People are pirates, the sum of the strength of the kingdom at the beginning!

After fishing, Dick lit the fire and ate grilled fish.

Afterwards, Dick began to practice kendo again, holding a lavender nameless weapon made of special metal in his hand.

Dick spent a lot of money to ask a blacksmith hidden in the East China Sea to make it for him. Its hardness and sharpness are comparable to famous knives.

Now this master forging has also been hired by Dick to the Xuanwu Kingdom with a high salary, and has become a weapon-making consultant for the Xuanwu Kingdom.

At the same time, Dick also gained the skill of forging.

Dick named the better knife "Purple Flame."

In Dick's hands, it can exert 200% of its power.

In the near future, this knife named "Zi Yan" will also become famous in the sea.

"Chop~!" I saw Dick holding the "Purple Flame" and slashing towards a falling leaf.

The afterimage of purple flashed, and the blade of "Zi Yan" hit the leaf in an instant.

However, a shocking thing happened, the leaf was left intact after being cut.

Even an ordinary person in One Piece World can chop it in half in an instant.

This is done on purpose by Dick, this is the highest state of swordsmanship, called "No Cutting~!"

Of course, Dick hadn't reached such a state yet, and the fact that the leaves were not cut off was due to Dick's strong control.

The kendo of One Piece World is divided into four realms.

A swordsman can be called a "swordsman" as long as he picks up a sword and knows some sword moves.

Swordsman, this is the second stage of swordsmanship. I thought that in order to break through from swordsman to swordsman, one needs to comprehend the profound meaning of swordsmanship "cutting iron".

Swordsman, the third stage of kendo, this realm is not only pursuing cutting iron, this realm is pursuing "cutting everything".

Great swordsman, this is the limit of a swordsman, infinitely close to the critical period of the fourth realm of "no cutting" in the legend.

The so-called "not beheaded"!It is an idea that moves with the heart.

It is a realm that seems to be tangible but intangible.

"Having" is an obstacle and a kind of bondage, while "nothing" is a kind of expanse and a kind of liberation.

Only by surpassing "being" and entering "nothing" can one reach the highest state of kendo.

Non-mind and non-thought, things and me are forgotten, the sword and the meaning are in harmony, and the illegal is also the law! ! !

Only when this state of "harmony between man and nature" is reached, is it truly omnipotent and invincible.

To reach that level, you can't just rely on "practice", you must also devote yourself to "enlightenment".

· Not only a spiritual epiphany, but also a physical realization.

Combining the two, you can achieve the fourth stage of kendo, the realm of no cutting!

The current Dick has barely stepped into the threshold of swordsman, but for Dick.

Relying on the three talents of [Ingenuity] (hand speed +100%, mental power +100%), [Super Swiftness] (speed +200%) and [Super Beast Intuition] (combat awareness +250%).

Dick's overall strength in kendo far exceeds that of ordinary swordsmen, not to mention Dick's astonishing defensive power, physical strength, and pure strength.

This made Dick even if he could step into the threshold of a swordsman, he still has the strength comparable to a great swordsman.

Of course, this only refers to Dick's comprehensive kendo strength, and other skills such as boxing are not included in the calculation of kendo strength.

Dick waved the purple blade in his hand, and afterimages pierced the air, making loud bangs.

Under the effects of Dick's [Sword Dao Idiot] (the effect of practicing the Sword Dao +50%) and [Heavenly Rewards] (skill training speed +1000%).

Dick's sword practice is growing rapidly, if it can be described by statistics.

"Sword cultivation is +1, +1, +1..."

Dick's kendo practice constantly increased by 1, like riding a rocket.

If it weren't for Dick's hard work and hard work, those swordsman apprentices in Yixin Gymnasium would not be able to break through the realm of swordsman.

With the support of a strong body, coupled with Dick's strong mental strength, he can even practice day and night without sleep.

In fact, Dick did. Sleeping was a waste of time in Dick's view.

After months of sleepless nights, Dick is still full of energy.

This is the infinite possibility brought to Dick by pure physical strength reaching the pinnacle of a lieutenant general in the Navy headquarters, comparable to the strength of a reserve general.

A strong body and strong spiritual power are the real foundation of being strong.

At this moment, Dick's strength is on the verge of a breakthrough under the increase of his more than 5000 leaders.

Of course, the strongest effect of these leaders on Dick's increase is "Xuanwu", under Dick's continuous feeding.

Xuanwu's body size is nearly [-] meters, and it is about to reach maturity from the growth stage.

Since it is not a combat type, even though it has the power comparable to that of the Vice Admiral of the Navy.

But in a real battle, some elite lieutenant generals of the Navy headquarters can defeat it.

Even so, if you want to really hurt its life.

Faced with Xuanwu's powerful defense, some lieutenant generals might be powerless and unable to attack.

Therefore, it can be said that "Xuanwu" is the foundation of Dick's life.

And the second group that gave Dick an increase was the external staff of Xuanwu Kingdom, the Eight Treasures Navy.

As for other citizens of Xuanwu Kingdom in the true sense, those orphans and some insiders of Xuanwu Kingdom brought Dick a negligible increase.

In terms of physique, they can only provide Dick with limited boosts; in terms of talent and skills, they can't give Dick too much power.

But Dick is more optimistic about their future. When they grow up, Dick's strength will reach a terrifying level.

Of course, under the situation of increasing, Dick is also striving to improve his own strength.

With the joint efforts of Dick himself and the leaders of the Xuanwu Kingdom, Dick's pure physical strength will soon reach the general level.

Of course, Dick's strength has also reached a bottleneck at this moment, which is why Dick came to O'Hara.

This is an opportunity for Dick to break through in strength, otherwise Dick wouldn't rush to Xihai just for a Devil Fruit Illustration.

If he only wanted the devil fruit illustrated book, it would be better to send someone to O'Hara to get it.

In this way, Dick practiced kendo during the day.

In the middle of the night, sneak into the tree of omniscience and read books to learn more about the world.

Of course, Dick didn't meet little Robin every time, after all, there is a lot of space in the tree of omniscience.

Otherwise, I can't put down so many books.

Even if Dick met the little Robin who was reading again, they would all be reading their own books without interfering with each other.

Just like that, a month has passed.

In between, Dick discovers the basement of the Tree of Omniscience, where he finds scholars who are studying that 100-year blank history.

At the same time, he also got acquainted with the famous scholar here, who is also the curator of the library of the Tree of Omniscience, Dr. Kuloba! (Note: The manga is called "Dr. Koloba", but the subtitle of the anime is "Dr. Koloba")

Of course when Dick found out about their activities, the reaction of these scholars was one of horror.

But when Dick showed that he had no malice, their attitude towards Dick gradually softened.

After a month of getting along, all the scholars are familiar with Dick except that they have not seen Dick's true face.

The reason why Dick was able to get along with scholars so quickly was not only because Dick liked to read books.

Or because Dick has a unique insight into that blank 100-year history.

These scholars certainly do not know that Dick has ever looked at all history except the blank 100 years from God's perspective.

Even Future Dick knows a little bit.

As an orphan, Dick loves watching anime very much.

Because it allows him to temporarily forget loneliness.

A lonely soul also needs a place to live.
