Chapter 39
On the other side of the Windmill Village dock, Carl jumped onto the Black King.
At this time, a group of people stood under the Black King, including the Red Hair Pirates led by Shanks.
"What, Shanks, do you have something to tell me or do you want to fight me?"
"Haha, you know me, Carl. It's been a long time since we last met. Last time, I saw in the newspaper that you fought with Mihawk and won against him. I've always wanted to know how strong you are now."
Carl smiled.
"Okay, but this is not a good place to fight. If we fight here and the navy comes, I won't be able to run away in time. After all, my crew is not as powerful as yours."
"I know there's a deserted island nearby, let's go there"
""Okay, lead the way!"
After saying that, Carl looked at the few people behind Shanks, headed by Beckman.
These people are not simple. Now in the Crown Pirates, there are only three people besides Carl who can really hold up the team, Eneel, Kawamatsu, and Clo.
The others are all relatively young, so their combat power is negligible. Eneel finally mastered the Armament Haki a while ago, and was able to successfully wrap his entire arm. The Observation Haki has also been further improved. If Carl does not use his full strength, his Observation Haki can be on par with Carl, and he probably has the strength of an intermediate Observation Haki.
Kawamatsu can master the Armament Haki himself, and the Armament Haki is called Ryuo in Wano Country (Ryuo is not the level of Armament Haki, but another name for Armament Haki, and the internal destruction of Armament Haki can only be mastered by high-level Armament Haki.
), but he has always been practicing based on swordsmanship, but his swordsmanship talent is not Very strong, and his physical skills have improved slightly.
In addition, he is of fish-man blood, so his basic strength is much stronger than ordinary people.
He had been struggling with the progress of swordsmanship before, and then found that he could not improve, so he had to switch to physical skills and found that he had a slightly better talent.
Then he devoted himself to practicing physical skills.
Last month, after continuous practice of physical skills and swordsmanship, he unexpectedly improved, and advanced directly to the advanced level of swordsman.
As for Clo, because he started practicing relatively late, he can barely master the basic level of observation Haki, and can barely use other physical skills taught by Karl.
Although his strength is not very strong, he is the fastest progressing among the three.
Shanks's Red Force slowly led the way in front of the Black King, and the Black King followed closely behind.
The Red Force looks very old, and some of the facilities on it are dilapidated. There are big holes in some places on the deck..
Carl looked at him and shook his head. Carl didn't know what this guy's goal and position were. He just felt that this person was full of casualness. Everything seemed to have nothing to do with me. I can only say that this person is really magical.
After secretly complaining in my heart, I soon arrived at an area far away from the Windmill Village. Looking back, I could no longer see the shadow of the Windmill Village.
Carl jumped off the boat first, spread his black wings and floated in the air.
This is a skill that Carl has mastered by himself. It can float without wind. It is not very useful, but very handsome.
Although he is not very concerned about the development of his own fruit, he has never stopped developing his own body. Ever since the first time he met Shanks and stimulated the blood of King Lunalia, his body began to change.
After that, physical strength became more and more important to Carl. Now For Carl, physical strength is equal to strength. As long as there is physical strength, there are endless possibilities.
However, the changes in the body did not enhance the durability of physical strength, which is very troublesome. Originally, he felt that this devil fruit was a burden, but now he has become dependent on it, because as long as this devil fruit is used properly, it can train high-durability physical strength.
As long as the physical strength can keep up, Carl will be a pentagonal warrior.
Carl wore a floral shirt and beach pants, and was suspended in the air in a pair of flip-flops, with sunglasses on his head. In the first second, he looked like a rich young man traveling, but the atmosphere in the air changed when the black wings spread out in the next second.
Shanks originally wanted to tell a few jokes, but who knew that Carl would not give him a chance at all. He just got off the boat with full momentum. A group of people on the Red Force looked at the captain who was sloppy before and his expression became solemn in the next second.
Shanks jumped off the deck and landed on the ground. Looking at Carl from a distance.
"Anyway, single combat or joint combat."
Karl is not afraid of them, as long as Kahl does not burn the [Flame Crown], then there is no need to be afraid, even if the entire Red Hair Pirates come together, Kahl will not be at a disadvantage.
Kahl only needs to burn the flames behind him, plus the dragon form, and these two combined can fight them at will. Although it cannot win in a short period of time, it can also exhaust their physical strength.
Kahl likes to fight a protracted battle with people of equal strength, because in this way, the final victory will always be Kahl. Although it is despicable, he likes it very much, whoever fights should be moral.
Shanks looked back at the crew members on the ship behind him. Everyone on the ship was eager to move, and obviously wanted to have a competition
"No, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's have a competition."
"It's worth being friends for so many years."
Shanks replied, shaking his head.
He knew that even if all the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates went together, they might not win against the Crown Pirates.
He had been with Carl for several years and knew Carl's strength and methods very well.
This man would not give anyone any face when he was pushed into a corner, and would kill everyone who was not one of his own.
He was afraid that Carl would be so angry that the Red Hair Pirates that he had built with great difficulty would be destroyed.
Killing Carl was even more of a joke. This man was a monster in himself, and with those incredible talents, he was simply not a human being. Shanks had only been able to break Carl's defense a few times so far.
"Okay, stop bragging. I know you love your crew. Come on, let me pick a venue for you. I'm very busy."
"I have a feeling that something big is going to happen recently. My road to rise starts here. I will make plans after the battle."
Even if the Crown Pirates fight in a group, they are not inferior to them. As long as Enelu defends those small fry, the big ones will be left to Carl.
As he spoke, Shanks jumped a few times and walked to an open area on the deserted island.
The terrain is flat and there are some weeds. There are several large mountains around, which is a bit like the basin of his hometown.
Shanks stopped and turned back to face Carl, and Carl also stopped and stayed in mid-air.
Shanks, who originally had a gentle look in his eyes, suddenly became like a hawk, and his left hand was placed on the straight sword Griffin at his waist. The left hand on the hilt instantly exuded a strong sense of observation Haki, and the observation Haki bit towards Carl like a venomous snake.
Carl was unwilling to show weakness and exuded his own observation Haki, and the venomous snake that was originally galloping over slowed down as if it had encountered an enemy.
(ps: Haki levels are divided into primary, intermediate, advanced, and top.
Conqueror's Haki: There is no Conqueror's Haki entanglement at the primary and intermediate levels, and it can only be achieved at the advanced level;
Armament Haki: Primary Armament Haki is Armament Haki coverage, which is simply the defense covered on the skin.
Intermediate Armament Haki can use Armament Haki entanglement, which is a more advanced method of use than the Armament Haki coverage at the primary level.
The use of Armament Haki entanglement is mainly to entangle weapons.
The powerful ones can entangle weapons for a long time, such as practicing black swords.
The main manifestation of advanced Armament Haki is internal destruction, such as Luffy, Roger and others can ignore the objects in front of them and directly attack behind them or inside the objects;
Observation Haki: There is roughly no level, only the strength of mastery. In simple terms, you can develop it yourself, or you can rely on your own talents to awaken special Observation Haki, such as Roger, Luffy, and Kozuki Oden's Listening to Everything, and Shanks's Observation Killing, which can shield or block other people's Observation Haki during battles, meaning to block movement.)
