name, it's a nickname.

Because his hands, no matter how they were cleaned, were dirty and black.

This is characteristic of the miners who dig the coal in the heart of the nest.

Many suspect that Blackhand was a slave miner who escaped from the mines.

The taciturn black hand has bronze-level strength, and it is not uncommon for the slaves to have transcendentals. Among the slave gladiators in the gladiatorial arena, there were even gold-level transcendents.

"Isn't there a possibility of victory?" Bai Ya was unwilling.

Suma shook his head: "You are just an ordinary person, he is a bronze fighter." The difference in strength is too big to be solved by some tricks. ”

"It's too early to give up, right?" Bai Ya still wanted to try.

Suma shook his head and sneered, "Young man!"

Bai Ya went up, and he was really beaten, but he was helplessly defeated, and he was very sorry to see that the monster meat missed him.

At the end of the actual combat training, Mane Ge ordered the three knives to preside over the awarding of Warcraft meat.

Although Suma is cheating and slippery, his strength is still enough, and he is one of the winners.

Mango promoted the winners to petty bosses on the spot, and announced that such actual combat training meetings would be held frequently, and the reward and punishment system would remain unchanged.

As night fell, the day's hard training was over.

Some of the pirates had blue noses and swollen faces, some had sore bodies, and no longer gathered on the deck.

In the sailor's cabin, Bai Ya sat in his hammock and watched enviously as Suma lay on the hammock beside him, who was stunned as he looked at a piece of demonic beast meat in his hand.

Sensing Bai Ya's gaze, Su Ma smiled: "Boy, this is a good thing, I won't give it to you." ”

Bai Ya nodded and smiled: "Senior, I don't have this luxury. Besides, the Warcraft meat he earned was comfortable to eat. Mane...... Didn't Captain Lion Flag say that there will be this kind of actual combat training in the future. ”

Suma shook his head: "Boy, you are too optimistic. Captain Lion Flag is not a fool, if you look at today's winners, they are basically bronze. They will be the winners in the future. The number of winners was cleverly set. Don't look at you as if you ended up with bad luck today, it's actually normal. You're always going to run into bronze opponents. ”

"So, don't look at you as one step away from winning. In fact, this step is very far away. It's not as simple as you think. ”

Bai Ya was stunned, and immediately became worried: "Then what should I do?"

"It's very simple, become bronze-level, and you have a lot of hope!" said Suma as he took a bite of the beast's flesh and said vaguely in his mouth.

Bai Ya Zaileng: "If I want to become a bronze fighter quickly, I have to eat Warcraft meat first." ”

The current predicament is a dead knot for Bai Ya.

Suma hesitated for a moment: "Then do you have any money? If you have money, I will sell you this piece of demonic beast meat." ”

Bai Bud shook his head.

Suma sighed, "I know you're a poor boy." Then you can only learn from the old me, practice hard first, work hard for a while, and break through to the bronze level. ”

"Huh?"

Suma asked again, "What kind of fighting spirit do you practice?"

"White River is vindictive. ”

"Oh, that's good. It's much better than I was back then. How was your cultivation and how much vindictive energy could you generate?" Suma continued to ask, "It's inconvenient to say, forget it. ”

Bai Ya told Suma the truth, and the wisps of fighting energy he generated spread to his body, as if it had dissipated.

"Then you're done. Suma shrugged, "Don't expect to break through to the bronze level in your life." ”

"Huh?"

Su Ma glanced at him and continued to put the demonic beast meat in his mouth: "Your qualifications are too ordinary, and it can even be said that you don't have the qualifications to practice." The Dou Qi technique I cultivated at the beginning was much worse than yours, but every time I generated, the Dou Qi was like a hair. You don't even have a hair, and you know that there is no hope at first glance. ”

Bai Bud blinked again and again, hard to believe.

Suma continued, "Do you know when I broke through to the bronze rank? ”

"Alas, that's all I've had for the rest of my life. There is no hope for the black iron level!"

"Even a better vindictive recipe doesn't work. ”

"Because the fighting spirit is all matched with blood. It's the bloodline that counts!"

"You're just a normal person. ”

Bai Ya opened his mouth slightly, his face was pale, his mouth was dry, and he lost his soul.

Suma was a little unbearable and comforted: "This is the reality, you ...... It's good to know sooner. There are many, many people in the same situation as you, all over the world. Most of the people on our ship are ordinary people. Nothing to disappoint. ”

"But ......" Bai Ya's throat rolled, and he couldn't say the whole thing in a panic.

"Ah——!" Suma sighed, finally finishing the whole piece of monster meat, "Let's go back to the Justice." ”

"The pirate ship trained hard and gave out monster meat. This is not something that a normal pirate captain can do. Our Lion Flag Captain is ambitious. ”

"If you stay here, you won't have a good time in the future. ”

"To be honest, if I want to board the ship, I just hug my thick legs, drink some soup, and make a little money. I don't want to fight and kill all the time, it's too risky. ”

"I made a mistake by bringing you here. Suma looked at Shirabud.

Bai Ya's eyes lost focus, and he didn't hear Suma's words at all.

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

Bai Ya woke up, he was like a prisoner sentenced to death, and asked with the last luck: "Senior, is there no other way?"

"Alas——!" Suma sighed again, spreading his hands, "what can be done? ”

"You know, there are rabbits in the grasslands, and there are cheetahs. ”

"It's the same with people. At birth, you decide whether you are a rabbit or a cheetah. ”

"Don't look at the fact that people look the same as each other, in fact, the difference between people is much bigger than that of rabbits and cheetahs. ”

"Boy, you're just a normal guy. Don't overthink it. ”

Bai Ya was speechless, he felt very weak.

This level of weakness is unprecedented!

Even the few experiences of dying on Mystery Island were far less weak and uncomfortable than they were at this time.
