Pirates: Awakening of the Divine Religion, I just want to teach and preach Chapter 041

Boom—

The screen suddenly shattered.

Vein’s mind jolted, and countless experiences, movements, and practical combat techniques of swordsmanship flooded into his mind, completely integrating into his memory and body.

It was as if he had directly undergone several years of arduous swordsmanship training, mastering the techniques of the Flame Severing Secret Art to perfection.

At the same time, an incredibly sharp light shot out from Vein’s eyes, startling Doberman and making his hair stand on end.

What an intense sword intent!

Is this Teacher Vein’s swordsmanship level?

Doberman, who had just comprehended Steel Severing Will and broken through to the Swordsman realm, immediately put away his inner complacency. The respect in his eyes towards Vein grew even stronger.

Exhaling a long breath of stale air, Vein finally recovered from the immense power of the Flame Severing Sword Art Secret.

Feeling his current strength, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the handle of the broken blade in his hand. A sense of tempered smoothness and familiarity arose spontaneously.

A strong self-confidence naturally emanated, even giving Vein the illusion that he could cut down a giant dragon with a single strike.

Of course, he was well aware that this was just an illusion.

This was an inflated feeling produced by his rapid increase in strength.

To cut down a giant dragon, one’s swordsmanship level would definitely need to be that of a Grand Swordsman realm expert.

Thinking of this, Vein looked at the panel on the system.

[Current Swordsmanship Level: Swordsman ( 51%)]

If things continued to develop like this, he believed that once he reached 100%, he would be able to break through the Swordsman realm and enter the legendary Grand Swordsman realm.

However, this single improvement was already worth ten times the rewards of teaching…

Vein sighed inwardly, and his gaze towards Doberman grew even more fervent.

This was simply his treasure trove!

As long as Doberman’s strength continued to improve, he would be able to gain multiplied enhancements.

Vein’s strange gaze sent a chill down Doberman’s spine, making him instinctively shrink his neck.

Teacher Vein’s eyes seemed a little off…

“Alright, that’s all for today. Go back and get some good rest.”

Vein smiled and instructed, “I’m looking forward to you more and more, Doberman.”

“It’s all thanks to Teacher Vein’s excellent guidance,” Doberman humbly replied.

This was the truth.

Just simple guidance had helped him break through to the Swordsman realm.

From this, it was clear how profound and unfathomable Teacher Vein’s swordsmanship level was.

The more Doberman thought about it, the more he rejoiced that he had taken the initiative to apologize.

That was how he had fortunately gained Teacher Vein’s appreciation and become his disciple.

[Your disciple Doberman’s approval rating for you has increased by 3%. Current approval rating: 77%]

Doberman bowed deeply to Vein again, then turned and left.

Vein smiled, pushed open the door to the family quarters, and walked into his home.

A Doberman with an A-rank potential evaluation could give him such an astonishing increase in strength.

Then what about Sakazuki and Borsalino, who had SSS-rank potential evaluations?

He couldn’t even imagine.

But one thing was certain: if he could take those two guys as disciples, with their terrifying potential.

Breaking through and getting stronger would be as simple as drinking water and eating. By then, he’d probably be able to possess Admiral-level combat power even by lying down.

“It’s really getting more and more exciting…”

Vein closed the door and poured himself a glass of water. Just as he took a sip, he suddenly froze.

He looked at the ripples in the cup and, as if possessed, directly poured the water onto the floor.

The water poured down like a torrent in mid-air.

Vein’s eyes suddenly sharpened. Taking a deep breath, he spread the five fingers of his right hand and slammed them down hard on the falling water.

Dada da—

Under his slap, the water instantly transformed into countless pear-blossom-like raindrops, rapidly sinking into the wooden floor.

Under the moonlight streaming in from the window, countless shallow pits, like bullet holes, were clearly visible on the wooden floor.

“As expected!”

A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Vein’s eyes.

This was the Fish-Man Karate skill—Water Control!

Through the power of soft martial arts, he controlled the water flow, shooting it out like dense fine needles.

Fish-Man Karate—Thousand-Strike Water!

Looking at the marks on the wooden floor, Vein judged at a glance that the power of this move was absolutely no less than that of a conventional flintlock pistol shot.

Although this was not enough to pose a threat to strong individuals, Vein had not forgotten that this was just the beginning.

He looked at the system panel’s introduction to this ability.

[Physique: Fish-Man Karate (Beginner: 8%)—Possesses preliminary water control techniques, water affinity increased by 30%, preliminary mastery of Fish-Man Karate combat techniques.]

[Evaluation: A very subtle ability. Continue to cultivate it, and you will possess considerable combat ability in water.]

[But don’t forget, you are not a true fish-man after all.]

You don’t have to remind me like that, do you?

Seeing the evaluation given by the system, Vein’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

The Fish-Man race was one of the strongest races in this world.

Adult fish-men possessed several times the arm strength and physical strength of humans. Their robust physiques made them natural warriors.

The most important point was that the Fish-Man race’s unique bloodline advantage gave them underwater survival and combat capabilities unimaginable to humans.

Gill-like respiratory organs allowed the Fish-Man race to move and survive freely at the bottom of the sea.

The web-like physiological structures on their palms also granted them high-speed swimming ability underwater.

In an underwater environment, the Fish-Man race could unleash at least twice their land-based strength, while the situation for humans was exactly the opposite.

Although there were anomalies like Silvers Rayleigh in the original story, who could swim through the Calm Belt from the Sabaody Archipelago.

But that was Silvers Rayleigh—the Right Hand of the Pirate King!

How many Silvers Rayleighs were there in this vast ocean?

Overall, the Fish-Man race was the darling of the sea.

Perhaps it was for this very reason that humans were so greedy, resentful, and cruel towards this race.

“Although I’m not a true fish-man, stronger underwater survival ability is undoubtedly better. At least I’ll have some means of self-preservation.”

Vein looked at the explanation on the panel that stated he possessed preliminary water control techniques and a 30% increase in water affinity. A fervent gleam flashed in his eyes behind his black-rimmed glasses.

To gain such an enhancement just by being at the beginner level, as he continued to improve his mastery of Fish-Man Karate in the future.

Even if his underwater survival and combat abilities couldn’t match those of true fish-men in the end, they would still be enough to crush humans.

The more trump cards, the better. Vein understood this principle better than anyone.

If he hadn’t possessed multiple trump cards and abilities, he would never have been able to rescue Zephyr’s child from that group of pirates that day, and might even have died on the spot.
