One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 36: Enough points, go back to the village to develop!
In the afternoon, a passenger ship set sail from the pier.

At the bow, Shanuo leaned against the railing, looking at the capital of the Kingdom of Goa which was gradually blurring in his vision.

From this angle, the city view is indeed magnificent and glorious, like a heaven favored by gods. It is worthy of its reputation as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea.

only……

Shanuo shook his head.

He turned around and walked towards his room in the cabin, his right hand spinning up and down, playing with a delicate little dagger.

This was the dagger that Ace used to attack, but was kicked away by him.

I picked it up from the bushes when the two hot-blooded idiot brothers weren't paying attention.

He didn't expect to get many points, but even the smallest bit of it is still meat. Just like the night before leaving Shimotsuki Village, he didn't forget to take Koshiro's glasses.

It’s not that I forgot to turn off the automatic pickup, the main thing is, it’s for Kuina’s own good.

In this way, Koshiro could always empathize with his daughter's pain of not being able to see clearly, and getting glasses became the top priority and would not be delayed at all.

Swah——

The dagger spun around and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Xia Nuo looked at the system information that had just appeared.

A pair of glasses and this dagger provide a total of 700 points. By that calculation, his total remaining points should be 12825 points.

But the balance displayed on the panel now is much larger than this number.

The reason is naturally——

[Sacrifice: Luffy's Straw Hat]

[Quality: Legend]

[Value: 30000 points]

[Appraisal Comment: Pirate King Gol D. Roger's straw hat, which he personally gifted to Red-Haired Shanks, who in turn gifted it to Luffy, has witnessed countless legendary adventures of three generations. Straw Hat Kid has since become Luffy's nickname. In the Holy Land of Marijoa, Im still keeps Joy Boy's giant straw hat. The continuation of D's spirit may always frighten some people.]

[Remaining points: 43025]

A full thirty thousand points!
It’s twice as tall as Red Hair’s broken arm!
The total remaining points exceeded 40,000, which made Xia Nuo feel comfortable all over and an unprecedented sense of security surge in his chest.

With so many points, even if he squanders them casually, they will be enough for him to use for a long time.

Even when they grow up and officially go to sea, there is no need to supplement it.

Of course, no one would complain about having too many points.

Shanuo plans to wait until the cooling-off period ends next year, when Arlong's threat is resolved and there are no more worries, before going out to sea to find Luffy.

Let’s see how much a fake straw hat that has been worn for a whole year is worth.

He looked at the trading column on the side again.

It is now the twentieth day since I went to sea, and the trading market has not yet been refreshed.

Xia Nuo had asked the captain of the passenger ship before, and he knew it would take about ten days to travel from the Kingdom of Goa to Kokoa West Village.

In other words, by the time you get home, you can almost buy the new round of market items.

"I hope I can find something useful."

Xia Nuo's eyes moved slightly, full of anticipation.

After closing the system bar, he simply washed up and lay down on the bed comfortably, ready to have a good sleep first.

I have been busy in the Korpo Mountains for the past few days. Before leaving today, I went to the bank to withdraw money and look for a boat. I am exhausted both physically and mentally.

After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

……

Time flies by.

Twelve days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the second floor of the cabin, in a spacious training room specially converted from a training room, Shanuo was practicing "Shaving", one of the six styles, alone.

He is no longer the poor boy who boarded the old Gat merchant ship twenty days ago.

He had booked half the seats on the merchant ship, and he also spared no expense in the restaurant, naturally enjoying the highest VIP treatment. The captain didn't hesitate to ask for a training room, and he mobilized his sailors to complete the renovation in just half a day.

On the south side of the training room, three short wooden stakes were lined up in a row according to Xia Nuo's request.

The same is true on the north side.

In the corner, there is a statue of Hercules, silently providing a three-fold increase in the efficiency of physical training.

Xia Nuo stood on the short wooden stake in the middle of the south side, his eyes fixed on the corresponding one ten meters away to the north.

The next moment, he took a deep breath, raised his right leg slightly, and tightened the arch of his foot.

"shave!"

Swish! There was a sound of breaking wind, and the moment the words fell, Xia Nuo's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace.

When he appeared again, he appeared directly on the wooden stake in the middle of the north side, but he didn't step firmly and stumbled and fell down.

“Very close!”

Xia Nuo stood up, his eyes not filled with disappointment but with surprise.

After all, it has only been a little over ten days since I started practicing the Six Styles, and the speed of progress can be described as rapid.

He first spent a few days to fully master the technique of shaving, and then spent a few more days to lock his current position within a smaller error range.

And today.

The error range was finally reduced step by step to a level that was almost negligible.

In actual combat, you can teleport to any precise landing point at will when facing the enemy.

This is crucial.

If you haven't practiced well, it would be very embarrassing to step on the opponent's head during a teleportation in actual combat.

If it was a little more off, the chest would have been pierced by the sword on the opposite side, which would have been even worse.

"Have you been judged as an entry-level student?"

Xia Nuo glanced at the skill bar on the system panel and nodded with satisfaction.

After getting started, you no longer need to focus all your training time on this one physical skill every day.

You can start practicing other physical skills, and as for "shaving", you only need to set aside some time every day to consolidate it. Within a month at most, you can raise your realm to minor success and master it thoroughly.

"Even with the statue's blessing, this speed is still much faster than expected."

He tried a few more times, and each time he was able to step accurately on his target wooden stake, and Shanuo felt more and more happy.

It seems that the physical transformation brought about by mastering the "Breathing Fist" has an additional benefit.

It's just like in martial arts novels where one opens up the Ren and Du meridians, which opens up all other meridians, allowing him to practice other physical techniques much faster than before.

Talk about it.

The specific principle of "shaving" seems very simple.

It is nothing more than stepping on the ground at high speed dozens of times in a flash to generate explosive reaction force.

This allows you to move at high speeds, or even teleport and disappear in front of the enemy.

However, there are certain requirements for basic physical qualities and the ability to control muscles at the micro level. If the threshold is not reached, it cannot be compensated by mere understanding and talent.

Shanuo has advantages in these two aspects.

In addition, he already had some talent in physical training, and the combination of the two made his training progress so terrifyingly fast.

"It will take a dozen days to master the shaving process, and then another dozen days to see if I can master the iron block."

After wiping the sweat off his face with a towel, Xia Nuo opened the backpack and was about to read through the training method of Iron Block when there was a knock on the door.

"Who? If you're delivering food, just leave it at the door."

He casually said that he had been spending more than ten hours here every day these days, and all three meals were brought to him by the restaurant waiters on carts.

"It's me, Lord Shanuo!"

Man Scar pushed the door open and walked in, pointing out the porthole, his face full of joy, "It's time to disembark, sir, we've arrived at Kokoa West Village!"
