Chapter 406: Foundation? This is actually the foundation?! (2-in-1)
"Devil Fruits?!"
The two children, Ace and Sabo, were surprised when they looked at what Ji Guoyuan had in his hand. Ace was born in Dressrosa, although he is young, but he also knows a lot of so-called "secrets" under his ears and eyes.
And Sabo was originally from an aristocratic background and received an elite education from an early age.
The Devil Fruit is a secret treasure on the sea, the two of them have naturally heard of it. But in reality, the two of them saw it for the first time, and while they were surprised that Ji Guoyuan would come up with this kind of thing, they also had a strong curiosity about the two devil fruits in Ji Guoyuan's hand.
"Hmm."
"Devil Fruit."
"This one is a natural burnt fruit, and after eating it, the body can turn into flames, and ordinary swords and fists are completely ineffective against those who are able."
"At the same time, those who are capable can also have the power to release high-temperature flames."
Ji Guoyuanyi held the crimson burnt fruit with flame-like cloud patterns in his left hand, introduced it to the two children, and after a pause, Ji Guoyuanyi gently tossed the golden fruit with lightning cloud patterns in his right hand, and continued:
"And this one is the thunder fruit of the natural system."
"When you eat it, your body will turn into thunder and lightning, and you will be immune to sword attacks and fists and kicks, and you will also be able to release lightning."
"These two Devil Fruits are the top natural abilities."
"Now the three major admirals of the Navy are all powerful natural Devil Fruit abilities."
"And the potential of these two Devil Fruits will not be lost to those abilities."
Whether it is a thunder fruit or a burning fruit, it is the top ability in the natural system. Needless to say, the strength of the Thunder Fruit is naturally needless to say, not to mention the extremely strong attack power, and the speed is also extremely terrifying, Anilu has done a good job in the development of the Thunder Fruit, but he has not developed the ability of this Devil Fruit to the extreme.
A "Wild Lonely Zen" like Anilu, the physical ability is too weak, and the Thunder Fruit still has a lot of potential to be tapped.
The same is true for the Burning Fruit, although Ace was cultivated by Karp since he was a child, but after Ace sneaked out to sea and ate the Burning Fruit by chance, there was a huge problem with his fighting style.
Ace is a little too dependent on the abilities of the natural Devil Fruit, and because of this, he will be a little powerless when facing Blackbeard with the Dark Fruit.
Whitebeard really dotes on his sons, and thinks that Ace can successfully control the Whitebeard Pirates under his protection, and find OP to become the king of the pirates.
And Whitebeard's doting also led to the awakening of Ace, who was domineering since he was a child, and did not grow up correctly.
Ace was negligent in the exercise of domineering, and at the same time, in the development of fruit ability, Ace was not able to achieve the extreme.
The ability to burn the fruit is more than just extreme attack power. The "propulsion" that the flame can bring to the capable is far from being comparable to the ordinary natural system. I'm afraid that except for the Shining Fruit and the Thunder Fruit, the other natural systems have no way to compare the speed with the Burning Fruit.
After all, the ultimate speed of solid-fuel rockets created by modern technology can reach Mach 20 or more.
How could a person with a natural Devil Fruit ability who is out of the realm of physics be inferior to the product of modern technology.
If Ace can develop the characteristics of the burning fruit, Akainu will not even be able to touch Ace, let alone kill Ace.
The two Devil Fruits, both representing absolute power.
In Ji Guoyuan's view, these two Devil Fruits represent two generals!
It was also well thought out that Ji Guoyuan would give such a thing to a child like Ace and Sabo. The new navy's high-end combat forces are now relatively similar in age.
If Jiguo Yuanyi's generation can completely uproot the Tianlong people, it will naturally be better.
But the Celestial Dragons have ruled this sea for eight hundred years, and even if they are of the same level as Ji Guoyuanyi, they dare not say that they can solve all these problems.
Finding a future leader for the new navy is also a follow-up preparation made by Ji Guoyuanyi.
Among the younger generation, Ace and Sabo are the most suitable for Ji Guoyuanyi in terms of talent and contact difficulty.
The two of them are not very old, they are kind in nature, they just need to be guided well, and they will definitely be able to stand on the side of ordinary people in the future and fight against the power of the Tianlong people.
"Burn the fruit."
Ace looked at the burning fruit in Ji Guoyuan's hand, muttered, and his body involuntarily walked in front of Ji Guoyuan's body, and actually reached out and grabbed the devil fruit in Ji Guoyuan's hand.
"Hey, Ace?"
Seeing Ace's movements, Sabo shouted in surprise.
Sabo and Ace have been inseparable for many years, although Ace is a big grinning person, but Ace is a very cultured person, and Ace's behavior at this time is really a little impolite.
"Huh?!" Hearing Sabo's shout, Ace's eyes regained clarity, and he looked blankly at his little hand that was already on the burning fruit, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly put his hand on his back, bowed deeply to Ji Guoyuan, and said apologetically:
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Jikokuenichi."
"I, I."
Ace was a little embarrassed. When Ji Guoyuan saw Ace's appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and chuckled:
"There's nothing to be sorry about."
"This was meant to be given to you."
"Let you become capable people when you become adults, and I also hope that you can not neglect physical exercise."
"Devil Fruit abilities are not invincible, after becoming capable people, they will become landlubbers and have no way to swim, and at the same time, Hailou Stone will also have an impact on those who are capable people."
"After coming into contact with the seawater and the sea building stone, there is no way to use the abilities of the capable."
"Because of this, physical skills are also very important for those who are able."
"Only in this way can we maximize the power of the Devil Fruit."
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuan looked at Ace with a deep gaze and continued: "I see that you like to burn the fruit very much, and this devil fruit will be assigned to you." ”
"Sabo, this thunder fruit is yours."
Hearing Ji Guoyuan's words, Ace turned his head to look at Sabo. In his heart, he wanted to burn the fruit, but his upbringing also told him that he also needed to consult Sabo.
He wanted to have some disagreement with his brother about this kind of thing.
But how could Saab have any opinion on the "distribution" of Jiguoyi? The preciousness of the natural Devil Fruit is well known even to a child like him.
This kind of thing also has a price in the auction house, if you insist on the value, the total value of these two Devil Fruits is at least three billion Bailey.
With this money, there is nowhere to buy it.
Taking such valuable things from other people, Sabo is not so cheeky.
"Mr. Jiguo Yuanyi, the Devil Fruit is too valuable, I can't ask for it!"
Sabo glanced at the thunder fruit with some reluctance, and then shook his head with a determined expression. After hearing Sabo's words, Ace was stunned at first, and then nodded thoughtfully, took a deep breath, and then answered:
"Ji Guoyuanyi, Mr. I'm the same."
"I can't ask for something so valuable!"
"Please take it back."
As he spoke, Ace bowed deeply to Ji Guoyuanyi to express his gratitude.
Seeing the appearance of these two children, Karp was stunned at first, and then said leisurely: "You two, but you have to think clearly, the two devil fruits that this kid took out are really good things." ”
"If it were put on the sea, I don't know how many people would break their heads and get this kind of thing."
"If you miss it, you really miss it!"
"Becoming a capable person can bring you one step closer to your dreams!"
Karp looked at the two children with a smile, and at the end, his tone became serious.
Hearing Karp's words, Ace and Sabo glanced at each other, both saw the firmness in each other's eyes, nodded to each other tacitly, and turned around and said in unison to Ji Guoyuan:
"I've made a decision!"
Looking at the clear eyes of the two children, Karp suddenly laughed out loud.
Three-year-olds look young, seven-year-olds look old.
The performance of Ace and Sabo really made Karp extremely happy. These two children are smart and smart, and their minds are actually not complicated, whether it is Karp or Ji Guoyuanyi, they can see through the minds of the two children at a glance.
They could see that these words were the true words of the two.
It is precisely because of this that the qualities of these two people seem to be somewhat valuable.
"You two boys seem to understand the truth of nothingness."
"Good, I didn't see the wrong person."
"What I gave away, I won't take it back."
"I don't want you two to repay me in the future, no matter what choices you two will make in the future, I just hope that you can grow up to be useful to the world in the future."
"These two Devil Fruits, I'll store them in the hands of Lieutenant General Karp."
"When the time is right, Lieutenant General Karp will hand it over to you!"
Ji Guoyuan said, put the two devil fruits in the cloth bag, and threw them at Karp, without the slightest nostalgia at all.
Karp subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, took a deep look at Ji Guoyuan, and grinned:
"You're really reassuring me!"
"I won't take over this kind of troublesome thing."
"When I get back, I'll hand it over to Zefa."
"You two listen, I didn't give you Devil Fruits, I didn't let you slack off!"
"When you two are fourteen years old, I'll send you back to the naval academy at the Navy Headquarters, and let that guy Zefa train you."
"Whether you can get Zefa's approval or not, when you can eat the Devil Fruit depends on the ability of you two boys!"
In front of Jiguo Yuanyi, Karp shouted.
Although Ace and Sabo don't know who Zefa is, but from the conversation between Ji Guo Yuan Yi and Karp, they can also "taste" some information, although Ji Guo Yuan Yi promised to give them the Devil Fruit, but can they get the Devil Fruit, and they still need to go through some "trials"?
However, Ace and Sabo have no complaints at all.
They each have the direction and goal of struggle in their hearts, and wanting to become strong and become a man in charge of their own affairs are the things they desire the most in their hearts.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiguoyuanichi, for your kindness!"
"We will not disappoint you."
After all, Sabo was raised by an elite child, and he was not tainted with some bad habits, and he even behaved more appropriately than the older Ace in dealing with people.
Seeing Sabo say this, Ace was also grateful again and again, and he was more or less excited, and he was also full of expectations for his future.
After sending out the two Devil Fruits, Ji Guoyuan did not leave the Goya Kingdom immediately.
He had a lot of expectations for Ace and Sabo, and took advantage of this opportunity to deliberately stay for a few days, on the one hand, to teach the two some basic combat skills, and on the other hand, to cultivate and cultivate feelings.
Children of Ace and Sabo's age are the time when they have the deepest emotional perception.
And Karp's training methods for these two children are still a little inappropriate.
It's true that a strong man grows in battle, but before that, you have to let people know how to improve their abilities.
The foundation is very important, and this is the biggest difference between Karp and Zefa in cultivating the younger generation.
The students who are suitable for Karp have to be the students who already have a solid foundation like Jiguo Yuanyi and Kuzan; In terms of "enlightenment", Zefa is obviously better at it.
Before Ji Guoyuanyi left, he also planned to consolidate the foundation of the two elementary schools first, and at the same time broaden the horizons of the two.
The sun is shining.
In a clearing in the mountains of Kolpo, the sound of weapons clashing against each other is endless.
In the clearing, Ji Guoyuan pinched a small branch and stood in the middle of the clearing, dealing with Ace's solo attack.
I saw Ace leap forward, assault from the front of Jiguo Yuanyi, and slash at Jiguo Yuanyi's head with a knife. In the face of Ace's attack, Ji Guoyuan raised his arm lightly, and the slender and long branch actually blocked the attack of the Supreme Quick Knife, making a crisp sound.
In the next second, Ji Guoyuan raised his arm lightly and blocked Ace's attack, and then the branch in his hand hit Ace's chest in mid-air.
The pain in his chest made Ace grin.
"Don't attack for the sake of attacking."
"Attacking needs to be purposeful, and the target of the attack is to be able to make your attack hit the opponent."
"But the enemy is not a stake standing there, the enemy will resist, will fight back."
"So when you attack, you have to think about what you are going to do next if the attack fails, someone blocks it, or if the enemy counterattacks."
"A desperate attack stance is unacceptable, and you have to leave yourself room to change your tactics."
"That's why I warn you not to jump easily, because in the air, you have no room to change your tactics."
As soon as Ji Guoyuan spoke, Ace had already grabbed the knife and fell back to the ground, gently rubbing his chest that was hit by the branch, Ace did not hesitate at all, and quickly kicked his feet and rushed towards Ji Guoyuanyi.
Following the branch in Guoyuan's hand, he continued:
"Fighting is not just about who is strong, who is fast will definitely be able to win."
"You have to learn to think, to think about how your opponent will react to your attack, and how you need to react when your opponent reacts like that."
"Absolute strength and absolute speed can make fighting easy, but what if you meet an opponent who is just as fast and just as strong?"
"Learning to think is the first step you have to do."
As he spoke, Ace had already rushed in front of Ji Guoyuan, and Ji Guoyuan seemed to have expected it, turned sideways slightly, and quickly dodged Ace's attack.
"I predicted it!" Seeing Ji Guoyuan's side dodging, Ace couldn't help but let out a low cry of excitement, his body suddenly stopped, a whirlwind, and at the same time, a flying kick kicked Ji Guoyuanyi's calf.
But before Ace changed his move, Ji Guoyuan gently raised his leg early in the morning, and Ace's kick attacked, which was basically attacking the air.
Ace looked stunned, and before he could react, the branch in Ji Guoyuan's hand slowly hit him on the shoulder.
"Learning to think, learning to predict, is just the beginning."
"Try to observe your opponent's body movements and anticipate more of their actions."
"Ace, you're only on the first layer, and I, not only have I predicted your reaction after the failed attack, but I've also found your flaws."
"I don't think enough about it, the more I use this kind of brain, the more I use it, the smarter it becomes!"
Ji Guoyuan said as he slowly continued to swing the branch to attack Ace, forcing Ace to make a counterattack.
While attacking, he pointed out: "Defense, blocking the opponent's attack is only the first step, the point of defense is to allow yourself to block the opponent's attack at the same time, but also to maintain the maximum degree of freedom to change moves, only in this way, can you react when the opponent has a strange move." ”
"Not only that, but you also need to watch the opponent's flaws and look for opportunities to counterattack."
When Guo Yuanyi spoke, the attacks of the branches in his hands continued, and Ace could only barely defend, and his arms and body would also be hit by the branches for a long time.
However, Ace's expression was calm, and he tried hard to observe the actions of Jiguo Yuanyi, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and he listened to Yuanyi's words.
Next to the open space, Karp looked at Ji Guoyuan and Ace, who were practicing in the field with both hands, and kept sending jerky into his mouth, with a smile on his face.
And Sabo, who was beside him, was also engrossed, observing the changes in Ji Guoyuanyi's tricks.
"The foundation of the battle, this is actually just the foundation?!"
After Ace, it's going to be his turn, and Sabo is also secretly preparing, but the more he learns, the more Sabo's heart sinks, and his face has become ugly at this moment, Sabo has been able to read some of the strength of the country's edge, and the more he understands, the more he can see the gap.
"Don't be impatient, isn't it natural that there is a gap between you and Jiguoyuan?"
"You can feel the pressure from him, you can feel the strength of him, it means that you are a little bit of a beginner."
"Calm down, watch carefully, study hard, practice hard."
"This foundation is not something that can be mastered overnight."
Karp's voice came from Sabo's side, and hearing Karp say this, Sabo couldn't help but take a deep breath and nodded heavily.
