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

Chapter 64 Before going to sea
1.85 meters tall.

This was a few years ago when Xia Nuo combined life restoration and paper drawing to achieve the ultimate compression of his height without affecting his combat power.

The original reason why it was fixed at this specific number was simply because Bellmère was 1.86 meters tall.

He didn't want his mother to have to look up at him all the time.

Later life experiences also proved that this decision was quite comfortable.

Although it is still slightly higher than the average of ordinary people, it will no longer affect daily life and will not be too conspicuous in the crowd.

After compressing the body density, a small amount of strength is sacrificed, but the movement becomes much more agile.

The hit volume has been greatly reduced, and the effect of "Paper Drawing" has been greatly improved, allowing each part of the body to have an instinctive reaction to dodge independently.

This allows him to gain the upper hand more easily in normal battles.

He named this form "Paper-Embroidered Takemi".

If Lucci remembers this name in the future, he should obviously pay him copyright fees according to the principle of first come first served.

As for his current true form...

"Ok?"

Xia Nuo suddenly looked up at the ceiling and frowned slightly, "It's just the beginning of summer, and there are already mosquitoes."

Swish-!
His body suddenly grew taller and swelled rapidly, and in a flash, his head touched the top of the ceiling.

His body was muscular and strong, but his overall lines were smooth and beautiful. Compared to his rough and muscular body a few years ago, he looked more like a normal person.

If you ignore that terrifying height of 3.7 meters.

He flicked his finger.

The thumb-sized Aedes aegypti mosquito turned into countless powders and fell to the ground before it could even flap its wings.

However, the piece of ceiling that was hit by the fingernail was completely unharmed, and even the dust around it was not shaken off.

This is the embodiment of controlling the muscles of the whole body and even the cells in the smallest parts to the highest level.

In this state, his terrifying power can be unleashed without reservation, and his defense and toughness can be maximized, each with its own advantages and disadvantages compared to the paper-painted martial arts form.

……

Shanuo glanced at the mosquito that turned into powder.

He nodded with satisfaction, then shrank back to his normal size and continued to wash the dishes while humming a little tune.

The entire conversion process takes less than half a second.

"You're going to scare people to death!"

From the living room behind the door came Zoro's startled cry, "He suddenly grew so big, I thought some enemy had come knocking on the door, but it turned out he was just swatting a mosquito!"

"Zoron."

Koshiro's deep voice followed closely behind, "Pay attention to etiquette. You are a guest. How can you be so rude when visiting someone else's home?"

"That sounds so familiar. You said the same thing when I was the host entertaining guests at Isshin Dojo, right? Then when can I be rude...hiss, it hurts!!"

"Mr. Zhepu, when did you come back?"

……

Hearing Zoro's screams, Shano couldn't help but smile.

Interesting to say.

Except for his family members who lived with him day and night, almost everyone else who knew him regarded his "paper-painted martial arts body" as his original appearance.

However, the original true form was considered to be a mode that was difficult to maintain for a long time after a certain transformation.

The little brat Sanji once quietly asked him if he had eaten the muscular monster form of the Human-Human Fruit, and then he was beaten up and ran away crying.

"Are you all back?" The dishes had just been washed, so Xia Nuo turned off the faucet, wiped his hands with his apron and went to the living room.

"Everyone is back except Yin."

Zhepu pulled his fist out of his green algae hair with a bang and grinned. "We've almost said everything we should say at the dinner table just now. It's time for us to leave, Captain."

"Yes."

Kuina and Koshiro exchanged a glance, then suddenly turned their heads away and stretched as if nothing had happened. "It's time to go, Captain."

"Don't call me brother now." Nojigao muttered softly as he followed behind.

"Don't be so stingy." Xia Nuo rubbed his sister's head. "Have you decided too? Do you really want to go with me?"

"Hmm."

Nojigo nodded vigorously.

"So you've really made up your mind a long time ago? In fact, from the very beginning, even before you mentioned that you wanted to practice on the Orange Garden, you've wanted to go to sea with me, right?"

"As expected of my brother, I've been completely seen through."

Nokiko was a little embarrassed, but when she noticed Kuina's gaze, she immediately put her hands on her hips and snorted, "But I was really too weak back then! I had no confidence and didn't want to be a useless burden, so I specifically said I wanted to stay home. But now..."

She clenched her fists tightly. "I'm very strong now! Not only can I protect myself, but I can also help you, brother!"

"I believe that."

Shanuo chuckled.

This might be the tacit understanding between brother and sister. Like him, Nojigo knew nothing about swordsmanship, but he showed amazing talent in boxing and fighting.

He first laid a solid foundation with the "Breathing Fist", and then under Xia Nuo's guidance, he practiced the Six Styles, mastering the three techniques of shaving, moon step, and finger gun.

Besides.

In the past few years, whenever Xia Nuo came across a boxing manual, regardless of whether it was useful to him or not, he would buy it and hand it over to Nojigo.

After practicing hard till now, Nokigo's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

Although there is still a big gap between her and Kuina who has become a swordsman, she is indeed fully qualified to venture into the Grand Line.

“And me, I want to go too!!!”

The wooden staircase suddenly shook, and a young orange-haired girl came running down with a clang. Her slender figure was as light as a bird. She simply sat on the handrail and slid down the last few steps, raising her hands excitedly. "Have you forgotten about me, my beautiful girl? Hehe, don't forget, I'm the only navigator, you can't leave me behind!"

"Don't make trouble."

Xia Nuo flicked her eyebrows in annoyance and said, "You are not even an adult yet, why are you joining in the fun as a child?"

Men become adults at the age of eighteen, and women at the age of sixteen. Nojigo and Kuina are the same age, and they will also reach adulthood this year.

Nami is only fourteen, so she can only sit at the children's table with Zoro and Sanji for dinner. It's still too early.

"Child? Who are you calling a child?"

Nami was about to puff out her chest to prove it angrily, but was glared at by Shanuo with a dark face and shrank back. Her eyes rolled, and she cried out, holding her stomach and fell onto the sofa.

"Ms. Nami!" Sanji slid down to his knees in the living room and squatted nervously in front of Nami. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"When did you become like this?"

Zoro gave him a look of disdain. "You're still the same idiot as before. That's the one that happens to girls when they reach that age! Kuina was defeated by me the first time because of that sudden onset of that."

"Shut up, idiot!"

Kuina's face flushed red, and she was so angry that she wanted to scratch Zoro.

"Everyone's here, so mind your conversation! Besides, it was only that one time. Don't forget that I defeated you a full three thousand times afterward!!!"
