Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Rubbing his brow, Huang Hai shook his head, realizing he couldn't prove his hypothesis for the time being, and simply put it aside.

At this stage, the most important thing is to develop one's own abilities to the fullest extent.

This is the fundamental source of Huang Hai's strength. As for his talent, it is merely icing on the cake. It is gratifying to see it enhance one's abilities, but there is no need to place too much emphasis on it.

Since it's a passive ability, there's no way to actively hone it.

"Let's develop [Moonwalk] first, so that we can protect ourselves in future battles at sea..."

Putting aside all other random thoughts, Huang Hai closed his eyes slightly, recalling the high-speed movement and high-frequency fluctuations he experienced when using [Shave] before.

[Moonwalk], he remembered, should be about using strong footwork to step on the air, thereby generating strong air resistance, allowing one to walk in the air like climbing stairs.

Moreover, this high-altitude movement technique allows you to launch attacks from any blind spot of the enemy in mid-air...

However, the so-called powerful leg strength is naturally an instantaneous explosive force equivalent to [Shave], which applies explosive pressure to the air, and only in this way can hang force be generated in the air.

"Theory is one thing, practice is the only truth. Let's give it a try first..."

Thinking of this, Huang Hai slightly bent his knees and raised his right foot, with the sole of his foot facing the air. The transparent ripples became highly concentrated, and the frequency of the fluctuations suddenly accelerated.

Bounce, bounce, bounce! Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce~~~

Until the firing frequency reaches 49 times in an instant.

Bang!

The air beneath their feet suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

The next moment!

Huang Hai, who was already upside down, was propelled straight up into the sky at high speed by the explosive force of the rebound in the air.

Suddenly.

Even Nami, who was focused on piloting the vehicle, and Zoro, who was practicing sword meditation, turned around in surprise the moment they heard the loud bang in the air.

When they saw Huang Hai suddenly appear high in the sky, they were immediately puzzled, wondering what he was up to this time.

High in the air.

As Huang Hai surged forward at high speed, he gradually lost momentum. Looking down at the ships that seemed to be getting smaller, he felt himself falling towards them.

"Pressure, resistance, speed, frequency... it feels very similar to using [Shave] on the ground."

"The most difficult part, changing direction and observation, is basically not a problem with [Insight]... Next, we need to see if the two feet can alternately step on the air to move and stay in the air..."

Thinking this through, and seeing his body falling faster and faster, Huang Hai suddenly stepped into the void with his left foot, and in an instant, high-frequency transparent ripples erupted beneath his feet.

Bang!

The airflow creates a sonic boom and white mist.

As if the air had exploded, his body was once again propelled upwards.

Followed by.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Each time his body falls, Huang Hai will step into the void in turn, making his body move in all directions as if he were walking in the air.

However, it was fortunate that they were high in the sky above the sea, rather than in the town. Otherwise, with his current rudimentary Moonwalk, which he couldn't control well, he would definitely have crashed into something.

"As I expected, the elastic properties of the Bounce-Bounce Fruit can indeed be used to develop [Moonwalk], although it consumes a lot of stamina..."

Feeling the profuse sweating and the exhaustion of most of his strength, Huang Hai glanced at the ships below, which looked like black dots, and immediately decided to pause the training.

Otherwise, if he runs out of energy and falls down, who knows if Zoro will be able to help him?

If you fall into the sea, you're really doomed...

With this in mind, Huang Hai used his [Insight] ability to determine his position and then descended vertically, falling rapidly downwards.

now.

Nami and Zoro, who had been watching from below for a long time, were now staring at him in utter disbelief.

It seems like no one has ever imagined that someone could run like that in the sky...

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Art of Drawing the Sword!

Not long after.

despair!

"how did you do it?"

Seeing Huang Hai land on the deck, Nami covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Could it be that he also flies using some strange ability, like that Buggy?"

aside.

A look of doubt also appeared in Zoro's eyes.

Compared to Nami, who had only recently arrived, he, having trained with her for a long time, clearly had some understanding of her abilities and effects.

He was truly amazed to discover that the creature could run and walk.

"This is one of the Six Styles of the Navy, [Moonwalk]!"

Without intending to hide anything, Huang Hai gave a brief explanation of the effects of the Six Styles, smiled, and turned to look at Zoro and the other man.

"I guess you could say I used my abilities to my advantage. True masters of the Six Styles mostly rely on long-term training to improve their physical abilities to a certain level before they can succeed..."

"Can I learn it?"

After listening to Hai's basic description of the Six Powers, Zoro asked with some interest.

After all, for a pure swordsman like him, both [Shave] and [Moonwalk] can effectively compensate for his weaknesses.

"Of course you can, but you'll need to spend some time further honing your physical abilities..."

Nodding, Huang Hai looked at Nami, whose eyes were blinking, and teased, "As for you, if you ate a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, you might have a chance..."

"Otherwise, maybe I could succeed by following Zoro and building up all my muscles..."

"...Eh."

Seeing the other person's perverse sense of humor, imagining herself as a muscular woman, Nami couldn't help but shudder, rolled her eyes, and turned to run away.

As for what the other party said about "zoo-type," I couldn't understand it at all.

Besides, who wants to become that horrible and disgusting appearance?!

Ha ha…

"Oh, right! Zoro..."

Taking advantage of a moment to recover his strength, Huang Hai glanced at the [Wado Ichimonji] and said with a smile, "I'd like to learn some swordsmanship from you, is that alright?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Zoro, who was about to go train his physical fitness, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Huang Hai in surprise.

"Your abilities are already quite well-developed, so why do you suddenly want to learn swordsmanship? This isn't something you can learn overnight..."

"At your age, if you really want to learn, you'll have to put in a thousand times the effort. Even then, if you don't have good talent, you might just waste your time..."

"I've thought about everything you said..."

Huang Hai smiled and said, "Therefore, I do not intend to learn your Three-Sword Style."

"All you need to do is teach me some basic sword techniques and the correct way to use a sword..."

"What I really want to learn is... the art of drawing the sword!"

"The 'drawing sword technique' in the Ittō-ryū style?"

Hearing this, Zoro scratched his head, looked down at the three swords at his waist, pondered for a moment, then looked up and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I haven't studied this much..."

"Although my master did discuss the topic of 'drawing the sword technique' when teaching me swordsmanship, it wasn't appropriate for our Isshin-ryu school. It was often just mentioned briefly and not explained in detail..."

"Even if you want to learn, all I can teach you is perhaps the very basics..."

"enough!"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Hai went into the ship's hold and took out an ordinary black scabbard and a katana with a simply wrapped hilt from the firearms, swords and other weapons he had collected before.

The blade was slightly curved, its length just right for Huang Hai at that moment.

Step out of the cabin.

Sometimes, quality is more important than quantity...

Huang Hai brandished the longsword in his left hand, looked at Zoro, and said with a smile, "Just like you said, if you want to delve deeper into it, you'll inevitably have to spend a lot of energy, so..."

"For me, choosing one sword technique from among many and specializing in it is more than enough!"

"Just consider this a spur-of-the-moment thing of mine, wanting to enrich my offensive techniques, how about it? Would you be willing to teach me a little, Zoro-sensei...?"

"Don't call me that. My own kendo isn't even mature enough yet. I don't deserve the title of 'teacher'..."

Zoro waved his hand, understanding the other's determination, and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Don't blame me if I don't teach you well."

"certainly…"

Seeing this, Huang Hai asked with interest, "What's the first step? How do I hold the knife?"
