Pirate's Swordsman

"why?"

After hearing this, Baby-5 was not very convinced: "Is it because I didn't defeat you just now? But there are not many people on the whole ship who can do it, right?"

"This is one of the reasons." Xia Nuo said calmly, "But the more important point is, don't you think that compared to swordsmanship, your Devil Fruit ability is actually your biggest reliance?"

"...That's true, but this doesn't conflict with swordsmanship, right?" Baby-5 bit his lip, "Besides, my fruit ability is not strong, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to help in these few battles. What are you busy with..."

"That's wrong." Xia Nuo shook his head and said with a smile: "In fact, in my opinion, your fruit ability should be the most powerful one on the ship, but the potential has not been tapped yet, so it seems a bit awkward now. It’s worthless.”

"The most powerful?"

Baby-5's brain shut down for a second, and she looked at Xia Nuo with confusion in her eyes - in her opinion, whether it was Kidd's fruit that can control magnetism or Xiao Luo's sickle fruit, Stronger than his own ability.

Not to mention the Rock Fruit that Baymax accidentally swallowed. That was an ability possessed by the highest cadre of the Don Quixote family. Baby-5 did not think that his ability was qualified to compare with it.

This is probably the prejudice of many people in the pirate world... When Xia Nuo saw baby-5's confused look, he roughly guessed her inner thoughts and couldn't help but smile:

"Of course, in my opinion, the potential value of this fruit's ability is actually higher than that of many natural abilities. Unfortunately, no one seems to have given you good guidance on how to develop this fruit in recent years, leading you to go down the wrong path. A fork in the road.”

"I……"

Baby-5's expression dimmed slightly and she said nothing. Xia Nuo's words poked her weakness - although she has been working for the Don Quixote family since she was a child, no one in the entire so-called family really cares about her, even Kankan Doflamingo, who seemed to play with her and let her have his own way, was just a playful move dictated by his personality.

"Let's put it this way." Upon seeing this, Xia Nuo immediately spoke in a deep voice, drawing her attention back, "Your fruit ability should have been useful in long-range combat. At this point, the world There are not many ability users who can match your ability, but you often waste it on mid- and short-range battles."

"Eh?" Baby-5 was stunned, feeling as if he vaguely understood something, and then heard Xia Nuo ask again: "Among the fruit abilities you conjured, what is the weapon with the longest range?"

"furthest……"

Baby-5 tilted his head and thought for a while, "It should be a sniper rifle. I have used it quite a lot. I am confident that I can blow off the enemy's head with one shot from three hundred meters away."

"Three hundred meters is too little." Xia Nuo shook his head. In his impression, the sniper rifles in the previous life on Earth had the longest effective ranges of more than two kilometers, and the theoretical maximum range could reach four or five kilometers. " And just having such a long-range attack method is still too weak."

"What should I do?" Baby-5 looked at him blankly, "But this is already my limit. Other weapons, such as cannons and pistols, can't go this far."

This is probably a problem caused by the limitation of knowledge. Xia Nuo endured it and did not rush to use things like intercontinental missiles and Gundam as examples. Instead, he went step by step: "The range of a sniper rifle can actually be slowed down." The only thing you need to improve slowly is that you probably didn't put your energy into this aspect before. Besides, there are many other long-range weapons in the world."

"For example, the Navy Headquarters has been working hard to develop a combat weapon called the Pacifist in the past few years." Xia Nuo stared at Baby-5's eyes that were deep in thought and said, "Ignore the other functions of this humanoid weapon for the time being. Its most effective long-range attack method is similar to the ability of Admiral Kizaru, which can emit laser light from the palm of its hand."

"Eh?" Baby-5 naturally knew about Kizaru's ability, and his face was suddenly full of surprise, "Can the navy actually do this?"

"of course."

In fact, based on the current progress of the Naval Research Institute, it is estimated that the Xiong transformation plan is still in its infancy, and it is still early to transplant Kizaru's laser capabilities. However, Xia Nuo was too lazy to pay attention to this, nodded, and said straightforwardly: "Since the Navy can To achieve this through the power of science and technology, don’t you think you can use your weapon fruit ability to transform into a gun that can shoot lasers?”

This is a brand new way of thinking. Baby-5 suddenly figured out a lot of things and his eyes brightened up. When Xia Nuo saw her like this, he started to give examples again:

"The so-called weapons refer to tools that can help you attack the enemy. Can't you think of other things besides lasers?"

"Just talking about guns, what comes out of the muzzle is not just bullets, flames, ice mist, or flashes and smoke that can obscure the enemy's sight..."

At this point, Xia Nuo stopped talking and looked directly into the corner of Baby-5's eyes. He believed that the girl in front of him had a not weak intelligence, and she should be able to understand what he meant even though she had said this.

"I understand……"

Sure enough, after thinking seriously for a long time, baby-5 finally became enlightened. Her thoughts that had been closed in the past suddenly opened up a lot. She stood up with excitement and bowed deeply to Xia Nuo. :

"Thank you very much for your advice, Sir Xia Nuo!"

"It's just a small thing." Xia Nuo smiled slightly, "Go ahead, think about it carefully, and then practice more and try. I hope we can see surprises in you next time when a war breaks out between us and the enemy."

"Relax... don't worry! Sir Xia Nuo!"

The information revealed in Xia Nuo's words gave Baby-5 another feeling of being needed. His face suddenly turned red, and after saluting Xia Nuo, he quickly turned around and left the training room.

"I hope it goes well."

Looking at baby-5's retreating back, Xia Nuo shook his head and smiled. Although he had said everything, after all, the development of devil fruit abilities cannot be accomplished by imagination alone. Baby-5 will be in the future. For a period of time, it is estimated that setbacks and failures are inevitable.

And if these difficulties can be overcome and carried on smoothly, then the future Hayate Pirates will hopefully have another top fighter.

Thinking of this, Xia Nuo suddenly frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he got up and left the training room, returned to his room, and then took out an exquisite wooden box from the drawer beside the bed.
