On the deck of the Moby Dick, everyone formed a circle watching two people fight.
One of them is Ralph, and his opponent is the future eleventh-division captain Kingdew. Of course, the current Kingdew is still very young and is not as strong as he is in the future.
However, his fist was indeed very powerful, when he waves them around the air rippled.
This fight was initiated by Ralph. Although the skills exchanged from the system can be used directly, if he wants to reach a high level of proficiency, Ralph needs to practice them.
And nothing can hone your skills better than actual combat. In order to study Shunkō, Ralph must first train his hakuda skills to a high level. And the right opponent on the ship is Kingdew who uses a pair of iron gauntlets as weapons.
Among the Shinigami, only a few can fight with their fists like the captain commander, and most of the Shinigami's have exhausted all their energy to develop their Zanpakuto.
Generally, only the second division who works in stealth, will train their hand-to-hand combat prowess. The two captains of the second division, formally Yoruichi Shihōin, and current Soi Fon are the best among them.
So most of the combat skills that Ralph purchased were used by these two people. I don't know if it is because these two people are both women, so these skills are focused on speed, flexibility, and dexterity.
Kingdew, whose moves are all focused on strength and explosiveness, happens to be the polar opposite. So this fight was really entertaining to watch.
At this time, the chef on the ship, the future captain of the fourth division, Thatch suddenly took out a stack of Belly notes and said with a smile "let's bet, Ralph odds are 1 to 1, and Kingdew odds are 5 to 1, Everyone, place your bets!"
Kingdew avoided Ralph's kick and retreated.
"Damn it Thatch are you belittling me!"
Before he could finish complaining, Ralph had already struck and collided with Kingdew's fist.
"You're fighting me, Focus!" Ralph said while using his hands as a fulcrum, his whole body spun and slammed his leg towards Kingdew from below.
This move is exactly one of Soi Fon combat techniques, Windmill, it was fast and Kingdew was kicked heavily on the head without time to defend. He was pushed back heavily on the deck with a loud boom.
White Beard took a sip of his saké and said, "boys, restrain yourselves, the Moby Dick is our home so don't break it!"
Kingdew rubbed his dizzy head and looked at Ralph and said, "Damn it! I'm going all out!"
Ralph didn't back down and said "It just so happens that I'm warming up."
Kingdew flexed his shoulder and then dashed towards Ralph, a wave of air exploded under his feet, and then threw a punch. The power of this punch far surpassed the others from before.
Before, Kingdew thought Ralph was a swordsman and was not good at hand-to-hand combat, so he restrained himself in the fight.
But in the fight just now, Ralph's combat skills caused him to lose
Ralph got close to Kingdew and kicked his wrist, which was where his defense was weakest.
With a punch and a kick, Kingdew retreated a bit and struck another punch. Ralph had already predicted it, flipping on his hand and leaping high, he struck another windmill and smashed his foot down.
Kingdew, who was serious was not hit and retreated early.
Ralph missed but did not pursue, the two stood still for a few seconds and watched each other movement, and then charged at each other.
...
the fight was over quickly, Everyone was a family member on the same ship. How could it be possible to fight against each other without scruples? so they settled for a draw.
However for Ralph, the purpose of the training was not for nothing and has achieved what he wants, and the next step is to grind to strengthen himself.
Just when Ralph was practicing his Hohō and studying Shunkō, the Whitebeard Pirates ushered in another battle.
Ralph thought it was a small character this time, but he was surprised when he saw the other party's banner.
There is no pattern on the banner, only the words "Happo". To be precise, the enemy ship is not a pirate ship but is a violent group called Happo navy from the country of flowers (Kano Country).
The leader of the Happo Navy is called Don Chinjao and is the twelfth-generation pillar of his family. The Hasshoken Secret Technique can control vibrations around their limbs to generate shock waves, and it was practiced to the extreme by Chinjao. With a cone-shaped head, it can break through icebergs as big as mountains.
The current Chinjao's head has not been Flattened by Garp's fist. His strength is still at its peak, and there is a Bounty of 500 million Belly.
In the New World, the White Beard Pirates, Roger Pirates, The Flying Pirates of the Golden Lion, and the Happo Navy often fight each other. Everyone can be regarded as an old opponent, but it was the first time Ralph had met the other party after boarding the ship.
Whitebeard stood on the bow and watched the two ships approach. At this distance, the people on the ship could already be seen by each other.
Ralph was by Whitebeard's side, and at a glance, he saw the protruding bald cone-shaped head on the opposite ship and Chinjao with a bushy black beard.
"Gurararararara! Sons, grab me all their treasures!"
Hearing Whitebeard's order, everyone was excited. Marko flapped his wings which were burning with cyan flames and flew to the ship of the Happo Navy, and following behind him was Ralph, who walked on the ship's deck.
"All the little minions under whitebeard, go back to your ship!" Chinjao has also experienced many battles, so how can he let the battle unfold on his ship? He jumped high, black armament haki covering the top of his head.
"Hasshoken, Dragon Drill."
A huge shock wave spread out and Marko was the first to be hit and knocked back.
Ralph passed Marko and greeted Chinjao that fell back on the ship.
"Rankle the Seas and Heavens!, Nejibana!"
The sword turned into a trident, and a large amount of water surged onto Chinjao.
"Hasshoken, Buto Kaiten"
Chinjao put his palms together and suddenly stood upside down, and his body spun like a top.
When the surging water hit the rotating Chinjao, Ralph felt a huge force coming his way.
Each of these veteran powerhouses has a good relationship, even if it is Chinjao that later showed up old, he is an opponent that Luffy can only defeat after practicing with Rayleigh.
the immense force smashed Ralph away fiercely. Ralph's feet that were in the air were dragging as if he was on flat ground.
Chinjao, which stopped spinning, looked at this abnormal scene, and couldn't help showing a surprised expression "I haven't seen you before! You must be Grim Reaper from the White Beard Pirates!"
Ralph suddenly heard the sound of invasion points on the system, and an unexpected expression appeared on his face. I think there are many people who have heard my name but still doubted him.
No wonder no one can provide invasion points like Whitebeard. After all, whitebeard had fought against the "captain commander", and he believed Ralph's statement.
It seems that in the future, I will have to fight more with these powerhouses to get invasion points.
Thinking like this, Ralph took a breath. In that case, let's start with Chinjao!
"Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!, Hadō #63. Raikōhō."
In Ralph's palm, A thick bolt of lightning shot at Chinjao. he crossed his arms and covered them in armament haki. he blocked the lightning bolt but was blasted by the explosion that followed.
The smoke dissipated, and a slightly embarrassed Chinjao appeared. Although he felt humiliated, he didn't suffer any injuries.
" you damn piece of shit!" Almost the entire head of Chinjao was covered with armament haki and rushed towards Ralph.
Shunpo!
In the blink of an eye, Ralph appeared in the other direction, avoiding the attack of Chinjao.
"Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō"
Six light blocks got stuck on Chinjao, he did not feel any pain, but could not move.
And an attack followed.
"Hadō #33. Sōkatsui"
Double chanting, is another skill that Ralph exchanged for. In the previous exchange, he not only exchanged for Kidō of a higher tier but also learned this technique.
By chanting the spells of two different Kidō at the same time, different Kidō can be activated at the same time. In Bleach, Rukia Kuchiki used this technique against the 9th Espada Aaroniero Arrururie. (E/N: what a mouthful)
Ralph had just exchanged it and had little practice, so he couldn't use Sōkatsui and Rikujōkōrō at the same time as she did. Ralph could only use Sōkatsui with lower power.
The blue flame rushed towards Chinjao, but at this time it was on the ship of the Happo Navy. Seeing that Chinjao was trapped, his men had already rushed up.
Armament and conqueror haki destroyed Ralph's Sōkatsui, and Chinjao broke free from the shackles of the six rods of light.
"That's it you piece of shit, you're gonna pay the price for provoking the Happo Navy!" Chinjao gritted his teeth.
It really hurts to be pushed back like this with a fledgling junior of the whitebeard pirates. Although the main reason was that he was caught off guard by Ralph's techniques.
Chinjao's words didn't scare Ralph at all. After all, Ralph was not alone in facing the Happo Navy.
"Gurararararara! Chinjao, what are you gonna to my son?"
The ships of the Happo Navy shook under the impact, and it was White Beard who jumped directly from the Moby Dick.
"Chinjao, let me be your opponent!"
The battle started again.
"Damn it! Whitebeard, just you wait!"
Whitebeard was now on the deck of the Moby Dick, looking at Chinjao who was held by the Happo Navy crew members, he smirked disdainfully.
Ralph even after using the double chanting was defeated by Chinjao, but before Whitebeard, he didn't last long.
To be honest, Chinjao is indeed one of the top powerhouses on the sea. But his opponent is Whitebeard who is at his peak, and it was already incredible to hold on for so long.
Therefore, the Happo Navy led by Chinjao could only retreat. As for the cursing of the defeated Chinjao, whitebeard didn't think much of it.
The Happo Navy is not much different from pirates, and there were many treasures on board, and the treasures all fell into the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates. Such a big gain is certainly worth having another party.
After a night of singing and dancing, everyone resumed their normal life as a pirate. sailing a ship, drinking, and training, so everyone was busy with their own affairs.
After drifting on the seas for several weeks, they finally saw a piece of land. It was not deserted, but an inhabited island.
The Moby Dick was slowly approaching the port, and Ralph was still wondering why when such a large pirate ship was approaching, there was no turmoil in the port.
When he looked up, he found a flag of the Whitebeard pirates hanging on the port.
Only then did Ralph remember that a big pirate like Whitebeard, with his power and reputation could lend his banner to others.
And daring to attack the people who he lent his flag is equivalent to declaring war on him.
Generally speaking, such a flag is equivalent to the royal decree of a kingdom, enough to protect them from pirates. And as a price, these countries only need to provide some treasures to the Whitebeard pirates.
This is what the New World calls the Yonko's territory, and Whitebeard is the pirate with the most territory now.
Speaking of which, this approach is no different from the tax collected by the world government. It is equivalent to protection fees, but the target is different.
Of course, there is another difference, and that is the Whitebeard pirates will not collect protection fees as harshly as the world government.
Whitebeard's popularity is quite high and has friends everywhere in the sea, the kings in most of his territories are basically like this, so Whitebeard didn't receive much money.
The country of barrels is such a country. King Bibo II is an old friend of Whitebeard.
The country of barrels is said to be a kingdom, but the land area is only this island. And true to its name this is a country full of wooden barrels, and even the buildings on the port are built like wooden barrels.
This country maintains its economy by manufacturing sturdy barrels and selling them, but it is a relatively small and wealthy country. Coupled with the Whitebeard pirates banner, there are no pirate raids, and you can see the happy smiles of the people who are walking by.
Whitebeard jumped onto the harbor and turned around and said, "Okay! boys, next we are going to steer the Moby Dick to the dock to get it fixed, and after that do what you want!"
The Moby Dick suffered a storm before and docked on an island, planning to repair it on the spot.
But he didn't expect to meet Ralph and had to leave under the pressure of the captain-commander. For the next two months, no suitable islands were found to repair the ship.
Fortunately, in the past two months, there was no severe weather and strong enemies.
After Whitebeard gave his orders, he walked in the direction of the palace.
Ralph greeted everyone and then walked towards the town. He was very interested in the towns of the Pirate World.
Walking on the streets of the town, he couldn't help but think it was interesting. This country really deserves to be a country of wooden barrels, even the people carry small wooden barrels on their waists.
Such a weird situation may only occur in the Pirate World.
Suddenly, Ralph saw a shop with clothes hung up, so he walked in.
Ralph has recently been practicing advanced Shunpo, specifically the Utsusemi technique, however, Ralph only has one Shinigami outfit, and it is inconvenient to practice in.
The tailor was a long-arm tribe member and was extremely proficient in what he does, and after listening to Ralph's request he made the clothes in a few minutes.
Ralph copied the fourth-generation hokage style of wearing clothes. Of course, it isn't really the Hokage robe, but a white Haori that can only be worn by the captains of the 13 divisions. The difference is that embroidered on the back of Ralph's haori is not a number, but the whitebeard pirate symbol.
Ralph has a high amount of Reiryoku, his Kidō, and Hakuda are at a high level, and to put it bluntly, he has already reached the captain's standard and is qualified to wear the Haori.
Ralph commissioned the tailor to make more, and agreed to come over to pick it up in the evening, and then left the shop.
Wearing this Haori, Ralph felt that his aura has risen. But he snapped back to reality and thought of how to accumulate invasion points.
After all, I'm just a swordsman and I can't be a captain without starting my own pirate crew.
Pushing open the door of a tavern, he saw at a glance that most of the Whitebeard Pirates were drinking and cheering. There were also some small-time pirates who could only hide in the corner and watch the crowd while keeping their heads down.
Although there are always pirates who live and die aiming at Whitebeard, most of the pirates still understand the status of the Whitebeard Pirates in this sea, so how would they dare provoke them?
Thatch saw Ralph walking in and raising the barrel-like beer mug in his hand and said "You're finally here, you've been shopping for so long and you only bought clothes?"
Ralph sat next to thatch and said, "I can say the same for you, as you got off the ship you came here to drink."
Ralph turned around and asked the bartender for the specialty here. The two of them were drinking, and suddenly they heard a commotion in the street.
Thatch put down his beer mug and said unhappily, "What's the matter, anyone dares to cause trouble where the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates is hung?"
Ralph was also very curious about who was so unlucky to cause trouble when the Whitebeard Pirates are on the island. So the two left the tavern together.
The civilians with barrels around their waste, ran and fled into the distance.
The two looked in the direction these people came, and they saw a group of people approaching with great momentum.
The leader of the group had a big bushy beard with a crocodile helmet on his head and a long-handle mace in his hand while a group of crooked pirates followed him.
The group saw Ralph, Thatch, and the others standing in front of them.
"Hey, who are you? How dare you stand in my way!" The crocodile hat man's tone was quite arrogant.
Thatch said in a disdainful tone "Do you know where you are, and who you're talking to."
It's a common problem for pirates to be underestimated by others, especially the crocodile head, carrying a mace and saying, "I'm a big pirate with a bounty of 110 million."
"Yeah yeah! Our captain has a bounty of 110 million, the great pirate Proses."
Thatch dug his ears with his little finger, then put it in front of his mouth and blew, and said more contemptuously "What big pirate, I haven't heard of it."
The corner of Ralph's mouth twitched, but it wasn't because he looked down on the pirate in front of him. This kind of trash that hasn't appeared in the original work is not worth the time and effort.
He just thought of something else. The devil fruits in the Pirate World are all sorts of strange, among them the zoan seems to give people the worse impression. This of course does not include the rare mythical and some ancient species.
Among them, two of the fruits seemed to be eaten one is a fruit eaten by a reindeer, and Ralph would never think of how to develop it.
The other is a fish fruit, originally thought that this funny fruit would not exist. What do you do after eating? Be a fish that can't swim!
But the forms of these two fruits are extremely powerful, Now there is a crocodile man.
"But, is a crocodile counted as a fish?"
