Chapter 85: Cultivation and Improvement

To practice the iron block, you need to first develop a strong body, while the practice of the Moon Step and the Storm Foot has some similarities, almost all of which are to train the strength of the legs, but with different focuses. Google Search Reading

As for the finger gun.

During the practice, you need to constantly practice high-intensity training on your fingers, such as using your fingers to continuously strike in the props filled with iron sand.

Most people choose the index finger and middle finger because these two fingers are the most powerful.

However, Coles chose the ring finger and the little finger.

To practice with such fragile fingers, the time and energy of practice is much more than others.

But Coles still did not change his choice.

Because his favorite hobby is sketching, the other three fingers are the key to holding the pen, and he does not want to use these three fingers to practice the finger gun.

The second swordsmanship class was not held in the classroom, but on the training ground.

In other words,

Except for the first heart and spirit class, the other swordsmanship classes are all trained outside.

In the training ground.

Coles and Kahn were in the center, ready to start sword fighting training.

Because it was just a coaching match.

Both of them used the same wooden sword.

This was also the first time Coles and Kahn fought against each other.

In the previous recruit period,

he didn't even have accurate swordsmanship, so it was impossible for him to fight with the major.

Coles clenched the wooden sword in his hand, his expression was very upright and serious.

Major Kahn was already a master of the swordsman level before, and this level has exceeded his iron-cutting level, so he must be extra careful.

"Begin."

As Gion's voice fell.

The sword fighting instruction began.

Coles exerted force on his feet, rushed forward, and slashed at Kahn with a diagonal sword.

Kahn calmly blocked.

Da!

The two wooden swords collided.

Then, Kahn pulled his feet, separated the wooden swords, and slashed down with a straight slash.

Coles quickly avoided it.

However, his swordsmanship was taught by Kahn after all. When fighting Kahn, he always felt powerless, and was suppressed one after another.

He had also fought with William and [Lanros], who were both sword masters, but the pressure brought to him by Major Kahn was different from that of the two.

Major Kahn's swordsmanship was very exquisite, as if he had been tempered by thousands of hammers.

If he encountered stormy waves when facing William, then when facing Major Kahn, it was a calm sea.

Sometimes, calm waves are more dangerous than stormy waves.

Just like a calm windless belt!

"Silent slash!"

Coles' figure suddenly disappeared, and this silent slash was slashed at an extremely fast speed.

Click!

The wooden sword was knocked away, thrown high into the sky, and then fell powerlessly.

It was cracked!

The silent slash was cracked again.

Unlike the last time, his swordsmanship has been upgraded to the level of cutting iron, but it is still easily broken in front of Kahn.

As for the method of breaking.

Kahn did not perform any moves, but just used the most common basic swordsmanship.

"No. 1, you pay too much attention to the swordsmanship tricks, but you forget that the basic swordsmanship is also very important. Without the foundation, no matter how strong the tricks are, they are just a mirage."

After Kahn's words came.

Coles couldn't help but be shocked.

He has always used powerful swordsmanship tricks to kill the enemy instantly, but he seems to have gradually forgotten the importance of basic swordsmanship.

Last time William broke the silent slash, he thought it was because of his poor realm.

This time under the guidance of Major Kahn, he suddenly woke up.

He seemed to pay too much attention to the tricks!

As for the basics of swordsmanship, although he has some training, he didn't care too much.

"Okay, next." Kahn did not show too much closeness to Coles, and turned to perform his current duties.

...

In the following time:

Physical training class to learn the four styles of the navy,

Sword class to consolidate the basics of swordsmanship,

Gun class to get beaten, no... in the training with Kaji, constantly digging into the observation Haki.

The training is repeated day after day.

Among them, every week, the elite training camp will steadily eliminate a student.

This fact seems to warn everyone that the weak cannot continue to stay here.

Under this pressure.

The students are actively training and growing, hoping that the instructors can give them a higher score so that they will not be eliminated at the end.

Coles is not under any pressure about this.

Because except for the gun class, his comprehensive scores in all aspects are almost the highest.

A month later.

Coles also formally learned the six styles of the navy. The reason why it took a month was entirely because the ring finger and little finger dragged down the time when pointing the gun, otherwise it could be shortened by half.

And at this time.

Coles and other students also found an interesting thing, that is, Vice Admiral Gion seemed to be interested in Major Kahn.

Coles remembered that Major Kahn was 33 years old this year, and although Instructor Gion looked young, their ages were not much different.

The two seemed to be a good match...

However, this was based on the impression in memory.

In the original story of One Piece, Vice Admiral Gion didn't seem to have a crush on anyone. Was it because the trajectory of the world had changed?

When the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Kuro, was killed by Coles instead of hypnotizing Monka, the world seemed to have taken a different direction.

Coles didn't care much at the time.

Because no matter how the world changes, he just works hard to become stronger and protect his family.

Later, he destroyed the Arlong Pirates, captured Colonel Mouse of the 16th Marine Branch of the East China Sea, destroyed the Click Pirates, and so on.

These can be said to be chain reactions.

And without these pirate groups.

Two years later, where will Luffy's adventure career in the East China Sea Windmill Village go?

Coles was too lazy to think about it.

What he needs to do most now is to actively train in the elite training camp and constantly improve himself. After all, his strength is still a little weak.

Coles set a goal for himself in his heart, that is, to be able to have the power to protect himself in front of the Seven Warlords of the Sea when he graduates.

Suddenly.

Some associations appeared in his mind.

According to the impression in his memory, he remembered that Vice Admiral Kake seemed to like Vice Admiral Gion, and he confessed a hundred times and was rejected.

Lieutenant General Gion was interested in Major Kahn, and Lieutenant General Kake was jealous. In the end, because Major Kahn had some relationship with him, he was implicated?

Coles kept thinking about his guess, and then he felt it was very reasonable.

Even after serious thinking, Coles concluded that this was the truth!

He was speechless.

It's really like sitting at home and the pot comes from the sky!

No wonder Lieutenant General Kake asked him to demonstrate the quick training of observation Haki, and beat him so hard, it turned out that he was taking out his anger on him!

...

The training life in the elite training camp did not make Coles feel boring and tasteless.

Everything was moving forward steadily.

In the third month, Coles finally discovered his own observation Haki.

However, this observation Haki was not awakened in Lieutenant General Kake's so-called quick teaching.

It was ten o'clock in the evening.

With the Shadow Fruit's enhanced induction power, Coles was feeling the breath of the surrounding objects, but suddenly he noticed the power of Observation Haki.

The next day, Coles easily avoided all the attacks of Instructor Kake with his awakened Observation Haki, and at the same time, he scored 100% in the gunmanship class.

So far, his scores from all instructors have reached the top, and he deserves a 1.

Of course, Coles is not the only one who has improved his strength. Whether it is Verroch or other students in the elite training camp, their strength has been greatly improved after training.

Time passed day by day.

Surprisingly, there was no relationship between Vice Admiral Gion and Assistant Kahn, which was puzzling.

Vice Admiral Gion was obviously interesting.

Why was Assistant Kahn indifferent?

The truth behind this is naturally because of Kahn's identity as an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army.

It's just that others have no way of knowing.

After Kahn took on the code name of the Revolutionary Army, he knew that his life would be short and he was in danger of death at any time in the Navy Headquarters.

Although Gion had some good feelings for him, Kahn was very clear about his position. The Navy and the Revolutionary Army were two completely different camps.

Kahn was also always vigilant. He knew that the closer he got to Gion, the more dangerous it would be, so he kept his distance.

This way he could lurk safely.
