"What a tragic battlefield, this trace—"

A few hours later, a naval fleet sped close to Oden. A few kilometers away, the brigadier general of the Beihai branch, standing on the deck, saw the dock almost in ruins, shocked and angry.

"It's Balff Tani, we're late."

The colonel of the branch next to him took over the topic, and he couldn't tell whether it was regret or happiness in his tone.

Encountering that white dragon at sea is an out-and-out disaster for the vast majority of pirates and navies.

As long as the opponent flies into the sky and breathes, the battleship will immediately turn into an ice mound. - In this era, there are not many means of 'air defense', and you can only rely on expert sniping.

"It looks like the Akanlia side is winning badly."

As the warship approached, the Commodore found that it was clearly Odense's civilians cleaning the battlefield, and a large number of pirate-looking personnel tied up in a corner of the dock.

Originally, in the eyes of the brigadier general, even if they came at the first time, most of them would face cities that had been reduced to ruins and slaughtered, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Have you ever heard of any strong men in Akanya?"

"Nope,"

The colonel next to him shook his head and then added.

"It could be pirate infighting, or it could be a strong man passing by..."

"Wave the flag and prepare to land."

"Let's see what the hell is going on."

————

At this time,

Located in the castle behind the city of Oden, halfway up the hill.

"I'm sorry, but it has been used as a military camp since the king moved his office to the city's lord's palace 200 years ago. The environment is simple, and I ask you to bear with me..."

A city official apologized to the 'teenagers' lying on the couch.

It is different from what most people think: a castle with beautiful frescoes, lavishly decorated, princesses and princes falling in love; The sturdy, thick, narrow windows of a real castle make the interior dimly lit, cold and damp, and there is no comfort at all.

After all, the original function of the castle was to defend itself against foreign enemies!

"It's okay, go about your own business."

Rosie waved his hand as he picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.

If you want to talk about the poor environment, can there still be the difference between the bilge of the ship where he and Dover lived in the first place?

For Rossi, Dover, Pica, Torrepol, and Diamanti, who were wrapped in bandages and eating and drinking, the environment here was already very good.

Although the natural lighting is not good, and the windmill generator has been destroyed a lot, as the city's 'life-saving benefactor', it must not be disadvantaged to Rossi and others.

The hall is lit by the large number of candles on the surrounding walls, and the dazzling array of food is eaten at will.

Everyone's wounds were cleaned with 'life water', bandaged and sutured by Dover's thread ability, and they all buried their heads in munching to recover their strength.

"I said, I said,"

To this day, Torrebol still can't believe it,

"Rosie, did you really defeat Balf Tani 'White Dragon'?"

That's the captain of the White Dragon Pirates, a legendary figure in the North Sea. Although Rossi's strength is good, compared to the North Sea Overlord...

"How is that possible?"

Covered in bandages, Rossi rolled his eyes, not looking at his previous one-man rival Balph Tani, who saved the entire city and was named a hero.

In fact, he was already seriously injured, but the other party was just cut off on the neck.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of the people here, at most I just dragged the woman and made her retreat."

"And this is not my strength alone: the fruit of Jorah's art, the fruit of the poet's encouragement, and the domineering spirit that I have just comprehended, I can only make a few moves with the other party in a short time."

“··· That's pretty awesome, too,"

Diamanti sincerely sighed that he was the least injured here.

Although he was punched into the captain's room by the 'bald' Alok, he was actually just unconscious, which made Diamanti, who had always been quite arrogant, look gloomy.

His companions are fighting, and he lies down when he goes to war... Even if no one blames him, he can't pass the level in his heart.

"Shouldn't it be a good thing for families to get stronger?"

Dover, who pushed his sunglasses, hooked his finger, and a sausage on the table in front of everyone automatically flew in front of him.

"After seeing the No. 1 Pirates in the North Sea, I know the gap between us and the strong."

"Catching up, overtaking each other, that's what we're going to do next!"

This is true, only after people have a clear goal will they have the motivation to catch up.

"Speaking of which,"

Rosie put down her knife and fork, picked up her beer and took a sip!

"I've found it useful to develop the Fruit of Silence."

That's auxiliary cultivation!

An important part of seeing and hearing domineering cultivation is to abandon 'distracting thoughts' and concentrate on the spirit.

Wanting to fully immerse the mind is a very metaphysical thing.

The cultivation of ordinary masters is domineering, and it takes a lot of time to polish. Or in a life-or-death situation, when a companion is in danger, a high concentration of the mind is automatically turned on.

"But my Fruit of Silence is able to shield out 'distracting thoughts,'"

"Although the effect on you will be discounted to a certain extent, it is still a lot of help for practicing the domineering of seeing and hearing."

In martial arts novels, it is a second of 'entering the table'.

？！

"Great, hey, hey~~"

Torrebol was overjoyed, and as Pika and Virgo began to develop, the biggest man in his grade was about to be at the bottom of the family.

Although he was giggling on his face, he was actually in the same anxiety in his heart.

If you master the 'domineering power', wouldn't your strength be greatly improved in an instant?

In particular, the huge weakness of his fruit ability to fear fire can be compensated for to a certain extent. - As long as you cut off the slime before the other party tries to set it on fire, you won't be embarrassed by being killed by a lighter.

"Let me remind you first, cultivation may not be smooth sailing."

Even Rosie herself, it was at the moment of life and death that she combined the ability of the fruit to comprehend the domineering nature of seeing and hearing.

If other people don't work hard themselves, it is unrealistic to expect that as soon as Rossi's fruit ability is opened, all the staff will see and hear it instantly.

But when it comes to hard work, Dover is definitely not lacking, and the taciturn Pika and the serious Virgo don't have to worry either, that's all left:

"Hey, hey, what's that look in your eyes?"

"Uncle Ben is a genius, I will be the first to learn when I see and hear the domineering!"

Facing the angry tall and thin duo, Rosie nodded.

"Well, I trust you."

"You should look at us and say that, right?"

"Hey, don't turn your face away—"

It's not that Rossi deliberately stimulated the two of them, but because the starting point of the 'Don Quixote family' was too low, and they used to have no famous teachers and no resources.

After winning the Jiedi family and starting to develop, everyone's strength is strangely inversely proportional to age, if Torrebol and Diamanti don't work hard, they can't say that their strength will still be at the bottom.

"Speaking of domineering, Rosie."

The food in front of him was cut into several pieces out of thin air, and Dover, who was even eating to exercise his fruit ability, looked at the brother next to him.

"Virgo seems to have awakened to the 'armed color domineering'."

？？？

"Isn't it?!"

The armed color domineering is not based on the talent of seeing and hearing, nor is it the overlord color of eating blood, but the power generated by the combination of real flesh and will.

Although Virgo will definitely master the armed color in the future, he is dressed in 'black and hard' and beats Smoker all over the ground. But now Virgo is only 11 years old, and it is too terrifying to master the armed color domineering, right?

“·· No, I didn't grasp it. ”

While the group was eating and discussing, Virgo, with his arms wrapped in two large lumps, walked out, followed by Jorah, who was dressed in a tuxedo.

Virgo's injuries are the most severe, so treatment takes the longest.

Thanks to Jorah's 'artistic fruits', which can give material properties and turn ordinary medical alcohol into 'life water' with miraculous healing powers, Virgo, whose arms are charred to char, would have had to be amputated.

"If it weren't for the first mate's mention, maybe I would have simply thought I was dizzy..."

Virgo recalls the previous scene,

"It's not so much armed and domineering, it's more like a 'miracle' achieved by perseverance."

Shouldn't this kind of thing using 'perseverance' to resist damage be the standard configuration of the protagonist group?

In fact, this is already a sign of the awakening of the armed color domineering.

After listening to Virgo's account, Rossi guessed that he must have unconsciously burst out in a brief armed color:

Many pirates, navies, and even ordinary people, in extreme circumstances, may suddenly burst out with a force far beyond their normal state, or carry huge damage.

This should be the germ of 'armed color domineering', then-

"Virgo, remember the feeling at that time, if you can maintain that state, then your strength will really soar instantly!"

This is armed and domineering, which is equivalent to wearing a layer of invisible steel armor, needless to say about the improvement of strength.

And it can also hurt the natural system, and carry a thousand strange Devil Fruit abilities, which is a ticket to the new world!

"Hmm,"

Nodding, Virgo sat down and was about to reach for his food, but was stopped by Jorah behind him.

"Your arm is saved, but it's best not to move."

The noblewoman's Jorah expertly cut the bread, and then forked it up and handed it to Virgo's mouth, so that the tough guy boy who couldn't move the flames was slightly stunned.

“··· Thanks,"

"I should be the one who should say thank you,"

"Without you, I and this city would be doomed."

After feeding Virgo and eating the bread, the mature lady Jorah bowed to Rossi and the others seriously.

"Thank you very much!"

Why are you so serious?

"Ferverford, verbal thanks are forgiven,"

"As for the reward for this battle, or the preferential trade in the future, please ask the queen to help us settle it."

What is a woman to Dover now? It will only affect the speed at which he develops the fruit!

"No problem,"

After a mouthful of promise, a hint of hesitation flashed across Jorah's face.

"However, the city has just suffered great damage, and the cost of rebuilding, the compensation for the casualties, and the remuneration of other merchants will add up to an astronomical amount. So..."

？！

"Hey, hey, you're not trying to pay the bills, are you?"

Torrebol angrily stood up and asked, while Diamanti had already grabbed the Western sword next to him, his vigilant gaze wandering around quickly. It seems that the plot of 'smashing the cup as the number and jumping out of the three-cup knife and axe' will be staged in the next second.

"Wait, don't get me wrong."

Facing the Don Quixote family, who were on the verge of a great enemy, Jorah waved her hand in a panic.

"It's not that I want to pay the bills, but the city can't afford to pay them enough, so—"

"Please let me join the 'Don Quixote family' and pay off my debts in the form of a job."

？？？
