One Piece: The Way of the Swordsman

There is no such thing as justice and evil!

The truth that only weakness is a sin!

In an explosion during an electromagnetic experiment, Di Mu accidentally entered the world of pirates and became a student at the CP training base at the age of seven!

Don’t get me wrong, the protagonist is not a high-ranking scientific researcher, but a humanoid guinea pig lying on the test table. He is also a criminal who has been sentenced to death under the law!

Momonosuke must die! Momonosuke must die! Momonosuke must die! Important things must be said three times! ! ! !

One Piece: The Way of the Swordsman
Chapter 1 Code 110
Haiyuan calendar year 1508!
White walls, white curtains, and various medicines placed in glass cabinets. The black-haired boy lying on the hospital bed stared blankly at the room in front of him that seemed to be a medical room.
“I’m not dead, and I’ve come to the world of One Piece. Could it be because of the big explosion back then?!” Di Mu raised his obviously tender and young hand, touched his equally tender chin, and muttered to himself.
Di Mu, whose parents had both passed away, once poisoned 18 members of a wealthy family in one night. He was subsequently arrested by the police and sentenced to death.
However, perhaps for the purpose of “waste utilization”, after Di Mu was sentenced to death, he was not rewarded with a peanut by the soldiers. Instead, he was knocked unconscious and taken to a secret research base, where he became a glorious human guinea pig, making his last contribution to the country.
However, from the fact that Di Mu mysteriously traveled to the world of One Piece and occupied the body of a seven-year-old boy, it can be seen that the experiment in which he dedicated his body obviously went wrong.
Di Mu still remembered that not long after he was tied to the test bench, a red light and a shrill alarm sounded in the laboratory. Then, accompanied by a deafening roar, he who was tied to the test bench was innocently crushed into pieces by countless dazzling electric currents and distorted space.
Touching his chin, Di Mu unconsciously looked at his tender hands and thin body, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Perhaps it was fate. After being reborn in a similar way to taking over another body, Di Mu received all the previous memories of this body. He also discovered that this body was at least 80% similar to his former young self, even the names were very similar.
The previous incarnation of this body was named Tim, which sounds very similar to Di Mu’s name. Perhaps this is why he possessed this body after his death.
After Di Mu regained consciousness, he accepted all the memories of his predecessor. He also knew that his predecessor was the orphan of a former CP9 agent, and now as an orphan he was being trained as a CP agent.
From his memory, Di Mu knew that the place where he was now was called the ‘Beihai Branch CP Organization Training Base’, and he was now one of the two hundred CP students here.
Di Mu was naturally familiar with the CP organization. As a former half-otaku, he had also watched the national anime “One Piece” and knew that the CP organization was a secret intelligence agency affiliated with the World Government. In addition to the extremely mysterious CP0, it was divided into nine departments from CP1 to CP9.
Speaking of which, Di Mu’s predecessor was also very unfortunate. After being brought into the base, he went into shock on the third day because his body could not bear the devilish training in the base. Even after Di Mu took over this body, his soul had already dissipated.
Crunch!
Just as Di Mu was recalling his past, the wooden door outside the room suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a slim black suit and a grim face walked in. After seeing Di Mu sitting on the hospital bed with his upper body as if in a daze, he walked straight over.
“No. 110, I didn’t expect you to wake up so soon. It seems that you recover quickly. That’s good. You can continue your training from tomorrow!” The man in the suit said calmly, and then turned around and left the room without giving Di Mu a chance to speak.
Before becoming official members of the CP organization, all students were called by code names. Di Mu’s predecessor was No. 110, and the man in the suit was one of the instructors in this base.
“There are some troubles!” Seeing the wooden door closed again, Di Mu rubbed his temple, a look of distress on his face.
Sure enough, although I managed to survive the explosion, it seemed that another nightmare was waiting for me.
Although I had never heard that there was a CP organization’s training base in Beihai when I was watching the anime One Piece, this is no longer important to Di Mu now. After all, the fantasy world has become real, so what is there to be surprised about?
What Di Mu is worried about now is the training that will start tomorrow.
As a CP organization that carries out dark justice, its character and strength will definitely not be bad, which means that its training is absolutely terrifying.
Di Mu’s predecessor went into shock or even died within three days because of CP’s devilish training. Di Mu also knew in his memory how cruel and terrible the training during those three days was.
But Di Mu has no right to refuse now. Not to mention that he cannot reveal the fact that he occupied his previous incarnation, and he knows very well how dangerous the Pirate King is, so he must make himself stronger.
“CP9’s Rob Lucci once said, ‘Weakness is a sin.’ This sentence really reveals the essence of the world!” Di Mu sighed softly, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his face gradually became expressionless.
He has already realized the true nature of the world and can no longer go back. Being weak is a sin, so he just needs to make himself stronger so that he will no longer feel the pain of despair.
Just when Di Mu’s consciousness was fluctuating violently because of the indelible pain and hatred in his heart, suddenly, a tingling sensation came from between his eyebrows and rushed to his heart.
Bang bang bang～～～!
Di Mu suddenly groaned, bent his body slightly, and instinctively covered his violently beating heart. The strong heartbeat seemed to penetrate his body, bursting out incredible vitality and strength.
The strong beating of the heart did not cause any pain. Instead, it was as if a stream of clear water flowed from the heart into Di Mu’s limbs and bones, lifting his spirits.
Crackling~!
A strange and magical scene appeared. Tiny arcs of electricity actually flashed on the surface of Di Mu’s skin and kept passing through his skin, as if they were dancing like elves.
Di Mu felt the changes in his body and quickly looked up at his arm. He was immediately stunned by the flashing arc of electricity. He subconsciously jumped off the bed and slapped his whole body with his bare feet, as if trying to brush away the flashing arc of electricity.
“No, I don’t feel any pain!” After continuous slapping, Di Mu realized that the electric arc was still flashing on his skin, and his face was full of disbelief.
How could an electric arc appear in a human body? He was lying on the hospital bed and should not have been touched by any electric current, but what was going on with everything before his eyes?
Di Mu stared at the arcs flashing on his arms and body, and then confirmed that these arcs did not cause him any harm, as if they were just illusions.
However, when Di Mu looked at the hospital bed, and discovered that the sheets and quilts he had just been lying on had faint burn marks as if he had been electrocuted, he realized that the electric arc flashing on his body was not an illusion.
“Could it be the ability of a devil fruit?!” Di Mu couldn’t help but have wild thoughts in his mind, but he quickly denied it.
He knew the memories of his previous life and had never eaten any strange fruits, which meant that the arcs of electricity flashing on his body did not come from the power of the devil fruit.
Di Mu took a deep breath and tried his best to stay calm. Then he thought about all the possibilities and tried to make the electric arc disappear from his body.
If nothing unexpected happens, the room he is in now will be the infirmary in the CP base. Someone may come in at any time. If they see Di Mu with electric arcs flashing all over his body, it will definitely cause a commotion.
Having just arrived in this world, Di Mu was not prepared to attract too much attention. After ruling out the possibility that the electric arcs on his body were the ability of the devil fruit, he didn’t want anyone to know about his abnormality.
Di Mu’s consciousness was working rapidly. First of all, he was definitely not a member of the Fur Tribe, so he would not generate any electricity. And in his memory, this situation had never occurred in his predecessor, so it could only have occurred after his arrival.
Suddenly, Di Mu thought of the last scene he saw after the big explosion, which was the scene where he was torn to pieces by countless electric currents and distorted void.
“Electric current?! Could it be caused by the big explosion?” Di Mu was shocked and couldn’t help but think of it.
Thinking this in his mind, Di Mu unconsciously looked again at the electric arcs that were still flashing wildly on his arms and body, subconsciously hoping that they would disappear quickly.
Swish!
It was as if they had never appeared. As Di Mu just thought of this, the arcs of electricity flashing on his arms and body suddenly disappeared without leaving any trace.
Di Mu was stunned. It actually disappeared. Could it be that the electric arc just now could really disappear and appear at will?
“Let’s try it out!” Di Mu said secretly in his heart, and then his consciousness moved, thinking about making the electric arc appear.
But in a moment, the electric arc that had just disappeared reappeared with Di Mu’s consciousness.
“It can actually be controlled!” Di Mu was overjoyed, and his heartbeat quickened again. He vaguely felt that this magical arc or electric current might be the golden finger of him as a time traveler.
After discovering that he could control electric current, Di Mu suddenly felt very excited. He was just an ordinary person before. Although he had decided to become stronger in the world of One Piece, it would not be so easy to actually implement it.
But now, an ability that might be the golden finger suddenly appeared. This was undoubtedly like a shot of adrenaline for Di Mu, making him much more confident.
After that, Di Mu seemed to have found his favorite toy. He continued to study the electric current in his body in the infirmary, and even developed more detailed control over it.
After half a day, Di Mu roughly figured out the electric current or the energy.
Perhaps it was really the big explosion that caused Di Mu to accidentally awaken some superpowers, and this superpower did not come from his physical body, but from his original soul, which allowed Di Mu to bring it with him after he was reborn.
However, during the research process, Di Mu discovered that his superpowers were not just simple electric current, but also magnetic force.

Di Mu looked thoughtfully at the scalpel he got from the infirmary. He turned his hand with his palm facing down, but the scalpel seemed to be sucked by a magnet and stuck firmly in Di Mu’s palm.
“Electric current, magnetic force, could it be electromagnetic force?” Di Mu murmured while rubbing his slightly swollen head.
Electromagnetic force is one of the four basic forces in nature. It is said that electromagnetism and electricity are inseparable. Electricity generates magnetism, and magnetism generates electricity. The two are inherently interconnected.
Now Di Mu undoubtedly possesses electromagnetic force directly, not just electric current energy.
At the same time, during the research, Di Mu also discovered that this energy, which is most likely electromagnetic force, emerged from the center of his eyebrows, then flowed into the heart and then transmitted to all parts of the body.
When Di Mu was on Earth, he also heard that the most mysterious pineal gland in the human brain is located between the eyebrows. There are even rumors that the human soul is stationed in the pineal gland.
If this energy suspected to be electromagnetic force was really born in Di Mu’s soul, then perhaps those remarks about the earth in the previous life were true.
“Electromagnetic force? Hmm, then let’s name it ‘Source of Electromagnetism’!”
Although it is still unclear whether the energy at the center of the eyebrows is truly electromagnetic force, Di Mu is still inclined to believe it, and even simply gave this energy at the center of the eyebrows a name.
After determining the origin of the “source of electromagnetism”, Di Mu’s attention shifted to the application of electromagnetic force. At the same time, his swollen head became even more of a headache.
He is not a top student, but a poor student. He really doesn’t understand something as advanced as electromagnetic force, and only knows some very basic knowledge.
“Let’s do them one by one first. Let’s study the electric current energy first!” Di Mu’s head was getting more and more swollen and even sore, so he finally decided to do the easy ones first and then the difficult ones, starting with the electric current energy that he was more familiar with.
However, just as Di Mu was about to activate the electric current energy, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his sore head. Di Mu didn’t even have the chance to say a word. He just felt his eyes go dark and he lost consciousness. With a bang, he fell to the ground beside the bed and fell into a coma.
……
“Uh, I think I fainted before!” With a groan, Di Mu opened his eyes dazedly and sat up in confusion.
At this time, Di Mu was lying back on the hospital bed, and on the bedside table next to the bed were some cold steaks and rice.
“Is it evening already?” Di Mu’s consciousness gradually returned to normal. He glanced at the infirmary and was startled when he saw that the window on one side of the room was already pitch black and there was faint moonlight.
Di Mu tried hard to recall, and he remembered that he seemed to have suddenly lost consciousness when he was about to study the energy of electric current, and at this moment he felt a slight pain in his head.
“Why did he suddenly fall into coma? Could it be because of the ‘electromagnetic source’?” Di Mu frowned and thought secretly.
He didn’t feel any discomfort or abnormality in his body before he fell into a coma. The only thing was the soreness and pain in his head. He fell into a coma suddenly, which could easily be associated with the ‘electromagnetic source’ which was also located between his eyebrows.
Thinking of this, Di Mu also recalled that when he was studying the “Source of Electromagnetism”, he had fiddled with electric current energy and magnetism.
“The feeling I have now is very similar to the extreme mental fatigue I felt after staying up all night surfing the Internet. Could it be that when I activate the ‘Electromagnetic Source’, I will consume my mental energy?” Di Mu moved his hands and feet, and found that he did not feel anything unusual, so he couldn’t help but think in his heart.
The ‘electromagnetic source’ comes from the soul, and judging by the law of conservation of energy on Earth, it is very likely that when the ‘electromagnetic source’ is activated, the mental force closest to the soul will be consumed.
It is not without basis for Di Mu to have this conjecture. Just like the Devil Fruit users in this world also consume physical strength when using their Devil Fruit abilities, it is normal for him to consume mental strength when using the ‘Source of Electromagnetism’.
“It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. I can’t let the overload of the ‘Electromagnetic Source’ lead to coma again!” Di Mu breathed a sigh of relief but also warned himself inwardly.
If he fell into a coma on Earth, it would be fine, but it would be impossible in the world of One Piece. Since Di Mu has chosen to become stronger, he will inevitably encounter enemies. If he falls into a coma due to excessive consumption of mental energy during the battle with the enemy, it would be simply seeking death.
However, although he knew that using the ‘Electromagnetic Source’ would consume his mental energy, Di Mu still planned to continue his research before he fell into a coma.
The ‘source of electromagnetics’ is Di Mu’s greatest guarantee for becoming stronger now, and he must have a full understanding of it.
After quickly eating the dinner that was delivered to the bedside table at some point, Di Mu devoted himself to the research of electric current energy. He stopped only when he felt a severe headache and then went to sleep to recover his consumed mental energy.
…….
The CP organization is a violent organization hidden in the dark by the World Government. It needs to perform various shady tasks for the World Government. Therefore, every official member of the CP must possess sufficient strength.
The North Sea Branch CP Training Base is located on an isolated island somewhere in the North Sea. The outer periphery is a forest full of primitive atmosphere, while the interior of the island is constructed with strict base buildings.
At this time, on the 100 times 100 cement square of the base, there were two hundred teenagers wearing black vests, about seven or eight years old, running around the square with sweat on their heads.
The square is 100 times 100, and one lap is 400 meters. From the moment the first ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, the two hundred teenagers started running like a sprint. Now they have run 20 laps, which is a full eight kilometers.
Sprinting eight kilometers is difficult to accomplish even for adults on Earth, but now these two hundred CP students in the base are still doing it.
“Hurry up, whoever is last will have to do 10 more laps!”
“You useless bastards, haven’t you eaten yet? Why are you running so fast? With this, how can you be qualified to be a member of CP in the future!”
“…..!”
Behind the running students, several muscular men, also wearing black vests and holding wooden swords, kept shouting and waving them, and even kicked away the students who fell a little behind, forcing them to catch up with the main group.
“Damn it, you’ve just got up and you’ve already run here. You haven’t even seen breakfast yet, so of course you haven’t eaten!” Hearing the angry curses coming from behind, Di Mu, who was at the end of the crowd and was also sweating profusely and looking a little pale, cursed in his heart.

Chapter 4 Major Research (Old Version)
However, Di Mu never believed that the electric current energy of the “source of electromagnetic energy” was unchanging, just like human physical strength, which would be improved with exercise.
After discovering that the ‘source of electromagnetic energy’ would consume mental power, Di Mu also believed that the energy of electric current would also increase as his mental power became stronger.
In fact, Di Mu has been thinking about how to improve his mental power these days, but he has not found a way.
However, the important research that Di Mu is going to conduct today is not about how to improve mental strength, but about how to speed up the improvement of his physical fitness.
The training during the day was really exhausting. Although Di Mu gritted his teeth and persevered, and recovered with electrotherapy, even if he successfully became a CP member, he was still just a weakling in this world.
Di Mu knew clearly how terrifying the strong ones in the world of One Piece were. They could tear the sky and cut the sea at will. Except for CP0, which might be worth watching, the others, even Rob Lucci of CP9, would be nothing but a dish in the later stage.
Because he deeply understands the power of the world, Di Mu’s concept of power far exceeds that of other students, and he is more eager to become stronger.
However, after a few days of training, Di Mu discovered that his physique or talent was not as genius as Rob Lucci. On the contrary, compared with other students, he seemed very average, or even poor.
Di Mu understood that after normal training, his final achievement would probably be just graduating from the base, and then he would be lost among the many CP agents.
But Di Mu was unwilling to accept this. Before he experienced that incident, he might have felt that being ordinary was also a kind of happiness. But after realizing that being weak was a sin, he was absolutely unwilling to do so. He had to become stronger, stronger than anyone else.
Di Mu does not have as strong a background as Luffy. When he was a child, he was trained by a naval hero like Garp, and when he grew up, he was cultivated by Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King. He can only rely on himself.
Fortunately, as a time traveler, although Di Mu is alone in this world, he has countless great gods supporting him behind him.
Ever since Di Mu came up with the idea of ​​using electric current energy to perform electrotherapy to restore himself, an idea came to his mind.
It is also electric current energy. Since it can relieve muscle fatigue, can we use electric current energy to strengthen the body?
The so-called great god standing behind Di Mu is none other than the protagonist of thousands of novels and the anime world that only exists in fantasy, like the world of One Piece.
It’s like Uchiha Sasuke in Naruto, who was once beaten to a pulp by Rock Lee’s physical skills. However, in the process of learning Chidori, his cells were stimulated by electric current, and after a month he reached the physical skills level that Rock Lee had practiced for more than ten years.
There are also characters like the Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage. Both of them are experts in using lightning, and they both use lightning to stimulate cells to strengthen their physical fitness. The former in particular is a fierce man who single-handedly fought against 30,000 Rock Ninjas.
Di Mu did not expect to reach the physical fitness of a strong man like the Third Raikage, but he could refer to the above examples and use electric current energy to strengthen his cells.
Although the electric current energy generated by the current ‘Electromagnetic Source’ is far less powerful than the lightning of Chidori, it does not mean that it cannot strengthen cells due to its low power. At most, the effect will be slightly worse.
While thinking this in his mind, Di Mu also started the experiment, still sitting in the corner of the room to prevent the electric current from damaging the items in the room.
Just like during electrotherapy, Di Mu quickly made the electric current energy flow directly into cells throughout the body, and for safety reasons he reduced the intensity of the current energy. After that he slowly adjusted it, carefully flowing the current energy into the cells bit by bit.
“Hmm?! It’s a little sore, and it feels a bit like before the electrotherapy!” After a while, his body began to feel numb and sore, and then turned into soreness and swelling. But in just half an hour, Di Mu felt like he had just returned to the dormitory room, and his muscles all over his body were sore.
Di Mu was shocked and quickly stopped the electric current energy flowing into the cells. He then used electrotherapy again to relieve the muscle soreness.
Electrotherapy consumes very little electric current energy, and the previous attempt to strengthen cells also reduced the current intensity. After the whole process, it was still within Di Mu’s mental endurance range, and he did not feel much headache.
Another hour passed, and the muscle soreness disappeared as the electrotherapy eased. Di Mu calmed down and carefully felt the differences in his body.
“It seems that the cells have indeed become a little stronger. It feels like I have trained for one more day. I wonder if this is an illusion!” After recovering, Di Mu felt his body carefully and thought thoughtfully.
It’s just a one-time attempt. Even if it’s really useful, the effect is so weak that it’s hard to detect.
However, if it is really successful, then the meaning will be different. It only took about half an hour to use electric current to strengthen the cells, and the recovery from electrotherapy only took an hour and a half.
If one cell strengthening can really be compared to the level of training during the day, then it means that in 24 hours a day he is equivalent to doing sixteen times the normal training, which is sixteen times the effect.
Of course, this is only in theory. For example, Di Mu could only perform three rounds of electric current to strengthen cells and electrotherapy just now, and he would also need enough sleep to restore his mental strength.
But even so, it is already amazing. Combined with the training during the day, Di Mu only needs four and a half hours at night to achieve four times the training effect of other students. Over time, the effect will be even more amazing.
Seeing the quadruple effect, Di Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he became excited and started fighting.
Even if his physique is average, with four times the training effect, he is confident that he can surpass Rob Lucci, who is known as the strongest person in CP9 in the past eight hundred years.
And most importantly, this method of using electric current to strengthen cells is not static. As long as Di Mu can think of a way to enhance the “source of electromagnetic energy”, then as long as it is within the body’s tolerance range, the efficiency of strengthening cells will only get higher and higher.
Stimulated by the fourfold training effect, Di Mu had apparently selectively forgotten that whether or not the method of strengthening cells with electric current would be successful was still unknown. Instead, he began to enthusiastically give a name to this training method.
(It’s a new day again. I will try to keep it updated three times a day during the new book period. If you like this book, please support it by collecting it and giving me a reward. Thank you!)
Chapter 5 Electrode Strengthening (Old Version)
“Well, how about calling it ‘Current Limit Cell Enhancement’? Uh, the name seems a bit long, so let’s just call it ‘Electrode Enhancement’!” Soon, Di Mu came up with the name with a very satisfied look on his face.
As soon as the name was chosen, Di Mu became more motivated. He immediately started practicing “electrode strengthening” and at the same time, he immediately performed electrotherapy to recover from muscle soreness and twitching.
After going back and forth twice more, Di Mu had to stop practicing due to the pain in his head, and then he fell headfirst onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Because of the rapid consumption of mental energy, people will fall into a deep sleep under the self-protection function of the human body, thereby speeding up the recovery of mental energy.
Although Di Mu went to bed at almost three o’clock in the morning after three “electrode strengthening” sessions, his mental strength had almost recovered when he got up at six in the morning. In addition, training during the day consumed more physical energy, so his mental strength could be recovered slowly.
…..
Facts have proved that ‘electrode reinforcement’ is really effective. In the following days, Di Mu has been training with other students during the day, and at night he has his own private training and undergoes three ‘electrode reinforcement’ sessions.
In just half a month, Di Mu’s physical fitness seemed to have improved as if he had taken hormones. He jumped from the last place to the top among the trainees in the base.
For other students, half a month’s training is just half a month, but for Di Mu who uses “electrode reinforcement” training at night, half a month’s training is equivalent to completing two months of training.
Di Mu is an example of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. Even though he had a poor physique, Di Mu still fought hard to catch up. It took him two months to transform from a useless student in the eyes of the instructors into an excellent student.
Similarly, when Di Mu discovered that “electrode strengthening” was indeed effective, he was extremely excited, and even became particularly excited during training during the day.
Before he knew it, Di Mu had spent five months in the base, and he had gradually adapted to the devilish training in the base, even though the daily training was increasing a little bit.
People are like this. It may be difficult to adapt at first, but time is the best lubricant. As long as you hold on, you will adapt to everything.
Another day passed. Like other students, Di Mu came to the school hall of the base after dinner, sat in his seat, and waited for today’s knowledge to be taught.
“Newbies, today we are teaching you the knowledge and responses of swordsmen…” Just like a classroom at an Earth University, a CP instructor stood on the podium, lecturing with spit flying, while the students sat upright in their seats.
Di Mu also listened carefully to the instructor’s explanation on the stage. In order to become a strong man, in addition to strength, one also needs to have sufficient knowledge and experience.
CP’s knowledge professors don’t have any unnecessary nonsense, it’s all valuable experience. Although Di Mu was a poor student in his previous life, in order to become stronger, he is now developing towards becoming a top student.
At this time, the instructor on the podium quickly explained all the basic knowledge and coping methods of the swordsman. Seeing that the students were listening attentively, he felt quite satisfied and still felt a little unsatisfied.
This instructor is not only an official member of CP, but also a swordsman. Naturally, he is very enthusiastic when explaining his profession.
clang~!
As he was speaking, the instructor suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist. A cold light flashed, and the instructor stroked the blade with pride on his face.
“Rookies, swordsmen are a very powerful group of people. This is not only because the sword itself can make people more lethal, but also because swordsmen themselves are full of power!”
“I’m very pleased to see that you all listened so attentively today, so I will explain more about swordsmen to you next!”
“In the eyes of ordinary people, swordsman may just be a general term. Anyone who uses a sword can be called a swordsman. But here, I want to say that people who have this perception are absolutely rubbish!”
“Those who can only swing randomly are not qualified to be swordsmen. Even before becoming a swordsman, only those who have truly condensed their sword heart can be considered swordsmen. You must remember this!”
“Instructor Brady, what is a swordsman?” Just as the instructor on the stage was explaining like an angry young man, a student sitting in the front row asked curiously.
Hearing this, Di Mu sat up straighter and looked more attentively at the instructor on the stage, the man the students called Brady.
Although he had some understanding of some power systems in the world of One Piece, he only stayed on the surface. A swordsman who could be called a swordsman could be considered a strong man even in the Grand Line, so he naturally had to pay attention to him.
“Good question!” Brady was not angry because the student interrupted him. Instead, he looked at him with appreciation.
“Speaking of swordsmen, we have to talk about the several levels of swordsmen!” Brady said seriously.
Di Mu looked at the other party curiously. Do swordsmen have levels? It seems that this is not mentioned in the original book. This cannot be ignored.
As Di Mu listened carefully, Brady continued, “Swordsmen can be roughly divided into four levels or classes. At the same time, even in the same class, there are differences in strength. From weak to strong, they are ‘initial stage ~ outstanding ~ peak!'”
“As for the four classes of swordsmen, the first class refers to those who have learned swordsmanship. From those who only know a little bit to those who have mastered swordsmanship, they all belong to this class. But there is one iron rule, that is, they must have practiced sword meditation and started to condense their swordsmanship. Not everyone who picks up a sword and can only swing it randomly can be called a swordsman!”
“The second level is the swordsman I just mentioned. It also represents the realm of iron-cutting. A swordsman at this level can feel the breath and rhythm of all things in the world. Even an ordinary sword can cut through steel!”
“The third class is the Great Swordsman. Swordsmen of this class are even more terrifying. On top of their swordsmanship, they can cut through materials that are stronger than steel, such as diamond, seastone, and other extremely hard materials!”
“As for the final fourth level, it is the dream of all swordsmen. It is said that swordsmen who have reached this level can cut through anything, even energy or space. Of course, until now, I have not heard of any swordsman who can reach this level. It has always been in the realm of legend!”
Speaking of the last level, Brady also had a look of yearning and admiration on his face. Perhaps as a swordsman, he also dreamed of one day being able to reach the legendary realm of being able to cut through anything.
Chapter 6: Sword Heart and Spirit (Old Version)
Following Brady’s explanation, the students in the audience became a little agitated. As they had not even learned the Six Styles of the Navy yet, they were undoubtedly amazed that a swordsman at only the second level could cut through steel.
“Instructor Brady, now that you have reached the level of a swordsman, can you tell us what the sword heart is?” Di Mu suddenly stood up from his seat and asked Brady with bright eyes.
“Of course!” Brady was very satisfied to see that it was Di Mu, who was one of the best students, who asked the question. Those who study well are always favored by teachers.
“I am at the second level of swordsman, which is the realm of swordsman. Of course, my talent in swordsmanship is not that good. Until now, I am only at the initial level of swordsman!” Brady said with a smile, and even showed pride on his face.
Even if he is only an early-stage swordsman, being able to become a swordsman is what countless swordsmen desire.
Moreover, a swordsman at the swordsman level would be enough to dominate the four seas, let alone the first half of the Grand Line.
When they heard that Brady was a swordsman, the CP students, including Di Mu, were amazed.
Di Mu originally thought that the opponent was just a first-class swordsman. After all, he was a member of the CP organization and must be specialized in the Six Styles of the Navy. However, he did not expect that the opponent also had such strength in kendo.
“Brady’s strength is probably not worse than Zoro who defeated CP9 Kaku in the original work!” Di Mu said in his heart.
Zoro only realized the Iron-Slashing realm after the battle of Alabasta. Even if he became stronger before entering the Judicial Island arc, it would not be a big leap. Brady is also a swordsman at the swordsman level, and he must have learned the Six Styles of the Navy. Naturally, his strength is extraordinary.
Although CP9 has always been hailed as the strongest among the CP organizations by those One Piece fans in the previous life, Di Mu knows that this is complete nonsense.
During this period of knowledge transfer at the base, Di Mu learned many CP secrets that were not shown in the original work.
Just like CP0 which is superior to CP1 to CP8, the members in it are far superior to those of CP9. Moreover, members of the CP organization usually retreat behind the scenes after they are fifty years old because they are too old and cannot perform their tasks.
Fifty years old is still considered the prime of life in the world of One Piece. One’s strength will not decline due to aging, but may continue to improve.
Among these retired CP members, some will enter CP0 due to their outstanding strength, and a larger part will become the hidden force of the World Government, or choose to become senior instructors at the base to train a new generation of CP members like Brady, and be assigned to the CP training bases in the Four Seas and the Grand Line.
It can be said that except for CP0, the current members of CP1 to CP9 are just the new generation after the retirement of the old generation. Even if the strength of Rob Lucci has increased rapidly, they will not be much stronger than the old generation of CP members.
Di Mu’s judgment that Brady might not be weaker than Zoro in the Encyclopedia Island arc is just an overestimated view. On the contrary, it is very likely that Brady is even stronger than Zoro at that time.
Just when Di Mu was daydreaming, Brady, after talking about his level of swordsmanship, went on to talk about the sword heart that Di Mu had asked about later.
“As I said before, only those who have condensed the sword heart can be called swordsmen, and the so-called sword heart is an illusory thing that is created through communication with the sword day after day and visualization with one’s own spirit!”
“Of course, although the sword heart is illusory, it is real to every swordsman. Just like a swordsman who breaks through from the first level to the second level, it is because the sword heart is condensed and powerful enough that he can sense the breathing and rhythm of all things in the world!”
“It can be said that the stronger the swordsman’s heart is, the higher his spiritual realm is, which also represents the strength of a person’s spiritual power. Although spiritual power is not as intuitive as physical strength, there is no doubt that strong spiritual power is very important…!”
Brady became more and more excited as he spoke, and later the topic gradually shifted to mental power, and he listed a lot of reasons why mental power is important.
When Brady was explaining the sword heart, Di Mu reacted immediately and listened carefully, but when Brady talked about mental power, he was stunned.
The stronger the swordsman’s swordsman’s heart is, the higher his spiritual realm is, and it also represents the strength of a person’s mental power. So does that mean that when a swordsman strengthens his swordsman’s heart, he is also strengthening his mental power?
Di Mu’s heart trembled, and he was instantly surprised. Although he had developed the “electrode strengthening”, he had not found a way to improve his mental strength during this period.
Now Brady’s words were undoubtedly like a way for Di Mu to find the exit from the maze he was trapped in, making him ecstatic.
“Calm down, you have to stay calm!” Di Mu suppressed the surprise in his heart and tried to stay calm, but even so, his eyes were full of fire when he looked at Brady who was still talking and commentating on the stage.
If a swordsman can really improve his mental strength by practicing and improving his swordsmanship, then this means that as long as he also learns the way of the sword, his mental strength will inevitably improve, and the “source of electromagnetics” will also become stronger.
After feeling the benefits brought by ‘Electrode Strengthening’, Di Mu absolutely attaches great importance to the ‘Source of Electromagnetism’. Not to mention that once the ‘Source of Electromagnetism’ can be improved, the effect of ‘Electrode Strengthening’ will inevitably be improved, which will also prompt him to become stronger at a faster rate.
In just a moment, Di Mu had already decided in his heart that he wanted to learn kendo, and after the class was over, he was going to go directly to Brady and ask him to teach him kendo.
Di Mu didn’t have much attention for the following lectures, as he was completely focused on kendo. When the three-hour lecture was over and Brady was about to leave, Di Mu immediately stood up and followed him.
“Instructor Brady, please wait a minute!” After leaving the school hall, Di Mu, who was following closely, called out to Brady who was heading to the other side of the corridor, and at the same time ran quickly to him.
“Huh?! It’s you. What’s the matter?” Brady looked at Di Mu who called him with some surprise.
(Today’s three chapters have been updated. As usual, if you like this book, please support it by collecting it or giving it a reward!)
Chapter 7 Half-year Assessment (Old Version)
In the past, after the class, all the students would be eager to return to the dormitory. After all, the training during the day had already made the students exhausted. When they could rest, they would naturally be eager to return to the dormitory to sleep.
“It’s like this. After listening to the kendo knowledge explained by Instructor Brady just now, I have developed a strong interest in kendo. So here I hope that Instructor Brady can teach me kendo!” Di Mu said with a deep bow.
If you want to ask for advice, you must have the attitude of asking for advice. The protagonists in those novels are still very weak after traveling to other worlds, but they look down on everything and act like “God is the boss, Earth is second, and I am third”. Those people are idiots. Di Mu is naturally not that kind of idiot.
Brady seemed even more surprised when he heard Di Mu’s words, but he was also very satisfied that Di Mu asked him to teach him kendo.
“Well, No. 110, you not only performed very well in training, but also had excellent knowledge. The fact that you thought of learning kendo shows that you have a good vision!” Brady said with great appreciation.
Di Mu was delighted when he heard this. The other party had shown great admiration for Kendo when he was explaining it before. It turned out that he also attached great importance to Kendo.
“Instructor Brady, you are too kind. It’s not that I have excellent knowledge, but my kendo is indeed very strong. Although I haven’t learned the Six Navy Styles yet, from your explanation just now, I can feel that kendo has more potential than the Six Navy Styles!” Di Mu expressed his admiration for kendo without hesitation.
Brady also liked this. When he heard Di Mu praising kendo, the admiration on his face became even stronger.
“Hehe, what you said is very good, and I am very satisfied. However, I am afraid it is not possible for you to ask me to teach you kendo!” Brady pretended to cough to ease his emotions, then waved his hand and said.
Di Mu became anxious. What was going on? She had just shown admiration for him, but how could she reject him the instant she turned around?
“Instructor Brady, is there any difficulty? I really want to learn kendo. I hope you can teach me!” Di Mu said sincerely.
Brady sighed and said helplessly, “It’s not that I don’t want to teach you kendo. It’s rare to find a student who likes kendo so much as you do. I also want to teach you. But there is a rule in the base that all students cannot learn combat skills other than the Six Styles of the Navy before they graduate and become official CP members!”
Upon hearing this, Di Mu was startled, and then he remembered that he had mentioned this rule during his previous lectures, which seemed to be intended to prevent students from being distracted.
Di Mu’s heart suddenly sank. The CP student training at the base would last for six years, which meant that even if he graduated successfully, he would still have to spend more than five and a half years to learn kendo.
Di Mu was extremely eager to improve his ‘Electromagnetic Source’, and naturally he was not willing to waste so much time. However, even if he wanted to escape from the base and go to the outside world to learn swordsmanship, he did not have the strength to do so.
The entire island where the base is located is under surveillance, and there are dozens of CP instructors in the base. These CP instructors have the right to directly shoot to death any student who attempts to escape.
For a moment, Di Mu’s face turned a little ugly. Did he really have to waste several years?
Brady had been looking at Di Mu and saw that Di Mu’s face turned ugly. He subconsciously thought that this was because Di Mu was unable to do swordsmanship.
“I didn’t expect he would love kendo so much!” Brady thought in surprise.
The other students were exhausted just from training during the day and couldn’t wait to rest as soon as they had free time. If they were learning kendo, the amount of training would undoubtedly be even greater. Brady didn’t expect Di Mu to be so obsessed with kendo.
But after the surprise, Brady also felt a strong impulse.
Although he looks strong and healthy, he is actually almost sixty years old. In addition, he has many hidden injuries from the excessive CP training when he was young and the years of carrying out missions.
Brady knew clearly that in a few years the hidden injuries in his body would probably erupt. By then, not only would his strength be greatly reduced, he might not even be able to live long.
Di Mu’s current obsession with and love for kendo made Brady feel as if he saw himself when he first came into contact with kendo, making him a little dazed.
“Maybe there is a solution!” Brady couldn’t help but blurt out.
Di Mu, who was feeling heavy in his heart, was stunned when he heard Brady’s words. Then he raised his head and looked at him closely, and said hurriedly: “Instructor Brady, do you have any other way to let me learn kendo?”
Brady hesitated for a moment and nodded, “Yes, although the base stipulates that students are not allowed to learn combat skills other than the Navy’s Six Styles before graduation, some particularly outstanding students can be given special treatment!”
“Instructor Brady, what you mean is…!” Di Mu asked tentatively.
“That’s right. As long as you perform well enough, for example, you can win the first place in the semi-annual assessment in a month, then I may be able to help you ask the chief instructor to allow you to learn kendo!” Brady said seriously.
Perhaps because he valued his talent, or perhaps because he wanted to pass on his kendo skills before he died of old age, Brady decided to help this student who was obsessed with kendo.
Di Mu took a deep breath, with determination in his eyes. He had secured the first place in the half-year assessment.
Just like the midterm and final exams in school, in the CP training base, in order to verify the effectiveness of the training and to determine which students are excellent and which are useless, assessments are also conducted every six months.
Ever since he realized that the only way to learn kendo was to win first place in the semi-annual assessment, Di Mu became extremely desperate.
In the last month that followed, Di Mu trained himself like crazy even during daytime training, as if he was risking his life.
During the morning run, when the other students had finished the increased 50 laps, Di Mu had already sprinted 80 laps.
While other students punched, kicked, and squatted 5,000 times, Di Mu punched, kicked, and squatted 8,000 times. In short, in the same amount of time, Di Mu completed more training volume beyond the standard.
Di Mu has electrotherapy that can relieve and repair muscle damage caused by overload training, so he can push his body even more crazily.
(This is the first chapter today, there are two more chapters to come!)
Chapter 8 Assessment Begins (Old Version)
Similarly, after five months of “electrode strengthening”, Di Mu’s physical fitness is definitely at the top level among all the students, which allows him to complete more training at all costs.
Under Di Mu’s crazy training, some students were shocked, while some students who were also among the top group were unwilling to be defeated by Di Mu and wanted to compete with Di Mu.
However, these students could hold out for a day or two without the “Source of Electromagnetic Energy”, but after a long time, these top students could not hold out any longer and could only watch Di Mu leave them far behind.
“I was right about this kid. Maybe he will really get the first place in the second half of the assessment!” Brady has been secretly observing Di Mu’s performance. When he saw Di Mu’s madness during training, he was not only shocked but also more relieved.
At the same time, Brady had made up his mind completely that if Di Mu really got the first place in the second half of the assessment, he would even sacrifice his face to ask the chief instructor to teach Di Mu kendo.
Time passed little by little, and soon, a month had passed. It was also the time for the first half-year assessment of Di Mu’s CP students.
Early in the morning, accompanied by the assembly whistle, the two hundred trainees in the base, including Di Mu, gathered in the square where they usually trained, standing in neat and straight lines.
A capable old man with a lean body, more than half of his hair was silver-white, and his arms were muscular while he was wearing a vest. He stood in front of a group of students. He was the chief instructor of the Beihai CP training base and also the highest commander in the base, Carlod!
“Today is the first six months for you rookies entering the base. I won’t waste any more time. Next, you will have your first six-month assessment. If anyone exceeds the minimum standard, then there is no need for him to stay in the base. The sea beasts outside the island will welcome him!” Carlod said expressionlessly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Di Mu and all the students were startled. They all knew that the other party was not joking. If anyone exceeded the minimum standard in the assessment, they would definitely become food for the sea beasts outside the island.
Following Carlod’s words, all the students became nervous and tensed their bodies. They followed the examiners standing around and began to conduct the tests one by one.
This half-year assessment is divided into five categories, namely speed, strength, explosive power, Taoist power, and the most brutal actual combat.
The first test is speed. Each student is required to run ten laps around a 400-meter-long square, which is 4,000 meters. The results are then calculated based on the time.
Although the oldest student present was only eight and a half years old, the people in the One Piece world had physical fitness that was incomparable to that of people on Earth, not to mention that they had undergone half a year of devilish training.
According to the order of the codes, each group of ten people took speed tests. After several groups finished the tests, the results obtained, even the slowest one, were at the level of Earth participating in the Olympic Games.
This is because the students have not yet fully developed physically and their legs are relatively short. Otherwise, this result and speed can definitely be improved.
“No. 100…No. 110, get ready!” As the instructor who was counting the time shouted, a group of students including Di Mu also came to the starting line.
The instructor raised a real gun and fired a shot into the sky. As the gunshot rang out, Di Mu, who had been ready to go, kicked his feet and rushed out like a cheetah.
The air whistled across his face like a stream of air, and Di Mu’s speed exploded. In less than one lap he was already far ahead, and by the third lap he had surpassed the last student. By the time he finished ten laps, the second-placed student had just started his seventh lap.
“So fast! This guy actually surpassed the second place by three laps!”
“Damn it, I’m afraid I won’t get first place in the speed test!”
“Too fast, is this guy a monster? He was so weak at the beginning, how come he is so powerful now?!”
The students who had finished the assessment or had not yet taken the assessment all had different expressions and made a commotion when they saw Di Mu finish the assessment with absolute advantage.
“Good, your result is six minutes and forty seconds!” The instructor who was timing the time took a look at the time, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he said with a gentle face to Di Mu who was jogging towards him after crossing the finish line.
“Six minutes and forty seconds? That’s equivalent to ten meters per second. Is this my speed?” Di Mu nodded slightly, then walked into the crowd, ignoring the strange looks from the students around him.
In the previous life on Earth, the world record for the 100-meter race was 9.58 seconds, but that was a sprint, while Di Mu was a 4,000-meter runner. But even so, Di Mu’s current speed is almost on par with the 100-meter world record. This is enough to show how amazing Di Mu’s physical strength and speed are now.
However, Di Mu was only a little surprised by all this and soon regained his composure.
Not to mention the intensity of physical fitness and CP training, just the “electrode strengthening” three times a night is enough to explain everything.
In the same half year, other students practiced for six months, but Di Mu, with the four times effect, practiced for two years. If he was still not good enough, then Di Mu could only say that he was useless.
When the speed test was over, it was obvious that Di Mu, who had practiced for the equivalent of a year and a half longer than the others, took the shortest time and directly won the first place in the speed test.
The second assessment was strength. Di Mu also performed amazingly. He directly lifted the 300-kilogram barbell used to test strength and also got first place in the strength assessment.
The third test was explosive power, in which Di Mu sprinted 100 meters with an instantaneous burst of energy. He directly broke the world record of his previous life and reached the finish line in just over seven seconds, also winning first place again.
The fourth test of Tao power is somewhat similar to the test of explosive power, but it is used to test the instantaneous burst of attack power.
After learning all six styles of the Navy, one can develop an extended skill called “Hand-in”, which allows one to judge the strength of the enemy’s attack by taking the opponent’s blows. This is a technique specifically used to test a person’s moral strength.
The instructors in the base are either retired veteran CP members or elites selected by the CP organization. Naturally, they all know how to fight together, and the trainees all unleash their strongest attacks on each instructor.
(The third chapter will be a little later, and I would like to ask for collection and reward here!)
Chapter 9: Little Expectation (Old Version)
Bang!
Di Mu’s eyes were sharp. He rushed out from one meter away and almost instantly kicked the instructor in front of him on the hands that were blocking in front of him. The powerful force caused a loud noise to be made by the collision.
The instructor attacked by Di Mu thought for a moment and then calculated Di Mu’s Dao Power. With a look of amazement on his face, he said, “Dao Power 92, you are really amazing, you have achieved such a result in just half a year. This has already exceeded the highest Dao Power result in the first half-year assessment in the history of our Beihai base!”
Dao power can be said to represent a person’s attack power. The most ordinary naval soldier’s Dao power value is 10, while Di Mu’s Dao power value is ninety-two, which means that Di Mu’s attack power is nearly ten times that of an ordinary naval soldier.
“Thank you for the compliment. I am still far behind you instructors!” Di Mu was a little excited in his heart, but his face did not show any extra expression. After bowing slightly, he returned to the crowd.
Di Mu was just an ordinary person on Earth, but now after half a year he has possessed a Dao power of ninety-two. Although this is still far from the strong men in this world, it is enough to prove that he now possesses strength beyond ordinary people, and it also represents that he has taken the first step towards becoming a strong man.
“I still have to work hard. Under normal circumstances, Rob Lucci has four thousand Dao powers. But even so, he is not a real strong man. I only have ninety-two Dao powers. There is nothing to be proud of!” Di Mu calmed down the excitement in his heart and warned himself.
The examples of protagonists in countless novels have proved that once one becomes proud at any time, danger is not far away. After all, Di Mu is not a real seven and a half year old boy. His mental age is already in his twenties, so he naturally understands this truth.
“No. 75 Dao Power 30!”
“No. 134 Dao Power 42!”
When Di Mu finished the test of his Dao power, the other students also quickly completed their Dao power assessments. After the results were summarized, Di Mu once again took the first place with a Dao power of ninety-two, far exceeding the second place’s sixty-five.
“Okay, the first four items of the half-year assessment have ended, so let’s go to the location of the fifth practical assessment!” After the instructors gathered the students together, Carlod stepped forward again and spoke loudly.
The actual combat assessment is not conducted on the island where the base is located, but on a special island in the nearby waters.
Led by Carlod and ten instructors, Di Mu and all the students walked out of the base for the first time. After passing through the forest outside the island, they boarded a large ship that had been prepared long ago, and then sailed towards the sea.
On their way there, Di Mu and the students were informed of the specific contents of the practical assessment. After learning about the contents of the assessment, even Di Mu’s expression changed slightly.
The training of the CP organization is absolutely cruel. The so-called practical assessment is to send all the students to a special island, and on this island are placed as many as 500 pirates and criminals captured by the CP organization.
If Di Mu and the students want to pass this test, all they have to do is kill the pirates and criminals on the island and take away the iron rings locked on the arms of each pirate and criminal.
The iron rings represent the results, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of the bounty of the person to whom the iron rings belong. Each iron ring is engraved with the corresponding bounty number.
‘One’ represents a bounty of 100,000 Baileys, ‘Two’ represents a bounty of 200,000 Baileys, and the highest is ‘Fifty’ which represents a bounty of 5 million Baileys.
After the assessment is over, the final score will be determined by adding the numbers on the iron rings obtained. The higher the number, the higher the assessment score. The assessment time is three days.
“Sure enough, I knew it would be like this. Surviving on the island for three days without food, and killing pirates and criminals with bounties ranging from 100,000 to 5 million berries, this is totally asking for death!” Di Mu couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
Regardless of how powerful the pirates and criminals on the island are, they are definitely ruthless characters.
Although the trainees in the base have gained some strength after half a year of training, most of them have never killed anyone. Now they have to fight with a group of vicious criminals, and they will first of all be under great psychological pressure.
Di Mu didn’t know what the other students were thinking, but he was… a little looking forward to the upcoming killing.
When he was on Earth, he had already killed eighteen people. Although they were poisoned, he watched those people struggle and die in pain one by one. He had already felt the shock of killing.
Although Di Mu was complaining in his mind, he was actually quite excited when he found out that the next test would require killing.
When he realized that “weakness is a sin”, or when he killed the 18 people who had destroyed his family, Di Mu might not have realized it himself, but in fact his three views had already been distorted, as can be seen from his excitement when faced with killing.
……..
Half a day later, CP’s ship arrived at an island that looked full of primitive atmosphere, with lush trees and weeds growing on it, and even the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time.
“I’ve heard it all. For the next practical test, all instructors will not go to the island. Whether you can pass the test or not depends entirely on your ability!!”
“Five hundred pirates and criminals are already on the island. We will provide you with some weapons. Each of you can only choose one!”
As the ship docked, all the students got off the boat and walked onto the shore, while Carlod stood on the bow and shouted coldly, then asked several instructors to carry several large wooden boxes from the deck. Inside were various weapons, including rifles, pistols, and cold weapons such as knives and swords.
All the students hurried to the wooden boxes and quickly picked out the weapons they liked from them. Most of them chose rifles and pistols, which are hot weapons.
It is obvious that although the CP students have possessed strength beyond ordinary people after half a year, they still believe in firearms more when facing the upcoming battle.
Di Mu also came to the wooden box. After checking the rifle and pistol, he did not choose a hot weapon. Instead, he took out a small sword with a sheath from the wooden box.
“Although the gun is good, it is only equipped with six bullets. Now we have to survive on the island for three days. Six bullets are not enough. At this time, cold weapons are more practical!” Di Mu said in his heart.
(The third chapter has been uploaded. If you like this book, please support it by collecting it or giving a reward!)
Chapter 10: Hardcore Romance (Old Version)
Although firearms are very lethal to ordinary people, once the bullets are used up, they are no different from fire sticks. When Di Mu found that he was running low on bullets, he decisively chose cold weapons.
The small sword that Di Mu chose was about 66 centimeters long including the handle. Although it was not a good sword, it was enough for him to exert more powerful lethality.
Of course, although the body shapes of people in the One Piece world are somewhat abnormal, with some being over two meters tall and some even being seven or eight meters tall, Di Mu’s body still belongs to the Earth’s standards. At the age of seven and a half, he is less than one meter three.
Even though it was a small sword, Di Mu could not hang it on his waist like those swordsmen did. He could only find a cloth belt and tie it diagonally behind his back.
“Okay, then the assessment will officially begin!” Seeing that the students had chosen their weapons, Carlod announced coldly.
All the students looked at each other, and then silently moved towards the interior of the island, while also dispersing. After all, in the next assessment, everyone is a competitor.
Di Mu also turned around and identified a direction, heading towards the forest inside the island. At the same time, he pulled out the small sword behind him from the fixed scabbard and held it in his hand to prevent any danger that might arise at any time.
Walking in the somewhat dark forest, Di Mu’s eyes kept scanning the surroundings vigilantly. After a while, when he saw human footprints near a big tree, his gaze fixed.
At this time, the importance of the knowledge teaching conducted by the CP organization every night is highlighted in advance. Any clue is precious intelligence, enough to determine the success of an assassination.
“Fortunately, I am smart and never slack off when studying at night!” Di Mu grinned and walked towards the location of the footprints. After investigating it, he followed the clues left along the way.
The footprints Di Mu found were left by an adult. If there were adult humans on the island, then they could only be pirates or criminals captured by the base. Relying on the tracking techniques he learned in the base, Di Mu searched the forest and quickly found the owner of the footprints.
With his body hidden behind a big tree, Di Mu’s eyes were fixed on a dishevelled figure not far ahead.
The figure was a thin man who was sitting under a tree and wolfing down some unknown fruit. There was a big knife beside him.
“It seems that the base did not confiscate the weapons of the pirates and criminals after catching them. Is it to increase the difficulty of the test?”
Di Mu thought silently in his heart, and then he looked at the flat iron ring on the right arm of the thin man. A “one” could be faintly seen on it, which meant that the reward for the thin man was 100,000 Baileys.
Although the bounty does not completely determine a person’s strength, the difference will not be too big. One hundred thousand Baileys of bounty is not very high, which means that the thin man’s strength is at most slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
Di Mu was a little conflicted. Although the opponent was not strong, should he assassinate him or just go for the fight head-on?
If you follow CP’s teachings and are a qualified agent, no matter how weak the enemy is, it is best to resort to assassination to ensure that the mission can be completed 100%.
Thinking of this, Di Mu made a decision. He walked out from behind the big tree and walked towards the thin man with a swagger.
Just kidding, as a man, even if he is only seven and a half years old now, it is a man’s romance to fight back, isn’t it? Di Mu simply chose to fight head-on.
“Who!” The thin man was also very alert. When Di Mu exposed his whereabouts and approached, he quickly realized it. He hurriedly picked up the big knife beside him and looked at Di Mu warily.
The thin man did not let his guard down just because Di Mu was just a child, because when they were captured, they were told that a group of teenagers would come to the island to hunt them in the next three days.
According to the terrifying men who had captured them and brought them to the island, if they did not want to be executed, they must do their best to fight back against the teenagers who were hunting them. As long as any one of them killed a teenager, they would have a chance to survive.
It has to be said that Carlod is also a pervert. In order to ensure the cruelty of the assessment, he stimulates the captured pirates and criminals without leaving any room for them, making them frantically resist the hunting of the trainees in the hope of survival.
If Di Mu knew about this situation, he would definitely complain about the cruelty and bloodiness of the CP organization.
When Di Mu saw the thin man react, there was no extra expression on his face. He suddenly kicked his feet, and with mud splashing everywhere, his figure suddenly rushed out like a cheetah.
Di Mu’s explosive power surpassed all the other students and was far beyond the level of normal people. At this moment, he exploded and rushed to the front of the thin man in an instant like a gust of wind, and the small sword in his hand also emitted a cold light.
“Kill!” The thin man was also shocked by Di Mu’s explosive power, but in the hope of surviving, he still forced himself to cheer up, encouraged himself by screaming, and hysterically swung the sword in front of him.
“So slow!” When Di Mu saw the big knife falling, he didn’t feel scared, but a little disappointed. He dodged it with a flash of his body, and when the big knife hit the ground beside him, the small sword in his hand cut across, and in an instant it cut across the thin man’s abdomen.
Phew~!
Blood spurted out. The small sword was very sharp, especially when Di Mu’s strength exceeded normal by several times. It cut open the thin man’s belly in one stroke, causing blood and intestines to flow out.
The thin man fell to the ground with a thud and twitched in pain on the dirt.
“Sure enough, a man with a bounty of 100,000 Baileys poses no threat to me!” Di Mu didn’t care that his body was stained red by the blood spurting out of the other party. After muttering, he raised his knife and chopped off the thin man’s head, making sure that the other party was completely dead.
Although this was a real murder rather than a milder poisoning, Di Mu did not feel much pain. Instead, he cut off the opponent’s right arm with his small sword with an expressionless face, and then removed the opponent’s iron ring.
“Now that I’ve got one point, let’s look for better prey!” Di Mu casually tied the iron ring to his belt, smiled and continued to search in the forest.
(This is the first update today, there will be two more to come!)
Chapter 11: Brutal Beheading (Old Version)
From the beginning of the assessment, killing broke out on the island. There were CP trainees killing pirates and criminals, and there were also criminals and pirates killing trainees back. It was a feast of killing.
The clear stream flows slowly, and from time to time a small fish jumps out of the water happily, leaving a graceful posture before returning to the stream.
However, the stream was soon polluted. Strands of blood flowed from the shore into the stream, causing the stream to quickly turn a strange red color.
“I’m so happy. Blood tastes the best!”
On the bank of the stream, an enchanting moan was heard, and a beautiful woman with a hot body and extremely revealing clothes, almost naked, licked the blood-stained dagger in her hand, looking intoxicated.
The beautiful woman not only has a hot body, but also has a very charming and beautiful face. She is like a red rose that makes all men who see her can’t help but have a physiological reaction.
But it was obvious that this red rose had thorns and was highly poisonous. Next to the beautiful woman was lying a dead CP student, whose body was almost chopped into pieces.
“Ahem, excuse me, you seem to have killed my companion!” Just as the beautiful woman was intoxicated by the blood, a cough suddenly came from the woods not far away, and then a young man walked out with an innocent look on his face.
The beautiful woman turned to look, then her beautiful eyes lit up and she laughed softly, “Haha, there’s actually a handsome boy here, what a surprise. How about playing a game between adults with your sister?”
“Well, although I really want to, unfortunately, my body doesn’t allow it!” Di Mu sighed as he walked forward.
The downside of getting smaller is that he finally meets a beautiful woman, but her body is not strong enough, which hurts the mentally mature Di Mu a lot.
“Really? That’s a pity indeed. However, there are many kinds of games between adults. If you want, handsome boy, you can play with your body as you like!” The beautiful woman looked at Di Mu who was getting closer and closer, played with the dagger in her hand, and said in a tempting tone.
Di Mu’s eyes lit up. As a novice driver, he was indeed too inexperienced. Experienced drivers had many different ways of playing, and he still needed to learn well.
However, the brightness in Di Mu’s eyes quickly dimmed, and he said with some regret: “No, although I am very moved by what you said, I still need to complete the next assessment. If you don’t mind, please let me cut off your arm and let me take the iron ring!”
The beautiful woman’s face froze, and then turned cold. She had been hunting geese all day, but she didn’t expect that she would be fooled today. The other party was not seduced by her from the beginning, but was fooling her instead.
“My sister’s arm is very precious, and kid, has anyone ever said that you have a bad character!” The beautiful woman held the dagger in her backhand and said coldly.
Di Mu shrugged his shoulders and grinned, revealing his white teeth: “How could that be? I think you have a good personality, but it seems that you don’t want me to cut off your arm, so I have to cut off your whole body first!”
The small sword in his hand, which was shining with a cold light, turned slightly. Di Mu suddenly quickened his pace, and after taking a few steps, he stomped his feet hard.
The soil on the ground caved in in an instant, and Di Mu rushed out in an instant. His speed was so fast that he arrived in front of the beautiful woman almost in an instant.
Ding~!
In a lightning-fast clash, the small sword and the dagger collided in an instant, splashing dazzling sparks, and even the air made a slight sound.
The beautiful woman’s face changed, and her body retreated uncontrollably. She was directly knocked back into the stream by the force of Di Mu’s slashing attack.
The water splashed, and the already scarce and thin clothes on the beautiful woman were immediately soaked by the water, exposing her hot body almost naked. The two bright red spots and the mysterious black area made all men unable to stop.
“Nice figure!” Di Mu whistled frivolously, but there was no mercy in his hands. In an instant, his body moved with the sword and he jumped up directly, a full three meters high, and slashed down violently from top to bottom with both hands holding the small sword.
The beautiful woman, who had already felt Di Mu’s powerful strength, dared not continue to confront him and quickly dodged.
Crash~!
The small sword slashed into the stream, and the Taoist power that was nearly ten times that of an ordinary person caused the water surface to be torn apart instantly, splashing huge waves. At this moment, the beautiful woman who had dodged also turned around fiercely, and the dagger slashed towards Di Mu’s neck who had also fallen into the stream.
But unfortunately, Di Mu had already seen through the beautiful woman’s actions. He bent his body to avoid the dagger and at the same time moved close to her. His small sword slashed across the beautiful woman’s slender waist, which could be held in both hands, with lightning speed.
The stream was churning and blood was gushing out. The beautiful woman had an expression of disbelief and despair on her face. Her upper body simply slipped and fell into the stream, turning the stream completely blood red.
“Look, it would have been better if you told me to cut off your arm earlier. Now your whole body has been cut off by me!” Di Mu sighed, but his hands were not slow. He directly took off the iron ring from the arm of the beautiful woman whose body he had cut off, and the beautiful woman was cut into three parts.
“Hmm, ten? I knew that all the pirates and criminals I met before were almost killed instantly. No wonder this woman was able to kill other students and fight with me for several rounds!” After Di Mu took a look at the number on the iron ring in his hand, he casually tied it to his belt.
At this time, on Di Mu’s belt, there were already nine iron rings, in addition to the one he got from the beautiful woman. With the iron ring he tied now, there were exactly ten in total, which also represented that Di Mu had killed ten pirates and criminals.
Before a day had passed, Di Mu had already completed ten kills. Although he was not far ahead of other students, he was definitely among the best.
After getting another iron ring, Di Mu rinsed the blood-red small sword in the water, and then prepared to leave and continue hunting.
Hiss, hiss, hiss～～!
Suddenly, a strong whistling sound caused by the cutting of the air came from far away and quickly swept towards Di Mu who had just stood up in the stream. It also made Di Mu’s face change and he quickly rushed to the side.

Chapter 12: Five Million Dollar Bounty (Old Version)
Boom~!
A loud bang was heard from the other side of the stream. A giant axe more than half a person’s height cut a huge gash in the ground on the shore, and even cracks were formed nearby.
“You are so brave, little brat. Do you know that I have been looking for this woman for a long time? It is so rare to find such a perfect woman. I wanted to vent my anger on her, but you killed me. Damn it!” A rough and brutal voice came from the place where the giant axe appeared. A burly man nearly three meters tall rushed towards the stream angrily and went straight towards Di Mu.
Di Mu looked at the giant man rushing towards him violently, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he faced him fearlessly, creating huge waves and rushing out of the stream directly, with the small sword slashing across swiftly.
“You dare to resist? Go to hell!” The burly man was furious. He took out a huge axe from behind and chopped directly at Di Mu.
Ding~bang~!
The small sword and the giant axe collided instantly, but just like Di Mu’s previous confrontation with the beautiful woman, Di Mu instantly felt a strong force coming at him, the soil under his feet sank, and he staggered back into the stream.
“What a powerful force!” Di Mu’s face changed slightly, and he quickly steadied his body. At the same time, he immediately jumped out of the stream and landed on the other side of the bank, looking at the burly man warily.
His Taoist power was at ninety-two, but he was still chopped away by the opponent. This was enough to prove that the burly man in front of him possessed Taoist power that surpassed his.
Di Mu almost subconsciously looked at the iron ring on the burly man’s arm. When the other party rushed into the stream, he also saw the number on the shaking iron ring. The number “fifty” was clearly engraved on it.
The number on the iron ring is ‘fifty’, which means that the bounty on the burly man is five million berries. According to the situation on the island described during the initial assessment, there is only one pirate on the entire island with a bounty of five million berries.
Di Mu reacted instantly and realized that the burly man in front of him was the person with the highest bounty in this assessment, and could even be said to be the strongest person.
Just when Di Mu recognized the burly man, the burly man crossed the stream and appeared beside the giant axe that had been thrown before. He then pulled it out of the ground, held the giant axe in both hands, and looked at Di Mu angrily.
“I’m going to chop you into meat paste!” The burly man glanced at the beautiful woman whose body was dismembered in the stream, and his rage grew even stronger. He roared and rushed towards Di Mu.
“I’ll kill you!” After realizing that the bounty on the burly man was five million Baileys, Di Mu was not afraid but became excited instead.
The pirates and criminals he encountered before were too weak and were killed by him in one fell swoop. Now he can finally show his manliness and have a tough fight with others.
Although the burly man is stronger than Di Mu, when the two of them rush towards each other, it can be seen that Di Mu is better in speed and explosive power.
Di Mu was like an agile cheetah. He rushed out quickly, came in front of the burly man, and was about to swing his sword.
The burly man let out a grim laugh, and suddenly stopped. He chopped down violently with his two-handed axes with the force of tearing the air, as if he wanted to chop Di Mu into pieces.
There was a gleam in Di Mu’s eyes, but he made a feint and twisted his body to the side, instantly avoiding the falling giant axe. Then, without any pause, he swung his sword towards the opponent’s waist.
“How dare you play dirty tricks, little brat!” The burly man was not as clumsy as he looked. When he noticed Di Mu’s actions, he was shocked and angry. The direction of the falling axe was forcibly changed, and it hit Di Mu horizontally like a door panel.
“Oh no!” Di Mu was shocked. His small sword was about to be hit by the huge axe before it could hit the opponent. He quickly raised his left arm to block it.
With a loud bang, Di Mu vomited blood and his body was directly knocked away by the giant axe. He even flew across the stream and landed on the other bank more than ten meters away. Then he fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The strong sound of air cutting appeared again. Di Mu, who felt like his whole body was about to fall apart, did not dare to stop for a moment. He quickly rolled on the ground. At the same time, the place where he was originally standing was split into a huge crack by the thrown giant axe.
“You’re dead, little brat!” An arrogant laugh came quickly. The burly man threw a huge axe, then violently crossed the stream, jumped high, and chopped down at Di Mu who stood up in a panic.
“Damn, so fierce!” Di Mu cursed in his heart, and at the same time rushed to the side to avoid it.
The giant axe split the ground into a huge crack again. The burly man fell to the ground, causing the ground to shake, showing how great the impact was.
However, the burly man didn’t care at all. Instead, he held the huge axe and roared and chased after Di Mu who was dodging. Every time he chopped, a whistling airflow would be generated. If someone was hit by it, the whole person would definitely be split in half.
Faced with the violent attack of the burly man, Di Mu relied on his small body and agility to dodge continuously, but he also lost the opportunity to counterattack.
“This is trouble. The opponent is obviously a tank-type warrior. If he continues, I’ll be dead if I’m a beat slow in reacting!” Di Mu felt solemn, but at the same time he quickly thought of a way to deal with the situation.
“Oh, I almost forgot that I am a man with a golden finger!” Suddenly, Di Mu’s heart moved, and he suddenly realized it, and his eyes immediately brightened up.
Once again avoiding the burly man’s violent slash, Di Mu suddenly stopped retreating and instead quickly approached the opponent. At the same time, he pushed his palm forward and a bright arc of electricity instantly burst out from his palm.
With a flash of lightning, one hundred and twenty volts of electric energy burst out from Di Mu’s palm and instantly hit the burly man’s body, causing lightning to flash on his body.
Although he had not yet learned the way of the sword, Di Mu’s mental strength was also increasing along with the growth of his body, but it was incredibly slow, taking half a year to increase the current by 20 volts.
Even though the burly man possessed extraordinary strength and physique, he was not immune to the energy of 120-volt electricity. When hit by the electric current, his body became paralyzed and he even began to twitch.
“Good opportunity!” Di Mu’s eyes flashed coldly, and he swung his sword the moment the opponent was paralyzed by the electric energy. The small sword flashed and cut across the opponent’s thigh.
(The third update is here, please support by collecting and rewarding!)
Chapter 13 Enhanced version of ‘Electrotherapy’ (old version)
It’s not that Di Mu doesn’t want to attack the opponent’s vital points, the problem is that he is less than 1.3 meters tall, and the height difference is a fatal flaw. At the critical moment, he can only attack the opponent’s thigh.
The knife flashed, and with the power of Di Mu’s ninety-two forces, the small sword showed a powerful edge. The sturdy man’s thigh was broken instantly, and blood spurted out.
The burly man screamed as his right leg was cut off. He suddenly lost his balance and fell to the side.
“Die!” When the burly man fell heavily to the ground, Di Mu did not hesitate at all. He slashed at the man’s neck with a knife. The blade immediately cut through the muscles and cervical vertebrae, and then hit the ground.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the sturdy man’s head was directly washed aside by his own blood and flew into the stream, right next to the body of the beautiful woman, as if to prove that even after death, his man’s desire had not dissipated.
Di Mu sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. It was indeed a dangerous job to fight hard. If he hadn’t paralyzed the opponent with electric energy in the end, he would have been killed.
“But the feeling of hard fight is really cool!” Di Mu grinned, very satisfied with the passionate feeling of life and death just now.
After resting for a while, Di Mu stood up, then cut off the burly man’s arm, took off the iron ring, and waited for fifty minutes.
“Including this, I have a total of eleven iron rings, which adds up to a total of seventy-two points. Hey, the first place in this assessment is mine again!” Di Mu grinned foolishly for a while, then put the small sword into the scabbard behind him, and then left staggeringly.
Di Mu was seriously injured when he was knocked away by the burly man with a huge axe. He even vomited blood. I’m afraid his internal organs were damaged.
It was only the first day of the assessment, and although he had already obtained a score high enough to get first place, Di Mu was not going to be careless and was going to find a place to recover from his injuries first.
While tracking pirates and criminals, Di Mu also took note of the environment of the places he passed by, and soon came to the edge of a cliff, where there was a bear cave.
Although there are many ferocious beasts living on this island, there are no giant beasts that are several meters or dozens of meters in size. They are all beasts of normal physique.
Although Di Mu was injured, it was still easy for him to kill a wild bear. Soon the bear cave changed hands, and even the original owner became Di Mu’s backup food.
“Damn, it stinks!” After dealing with the wild bear, Di Mu walked into the cave and was almost fainted by the smell inside.
It was so smelly. The wild bear obviously didn’t understand what hygiene was. It actually pooped everywhere in the cave, and the whole cave was filled with a strong smell of feces.
Di Mu had a gloomy face. He found some branches outside and used them as a broom. He cleaned up all the bear feces on the ground. Then he could only endure the shit and recover in the cave.
He could find some dry branches and use smoke to dispel the stench, but that would be equivalent to exposing the place. Being injured, Di Mu naturally had to be cautious.
The electric current energy shuttles through the cells, stimulating the activity of the cells in a special way, accelerating their self-healing process.
Di Mu was recovering from his injuries with enhanced electrotherapy. Like a quiet and handsome man, he leaned against the rock wall of the cave with melancholy.
After half a year, Di Mu’s development of the ‘Source of Electromagnetic Energy’ has become more in-depth, especially the electric current energy.
In the past, electrotherapy could only relieve muscle fatigue, but now, with Di Mu’s combination of ‘electrode strengthening’, the recovery ability of electrotherapy has become even better, and it can enhance the self-healing ability of cells by stimulating cell activity.
In other words, whether it is muscle fatigue or physical injury, electrotherapy can speed up one’s recovery.
With injuries like Di Mu’s current one, he can fully recover in at most one day with the help of electrotherapy.
However, it seemed as if Di Mu was destined not to be a quiet handsome man. Before the electrotherapy had even started, suddenly light footsteps were heard from outside the cave. Di Mu was awakened in an instant, and he stood up and looked towards the cave entrance warily.
“Hello, can I come in?” A timid and soft voice came from the cave entrance. Di Mu looked outside the cave in the setting sun and saw a girl with emerald green hair, a pretty face and a delicate body.
“You should also be a student of the base!” Di Mu said expressionlessly, his body hidden in the dim cave.
There was no iron ring on the other person’s hand, and most importantly, he had seen the other person during training at the base. Although they had never communicated, he knew that the other person was also one of the students.
“Yes, it’s getting dark soon. I wonder if I can stay there for a night!” the girl said pitifully. Her voice was soft and sticky. She was a perfect example of a loli and a killer of uncles.
“cannot!”
Unfortunately, even considering Di Mu’s age in his previous life, he was not considered an uncle, so he rejected the other party directly and decisively.
The girl’s face froze and she cursed in her heart. This bastard was so withdrawn and ignored everyone during training at the base. She acted so weak and yet he still didn’t give up his guard. How hateful.
“Really? I promise not to disturb you, and I can give you all the food I hunted during the day!” The girl refused to give up and begged.
“Oh?! Did you hunt a lot of food?” Di Mu’s voice came from the dim cave.
The girl was delighted that the other party had fallen into her trap. She did not notice the half-smile on Di Mu’s face in the dim light, otherwise she would never have thought so.
“It’s okay. I was lucky enough to hunt a wild boar during the day. It’s enough for food for the next three days!” The girl didn’t dare to show it too much and said embarrassedly.
There was no sound in the cave for a long time. Just when the girl was getting anxious, Di Mu, holding a small sword in his hand, slowly walked out of the dim cave, came to the entrance, and looked at the girl expressionlessly.
“Let’s go. If the wild boar you hunt is big enough, I will allow you to rest in the cave for one night!” Di Mu said coolly as if he was possessed by Uchiha Sasuke.
“Okay, okay, I’ll leave the wild boar outside the cave!” The girl saw Di Mu finally came out. While concealing her joy, she quickly left the cave and made a gesture behind Di Mu.
Chapter 14: First Place in Assessment (Old Version)
Di Mu followed the girl out of the cave as if without any precautions, and then he saw a wild boar of considerable size lying on the ground about ten meters outside the cave, with blood faintly flowing from its body, and it was obviously dead.
“Not bad, you are allowed to stay in the cave tonight!” Di Mu nodded coldly and walked towards the wild boar.
“Thank you very much!” The girl bowed in gratitude, but when Di Mu walked past her and headed towards the wild boar, she raised her body again. Her pure and innocent face was full of cruelty, and a dagger appeared in her hand. She walked silently and approached Di Mu from behind with excellent assassination skills.
Strange blood splashed, and the blade pierced through her abdomen. The girl looked at the expressionless Di Mu with disbelief and pain, still holding the dagger in her hand.
Just now, when the girl was about to stab Di Mu from behind, Di Mu suddenly turned around and stabbed the girl’s abdomen with the small sword, and the tip of the sword went straight through her back.
“Little sister, I can only give you a bad review for your acting skills!” Di Mu said regretfully, and at the same time quickly grabbed the other person’s shoulders and turned around to block him.
Almost in an instant, gunshots rang out from the nearby woods, and at the same time, a bloody hole caused by a bullet appeared on the back of the girl who was used as a shield by Di Mu.
Di Mu simply left the girl who was vomiting blood and screaming, and rushed out like a cheetah, rushing into the woods in a ‘Z’ trajectory. During this time, several gunshots were heard in succession, but none of them hit Di Mu whose trajectory kept changing.
But after a while, when Di Mu walked out of the woods, he was holding the body of another student from the base, and the girl had already died from excessive blood loss.
“Really? Instead of just hunting pirates and criminals, you want to take a shortcut. The most important thing is that you even dared to hit me on the head. You are simply courting death!” Di Mu threw the corpse in his hand next to the dead girl and said with a sneer.
As soon as the girl appeared, Di Mu saw the problem. After half a year of devilish training, which student would be so weak? And the expressions on her face were so rich. Did he really think she was still a poor student? The micro-expressions taught by the instructor were his favorite.
In short, Di Mu just used his acting skills as a movie emperor to cooperate with a student who just graduated from the performing arts academy, and gave the other party the cruelest reality when he was feeling complacent.
Di Mu bent down and collected all the iron rings on the two corpses, then returned to the cave. As for the corpses, he regarded them as a warning to people passing by, so that no more minions would bother him.
The girl and the student who acted as a sniper had obviously succeeded several times in dealing with Di Mu’s method, so that Di Mu suddenly added thirteen iron rings, adding up to twenty points.
After returning to the cave, Di Mu turned into a quiet and handsome man again and began electrotherapy recovery.
Three days later, on the shore of the island where they had landed three days ago, a group of students, looking murderous but disheveled and in tattered clothes, walked out of the forest.
Di Mu was also one of them, but his clothes were still relatively intact, except that they had changed from the original black to dark red. He exuded a strong smell of blood, which made the other students who survived avoid him with fear when they looked at him.
Di Mu was helpless. When he arrived on the island, the base did not prepare any spare clothes. Three days of fighting had left his clothes in this state.
“Get on board and hand in the iron rings you have obtained!” Carlod, who had been waiting on the shore, glanced at the more than 150 students left when the time was up, said this coldly, and returned to the boat.
The time for the assessment has arrived. Even if there are students on the island who have not returned in time, it is no longer important.
Following Carlod’s words, the ten instructors who accompanied him rushed into the island and started a bloodbath, turning the island into an uninhabited island again.
The CP base had no intention of letting the pirates and criminals on the island go. It was a pity that they were thinking that they could survive by killing the students, but they didn’t know that they would be massacred once the assessment was over.
The half-year assessment was successfully completed. Di Mu won the first place in the practical assessment with a total score of 251 points. Combined with the previous four assessments, he dominated the total score of this assessment with an absolute advantage!
The instructor at the base, or rather Carlod, was merciful for a rare moment. After the half-year assessment, the trainees were given a day of rest.
However, after returning to the base, Di Mu did not rest, but hurried to find Brady, and then looked at him with anticipation.
Brady was delighted and said with a smile: “You came here so impatiently, don’t you want to savor the honor of being the first in the assessment?”
Speaking of this, Brady was a little emotional. He did not expect that Di Mu could actually achieve this. Not only did he become the first in the assessment, but he also got first place in every assessment, completely crushing all the students of the same period.
“Let’s wait until later to reminisce about it. Instructor Brady, has the chief instructor agreed to let you teach me kendo?” Di Mu said nervously.
Under Di Mu’s close attention, Brady nodded with a smile.
“Your results in this half-year assessment are not just first, but are comparable to the results of all the previous students in the Four Seas and Grand Line headquarters. It’s even not much different from the strongest genius Rob Lucci who graduated from the headquarters three years ago. The chief instructor also values ​​you very much and quickly agreed when I proposed that you wanted to learn kendo!” Brady said.
Di Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally done. Next, he could finally learn swordsmanship and finally get a way to improve his mental strength.
“Instructor Brady, I’ll be in trouble for you in the future!” Di Mu said with a bow.
Brady waved his hand and said with a smile: “This is what you deserve. It is earned by your persistence and hard work in kendo. So do you want to start learning kendo now or wait until tomorrow!”
“Let’s start now!” Di Mu said without hesitation.
Brady nodded slightly, feeling satisfied with Di Mu’s impatience. If one wanted to learn kendo, one must have such enthusiasm and determination.
(There will be a third chapter around 2pm, please bookmark and give me a tip!)
Chapter 15 Three Years of Achievements (Old Version)
Next, Brady explained to Di Mu in more detail some things about kendo, the methods and key points of practice.
In addition to the kendo levels mentioned before, there are also methods for beginners to practice kendo, as well as the sword heart that Di Mu is most concerned about.
The first is the basic kendo training method. According to Brady’s explanation, a swordsman must not only have superb swordsmanship, but also have strong arm strength.
At the first level of swordsmanship, one cannot stimulate sword energy because he has not yet comprehended the realm of cutting iron. He can only use his powerful arm strength to draw airflow when cutting the sword, forming a sword wave similar to the Storm Kick slashing wave.
Being able to slash out sword waves means that a swordsman has reached the top level of the first class. Before that, he can only be considered a third-rate swordsman.
Of course, it is not enough to just exercise arm strength, otherwise it will cause the body to lack a sense of balance. Therefore, we can only say that we should focus on arm strength training rather than ignoring other exercises.
As for the sword heart, just as Brady said at the beginning, the swordsman needs to practice sword Zen and condense it, diffuse the consciousness in a meditative posture, eliminate distracting thoughts, and visualize the sword in his heart with his own understanding of kendo.
This is also the key to breaking through and surpassing the Iron-Cutting Realm. The deeper the visualization, the deeper the sword heart will be, and it will also make one’s own mental power stronger.
Of course, this is just a rough understanding. If one really wants to practice sword Zen and refine the sword heart, there are naturally more detailed training methods.
In the following days, in addition to continuing to complete various CP student training and “electrode strengthening”, the protagonist also practiced sword Zen every night. It can be said that every day is fully arranged, and he even wishes that even the most basic sleep time could be used as practice time.
The days passed one by one, and during this period there were several half-year assessments. In order to show his “talent”, Di Mu was unyielding and won the first place in the assessments.
At the same time, through the practice of sword Zen, although it was not very obvious at the beginning, as time went on, Di Mu was sure that refining the sword heart could indeed speed up the improvement of his mental power and allow the ‘electromagnetic source’ to produce greater energy.
At the same time, as the current energy generated by the ‘Electromagnetic Source’ became stronger, Di Mu’s ‘Electrode Strengthening’ effect was gradually improved, from the original four times to five times.
However, “electrode strengthening” cannot be improved infinitely. The stronger the physical fitness, the greater the current energy required to maintain several times the strengthening speed.
In the case that Di Mu needs to attend training during the day, leaving necessary time for sleep and rest, five times the “electrode strengthening” is already the limit, otherwise he will have no time to rest.
Before he knew it, two and a half years had passed, and Di Mu’s body had also reached the age of ten.
In the past two and a half years, he has passed four semi-annual assessments in a row, which makes him the absolute leader among all the students. He is also increasingly valued by the base and enjoys special treatment.
Under such circumstances, the sixth half-year assessment arrived on this day. At this time, after several life-and-death tests, only eighty-three students were left in the base.
Just like in the previous tests, Di Mu easily won the first place in the first three tests of speed, strength, and explosive power, and also showed amazing results.
In the fourth test of Dao Power, Di Mu, who was nearly 1.5 meters tall after adequate nutrition training, crushed the concrete floor with one foot and rushed out as if teleporting, just like in the first test when he turned around and kicked the instructor’s hands that were blocking in front of him.
There was a loud noise and a whistling airflow. The instructor’s legs dragged on the ground for half a meter. With an amazed expression on his face, he quickly calculated the power of the previous attack.
“Number 110, Taoist power 650!” After a while, the instructor announced loudly with some excitement.
“This person is indeed a monster!”
“Damn it! We are students of the same class, why is there such a big gap? I don’t even have 200 Dao Power!”
“The gap is too big. I’m afraid this person will be recruited into CP9 as soon as he graduates!”
The students and instructors who were watching from all sides immediately started shouting, and their exclamations were rising and falling.
Especially the students of the same class as Di Mu, they were full of awe when looking at the figure in the field that was not very tall but seemed unattainable.
“Only six hundred and fifty Dao forces? Although it should be higher if I use the Storm Kick, it’s really slow!” Di Mu twisted his neck, and after a crisp crackling sound, he turned around and walked back to the crowd with some disappointment.
To other students and instructors, reaching 650 Dao Power in just three years was astonishing and even terrifying.
However, for Di Mu, it is still far from enough. It is not that his Taoist power is not strong, but that it is improving too slowly.
In two and a half years under the five-fold ‘electrode strengthening’ effect, Di Mu was equivalent to other students practicing for twelve and a half years, but his Taoist power was only increased by 558. This was not an honor, but a shame.
Normal CP students will train in the base for six years, and the minimum standard for graduation is 300 Dao Power. Those with more than 500 Dao Power are eligible to enter the CP9 selection.
Combined with the fourfold strengthening effect in the first six months, Di Mu is equivalent to having practiced in the base for fourteen and a half years.
Di Mu once specifically asked Brady about Rob Lucci’s Dao power when he graduated. After six years of CP student training, the other party directly possessed a Dao power of 800.
Di Mu spent nearly two and a half times as much time as Rob Lucci, but his Taoist power was 150 points less than that of the other party. This is a shame.
After testing his Taoist power, Di Mu seemed very silent, but the students and instructors outside did not think much about it because they were used to Di Mu’s usual aloof nature.
Following the fourth test of power, the most brutal fifth test, actual combat, will soon begin.
“You have all been at the base for three years and have already spent half of your training time. This time the actual combat assessment will be different from the usual ones. Each of you will be assigned an assassination mission. Successful execution of the mission means passing the assessment!”
Two and a half years have passed, and Carlod’s hair has turned completely silver, but his cold and powerful aura has not diminished at all. After the current four assessments are completed, he issued the content of the fifth assessment.
(If you like this book, please bookmark it. If you think the book needs improvement, please leave your comments. I would also like to ask for a reward here!)
Chapter 16 Assassination Mission (Old Version)
One Piece: The Way of the Swordsman: Chapter 16 Assassination Mission Pictures and Text
In the previous six-month assessment, the fifth practical assessment was to go to an island and hunt down pirates and criminals captured on the island, but this time the assessment turned into a real assassination.
Di Mu reacted from the silence and looked at Carlod with some surprise as he issued the assessment task.
“Assassination? That’s right. The main responsibilities of the CP organization are espionage and assassination. The training is already halfway through, and it’s time to feel the responsibilities of the CP organization!” Di Mu’s heart moved slightly, but he soon regained his calm.
As the content of the assessment was announced, the instructors who had already prepared issued an assassination list to each student, which included the targets and locations of the assassinations as well as some basic intelligence.
“After receiving the assassination list, go and get ready. Gather in half a day. Each of you will be assigned a small boat. The assessment will begin from the moment you leave the island!” After Carlod briefly explained, he left.
Like other students, Di Mu returned to the dormitory to prepare for the next assassination.
Returning to the room where he had lived for three years, Di Mu changed into a clean set of clothes and picked up the scabbarded long sword that was leaning against the head of the bed.
The so-called sword in the One Piece world can also be said to be a knife, but the sword that Di Mu picked up was a real sword. After he had mastered the art of kendo, he specially asked Brady to go out to sea and find a blacksmith to customize it for him.
The sword is an eight-sided Han sword, three feet and six inches long, with double grooves on the blade and cloud patterns, dark in color, and the hilt is neatly wrapped with a black string.
After Di Mu got the sword, he named it “Moxue”. Although it cannot be called a famous sword in this world, it is also a rare good sword. At least Di Mu has always cherished it.
Facing the upcoming assassination test, Di Mu would naturally keep ‘Moxue’ by his side.
Because of his lack of height, Di Mu could only carry “Moxue” on his back like the ancient knights on Earth. Then he took the important things with him and left the dormitory, heading towards the gathering point.
Half a day later, all the students gathered together, and then, led by Carlod and the instructors, they arrived at the shore of the island.
At this time, eighty-three small boats had already been prepared on the shore. All the students, including Di Mu, boarded the small boats, preparing to carry out the first assassination.
Di Mu stood in the boat, turned around and looked deeply at Brady, who was also among the instructors and was much older than before. Then he resolutely raised the sail and sailed away with the wind and waves.
“Is this day finally here? Boy, you better work hard!” On the shore, Brady also noticed the look in Di Mu’s eyes before he left. After more than two years of getting along like a master and apprentice, he understood the meaning of Di Mu’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything, just smiled with relief.
Assassination target: Gustav’s family.
Location: Island Kingdom of Gondia.
Intelligence: Gustav is the leader of the kingdom’s rebels.
Sitting on the small boat, Di Mu recalled his task list. This time the target of assassination was the leader of a certain country’s rebel army, and he and his entire family must be killed.
“Since he is the leader of the rebels, he must have a good guard force. I just wonder if there are any experts!” Di Mu said in his heart.
The North Sea is not the weakest sea area like the East China Sea that has been cleared by the navy. On the contrary, among the four seas, it is among the top in terms of pirates and combat power.
Di Mu was not worried that the target’s guard was too strong and would cause the assassination mission to fail, but he was thinking that he had not encountered an equally powerful enemy for a long time, and he missed the exciting feeling of a tough fight.
A week later, Di Mu successfully landed on the small island of Gondia, and then staggered towards the country on the island like a traveler.
Three years of continued training not only gave Di Mu superhuman strength, but also enabled him to develop good sailing skills. Otherwise, how could he have accurately reached the mission location with just a small boat?
The sky gradually darkened and was soon shrouded in darkness. The moon was very round today. Outside a magnificent castle, three hundred fully armed soldiers with rifles were patrolling strictly.
“Tsk~ I thought the rebels were all simple and frugal, I didn’t expect them to be like this. It turns out to be just a power struggle!” On a high ground not far from the castle, Di Mu looked at the luxurious castle, curled his lips, and then jumped down from the high ground and headed towards the castle.
The luxurious castle was obviously built at a high price. Di Mu had already found out that his assassination target lived in this castle.
But it is obvious that this so-called hero who rose up against the king’s tyranny is not a good guy. The common people in the country are almost eating grass, but he lives in such a superior place.
Although the castle was guarded by three hundred soldiers, under the romance of a man, Di Mu, who was supposed to sneak in to assassinate, walked towards the castle in a swagger without concealing his figure at all.
“Who is it!” When Di Mu approached, more than a dozen soldiers guarding the castle’s silver-shining gate immediately raised their rifles in alert. At the same time, the soldier who seemed to be the captain started shouting at Di Mu.
“Kill your people!” Di Mu replied to the other party very bluntly. At the same time, his feet suddenly turned into afterimages and disappeared from more than 20 meters away in an instant.
Shave~!
With a flash of his figure, Di Mu, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared at the gate of the castle and came in front of more than a dozen soldiers.
Lanjiao~!
Without any pause, Di Mu turned around and kicked sideways. The terrifying force of his leg twisted the air and immediately turned into a five or six meter long azure blue slashing wave.
Screams and loud roars sounded almost at the same time, and several soldiers were torn in half. The metal gate behind them was also bent by the slashing wave and flew into the beautiful courtyard of the castle, creating a big hole.
“Enemy attack, shoot quickly!” It took almost an instant from Di Mu’s attack to the gate being knocked away. Those soldiers who were not caught up in the slashing wave screamed and shot at Di Mu at the same time.
Paper painting~!
Seven or eight bullets came at him as fast as lightning, but Di Mu’s body seemed to have no bones and he easily avoided the bullets in an incredible manner.
“The killing has begun!” Di Mu smiled lightly, with a terrifying cold light flashing in his eyes. He directly pulled out the ‘Moxue’ behind him and instantly rushed towards the soldiers around him.
The sword swung and slashed, and the two soldiers who were closer were cut in half. Blood spurted into the sky, but this was just the beginning.
(‘Ink Blood’ is roughly the same as the uploaded picture, so just use it as a reference!)
Chapter 17: Navy Six Styles and Kendo (Old Version)
Di Mu was like a ghost, moving through the crowd like lightning, and his “Ink Blood” was emitting cold rays of light, constantly cutting off the soldiers wherever he passed.
In less than five seconds, the only seven or eight remaining soldiers were reduced to chopped pieces on the ground. However, the shouting just now also alarmed soldiers in other areas, and the noisy footsteps were rapidly approaching the gate.
“Well, it looks like I can kill enough this time!” Di Mu casually threw away the blood stained by ‘Ink Blood’ and slowly walked into the courtyard of the castle.
When Di Mu walked into the courtyard, the soldiers around him also went to the gate. Then, after seeing the corpses all over the ground and the destroyed gate, they immediately looked at Di Mu in the courtyard with shock and anger.
“He is the enemy, kill him!”
“Shoot and kill him. Lord Gustav will surely reward you handsomely!”
“……!”
The sounds of greed and anger continued to ring out, and all the soldiers rushed into the courtyard, perhaps shooting, or waving swords in their hands and rushing towards Di Mu.
The killing really started at this time. Facing the siege of nearly three hundred soldiers, Di Mu not only did not show any fear, but was excited. He raised the “Ink Blood” in his hand and rushed into the crowd.
In the first three years, CP students only receive basic physical training and knowledge transfer. Only in the last three years, when their physical fitness meets the standards, will they begin to learn the CP organization’s most important six naval styles.
But there are exceptions to everything. For some outstanding students, the base will consider teaching the Six Navy Styles in advance.
Just like Di Mu, because his physical fitness reached the standard early, and the speed of improving his Taoist power even surpassed Rob Lucci, the former record holder, so he had already been taught the Six Navy Styles.
Starting from the second year at the base, Di Mu began to learn the Six Navy Styles, and when he asked Brady for advice on kendo, he would also ask about the key points of the Six Navy Styles.
It took two years, and with Brady’s generous teaching and Di Mu’s eagerness to learn and improvement of his Tao power, his understanding and mastery of the Six Navy Styles have now reached a good level, and he can perform them without any pressure.
In addition to the Six Navy Styles, Di Mu has reached the top level of the first class after two and a half years of kendo training with his strong physical foundation.
At this time, as the fight with the soldiers began, Di Mu turned into a killing machine. Every part of his body could burst out with deadly killing power, especially the “Ink Blood” in his hand, which meant death if anyone touched it, and they would be directly cut in half.
With one kick, the force of more than 600 Dao instantly blasted a soldier in front of him away, and even knocked more than a dozen soldiers behind him, causing them to break bones and tendons, spit blood and fly everywhere.
In just ten minutes, the courtyard had turned into a horrific scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with bodies everywhere on the ground. Only less than twenty people were left out of the original nearly three hundred soldiers.
“It seems that you have no masters now, so just die!” Di Mu looked disappointed, looking at the more than 20 soldiers who wanted to retreat in fear because of the bloody killing just now, and raised “Moxue” slightly, and then slashed out horizontally.
The sword’s edge cut through the air, stirring up a terrifying wave of air. A sword wave that was more than ten meters long whizzed out and instantly cut through the bodies of all the remaining soldiers, and finally struck the wall on one side of the courtyard.
The wall shook violently, and a huge crack as wide as an arm appeared. The twenty-odd soldiers were all chopped off with a loud bang. Large amounts of blood gushed out, making the neatly trimmed grass in the courtyard even more blood-red.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one standing, Di Mu walked towards the castle holding the “Ink Blood” that was still dripping with blood.
The second gate of the castle was kicked away by Di Mu just like the first gate, and it crashed directly into the magnificent hall in the castle.
When Di Mu walked into the hall, he immediately saw a slightly plump man standing in the hall. He was a little old but well-dressed, with jewel rings on both his hands.
Di Mu had previously investigated the appearance of the targets of the mission in this country, so he could tell at a glance that the slightly plump man was the assassination target Gustav.
“Wow, you’re quite brave. I thought you had run away!” Di Mu whistled and walked towards the other person.
“Stop it, no matter why you came here, or who instructed you to do so, as long as you let me go, I will give you half of my wealth!” The chubby man’s legs were shaking a little, but he forced himself to negotiate.
The answer to the slightly plump man was the sharp “ink blood”. Di Mu walked up to the other party, without any pause, and slashed with a sword, cutting off the slightly plump man’s neck.
A head flew up with a look of disbelief on its face, and then rolled to the corner of the hall.
“Well, if I remember correctly, the other party should have a wife and a daughter. Let’s look for them first!” Di Mu touched his chin, and then walked up the wide stairs to the second floor.
The rooms were opened one by one and searched. When Di Mu arrived at the door of one of the rooms, he pushed it and found that it was locked.
Di Mu grinned. This told him that there was someone inside. He raised his right foot and kicked it out.
Boom~bang~!
The door broke into scattered wooden boards, and gunshots were heard in the room almost at the same time. Unfortunately, Di Mu would not make low-level mistakes. He easily dodged the bullet with paper and it shot into the wall behind him.
Di Mu strode into the room and immediately saw that the room was pink. Everywhere he looked, there were pink objects, even the walls.
This should be the daughter’s room. Di Mu immediately determined the information in his mind. At the same time, he also saw a beautiful woman in the room with trembling hands and holding a pistol.
The woman looked to be in her thirties. She was not only beautiful but also had a good figure. Her breasts were plump and she was wearing a bright red long dress that showed off her beautiful figure to the fullest.
“Leave now, I’ll shoot if you don’t let me!” The beautiful woman screamed at Di Mu who walked into the room.
“Didn’t you just shoot?” Di Mu looked at the other party with complaints, and at the same time raised the ‘Moxue’ in his hand, ready to kill the other party.
After seeing the other person’s appearance, he knew that she was the slightly fat man’s wife, and naturally he would not let her go.
(As usual, there will be a third chapter at 2pm. Please add me to your collections, give me flowers, and give me rewards!)
Chapter 18: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty (Old Version)
“Wow~!”
Suddenly, a baby crying sound was heard from the room. Di Mu was startled and turned to look at the source of the sound. Then he saw a crib with a baby wearing a pink sleeping bag lying on it.
The beautiful woman who had been looking at Di Mu nervously was suddenly shocked when she saw Di Mu looking at her daughter. She quickly stood in front of the crib and looked at Di Mu with horror.
“Please let my daughter go. Even if you want to kill me, the child is innocent!” the beautiful woman cried out with a pleading look on her face.
Di Mu remained silent, not only because of the beautiful woman’s words, but also because of shame.
“It’s true that empiricism is killing me. Damn it. I just analyzed with confidence that the owner of the room was the daughter of the target, but it turned out to be just a baby. The decoration here must have been arranged by the woman in front of me. Alas, no, it can’t be said that my judgment was wrong. This is indeed the room of the other party’s daughter!” Di Mu found an excuse for himself in the end to cover up his embarrassment.
“Well, don’t say such stupid things. I am a professional assassination agent. If the mission says to kill your whole family, then I will definitely kill your whole family!” Di Mu said righteously.
Di Mu subconsciously forgot that the professional assassin he mentioned had fought against three hundred soldiers for the so-called man’s romance. He did not have the mysterious and elusive posture that an assassin should have. Instead, he was full of the passion of a middle school student.
Hearing Di Mu’s firm words, despair appeared on the beautiful woman’s face. Her legs went limp and she knelt down on the ground. The gun in her hand also fell to the ground.
She knew that anyone who could break in here could not be defeated with just a gun, the result of the shooting when he broke in had already proved this.
However, the crying of the baby behind her was getting louder and louder. The beautiful woman was shocked and her despair was immediately dispelled. She felt strong in her heart. She would never sit and watch her innocent daughter die.
“As long as you are willing to let my daughter go, I will tell you the location of the vault in the castle, and you can take all the money in it!” The beautiful woman raised her head and looked at Di Mu without giving up.
“I’m sorry, just now your husband said he wanted to give me half of my property, but I killed him!” Di Mu said expressionlessly.
If it weren’t for the fact that this angle just happened to allow him to see the beautiful scenery exposed by the other person’s skirt neckline, he would have wanted to admire it for a while longer. Otherwise, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other person and would have started killing her long ago.
Being rejected by Di Mu again, the beautiful woman became even more anxious. Suddenly, she noticed that although Di Mu had an expressionless face, his eyes were staring straight ahead at her.
The beautiful woman looked down and her eyes suddenly lit up. If it were normal times, after being exposed, the woman would definitely cover it up in panic, but now.
The beautiful woman did something that surprised Di Mu. She suddenly grabbed the hem of her skirt, then stood up and quickly took off her red dress.
It was obvious that the beautiful woman had just taken a shower. Not only did she exude a faint fragrance, but she was also not wearing anything under her red dress. She stood naked in front of Di Mu.
“Apart from money, all I have left is my body. If you can let my daughter go, you can play with my body as you please, even if you want me to be your slave!” said the beautiful woman with determination in her eyes.
Di Mu narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt that the other person was so dazzling. It was not because the scenery was too good, but because he seemed to see a dazzling maternal love emanating from the other person.
Di Mu, whose worldview had been distorted, suddenly felt a little palpitated. He stared blankly at the other person’s clear sapphire eyes, and did not see any treachery or conspiracy in them.
“Are you really willing to give everything for your daughter?!” After a moment of silence, Di Mu said in a low voice.
“Yes, I can dedicate everything I have to you, but my daughter must not die in ignorance before experiencing the beauty of this world!” The beautiful woman said firmly without hesitation.
Di Mu lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice: “I understand. Your daughter doesn’t have to die. Your motherly love has given your daughter the right to live!”
After he finished speaking, Di Mu swung the ‘Moxue’ in his hand and directly killed the beautiful woman whose face showed relief and joy. But even in death, the beautiful woman still had a happy smile on her face.
“Mother’s love? What a great word. I didn’t expect that even after understanding the saying ‘weakness is a sin’, I still couldn’t be truly cold-blooded in the end!” Di Mu murmured, but he also revealed a smile.
Perhaps it is better to retain a trace of truth, goodness and beauty in one’s heart than to fall completely into darkness, Di Mu thought with a little warmth in his heart.
Picking up the still crying baby, Di Mu left the room carrying the sheathed “Moxue” and then walked out of the castle.
“I almost forgot!” But before he walked out of the castle gate, Di Mu, who was holding the baby in one hand, slapped his forehead, turned around and ran into the castle.
After a long time, when Di Mu appeared again, in addition to still holding the baby in his arms, there was a large bag behind him that was taller than himself. One could even faintly see gold shining from the opening of the package.
Di Mu suddenly returned to the castle for no other reason than the treasury that the beautiful woman had just mentioned. Although he did not like money very much, he would spend a lot of money in the following days.
After looting the castle treasury, Di Mu acted as a temporary nanny and left happily.
War is cruel and will also lead to the emergence of a large number of orphans. In such circumstances, some kind-hearted people will adopt some orphans or set up orphan shelters.
Of course, it was impossible for Di Mu to be a nanny forever. After paying some treasures, he sent the daughter of that beautiful woman with brilliant maternal love to a family willing to adopt her.
Of course, in order to make sure that this family was not the kind of mean people who would abuse a baby, Di Mu secretly observed for a while and demonstrated his superhuman strength as a double guarantee.
After the baby’s problem was solved, Di Mu was relieved and left the town with the remaining treasures, preparing to head towards the boat docked on the shore.
However, just as he walked out of the town, Di Mu suddenly stopped. Not far in front of him, a man in a suit was looking at him coldly.
“No. 110, go back and kill that kid, otherwise you will be judged as having failed this assassination test!” the man in the suit said coldly.
(Please collect, give flowers, and reward!!!)
Chapter 19: Students vs Instructors (Old Version)
As the most outstanding student in the base and the student who broke the strongest record in the history of CP organization students, he will naturally receive special attention and importance from the base.
The man in the suit is one of the instructors at the base where Di Mu is located. He is also the person who has been ordered to secretly monitor Di Mu.
Ever since Di Mu left the base, the man in the suit has been following Di Mu secretly, and even hid nearby when Di Mu was carrying out assassinations.
What the man in the suit didn’t expect was that Di Mu, who had always had the potential to be an excellent agent, would actually show inappropriate mercy during the assassination. That was why he came out from the darkness and warned Di Mu.
In response to the appearance and warning of the man in the suit, Di Mu sighed and said seriously: “It’s okay if you fail. Look, my assassination is over. Isn’t it time for you to go back to the base?”
As an outstanding student, Di Mu is not only far superior to other students in strength, but also in other aspects. In fact, he had already discovered the man in the suit using anti-tracking techniques, but he had never exposed him.
The man in the suit frowned. Seeing that Di Mu didn’t care about the failure of the assessment, he was about to walk past Di Mu and head towards the town.
Suddenly, Di Mu raised his arm to block the man in a suit who was about to walk past him, and turned to look at him expressionlessly.
“What do you want to do!”
“Complete your unfinished task. Although this assassination mission is an assessment for you students, it is also a task assigned by the organization. Since you failed, it can only be completed by me, a formal CP member!” The man in the suit stopped and said to Di Mu with disdain.
No matter how talented one is, according to the purpose of the CP organization, anyone who cannot complete the mission is a waste. The man in the suit thought that Di Mu would become a supernova of the CP organization like Rob Lucci, but now it seems that he is just a waste after all.
Di Mu looked at the other person expressionlessly, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, a very cold smile.
“Go back to the base, I will protect the baby, unless you want to die here!” A cold voice came out of Di Mu’s mouth, which was also full of strength.
“Are you threatening me?” The man in the suit took a few steps back, put some distance between himself and Di Mu, and said with a sneer.
“You can understand it this way, so what is your answer?” Di Mu said lightly.
“Interesting. You don’t think that just because you are ahead of other students you can compete with us instructors, do you?” The man in the suit laughed angrily.
Di Mu couldn’t deny it. He naturally knew that the instructors assigned to the training base, except for retired veteran CP members like Brady, the others were also the elite of the CP organization.
The instructor in front of him was the latter. His Taoist power was as high as 800. Even if he joined CP9, he could not be considered a weakling. That was why he found Di Mu’s threat ridiculous.
Di Mu’s Dao power had already been known to all the instructors in the base. He had a Dao power of 650, but the man in the suit had a Dao power of 800. With a difference of 150 Dao powers, it was enough to create an absolute advantage.
“You’ll know if you try it!” Di Mu grinned, took off the huge package on his back and threw it far away, then his right hand immediately grasped the hilt of the ‘Moxue’ sword behind him.
“No. 110, don’t be so arrogant. Today I will let you feel the gap between CP students and CP official members!” The man in the suit shouted angrily, and in an instant he rushed towards Di Mu like lightning, and his right index finger pierced out like an iron spear.
Finger gun~!
His fingers were as fast as bullets and as hard as steel. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Di Mu.
The sword light leaped out, and the finger gun was blocked by the sword blade of “Moxue”. The two collided violently in an instant, causing ripples in the nearby air.
Di Mu bent his legs and slid backwards more than half a meter, but after blocking the pointing gun from the man in the suit, he kicked out sideways in an instant.
A fierce azure slashing wave whizzed out, and the man in the suit instantly leaped high into the air to avoid it. At the same time, he used the Moon Step with both feet, stepped on the air a few times, and pounced fiercely at Di Mu from above.
“Paper painting~!” Di Mu’s eyes flashed, and his body suddenly twisted softly as if he had no bones. He also dodged the finger guns that were continuously stabbed out by the opponent’s hands like lightning.
The man in the suit is undoubtedly also proficient in the Six Navy Styles, and with his stronger Taoist power, the power of the Six Navy Styles is also greater than that of Di Mu.
However, Di Mu knew more than just the Six Navy Styles. He also knew swordsmanship. When he was dodging flexibly, he pressed his wrist, and the “Ink Blood” suddenly cut out a dazzling edge, slashing towards the neck of the man in the suit like a stream of light.
The man in the suit’s face changed slightly, and he quickly used Paper Painting to dodge. The edge of the sword flashed past him, and a sharp sword wave burst out, rushing straight to more than ten meters away, and the twisted air whistled and vibrated.
“This kid’s swordsmanship is so powerful!” The man in the suit used the shaving technique to retreat more than ten meters away in a flash. Seeing the dissipated sword wave, he was shocked and confused.
The instructors in the base naturally knew that Di Mu was learning kendo, but except Brady, no one in the base knew that Di Mu had reached the top level of the first class in just two and a half years and could already create sword waves.
With the sword technique of slashing sword waves, Di Mu’s strength is obviously not something that can be judged by just the power of Taoism. After the man in the suit noticed this, he couldn’t help but become nervous.
“Instructor, now is not the time to be distracted!” Suddenly, Di Mu’s voice sounded from beside the instructor. Di Mu used the shave when the man in the suit was paying attention to Jian Bo, and appeared beside the other party in a flash.
“Oh no, a piece of iron!” The man in the suit’s face changed drastically, and his muscles expanded and contracted instantly, making his body like steel.
The sword was whistling, Di Mu held the sword with both hands, and slashed the neck of the man in the suit with tremendous force. The powerful slashing force made it difficult for the man in the suit to resist even the iron block. The sword blade directly cut a bloody gash, and blood flowed out instantly.
The man in the suit used the force of the slash to rush to the side in embarrassment, and quickly covered his bleeding neck, looking at Di Mu in shock and anger.
“Tsk! It didn’t cut it off!” Di Mu curled his lips in disappointment, somewhat dissatisfied with the previous attack he made.
Chapter 20 Current Mode (Old Version)
Although the blow was powerful due to his strong arm strength, it still lacked the sharpness it should have. If Di Mu had already reached the level of iron-cutting, then even if the strength was reduced by half, it would have been enough to cut the neck of the man in the suit.
“Little brat, you made me mad!” The injured man in the suit was like an angry lion. He leaped up and used the Storm Kick, launching a huge slashing wave towards Di Mu.
Di Muyishen shouted in a low voice, his body was steady, and he held the “Moxue” in both hands and slashed forward like he was about to split Mount Hua, and a sharp sword wave also burst out.
The slashing wave and the sword wave collided violently in an instant, and a huge sound wave echoed, stirring up a strong whirlwind, and a small dent was blown out on the mud ground.
With a slash of sword, Di Mu rushed out in a flash, his body almost level with the ground, the sword moving with his body, and he swung the sword horizontally at the man in the suit under the momentum.
After feeling the sharpness of Di Mu’s swordsmanship, the man in the suit naturally did not dare to confront him head-on. He immediately used Paper Painting, using the airflow created by the sword blade to flexibly avoid it. At the same time, he took the opportunity to use the finger gun to stab Di Mu’s head.
But Di Mu was not bad either. He used Paper Painting to dodge the attack, and then turned around and slashed at the opponent’s neck again.
The two of them fought back and forth, each showing off their superb Navy Six Styles and Kendo. With Zhihui’s powerful dodging ability, it was almost difficult for either to hurt the other.
Di Mu was concerned that with the Six Navy Styles combined with swordsmanship, his strength was no less than that of the man in the suit who was stronger than himself, which made the man in the suit gradually anxious.
His neck was cut by Di Mu. Although the wound was sealed by tightening his muscles, it was only barely suppressed. After a long time, it would split again, and he would definitely be at a disadvantage after losing too much blood.
Compared to the anxiety of the man in the suit, Di Mu was much calmer, even a little excited. The master he expected did not show up during the previous assassination, and now fighting with the instructor of the base undoubtedly made him feel the passion of hard fighting again.
“I just developed that move but never tried it out. This is a good time to test it!” As the battle became more and more intense, Di Mu became excited and started to get ready to move.
Di Mu suddenly flashed back and appeared more than ten meters away. The man in the suit did not chase him, but looked at Di Mu vigilantly.
With a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes, a strong electric current suddenly flashed across Di Mu’s body, and at the same time every cell in his body became abnormally active.
‘Current Mode’ is a move developed by Di Mu in the last two and a half years at the base. It is similar to ‘Electrode Strengthening’, but it does not strengthen cells. Instead, it stimulates cell activity through electric current overload.
In the ‘electric current mode’, Di Mu’s cells will become extremely active beyond their limit. Although it cannot last long, it can greatly improve his physical fitness.
The man in the suit was shocked when he saw the sudden flash of electricity on Di Mu’s body, but before he could come to his senses, Di Mu had already exploded.
Just like real lightning, in the ‘electric current mode’, Di Mu shot out at a speed faster than the previous shaving, and appeared in front of the man in the suit in the blink of an eye, and even saw the astonishment on the other’s face that had not yet disappeared.
The ‘Ink Blood’, which was also flashing with electric light in the ‘Electric Current Mode’, was suddenly swung by Di Mu, and slashed towards the opponent’s chest like lightning.
“Not good!” The man in the suit just reacted at this time. When he saw the electric sword blade falling on his chest, he hurriedly used the iron block to make the muscles all over his body expand and contract.
The man in the suit had a dull look in his eyes, and the “ink blood” flashing with lightning instantly crossed his chest, and at the same time a bloody seam with a burn mark appeared on his body.
The bodies were intertwined, and the man in the suit had an unbelievable look on his face. His upper body slid down diagonally above the bloody seam and fell weakly to the ground. It turned out that his body was cut in half by Di Mu’s sword, and he died in despair.
After putting away the still flashing “Ink Blood”, Di Mu looked at the man in a suit who died after being chopped off by him with some surprise.
“It seems that there is something wrong in the calculation. After being attached with electric current, the sharpness of ‘Ink Blood’ is even higher than expected!” Di Mu thought thoughtfully.
The ‘Electric Current Mode’ will not only greatly improve Di Mu’s physical fitness, but will also increase the sharpness of the sword blade surrounded by electric current.
Di Mu originally just wanted to test the effect of the ‘electric current mode’, but he didn’t expect that he would kill the man in a suit who had been fighting with him for a long time in just one sword.
Faced with such a situation, Di Mu was both happy and disappointed. He was happy because the ‘electric current mode’ was more effective than he had imagined, but he was disappointed because he had just gotten excited, but the enemy had already fallen, leaving him with a miserable experience.
“Forget it. There are plenty of masters on the sea anyway. I’ll look for them slowly later!” Di Mu’s disappointment was quickly dispelled, and then he canceled the ‘electric current mode’.
When the electric current on his body disappeared, Di Mu moved his sore body.
Although the ‘current mode’ has amazing effects, it has one disadvantage. Because it overloads and stimulates cell activity, it can also cause damage to cells. Over time, it can even cause the body to collapse. This is why the ‘current mode’ cannot last for too long.
Di Mu only used it for a short while, but some damage occurred to the cells in his body. Although it was not serious, it did cause soreness.
Fortunately, because the ‘current mode’ lasts for a very short time, the soreness subsides after a short rest.
After Di Mu wiped off the bloodstained “ink blood”, he found the package that had been thrown away before and went straight to the shore of the boat.
Although killing the instructor of the base was an accident, Di Mu had decided not to go back when he left the base.
After discovering that his growth rate was too slow when testing his Taoist power, Di Mu understood that the training at the base could no longer bring him much growth, but would only hinder his growth.
He is no longer the man who had difficulty persisting in training. On the contrary, after learning kendo and refining his swordsmanship, his mental strength has increased rapidly.
(There is another one around 2pm. If you think it is good, please support it by collecting it and giving flowers. Of course, it would be even better if you can give me a reward!)
Chapter 21: Forging a New Sword (Please collect and reward!) (Old version)
With Di Mu’s current mental strength, even if the current intensity is increased, five times the ‘electrode strengthening’ is not the limit at all. If he has more time, the number of ‘electrode strengthening’ can definitely be increased.
Because of this, Di Mu thought of leaving the base. Training during the day was too much of a waste of time for him. He could use this time to do more ‘electrode strengthening’ and practice kendo instead of squeezing out a little time every night.
When Di Mu looked at Brady for the last time, he was actually saying goodbye to Brady, and Brady also understood that Di Mu might never come back after leaving this time.
However, in two and a half years, Di Mu and Brady have formed a master-disciple relationship. Even though it violates the iron rule of the CP organization, Brady still acquiesced to it.
‘What reason can stop a man’s ambition?’ This is what Brady thought in his mind.
Carrying so much treasure that almost sank the boat, Di Mu left and set sail towards his ambition.
“The situation has been confirmed, Osmond is dead, and it can be preliminarily determined that No. 110 has betrayed the organization!” A few days later, next to a decayed corpse, two men in black suits reported using Den Den Mushi.
The corpse was exactly the instructor who was killed by Di Mu, and the other two were obviously also CP members, and they were also instructors at the Beihai base.
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the Den Den Mushi, and then Carlod’s cold voice rang out: “Track down No. 110 with all your strength. Once you find him, kill him if he resists!”
The best student in the base rebelled, which was absolutely unacceptable to the chief instructor Carlod, and such a traitor would be of no use no matter how outstanding he was.
After discovering that the instructor in charge of supervising Di Mu had lost contact, Carlod sent people from the base to investigate, but the result was the worst.
From that day on, the news of Di Mu’s betrayal spread throughout the CP organization and was even known to the World Government. It was because his previous performance was so outstanding that it attracted the attention of the top leaders of the CP organization and even the World Government.
Palmela Island is a very ordinary island in the North Sea, with an ordinary town, ordinary people, and nothing special.
After sailing on the sea for more than ten days, Di Mu arrived at Palmera Island. Then, after taking the bag full of treasures, he abandoned the small boat and headed directly for the town on the island.
“It should be here. I hope the other party hasn’t changed the address!” Di Mu walked on the street and finally came to a very ordinary iron shop. The sound of metal being knocked and waves of heat were constantly coming out of it.
After Di Mu looked up and made sure that he was in the right place, he walked straight in. He then saw a furnace burning inside and a middle-aged man holding a hammer and forging a kitchen knife.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the middle-aged man stopped hitting the red-hot kitchen knife and looked at Di Mu who was approaching with some confusion.
“Kid?! What are you doing here? Are you here to buy some kitchen utensils for your family?” asked the middle-aged man.
“No, I’m here to ask you to forge a sword!” Di Mu put down the package and said straightforwardly.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, “You’ve got the wrong person. I only forge kitchen utensils here. If you want to forge swords, go to the weapon shop on the next street. There you have a specialized blacksmith to help people with weapons!”
“I didn’t find the wrong person. I’m looking for you, Mark, who inherited the excellent casting technology and whose ancestors once made one of the best and fastest swords!” Di Mu looked at the other party calmly.
The middle-aged man, or Mark in Di Mu’s words, looked at Di Mu in doubt, and then said bitterly: “Although I don’t know where you heard this, I am just a blacksmith who casts kitchen utensils. You should find someone else!”
“I said, I’m here to ask you to forge a sword. I will pay you all the money I owe you because I believe you are the blacksmith with the best forging technology in the North Sea!” Di Mu said seriously.
In the knowledge learning at the base, various occupations had been explained, and Di Mu knew from them that the middle-aged man in front of him was a once famous blacksmith.
However, perhaps his ancestors had once forged a good and sharp sword, so in order to prove that he was not inferior to his ancestors or even surpassed them, the other party spent all his family wealth to forge a famous sword.
But the result was as expected. The knife was indeed forged, but it was not a good and sharp knife.
It was undoubtedly a huge blow to him after spending all his family wealth but failing to forge the famous sword he had hoped for. And because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After suffering a huge blow, the middle-aged man secluded himself in this ordinary town and made a living by making kitchen utensils for others.
Although Di Mu’s “Moxue” is also an excellent weapon, it is far from enough to be excellent. As a swordsman, it is absolutely crucial to have a good sword. That is why he found this place.
Hearing Di Mu’s words, Mark’s eyes were a little dazed. He once thought that he was the best blacksmith in the North Sea, but because he was too confident, he ended up making a fool of himself.
“Do you really believe that I am the best blacksmith in the North Sea!” Mark said hesitantly.
“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have found this place, and I also brought you a very good sword-making ore!” Di Mu smiled slightly, then put down the package on his back, and found a piece of dark metal larger than an adult’s fist from the gold and silver treasures.
“What is this?!” Mark was shocked when he saw the dark metal in Di Mu’s hand. He hurried over and stared at it intently.
“It seems that you are familiar with this metal, so you must also know that it is a very good material for making swords!” Di Mu said with a smile.
Relying on the complex knowledge learned in the base, Di Mu knew that the dark metal in his hand was called obsidian, a very rare and precious mineral among sword-making materials.
But in fact, getting the obsidian crystal was an accident. It was found among the treasures when Di Mu was exploring the castle treasury. It was after recognizing the obsidian crystal that he came up with the idea of ​​forging a better sword.
“I didn’t expect you to have obsidian crystal. This is really surprising!” said the middle-aged man excitedly.
(I typed too much and was half an hour late!)
Chapter 22: Ten Days (Old Version)
“So are you willing to forge a sword for me now? Use this obsidian crystal to make a good sword with your own hands!” Di Mu looked at the other party with interest.
Sure enough, for a blacksmith, excellent ore is the biggest temptation. The man in front of him almost stared at him when he took out the obsidian crystal.
Mark swallowed his saliva, raised his face reluctantly, and then said seriously: “Since you can use obsidian crystal to forge a sword, I think I have no reason to refuse you. But I still want to remind you that if you ask those real swordsmiths to forge it, the material of obsidian crystal itself can be used to forge a good or even a big sword, but I don’t have this ability!”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m not leaving Beihai for the time being. You are the best blacksmith in Beihai, so just focus on casting it!” Di Mu said with a smile.
Mark nodded heavily, then took the obsidian crystal from Di Mu’s hand, obviously agreeing to help Di Mu forge the sword.
“By the way, when you forge the sword, just make it according to the model of this sword. If possible, melt this sword into the new sword!” Di Mu pulled out the ‘Ink Blood’ behind him and easily inserted it into the floor, and said to the other party.
“No problem!” Mark nodded. He also realized that ‘Moxue’ itself was a well-made sword, and its materials were all top-grade.
After leaving ‘Moxue’, Di Mu agreed with Mark on the delivery date and cost of ten days, and then left directly.
He was not afraid that the other party would go back on his word or run away with the obsidian crystal. As long as the other party did not leave the island, he would rely on his excellent tracking skills to find the other party. Before leaving, he also intimidated the other party by crushing a piece of raw iron.
After leaving the shop, Di Mu went to the Bailey Exchange in the small town and exchanged all his treasures directly for cash Bailey.
There are no bank cards in the world of One Piece, so naturally there are no real banks.
The so-called Bailey Exchange is actually the place where Nami and others in the original work exchanged Sky Island gold for Bailey, which is similar to a pawn shop.
Guests can exchange their precious treasures for an equivalent amount of Bailey from the exchange. Of course, if you don’t understand the goods, you will definitely be ripped off.
Di Mu was certainly not a fat sheep. After three years of education at the base, he already had a detailed concept of the value of items in this world. When he came out of the exchange, he had two black suitcases filled with 200 million Baileys.
Afterwards, Di Mu took Bailey to the shipyard in the town and spent 20 million to buy a small sailboat with complete facilities and excellent workmanship.
It is impossible to sail on the sea without a good ship. Although the small sailboat purchased by Di Mu is slightly smaller than the Golden Merry, it is more exquisite and has higher maneuverability.
During the next ten days of waiting for the new sword to be forged, Di Mu spent some money to hire a group of people to transport the supplies purchased on the island to the ship in preparation for going to sea.
Ten days later, Di Mu came to Mark’s shop again. When he arrived, Mark looked tired, but his face was full of excitement and nostalgia as he waited in the shop.
“You are here. I have already forged the sword. Check it out and see if you are satisfied with it!” When Mark saw Di Mu coming, he hurriedly took out a long sword that was all dark in color, including its scabbard, from the back hall of the shop.
“Let me see!” Di Mu’s eyes lit up and he took it immediately. Then he grasped the hilt which was exactly the same as the previous ‘Moxue’ and slowly pulled out the blade.
A dark cold light emerged, and as Di Mu drew out the sword, soon an eight-sided Han sword that was three feet and six inches long appeared in front of Di Mu.
The new sword is exactly the same as the previous ‘Moxue’ in terms of size and style. The only difference is that the blade of the new sword is as black and shiny as obsidian, and the blade is also narrower and longer, proving that the new sword is sharper.
“It took me more than ten whetstones just to sharpen the edge of this sword. I have done my best to sharpen it to the maximum possible degree. At the same time, I also melted the sword you left behind into the new sword according to your request!”
“In addition, due to the integration of obsidian crystal, this sword also has extraordinary hardness. The only pity is that my skills are limited. After all, this sword still cannot reach the level of a good sharp sword!” Mark said with some regret.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m already very satisfied to have achieved this point!” Di Mu glanced at the other party’s bloodshot eyes and smiled slightly. Then he looked at the new sword with satisfaction and swung the sword towards the kitchen utensils placed aside.
Swish~!
The dark sword light flashed, and the iron kitchen utensils were unable to withstand the sharpness of the new sword at all. They were cut off neatly and fell to the ground with a clang.
“From today on, you are the new ‘Moxue’, and you will experience this world with me!” Di Mu murmured softly, brushing the dark sword.
The new ‘Ink Blood’ has been completed, and it is time for Di Mu to leave. After leaving one million Baileys for the casting fee, Di Mu carried the ‘Ink Blood’ on his back and headed for the port.
The ship that was purchased at the beginning had already been launched, and the supplies were also prepared. After Di Mu got on the boat, he set sail away.
At the same time, just one day after Di Mu left, a group of men in black suits also came to the small town of Palmera Island. They were the CP members who were tracking Di Mu.
There is no doubt that after some investigation, when the CP members found Mark, they learned that Di Mu had left the day before, so they naturally became furious and chased him out to sea again.
However, these CP members did not know that Di Mu had already realized that they would be pursued if they betrayed the base. Therefore, after reaching the road on Palmera Island, Di Mu changed his route halfway after leaving the sea and headed in another direction.
The CP members followed the defense line where Di Mu left after investigation, but Di Mu changed direction halfway, which naturally made it difficult for them to catch up with Di Mu.
After shaking off CP’s pursuit, Di Mu did not sail aimlessly, but headed directly towards an island in his memory.
A month later, with his supplies almost exhausted, Di Mu finally arrived at his destination, an uninhabited island full of primitive atmosphere and wildness.
Chapter 23: Island of Ferocious Beasts (Old Version)
“This should be it. According to the intelligence records of the base, this island is full of powerful beasts and there are very few ships passing by. We should be able to practice in peace!” After docking the boat at the shore, Di Mu walked to the beach and looked at the island covered with dense forests in front of him with great satisfaction.
Roar!
Even if you stand on the edge of the island, you can hear creepy roars coming from the island all the time, and you can even see towering trees falling down in the depths of the island, raising large amounts of dust.
This island can be said to be a weaker version of Ruskaina’s Island of Ferocious Beasts. Ordinary people would not come here even if they knew about it, simply because it is too ferocious. The beasts on the island are enough to destroy the entire army.
But at the same time, for Di Mu, this island of ferocious beasts is a very good place for cultivation.
The stronger the beasts on the island, the better the effect of honing his strength. When he reaches the top of the food chain on the island, it must mean that his strength has been improved.
Di Mu walked directly into the dense forest on the island without hesitation, ready to experience the charm of the island.
Just less than a hundred meters into the dense forest, Di Mu suddenly heard a whistling wave of air behind him, and at the same time a huge shadow enveloped him.
Di Mu reacted almost instantly and rushed forward, but he was still a step too slow. There were several bloody cuts on his back as if he was slashed by a sharp blade, and even his “ink blood” almost flew off.
Turning around, he saw a mountain cat that was even bigger than a tiger and was five or six meters long. It was staring at Di Mu with bloodshot eyes, and there were dents under its claws.
“Sure enough, you didn’t disappoint me. I’ll accept the gift. Now please accept my gift in return!” Di Mu grinned, completely ignoring the injury on his back, and grasped the hilt of the ‘Moxue’ sword.
With lightning speed, Di Mu appeared behind the giant mountain cat in an instant. At the same time, a dazzling sword light flashed by.
Blood gushed out. The giant mountain cat chose the wrong opponent. With blood gushing out from its back, its body broke into two halves and fell heavily to both sides, causing the ground to shake.
From the moment they entered the Island of Beasts, a bloody fight broke out immediately. Di Mu, who sheathed his sword, showed a hint of excitement. He was looking forward to the days to come more and more.
Time flies, and two years have passed without me noticing!
In a forest full of primitive atmosphere, a wild boar as big as a hill rushed out more than ten meters, covered in blood, crashed into several large trees, fell to the ground powerlessly, and died after twitching for a while.
On the other side, Di Mu casually put the “Ink Blood” in his hand into the scabbard behind him.
“Some of them were not cut enough. They had such thick skin, but they died in just a few hits. It seems that it’s time for my training to come to an end!” Di Mu touched his chin and said to himself.
After two years, Di Mu was twelve years old. He had also grown taller, nearly 1.6 meters tall, and his strength had also increased.
Within more than a year of landing on the island, Di Mu became the new overlord of this island of ferocious beasts and reached the top.
At the same time, during these two years, in addition to the usual “electrode strengthening”, Di Mu also carried out more rigorous training in kendo.
Since there was no need to train during the day like when he was at the base, Di Mu increased the number of “electrode strengthening” sessions from five to eight times a day.
But this is not because he is lazy, but because human cells have certain limits. When frequently strengthened with electric current, they will develop resistance and damage.
Eight enhancements per day is the best and most perfect number of enhancements that Di Mu found after many attempts. It will neither make the cells resistant nor cause damage.
Similarly, eight times of ‘electrode reinforcement’ every day also means that Di Mu’s training in these two years is equivalent to eight times the effect of a normal day, which is equivalent to eighteen years of training.
Even though his physical aptitude was average or even poor, and due to the limitations of his age, he could not achieve the best results in cultivation before he developed, but Di Mu had steadily improved his Taoist power to a level of around 1,500 in the past two years.
Don’t think that this improvement speed is slow. Think about the original CP9. In addition to Rob Lucci, Kaku and Jabra, there are people like Bruno, Shishi Wadori, Otonashi Owl and so on.
CP students all start training at the age of seven or eight, and Bruno, The Lion Wadori, Otonashi Owl and others were all around thirty years old when they appeared on the stage.
However, their Dao powers were only over 800, and it took them at least 20 years to achieve this, not to mention the golden period of strength improvement after their bodies began to develop.
Di Mu’s practice under ‘electrode strengthening’ is equivalent to eighteen years, and his Dao force has increased from the original six hundred and fifty to one thousand five hundred, an increase of eight hundred and fifty.
Given the limitations of his physical age and qualifications, it is not easy for Di Mu to make such a big improvement.
Of course, in addition to the improvement of his Taoist power, the swordsmanship that Di Mu has always attached great importance to naturally cannot stagnate. After two years of fighting and training with wild beasts, he has reached the peak of the first level of swordsman and is only one step away from entering the realm of cutting iron.
It can be said that with Di Mu’s current strength, he cannot be considered a weakling even if he enters the Grand Line. He is much stronger than most pirates preparing to enter the Grand Line.
After feeling that the beasts on the island no longer posed a danger to him, Di Mu felt it was time to leave.
However, before leaving, Di Mu prepared a farewell ceremony for himself. He ignored the giant wild boar he had killed, and walked leisurely towards the center of the island.
Although terrible roars continued to echo in the dense forest, no beast attacked Di Mu as he walked along. Instead, the roars would stop abruptly and there would be silence.
Even the wild beasts are afraid. In the past two years, Di Mu has made the wild beasts on the island understand that this skinny-looking creature in front of them is a terrifying existence. Anyone who is targeted will be chopped into pieces. How dare they be so presumptuous?
(There will be another chapter at 2pm. Please add me to your collection, give me flowers, and give me rewards!)
Chapter 24: Second Style of Swordsmanship (Please collect and reward!) (Old version)
In the eerie silence, Di Mu successfully arrived at the center of the island, on a broken mountain that seemed to have been cut horizontally.
Almost as Di Mu reached the top of the flat mountain, a huge figure rushed out from the woods and crushed all the trees along the way.
A deafening roar that caused strong ripples in the air rushed towards Di Mu. The huge figure was actually a giant ape King Kong that was more than ten meters tall, with tendons all over its body and thick black hair.
The giant ape King Kong waved his strong arms, beating his thick chest quickly like beating a drum, and his beast eyes stared at Di Mu, full of vigilance and anger.
The strong sound waves made Di Mu’s clothes rustle. He scratched his ears and said to the giant ape King Kong with dissatisfaction: “It’s always like this. Can’t you try another way? My ears are almost deafened!”
This was not the first time that Di Mu had looked for the giant ape King Kong. In fact, Di Mu established himself as the new overlord of the Island of Beasts because he defeated the giant ape King Kong.
As if it understood Di Mu’s words, the giant ape King Kong became even more furious and violent, and its pupils turned blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before Di Mu came to this island, the giant ape King Kong was the king of the island, and all the beasts were inferior to it.
But when Di Mu found it, even after defeating it, he would practice sword skills with it every once in a while until he had cut it to death and would not leave.
Now it was really like enemies meeting each other and they were extremely jealous of each other. The giant ape King Kong could no longer bear it. With another deafening roar, he moved his strong legs and rushed directly and violently towards Di Mu.
A fist that was more than the size of a person directly created a whistling wave of air, and the giant ape King Kong fell towards Di Mu with a force that could easily crush rocks.
The giant ape King Kong, the former overlord of this island, not only had thick skin and strength and amazing strength, but was also extremely fast and flexible. Now he rushed out and punched in almost an instant, appearing extremely ferocious.
Fortunately, Di Mu was no pushover. When the huge fist fell, he raised his leg and kicked out in an almost split posture.
Although Di Mu’s legs were not much different from toothpicks compared to the giant ape King Kong’s arms, the collision between the two created a violent whirlwind that caused the nearby air to churn violently.
The left foot that supported his body was deeply sunken into the ground, but Di Mu did not retreat at all. Even the right leg that kicked out to fight with the giant ape King Kong did not bend at all, and he dropped it forcefully.
“It’s my turn next!” The battle had already begun. Di Mu grinned and instantly grasped the ‘Moxue’ behind him with his right hand.
Since it is a farewell ceremony, he has to take it seriously. Although he is enough to defeat the opponent under normal circumstances, Di Mu still decides to fight with all his strength.
Brilliant electric currents flashed out from Di Mu’s body in an instant, and at the same time, the ‘ink blood’ was also surrounded by electric light, tightly sticking to the blade, like an electric sword.
Magnetic weapon slash~!
With a gleam in his eyes, Di Mu bent his right foot and pushed the giant ape King Kong’s fist directly into the air. At the same time, the “Ink Blood” in his hand, which was surrounded by electric light, flashed and a huge sword wave shining with electric current suddenly rushed into the sky. Amid the whistling and tumbling of the twisting air, it instantly cut through the thick arm.
Blood spurted out, the giant ape King Kong howled and roared, and instinctively retreated. At the same time, his right arm that attacked Di Mu was broken, and it kept spinning in the air and flew into the woods not far away.
As a swordsman, one cannot just improve strength, but also needs to have powerful swordsmanship.
In the two years that Di Mu was on the island, in addition to practicing basic swordsmanship, he also naturally developed two swordsmanship techniques of his own. One of them is the “Magnetic Slash” that was used to cut off the giant ape King Kong’s arm.
This is not the crude way that Di Mu attached electric current to the blade, but another force of the “source of electromagnetism” was integrated into it, including magnetism.
In addition to covering the blade with a large amount of 5000 volt electric current, the ‘Magnetic Weapon Slash’ also uses magnetic force to guide the electric current to compress it and wrap it around the blade, greatly increasing the sharpness of the sword.
At the same time, Di Mu even managed to merge the electric current with the sword wave, so that after the slash, it could be entangled with the sword wave and rush out into the distance, greatly enhancing the power of the sword wave.
The ‘Magnetic Weapon Slash’ caused the giant ape King Kong to lose an arm, and also frightened the originally irritable giant ape King Kong. Although Di Mu would hurt it in the past, he never let it suffer any physical damage because he needed to practice sword fighting with his opponent.
But this time, Di Mu suddenly cut off its arm, which made the giant ape King Kong feel Di Mu’s strong murderous aura.
The fear of death is imprinted in the genes of all living things. The same is true for the giant ape King Kong. Under the fear of death, it turned around and ran into the woods, trying to escape.
Seeing the giant ape King Kong’s actions, Di Mu was furious. This was his farewell ceremony, and the sacrifice actually wanted to escape. What a joke.
“Monster, bah, Xiao Hei, don’t even think about escaping!” Di Mu shouted angrily and used the shaving skill. His body turned into lightning and rushed diagonally into the air. At the same time, his body spun wildly like a gyroscope, turning into a drill with flashing lightning and rushing straight to the back of the giant ape King Kong who was fleeing towards the woods.
Hurricane Killing Sword~!
The second type of swordsmanship that Di Mu figured out on the island was based on War Greymon’s Battle Tornado and Ryuuhomon’s Lightning Poison Dragon Drill.
Using shaving as power, the sword rotates at high speed, generating a terrifying penetrating force like a hurricane.
It turned into a hurricane flashing with lightning, and the surrounding void was stirred up by a powerful gale. Di Mu burst out with an astonishing speed, and almost in the blink of an eye he hit the back of the giant ape King Kong, and then passed through it in an instant.
A desperate and sad roar echoed in the sky of the island for a long time. The giant ape King Kong was pierced by Di Mu’s “Hurricane Breaking Sword”, and a huge bloody hole was torn in his chest. The whole body fell directly to the ground under inertia, leaving a long trench.
After just a few twitches, the giant ape King Kong died, and his body was stained red with blood.
After rushing out for dozens of meters, Di Mu stopped spinning, and then returned to the giant ape King Kong using the Moon Step.
Chapter 25: Impossible Island (Old Version)
“I feel a little dizzy. Although Hurricane Breaking Kill is very powerful, it is better to use it less. Otherwise, I will feel dizzy every time after using it!” Di Mu shook his head, swayed a few times as if he was drunk, and muttered to himself.
After resting for a while, when the dizziness subsided, Di Mu happily went forward and dismembered the giant ape King Kong. He had been coveting the other’s flesh for a long time.
The beasts and sea monsters in the world of One Piece seem to be particularly delicious because of the superior air environment. In particular, the stronger the creature, the more tender its flesh and blood. Di Mu has long understood this clearly.
Before, because he needed someone to practice sword skills, he had never used the giant ape King Kong, whom he named Xiao Hei, to practice. But now that he was ready to leave, Di Mu naturally didn’t hesitate.
Relying on the cooking skills honed during two years on the island, a bonfire was quickly built, and the aroma of the giant ape meat, which was strung together from pieces of branches that had been cut into spears, was roasted.
Di Mu ate with relish, finishing each piece of barbecued meat. With the improvement of his physical fitness, his appetite seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and his digestive ability was also terrifying.
Like now, the giant ape King Kong, which was more than ten meters in size, turned into a pile of bones in just one hour. All the edible things on his body were eaten by Di Mu, and his lower abdomen was also bloated.
Di Mu found a small branch and used it as a toothpick to pick his teeth comfortably. Then he staggered towards the shore of the island.
In order not to expose his whereabouts, Di Mu had pushed the boat to the shore and hid it in the woods. Now that he was ready to leave, Di Mu pushed the boat back into the sea.
This is because Di Mu possesses superhuman strength, otherwise it would require a large amount of manpower to push the ship even without relying on machinery.
“Goodbye, my second hometown!” Di Mu looked at the Beast Island that was gradually moving away, waved his hand with some emotion, and then took the helm and sailed towards the distance.
Although the North Sea is one of the strongest among the four seas, it no longer poses any pressure to Di Mu. Next, he plans to head to the Grand Line to continue honing his strength.
However, Di Mu would not jump in without any preparation like Luffy. That is not bravery but ignorance.
Before setting out on the Grand Line, Di Mu must prepare well. Apart from other things, the necessary recording pointers for the Grand Line are definitely indispensable.
Di Mu had memorized most of the islands and countries in the North Sea when he was studying at the base. After leaving the Island of Beasts, he headed towards an island that sold record pointers and even permanent pointers.
The days at sea were boring, so Di Mu prepared a lot of meat and fruits before leaving the Island of Beasts so that he didn’t have to worry about food.
I don’t know if it was because Di Mu was lucky, but in the North Sea, an area where pirates were rampant, he never encountered any pirates during his several voyages. After more than ten days, he successfully arrived at his destination.
Totnes is a very prosperous island country, but this is not because of the strong governance capabilities of the country’s leaders, but because it is an island where no one is in power.
There is no navy in charge, no national army to manage, and no justice.
This is a harbor for pirates, a paradise for criminals, and an island ruled by the dark world.
However, although Totnes is a lawless island, it has been able to maintain prosperity. It is obvious that the island has its own system, even if this system is set by the dark world.
Di Mu steered the ship to one of the ports in Totnes. As soon as he got off the ship, he was surrounded by a group of thugs dressed like non-mainstream people.
“You are so lucky today. If you want to live, hand over all the valuables on you!”
“Hahaha, that’s great. There’s no one else on the boat except this little brat. I’m sure I can buy the boat later and get Bailey for free!”
Sinister laughter and sounds of joy continued to be heard from the mouths of these villains, causing other villains at the port who were also rushing over to look over greedily and quicken their pace.
This is a big fat sheep. In the past, any merchant ship or pirate who wanted to rob this island would have to fight hard. Now there is only this little kid like this. If he is not a fat sheep, then what is he?
The first rule of Totnes is to prove yourself with strength when you come to the island. The strong survive and the weak die!
Before the villains’ hideous laughter ended, a horrifying sword wave swept across the entire port. With Di Mu as the origin, all the people within a fan-shaped area of ​​more than ten meters were cut in half. The harbor was covered with corpses, and the blood instantly dyed the port red.
Those villains who had not yet arrived were frozen in place as if they had been acupunctured, their bodies trembling rapidly, with fear on their faces.
“You have bad breath and talk so much, you’re making me sick!” Di Mu waved his hand at the tip of his nose with disgust, holding the ‘Ink Blood’ and glancing at the stiff villains.
With just one look, Di Mu used Sakuragi Hanamichi’s method of killing with eyes, and scared the villains so much that they ran away in a panic.
Di Mu curled his lips, put “Moxue” into the scabbard behind him, and walked towards the town on the island.
The second rule of Totnes is that if one proves to be a strong man, then the ship he is on will be absolutely protected before he dies.
Di Mu was very clear about the rules of Totnes, so he was not worried that his ship would be driven away by the villains in the port. Of course, even if it was driven away, he could also rob those pirate ships.
“I don’t know if I’ve come at the right time. I hope this month’s auction hasn’t started yet!” Di Mu walked on the street, ignoring the pirates and villains everywhere, thinking about his own things.
There is an auction house on Totnes Island that is famous in the North Sea. An auction is held at irregular intervals every month. In order to attract pirate groups that want to enter the Grand Line, a set of Grand Line pointers will be sold at each auction.
This is why Di Mu came to Totnes Island.
Chapter 27: Snatch (Please collect and reward!) (Old version)
Following the explanation of the Sea Tower Stone Spear, not only Di Mu, but many pirates in the venue also had their eyes lit up and immediately started bidding.
Although Devil Fruit abilities are very rare in the Four Seas, they are very common in the Grand Line. When people are unaware of the existence of Haki, Seastone is the best weapon against Devil Fruit users, and naturally it is highly sought after by these pirates.
Not only were these pirates bidding, there were also many wealthy people who loved collecting participating in the auction.
Seastone is also a rare item. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is equivalent to an alternative gemstone with great collection value. Naturally, these wealthy people do not want to miss it.
But in a short while, the Sea Tower Stone Spear was auctioned for 50 million berries, and was finally snatched away by a rough pirate with red eyes.
Although Di Mu also liked the Hailou Stone Spear very much, he did not participate in the auction. He was prepared to snatch it after the auction was over.
The subsequent auction was in full swing, during which Di Mu’s purpose, the Grand Route Compass, also appeared as usual.
It is not just a record pointer, but a set of permanent pointers to seven islands including the Seven Water Cities and an unrecorded record pointer, which is extremely rare.
Most of the pirates who came to the auction were there for the Compass of the Grand Line, so the bidding for this set of pointers was naturally extremely fierce, and by the end of the auction, the transaction price had reached 120 million Baileys.
“Sure enough, monopoly is always a violent industry!” Di Mu shook his head when he saw that this set of pointers was auctioned to such a high price.
Although the permanent pointers are indeed rare, if this set of pointers were placed on the Grand Line, even ten million Baileys would probably not be needed. However, since there are very few Grand Line pointers in the North Sea, a monopoly has emerged.
Di Mu glanced at the pirate who took the photo of the pointer. Seeing how angry he was, he probably took out all his belongings.
But this is not surprising. How many pirates are rich? Even if they rob, they spend money like water. Most of them are paupers.
Among the subsequent auction items, there was no item as rare as the Sea Tower Stone Spear. After the last auction item was sold, Di Mu picked up the “Moxue” beside his legs and walked lazily towards the backstage of the venue.
After an auction item is auctioned, it will not be delivered immediately. Instead, it will have to wait until the auction is completely over before the transaction can be conducted behind the scenes.
When Di Mu walked behind the scenes of the venue, ‘Moxue’ had been tied back on his back, and at the same time he arrived at an empty conference hall.
All the items that had been auctioned before were placed on one side of the conference hall. Not only were there staff members specifically responsible for the transactions sitting in front of the auction items, but there were also dozens of people vigilantly protecting the auction items.
“You’re quite careful!” Di Mu chuckled when he saw the guards protecting the auction items, and then walked over.
In addition to Di Mu, many people were coming into the conference hall at this time. Of course, these were all the people who had bid before. Not many people dared to mess around in this auction house protected by the dark world.
“Stop, if you want to trade the auction items, please go there!” Just as Di Mu walked towards the auction items, a guard raised his hand warily to stop Di Mu from approaching, and pointed to the staff member in charge of the transaction on the side.
These guards were fully armed, holding guns and knives. When they stopped Di Mu from approaching, the other guards also looked over vigilantly, and some even raised their rifles.
Di Mu did not stop because of the guard’s stop. Instead, he suddenly sped up, and in a flash he passed the guard and appeared among the auction items.
When Di Mu approached the auction items, he had already seen the sea tower stone spear and the great route compass placed in the suitcase. At this time, he used the shaving skill and appeared directly next to the sea tower stone spear.
Ignoring the guards who turned around and looked at him in shock and anger after they reacted, Di Mu directly picked up the sea floor stone gun and walked casually towards the suitcase where the pointer was placed.
“Oh no, someone is trying to rob the auction items, shoot!” the guard roared anxiously, and immediately pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand and shot at Di Mu.
Bang bang bang~!
The gunshots rang out almost continuously, and bullets whizzed out one after another, about to hit Di Mu in the blink of an eye.
Di Mu looked calm, his body twisted softly and bonelessly, but he flexibly avoided all the bullets shot at him, and easily came to the suitcase.
“Stop shooting, don’t damage the auction items!” The wretched man came into the conference hall at some point, and when he saw the scene inside, he shouted in panic.
The guards were awakened by the words of the wretched man. They quickly put down their guns, raised their swords and rushed towards Di Mu angrily.
“It’s time to run!” Di Mu picked up the suitcase, holding the sea-tower stone gun in his left hand and the suitcase in his right hand. After seeing the guards rushing over, he whistled and rushed towards the door of the conference hall.
When he was about to meet the guards, Di Mu flew up and kicked out sideways, causing a huge slashing wave.
“Ah~!”
More than a dozen guards were torn into pieces by the slashing wave, and some even had their waists broken. They screamed and flew in all directions. At the same time, the slashing wave, which was still powerful, rushed far away and tore a huge crack in the wall near the entrance of the conference hall, making a loud roar.
After clearing the obstacles, Di Mu rushed towards the door without stopping, like a gust of wind. Even without using shaving, his speed was as fast as lightning.
Suddenly, a huge roar was heard in the conference hall, and the shiny marble floor was smashed into a big hole by a one-meter-thick mace.
As the gravel flew, Di Mu, who was originally there, retreated to the center of the meeting hall in a few jumps and looked at the owner of the mace with some surprise.
“Boy, I don’t care if you rob the items here, but leave that set of Grand Line compasses to me!” The burly pirate with cross-shaped scars on his face shouted angrily.
(Anyone give me a reward?!!!!)
Chapter 28: Yak Fruit Ability (Old Version)
Behind this pirate, there were dozens of pirates with ferocious expressions. Judging from the position where he was standing, the burly pirate who had just attacked Di Mu with his wolf fangs was a pirate captain.
“It’s you!” Di Mu chuckled. He had recognized who the other person was. He was the pirate who had offered 120 million Baileys to buy the Grand Line Compass at the venue.
Obviously, the other party should also come here to trade, but found that the items he bought with great effort were snatched away by Di Mu, so he hurriedly stopped Di Mu from running away.
Just as Di Mu was blocked, a large number of guards rushed into the conference hall. Apparently, the noise here was too loud, and all the guards in the auction house were alarmed and rushed over.
But after a while, the spacious meeting hall became a little crowded. In addition to the burly pirates who blocked Di Mu’s way, more than a hundred guards surrounded Di Mu with murderous intent.
“Tsk~ I originally wanted to have an exciting showdown and then run away, but now it seems that I can only use force!” Di Mu curled his lips, put the suitcase down at his feet, and hit the ground with the seastone gun hard, causing the bottom of the gun to shatter the marble and penetrate into the ground.
“Kill him!” The wretched man’s angry voice came from somewhere. As the voice sounded, the guards surrounding Di Mu immediately waved their swords and rushed out with roars.
‘Moxue’ was unsheathed, and the dazzling sword wave swept in all directions like a circle. Di Mu spun like a top and swung the sword. The sharp sword wave immediately showed a terrifying edge, cutting off most of the guards who rushed up.
The siege had just begun, but the screams had already resounded throughout the conference hall and even spread to the auction house. As the sword wave exploded, more than a dozen guards were lying in the conference hall, and the ground was littered with broken corpses and blood.
A real swordsman is not like the one in the original book who just slashes with his sword and leaves only a wound on his body. That is just a beautified scene. The real situation is that a swordsman’s slash can easily cut the enemy into pieces.
With the peak level of the first class swordsman, the sword wave created by Di Mu was undoubtedly ferocious, instantly turning the conference hall into a Shura field.
As he was attacking, Di Mu did not give the other guards any time to buffer. He just stepped on the ground and turned into a phantom, quickly shuttling through the crowd. Broken limbs and arms flew everywhere he passed, and blood spurted everywhere.
“Ah~ My hand is broken!”
“It hurts so much, someone come and save me, my body is broken!”
“Oh my god, run away!”
The gap in strength is too big. The strength of these guards at the auction house is at most similar to that of ordinary navy. How could they be Di Mu’s opponent?
At this moment, the killing was completely one-sided in the meeting hall. The guards didn’t even get to see Di Mu’s figure before their bodies were chopped off one by one, and then they died wailing.
“Get out of here!” Seeing that the guards in the auction house were almost killed, the burly pirate captain suddenly roared and rushed towards Di Mu waving his ferocious mace.
Moo~!
A sound like the roar of a bull came out of the pirate captain’s mouth, and as it rushed towards Di Mu, its body changed, turning into a minotaur that was four meters tall and covered in muscles.
Since this pirate captain took a picture of the Grand Line’s compass, he was naturally preparing to head for the Grand Line.
Any pirate who still heads for the Grand Line will never be a weakling in the waters where they are located.
The same is true for the pirate captain in front of him. Not only is he notorious in the North Sea, with a bounty of 50 million berries, he is also a user of the animal-type Devil Fruit in the form of a yak.
At this time, the pirate captain used the power of the devil fruit to transform himself into a human-beast yak, greatly enhancing his body’s strength and speed.
When the pirate captain transformed into a huge minotaur, the ground shook with his feet and he rushed to Di Mu violently. The ferocious mace created a whistling wave and smashed towards Di Mu.
Di Mu had already noticed the pirate captain when he was approaching. Although he was surprised that the other party was a devil fruit user, he still swung his sword to block in an instant.
The violent air waves surged in all directions, causing the nearby guards to be blown away. At the same time, the marble floor was cracked.
The ground beneath Di Mu’s feet also sank and shattered. The blade of “Moxue” sword was resisting the terrible force transmitted from the mace, and the muscles on the arm holding the sword were contracting.
The pirate captain’s strength was stronger than expected, and the power of his hammer was even more ferocious than that of the instructor who was killed by Di Mu.
However, Di Mu is no longer the same person he was two years ago. Although the pirate captain’s power is amazing, he still cannot suppress him.
With the swing of his arm, the sword edge and the mace rubbed violently, and the sharp blade even cut into the mace made of pure iron.
Di Mu burst out with strength and chopped the mace off with one sword, causing the pirate captain’s face to change. He quickly retreated seven or eight steps, looking at him in shock and anger.
“Guys, kill this man for me!” The pirate captain was shocked and angry that Di Mu could actually block his power and even force him to retreat, so he immediately yelled.
“Drink it~!”
The pirate captain’s crew members suddenly laughed hideously and shouted, and rushed forward, either shooting or attacking Di Mu with the weapons in their hands.
They were not worried that shooting would damage the auction items in the meeting hall. Since the captain asked them to kill the enemy, they would naturally attack madly.
“Just die quickly, you little minions!” Di Mu sneered, stepped forward, and instantly used the shaving move. He rushed out in a flash and slashed out with a sword at the same time.
The sword wave roared and erupted. Even though some of these pirates had bounties of up to one or two thousand, they were instantly cut in half and sent flying when faced with the powerful sword wave slashed out by Di Mu.
The pirate captain’s face was filled with shock and anger, and he quickly blocked the mace in front of him, causing it to collide violently with the incoming sword wave.
Di Mu has not yet reached the realm of cutting iron. Unless he relies on the sharpness of “Ink Blood”, the pure sword wave cannot cut through the mace made of pure iron.
Chapter 29: Appropriate Pretending (Old Version)
The pirate captain relied on the resistance of the wolf fang and his strong physical strength to withstand Di Mu’s sword wave.
However, although he managed to block it, his men suffered heavy casualties. Like the guards before, they were chopped into pieces by the sword waves, and the blood covered the ground.
“You bastard, I won’t let you go!” The pirate captain became furious when he saw this scene. These were the qualifications for him to enter the Grand Line. Although many of his subordinates had not come yet, those who came with him were the elite of the pirate group.
The pirate captain became furious and mad. He kicked the floor, causing it to crack and shatter. At the same time, he swung his mace and hit Di Mu violently.
Di Mu would naturally not back down. With a cold light in his eyes, he leaped forward and rushed out, holding “Moxue” tightly in both hands, and slashed at the falling mace with one sword.
A sharp and numbing cutting sound was heard in an instant, and with the help of the sharpness of “Moxue” and his own powerful strength, Di Mu cut the mace into two halves, and even the sword tip slashed the chest of the pirate captain who was caught off guard.
Blood spurted out and the pirate captain screamed in pain. A long and narrow bloody gash appeared on his hairy chest and blood continued to flow out of it.
“The fur is quite resistant to cutting!” Di Mu raised his eyebrows, with a look of strong interest on his face.
The opponent was undoubtedly an animal-type devil fruit user, and from the touch of the slash on the opponent’s chest just now, he also felt a strong resistance. Obviously, that furry fur was not fake, but had a very strong defensive effect.
He had no pressure in killing those guards and pirates before, but now he encountered a tough one, and Di Mu’s ‘man’s dream’ was triggered again.
“Hold on!” Di Mu shouted encouragingly to the pirate captain with anticipation, and then rushed out quickly, appearing in front of the other party in the blink of an eye like an arrow.
His body turned like a dance of death, and Di Mu swung his sword continuously, slashing out bright sword lights at the pirate captain who was terrified by the severe pain.
Hiss, hiss, hiss~!
The cutting sounds continued. The pirate captain was enveloped by the sword light, as if frozen in place, unable to move. Only the cutting sounds continued.
He put away his sword, and the bright sword light that lasted for a few breaths disappeared. The pirate captain, who was frozen in place, moved his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, his body broke into pieces like building blocks, and scattered directly on the ground, squeezed into a heap.
“It’s a close call. Fortunately, my sword is fast enough, otherwise it would be over in an instant!” Di Mu wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and said with a look of relief.
It’s been a long time since I felt so comfortable killing someone. It would be too boring if it ended all of a sudden.
After the pirate captain was executed by slow slicing, there were no living people left in the meeting hall. The guards who had survived had already fled after sensing Di Mu’s cruelty, leaving only corpses on the ground.
After Di Mu put the “Ink Blood” into the scabbard behind him, he casually packed up the Hailou Stone Gun and the suitcase in the middle of the conference hall as well as the auction items and took them away.
Since the killing had already begun, it would be a waste not to take anything. Di Mu simply packed up all the auction items and took them away.
“Damn it!” A secret door was suddenly pushed open in the corner of the conference hall. The wretched man who was in charge of the auction walked out of it in a rage even though he was extremely nervous.
The auction items were snatched away, and as the person in charge he would definitely be punished by his superiors. How could the wretched man not be angry?
When he saw the corpses scattered all over the conference hall, the wretched man suddenly shuddered.
The robbers were too powerful, so he had to contact Lord Joker and ask him to send someone to deal with them. Thinking of this, the wretched man quickly took out a Den Den Mushi that was obviously well cared for from his arms.
After coming out of the auction house, Di Mu rushed directly to the shore without saying a word.
Just kidding, you have to be appropriate when pretending. This is the place ruled by the dark world. Once the news of the auction house being looted by him gets out, a large army will definitely come. Di Mu knows very well how powerful and terrifying the dark world is.
In any world, where there is light, there must be a dark side. The dark world is the darkness of the One Piece world, which is pure darkness.
Among the knowledge professors at the CP base, some situations in the dark world were once explained. It is immediately full of mixed people, entangled with 90% of the world’s major forces, and even the world government plays an important role in it.
For example, Doflamingo among the Seven Warlords of the Sea is one of the giants among the many forces in the dark world. Not to mention Di Mu, even if a navy admiral is targeted by the dark world, he will be in danger of death. No, it is estimated that he will be dead ten times out of ten.
Precisely because he understood how powerful the dark world was, Di Mu did not dare to stay for a moment. When he returned to the port, he immediately set sail and quickly left Totnes Island.
The ship was sailing quickly on the sea. Just when Di Mu was less than ten kilometers away from Totnes Island, suddenly a warship appeared quickly on the sea in the distance. The pattern of a seagull holding a wrench painted on the sail fully proved that this warship belonged to the navy.
Di Mu, who had already put the looted auction items into the cabin, was steering the ship when he was suddenly surprised to see a naval warship in the distance heading straight towards him.
“That’s not right. I’m not flying a pirate flag. Why is the navy looking for me?” Di Mu looked at the approaching warship curiously.
Could it be that these navy men were bribed by the dark world, and came to arrest me after discovering that I had robbed the auction house?
Just as Di Mu was daydreaming, the warship had already sailed quickly to the vicinity of the ship. At the same time, the deck of the warship could be seen full of naval soldiers.
“Listen, people on the ship, stop immediately. We are the navy and we are going to search the items on your ship now!” A broadcast-like voice came from the warship. After Di Mu took a quick look, he saw a naval colonel wearing a cloak of justice standing in front of the naval soldiers, shouting with a loudspeaker communicator in his hand.
(The current update is basically two chapters at 10 am and one chapter at 2 pm!)
Chapter 30: Killing the Warship (Please collect and reward!) (Old version)
Although Totnes Island is a no-man’s land and the navy cannot enter the island to arrest pirates and criminals, it obviously does not leave it alone. Therefore, there are warships responsible for patrolling the nearby waters, and any ship found leaving Totnes Island will be thoroughly checked.
“There’s no way we’ll stop!” Di Mu complained. Although he was not a pirate, the problem was that he was a traitor stopped by the CP. If he was questioned by the navy, there would definitely be problems.
Di Mu turned the rudder without hesitation, quickly avoiding the warship and heading towards the distant sea.
When the naval colonel saw that Di Mu’s ship actually changed direction after he shouted, he was immediately shocked. He thought there must be something wrong with this ship that did not fly the pirate flag.
“Fire, quickly, intercept the ship in front!” The naval colonel turned around and shouted.
The gunners who had been in position on the warship naturally lit the fire immediately after hearing the order. With a series of roars, six or seven shells whistled in an arc and fell towards the ship that Di Mu was on.
Although the cannons in the One Piece world are terrible and their accuracy is terrible, Di Mu doesn’t dare to bet that his ship will have the incredible luck of the Golden Merry and the Thousand Sunny, where the cannonballs will never hit the target.
As soon as Di Mu heard the sound of gunfire, he quickly locked the rudder, rushed to the stern, drew out the “Moxue” sword behind him, and swung the sword to cut at the falling shells.
There were simultaneous cutting sounds, and all the shells broke in the middle, split into two halves and exploded in mid-air.
“Since you are pursuing me relentlessly, you can’t blame me!” Di Mu looked at the warships that were chasing him, a cold light in his eyes, and raised “Moxue” high, and lightning suddenly surrounded the blade.
It is not necessary to use the ‘Electric Current Mode’ to use the Magnetic Weapon Slash. On the contrary, just wrapping the electric current energy around the blade will greatly reduce the consumption of mental energy.
As the “ink blood” was surrounded by electric current, Di Mu suddenly slashed down vertically with his sword. A huge electric sword wave suddenly erupted from the sword tip, like a crescent moon hanging into the sea, rushing towards the warship.
When the Magnetic Sword Slash is used, the power of the electric sword wave will be greatly enhanced, and it is no worse than the swordsman’s slash at the Iron Cutting Realm.
A deep crack was cut into the sea surface, and the electric sword wave hit the warship almost instantly. A huge roar was heard, and the warship, which was only of ordinary size, was cut in half by the sword wave, and fell to the sea on both sides with a roar.
“Ah~ I’m going to fall, save me!”
“The warship was cut off. How is this possible?”
“….!”
On the warship that was broken in half, the naval soldiers fell into the sea in a mess like dumplings. Some unlucky ones were even within the range of the sword wave and were torn into two halves.
The naval colonel on the warship was also caught off guard and fell into the sea. He then awkwardly found a piece of wood to climb his upper body on.
The naval ranks of the four seas are all inflated. If calculated by strength, they would be demoted by at least three levels in the Grand Line. In other words, this naval colonel is only as strong as a captain in the naval headquarters.
After crawling on the wooden board, the naval colonel looked at Di Mu in horror as he was slowly putting “Moxue” into the scabbard behind him not far away.
He is not an ignorant sailor. He once served in the Grand Line, but was transferred to the North Sea because of his weak strength.
“This man is actually a swordsman, so scary!” The naval colonel exclaimed in his heart with lingering fear.
In the knowledge of this naval captain, the only swordsman who could cut through a warship of the size he was on was a swordsman who had reached the level of iron-cutting. Moreover, when he was in the naval headquarters, he had seen a swordsman colonel in the headquarters cut through a pirate ship of the same size.
Di Mu had no idea that a naval colonel considered him a swordsman because of his Magnetic Weapon Slash. After getting rid of the warship’s pursuit, he continued to drive the ship away.
Having successfully obtained the pointer to the Grand Route, Di Mu was officially ready to march into the Grand Route.
On an island country halfway along the way, while Di Mu was replenishing supplies, he also asked a local blacksmith to transform the blade of the sea tower stone spear into a large dagger and hung it around his waist.
At the same time, the auction items detailed from the auction house were exchanged for about 150 million Baileys from the Bailey Exchange.
After everything was over, Di Mu sailed directly towards the Upside-down Mountain.
“I didn’t expect that there was a treasure map among the previous auction items. Hmm, maybe we can go on a treasure hunt!” While steering the ship, Di Mu looked with interest at a treasure map in his hand that was quite old and even a bit tattered.
When the Bailey Exchange was preparing to exchange all the auction items for Bailey, Di Mu accidentally discovered this treasure map among the auction items.
According to the location and information recorded in the blank areas on the treasure map, the treasure is buried somewhere in the foggy sea of ​​the Devil’s Delta. A powerful pirate group got lost there, and the only survivor memorized the location of the sea and luckily brought it out by drifting on a wooden board.
Rumor has it that this pirate group had previously robbed the treasury of a certain country and was originally planning to head to the New World, but sadly, they were wiped out in the Devil’s Delta.
Although Di Mu didn’t care much about wealth, he still decided to keep the treasure map, hoping to have the chance to play the role of a treasure hunter.
After carefully looking at the treasure map for a while, Di Mu carefully put it away, and then continued to steer the ship, moving forward quickly against the wind and waves.
Upside-down Mountain can be said to be the only way to enter the Great Route from the Four Seas. It is connected to the Red Earth Continent and is an incredible and dangerous mountain.
There are five waterways on the Upside Down Mountain in an X-shape, with water flowing in four directions and out one direction. Water from four of the waterways flows upstream to the top of the mountain. These four channels respectively connect to the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Sea. The last waterway flows into the Grand Route.
Chapter 31 Upside Down Mountain (Old Version)
After more than a month, Di Mu’s ship finally arrived at the waters near the North Sea of ​​Diandao Mountain, and the towering miracle mountain could be seen from afar.
“We’re finally here!” With excitement and excitement in his eyes, Di Mu quickly controlled the rudder and sailed straight towards the waterway that was almost vertically downward but upstream.
The violent waves kept rolling, and as they approached the Upside Down, the sea became extremely violent, with whirlpools even appearing from time to time. It was an extremely dangerous area.
The boat was shaking violently under the huge waves. Di Mu grabbed the rudder in a panic, relying entirely on his powerful arm strength to hold the rudder in place, preventing the boat from deviating from its track and tragically crashing into the upside-down cliff.
However, even so, when entering the waterway, Di Mu, who only had mediocre navigation skills, could not help but let the boat come into close contact with the cliffs on both sides of the waterway, causing the boat to immediately suffer serious damage.
While Di Mu was trembling with fear and even his body was soaked by the splashing sea water, he did not feel the tension at all. Finally, the boat successfully entered the upstream waterway. With the violent vibration, the boat suddenly turned into a speedboat and rushed to the top of the mountain rapidly with the current.
When it reached the peak of resistance, Di Mu’s ship flew up from the upstream waterway and fell directly into the waterway that rushed straight down to the Grand Line. The astonishing paddling speed made the air seem to be blowing like a strong wind.
“Be sure not to run into Lab!” Di Mu held the rudder tightly, trying to prevent the ship from losing control and himself from being blown away by the violently shaking ship, and prayed hurriedly in his heart.
Damn, with Lab’s size, he wouldn’t be able to cut him off even if he exerted all his strength. If he blocked the exit of the waterway, Di Mu was sure that his boat would be smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, Di Mu was not so unlucky. Lab did not appear. The boat rushed into the sea rapidly with the water flow, and then slid for hundreds of meters before slowly slowing down.
Di Mu let out a long sigh, with a lingering fear on his face. He finally made it through. He quickly spread out the folded sail, then steered the boat towards the distance.
“We have to find a place to repair the boat!” Di Mu thought to himself as he looked at the boat whose deck was cracked in the collision just now.
The weather on the Grand Line is much more bizarre and terrifying than that on the four seas. If there is a problem with the ship, then you will die.
Di Mu took out the set of pointers that he had snatched from the auction house, and then chose an island known by the permanent pointer closest to him and moved forward.
The universal base knowledge imparted to Di Mu not only gave him a detailed understanding of the North Sea where he was located, but also enabled him to know about many small islands and countries along the Grand Route.
The permanent pointers are marked with the names of the islands they represent. Di Mu knows several of them, so he will not be confused about where to go.
The rudder turned, and Di Mu quickly sailed in the direction indicated by the permanent compass in his hand.
Facts have proved that the weather on the Grand Line is really weird. Not long after sailing, Di Mu encountered a horrible storm that swept across the sky and the earth, and the ship was almost swallowed up.
But this is not the end. After the storm finally passed and the weather turned clear, a heavy snowstorm suddenly fell from the sky, almost freezing Di Mu to death.
Sometimes it rains heavily, sometimes it snows heavily, and there are hurricanes from time to time. Di Mu feels that he is about to be driven to death by the weather on the Grand Line.
“Sure enough, the Grand Line is not a place for normal people!” Di Mu watched the rainstorm recede, revealing the scorching summer sun, and threw his raincoat on the deck with an unhappy look on his face.
Boom boom boom~!
Just when Di Mu was about to go back to the cabin to change into fresh clothes because the weather suddenly became hot, suddenly a series of gunfire sounds came from a distance. At the same time, more than a dozen black spots quickly enlarged from the sky, which turned out to be falling shells.
Di Mu reacted immediately and kicked out a huge slashing wave, which blew up the falling shells in mid-air, causing continuous explosions and flames.
Looking in the direction where the sound of gunfire came from, I saw five or six pirate ships of different shapes, all with skull patterns on them, sailing towards them quickly.
The Grand Line is a dangerous place. If you don’t come here, you will never truly understand how terrifying it is.
Likewise, some of the Four Seas Pirates who entered the Grand Line but found that this was not a place they could be so arrogant in would retreat, and when they were unable to return to the Four Seas, they would start robbing new pirate groups.
The pirates on the five or six pirate ships heading towards Di Mu at this time were a group that specialized in hunting down new pirate groups that had just entered the Grand Line.
“Hahaha, another fat sheep has appeared. Guys, hurry up and kill everyone on the boat and grab all the treasures!”
“I’m going to get rich again. After this robbery, I can go to Rose Street and have some fun!”
Shouts and hideous laughs coming from the fast-approaching pirate ships echoed in this sea area. Di Mu looked at these pirate ships with a frown.
“You guys are treating me like a soft persimmon. Hey, I’m really unhappy right now, so I’ll vent my anger on these pirates!” Di Mu let out a sinister and terrifying laugh and strode towards the bow of the ship.
“Moxue” was unsheathed, and bright electric light lingered on the blade. As soon as Di Mu walked to the bow, he slashed at the pirate ship in front with his sword.
The air roared, the waves surged, the sea surface was cut open, and the pirate ship that rushed in the front and roared the loudest was just like the warship at the beginning. The bow and stern were directly cut in half by the sword waves of flashing electricity.
“What happened? Why did the boat break?”
“Impossible, what was that just now? Why was my boat cut off?”
On the broken pirate ship, the pirates fell into the sea in panic, splashing waves. The pirates on the other five pirate ships nearby also looked at this scene in disbelief.
Chapter 32 Dark Exchange (Old Version)
Since they have attracted the attention of the new pirate group, it proves that the strength of this pirate group is very weak. Not to mention that they have devil fruit abilities, the captain with the highest bounty on the pirate ship only has 25 million Baileys, which makes them just a small minion in the Grand Line.
Moon step~!
With one sword he cut off a pirate ship. Then Di Mu leaped up, stepped on the air, and rushed towards the other pirate ships at lightning speed. He landed on the deck of one of the pirate ships like a meteor.
Ignoring the pirates on the boat who were looking at him in astonishment, Di Mu grinned, held the “Moxue” and spun around to slash.
The huge sword wave rushed out in the shape of a crescent moon, not only cutting the pirates in half wherever it passed, but even cutting off the poles of the pirate ships, and directly fell heavily onto another nearby pirate ship, causing the pirate ship to shake violently and almost sink.
The killing began. No, it should be said that Di Mu’s killing journey in the Grand Line began from this moment. Pirates were killed one by one by him without mercy, and the pirate ships were turned into mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
As for the pirates and the pirate captain who fell into the sea, Di Mu didn’t even look at them. He directly found an opportunity to release 5,000 volts of current into the sea, causing the conductive seawater to almost boil, and the pirates and the pirate captain were all electrocuted and convulsed to death.
But in less than a quarter of an hour, there was no sound on the sea, and all the pirates became mutilated and charred corpses floating on the sea.
Standing on the deck covered with body parts, Di Mu calmly put “Moxue” back into the scabbard, then searched a pack of cigarettes from the half-body on the deck, took out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth.
Hiss~!
Taking a deep puff, Di Mu showed the demeanor of an old smoker, blowing out a series of smoke rings from his mouth, and leaned against the bow railing with a relaxed look on his face.
“After smoking a cigarette, I feel as happy as a god. I’m starting to like this place!” Di Mu sighed with satisfaction, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
After finishing a cigarette, Di Mu put the remaining cigarette into his arms, and then slowly searched several pirate ships to see if he would be lucky enough to get a magic weapon from the monsters.
But it is obvious that this is not a private server, and it is impossible for the monsters to drop artifacts. After searching for a while, there is not even anything decent.
Di Mu cursed the poor fellow in his heart, then prepared to return to his boat with a bored look on his face. However, just as he was about to walk out of the cabin, Di Mu suddenly saw a stack of bounty warrants on the table next to him.
“Huh?!” Di Mu exclaimed softly, turned around, walked to the table, and picked up the bounty order on it.
If it was just a bounty order, Di Mu would naturally not care, but the problem was that the one on top of the stack of bounty orders had a picture of a young man who was incredibly handsome.
Well, this so-called ‘earth-shatteringly handsome young man’ is what Di Mu thinks himself, because it is himself that is printed on it.
“When was this taken? It’s quite good!” Di Mu looked at his bounty order with admiration, his face full of narcissism.
The photo printed by Xuanshanling was none other than the scene of Di Mu standing at the stern, preparing to put “Moxue” into the scabbard behind him. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the photo left when Di Mu cut off the warship in the waters near Totnes Island.
Di Mu did not expect that he was photographed by the navy at that time, and the reward amount was shown as 58 million Baileys.
“Wait, what the hell is this ‘Sword Carrier’!” Suddenly, Di Mu became furious when he saw the words marked on the reward amount.
Obviously, the navy did not know Di Mu’s name, so the bounty order only marked the name the navy gave to Di Mu, which was the “Sword Carrying Man” that made Di Mu furious.
Di Mu also realized that this must be the name given to him by the navy, but the problem was that this name made him feel unhappy.
“The navy is a bunch of bastards. Hawkeye also carries a sword, so why don’t they call him Sword Bearer? Sword Bearer, damn it, they make themselves sound so lowly. This is clearly a contempt for me!” Di Mu was murderous and kept cursing with gritted teeth.
Di Mu felt that his self-esteem was seriously hurt, and he was already thinking about going to the navy to let them know the consequences of despising him.
After tearing the bounty order with his stain on it into pieces, Di Mu angrily left the pirate ship, returned to his own ship, and continued on his way.
The permanent destination chosen by Di Mu is to go to an island called Serman, where there is a very prosperous city.
After half a month of sailing, Di Mu practiced and advanced as usual, and finally arrived at the small island of Sanman.
Although he was full of resentment towards the Xuanshan Order, Di Mu, who did not want to cause trouble under the bounty, found a cloak and put it on his body and head to avoid being discovered by the navy, and then got off the boat.
As long as the island is slightly prosperous, there will definitely be a shipyard. Di Mu packed up the Baileys on the ship and left one million Baileys for ship repair costs, then handed the ship over to a shipyard for processing.
“There are not many supplies on the ship, so we need to purchase some. Also, we need to see if there are any permanent pointers for sale in this town. If there are, we must buy them!” Wearing a cloak, with “ink blood” on his back and a seastone dagger on his right waist, Di Mu walked on the busy street with Bailey carrying two suitcases, thinking at the same time.
There are more permanent compasses on the Grand Route than usual ones in the four seas, and having permanent compasses makes navigation on the Grand Route much more convenient. Di Mu plans to prepare more.
Thinking of this in his mind, Di Mu began to scan the shops on both sides of the street, trying to see if there was any store that did not sell permanent pointers.
Suddenly, when Di Mu saw a hidden bar sign on the corner of the street, he was startled.
“I didn’t expect that there would be an exchange of the dark world here!” Di Mu looked at the small sickle printed in the corner of the bar sign with some surprise.
Don’t underestimate this sickle. It represents the weapon of the god of death and is also the symbol of the dark world exchange. The presence of this sickle means that the place it belongs to is the territory of the dark world.

Chapter 33 Domineering Intelligence (Old Version)
Obviously, Di Mu knew all this based on the knowledge he learned at the base. He looked at the sickle on the bar sign, his heart moved slightly, and he walked into a mask shop on the street. When he came out, he had a cat mask in his hand.
After returning to the original place, Di Mu put on the cat mask on his face after making sure that there was no surveillance Den Den Mushi, and then went directly to the bar hidden in the corner of the street.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, there were only a few customers in the bar. After hearing the door open, he just glanced at Di Mu and then looked away, looking drunk, and he didn’t seem surprised at all that Di Mu was wearing a mask.
“Would you like something to drink, sir?” Di Mu walked to the bar, and the middle-aged waiter inside said with a smile.
“Have a cup of Hell’s Journey!” Di Mu lowered his voice and even used techniques to change his voice, making his somewhat immature voice become very hoarse.
It was like a code word for the dark side. After Di Mu gave the correct code word, the middle-aged waiter knocked on the table. After a few words, a guest who was almost drunk stood up and walked to Di Mu.
Di Mu was not surprised. He followed the other party after he turned and walked to the corner of the bar. Then he saw the other party touch the wall, and a secret door suddenly appeared on the wall.
Di Mu chuckled in his heart. It seemed that the secret language of the dark world that he had learned at the base was very reliable. It was so easy to enter the dark exchange.
After the guest who opened the secret door moved aside, Di Mu walked into the secret door, and then there was a staircase leading diagonally downwards.
Walking down the stairs, when Di Mu reached the end, there was another iron gate. Two guards with rifles were standing at the door. When they saw Di Mu coming, they opened the iron gate with expressionless faces.
The sounds of talking, chatting, and laughing suddenly came out from inside as the iron gate opened. Di Mu walked through the iron gate and immediately came to an empty underground meeting hall. People wearing cloaks and masks could be seen talking in groups of three or four everywhere.
This is the exchange of the dark world. You can trade anything here, whether it is open or hidden. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough Bailey.
At the same time, hiding one’s identity is the most basic thing in the exchanges of the dark world. This can be seen from the fact that except for the staff, everyone in the conference hall, like Di Mu, wears cloaks and masks that cover their entire bodies.
No one who can come here is a good person. If you reveal your identity or wealth, then you can just wait to be hunted down when you leave here.
Di Mu’s arrival did not attract anyone’s attention. The exchange in the dark world was mysterious and dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people, but for those who could come here, as long as you abide by the rules here, it would be even safer than staying in the Navy Headquarters.
Looking around, Di Mu walked directly to the neatly row of trading counters opposite the conference hall, and then chose a pure and beautiful female staff member and approached her.
“Hello, do you need any service? Our principle is that as long as you give Bailey, we will give you everything you want!” The beautiful staff member, who was only wearing a tube top and a short skirt, revealing her body, smiled sweetly and said to Di Mu who walked to the counter.
“You must have some domineering training methods here, I wonder how many Baileys it costs!” A hoarse voice came from under Di Mu’s mask.
Yes, Di Mu discovered the Dark World Exchange and came here just to see if he could get some domineering cultivation methods.
Whether you are practicing kendo, taijutsu, or devil fruit abilities, domineering is an absolutely indispensable power, especially in the New World. Without domineering, even if you are as strong as a general, you may be killed by a devil fruit user with strange abilities.
Apart from the navy, the only people who can use Haki in the Grand Line are those who want to learn Haki. It is extremely difficult to obtain the method to practice Haki. Di Mu had already decided not to go to the New World before learning Haki, so he was naturally very eager for Haki.
The beautiful staff member smiled sweetly again, and said, “Hello, guest. We certainly have the domineering cultivation method. It only costs 500 million Baileys to trade for it!”
The corner of Di Mu’s mouth twitched under the mask. Although he had long known that everything could be traded in the exchange of the dark world, the prices were also shockingly high. But it turned out that the domineering cultivation method cost 500 million Baileys to buy. This was simply too black.
Di Mu knew that although the domineering cultivation method was not everywhere in the New World, it was not cherished very much. The sky-high price of 500 million Baileys was sold here, and it was a fucking monopoly industry.
“Ahem, I want to buy information. May I ask, besides going to the new world, where can I get the domineering cultivation method?” Di Mu pretended to cough to cover up his embarrassment, and then said.
If possible, Di Mu would like to rob the exchange directly like he did to the auction house, and then obtain the domineering cultivation method.
But the problem is that it is not possible. This is not the Four Seas, but the Grand Line. Every dark exchange will have a strong man in charge. If we compare it with the bounty order of pirates, then there is no bounty lower than 300 million Baileys.
Not only that, in addition to the strong men in charge, there is no shortage of masters in the Dark Exchange, just like the beautiful female staff member who looks sweet in front of him. Based on Di Mu’s secret observation, the other party is definitely not as weak as she looks. On the contrary, she is a master. Well, her strength is almost equivalent to that of the instructor who was killed by him.
“Hello, guest. If you want to purchase this information, you need to pay 10 million Baileys!” The beautiful female staff member smiled sweetly again, without showing any abnormality because of Di Mu’s embarrassment.
Without saying a word, Di Mu covered the suitcase with his cloak, then took out 10 million Baileys from it, piled them up and placed them on the counter.
The beautiful staff member skillfully swept Bailey into the counter, put it away, and then spoke in a low voice.
Di Mu raised his eyebrows, it turned out that the 10 million Baileys were not wasted.
What the beautiful staff member said was exactly the information about Haki. According to her, according to the latest intelligence obtained by the Dark World, there was a nobleman on the Stanlo Island not far from the Sanlman Island who once rescued a pirate who came back from the New World. In order to repay the favor, the pirate left the Haki training method he had learned to the nobleman.

Chapter 34: Fighting among all parties (old version)
In other words, if Di Mu wanted to obtain the method of practicing domineering aura, then the best way was to find this nobleman and get the method of practicing domineering aura left behind by the New World pirates from him.
“Buy another piece of information. Is there anyone or any force that is eyeing that noble’s domineering cultivation method?” Di Mu pondered for a moment and asked again.
The world is still made up of the majority of smart people, and only a few are like Luffy who dare to sail blindly without knowing anything.
Although Haki is the mainstream in the New World, there must be some people who know about it in the first half of the Grand Line, and they also want to obtain the method of practicing Haki.
Since Di Mu could think of getting this information from the Dark Exchange, there must be other people who would do the same. Di Mu must investigate it thoroughly.
In response to this information, the beautiful staff member asked Di Mu for one million Baileys, and then informed him that there were currently three forces preparing to snatch it, namely the Heavy Artillery Pirates, the Mad Dog Pirates, and the Ogre Pirates.
Regarding this situation, Di Mu naturally spent another 1.5 million Baileys without hesitation to continue purchasing information on these three pirate groups.
Later, Di Mu also learned the general situation of these three pirate groups.
For example, the bounty for the captain of the Heavy Artillery Pirates is 45 million berries.
The bounty on the captain of the Mad Dog Pirates is 70 million berries.
The bounty on the captain of the Ogre Pirates is 89 million berries.
Of course, in addition to the bounty, Di Mu also knew the strength and abilities of these three pirate captains and their crews.
After coming out of the Dark Exchange, Di Mu got rid of some followers who wanted to make a fortune, then entered a secret alley and took off his cat mask.
“Looks like I have to leave again soon!” Di Mu threw the cat mask away, muttered something, and turned away.
In order to avoid any further complications, Di Mu naturally had to hurry to the island of Stanlo to find the nobleman. He went straight back to the shipyard where the ship was repaired, and then after paying a deposit of 10 million Baileys, he rented a ship from the shipyard that was no slower than his original ship.
Driving the rented boat, Di Mu quickly headed towards the permanent pointer of Stanlo Island that he bought from the Dark Exchange.
Just as the beautiful staff member said, Stanlo Island is not far from Sanleman Island. In less than a day, Di Mu arrived at Stanlo Island.
After docking the ship at the port, Di Mu went ashore directly on the island without caring whether the unattended ship would be stolen, and went straight to the location where the noble was.
Since he can be called a noble, he naturally has no shortage of money and power. This noble lives in a mansion with a beautiful environment on the small island of Stanlo. The iron fence wall almost surrounds the hill where the mansion is located, and there are many guards inside the wall.
This time, Di Mu did not charge in directly like he did before. Knowing that there were three other pirate groups also trying to use the domineering practice method, Di Mu would naturally act with caution.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of the three pirate groups, he just wanted to make sure that he could get the method of practicing Haki 100%. If any accidents happened because of the fighting, it would not be worth it.
As darkness fell at night, accompanied by the sound of cannon fire, an iron fence wall of the mansion was blown open by a cannon. At the same time, a large number of ferocious pirates rushed in screaming.
“Everyone charge, kill all the men, you can do whatever you want with the women, I only want the domineering training method!” A ferocious man who was more than five meters tall and carrying a huge cannon like a little giant rushed into the blown-up wall first and shouted.
This person is none other than the captain of the Heavy Artillery Pirates, Barro!
“Hurry, that bastard Barlow has already started. We must not let him get the domineering training method first!” On the other side of the wall, a man with a gloomy look suddenly changed his face when he heard the sound of gunfire, and immediately shouted at his men who were surging behind him.
This gloomy man is also the captain of the Mad Dog Pirate Ship, Blaze, who wants to steal the method of practicing Haki!
Although Blaise said this, one of his men behind him pointed the ancient cannon directly at the wall, ignited it and fired it. The cannonballs immediately blew up the wall.
The sound of fighting was deafening. The Heavy Artillery Pirates and the Mad Dog Pirates rushed into the courtyard of the mansion almost at the same time, and immediately engaged in a bloody and brutal fight with the many guards inside.
The guards and pirates died one after another in the fight between each other. At the same time, due to the gap in strength, although the guards had the advantage in numbers, they were still defeated.
“The fight is really fierce!” Not far from the mansion, Di Mu, who was disguised as a guard and even had his face disguised, looked at the fire and sounds coming from not far away in the courtyard and chuckled. Then he ran towards the gate of the mansion in a hurry.
Di Mu has been hiding in the dark since he arrived here, waiting for the three pirate groups to launch an attack and create chaos before sneaking in.
“Don’t stay here, the enemy ahead is almost unstoppable, go and help!” Di Mu, who was pretending to be asking for help, arrived at the closed gate of the mansion and shouted breathlessly to the dozen or so guards guarding the gate.
These guards had already noticed the fighting in the distance, and they were shocked when they heard Di Mu’s words. If the front line was lost, they would be doomed.
After seeing Di Mu’s outstanding performance, the guards didn’t think much and hurriedly went over with guns to support the fighting.
Di Mu did not move. When he saw that he had easily deceived the guards at the gate, he chuckled, pushed open the tightly closed door, and walked in with a swagger.
In the hall of a mansion that was decorated lavishly and elegantly, more than twenty guards were nervously protecting a group of well-dressed and luxurious people in the center.
The group of people protected by the guards included a thin old man with a mustache, an older, slightly plump lady, a young woman who was probably less than 20 years old, and two boys and girls who were about fourteen or fifteen years old.
“What’s the situation outside!” Seeing Di Mu, disguised as a guard, coming in, the thin old man with a mustache shouted hurriedly.
This old man was obviously the head of the family, that is, the noble who had obtained the method of practicing domineering power. At this moment, he was undoubtedly full of tension.
(Please collect and give flowers. If you are able, it would be best if you could give me some reward. Thank you!)
Chapter 35: Smart People Don’t Live Long (Old Version)
“Well, the guards outside should be able to hold on for a while!” Di Mu walked forward with a smile.
Hearing this answer, the thin old man felt relieved, but also became more nervous. Although the guards temporarily blocked the enemy’s attack, they would certainly not be able to hold on for long.
“Wait a minute, why haven’t I seen you!” Just as Di Mu walked forward and came in front of the guards and nobles, suddenly a captain of the guards looked at Di Mu in confusion, and then suddenly shouted.
Di Mu simply disguised himself to be more mature and in line with the guard’s age, instead of disguising himself as someone else. After all, he didn’t have any good skills.
Obviously, the captain of the guard seemed to recognize that Di Mu was not any of their guards. He became alert and immediately stopped Di Mu from approaching. He even raised the rifle in his hand and aimed it nervously at Di Mu.
Without waiting for the other guards and the thin old man to react, at the sudden command of the guard captain, Di Mu directly grasped the “Moxue” which was carried behind his back even though it was a disguise.
“Smart people don’t live long!” Di Mu sighed in his heart, but his hands were not slow. As the sword hummed as the blade was unsheathed, he slashed out with the sword.
The sword whistled, and the captain of the guards along with several nearby guards were cut in half, and blood gushed out.
With a tap of his foot, Di Mu quickly started the cleaning work as his identity had been exposed. His figure shuttled between the guards like a phantom in an instant, and he passed by them before they even had a chance to resist and appeared in front of the thin old man.
Phew～～～!
The sound of blood splashing rang out almost at the same time. Behind Di Mu, the guards whose bodies seemed to be stiff were suddenly covered with blood. Their bodies were broken into two and scattered on the ground in an instant.
“Ah~!” The sudden scene made the young woman next to the thin old man let out a shrill scream. Her slender white legs went limp and she fell to the ground. Even yellowish unknown water stains soon appeared under her body.
The two boys and girls also showed frightened expressions at once and followed closely behind the slightly plump woman who was also terrified.
“You are also one of those people outside!” The thin old man swallowed his saliva, took several steps back in panic, and looked at Di Mu in disbelief.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a pirate. Of course, if you don’t give me the method of practicing domineering now, I don’t mind playing the role of a pirate!” Di Mu casually threw the blood-stained “Moxue” onto the ground, tilted his head and looked at the other party with a smile.
The thin old man trembled, but his face showed stubbornness. He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t even think about it. I will not give my domineering training method to anyone!”
Strange blood splattered, and the plump woman who was suspected to be the old man’s wife stiffened, and her head slid directly from her shoulders, and the blood dyed the terrified boys and girls behind her all over.
“No, you are a devil. You actually killed my mother. I will kill you!” Looking at the headless body of the slightly plump woman lying powerlessly on the ground, the young man behind her rushed towards Di Mu in fear as if he had gone crazy.
But before the boy could get close, Di Mu, who had just chopped off the plump woman’s head, swung his sword again, and it instantly turned into a blood-red sword light and slashed across the boy’s neck.
Another head flew up, and the boy’s headless body staggered to the ground. The girl and the young woman screamed in panic, their faces full of despair.
“Are you sure you want to persist? My sword is bloodthirsty. These two people should be your wife and son. Next, I will kill your two daughters!” Di Mu said lightly.
“Don’t kill me, I’m not this old guy’s daughter, don’t kill me!” Before the thin old man could say anything, the young woman screamed and knelt down at Di Mu’s feet with pleading eyes.
Di Mu looked at the other person with some surprise. After seeing her beautiful face and seductive figure, he suddenly realized that he almost made a mistake. This woman should be a concubine or something like that.
Di Mu glanced at the thin old man with an ugly look in his eyes. He really couldn’t tell that the man still had so much energy at such an old age. Maybe he was so thin because he worked too hard.
“Hehe, it’s all the same. If this old man doesn’t hand over what I want, you will still die!” Di Mu raised his leg and kicked away the young woman who wanted to hug his legs, then put “Moxue” on the other’s neck and said in a vicious tone.
The young woman panicked and quickly looked at the thin old man, but the thin old man kept a stern face and had no intention of speaking. She was immediately disappointed, but soon her eyes showed determination and anger.
“Don’t kill me, I know where the thing you are talking about is. As long as you don’t kill me, I will take you to where it is hidden!” The young woman hurriedly said to Di Mu.
“Really?!” Di Mu’s eyes lit up.
The thin old man couldn’t help it, and cursed at the young woman: “Bitch, stop pretending. I haven’t told anyone about the domineering training method. Do you think they will believe it?”
“You are the bitch. Do you really think I don’t know, old man? I have seen that cultivation method in the vault behind the secret door of your study a long time ago!” The young woman immediately retorted sarcastically, looking at Di Mu in a demanding manner.
Hearing the young woman’s words, the thin man’s face suddenly changed, and his already ugly face suddenly became ashen and frightened.
Di Mu glanced at the two men’s faces with interest. As expected, a beautiful young woman would never be with an old man because of some crappy love, but for some selfish motive.
The situation is now very clear. The thin old man hid the method of practicing domineering power in a hidden vault, but he didn’t know that the young woman had been eyeing his wealth. As a result, when she found the wealth, she also discovered the method of practicing domineering power.
“How lucky! It seems that you are of no use. But don’t worry, I will reunite your family!” Di Mu had already seen that the young woman’s words were true. He looked at the thin old man with amusement and raised ‘Moxue’ and slashed with the sword without hesitation.
The thin old man and his lovely daughter didn’t even have a chance to react before their bodies were cut in half by the sword wave, turning into bloody corpses.
(Please collect and give flowers. If you are able, please give some reward. Thank you!)
Chapter 36 All appearances (old version)
Seeing Di Mu’s ruthless killing, the flattering young woman trembled, full of fear, but also looked at Di Mu with hope.
Di Mu looked down at the man kneeling on the ground, put down Ink Blood and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, I am a man of my word. As long as you lead me to find what I want, I will not kill you!”
What else could the young woman say? She nodded quickly, then stood up and led Di Mu to the second floor of the mansion, and finally came to a study.
The young woman was obviously very familiar with this place. After entering the study, she immediately found an ordinary book on the bookcase. Then she pulled it, and the bookcase seemed to have triggered a mechanism and immediately opened to both sides, revealing a secret door.
The young woman took the initiative to lead Di Mu into the secret door, which turned out to be a secret room. Not only were there treasure chests of various sizes neatly arranged, but also gold and silver utensils could be seen everywhere.
“Sir, take a look. Is this the domineering practice method you mentioned?” The young woman quickly opened one of the small treasure chests, took out a luxurious book made of unknown material, and handed it to Di Mu in a flattering manner.
Di Mu took it immediately and then began to read it carefully.
Although he didn’t know the specific method of cultivating domineering aura, it was easy to judge whether it was true. After all, Di Mu had some understanding of the effects and abilities of domineering aura.
“Are the methods of practicing Armament Haki and Observation Haki recorded in detail?” After Di Mu roughly flipped through the book, he confirmed that it was real. It also recorded the other two-color Haki besides the Domineering Haki that could not be practiced.
He felt relieved that he had finally succeeded in obtaining the domineering cultivation method. Di Mu quickly put the luxurious book close to his body in his arms.
After doing everything, Di Mu looked at the young woman, and then he saw that she was looking at him nervously, and from time to time she was stealing glances at the gold and silver treasures in the secret room, her eyes full of greed.
“Okay, you have fulfilled your promise. I won’t kill you from now on. Of course, I advise you to escape early, as the pirates outside may be about to come in!” After Di Mu finished speaking, he didn’t care about the other party’s reaction. He turned around and left the secret room. Then he went down to the second floor except for the study.
The young woman looked at Di Mu who was leaving, then looked at the gold and silver treasures in the secret room. She gritted her teeth, picked up a treasure chest, turned around and ran away.
Treasures are good, but life is more important. Although she only got a treasure chest, the treasure inside is enough for her to live a wealthy life.
After Di Mu returned to the first floor lobby, he did not see the young woman coming down. He didn’t know whether she stayed in the secret room or had another escape route. Of course, he was not interested in paying attention.
Perhaps the method of practicing domineering power that Di Mu obtained was too simple, and even God could not tolerate it. Just when he returned to the hall, the door was suddenly blown open by a cannonball, and a large number of people rushed in.
“Barro, do you want to die? How dare you snatch things from me!”
“Who do you think you are, Blaise? So what if I rob you!”
There were obviously two groups of people rushing into the hall, one was from the Heavy Artillery Pirates, and the other was from the Mad Dog Pirates. Leaders among them were the captains of the two groups, Barro and Blaise.
The two men rushed into the hall quickly while being on guard and cursing, but suddenly they were attracted by the corpses all over the hall and Di Mu who was standing among the corpses.
“They arrived pretty quickly!” Di Mu was not afraid at all because of the ferocious gazes from the two waves of pirates on the opposite side. Instead, he twisted his neck and looked at them with interest accompanied by a crackling sound.
Di Mu, who had already obtained information about the Heavy Artillery Pirates and the Mad Dog Pirates from the Dark Exchange, naturally recognized the captains of the two pirate groups at a glance, and his eyes were mainly focused on Barlow and Blaise.
At this moment, suddenly the wall on one side of the mansion was blown up by a cannonball, and at the same time another wave of pirates rushed in.
“Hahaha, Barro and Blaise, you two idiots, thank you very much for getting rid of the guards. Now the domineering training method belongs to me!” The first of the pirates who broke through the wall was a man with a disgusting appearance, drooling while speaking.
This disgusting man is none other than Nochi, the captain of the Ogre Pirates who has not appeared before!
Nochi is obviously a smart man. When the Heavy Artillery Pirates and the Mad Dog Pirates were fighting with the mansion guards, he had been hiding in the dark with his men. He only appeared now that the guards were all killed. No doubt, he was planning to let the first two pirate groups charge forward while he would reap the benefits from behind.
However, when Nuoqi and his men broke into the mansion, he found that the situation seemed a little beyond his expectations. He was stunned when he saw the corpses all over the hall and Di Mu standing beside him with an innocent look on his face.
“What’s going on? Could it be that some other force broke in when those two idiots, Barlow and Blaise, were dealing with the guards?” Nochi was shocked and immediately looked at Di Mu, the most suspicious person.
“Are all of them on stage? It’s time for the show to begin!” Di Mu said to himself as he looked at the scene that suddenly became eerily quiet, and suddenly tightened his grip on the ‘Ink Blood’ that he had been holding in his hand.
As he took a step, the ground cracked and Di Mu rushed towards the Heavy Artillery Pirates and the Mad Dog Pirates at the door like lightning. At the same time, he swung his sword horizontally, and a huge sword wave burst out.
Passive attack is not Di Mu’s favorite method. He prefers to take the initiative. Since he has been blocked here, he might as well go for a big killing show.
“Not good~!”
“Oops!”
The sudden sword wave made Barlow and Blaise, who were standing in the front, change their expressions. They immediately retreated quickly and even blocked their men behind them.
The sword wave slashed and killed the pirates who hadn’t reacted yet. They had just broken into the room and were standing too close together, so that wherever the sword wave passed, the pirates’ bodies were broken in half as blood spurted out.
The door of the mansion was also cut into two thick cracks by the sharp sword wave, and all the people who entered the mansion were killed except Barlow and Blaise who retreated.
(Whether it is collection, flowers, or rewards, every penny you put in is a motivation for Liuguang to write!)
Chapter 37: Natural Ability User (Old Version)
“Kill, kill him for me!”
“Asshole, you actually dared to kill our Heavy Artillery Pirates. Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Come on, kill them all!” After Blaise and Barlow dodged the sword wave’s attack, they stood behind the mansion and yelled in frustration.
The people from the two pirate groups were awakened by their captain’s yelling, and soon their eyes became bloodshot. They roared and rushed into the hall of the mansion through the broken door.
At the same time, Di Mu did not slow down, waving “Moxue”, rushed into the group of pirates with excitement on his face, and madly cut the passing pirates in half.
“Hurry, don’t let that man escape, catch him for me!” Nochi also reacted and yelled at his men behind him.
It was very possible that Di Mu was the one who broke into the mansion, and he might even have obtained the domineering cultivation method. Nuoqi was naturally very anxious, fearing that Di Mu would escape.
Will Di Mu run away? The answer is of course no. Fighting and killing people are his favorites. It is rare that he can kill so happily. He will never leave until he feels comfortable.
Broken limbs and arms flew everywhere, and splattered blood seemed to continue falling like raindrops. Di Mu shuttled among the pirates at the amazing speed of a ninja, and his “Ink Blood” turned a strange blood-red color as he continued to swing and slash.
Suddenly, a huge sound of artillery fire rang out, and a cannonball as big as a head, carrying a whistling wind, rushed towards where Di Mu was, who was killing pirates indiscriminately.
He turned around and slashed with his sword. The shell immediately broke into two halves and flew past Di Mu on both sides, and then fell directly into the group of pirates behind him. With two explosions, more than a dozen pirates were blown away with screams, and some were either dead or disabled.
The one who launched the artillery fire was none other than Barro, the captain of the Heavy Artillery Pirates. When he saw Di Mu being so ferocious, he became furious and wanted to kill Di Mu with a cannonball.
Bang bang bang～～!
Not caring about the severed shells that killed his own people, Barlow saw that his attack had no effect, and with bloodthirstiness he fired several more shells at Di Mu.
Di Mu’s legs flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the original place. In the blink of an eye, he appeared more than ten meters away. Then he saw that the place where he was originally was bombed by continuous artillery shells, creating a big pit, and even the strong wind swept towards him.
Suddenly, a roar like a dog barking came from behind Di Mu, and Di Mu almost immediately turned around and slashed with his sword.
A sharp claw collided with the ‘ink blood’, and the two powerful forces immediately rolled up a whistling air wave, and the ground was also cracked under the impact.
Opposite Di Mu was a three-meter-tall, muscular humanoid hound staring at him with disgusting saliva drooling. He was none other than Blaise, the captain of the Mad Dog Pirates, and also the user of the Animal-type Dog-Dog Fruit, the Hound Form Devil Fruit.
With a roar-like bark, Blaise saw that his claw attack was blocked, and suddenly he opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit towards Di Mu’s head ferociously.
Di Mu didn’t want to be bitten by the dog, so he raised his right foot and kicked straight at the dog’s head that was approaching him.
The powerful leg force and the violent slashing wave like a beam of light kicked Blaise on the chin, causing his head to be instantly raised high. His whole body was kicked high into the air, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
Just when Di Mu was entangled with Blaise, Barlow took the opportunity to launch an attack. Not only did he shoot several shells at Di Mu, he also used the cannon barrel as a weapon and rushed towards Di Mu fiercely.
When Di Mu heard the whistling sound coming from behind, he jumped into the air without hesitation. At the same time, he turned quickly using the Moon Step and swooped down towards Barlow who was rushing towards him.
Lightning burst out from his body and instantly lingered on the “ink blood”. Di Mu slashed the cannon barrel that Barro had hurriedly raised to block with his sword.
Under the Magnetic Weapon Slash that was comparable to the realm of cutting iron, the iron barrel broke with a sound, and “Ink Blood” slashed the astonished Barlow without any hindrance. A sword wave flashing with electric current also rushed out from behind him, cutting off several pirates behind him and leaving a long and narrow crack on the ground.
“Sorry, you are too weak. I have to start with you among the three captains!” Di Mu muttered as he watched the corpse split into two halves and fell to the ground on both sides. He then put away his sword and looked at the terrified pirates around him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air, and Di Mu retreated quickly. Several gray spears appeared like arrows, and with a few sharp sounds, one third of them shot into the ground where Di Mu was originally.
“You’re quite capable, kid. You actually managed to kill that idiot Barlow. But that’s all you can do!” Nochi, who looked like a big boss behind the scenes, came over surrounded by his men, looking at Di Mu with a grim smile.
Di Mu glanced at the spear that had just attacked him. After seeing that the spear quickly turned into a pool of mud flowing on the ground, he knew in his heart that the information he got from the Dark Exchange was true.
“This is a bit troublesome. If I don’t know how to use domineering power against people with natural abilities, I’ll be at a disadvantage!” Di Mu muttered to himself.
Among the three pirate groups that have set their sights on the method of practicing Haki, only Baro who has been killed by Di Mu is not a Devil Fruit user, while Blaise and Nochi are both Devil Fruit users.
Blaise is an animal-type Dog-Dog Fruit user in hound form, but Nochi’s devil fruit ability surprised Di Mu when he first learned about it.
Natural Swamp Fruit, yes, Nochi’s devil fruit ability is the extremely rare natural type among the three major devil fruit types, and it is also the devil fruit ability of Capri, who is known as the weakest natural type ability user in the original work.
Obviously, no one knows where Cabri is now, and even the user of his devil fruit belongs to someone else.
Fortunately, although Di Mu does not have domineering power, he still has the seastone dagger. When he learned about the ability of Nochi’s devil fruit, he was very glad that he robbed the auction house in Beihai.
Chapter 38: Cleaning the battlefield (old version)
Looking at the opponent who seemed to be determined to eat him, Di Mu glanced at the pirates around him and Blaise who fell to the ground in a mess, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and was about to eat him fiercely.
“Well, clear out the monsters first, and then deal with the BOSS!” Di Mu sorted out the order of killing in his mind in an instant, and his legs flashed at the same time.
Di Mu rushed out as if teleporting, avoiding where Nochi was and rushed directly towards the hunting dog that he had to deal with first.
With Di Mu’s current Dao strength exceeding 1,500, his speed of shaving was undoubtedly as fast as lightning, and he arrived in front of Blaise almost instantly.
Without any pause, electric light swirled around the “ink blood”, and Di Mu pushed forward and slashed, aiming directly at the opponent’s most vulnerable neck.
The wildness and instincts of animals are powerful. Although Blaise is a human, after eating the animal-type devil fruit, he also rejected the wild instincts of the animal he belonged to.
Although he did not see through Di Mu’s actions, his pupils shrank instinctively and he immediately leaned back.
A trickle of blood spurted out, and a thin line of blood was cut on Blaise’s throat. A sword wave of electric electricity flew behind him almost along his tilted face, creating a whistling air wave, and even cut off a large tree planted not far away.
Blaise’s heart was beating violently. If he had reacted a little slower, his neck would not have been cut but directly cut off. His back fell heavily to the ground, but he did not dare to stop for a moment and quickly rolled away.
“What the hell are you standing there for? Why don’t you shoot him!” Blaise got up in a panic, his face flushed red, and yelled at his men angrily.
The pirates of the Mad Dog Pirates also reacted and hurriedly raised their guns to shoot. The bullets swept towards Di Mu like a rainstorm.
Not only the Mad Dog Pirates, but also the pirates of the Heavy Artillery Pirates were shooting at Di Mu frantically. Their captain was killed by Di Mu, so naturally they wanted revenge.
Di Mu’s weak and boneless body was twisted strangely, and then the airflow caused by the bullets allowed him to remain unharmed in the rain of bullets.
“Captain, are we going to take action too?” One of Nochi’s men couldn’t help but step forward and ask his captain.
“No need, we just need to clean up the mess. Let him help us get rid of the people from the Heavy Artillery Pirates and the Mad Dog Pirates!” Nochi said with a sinister smile.
Pirates are all selfish. Since Di Mu also came here for the method of practicing domineering, it proves that Di Mu does not know how to be domineering. And he is a user of natural abilities, so he naturally has an absolute advantage.
After defeating Di Mu, Nochi was still not satisfied. Instead, he wanted to use Di Mu’s hand to eliminate the other two pirate groups and make himself the sole winner.
Of course, in order to prevent Di Mu from escaping in the chaos, Nochi still had his men surround him and be ready to take action at any time.
Just when the Ogre Pirates surrounded them, Di Mu dodged bullets and suddenly soared into the sky, using the Moon Step to rush towards Blaise.
This time Blaise was not so lucky. After discovering the opponent’s reaction speed and flexibility, Di Mu slashed the ‘ink blood’ surrounded by lightning the moment he got close to him, forming a dense sword wave net.
Hiss, hiss, hiss～～～!
Although Blaise wanted to dodge and even raised his arms to block, his body was obviously not harder than steel. The sword wave swept through, leaving criss-crossing cracks on the ground like a chessboard, and he was chopped into pieces.
The pirates around saw Di Mu kill another captain and opened fire in shock and anger. Di Mu, who had just attacked with all his strength, had just used up his old strength and was about to regain his new strength, so he immediately used the iron block.
Dozens of bullets hit Di Mu’s expanded and contracted body. The impact of the bullets made holes in his clothes, but the bullets fell off his body weakly.
With the use of the iron block, Di Mu’s body strength is no less than that of real steel, and ordinary bullets are no longer a threat to him.
Without caring about the damage to his clothes, Di Mu rushed towards the pirates with bloodthirstiness after removing the iron block. He swung his sword with the Ciwu Zhan and killed the wailing pirates in large numbers as if he was harvesting straw.
In just less than five minutes, the Heavy Artillery Pirates and the Mad Dog Pirates, like their captain, had turned into broken corpses, as if they were pushed together to form a hill, and on the hill of corpses was Di Mu, who looked unsatisfied.
Huh~!
There was a whistling sound as the air was broken. When the two major pirate groups were wiped out, Nochi acted without hesitation. He pulled his hands towards his side and threw out two solidified mud spears, shooting directly at Di Mu on the mountain of corpses.
With a swing of the sword, the mud spear that was as hard as stone was cut into pieces and flew all around. Di Mu looked at Nochi coldly and walked down the pile of corpses step by step.
The monsters have been almost cleared, and the next step is to naturally deal with the big boss.
Seeing his mud spear being easily cut off, Nochi raised his eyebrows, but then he showed a disgusting smile, and swamp mud continued to flow out of his body, turning the ground near him into a swamp.
“Thank you very much for helping me get rid of those two trash pirate groups. As long as you are willing to hand over the domineering training method, I can spare one of your lives!” Nochi said in a bewitching tone.
Di Mu looked at him as if he were an idiot: “Do you think a pirate’s words are credible? But you are right about one thing. The method of practicing domineering power is indeed with me. You can get it as long as you kill me!”
Di Mu made no secret of the fact that he had a domineering training method, and after he finished speaking, he rushed towards the pirates of the nearby Ogre Pirates without saying a word.
Because the pirates from the Ogre Pirates did not take action before, Di Mu did not cause any trouble. But now that they have to deal with the big boss, there is no need for these pirates to stay alive.
When Nochi heard Di Mu admit that he had obtained the method of practicing domineering power, his eyes suddenly lit up, but when he saw Di Mu rushing towards his men, he was shocked.
From Di Mu’s performance of killing the Heavy Artillery Pirates and the Mad Dog Pirates just now, it is enough to show that Di Mu is a very powerful swordsman, and his subordinates are no match for him.
Chapter 39: Deep in the Quagmire (Old Version)
Without any hesitation, Nochi, who didn’t want to become a commander without troops, immediately opened his arms, and a large amount of swamp mud gushed out, rushing towards Di Mu like a wave.
Di Mu noticed the swamp mud coming out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately stepped on it and soared into the sky. While avoiding the swamp mud, he also took moon steps and kept swinging his sword at the pirates around him.
Although they did not use the Magnetic Slash, the first-class, top-level sword waves were not something these pirates could resist. When a large number of sword waves swept down, the pirates were immediately subjected to horrible cutting and were constantly cut into several pieces.
“Damn it!” Nochi suddenly realized that he had overlooked one point. Di Mu could not hurt him as a person with natural abilities, but it was not easy for him to deal with Di Mu. He couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
The swamp mud emerged and then solidified in an instant. Nochi used his ability to create a huge saber that seemed to be made of steel, and then rushed out in anger.
The swamp mud under his feet erupted like a volcano. Nochi quickly rushed into the sky and appeared on the side of Di Mu who was walking on the Moon Step. Then he swung his saber and slashed violently.
Di Mu did not expect that the other party could actually think of such a method to fly into the sky. When he reacted, he was already a step slow. He immediately stopped the Moon Step and used the iron block.
In addition to being a user of nature-type abilities, Nochi himself is also quite strong, especially his power is extremely powerful. His Zanpakuto slashed heavily on Di Mu’s shoulder, causing Di Mu to groan. He then rushed towards the ground like a meteor, creating a big hole and raising a large cloud of dust.
But in just a moment, a whistling wave swept out from the dust, and Di Mu, whose clothes were torn, rushed out like an arrow and landed more than ten meters away.
Almost at the moment Di Mu left, seven or eight mud spears fell from the sky and shot into the big pit. They were thrown by Nochi who fell to the ground and wanted to pursue the victory.
Although Di Mu used an iron block to defend himself, he was still injured on his left shoulder. Under his torn clothes were bruised muscles, and even his shoulder blade was cracked.
“I was a little careless. I didn’t expect that this guy didn’t rely entirely on the ability of the devil fruit!” Di Mu felt the pain in his shoulder. While frowning, his right hand instantly slashed at the falling opponent with a sword.
The sword wave rushed out, creating a whistling air wave like a crescent moon and instantly passed through Nochi’s body, but there was no blood, only a large amount of swamp mud.
Nochi had already been elementalized after being attacked, and his body turned into swamp mud and fell to the ground with a plop.
Although he did not hurt the opponent, Di Mu’s goal had been achieved. While Nochi was gathering swamp mud to recover, Di Mu immediately killed the remaining pirates.
Gunshots and screams continued to ring out, but quickly weakened and disappeared. In order to deal with Nochi with all his strength, Di Mu burst out with all his normal fighting strength.
He swung his sword, and the dazzling sword wave slashed through the bodies of more than a dozen pirates like the scythe of the god of death, causing half of their bodies to break and fly away.
Another sideways kick was thrown out, and the powerful slashing wave instantly tore through five or six pirates, causing blood to spurt out.
Nochi brought more than a hundred men with him, many of whom had been killed by Di Mu before. At this time, they were all killed in a few breaths by Di Mu’s lightning killing speed.
When Nochi’s body recovered, Di Mu just cut off the bodies of the last few pirates with a sword, and they died screaming.
“Bastard, I’m going to kill you!” Nochi was furious. His lower body turned into swamp mud and he rushed out quickly. A huge saber solidified in his hand again and he slashed towards Di Mu violently.
Di Mu would not be careless this time. He took a step forward after an instant reaction and swung his sword as if he was drawing a saber. The “Ink Blood” suddenly collided fiercely with the saber, causing a loud roar.
A whistling air current swept in all directions between the two men, and at the same time the ground began to crack. Di Mu’s eyes were cold, and he did not give in. He even held the saber, and the blade kept cutting into the solidified mud, and he was about to cut it off.
In a head-on collision, it is obvious that Di Mu’s strength is even greater than that of Nochi, especially in terms of slashing. Although the solidified mud saber is as hard as steel, “Moxue” is not an ordinary sword either.
Snap~!
But in an instant, the saber broke with a sound, and Di Mu took advantage of the situation to kick out with his right leg, and a powerful slashing wave suddenly swept across.
Nochi snorted coldly. Although he was not afraid of attacks without domineering power, he did not want to bear the attack every time. A large amount of swamp mud suddenly erupted under his feet, forming a huge solidified mud wall.
The slashing wave hit the wall, causing the swamp mud that looked like stone to splash wildly, and the wall only held for a moment before it was shattered.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Nochi also retreated, and swamp mud burst out of his body, causing a swamp to form on the ground. In the blink of an eye, it spread to Di Mu’s feet, causing Di Mu’s legs to sink into the swamp mud.
“You’re dead. Once you’re entangled in my swamp mud, the more you struggle, the deeper you’ll be stuck. You’ll never be able to escape!” Nochi grinned bloodthirstily and opened his arms. Large amounts of swamp mud emerged and then turned into arrows, all aimed at Di Mu who was stuck in the quagmire.
Di Mu’s pupils shrank. At the moment when thousands of mud arrows burst out from the swamp mud, his legs trapped in the swamp burst out with strong electric energy.
At the critical moment, the swamp mud wrapped around Di Mu’s legs was dispersed by the electric current energy. Di Mu soared into the sky in an instant, and thousands of mud arrows shot into the swamp like a rainstorm, and densely packed small holes appeared.
The ‘electric current mode’ was activated, and the moment he flew into the sky, the flashing electric current energy from his legs covered Di Mu’s entire body, greatly improving all the cells in his body.
His feet stepped on the air, creating a strong sonic boom. Di Mu turned into real lightning that flashed and refracted in the air. In an instant, he appeared above Nochi, and at the same time, the “ink blood” surrounded by electric currents slashed down fiercely.
(Please give me collections and flowers. If you are able, please give me some rewards. Thank you!)
Chapter 40: Domineering Training (Old Version)
Before Nochi could see Di Mu’s movements clearly, he was cut into two halves, but the split body quickly turned into swamp mud and quickly stuck together.
“It’s useless. I’m a user of natural abilities. No matter how many times you attack me, it’s useless!” Nochi grinned grimly towards the sky, but suddenly a faint light flew out from Di Mu’s hand not far away and instantly shot into his chest.
Bright red blood splattered, and Nochi’s laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at the large dagger stuck in his chest in disbelief. Both his devil fruit ability and strength were lost in an instant. He shook for a while and then knelt weakly on the ground.
“Don’t you understand that villains die because they talk too much? And what did you just say? Can you say it again for me?” Di Mu, who had released the ‘current mode’, walked over, picked his ear with his left little finger, and looked at the other person with a playful expression.
Nochi’s face was full of unwillingness, and he opened his mouth to speak, but before he could open his mouth, Di Mu swung his sword and directly cut off the opponent’s head.
“I was just joking, but you took it seriously. I don’t have the habit of talking nonsense to my enemies!” Di Mu curled his lips, leaned over to pull out the seastone dagger from the corpse, wiped it clean with the other’s clothes, and then put it back into the dagger sheath at his waist.
After a killing spree, although he was slightly injured, he still successfully eliminated all the enemies. By the way, he also killed a natural ability user. Di Mu felt very satisfied.
Without having to worry about being disturbed, Di Mu returned to the study in the mansion, packed up all the treasures in the secret room, and left in a swagger.
Although he had no interest in money, after visiting the Dark Exchange, Di Mu deeply understood the meaning of the saying “Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible.”
Carrying a large amount of wealth and domineering cultivation methods, Di Mu went straight back to the port, then took a safe ship to leave Tanluo Island and returned to Sanman Island.
After one (night), Di Mu successfully returned to the dock on the Sanman Island and returned the rented boat. He then checked the repair speed of his own boat.
After paying the cost of repairs and instructing his boat to stay in the dock for a while, Di Mu bought a beautiful and spacious house in the town on the island and settled down there.
Di Mu, who knew the importance of domineering power, now had obtained the method of cultivating domineering power. Naturally, he was prepared to practice it well and was not in a hurry to set sail immediately.
Hiding in the room of the mansion, Di Mu looked at the luxurious book in his hand with a complicated expression, and after a long time he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
“Young age is indeed a flaw. I didn’t expect that even cultivating domineering power would be like this!” Di Mu looked heartbroken.
There was a reason why he looked like this. He had just carefully read the luxurious book that recorded the methods of practicing Haki, but he saw that the practice of Armament Haki actually required physical development.
According to what is said in the books, Armament Haki is linked to physical development, and it is best to practice it when the body is almost fully developed, that is, at least sixteen years old. Otherwise, it will damage the foundation of the body and even affect physical development.
Di Mu carefully recalled some of the information about Armament Haki in the original work, and he really didn’t find anyone who learned it when they were young.
Just like Luffy, Garp trained him to be the strongest marine, but he only gave physical training to Luffy when he was a child and never taught him Armament Haki.
We can also see some clues from here. I’m afraid Garp also knows that practicing Armament Haki too early will have side effects, so he has kept it secret.
Di Mu’s face was dark. Although he wanted to learn Armament Haki, he would not joke with his own body. He did not want to become a dwarf or hurt his body just for the sake of temporary strength.
Fortunately, although it is impossible to cultivate Armament Haki, Observation Haki does not have so many requirements.
Di Mu’s expression gradually relaxed, and his attention was quickly focused on the method of practicing the Observation Haki recorded in the book.
As long as a person is alive, the body will make special sounds. The Observation Haki is able to predict the opponent’s next move and position through these sounds. At the same time, the range can be expanded through training.
In addition, the more advanced Observation Haki can even hear the thoughts of others, give speeches to others, and achieve the magical effect of seeing the short future.
Of course, as a beginner, the first step for Di Mu to practice Observation Haki is to maximize his hearing.
According to what is written in books, if one wants to develop perfect hearing, the method is to lock oneself in a closed dark room, put one hundred hornets in it, and cover one’s body with honey that is attractive to hornets. Then one can use one’s hearing to identify the hornets’ attacks and improve one’s hearing.
“Is this thing accurate? Why do I feel like the days ahead will be miserable!” Seeing the first step in practicing the Observation Haki, Di Mu was terrified. He was going to turn into a pig’s head.
But now there is no other choice at all. He cannot practice Armament Haki for the time being, so Di Mu must practice Observation Haki.
Gritting his teeth, Di Mu decided to practice according to the instructions in the book. He left the house directly and bought a lot of honey juice from the town. He also went to the back mountain to find a hornet’s nest, carefully sealed it and brought it back.
He sealed the window of a house in the courtyard and covered it with black cloth to prevent any light from coming in. After Di Mu took off all his clothes, he smeared honey all over his body. Then he closed the door and opened the cover that trapped hundreds of hornets in the darkness.
Buzz~!
A creepy sound of flapping wings rang out in the dark room. In just a moment, the smell lured Di Mu, whose heart was pounding.
“Ah~!” The shrill screams suddenly echoed in the room, making those who heard it sad and heard it cry.
It turns out that for a normal person, it is impossible to resist hundreds of ferocious hornets when suddenly finding oneself in darkness and losing vision.
Chapter 41: Ultimate Hearing (Old Version)
Half an hour later, when the door was opened, a humanoid creature walked out.
The reason why it is described as a humanoid creature is because this creature no longer looks like a human. Its head is swollen like a pig’s head, and its body is covered with red lumps of flesh the size of a child’s fist.
“Horn!” Di Mu wailed, but his face was too swollen that made his speech unclear. It also affected the wasp hives on his face, and he kept grimacing, with tears almost coming out.
But despite the pain, Di Mu used electrotherapy to recover immediately after arriving at the yard.
Hornets can also sting people to death. Although Di Mu has a physical fitness that exceeds that of ordinary people, it will still cause damage to his body over time, so he needs timely treatment.
The recovery effect of electrotherapy is very powerful. It not only eliminates the toxicity of the hornet, but also makes the swelling of the hornet blisters on Di Mu’s body subside at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After his body recovered, Di Mu, who was naked, still had a lingering fear on his face. Using wasps to train his hearing was simply terrifying. And the key point was that his little brother had been stung several times just now, which was simply too painful.
But what else could he do? In order to learn the Observation Haki, Di Mu walked back to the house with trembling legs, and then closed the door. Soon, shrill screams were heard again.
Relying on the electrotherapy recovery ability brought by the electric current energy, Di Mu felt like he was in a nightmare for the next three months, turning into a pig head dozens of times every day.
However, the effect was very significant. While Di Mu was being tortured to death by the hornets, his hearing improved at an alarming rate due to the nightmare. In the end, the number of hornets increased from 100 to 10,000, filling the entire room with the buzzing sound of their wings.
Three months later, Di Mu walked out of the closed room with a refreshed look on his face, without any wasp spots on his body.
“I finally succeeded!” Di Mu burst into tears and sighed excitedly to the sky.
When the number of hornets reaches 10,000 and no one is stung, it means that the first stage of Observation Haki, the ultimate hearing, has been completed.
When Di Mu thought that he would no longer have to suffer from being stung by wasps in the future, he was naturally very excited and wanted to laugh out loud.
But in the end, in order not to appear so childish, Di Mu still held back, and at the same time he also felt the effect of his ultimate hearing.
Because it was not awakened suddenly but obtained through practice, Di Mu’s first stage of Observation Haki would not be uncontrollable.
He concentrated his consciousness on listening, and soon, a lot of noisy sounds appeared in Di Mu’s ears.
There were the sounds of hawking coming from the streets far away from the houses, the buzzing of mosquitoes that were faint and inaudible before but are now exceptionally clear, and the sounds of couples exercising coming from houses hundreds of meters away.
Although his head felt a little swollen due to the large amount of sounds rushing into his ears all at once, Di Mu still endured the discomfort, carefully felt and controlled himself, able to filter out unnecessary sounds and only listen to the sounds he wanted to hear.
After a long time, Di Mu’s ultimate hearing, which he had acquired through hard training, had reached the point where he could send and receive sounds freely. Unless he wanted to listen, no unnecessary sounds would come.
Although the previous three months were miserable, when Di Mu felt that his hearing had really reached an incredible level, he immediately forgot about the previous misery and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“Next, it’s time to practice the second stage of Observation Haki!” Di Mu muttered to himself, and quickly took out the luxurious book and started reading it.
The second stage of Observation Haki is a training method that is somewhat similar to swordsmanship.
Through meditation, you can ward off evil from the mind, and after eliminating distracting thoughts, you can concentrate your mind intensely on the life in the distance. When you cannot see clearly, stimulate your consciousness with extremely strong obsession and belief, and let your heart be extremely eager to see the life in the distance.
The first stage of Observation Haki is just an enlightenment state. Only when it is cultivated to the second stage, the ultimate hearing will evolve into true Observation Haki, and one can listen to the fluctuations and breath of life.
After learning the method of cultivation, Di Mu hired several people from the period and went to a wasteland on the island. He stood on a high slope and let the hired people move freely a few kilometers away. Then he began the second stage of cultivation of Observation Haki.
Perhaps because of his practice of ancient sword Zen, Di Mu had perfect control over his consciousness. Two months later, he could clearly see everything the hired men did from a distance of several kilometers.
Having reached this point, Di Mu’s Observation Haki was considered to have been initially cultivated. However, in order to memorize the Observation Haki, Di Mu still spent a month to master the Observation Haki to perfection.
It took Di Mu half a year from the beginning of his practice to the formation of his Observation Haki, and he also reaped the rewards. He could sense the life fluctuations and breath within a radius of about 100 meters with just a movement of his consciousness. He could even concentrate his Observation Haki in one place, and his perception range could reach 500 meters.
Of course, if you just listen or watch, the scope of exploration will be much wider.
The method of practicing Observation Haki recorded in the luxurious book that Di Mu obtained only covers the second stage of Observation Haki. What is recorded after that is only how to slowly enhance faith and obsession to expand the perception range and sensitivity of Observation Haki, as well as the method of practicing the next stage.
However, Di Mu’s practice of Observation Haki did not end there. Instead, he began to study how to integrate the ‘source of electromagnetics’ into the development of Observation Haki.
When practicing Observation Haki, Di Mu thought of Enelu, the user of the Thunder Fruit in the Sky Island arc.
In Sky Island, the Observation Haki is called the ‘Heart Net’, and Eneel has integrated radio waves into the ‘Heart Net’ through the development of the Thunder Fruit, greatly increasing his own hearing range, enough to cover the entire Sky Island.
Chapter 42: Old Acquaintance (Please collect! Please give flowers!) (Old version)
Although Di Mu’s current electric current energy is far less than that of Enel’s Thunder Fruit, don’t forget that the full name of electric waves is electromagnetic waves, which are generated by electricity and magnetism.
Di Mu’s ‘Source of Electromagnetism’ originally produces two kinds of electricity: electric current and magnetic force. It is definitely much simpler to generate electromagnetic waves than the simple Thunder Fruit. For this reason, Di Mu wants to integrate the ‘Source of Electromagnetism’ into his Observation Haki.
In the following days, Di Mu began to try to integrate the “source of electromagnetics” into the development of observation Haki.
——————————Please collect! Please give me flowers! ———————————————————————————
Another month passed. After Di Mu researched electromagnetic waves, the development initially achieved results. The perception range of his Observation Haki was directly expanded from the original 100 meters to 300 meters, and the range of concentrated targets could reach 800 meters.
This is just the initial development. It can be said that as Di Mu’s understanding of electromagnetic waves and observation Haki improves, his perception range will expand dramatically.
Of course, during the development, Di Mu also discovered that integrating electromagnetic waves into the observation Haki only increases the perception range, but does not increase the sensitivity of perception.
In other words, the sensitivity of Di Mu’s electromagnetic observation Haki depends entirely on the strength of Di Mu’s own observation Haki, and the level of his observation Haki will not be improved due to the integration of electromagnetic waves.
But even so, Di Mu was very happy. Expanding the perception range would definitely have only benefits and no disadvantages. Moreover, through development, he would have a deeper understanding of the ‘source of electromagnetism’.
Di Mu is not a person who is easily satisfied. After successfully developing the electromagnetic wave-based Observation Haki, he tried to compress the range of electromagnetic waves and Observation Haki to achieve an increase in sensitivity.
What’s more, after some tinkering, Di Mu really did fuse his Observation Haki through electromagnetic waves, so that the two were compressed into a ten-meter radius centered on himself under the condensation of the “source of electromagnetic energy”.
Di Mu experimented and found that after compressing the electromagnetic waves and observation Haki to a range of ten meters, he had an almost subtle perception. He would not miss even the slightest fluctuations of mosquitoes and ants, and could achieve the effect of prediction.
After his success, Di Mu named the compressed ten-meter perception range the “killing field”, which means that if the enemy steps into this field, he can instantly see through everything and kill him at the same time.
“Almost eight months have passed without me noticing!” In the yard, Di Mu stretched and said with emotion.
It took half a year to cultivate the Observation Haki, and it took nearly two months to integrate the electromagnetic waves with the Observation Haki and develop the “Killing Field”. Di Mu has stayed on the Sanlman Island for almost eight months.
Thinking of this, Di Mu’s eyes flashed slightly, and he picked up the “Moxue” placed on the stone table on the side, gently pulled out the blade, revealing the dark and sharp sword body.
It has been nearly eight months since I started drinking blood, and the ‘ink blood’ has become a little dull, but I should be able to drink it to my heart’s content next time.
During the nearly eight months on the Sanlman Island, although Di Mu lived a secluded life and disguised his face, his whereabouts were still revealed. Especially in recent days, when he was practicing the electromagnetic observation Haki, he sensed a lot of spying in the dark.
Carrying “Ink Blood” on his back, Di Mu walked out of the house, left the town as if he had done so in the past, and came to a wasteland where he once practiced his Observation Haki.
The flat terrain left no place for camouflage to hide. Di Mu turned around and looked at the figures coming towards him, with surprise and understanding in his eyes.
“It’s such an honor. I didn’t expect that Chief Instructor Carlod would come to me in person, and bring these people who should be called my ‘classmates’!” When several figures walked in and stopped, Di Mu chuckled and said playfully.
Carlod, who was once the chief instructor and highest commander of the North Sea CP distribution base where Di Mu was, is now much older than before, almost three years later. Not only does he have a head full of silver hair, but also many wrinkles on his face. Of course, he looks even colder and more stern when he looks at Di Mu.
Behind Carlod, three teenagers who were about thirteen or fourteen years old looked at Di Mu warily. They were the “classmates” that Di Mu mentioned, and they were the students in the same base as him.
Di Mu originally thought that it was the navy who were secretly spying on him, but after seeing Carlod and the others, he realized that they were members of the CP organization. Apparently, after nearly three years, the CP organization still had not given up hunting down this traitor.
“No. 110, no, Tim, you have defected from the CP organization for nearly three years. Now is the time for you to pay the price for your defection. I advise you to surrender and go back with me to confess your crime, otherwise today will be the day you die!” Carlod’s voice became as old as his age, but still full of coldness and calmness.
Di Mu smiled faintly, pulled out the “Ink Blood” with his backhand, and let it hang diagonally on the side of his body.
“What’s the point of saying all this nonsense? The CP organization is too small to accommodate my ambitions. If you can kill me, then go ahead and kill me!” Di Mu laughed and said in a calm voice.
Carlod’s face turned cold, full of ruthlessness and cruelty. He took a few steps back and let go of the three best students in the base after Di Mu’s defection, who were also going to be taken to the headquarters base to participate in the CP9 selection.
Di Mu guessed correctly that the people who were secretly spying on him were from the CP organization. However, Carlod’s appearance here was an accident. He had originally brought three of the best students to the Grand Line and sent them to the CP headquarters base to participate in the CP9 selection because his six-year base training was over.
It’s just that Di Mu was originally a student at the North Sea Base, so after the CP organization discovered Di Mu’s whereabouts, they informed Carlod, who was responsible for Di Mu’s defection, which led to Carlod changing his route halfway and coming to the Sanman Island.
“Kill him. He is the assassination mission for your three graduation assessment. Once you complete it, you can become official members of the CP organization. I will also do my best to send you to CP9!” Carlod shouted coldly.
Upon hearing this, the three CP students’ eyes lit up immediately, and at the same time, they burst out with strong murderous intent and stared at Di Mu.
Chapter 43: Sword Waves and Claw Shadows (Old Version)
Since these three students were able to be sent to CP9’s selection by Carlod, it was enough to prove their excellence and strength. Each of them had a Dao power of more than 400, and was proficient in at least three of the Navy’s Six Styles.
Among the three CP students, the young man standing in the middle was the first one who couldn’t help himself. He jumped up and kicked Di Mu, causing a several-meter-long slashing wave.
Di Mu grinned, and swung his sword in an instant. The powerful slashing force immediately dispersed the sweeping slashing wave.
At this moment, the other two CP students also attacked at the same time, using shaving skills. In the blink of an eye, they appeared on both sides of Di Mu, and raised their fingers and kicked their legs to use finger guns and storm kicks.
Block of iron~!
His muscles expanded and contracted, but Di Mu did not dodge, allowing the attacks of the two men to fall on him. Even with the shock of the whistling air flow, he did not move at all.
“Is it just this extent? It seems that leaving the base in the first place was indeed the right decision!” Facing the horrified expressions of the two attacking CP students, Di Mu let out a creepy low laugh.
During the past six months, he has not only practiced Observation Haki, but has also never stopped practicing ‘Electrode Strengthening’ and kendo. An attack with only a few hundred points of force is simply not enough to break his iron defense.
His left hand formed into a claw, and he grabbed the throat of the CP student on the left side as fast as lightning. With his right hand, he waved “Ink Blood”. Di Mu instantly burst out with a terrifying attack speed, and with one sword, he cut the student on the right side in half, who didn’t even have time to use the iron block.
Blood gushed out, and Di Mu showed a bloody smile towards the CP student opposite who had just used the Storm Kick. At the same time, he suddenly grabbed with his left hand and crushed the throat of the CP student on the left, causing the other party to fall to the ground in pain, covering his bloody neck.
Although Di Mu was already testing his own Dao power, it was obvious that his current Dao power was definitely far greater than when he left the Island of Beasts.
The CP students on the opposite side were horrified by Di Mu’s brutal killing and absolute crushing, which also made Carlod’s face change slightly.
“Look carefully, this is me after leaving the base!” Di Mu laughed loudly, twisted his waist vigorously, and kicked out sideways like lightning.
The air waves surged, and a slashing wave more than ten meters long roared out, not only causing the ground to shatter into mud and rocks wherever it passed, but it also swept through the CP students on the opposite side in an instant, at such a fast speed that Carlod had no time to stop it.
The weird blood spurted out in a circle, and the CP student’s upper body flew high up. It was obviously because his body was broken by Di Mu’s slashing wave.
“Damn it!” Carlod was furious when he saw this scene. The best students in the base he was in charge of all died tragically. This made him full of anger. He stomped the ground with one foot and rushed towards Di Mu fiercely.
But in a flash, Carlod appeared in front of Di Mu. At the same time, he stretched out his index finger and hit Di Mu’s head faster and stronger than a real bullet.
The sword slashed across, and the powerful finger gun that Carlod unleashed was blocked by Di Mu’s “Ink Blood”, but soon his feet slipped under the pressure of the terrible impact, and he retreated more than ten meters away, and his right hand holding the sword felt numb.
Di Mu felt awe in his heart. The other party was indeed a veteran member of the CP organization. Although he was old, he was still very powerful and his strength was far above his.
Seeing that his attack was blocked, Carlod looked at Di Mu with some doubt in his eyes. The other party was less than thirteen years old, and the finger gun he had just used contained at least more than three thousand Taoist forces.
“He is growing too fast, we must not let him continue to live!” This thought suddenly appeared in Carlod’s mind, and it also showed that he had a strong fear of Di Mu.
His muscles swelled instantly, and Carlod, who had been thinner as he aged, suddenly became like a bodybuilder, with explosive muscles all over his body, even bursting his suit.
Carlod is undoubtedly a master of the Six Styles of the Navy. Not only has he mastered the Iron Block to perfection, he has even reached the point where the use of the Iron Block will not affect his own movements and attacks.
Under the iron block, his body was like steel, even tougher than steel. Carlod used the shaving skill in an instant, and his hands turned into claws like lightning and covered Di Mu.
Di Mu had been on high alert since he felt that the opponent’s strength far exceeded his own. At this moment, when Carlod swept over, he suddenly let out a low shout, swung “Ink Blood” with his right hand, and continuously burst out with slashing.
Ding ding ding～～～!
Boom boom boom～～～!
When ‘Ink Blood’ slashed on Carlod’s hands, it was as if it was slashing on steel, making a crisp sound. At the same time, the powerful slashing force and the power of physical skills collided with each other, and violent whistling waves of air continued to erupt, making it seem as if a whirlwind was set off around the two of them.
The afterimages of sword waves and claw shadows were everywhere. The two of them instantly broke out into a fierce offensive and defensive battle, constantly resisting each other’s attacks and covering the opponent with their own attacks.
At this moment, Carlod was clearly fighting at his full strength. Although he was nearly seventy years old and his strength had declined a lot as his body aged, his Taoist power was still an astonishing five thousand.
Although Di Mu has grown a lot after leaving the Island of Beasts, there is still a big gap between him and Carlod. As the battle continued, he soon fell into a disadvantage, with fewer and fewer attacks, and more and more resistance and dodges.
But even though he did not suffer any injuries, as early as the beginning of the battle, Di Mu quietly used the “Killing Field”. With his meticulous observation, even if Carlod was stronger than him, it was difficult to hurt him, and he was easily avoided by him.
The reason why Di Mu left the CP base was not only because the training at the CP base could not keep up with his growth, but more importantly because the CP members were nothing more than death warriors trained by the World Government.
It can be seen from CP9 in the original work that even someone as outstanding as Rob Lucci has not learned domineering.
Having also realized that ‘weakness is a sin’, Di Mu can be sure that it is not that Rob Lucci does not want to learn Haki, but that the World Government has never thought of passing down the method of practicing Haki.
Chapter 44: Awesome (Old Version)
In the eyes of the World Government, CP members are nothing more than death warriors. It is enough for them to be proficient in espionage and assassination. Why bother teaching them domineering aura, which will only increase instability?
Di Mu had asked Brady about Haki when he was learning kendo from him, but he learned that Brady didn’t know Haki either. Brady also told him that in the CP organization, except for CP0, almost no other members would be taught the method of practicing Haki by the World Government.
Ambitious Di Mu naturally did not want to be trained as a death warrior by the World Government. It was precisely for this most important reason that he defected from the base without hesitation.
The same was true for Carlod at this time. Although he was incredibly powerful, he was restricted by the World Government and had never learned domineering.
Under the penetration of Di Mu’s ‘Killing Field’, even though Carlod’s strength surpassed Di Mu’s, it was difficult for him to cause real damage to Di Mu. On the contrary, as the battle continued, his aging body caused him to lose strength rapidly, and he gradually became out of breath.
Not every old man is called Karp. Old age is definitely a fatal blow to a strong person.
Carlod himself knew that if the attack lasted for a long time without success, the longer it took, the worse it would be for him, and he also became a little anxious.
Di Mu dodged the attacks swiftly while looking coldly at the old man opposite him. The opponent’s iron block was indeed very strong. He was hit by his “Ink Blood” several times but did not suffer any serious injuries. Instead, his arm was numb from the shock.
“What an exciting battle!” Di Mu felt as if his blood was burning, and his eyes were filled with intense excitement.
He naturally knew that the longer the battle lasted, the better it would be for him, but he had no interest in a protracted war. His goal was to fight head-on.
Di Mu dodged and avoided the attack of the finger gun. He suddenly lowered his body, swung his sword, and released a huge sword wave that created a whistling airflow.
Instead of relying on the iron block to resist, Carlod pulled back and kicked out a larger-scale Storm Kick Wave.
The sword wave and the slashing wave collided instantly. The terrible impact force caused the surrounding ground to be lifted up and shattered, and a violent air wave ring erupted.
The sword wave that Di Mu slashed out was obviously no match for the Lanjiao slashing wave which had a power of more than 5,000. The sword wave was quickly broken up after the collision, and the Lanjiao slashing wave, which became a little messy and shrunken, rushed towards Di Mu.
Carlod retreated to catch his breath and not to deplete his energy so quickly, while Di Mu wanted to have a passionate and tough battle.
When he swung his sword, brilliant electric current instantly emerged from Di Mu’s body. It was obvious that he had turned on the ‘electric current mode’, causing all the cells in his body to become overloaded and more active under the stimulation of the electric current.
Without giving Carlod much time to breathe, Di Mu, with excitement on his face, kicked out in the “electric mode”. He not only avoided the incoming storm kick slashing wave, but also reached the opponent’s injured space in the blink of an eye, and at the same time slashed down the “ink blood” surrounded by electric light.
“Not good!” Carlod’s face changed drastically. Di Mu’s cells became rapidly active and their speed increased significantly, which led to his wrong judgment.
The electric sword wave of the Magnetic Weapon Slash burst out, and Carlod tried his best to dodge to the side, but he was still a step too slow, and a bloody wound that penetrated deep into the bone was cut on his shoulder.
Carlod groaned, and ignoring the severe pain in his shoulder, he punched Di Mu in anger, straight into the abdomen.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Di Mu was unsurprisingly blasted into the sky like a cannonball, instantly reaching a height of more than ten meters.
But this is not the end yet. Although injured, Carlod was like an angry lion. After punching out, he turned around and flew up, kicking out a huge storm kick wave into the air.
As soon as the Lanjiao slashing wave entered the ten-meter “killing area”, Di Mu noticed it. He forced himself to suppress the churning in his abdomen and quickly stepped on the air to rush to the side.
The slashing wave created a whistling wave of air and passed by Di Mu, and Di Mu used the Moon Step without stopping to quickly fall to the ground not far away.
Faced with Carlood’s angry punch head-on, even in the ‘electric mode’, Di Mu felt as if his intestines were broken and he felt constant cramping pain.
However, this severe pain not only made Di Mu feel uncomfortable, but also made him more excited. A hard fight was all about the feeling of every punch landing and every sword spurting blood.
“It’s really exciting!” Di Mu grinned, his mouth full of blood. The moment he landed on the ground, he turned around and slashed with a sword.
The sounds of flashing arcs and whistling air surged out, and a wave of electric sword quickly rushed out from the edge of “Moxue”‘s sword, slashing directly at Carlod who was not far away like a huge flying bird.
“Storm Kick~!” Carlod roared angrily and kicked out with the same kick, unleashing a fierce slashing wave.
The electric sword wave and the Lanjiao slashing wave collided in an instant. The electric current flashed dazzlingly, and the sword wave and the slashing wave burst out with whistling waves of air, and both dissipated at the same time.
Previously, the sword wave slashed out by Di Mu was kicked away by Carlod’s Storm Kick slashing wave, but now they are evenly matched.
This is not only because the sharpness of the Magnetic Weapon Slash is far superior to the normal sword wave, but also because under the ‘Electric Current Mode’, Di Mu’s physical fitness has been greatly improved, and his arm strength has also been greatly improved, making the power of the slash much stronger.
The attacks of the two men were destroyed at the same time. Both Di Mu and Carlod roared and rushed towards each other.
The “ink blood” was surrounded by electric light, and Di Mu moved the sword without hesitation, slashing at the opponent’s neck.
At the same time, Carlod immediately used paper painting to dodge, and then stabbed Di Mu’s heart with his finger gun.
A strong sense of crisis was in his mind, and Di Mu’s hair stood on end. The ‘Killing Field’ instantly saw through everything. He crossed his feet and dodged the finger gun attack. He raised his left thumb, cast the finger gun, and stabbed it at Carlod’s temple.
(Please collect, give flowers, and give rewards!!!)
Chapter 45: Stalemate Battle (Old Version)
The thumb hit Carlord’s temple accurately, but was blocked by the powerful iron block. Carlord actually trained the iron block to the point where it could even defend his temple.
“You’re too naive, kid!” Carlod smiled cruelly, and his right hand turned into a claw and used the five-finger gun, grabbing Di Mu’s abdomen directly, and all five fingers pierced through.
Di Mu’s body trembled, and five bloody holes were immediately pierced in his abdomen. But in the next moment, he suddenly used a block of iron to compress the muscles in his abdomen tightly together, and actually trapped Carlod’s five fingers.
“Old man, you are already old!” Di Mu gave a bloodthirsty smile, and with a flip of his wrist, he slashed the ink-blooded arm straight down to the abdomen.
Blood spurted out, and the ‘ink blood’ surrounded by electric light showed a terrifying sharpness, directly cutting off the right arm whose five fingers were tightly clamped by Di Mu’s muscles, breaking it apart from the elbow.
Carlod screamed and quickly retreated, clutching the broken and bleeding elbow of his right arm with his left hand, looking at Di Mu with shock, anger and resentment.
Di Mu ignored the other person’s gaze, grabbed his abdomen with his left hand, and after loosening the compressed muscles, he pulled out the broken arm. At the same time, the bloody hole splattered out bright red blood.
Di Mu threw his broken arm away, and with an expressionless face, he pressed his left hand, which was flashing with strong electricity, towards his bleeding abdomen.
The electric current hit and a burning smell was immediately emitted. It turned out that Di Mu used the electric current to burn the flesh at the bloody hole in his abdomen, which also prevented the blood from flowing out.
The intense pain made Di Mu’s eyes twitch and even bulged, but his eyes never left Carlod from beginning to end, and he was obviously on guard all the time.
Seeing Di Mu using an electric current that was suspected to be the ability of some devil fruit to stop the bleeding on his injured abdomen, even Carlod’s face changed. The other party’s ferocity was completely inconsistent with his age. Not only was he cruel to others, he was even more cruel to himself.
At this moment, Carlod couldn’t help but feel a chill when he looked at Di Mu. The other party was simply like a madman, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
“What? Are you still not making a move? Could it be that after I cut off your hand, your will to fight has also gone out?” The electric shock was extremely painful, followed by numbness. After the pain subsided, Di Mu looked at the other party with a grin, as if nothing had happened.
Carlod’s face looked grim, with blood still flowing out of his left hand which was holding the broken elbow. He was already old and had suffered such a severe injury, so his body was becoming a little sluggish.
“I can’t go on, otherwise I will really die at the hands of this madman!” Carlod felt heavy in his heart and had the idea of ​​retreating.
Since retiring behind the scenes, not only has Carlod’s body been aging, but the drive and decisiveness he had in his youth have also been decaying. Until now, he has cherished his life very much. The loss of his hand is already difficult for him to accept, and life and death are even more unacceptable to him.
Di Mu, who had learned micro-expressions, instantly saw that Carlod was going to retreat. He suddenly felt unhappy. It would be too boring if it ended like this. He had just gotten excited.
Di Mu, who had been letting his opponent escape, launched an attack without hesitation. He rushed out in a flash and arrived in front of Carlod in the blink of an eye, and slashed him with a sword.
Carlod’s heart was shocked, and he quickly used Paper Drawing to dodge, but his plan to retreat failed. Di Mu did not give him any chance at all. He slashed and used the Six Navy Styles continuously, forcing the opponent to continue fighting with him.
“Damn it!” Carlod quickly realized that Di Mu was not going to interrupt him and he became furious and began to fight back frantically.
Since he couldn’t leave, he might as well fight with all his might instead of standing still. That way, he might still have a chance of survival. Even if he died, he would take the traitor Di Mu to hell with him.
Carlod was proficient in the Six Navy Styles and had already comprehended the “Life Return”. While fighting with Di Mu, he immediately used the “Life Return” to temporarily shrink the broken part of his right elbow and stop the blood from flowing out.
Not only that, although he lost an arm, Carlod’s aggressiveness was even more terrifying than before as he threw everything away and fought back madly.
Di Mu was not surprised by this situation but happy. He also attacked frantically. The “ink blood” surrounded by lightning left a trail of afterimages, as if he was cutting Carlod into pieces.
Although Carlod does not have the ability to use Observation Haki, he is an expert in the use of paper drawing. He can use it to dodge even the slightest airflow.
One has the “killing field” and the other has the superb “paper painting”. Although the two attacked each other fiercely, neither of them suffered serious injuries in the fierce battle.
Not only that, although Di Mu was young and strong, Carlod also had rich combat experience. Every time he used the least physical strength to exert the most powerful attack power, and the battle actually became a stalemate.
Don’t forget, Di Mu’s ‘current mode’ cannot last long. The longer it lasts, the greater the damage to the cells will be. Moreover, the ‘current mode’ also consumes a lot of mental energy.
After ten minutes of fierce fighting, Di Mu felt sore and painful both in his body and mind. The pain intensified after half an hour. His mental strength was almost reaching its limit, and he could only release the ‘electric current mode’ helplessly.
However, although he lost the amplifying effect brought by the ‘electric current mode’, Di Mu did not immediately fall into danger.
Carlod was not in a much better condition. After fighting for more than half an hour, his physical strength was almost reaching its limit. His strength and speed were greatly weakened due to the huge consumption of physical strength. He was almost the same as Di Mu who had lost his ‘electric current mode’.
He turned around and swung his sword, and the ‘Ink Blood’ that had lost its electric energy slashed straight down, heavily hitting Carlod, who was staggering and had no time to dodge.
(Please add collections and flowers, and I also beg capable people to give me some rewards!)
Chapter 46: The Realm of Cutting Iron (Old Version)
Carlod quickly controlled the expansion and contraction of his muscles, and tried his best to avoid the vital parts, so that the “Ink Blood” only cut his shoulder.
A streak of blood splashed, and the sword tip of “Moxue” was stuck in Carlod’s muscles before it penetrated less than half an inch.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Carlod immediately moved close to the opponent, and his left fist burst out with a whistling sound, pouring out with power.
The secret of the Six Styles: Six Kings Spear~!
The fist slammed into Di Mu’s chest, whose reaction had become a little slow due to overdrawn mental strength.
A visible shock wave appeared and rushed out from behind Di Mu after penetrating his body, causing the air to vibrate continuously.
Di Mu bent his body and spurted out large mouthfuls of blood, but his fighting instinct still made him quickly retreat with his sword in hand to distance himself from the opponent.
“Ahem~!”
Although the power of the Six Kings Robbery was halved due to the loss of an arm, and the rapid consumption of physical strength made it impossible for him to exert more than 5,000 Dao Power, leaving not even half of it, but this move still caused Di Mu to suffer serious injuries.
Coughing up blood continuously, Di Mu propped “Moxue” on the ground to support his body from falling down. He gasped rapidly, raised his pale face and was on guard against Carlod.
“What’s wrong? Why don’t you use the devil fruit ability you just used? Your slashing attack is so weak now!” Although Carlod was also gasping for breath, a bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face.
After fighting to such an extent, he was hit by his Six Kings Spear. It was as if the outcome was already decided. He didn’t believe that the other party still had the strength to fight with him.
And the most important thing is that he found that after Di Mu’s sword lost the electric current, the power was greatly weakened. Now it can only barely hurt his body behind the iron block, and this injury is not worth mentioning at all.
It was like being in an invincible position. Carlod seemed to have already seen the scene of himself killing the opponent next, and his heart was filled with joy and bloodthirsty impulse.
Di Mu ignored the other party’s provocative words, but slowly adjusted his breathing and tried to stay calm.
His mental strength had already reached its limit. Even if he used the Magnetic Weapon Slash recklessly, he would probably faint before he could even make a move. His body, which had already been seriously injured by the Six Kings Spear, had also reached its limit. Even his internal organs were damaged.
“Is this the only way we can go?” Di Mu was in a daze, and his consciousness seemed to be gradually becoming blurred.
Just as a dying person would recall his life experiences at a speed beyond his thinking before dying, Di Mu seemed to see his past at this moment.
When he was on Earth, he was an ordinary child, growing up under the care of his parents and experiencing ordinary happiness.
Suddenly, Di Mu’s memory changed. A car accident caused the death of both his parents, and the perpetrator was a second-generation official. He used his family’s official background and the financial resources of his wealthy relatives to erase everything about the car accident.
Di Mu’s calm heart suddenly fluctuated violently. He thought about how he filed a lawsuit to redress his father’s innocence, but was coldly driven away and then beaten by a group of social people.
No one becomes evil for no reason. The collapse of Di Mu’s worldview all stemmed from the car accident involving his parents.
Unable to sue and constantly being beaten and tortured by people hired by the second-generation official, Di Mu retaliated in the most extreme way. He took advantage of a gathering of the other party’s family and relatives, spent all the family’s money, bribed the other party’s nanny, and then poisoned them.
While the family of eighteen were struggling and screaming under the effects of the poison, Di Mu was laughing, and he was laughing crazily, and he couldn’t control his tears from flowing.
“Although I had thoughts of suicide at that time, I chose to live in the end because I was afraid of death. But it feels so good to be alive!” The memories stopped, and Di Mu felt the joy of being alive while mocking himself.
Yes, being alive is the best. If his parents were still alive, how could he become evil? He has finally got a new life, he not only wants to live, but also live well.
A strong desire to survive arose from Di Mu’s heart, and then receded like a tide. A strong glow appeared in Di Mu’s eyes, and he also came out of the state of dying memory.
The changes of life and death made Di Mu’s soul seem to have undergone a transformation. At this moment, he did not deliberately guide his breathing, but his breathing seemed extremely smooth.
Not only that, everything around seemed to have become unusually quiet, with only Di Mu’s own breathing rising and falling, but this quietness was not silent.
On the contrary, Di Mu seemed to see that every blade of grass and stone around him seemed to have life, proving their existence with their own unique breathing and way.
“Kill!” Suddenly, the silence was broken. Di Mu looked up and saw Carlod roaring with his mouth open, rushing towards him with a bloodthirsty and ferocious look.
His consciousness was focused back from the unintentional emptiness. At this moment, Di Mu visualized a sword mind that was better than any previous one, and slashed out with the sword completely according to his body’s instinct.
The sword flashed and disappeared, and Carlod kept the posture of pointing the gun and crossed paths with Di Mu, landing ten meters behind Di Mu.
Strange blood spurted out, starting from the index finger of his left hand. A blood mark appeared on Carlod’s body, and it became bigger and bigger, until finally his body slowly broke into two halves and fell to the ground, with only the constantly gushing blood flowing.
Di Mu swayed and turned around to look at the body he had chopped off. He grinned, “It seems that I am the one who survived in the end!”
Under the great terror between life and death, Di Mu’s sword heart was transformed, allowing him to comprehend the breathing of all things in the realm of cutting iron.
Chapter 47: Developing the Thunder Prison (Old Version)
It was also because of this that Di Mu, whose previous attacks could only cause slight injuries, was able to use “Ink Blood” to cut off the body of Carlod, whose body was tougher than steel after he used the iron block.
However, Di Mu, who had won the victory, did not relax his mind. Instead, he gritted his teeth and refused to let himself fall. He endured the mental and physical pain and fatigue and returned to the town with full strength.
Although he did not sense any aura or fluctuations other than those of Carlod and his men during the previous battle, just in case, Di Mu must not let himself appear weak to prevent someone from spying in secret.
——————————————Please collect! Please give me flowers! —————————————————————
A week later, on a cliff somewhere on the island, Di Mu sat cross-legged in meditation, with the ‘Moxue’ in the scabbard placed horizontally on his knees, practicing sword meditation silently, consolidating the iron-cutting realm he had just broken through.
When they left, there were no enemies, but for safety reasons, Di Mu returned to the town, bought some medicine, and hid on the island to recover from his injuries.
With the help of electrotherapy and medication, Di Mu only needed a week of recuperation to recover from his injuries. He also took this opportunity to consolidate his sword skills.
“Sure enough, the breakthrough in the realm of swordsmanship also makes the mental strength increase a lot!” After an unknown amount of time, when the practice of sword Zen was finished, Di Mu slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice.
Practicing swordsmanship requires improving one’s swordsmanship, and after breaking through the Iron Cutting Realm, Di Mu’s visualized swordsmanship has undergone a qualitative change, which has also prompted a significant increase in his mental strength.
Di Mu had tested it before. After he broke through the Iron Cutting Realm, when he activated the ‘Electromagnetic Source’, the current energy generated exceeded 10,000 volts.
Of course, in addition to the electric current energy, the magnetic force of the “Electromagnetic Source” has also become stronger, enough to control smaller iron products like the ability of the Magnet Fruit.
Feeling that his body had almost recovered, Di Mu stood up, pulled the “Ink Blood” out of the scabbard, activated the electromagnetic force and used the “Magnetic Weapon Slash” to make the “Ink Blood” surrounded by electric light.
The increase in electromagnetic force also increased the power of “Magnetic Weapon Slash”, and Di Mu naturally needed to adapt to the increased power.
At the same time, as the energy of the electric current becomes stronger, Di Mu is also preparing to develop it well so as not to waste the enhanced power.
More than ten days passed, and Di Mu’s injuries were completely healed. He was also proficient in the “Magnetic Slash” with enhanced power. At the same time, he also developed an electric current move that he thought was most suitable for him.
Still on the cliff, a large number of bright electric arcs were released from Di Mu’s body. He was like a generator, causing dense electric currents to flash within a radius of five meters.
This is the electric current move developed by Di Mu, which was modeled after Uchiha Sasuke’s Chidori Style in “Naruto”. It covers the area with a strong electric current, which can cause the enemy to be hit and paralyzed by the strong electric current.
Of course, although Di Mu referred to the Chidori Flow, there are still differences between the two. Di Mu also added magnetism, so that the electric current energy can generate magnetic force and bind it within five meters around the body, so as to prevent the electric current energy from flowing far away and being wasted, and it also greatly strengthened the control over the electric current energy.
In order to distinguish it from Chidori Style, Di Mu named the electric current move he developed “Thunder Prison”.
The reason why Di Mu developed the “Thunder Domain” was not because of how powerful this move was, but because it could paralyze the enemy’s body and complement his swordsmanship.
Imagine that an enemy who is as strong as or stronger than Di Mu is suddenly paralyzed by the electric current of the “Thunder Prison”. Even if the paralysis is only for a moment, it is enough to be fatal.
Unless the opponent possesses some special devil fruit ability and extraordinary physical defense, Di Mu, who has reached the level of Iron Cutting, is able to cut off the opponent’s body in the moment of paralysis and directly win the battle.
It was precisely because he saw that the paralyzing effect of electric current was very suitable for his own swordsmanship that Di Mu thought of Chidori Style and then developed the “Thunder Prison”.
After mastering the ‘Thunder Prison’, Di Mu slowly retracted the electric current that was flashing continuously within a five-meter radius around him.
“It’s time to leave, but there’s one thing I must do before leaving!” Di Mu touched his chin, muttered to himself for a while, then put ‘Moxue’ on his back and left the cliff.
The ship that was originally placed in the dock for repairs has long been repaired, and Di Mu can continue sailing at any time. However, there is one thing that Di Mu has never forgotten, and it even lingers in his mind like a resentment.
When he first arrived at the Grand Line, Di Mu was destroying a pirate group that specialized in robbing new recruits when he learned that the navy had given him the nickname “Sword Carryer”, which made him feel ashamed.
And now, Di Mu is ready to get back at his enemies and make the navy deeply understand the price of giving himself a wrong reputation.
There is a naval branch base on the small island of Selman, but the naval base on the Grand Line is incomparable to the four seas.
For example, the naval branch base in Saipan not only has thousands of naval soldiers, but also must have a vice admiral of the naval headquarters in charge.
Although the second-rate naval branch bases are not as strong as the branch bases, they also have combat power that exceeds the four seas branch bases. Each branch has more than 500 naval soldiers and a colonel from the naval headquarters.
This is a colonel of the navy headquarters, not those colonels in the four seas whose rank does not match their strength. He is definitely the backbone of the navy headquarters.
In order to avenge the nickname given to him by the navy, Di Mu now went to the naval branch base on the small island of Sanman.
If Di Mu had not yet comprehended the Iron-Cutting Realm, he might have been a little fearful, but now, he simply adopted the most arrogant attitude and swaggered towards the gate of the branch base.
After a while, Di Mu arrived not far from the naval branch base built near the town.
Chapter 48 Naval Base Division (Seeking collection and flowers!) (Old version)
Looking around, whether it was the perimeter wall or the buildings inside, they were all printed with the naval icon of a seagull and a wrench. In addition, at the two steel doors that opened inward, there were two naval soldiers standing guard with guns in hand, their bodies straight and serious expressions.
“Hurry up! Why are you running so slowly? How can you fight the pirates like this?”
“Please use your strength. Haven’t you eaten? Pirates are all vicious. Without sufficient strength, you will only become a burden on the battlefield!”
Before they got close enough, they could hear the sounds of training and urging from within the base wall not far away. The navy inside was conducting their daily training.
“You’re quite motivated!” Di Mu exclaimed. This voice reminded him of his training at the CP base.
However, despite his emotion, Di Mu did not slow down and quickly came to the front of the base gate. At the same time, the two naval soldiers on guard also looked at him.
“Stop, this is a naval base, no outsiders are allowed to approach!” One of the naval soldiers strode forward and stood in front of Di Mu seriously.
Di Mu tilted his head and looked at the other person and another navy soldier who was looking at him warily, and suddenly his figure flashed past the two of them.
Electricity suddenly flashed on the two sentries behind Di Mu. The two men twitched all over and fainted on the ground under the impact of the electric current.
Di Mu walked through the gate and entered the base without a care in the world. He immediately saw that training was indeed going on inside the wall. Some people were running around the square in front of the building, some were fighting in pairs, and some were doing shooting training with guns.
The situation at the door only happened in a moment, and as Di Mu weakened the energy of the electric current, it did not make much noise, and therefore did not alarm the navy in the base.
However, when Di Mu entered the base and walked to the training square, a naval captain in charge of training immediately noticed Di Mu and walked over with some surprise.
“Whose child are you? How did you get in here? Where is the sentry?” The naval captain frowned and looked towards the gate.
Di Mu is less than thirteen years old now. Although his body has developed very well due to years of practice, his face is still childish. In the eyes of the naval captain, he is just a half-grown boy.
Di Mu was also used to his young age, so he didn’t pay much attention to the navy captain’s words and just looked at him with a smile.
At the same time, when the naval captain looked at the two sentries lying on the ground outside the gate of the base, he was immediately shocked. Then his face changed and he looked at Di Mu warily.
“Who are you?” When the navy captain discovered the abnormality on the sentry’s side, he also realized that something was wrong with Di Mu. There was a sword behind the other party. This was definitely not the situation that a normal teenager should have. He immediately drew out the long sword at his waist vigilantly and shouted.
“What’s going on? Did something happen to Captain Gejier?”
“Something’s wrong. Look, the sentry at the door seems to have fainted. That boy must be an enemy!”
“Hurry, let’s go over there, the other party might be a pirate!”
The navy captain’s shout and the action of drawing his sword immediately attracted the attention of many navy soldiers in the base. They rushed out and quickly surrounded Di Mu.
At a window on the building facing the training square, a naval colonel who originally just wanted to watch the training of his soldiers was looking at the situation below in confusion.
“Why did everyone stop training? Huh?! Is there something going on with Captain Gejil?” This naval colonel was the highest commander of this naval branch base. His eyes inevitably turned to the place where the soldiers were surrounding, and he also saw the naval captain and Di Mu who were in a standoff.
The naval colonel’s gaze merely swept over the naval captain, and then he looked at Di Mu, who was only a teenager opposite him. There was some confusion in his eyes at first, but soon he became surprised and uncertain.
“Something’s wrong. Why does this person look so familiar?” The naval colonel frowned, as if he had discovered something. He quickly turned around and began to look through the large number of bounty warrants placed on the side of the table.
Just when the naval captain thought Di Mu looked familiar, in the square, surrounded by many naval soldiers and with a naval captain pointing a long knife at him, Di Mu tilted his head and looked at the other party.
“Have you drawn your sword? Do you know that facing me with a sword means being prepared to die? Are you ready?” Di Mu said seriously.
The navy captain was startled and became more and more certain that the sentry at the gate was killed by Di Mu, and Di Mu was most likely a pirate.
“Shut up! As a naval lieutenant, I order you to surrender immediately and put down the sword behind you!” the naval captain shouted.
Di Mu shook his head, and grasped the hilt of “Moxue” with his backhand. With a swish and a dark sword light, he drew “Moxue” out of its sheath.
Seeing that Di Mu actually drew his sword, the naval lieutenant and the naval soldiers around him immediately became highly alert, some pointed their guns at Di Mu, and some looked like they were ready to rush forward.
The naval captain was even more so. When he saw Di Mu actually drew his sword after his warning, he was immediately shocked and angry. He took the initiative to attack without hesitation. With a loud shout, he held the sword with both hands and slashed at Di Mu.
The blade stopped when it was still one foot away from Di Mu. It was not because the naval captain stopped attacking, but because Di Mu used the technique of grabbing the blade with his bare hands. He grabbed it with his left hand in a flash, and held the blade tightly with his four fingers and thumb.
Looking at the naval lieutenant who was both shocked and angry and trying hard to pull back the long sword, Di Mu grinned, and pulled hard with his left arm. The powerful force made the opponent stagger and rush towards him.
The sword flashed, and Di Mu slashed out with the sword without hesitation. With blood spurting out, the lieutenant was cut in half without even a chance to dodge. With disbelief on his face, his body fell to the ground in two, and his hand loosened the hilt of the long sword.
Chapter 49 vs. Navy Captain (Old Version)
“Shoot him, he’s a pirate!”
“Captain Gajeel~!”
It all happened almost in an instant from the time the navy captain made his move to the time he was cut in half by Di Mu. When the navy soldiers around him saw the death of the navy captain, their faces suddenly changed and they all screamed in horror.
Without any hesitation, the soldiers holding guns around immediately pulled the trigger, and bullets shot towards Di Mu.
Di Mu did not dodge. He focused his eyes and activated the ‘source of electromagnetic force’. An invisible magnetic force suddenly burst out from his body. The dense bullets that were shooting at him suddenly stopped and hovered around Di Mu.
“Not bad!” Di Mu chuckled. With his current magnetic strength, he could indeed control the shooting bullets.
Di Mu showed a bloody and bloodthirsty smile, and without hesitation, he immediately controlled the suspended bullet to fly back. Its impact force and speed were no less than the previous gun shooting.
The navy soldiers never thought that someone could control the bullets. They were caught off guard and dense bullets suddenly swept the crowd around them. Blood splattered, screams and sounds of people falling to the ground continued, and dozens of people died in an instant.
Di Mu jumped up and swept his right leg vigorously, kicking out a huge slashing wave towards the side with the largest number of people.
Large groups of naval soldiers were torn apart and blown away. The sky was filled with blood as if it was raining blood, making the screams and wails even louder.
“Stop it~!”
Suddenly, just when Di Mu was about to start a killing spree, a window of a building not far away was knocked open, and a strong figure leaped down from the window, and let out a loud roar as he landed heavily on the square.
This strong figure was none other than the naval colonel in the base. He roared in shock and anger, and without any pause, he kicked his feet, causing a whistling wave of air to sweep towards Di Mu like an arrow.
Di Mu kicked his legs and landed on the ground. He immediately saw the naval colonel rushing towards him. He casually swung the long sword he had snatched from the naval lieutenant and swung it over, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
The naval colonel paused and nimbly dodged the spinning long sword. At the same time, his legs flashed and he disappeared from the spot. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Di Mu’s front.
The fist with the metal glove and the dark sword blade collided violently in an instant. The former was the fist swung violently by the naval colonel, and the latter was the “ink blood” slashed by Di Mu.
The whistling air waves swept in all directions between the two men like a whirlwind. In just a moment, the naval colonel took more than ten steps back with a look of shock on his face.
“It wasn’t cut off!” After the blow, Di Mu didn’t move at all, but there was surprise on his face. He couldn’t help but look at the metal gloves in the opponent’s hands.
After reaching the realm of cutting iron, Di Mu can be said to have become a swordsman. Both the power and sharpness of his strikes have been greatly improved, and cutting steel is no longer a problem.
Di Mu’s previous attack was intended to cut off the opponent’s fist and body, but he didn’t expect that the opponent was just knocked back, and the boxing gloves that had received the attack only had a white mark.
In just a moment, Di Mu reacted. The opponent’s boxing gloves were not made of pure steel, but of a metal that was harder than steel. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to withstand the slashing attack from his initial-level swordsman.
“Sword-Carrying Man, you are so brave that you actually charge into the naval base. Do you want to be surrounded and wiped out?” Although the naval colonel was frightened by the powerful attack of Di Mu, he did not dare to lower his momentum and shouted angrily with a bit of timidity.
Di Mu’s face turned dark. Could it be that the other party did this on purpose? He came here just because of this damn title of ‘Sword Carrier’, and now the other party actually dared to bring it up again. He was immediately furious.
“You are looking for death!” Di Mu’s face turned pale and he spoke word by word. Then he rushed out without hesitation and slashed with his sword.
The whistling air wave had transformed from a sword wave into a sharper, huge sword energy that twisted the air into chaos, sweeping towards the naval colonel with a violent and sharp attitude.
“Damn it!” The naval colonel had no idea that he had undoubtedly offended Di Mu’s anger. He just wanted to scare the other party away, but he didn’t expect Di Mu to attack without hesitation.
As a colonel of the Navy Headquarters, he had naturally learned the Six Navy Styles. The Navy Colonel quickly dodged with the help of the airflow created by the sword energy.
The sword energy passed by the side of the naval colonel and rushed forward, hitting the building not far away in the blink of an eye. There was a flash of light, and a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the building.
Half of the building slid and collapsed, crashing heavily onto an open space on one side, raising a huge wave of air and dust with a deafening roar.
At the same time, although the naval colonel dodged the sword’s attack, Di Mu rushed out and arrived in front of the opponent at this moment.
A dark sword light flashed, and Di Mu swung it out, and “Moxue” slashed out with a terrifying edge.
The naval colonel reacted quickly, and immediately slammed his right fist with a metal fist towards the incoming sword to prevent himself from being cut.
A loud roar was heard, accompanied by a whistling wave of air. Although the naval colonel blocked the sharp edge of the slash with the defense of his metal gloves, he was unable to withstand the power of Di Mu’s Taoism and the slash, and his body flew backwards like a cannonball.
“Let’s see how many times you can block it!” Di Mu snorted coldly, and with a flash of his feet, he used the shaving move, and instantly chased after him, continuously swinging ‘Ink Blood’ to unleash terrible slashes.
After the naval colonel landed awkwardly on the ground, he hurriedly punched to block, and the sword and fist continued to collide violently.
Obviously, this colonel of the Navy Headquarters is also a powerful man. Although he was suppressed by Di Mu, he is not completely defenseless.
But this is normal. On the Grand Line where pirates are rampant, how can one become a colonel in the Navy Headquarters without sufficient strength?
(It’s not easy. I finally got a recommendation from the editor on the homepage. I’m so touched!)
Chapter 50 Magnetic Propulsion (Old Version)
As the battle progressed, this naval colonel displayed superb Six Styles of the Navy, and was much stronger than the pirate captain who had a bounty of 70 million berries and was eventually killed by Di Mu and had the ability of the Hound Dog Fruit.
Following the violent clash between Di Mu and the naval colonel, the hundreds of remaining sailors in the base quickly fetched their guns, but they could only stand on guard with their guns in hand for fear of accidentally injuring their superiors.
As the battle continued, it became clear that two small fists alone were not enough to protect the body. Di Mu not only suppressed the naval colonel, but also quickly achieved results.
He suddenly attacked with a finger gun, forcing the naval colonel to punch to resist. Di Mu swung “Moxue” in an instant and slashed out, cutting off the opponent’s right arm in a flash.
The naval colonel screamed, and blood spurted out of his broken right arm. The intense pain distracted him. Di Mu rushed forward in an instant and passed by the opponent in a flash.
The head flew high into the air, and blood spurted into the sky like a column. The naval colonel’s body shook for a moment and then fell limply to the ground, with a pool of blood immediately flowing from under him.
“Colonel~!”
“Kill him and avenge the colonel and the captain!”
The sailors around roared and opened fire one after another. Suddenly, bullets swept towards Di Mu like a rainstorm.
“You never learned your lesson!” Di Mu curled his lips. He had just suffered a loss, and now he actually dared to shoot at him.
The ‘Electromagnetic Source’ was activated, and an invisible and powerful magnetic force suddenly burst out from the body, and all the approaching bullets were suspended in mid-air in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the navy soldiers were all shocked and terrified at the same time. After Di Mu controlled the bullets, he immediately used the magnetic force to propel the densely packed bullets back, shooting the surrounding navy soldiers into sieves.
The screams and wails were so deafening that they even reached nearby towns, causing residents to look in the direction of the base in confusion and quickly hide in their homes, not daring to come out.
After one round of strafing, more than half of the hundreds of naval soldiers at the base were killed, and the rest were wounded by bullets and retreated in horror, looking at Di Mu.
Di Mu did not kill them all immediately, not because he had become merciful, but because he needed someone to convey a message to him.
“Listen up everyone, I don’t like the name your navy gave me, so I came here today to give you some warnings!”
“Send a message to the Navy Headquarters later and tell them to give me a better name within three days. Otherwise, wherever I go, I will destroy the local navy and base. Well, let this serve as a witness!”
Di Mu shouted in a rough voice, and at the end, he swung his sword to cut “Moxue”. A huge and sharp sword energy whizzed out, directly crossed the square, and cut on another five- or six-story building in the base.
Sniff!
A loud cutting sound was heard, and the building broke apart under the horrified gaze of the naval soldiers. The upper half fell to the ground nearby with a loud bang.
After swinging his sword to intimidate his opponent, Di Mu prepared to put “Moxue” into the scabbard behind him and leave.
But as if he had thought of something, Di Mu paused and looked at the sailors who were filled with fear and terror.
“Also, my name is Di Mu. This is my name. Let those guys in the Navy Headquarters remember it well!” Di Mu swung his sword continuously, and sword energy burst out in a flash. He actually carved his name on the wall on one side of the base.
Di Mu knew that his name in this world was ‘Tim’. In order to prevent the Navy Headquarters from marking his name incorrectly after learning his information from the CP organization, he simply left his real name, ‘Di Mu’ instead of ‘Tim’.
After doing all this, Di Mu took back the “Ink Blood” with satisfaction, and then just like when he came, he swaggered out of the base and headed to the dock where the ships were docked.
Just after Di Mu left, the remaining naval soldiers in the base breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, but at the same time they looked at their dead colleagues and superiors with sadness.
“We must report the situation here to headquarters immediately!” A naval sergeant shouted indignantly, and immediately found a Den Den Mushi that was specifically used to communicate with the naval headquarters from the ruins of the main building.
——————————Please collect! Please give me flowers! ————————————————————————
After leaving the naval base, Di Mu took his ship from the dock and then sailed away from the Salman Island.
On the other side, when the sergeant at the naval branch base used Den Den Mushi to report the base to the naval headquarters, the navy officer who answered the call was shocked and responded hastily.
Although navy officers are often killed by pirates in the Grand Line, rushing into the navy’s branch base to kill pirates is still a very rare and serious incident that must be dealt with seriously.
In Marinford, the headquarters of the Navy in the Grand Line, an important meeting was being held in a spacious and bright conference hall in the headquarters building facing the Crescent Bay.
“Everyone is clear about the situation this time. The Revolutionary Army has already instigated several countries of the World Alliance to rebel. In response to this situation, the World Government has already issued a notice that it will convene all the Allied Countries to hold a world conference to discuss how to respond to the Revolutionary Army’s instigation!” said Sengoku seriously, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, wearing a cloak of justice, with his beard tied into a braid and a seagull on his military cap.
In the conference hall, those attending this meeting were all admirals of the Navy Headquarters at the rank of vice admiral or above. In addition to the three admirals of the Navy, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, all the admirals, such as the Navy hero Garp and the Vice Admiral and Chief of Staff, Tsuru, were present.
At this time, this meeting, which brought together almost all the top and high-end combat forces of the Navy, was held to discuss the response to this world conference.
As the military branch used by the World Government to deal with the chaotic ocean, the Navy undoubtedly plays an important role in this World Conference.
Chapter 51 World Conference (Old Version)
In the subsequent talks, Sengoku also announced that the navy needed to deploy everything on the Grand Route tightly to ensure the safe arrival of the kings of the allied countries attending the World Conference in Marijoa, and for this purpose a large number of troops must be mobilized to escort them.
Everyone in the conference hall was listening carefully. After all, if something went wrong in this world conference, the consequences and responsibilities would be difficult for even them to bear.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Zhan Guo who was explaining the importance and focus of the escort. He frowned, but still said, “Come in!”
The sentinels outside must know that a meeting is being held now. Most matters will be reported after the meeting is over. If they come here now, it must be something important.
The door of the conference hall with a seagull wrench printed on it was pushed open, and a naval colonel wearing a cloak of justice hurriedly trotted to Zhan Guo’s side.
“Marshal, the communicator just sent us an urgent intelligence report that the 96th branch base was attacked by pirates. Including the colonel in charge of the 96th base, a total of more than 300 soldiers were killed. Two buildings in the base were also destroyed. The loss was heavy!” The naval colonel reported with some heaviness.
The vice admirals sitting at the conference tables all frowned. It was such a coincidence that such a terrible incident happened when the World Conference was about to be held.
“Which pirate group did this!” Sengoku’s face darkened instantly, with anger revealed between his brows.
The navy captain said: “According to the report from the base over there, there is only one perpetrator, the ‘Sword Carrying Man’ who appeared from the North Sea not long ago!”
“If I remember correctly, this ‘Sword Carrier’ seemed to have been wanted for a huge sum of 58 million berries when the bounty was first offered because he was very likely a swordsman!” The speaker was Vice Admiral Crane, who had her hands crossed on the table, like an old woman, and spoke calmly.
“So what if he is a swordsman? This is not the North Sea but the Grand Line. Since this person dares to do such a bad thing, he must be judged by justice!” Akainu, who was sitting opposite He, wearing a crimson suit, a cloak of justice, and a navy cap, said coldly.
In response to Akainu’s words, the vice admirals present all nodded slightly. Crimes that violate justice must be judged.
Although Sengoku always felt that Akainu’s behavior was too extreme, this time he agreed with Akainu’s words. At this important moment, everything must be ensured to be stable.
“Well, Marshal, the information sent by the communicator is more than that. The ‘Sword Carrying Man’ left a few words before leaving, saying that he wanted to inform the Navy Headquarters!” The Navy Lieutenant hesitated for a moment and said through gritted teeth.
“Huh?! What did he say?” Sengoku turned his head and looked at the navy lieutenant solemnly. Based on his understanding of pirates, he would definitely not leave any good words, but he still needed to find out.
The naval lieutenant nervously repeated what Di Mu had left at the base, and then looked anxiously at the marshal whose expression kept changing.
“Bastard, he is indeed a bad guy. He actually dared to attack the branch base for such a small matter and killed so many people!” Zhan Guo was furious. He slapped the conference table, causing the table to shake violently, as if it would fall apart at any time.
The other vice admirals also had grim expressions on their faces. They had not expected that just a title would lead to the attack on the base and the deaths of hundreds of naval soldiers.
“It’s so scary! Pirates nowadays are really lawless!” Among the three admirals sitting together, Kizaru, who looked listless, said exaggeratedly.
Garp also stopped eating the donut and shook his head. He really didn’t know what Roger would think if he knew that the pirate era opened with his death would lead to such brutal pirates.
“As expected, pirates are a cancer that must be eradicated. I suggest that we immediately organize a fleet to get rid of this ‘Sword Bearer’ as soon as possible to deter other pirates!” Akainu said sternly.
Knock knock~!
He tapped the table lightly a few times, and after letting everyone look over, he said calmly: “Although this ‘Sword Carrier’ committed an unforgivable crime, don’t forget the upcoming World Conference. We must concentrate our forces to protect the conference!”
“Not only that, this ‘Sword Carryer’ is obviously a very cruel person. Since he gave our navy three days to change his name before leaving, otherwise he will attack other branch bases, it is better to change his name as soon as possible before arresting him!”
“Are we just going to surrender to a pirate?” A Mohawk-haired vice admiral said dissatisfiedly. He would be the future elite vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Flying Squirrel.
“It’s not about surrendering, but just to reduce losses. From the report this time, we can confirm that the other party is a swordsman, and his strength is enough to kill the colonel of the headquarters and destroy a branch base. If we don’t agree to his demands, then more branch bases and soldiers will definitely be sacrificed!” He said seriously.
As an advisor, she cannot be disturbed by emotions and must make the most correct choice from a calm perspective.
The same is true for Zhan Guo. He can be called a wise general, so he will naturally not be blinded by anger. Even though he now wants to kill the cruel Di Mu personally, he must also consider the overall situation.
“Notify the News Department to immediately change the name of ‘Sword Carrier’ and inform the world within three days. At the same time, notify other bases near the 96th branch base and have them all enter a state of martial law. In addition, if any situation of ‘Sword Carrier’ is discovered, report to me immediately!” Zhan Guo gave instructions quickly and ordered.
“Hmph!” A cold snort came from Akainu’s nose, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the decision made by Tsuru and Sengoku. If it were him, he would never surrender to the pirates, and he would have to kill the other side even if it meant sacrificing more people.
Sengoku naturally saw Akainu’s dissatisfaction, but since he had different ideas, he naturally followed his own ideas. After dealing with it, he continued the meeting that had not yet ended.
(It will be available soon, probably in the next few days, I hope you can support it, please collect, give flowers, and reward!!!)
Chapter 52 Small Goals (Old Version)
The Navy’s News Department is linked to all major newspapers, so if they want to issue a statement or news, the speed is incredibly fast. In less than three days, a large number of news birds fly from the newspapers to all over the world.
Somewhere in the sea of ​​the Grand Line, a ship was sailing slowly. On the deck, Di Mu was sitting quietly practicing sword Zen as usual.
Because of the ‘electrode strengthening’, Di Mu usually does not need to do equipment training. It is enough to adapt his body after the ‘electrode strengthening’. Therefore, most of the time he mainly uses sword Zen to condense his sword heart and practice kendo.
Crash~Ooooh~!
A sound of flapping wings and birds chirping appeared on the deck, which made Di Mu open his eyes and stop practicing sword meditation.
“Oh, this is the first time. You always ignore me on weekdays. Why are you so sensible and come down today?” Di Mu raised his eyebrows and looked surprised when he saw the news bird standing on the deck railing with a small bag around its neck and a newspaper in its pocket.
It is not known if it is because Di Mu is too violent. From the time he went out to sea until now, every time a news bird flew over, it would not stay on his boat, as if it would be killed by Di Mu as soon as it came down, and it would stay away from him.
Although he was very upset that the news bird had been ignoring his behavior, Di Mu would not really get angry with a bird.
After taking out a hundred Baileys bill and putting it into the mouth of the news bird, it immediately grabbed the Bailey, threw the newspaper in its arms onto the deck, and then flew away in a hurry as if its butt was on fire.
“Damn, am I that scary!” Di Mu was furious, then he touched his face. He didn’t look fierce, but rather a little handsome. These news birds must be blind.
Di Mu picked up the newspaper on the deck angrily, then opened it and prepared to read to see if there was any big news recently.
As soon as the newspaper was opened, several recently issued bounty warrants slipped out from the newspaper. Di Mu looked down and when he saw one of the bounty warrants, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly caught it.
“Hey, the navy is pretty fast. They changed the bounty for me. Let me see what cool name they gave me. Huh?! What the hell is Dark Swordsman?” Di Mu looked at the bounty in his hand with a confused look on his face.
This bounty order was issued by the Navy after it changed Di Mu’s name, together with this news and the latest bounty order.
The photo is still the same one, and the reward amount has also been increased from the original 58 million berries to 120 million berries, but the problem is that the changed name seems a bit childish no matter how Di Mu looks at it.
‘Dark Swordsman’, Swordsman Di Mu admitted it, but why is it dark? Although his heart is indeed a little dark, but no matter from which angle you look at it, he is still a sunny and handsome young boy.
“Forget it. It’s a waste of youth if you don’t behave like a middle school student. So let it be dark. It’s much better than something like ‘Sword Carrying Man’!” After complaining about the poor naming talent of the Navy Headquarters for a while, Di Mu comforted himself again.
After accepting the title of ‘Dark Swordsman’, Di Mu also saw that his name was indeed mentioned on the bounty order, and it was no longer just the title that represented him.
Then Di Mu also flipped through the newspaper, where he saw the news that the World Government was about to hold a World Conference, and that the kings of the allied countries would go to Mary Geoise.
Throwing the newspaper he had just read into the corner, Di Mu walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the sea in the distance.
Now he has officially started his voyage on the Grand Line, and he will inevitably clash with the navy and pirates in the days to come.
Everyone needs a goal. Di Mu has no desire to dominate, nor does he have much desire for wealth. The only thing he wants is to make himself stronger and never feel the sadness of being weak again.
“Goal? Becoming the strongest in the world seems a bit too vague. Then I’ll set a small goal for myself for the time being. Well, then I’ll kill one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea first, and then take the position myself, and take the first step to become stronger in this ocean!” Di Mu touched his chin, then turned around and walked into the cabin, taking out the permanent pointers that had been saved.
Now that we have set a small goal, we have to work hard to achieve it. Now all the Seven Warlords of the Sea used by the World Government to balance the forces of the sea are in place.
The members are the same as in the original work, namely…
The world’s greatest swordsman: Djordje Mihawk!
One of the giants of the dark world: Donquixote Doflamingo!
Tyrant: Bartholomew Bear!
Emperor of Nine Snake Island: Boa Hancock!
Fishman Island Sea Knight: Jinbei!
The user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit: Gekko Moriah!
The user of the Sand-Sand Fruit: Sand Crocodile!
Di Mu would definitely pick on the weak, and without hesitation he targeted Gekko Moriah and Crocodile, two unlucky guys who were known as the weakest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in their previous lives, except for the future God Buggy.
“Well, I don’t know Armament Haki yet. Although the Sand-Sand Fruit is restrained by water, it is still a bit troublesome to deal with him. As expected, Gekko Moriah is the weakest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!” Di Mu muttered to himself, and quickly decided on the target to kill. At the same time, he also checked the permanent pointers one by one.
Even though Gekko Moriah is the weakest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was once a pirate who was offered a bounty of 320 million berries. He must strengthen his strength to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Di Mu found the permanent pointer because he wanted to find an island suitable for cultivation so that he could further his studies.
The permanent pointers that Di Mu obtained at this time were far more than those snatched from the North Sea Auction House. He spent a huge price in the Dark Exchange to exchange for permanent pointers to most of the islands in the Grand Line.
Looking at the permanent pointers one by one, Di Mu looked at the name of the island marked on the permanent pointers, and recalled the information about the island through the knowledge he had learned in the base.
Because of its abnormal climate, the Grand Route is generally divided into Spring Island, Summer Island, Winter Island, and Autumn Island, which represent the four seasons.
After looking at all the permanent pointers, Di Mu finally selected three places suitable for further study and practice.
(It will be available soon, please support, collect, give flowers, monthly tickets, and rewards. I don’t ask for much, just some support!)
Chapter 53: The Mysterious Island (Old Version)
As for cultivation, in addition to one’s own hard work, a cruel environment can also force out one’s potential and improve the effect of cultivation. This is the case with the three islands chosen by Di Mu.
There are three islands: a winter island covered with ice and snow, a summer island with many volcanoes, and a mysterious island.
The first ice and snow island is not only a winter island, but also has a very cruel climate. The temperature is around minus 100 degrees all year round, and it is always covered with thick ice and snow.
The second island is just the opposite. Because there are many volcanoes on the island, the climate is extremely hot, much hotter than the desert kingdom of Alabasta.
As for the third island, it can only be described as mysterious, its name is ‘Netman’!
Di Mu thought for a long time before he remembered that he had seen a few words about “Netman” in a book in the library of the base, which warned people that it was a nightmare place, a life forbidden zone, and extremely dangerous.
Obviously, Di Mu, who always had a tendency to seek death, suddenly became very interested in the situation on the Netman Island, and directly decided to make it the first place to practice. If it didn’t work, he would find another one from the other two islands to practice.
————————————Please collect! Please give me flowers! ——————————————————————
At the helm, Di Mu steered the ship in the direction of the permanent pointer of ‘Netman’. After spending half a month, he successfully appeared in a somewhat strange sea area.
“Is this the Netman Island? It looks quite ordinary!” Coming to the bow, Di Mu looked at the island which was not far away. He could already see that the island was covered with a forest full of primitive atmosphere.
However, Di Mu also found some strange things. For example, in the waters near the small island of Netman, there were very few fish and the sea surface was extremely calm, which was completely unlike what the Grand Line should be like.
This situation is a bit like the calm before the storm. The more ordinary it is, the more likely it is that a terrible crisis is hidden.
Di Mu couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, and then carefully steered the boat towards a small island not far away. Miraculously, nothing happened in the end, and they successfully arrived at the seashore outside the beach.
The bottom of the boat hit the reef and ran aground. Di Mu didn’t care, but lowered the anchor to prevent the boat from being swept away by the waves after he got off the boat.
“Uh, it seems that there are no waves in this sea area!” Suddenly, when the anchor was dropped into the water, Di Mu realized the abnormality of the sea area.
Scratching his head, Di Mu thought it was better to be cautious. Who knows if there will be any sudden changes in this sea area? It is better than losing the ship and being stranded on the island.
Feeling that the weather was a bit hot, Di Mu, carrying ‘Moxue’ on his back, jumped off the boat wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and wave shorts, landed in the sea water on the shore which was only half a meter deep, and then walked towards the island.
After crossing the shallow water area of ​​the beach, Di Mu stepped onto the sand, but in just a moment his face suddenly changed.
Di Mu seemed to have lost his balance, and his body swayed and fell toward the beach at his feet. But just when he was about to fall face first onto the ground, he reacted quickly and hurriedly supported himself on the beach with both hands. Fine sand splashed up, and his hands sank deeply into the sand.
“There is indeed something wrong with this island. Is this feeling gravity?” Di Mu’s breathing became a little rapid. He felt a strong sense of oppression everywhere in his body, and his heart was full of doubt.
From the moment he stepped onto the island, Di Mu felt as if he was carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight on his back, and his whole body was filled with heaviness.
Di Mu summoned up his strength and stood up unsteadily, looking at the island in front of him in doubt.
This island turned out to be a gravity island, and the oppressive feeling transmitted from the body showed that the gravity was at least five times that of the outside world.
Not only that, gravity is different from weight. Not only does the surface of the body need to bear five times its own weight, but the internal organs of the body also have to bear the same weight. It can be said that the burden on the body is extremely heavy.
Di Mu was suddenly subjected to the pressure of five times gravity without any precautions. His internal organs were almost damaged and he almost vomited blood. Even now he still felt that he had difficulty breathing. Obviously, his internal organs were under pressure and their functions were greatly weakened.
Just as Di Mu was marveling at the gravity island in front of him, another big tree suddenly fell down in the forest not far across the beach, and with a roar, a burly and tall figure rushed out like a cheetah and suddenly appeared in front of Di Mu.
“%#￥….!” This burly figure was more than three meters tall, and above his two extremely slender legs was an upper body with explosive muscles. On his shoulders was a huge bone of an unknown beast, and he was dressed like a savage.
After this man who was suspected to be a savage rushed out of the forest, he started to yell a lot of words at Di Mu that Di Mu couldn’t understand, and he was waving a bone in his hand that looked like a mace.
“Is this guy trying to expel me?” Although Di Mu didn’t understand what the other party said, he still made some inferences from his body language.
Just as Di Mu was thinking this, the burly savage saw that Di Mu was motionless, and his dark-skinned, rough face revealed anger and violence.
The savage’s slender legs burst out with a power that was different from his appearance, which actually shattered a large amount of fine sand in an instant, and pushed his burly body to rush violently towards Di Mu, swinging his bones and smashing him fiercely.
“Damn!” Di Mu cursed inwardly. It was exactly as he thought. He quickly exerted force to dodge to the side.
Although his body was suffering from the pressure of five times gravity, Di Mu had not yet become an ordinary person. He just moved slower than in the outside world and required more strength.
The bone of the mace hit Di Mu and created a big hole at the place where he was originally standing, causing countless fine sand to splash everywhere.
Chapter 54: Gravity and Weirdness (Old Version)
Since the other party had started a move, Di Mu naturally would not be polite. After dodging and rushing out seven or eight meters, he drew his sword without hesitation, turned around and slashed with the sword, bursting out a sword energy that was much weaker than that from the outside world.
Under five times the gravity, even the power of the slash was suppressed and weakened a lot. Seeing the sword energy he slashed out, Di Mu frowned slightly.
However, although the power was weakened, the sword energy of the swordsman level was still whistling and sharp, and in the blink of an eye it hit the savage who was lifting the bone.
Blood splattered, the savage screamed in pain, and staggered back to the side. There was a big bloody wound on his waist where he was cut by the sword, and blood kept flowing out of it.
Di Mu’s eyes widened, his heart filled with surprise. Although the power of the sword energy had decreased, it should still be enough to cut through steel. He thought he could cut off the opponent’s body with one sword, but he failed.
“This savage’s body can’t be tougher than steel!” This thought suddenly came to Di Mu’s mind.
Even if one’s body becomes extremely strong living in an environment with five times the gravity, it is impossible to reach the level of steel. Di Mu instantly became confused and curious about this island.
In the outside world, after the savage was wounded in the waist by the sword energy, he became like a wounded beast. He roared at Di Mu in rage, and swung his arm, throwing the thick bone at Di Mu.
The savages were so powerful that the bones they threw out were more ferocious and faster than cannonballs, even making the air whistling.
But Di Mu would naturally not be hit by the torturer’s childish attack. He just stepped on the ground and instantly passed by the whistling bones, and rushed towards the savages like an arrow.
“Magnetic Weapon Slash~!” Di Mu shouted in his heart, and the ‘Ink Blood’ was suddenly surrounded by electric light, and he slashed out with a sword like lightning.
The sword energy flashing with electric current roared out, and in almost the blink of an eye it cut through the arms and body of the savage who was trying to grab the sword energy.
Blood gushed out, and the savage was broken into two halves at the waist. Even the arm that was grabbing the sword energy was cut open. With the blood spurting out, he fell directly on the beach.
“This island seems a bit weird, but the super-gravity environment is truly a holy place for cultivation. I’ve decided to practice on this island next time!” Di Mu sheathed his sword and did not look at the dead savage. Instead, he looked at the island with excitement.
Through the battle just now, Di Mu discovered that although super gravity would produce strong pressure on the body, internal organs, and strikes, it could also accelerate the improvement of strength.
——————————————Please collect! Please give me flowers! ————————————————————
In the next month, while practicing, Di Mu also explored Gravity Island almost completely. He found that not only modern beasts lived on the island, but also dinosaurs and beasts from ancient times.
In addition, there was not just one savage he encountered when he first arrived on the island. On the contrary, Di Mu discovered that there were two savage tribes living on the island. Each tribe had at least two hundred people. All adults were at least three meters tall, and each was no weaker than the original savage.
After discovering the savage tribe, Di Mu retreated quickly. Just kidding, these savages were quite powerful. He could still deal with one, but if there were dozens or hundreds of them, he might be defeated.
Instead of rashly coming into contact with the savages, Di Mu finally found a wilderness area on the other side of the island to adapt to the island’s five times gravity.
Even though Di Mu is less than thirteen years old and less than 1.6 meters tall, his muscles are extremely tight due to years of exercise and “electrode strengthening”. He looks thin, but actually weighs about 150 kilograms.
Five times the gravity means that Di Mu’s body has to bear 750 kilograms of pressure, including his internal organs.
At the beginning, Di Mu was naturally very uncomfortable. After all, when he was in the outside world, the same action might only require one point of strength, but now it requires five points or even seven or eight points of strength to do it.
However, Di Mu was also very perseverant. He started with the simplest long-distance running, and then gradually used basic exercises to allow his body to adapt to the changes in gravity.
During this period, Di Mu also discovered a strange situation. Because he was curious about the strangeness of the island, he deliberately caught an animal and threw it out of the island. It turned out that the animal exploded and died after leaving the island, as if there was a bomb installed in its body.
But what is even more strange is that when Di Mu takes the dead animals out of the island, they do not explode and die.
Di Mu was naturally surprised by this situation, but because he found that such a situation had never happened before when he had lived on the island for a while, he finally got used to it.
The Grand Line is a magical place that cannot be explained by common sense and so-called science. Gravity Island is just one of them. If Di Mu really wants to find out the truth, he wonders whether he should continue to practice.
Since it would not cause any harm to himself, Di Mu naturally didn’t care much about it and continued to adapt to the super-gravity environment and practice.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed!
After spending three months adapting to the five-times gravity environment, Di Mu began to hone his strength by using the ferocious beasts from the two eras on the island.
Like the savages, the beasts on the island live in a super-gravity environment. Although they look ordinary, they actually have extraordinary strength and strong bodies.
The same is true for Di Mu. Although after adapting to five times the gravity, it seems that he has only exerted the same strength as in the outside world, but once he leaves the super-gravity environment, his true strength will inevitably erupt.
“It seems that his strength has increased rapidly during this period!” Standing next to a velociraptor whose head he had cut off, Di Mu thoughtfully put away his sword and picked up the corpse, preparing to use it as his lunch.
After more than half a year, Di Mu successfully turned thirteen, and was even thirteen and a half years old.
(It will be on the shelves in the next few days. I would like to ask everyone to support this book by collecting, giving flowers, monthly tickets, and rewards. It doesn’t need to be much, just the intention is enough!)
Chapter 55: Mysterious Sacrifice (Old Version)
Of course, the most important thing is that Di Mu discovered that his strength has improved much faster during this period than before. Although the amount of practice is the same, the effect has indeed been improved.
Just as Di Mu carried the velociraptor’s corpse back to the shore where he had been resting, he finally realized the reason.
He finally started his second development, and as his body grew towards adulthood, he also entered a golden period of growth where his strength increased.
A person’s life can be roughly divided into four stages: childhood, youth, middle age, and old age.
Di Mu knew that when people are in their childhood, because the functions of all aspects of their body are not yet fully developed, no matter how hard they train, their strength will not improve dramatically. Instead, the effect of training will be weak.
What is different is that when people enter adolescence from childhood, as their bodies develop, their functions in all aspects will not be continuously improved.
This stage is called the ‘golden growth period’ by the instructors at the CP base, which means that the training conducted during this developmental stage will fully bring out the training effect, and it is also the time when a person’s strength increases the fastest.
As for the prime time and old age, there is no need to say much. Although one can also improve strength through practice in the prime time, it is more about maintaining the body’s functions and preventing them from deteriorating.
In old age, as the body’s various functions decline rapidly due to aging, it is already difficult to maintain strength, let alone become stronger.
At the age of thirteen and a half, Di Mu had entered the ‘golden growth period’ from childhood to youth. It was for this reason that he felt that although he was practicing the same training as before, his strength was improving faster than before.
After realizing that he had entered the ‘golden growth period’, Di Mu was naturally very happy. This was not only because his strength would see a blowout, but also because he had finally begun to develop, and soon he would no longer have to ‘look at his younger brother and sigh’.
Di Mu happily ate the barbecue made from the velociraptor, but still felt unfulfilled, so he caught another huge tiger and had a tiger feast.
“These past few days I’ve always seen those savages sneaking towards the valley behind the mountain. I don’t know what they were doing!” After eating and drinking, Di Mu stood up while picking his teeth. After putting out the fire, he began to mutter to himself.
Because he was worried about being besieged, Di Mu paid special attention to the situation of the two savage tribes when he was practicing on the island. However, in the past few days, he found that the whereabouts of the savages were a bit strange.
Di Mu once explored the valley behind the forest from a distance. Apart from the lush vegetation and a relatively large pool of water in the middle, there was nothing special about it.
Di Mu was very curious about the savage’s strange whereabouts. Anyway, ever since he adapted to five times the gravity, the beasts on the island were basically no match for him. Next, he was going to hone his strength against the savage, so this time he would go to the valley to investigate carefully.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. Di Mu carried “Moxue” tightly on his back and rushed into the forest as fast as a cheetah, moving quickly towards the valley behind him.
Soon, after actively avoiding the beasts in the forest, Di Mu arrived near the valley and could see the gap-like entrance to the valley from afar.
“Huh, what a coincidence!” Di Mu was just moving forward when he suddenly stopped and saw an old savage and three middle-aged savages looking at the corpses of various huge beasts appearing not far away and then carefully walked into the entrance of the valley.
The moment Di Mu saw the savage, he immediately hid himself behind a big tree that was hugged by several people. When he saw the savage enter the valley, his eyes flashed and he immediately lurked over.
“This is a good opportunity to see what these savages are doing in the valley!” Di Mu said to himself. After sneaking into the valley, he hid his tracks by using the lush plants along the way and followed behind several savages.
After a while, the savages arrived at the center of the gourd-shaped valley, which was also the location of the pool of water that Di Mu had seen when he explored from afar.
Di Mu was hiding behind a rock not far behind several savages. From a distance, he saw the old savage suddenly kneeling down towards the pool, muttering something, while the other three strong savages carefully placed the corpses of various ferocious beasts they were carrying to the edge of the pool.
After doing all this, the old savage stood up, quickly picked a blood-red fruit like an apple from several gorgeous red plants growing by the pond, and then ran quickly towards the entrance of the valley with three strong savages.
Di Mu hurriedly hid in the other direction of the rock to avoid being discovered by the savages who were running back, and then stared at them leaving.
“Why did the situation just now seem a bit like a sacrifice, but what were those blood-red fruits picked by the old savage at the end!” Question marks seemed to appear in Di Mu’s mind, and he was full of doubts about what had just happened.
Just as Di Mu was daydreaming, suddenly there was a loud sound of waves coming from not far away. He was startled and hurriedly looked out from behind the rock to the pool of water.
“What is this…?!” The moment Di Mu saw the pool of water, his eyes almost popped out and his heart was beating as violently as an engine running at full power.
In Di Mu’s sight, the pool of water was forming waves without any wind, and after a while, a ferocious head as big as a house slowly rose up from the churning water.
Its head has antelope-like horns, its face is like a horse’s but more ferocious and full of sharp teeth, and its skin is covered with scales like fish scales the size of a palm.
“How could there be a dragon here~!” Di Mu exclaimed in his heart, feeling as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping through his heart. He never thought that he would see a dragon appear just out of curiosity. His face was full of disbelief.
Yes, that ferocious head was exactly the dragon head that Di Mu remembered, and it was a black dragon known as the Western Dragon on Earth.
Chapter 56: Black Dragon in the Deep Pool (Old Version)
As Di Mu watched in disbelief, as the dragon head rose from the pool, two scaly dragon wings that were more than a hundred meters long appeared, covering the sky. The strong and slender dragon body floated one-third above the water surface. It was not only tens of meters long, but also revealed two sharp claws.
Gulp~!
Di Mu couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, calming down the nervousness and excitement in his heart.
This is a dragon. Although it is a Western dragon, it is not comparable to the Western stuff like the Millennium Dragon. Instead, it is a mythical creature that represents power and terror.
“I’m going to kill it!” Di Mu’s suicidal habit was aroused once again. After the initial shock passed, his eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the black dragon in the pool.
Slaying a dragon. Ever since a certain swordsman accomplished the incredible feat of slaying a dragon, almost every swordsman has been eager to fulfill this dream.
Brady, who once taught Di Mu the art of swordsmanship and was regarded as his teacher by Di Mu, once told Di Mu about and praised the feat of slaying the dragon, and also described this feat with sacred words.
There is no swordsman who does not regard “slaying the dragon” as his dream, and this is also true for Di Mu, who has learned a lot from Brady.
Now, when he saw a real dragon that existed in mythology appear in front of him, the first thought that came to Di Mu’s mind as a swordsman was to “slay the dragon”.
Di Mu’s body was shaking with excitement, and he almost couldn’t hold back and rushed forward to fight with the black dragon in the pool.
“No, don’t be impulsive!” Di Mu bit the tip of his tongue to calm himself down, and with his tenacious will, he suppressed the Hong Huang power that was stirring in his body.
Now is not the time. The strength of this black dragon is still unknown, and once the battle starts, it will definitely alarm the savages on the island. He must be fully prepared.
Since these savages had worshipped the black dragon like a sacrifice before, they must have regarded the black dragon as their patron saint. Di Mu wanted to kill the patron saint of the savages, so it would be strange if they did not get furious.
“I must have no worries before I can kill this black dragon!” Di Mu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then carefully looked up the black dragon in the pool.
Just like in myths and legends, this black dragon that looks like a western dragon appears particularly ferocious and hideous. At the same time, the scales covering its entire body, its bulging muscles and its sharp claws fully prove that this black dragon is extremely terrifying in terms of defense, strength and attack power.
The black dragon did not roar after one-third of its body floated to the surface. Instead, its light golden eyes, which were filled with coldness and ruthlessness, opened its mouth wide when it saw the ferocious beast left by the savages by the pond, and began to bite and swallow.
The black dragon’s teeth were also extremely sharp. The bones of those ferocious beasts were like tofu in its mouth, and they turned into crumbs with a single bite and chew.
Seeing this scene, Di Mu’s heart trembled. If he fought with this black dragon, he must not be bitten, otherwise he would surely die miserably.
Being alert, Di Mu began to observe the black dragon carefully. Suddenly, when his eyes swept over the black dragon’s belly just exposed above the water, his eyes stopped.
“This black dragon actually has injuries on its body!” Di Mu’s eyes showed surprise, and he stared at the black dragon’s abdomen.
There was a wound nearly ten meters long, which seemed to be cut by some sharp weapon. It was obvious that the scales with strong defense were also cut off by this wound.
Of course, the most important thing is that the wound on the black dragon’s abdomen did not heal. Instead, bright red blood flowed out from it from time to time, and then was diluted by the water in the pool.
“Could it be that someone had come here before me and injured this black dragon?” Di Mu couldn’t help but think.
With the eyes of a swordsman, Di Mu could easily determine that the wound on the Black Dragon’s abdomen was definitely caused by a sword. It was obviously impossible for the Black Dragon to do it himself. Instead, it was very likely that the Black Dragon had fought with a swordsman and was finally injured.
Di Mu has not actually fought a black dragon, so he does not know the specific defensive strength of the black dragon’s scales, but the dragon itself is synonymous with strength.
From the fact that he was able to kill the black dragon, Di Mu could imagine that the mysterious swordsman was at least a swordsman at the master level, and was very likely even a great swordsman.
But one thing is certain, since the black dragon is injured, Di Mu’s chances of killing it will undoubtedly become greater.
Hiding quietly behind the rocks, Di Mu used a method of hiding specially used for assassinations to prevent being discovered by the Black Dragon. His breathing was almost undetectable.
Not long after, all the ferocious beasts brought by the savages were devoured by the black dragon, and the black dragon slowly sank into the pool. If it were not for the scene just now, no one would have thought that there were mythical creatures hidden in this pool.
When the pool returned to calm and the ripples disappeared, Di Mu walked out silently from behind the rock, then rushed out quickly, picked a blood-red fruit from the side of the pool that the old savage had picked before leaving, and then used his shaving skill directly and left towards the entrance of the valley.
“Fortunately, it seems that the black dragon will not come out of the pool after picking this fruit!” Di Mu rushed out of the valley in one breath and came to the nearby open space. He looked into the valley and felt relieved when he saw that there was no movement.
Looking down at the blood-red fruit in his hand that looked like an apple, Di Mu thought for a moment and put it away, then sneaked towards the nearest savage tribe.
Although the savages were strong, they only relied on their bodies to fight. Di Mu was hiding on a high ground not far from the tribe and could easily see the situation inside the tribe.
Di Mu came here to see what the old savage was going to do after picking the blood-red fruit, and the next scene told him the answer.
Although Di Mu left the valley a little late, when he arrived at the tribe to check, he happened to see the old savage crushing the blood-red fruit and mixing it with water, and then distributing it to the children in the tribe for consumption.
After seeing that the savage children did not show any adverse reaction after drinking the water mixed with blood-red fruit juice and flesh, and instead were extremely happy, Di Mu quietly left.
“It seems that there is nothing wrong with this blood-red fruit and it can be eaten directly. However, judging from the situation just now, this blood-red fruit seems to be extremely important in the savage tribe. Only young children can use it. Could it be some kind of rare treasure?” After returning to the place for rest and lunch, Di Mu couldn’t help but look at the blood-red fruit carefully, and his mind was full of random thoughts.
Chapter 57: The Moon Rises and the Stars Fall (Please add your collection and flowers!) (Old version)
Isn’t it said that a dragon’s body is full of treasures? This blood-red fruit obviously grew from lake water mixed with dragon blood. It is just like a ‘blood bodhi’.
Di Mu’s heart was full of anticipation. Although he did not have any internal skills, if the blood-red fruit was really like the ‘Blood Bodhi’, then it would definitely bring benefits to him.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Di Mu started eating without hesitation and swallowed the blood-red fruit including the core in no time.
“Here it comes, there is indeed a reaction. I feel like there is a fire burning in my stomach!” Not long after eating, as Di Mu expected, his body also showed an abnormal reaction, which made his eyes light up immediately.
A feeling that was a bit hot but more like a warm current spread throughout his body, and Di Mu could feel that his body seemed to be moaning.
This feeling is very similar to the comfortable feeling that Di Mu gets when he recovers with electrotherapy after undergoing “electrode strengthening”.
The warm current lasted for more than ten minutes before dissipating, and Di Mu moved back and forth for a while, and found that there was no harm to his body. On the contrary, he seemed to have more strength and his body became a little tougher.
“Wait, the bodies of those savages are as tough as steel. Could it be because they ate the blood-red fruit?” Di Mu seemed to have thought of something, and a look of intense surprise appeared in his eyes.
When he was hunting the wild beasts on the island these days, he found that although these beasts were very strong under the pressure of gravity, their bodies were not as tough as that of the savage, but were within the normal range.
And now, after discovering that the blood-red fruit seemed to increase strength and physical toughness, Di Mu thought about the special situation of the savages and easily analyzed the reason.
Obviously, the reason why the savages on the island have bodies as tough as steel is not due to the gravity environment. The key is that they have been using blood-red fruits since childhood, which makes their strength and physical toughness extraordinary.
This discovery made Di Mu very excited. Who doesn’t want to have a good body? If the blood-red fruit can really enhance the body’s toughness, then it would be equivalent to letting him find another way to become stronger.
Not only that, the blood-red fruit only grows from the pond water mixed with dragon blood. Just some blood water has such a great effect. Di Mu absolutely believes that the effect of real dragon blood will be even more amazing.
Di Mu became more and more fanatical about the idea of ​​”slaying the dragon”, so he began to prepare for it and first destroyed the savage tribe that worshiped the black dragon.
In the next month, in addition to normal training, Di Mu’s hunting and training targets have completely shifted from wild beasts to savages.
Di Mu was able to kill the savages when he just arrived at Gravity Island, let alone now.
Whenever he found a lone savage, Di Mu would attack without hesitation and kill the opponent with lightning speed.
In just one month, the two savage tribes lost a total of one-third of their adult savages, which made the savages finally realize that something was wrong. They were so scared that no savage would leave the tribe alone again.
“Do you think everything will be fine if you don’t come out? Humph!” After Di Mu found that there were no lone savages, and even the savages in their tribes rarely went out, he carried his sword and headed towards one of the savage tribes.
Before slaying the dragon, the “ink blood” must be sharpened to be brighter and sharper. In Di Mu’s heart, the savages on the island are his whetstones.
Soon, Di Mu arrived near one of the savage tribes. Looking closely, he could see a group of burly savages gathered in a wall made of branches, seemingly holding some kind of discussion.
Di Mu had already explored the two savage tribes. From his previous hunting, he knew that the number of people in the savage tribe before him was about one hundred, half of whom were old people and children, and the other half were adult savages who were the main force.
“It seems that we have come at the right time!” When Di Mu saw that the savages had gathered together in the tribe, a cold smile appeared on his face.
The half year of training on the island was not in vain. In addition to the improvement in strength, Di Mu also developed a sword technique after discovering that his swordsmanship lacked large-scale attack. Now is the best opportunity to test his sword.
With his backhand, Di Mu took off “Moxue” along with its scabbard from his back, and stared at the savage tribe not far away through the gap in the woods. With a “draw the sword and slash” posture, he lowered his body and put “Moxue” with its scabbard on his left waist. He held the hilt of “Moxue” tightly with his right hand and held the scabbard firmly with his left hand.
Crackling～～～!
The energy of electric current burst out and passed through his hands to the “ink blood” and the scabbard, making the electric light swirling and dazzling.
“Magnetic Martial Slash: Moon Rising~!”
As if chanting, Di Mu let out a low shout, and instantly all the strength in his right arm burst out to draw the sword. Instantly, a strong light and electric arcs burst out from the blade and scabbard of “Moxue”.
The sword blade seemed to be suddenly released from a powerful pressure, and the moment it was unsheathed, it slashed out with a shocking sword, bursting out with a super-large electric sword energy like a crescent moon, and rushed to the sky of the savage tribe not far away like a whistling sound.
“Starfall~!”
Seeing that the slash had reached the target, Di Mu laughed softly, and invisible electromagnetic force suddenly burst out from his body, instantly resonating with the super-large electric sword energy.
Before the savages in the tribe could react, the super-large electric sword energy that rushed into the sky above them suddenly exploded, and small electric sword energy fell like a rainstorm within a hundred meters.
It was like a bombing, the densely packed small electric sword energies that fell down destroyed everything they touched, and also pierced bloody holes in the bodies of the savages.
Screams and roars echoed endlessly. When the rain of sword energy stopped, the tribe had become devastated, with small holes emitting black smoke everywhere. At the same time, blood flowed like a river, and the ground was littered with the corpses of savages who had been shot into sieves.
