One Piece: Free Ronin

At night, Flo returned to the center of the island with a bruised nose and a swollen face. There were many bruises all over his body, and he looked extremely miserable. The food I brought back was just some wild fruits...

He awkwardly walked to Rocks who was sitting by the fire, seemingly closing his eyes to meditate, and said angrily: "Old man, you never said that those animals can be domineering, and they seem to be quite intelligent. They are inherently naughty. He’s so rough and thick, and he actually uses his armor to defend himself, I feel like he’s almost turning into a monster.”

Opening his eyes and looking at Flo, who was covered in bruises, Rocks gloated: "I said it, even if you are very resistant to beatings, you will still die if you are not careful on this island, right? Mou Hahaha , many of the animals in it are indeed very smart, and they have been beaten by me every day for so many years. Many of the more powerful beasts have realized the domineering power of armed color, and some have even become very proficient. Moreover, they are born with keen senses and can detect dangerous things. The intuition is extremely terrifying. In my opinion, it is no less domineering than the average level of knowledge. Mou hahaha."

"Can you arm and see the domineering beast?"

Flo couldn't help but have a toothache when thinking of the huge wild boar he encountered when he first entered the forest.

"No wonder hitting it with a fist is like hitting an iron block..." Touching the still slightly red and swollen fist, Flo suddenly thought.

"So they have all been trained by you? Is this all you have done on the island for so many years? Why are they so boring, bastard!" Flo said sadly and angrily.

"Mou hahaha, I'm the only one on this island. Every day when I have nothing to do, I can only beat up those big guys. Speaking of which, almost all the larger animals have been ravaged by me. If I can't hold on, I have already left Most of the fists that were strong went into my stomach, Mou hahaha, and those who held on have basically realized the domineering spirit..."

Rocks laughed unscrupulously.

"So for ordinary people, this island is definitely extremely dangerous. Except for the center of the island occupied by me, where no wild beasts dare to approach, almost all other places are occupied by big guys with pretty good strength. Those guys can also happen to be As your training target for the next stage. Mou hahaha, it’s really interesting. My unintentional move has come in handy now. So, be careful not to die, kid.”

Flo was speechless for a moment

Although Rocks' hell training in the past few years has given him a monster-like body.

Facing Rocks' beatings every day, the upper limit of his body's ability to withstand damage was getting higher and higher.

But at least Locks can control his strength very well and will not cause too much damage to his body, but those beasts in the jungle will not show any mercy...

Even the thick nerves that had been trained under Rocks' fists over the years could not help but tremble slightly.

"This is really life-threatening...Is Rocks trying to use this method to let me experience a real life-and-death fight?" Flo thought to himself as he ate big mouthfuls of food to replenish his energy.

"Also, kid, starting from tomorrow, you are not allowed to step within 100m of this open space during the day unless it is a life or death situation. I guess you also know that it is a safe zone, and I will always be aware of this area. Being If I find you lazy in this area...hehe"

As he spoke, Rocks clenched his fists, and suddenly there was a crackling sound of friction between the joints.

Flo reflexively moved away from Rocks...

"I know, I won't be lazy."

Thinking of the ferocious wild boar and the long-term ravages of Rocks, he responded decisively.

After filling his stomach in silence, Flo suddenly looked up at Rocks and asked.

"Speaking of which, old man Rocks, can you teach me how to use domineering power?"

"How to use it? As for the Armed Color, it's a little early for you to talk about using it at this level. You should polish your body honestly and accumulate stamina. As for the Knowledge Color, I think you have almost touched the threshold. All that is left to do is to repeat it. The use of it has been strengthened. As for the Overlord's domineering energy... Since you were able to withstand my aura four years ago, I guess you should have it, but you just haven't been able to activate it yet. Moreover, training alone is not enough for domineering energy. Ah, you must go through the test of blood and fire, defeat the enemy and yourself again and again, and then it will become stronger as your courage grows. In the final analysis, domineering is the embodiment of will, the combination of body and mind. , in fact, everyone has it... Of course, talent is also very important, such as seeing, hearing, and color, which is really a magical power. Mou hahaha."

Locks rarely explained to Flo. Although it was still very brief, it was enough for Flo.

"So, little brat, you can't let down the desperate energy you had before. Mou hahaha, I won't allow such a thing."

"The embodiment of will, the union of body and mind?" Flo murmured in a low voice. He didn't pay any attention to what was said after that.

Seeing Flo in deep thought, he thought to himself: "Mou hahaha, you are indeed a smart kid."

In fact, after getting along day and night over the past few years, Locks can be said to have a very thorough understanding of Flo. In his opinion, Flo is the best choice in terms of both qualifications and character, and he also has an extreme desire for power. ..The only flaw seems to be that he has no ambition, or in other words, his only ambition is the desire for power, and this desire may be just an instinctive reaction to realizing the cruelty of the world.

At such a young age, he has endured an almost barbaric living condition for such a long time, but he has not heard any complaints in this regard. He would only complain about pain and tiredness when resting, but then he would still get up and immerse himself in exercise. .

Do you just want to become stronger? Maybe there is still a desire to sail freely on this sea? It seems that at such a young age, one has already seen things very deeply... Mou hahaha.

Locks glanced at Flo, thinking.

Feeling the thin layer of domineering wrapped around his arms, Flo giggled foolishly and thought to himself: "It's really fantastic. Such idealistic power..., will, dreams? I think about this kind of thing too. Yes, right? Being able to roam freely and unrestrainedly in this world should count, right?"

Seeing Flo's expression, Rocks smiled.

"Boy, it's amazing that you can achieve this level at your age, but compared with those real monsters in the sea, you still have a long way to go...Mou hahaha"

"I still have the reputation of being self-aware..." Flo responded nonchalantly.

Rocks smiled and said nothing.

After chatting casually for a few words, Rocks got up and went back to his cabin to rest.

Flo continued to sit by the fire, thinking about cultivation.

Having said that, after such a long period of training and living on a desert island, as well as getting along with Rocks, as well as the influence of the broken soul of the original owner of the body, the various shackles and fetters placed on him in his previous life may now only have some faint traces left.

As time went by, his heart that was originally bound but desperately longed for freedom and unrestrainedness revived... and he gradually realized that in such a world, what he could do Maybe more...

Perhaps it was precisely because of this belief that he had endured Rocks' training in the past few years, and gradually became obsessed with this boring and painful but extremely fulfilling feeling.

After thinking about it for a long time, he realized that it was getting late, so he got up, washed his sweat-smelling body casually by the lake, and then returned to the cabin that Rocks had built for him to rest.
