Chapter 64
Rayleigh said in his answer that a black sword cannot be made by just using Armament Haki. There are other factors that need to be met.
For example, some people's swordsmanship or swordsmanship attainments. But the vast majority are swordsmanship attainments.
To improve swordsmanship attainments, it is very simple to find your own sword path through constant challenges.
Swordsmanship is a person's belief in the sword. If the belief is not overturned, the swordsmanship will not be broken. The stronger the belief, the more stable the swordsmanship.
"Among the three of you I teach, Shanks is the most likely to master the black sword, that is, to become a famous swordsman."
"As for you and Buggy, I won't say anything about Buggy. This guy is very weird. The three of you, especially Shanks, can't compare to him. People like him are born with some aura or personal charm. You two can't compare"
"It's a pity that your swordsmanship is completely different from what I taught you. I don't have anything to teach you except Haki, but your Haki was taught by Roger himself. Even if my swordsmanship is better than Roger's, I can't compare to him. And I think your main problem is this devil fruit."
"Swordsmanship training should be focused, and because you swallowed a devil fruit, your strength and power have been improved, but your ability and concentration will be scattered."
"In addition, your race is special, so it is more difficult to practice swordsmanship than others, but the actual combat effect will be more diverse than others."
Carl was lying on the bed thinking about what Rayleigh said before.
When he saw Mihawk's black knife before, he suspected whether he picked up someone else's ready-made one. Otherwise, why could he refine a black knife so quickly at the same level, while people like Shanks and Carl couldn't refine it.
Now it seems that this guy must have some strength, and Carl also discovered when he was sparring with him before that this guy's swordsmanship is definitely unbeatable when Carl doesn't use his wings.
If Carl uses his wings, Mihawk is just like that in his eyes.
With a clenched fist in the void, the Seven Star Sword was controlled in his hand, and Carl closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
After this trip back from the gates of hell, Carl's swordsmanship has improved greatly. Now he just needs to wait until his injuries are healed before he can use it.
……
Sky Island
"Enelu, someone delivered a letter this morning.
"Letter? What letter? We are all on Sky Island now, so we don't need letters to transmit information."
Most of the information on Sky Island is transmitted by sound shells, and letters are rare here.
"You didn't open it?"
"Not yet, I just got it"
"Then open it and take a look, maybe there is something."
As he said that, he snatched the letter and opened it. A black feather fell out from the overlapping papers.
Clo picked up the feather and was about to read the letter when he saw Enelu opposite him with a horrified face. Then he laughed crazily.
"Ai, Enelu, what's wrong with you?"
"Chloe, look at what you have in your hand."
"What is that?"
Kro looked at the feather in his hand and it looked more and more familiar.
"This, this, this is the captain's feather"
"Wait for the letter to show me."
He took the letter and read the few short words on it."Still alive, wait for me on Sky Island."
Just these few simple words gave them comfort. This was the crisis their fleet had faced for more than a month. Before, Enelu barely held up the entire fleet, but without Carl, the entire team lost its backbone.
Although they have since been joined by Yamato, Hawkins, Monk Zheng and others.
Although they are now powerful, they have lost their goal.
Especially Enelu, he came down entirely because of Carl.
He was the most uncomfortable with Carl's unknown life and death.
The fleet could neither disband nor indulge in it.
So he sailed according to the list of crew members that Carl had written before.
It happened that the engine of his Thunder Fruit required a lot of gold, and the next crew member, Monk Zheng, was also here, so he simply hid on Sky Island for a while.
When he had decided on a target, he would go out to sea.
"Chloe, gather all the crew members quickly!"
""Okay."
Kro went out with a smile on his face, while Enelu laughed loudly in the room. This was the best news he had heard in such a long time. As for why Karl didn't come to see them, he already knew that Karl must have some reason not to show up.
""Enelu, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask us to come together?"
Yamato's voice came from outside. If we talk about who is the most arrogant in the Crown Pirates now, it is none other than Yamato. This girl is not someone who is willing to be inferior to others. And she doesn't listen to anyone except Carl.
Not to mention Enelu, if Enelu didn't have the Thunder Fruit, he might not be able to beat her. Yamato has perfectly inherited Kaido's skills. Even if he can't use the Conqueror's Haki now, he can still catch Enelu off guard with his Thunder Bagua.
"Come here, I have good news for you."
"What good news, Enelu?"
""Here, look."
Then he unfolded the envelope that Carl passed to everyone.
Then he placed the feather next to the letter. Except for Hawkins and the monk who didn't quite understand what was going on, the rest of the crew cheered.
They all knew too much, especially the value of Carl's feather. It can be said that even if Carl died, as long as he didn't want to spread his wings, no one could pluck his feathers.
And when Carl was taken away, the wings had been completely folded up. In this case, there is only one possibility for Carl's feather to appear in their hands, that is, Carl is still alive
"This is Carl's feather, and the handwriting is exactly the same."
Yamato and Hiyori looked at the black feather with golden light in their eyes, as if they had obtained a rare treasure.
"Well, now that the captain's safety has been confirmed, the captain asked us to wait on the sky island. Maybe he encountered some trouble. I think we should wait for the captain on the sky island at this time, because we can't afford the risk of being exposed now."
"I agree"
"Seconded"
"Seconded"
……
"Well, since it has been decided, we will start our training during this period. We must make sure that all members have mastered Haki before the captain comes back."
After that, a group of people began to enter the training room to start training. Even Hiyori, who was usually a non-combatant, joined in the training.
You know, Hiyori was young, so Carl didn't have too many requirements for her. She mainly studied navigation knowledge on a daily basis. She never went into the training room on normal days.
Carl's departure this time was a huge blow to her. She had always thought that if she had the ability to protect herself, Kawamatsu could join the battle.
In this way, she would not fall into danger.
