Chapter 85 Guiding Nami’s Training (Ch 85)

As the night deepened, the lights on Pala Island were bright.
A group of pirates gathered around the fire with their bare chests, practicing basic swordsmanship according to the sword techniques that Gawain had taught them before.
Even though many people were exhausted after a whole day of practice, they did not have the slightest intention of giving up.
After all, there are exactly one hundred people who can participate in the dividend distribution, and all the people in the entire pirate group together only have more than two hundred people.
In other words, as long as you work hard, there is more than a one-third chance of getting dividend rights. How can this not be exciting?
For a moment, everyone was fighting for their lives.
In this kind of atmosphere, even some people who were originally giving up could not help but join the big group and start to roll in madly.
“The environment really does affect people’s will.”
Gawain sat at his desk, looking at the lights in the harbor and the sweaty crowd, and nodded silently:
“It’s better to curl it a little bit, it’s better to curl it a little bit.”
Then a familiar system prompt sounded directly in Gawain’s mind:
“Physical experience +711!”
“Swordsmanship experience +443!”
“Killing experience +61”
“Observation Haki experience +103!”
…
“How much physical strength has been increased?”
Gao Wen scratched his ears, called up the system panel, glanced at the increase in various data, and laughed so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth.
“When Sanji rolled up, his physical experience tripled?!”
“Not only that, the experience of death scoop and experience of seeing and hearing have increased significantly.”
“Even the swordsmanship experience provided by the seriously injured Zoro remains the same? Won’t there be more when his injury heals?”
“Some of them may be brought by ordinary pirates, but there won’t be many of them. The main ones are the four great kings.”
Gao Wen thought about it for a moment and the smile on his face widened.
At this rate, it would take less than half a month for both physical strength and swordsmanship to reach level 10, and then a whole new branch of abilities would be awakened.
Gao Wen has experienced the benefits of branching capabilities many times, and each time it brings about a qualitative change.
Both physical strength and swordsmanship are the core of Gawain’s combat power, and the impact of branch entries will only be greater.
“In the future, I will focus my energy on Armament Haki.”
“As for awakening the Armament Haki of Cloe and the others, we still need to wait until they have their physical strengths up before making any plans.”
“No rush for now.”
Think of this.
Gao Wen had a basic idea of ​​the future development direction, so he suppressed his expectations for new entries, washed up briefly, and turned off the lights in the room.
…
The next day.
Gao Wen changed into loose clothes and prepared to go to the back mountain to practice Armament Haki. When he opened the door, he found Nami standing at the door anxiously with two bamboo swords in her arms.
Seeing Gao Wen coming out, Nami’s eyes lit up and she bowed and said:
“Mr. Gawain, please teach me how to become stronger.”
Gao Wen was stunned and reminded:
“Nami, everyone has areas they excel in. Combat is your weakness, and navigation is where you can shine.”
In fact, even if you read the original work, Nami herself is not the type who is good at fighting.
Even in the battle against Kalifa, he relied on the weather stick made by Usopp and tactical crushing to defeat his opponent.
Gawain had already detected Nami’s potential in combat, but unfortunately, she was only at the Iron level in this regard.
With such talent, no matter how much effort one puts into combat, the best he can achieve is the level that Gawain just crossed over to.
If you really want to become stronger, it is far more efficient than eating a devil fruit.
Facing Gawain’s persuasion, Nami remained unshaken:
“I don’t want to be a burden to you. At least I need to be able to protect myself when facing increasingly powerful opponents in the future.”
Gao Ben wanted to continue to persuade, but when he saw Nami’s firm eyes, he nodded:
“I see.”
“I can teach you my swordsmanship, but this path will be very difficult for you to walk. If there is a suitable devil fruit in the future, I will help you keep an eye out.”
“yes!”
Nami responded excitedly, and then she followed Griffin to the back mountain of Para Island.
On a stone wall on the back mountain of Pala Island.
The surrounding rocks were covered with dense cuts that were extremely deep and long, some of which almost cut through the entire mountain.
Nami was shocked:
“Is this what you left behind from your training, Captain?”
“That’s not the point.”
Gao Wen skipped the topic and took a bamboo sword from Nami, then began to explain the basics of swordsmanship:
“Swordsmanship has many styles and types, and the styles of various schools and swordsmen are completely different, but the ultimate goal they pursue is the same.”
“That is to hit the opponent before he hits you!”
“My own style is to pursue this kind of extremely high efficiency…”
…
After some explanation.
Seeing that Nami was confused, Gawain simply gave up.
After teaching him the basic sword-holding posture, we began actual combat. After all, the body’s memory is often much deeper than the brain’s.
“Now hit me with your knife!”
Nami gripped the bamboo sword tightly in her hand, clenched her teeth, took a step forward, and chopped down at Gawain with the bamboo sword in her hand!
Bang!
Gao Wen picked up Nami’s bamboo sword and hit her head with it:
“The intention is too obvious!”
“Try to observe your opponent’s small movements and judge his next move!”
…
Bang!
“I’m asking you to observe, not to be a wooden man!”
…
Bang!
“I had the foresight, but I didn’t get the timing right for the attack, and my body movements were too stiff!”
…
…
…
Wait until the sun sets.
Nami lay on her back on the stone slab, gasping for breath.
She looked extremely disheveled, and her clothes were already soaked with sweat, outlining her beautiful figure.
Even with the blessing of Gawain’s badge, which reduced the crew’s physical exertion and accelerated recovery, her body was already at its limit.
“Thanks!”
“Mr. Gawain!”
In one day, she hadn’t even reached the threshold of swordsmanship, but the feeling of gradually becoming stronger made her feel extremely secure.
At least I won’t be a burden to my companions in the future.
“Well~”
Gao Wen waved his hand:
“We’ll continue tomorrow!”
Then Gao Wen turned around, found another place, and began to practice Armament Haki.
At the same time.
In the training room, Clo and Ajin stood opposite each other, one holding a claw knife and the other holding an iron crutch, practicing practical training.
Song!
Clo took a step forward and disappeared into the air in an instant. He unfolded his five-finger claw knife and rushed towards Ajin.
bite!
The claw knife and iron crutch collided, sparks flew, and a series of intensive confrontations followed.
Clo, who had started his scoop attack, seemed to be everywhere. His intensive offensive brought Ajin far more pressure than before, so much so that Ajin’s hands, which were tightly holding the iron crutches, were shaking constantly.
The stalemate between the two sides only lasted for a few tens of seconds. Clo seized the opportunity and kicked Ajin away, knocking him against the wall.
Bang!
Ajin fell to the ground and couldn’t get up for a long time.
Even though Cloe tried to slow down his strength, the impact from the high speed was still too strong.
Even with Ajin’s physical condition, he found it a bit too much for a while.
After trying for a while, Ajin still couldn’t get up, so he gave up, lay on his back on the ground, looked at the ceiling, and muttered:
“Has the gap widened?”
“I really can’t accept this!”
