Chapter 86 Bloodbath and Reconciliation (Ch 86)

Clo took off his claw knife, turned around, picked up two towels, threw one on Jin’s face, and then began to wipe the sweat off his body, saying lightly:
“I did hear Gawain mention it before.”
“How far a person can grow is basically determined the moment he is born.”
“He calls it potential.”
“Acquired illness, pain, or even an overly privileged life can lower the upper limit of one’s potential.”
“Maybe you’ve reached your limit.”
Ajin raised his hand and took off the towel from his face. He knew that although what Clo said was a bit harsh, it was all the truth.
Although Crow is the most cunning among the pirates when facing his enemies, he never beats around the bush when facing his companions.
But the more this happened, the more unwilling Ah Jin felt:
“Is there really no way to go any further?”
“I don’t want to have to stay in the East China Sea just because I can’t keep up with the captain.”
“That may not be the case.”
Chloe pushed up his glasses.
“That guy also said that realizing your true nature and awakening your Haki during battle, transforming your body to improve your basic abilities, and the legendary Devil Fruit that can grant you various special abilities can all make you even stronger.”
“Like our death match in Raven Harbor?”
“That’s right.”
Clo nodded:
“Didn’t you also master Observation Haki during that battle?”
“…”
Jin was stunned, feeling his own observation Haki, and clenched his fists:
“With this level of observation Haki, you can’t become the captain’s right-hand man.”
“The cost of body transformation is something I cannot afford. So the only thing left is the devil fruit?”
Clo frowned and said:
“I have to remind you that once you eat a devil fruit, you will become a landlubber who cannot touch seawater.”
“More than 90% of this world is covered by seawater, and the weather on the Grand Line is unpredictable. If you fall into the water, you are basically dead.”
A Jin smiled carefreely:
“But this will help the captain, won’t it?”
“madman!”
Kro shook his head and turned away.
For him, the price he had to pay for the devil fruit was too deadly in this vast ocean.
“Even if I rely on my own practice, I can surpass that monster Gawain.”
“Besides, who would eat something with such huge side effects?!”
…
…
…
When all the pirates in Gawain’s pirate group began to roll inward like crazy and practiced hard one by one, the experience points Gawain gained skyrocketed at a rate much faster than he expected.
After only seven days, his physical strength reached LV-10.
late at night.
Gao Wen sat at his desk and felt his body gradually getting hot and white smoke coming out of his head.
This is a strange phenomenon caused by the rapid division and recombination of cells in the body and the incredibly fast metabolism.
It can be said that in this state, Gawain’s physical ability is changing in a stronger direction with every second.
After a few minutes, the changes in Gawain’s body slowly stopped.
After a brief experience, he had a rough idea of ​​the extent of the improvement this time:
“My basic strength has increased by 30%, and my body’s ability to withstand blows has reached a new level. My agility, which affects my nerve reflex speed and coordination, has also improved significantly.”
“And under the effect of the Balance entry, speed, strength, and physique are improved simultaneously, ensuring that each attribute can be brought into play to its theoretical maximum value.”
“Now I have to control the speed of the flash step. My control is much greater!”
“Besides, the main course is still to come.”
After saying that.
Gao Wen’s attention was once again drawn to the system panel in front of him:
“It is detected that the host’s physical strength has been upgraded to LV-10. You can choose one of the following advanced branch abilities:”
“Bloodbath, reconciliation.”
Looking at these two branch abilities, Gao Wen fell into deep thought for a moment.
Bathing in blood is undoubtedly an option to improve combat effectiveness.
If I’m not mistaken, he is the type who won’t play unless he is low on health, and the more seriously injured he is, the higher the damage he will deal.
Is this type of ability strong?
Very strong!
But most of them have an obvious drawback.
That is when the health is low, while your own attack is stronger, you are also more likely to be taken down by a critical hit from the opponent.
Gawain had personally experienced the feeling of licking blood from the tip of a knife and escaping death in the battle with Hawkeye.
It’s exciting, but the feeling of losing control and entrusting your life to the will of others is not that wonderful.
If possible, Gawain would now prefer to limit everything to the scope that he can control.
Of course we must have the courage to fight to the death, but that is the worst outcome and the last resort.
Therefore, Gawain’s gaze only stayed on the bloodbath for a moment, and then he looked at the harmony.
Even just through the text, Gao Wen could tell that this ability should be an extension of the Balance entry.
“Balance has transformed my physique into that of a hexagonal warrior, with no weaknesses. So what kind of improvement will harmony bring on top of that?”
“but.”
“No matter what, it won’t be worse than bloodbath.”
Gawain’s eyes became firm:
“I choose reconciliation!”
The next moment.
An inexplicable feeling appeared in Gawain’s body.
Every muscle from top to bottom, every organ from inside to outside, became extremely clear in his perception.
He raised his palm slightly, and he could feel every change from his fingers to his arms and then to the muscles and skin on his chest, and he could even control any one of them.
When he exerted a little force on his arms, he could see the bulging muscles on his arms pulsating like waves, with the speed determined by his heart.
Even the movements of muscles and organs in the body that were originally controlled by instinct are now completely under the control of his own will!
“I have complete control over this body and can control every organ, every muscle and even the skin with my own will.”
“It can also greatly speed up the healing of one’s own injuries, the speed and extent of the immune system’s counterattack against diseases, and even the digestion speed of food eaten. It can even stop one’s own heartbeat!”
Gao Wenming came to his senses.
Harmony allows you to fully control your body, and balance allows your body to reach a state of perfect balance. The power unleashed by the combination of the two is far more than just one plus one equals two.
Although the harmonization did not directly increase his physical panel, it was like an amplifier, allowing him to increase the original value to a point beyond the theoretical limit.
and.
After awakening this ability, Gawain was basically immune to diseases and viruses. At this moment, Gawain’s hands were even shaking with excitement!
“Is this… the return of life?”
“wrong!”
“This is simply a higher-level ability of life return!”
“I can do everything that Life Return can do, and I can also do what it can’t do!”
