Chapter 30 The Road Ahead!
Just as Gasper Lehmann was feeling smug about blocking two shells, he suddenly noticed a figure appear on the bow of the rapidly approaching Dog-Head warship.
That was a young boy.
The young man had a long sword with a black sheath tied around his waist, his clothes fluttered, and his long red hair danced freely in the wind.
As the warship approached rapidly, the red-haired boy slowly drew out the knife from his waist with an expressionless face, looked at the pirate ship in front of him, and raised the knife to prepare his strength.
"Um?!"
"What does that guy do? Is he also in the navy?"
When Gaspard Lehmann saw the figure on the warship, his eyes were full of confusion, but the next second, the confusion in his eyes turned into horror.
When the two ships were nearly twenty meters apart, the red-haired boy on the warship suddenly swung his knife towards the pirate ship. The next second, the sea water in front of the dog-headed warship suddenly split to the left and right without any warning. An invisible slash raised huge waves on the sea and flew rapidly towards the pirate ship.
"call out!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the fierce slash hit the pirate ship directly, making an inaudible sound.
The slash penetrated directly from the stern, flew out from the bow, and penetrated the entire hull from stern to bow.
"What happened?!" Caspar Lehmann could not see the slash, but only saw the wind and waves on the sea gradually dying down, and he felt puzzled.
But the next second, this pirate ship that could accommodate hundreds of people actually began to slowly split apart from the middle. In just a dozen seconds, it was split into two. A large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and the ship, which was split into two sections, began to slowly sink.
"WHAT!!!!"
Under Gaspard Lehman's horrified gaze, the dog-head warship did not slow down, and its ram directly hit the separated stern, passing through the disintegrated pirate ship at high speed without even stopping.
Gaspard Lehman's pirate ship was like garbage blocking the road and was kicked away. On the departing warship, no one stuck their heads out to look at them even for a second.
Just like that, the warship quickly disappeared from Gasper Lehmann's sight.
The huge whirlpool caused by the shipwreck swallowed up the desperate Casper Lehmann and his crew members. They had no way to resist the power of the sea.
On the sea, the pirates shouted in fear for a long time.
Dozens of minutes later, the sea breeze blew gently, and only scattered wooden boards were floating on the calm sea, telling the despair of the travelers who happened to pass by here.
"Oh wow~~"
"What a powerful slash! Such a large ship was pierced through with just one strike."
"Brother Jiguo is really amazing! If you are so strong and want to join the navy and become an officer, I will be the first to disagree."
"Yes! Yes! There's no way the major generals at our headquarters could do such a thing!"
On Garp's dog-headed warship, the navy on the deck surrounded Tsugakuni Yoriichi, surrounded him, and praised him loudly. Aokiji stood aside, looking at Tsugakuni Yoriichi surrounded by the crowd, feeling emotional.
Who could have imagined that in just over a month since Garp took Yoriichi away from the Marine Headquarters, Yoriichi Tsugikuni had already grown to this level.
If Aokiji remembered correctly, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, who had just set out to sea, couldn't even perform a flying slash.
More than a month later, the slashing blow launched by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was actually enough to cut a pirate ship like that.
On the way from the G-10 branch to Dressrosa, Garp actually encountered quite a few pirates. Every time they encountered them, Garp didn't even need to take action. Aokiji and Tsugakuni Yori could easily solve the problem.
At the beginning, if Aokiji encountered a pirate ship, he would use his ability to freeze the sea area around the pirate ship, making it impossible for the pirate ship to move.
After a round of bombardment, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and the navy will get off the ship and use the ice surface created by Aokiji to go to the enemy ship for close combat.
But after only a week of this, Garp's fighting style changed.
Aokiji, who was originally going to freeze the sea surface, no longer took action. When he encountered a pirate ship again, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni would use the Moon Step to take off into the air, quickly approach the pirate ship and then engage in close combat.
This kind of battle went on for another week, and Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's fighting style changed again. This time, after encountering a pirate ship, Yoshiichi would let the warship approach first, and when it was within ten meters of the opponent, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi would launch a flying slash.
The terrifying slash can directly make the pirate ship unable to move.
During this period, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's flying slash became more and more terrifying. A few days ago, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi could easily cut through a large pirate ship that was hundreds of meters long.
At this point, the speed of the Garp warship began to increase.
When encountering the pirate ship again, Garp didn't need to stop the warship to fire, nor did he need to approach the boarding to fight. He only needed to speed up and rush towards the pirate ship. When approaching the enemy ship, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi would naturally open a path for the warship.
Aokiji watched Tsugakuni Yoriichi grow stronger rapidly on the boat. During this period, Tsugakuni Yoriichi's armament Haki could not only attach to the sword, but also to his entire right arm.
It is precisely because of the improvement of Yuichiro Tsugakuni's armament Haki that Yuichiro Tsugakuni's slashing attack has become extremely terrifying.
As mentioned before, when Armament Haki is attached to the body, it can enhance strength and defense, and can also touch the body of a natural devil fruit user.
At first, Yoriichi's Armament Haki was only enough to attach to weapons, making them harder and sharper, while also being able to attack Aokiji.
Now, Yunyi's Armament Haki can be attached to his arms and sword at the same time, increasing his muscle strength and the power of his sword at the same time. After the two are superimposed, it is possible to make Tsugikoku Yunyi's slash grow to the current level.
At this point, Yoriichi Tsugakuni has truly mastered the art of Armament Haki.
But it will not be so easy for Yuanyi to improve his strength again and again in the future.
Even if Yoriichirō could cultivate his Armament Haki to cover his entire body, the increase in his slashing power would be limited.
If Yoriichi still wants to pursue qualitative change, he needs to find ways to enhance the amplification ability of Armament Haki. It is meaningless to just increase the coverage of Haki.
Even if one could cover the entire body with domineering aura, the upper limit would be like Vergo, whose body was cut into pieces by Law's ability.
But truly powerful Haki can ignore the effects of Devil Fruits.
Vergo's fate has always been a warning to Yunyi that domineering power with only coverage area but no quality is meaningless.
However, it is not easy to enhance the amplification ability of the color domineering.
In fact, Garp has a way to train Yoriichi to enhance his ability in this area, but he saw that Yoriichi's Armament Haki still had room for improvement in terms of coverage, so he was not in a hurry to start the second stage of training for Yoriichi. He simply let Yoriichi strengthen his physique and increase the coverage of Haki.
As for the content of the second stage of cultivation, it's simple: moving eight mountains with your fists. That's all.
This is how Cap practiced in the early years in order to shoot Green Pepper in the head.
But there's no rush.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's growth rate has far exceeded Garp's expectations. In the practice of domineering, he still has to take one step at a time. Only in this way can he become a top powerhouse.
There is still time to wait until Yunyi’s domineering aura can no longer cover a wider area before moving on to the next stage of training!
Garp watched his subordinates praising Tsugikoku Yoriichi from the sidelines, picked his nose as he walked over and shouted at everyone:
"Don't you have anything to do? Why are you sitting here complaining?"
"That's all there is to it. It's still far from enough!"
After dispersing the subordinates surrounding Yunyi, Garp said to Yunyi earnestly:
"Yuichirō, don't be blinded by the flattery of these idiots."
"The word 'strong' is still far away from you!"
"Your foundation is very good. You have just been exposed to the Six Styles and Haki, so it is normal for your strength to increase dramatically."
"But you have to understand that this is far from the end, so don't get complacent."
"You still have a long way to go, and the road ahead will be even more rugged and difficult. Even you may not be able to grow to the top!"
"This time when you go to Dressrosa, you might have the chance to see what it means to be a strong person!"
Yunyi listened to what Garp said and nodded silently. He still had some self-awareness.
In this world, the entanglement of domineering color is the ultimate ability of the strong.
He thought he had reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. If he wanted to reach a higher level, he must possess the domineering power that was above everything else. This was the new goal that Yunyi was pursuing.
He knew very well that he had only walked a short distance on the road of dominance.
Turning around, Yuanyi walked to the railing, held the railing with both hands and looked out at the sea.
The sea breeze blew, and the bright red hair fluttered in the air. Yuanyi looked at the sea with deep expectation in his eyes.
"I really want to see it soon!"
"The future Pirate King—Roger!"
