Blake was never stubborn; if one path didn't work, he would try another.
He raised his hand, black energy emanating from between his fingers...
Chapter 54 You Are My Wings Too
When Blake first acquired Barrett's demonic energy, he had considered a question—
Judging from Zoro's performance, demonic energy can also be applied to weapons in the same way as Conqueror's Haki.
In his previous life, the debate about whether Zoro possessed Conqueror's Haki lasted for a long time.
The official website once released a set of Vivre Cards, in which Zoro's abilities did indeed include Conqueror's Haki.
Strangely, on the third day after the announcement, the authorities withdrew this batch of life cards.
This has given a new sense of suspense to what had seemed like a settled debate.
It wasn't until Jabba fell into the underworld and met Zoro that he personally revealed the fact that Zoro possessed Conqueror's Haki.
Zoro appeared surprised, even somewhat incredulous.
This shows that even he himself was unaware that he possessed Conqueror's Haki before this.
So, during the Onigashima battle, Zoro naturally wrapped his sword with demonic energy to break through Kaido's defenses.
From this, we can deduce that demonic energy can be used to attack in a similar way to Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, which can greatly enhance attack power.
Black now possesses Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and Demonic Aura.
If he could combine all three elements into his attack, to what extent would his attack power increase?
With that in mind, Blake was not ready to try it immediately.
Since I've already got the Conqueror's Haki envelopment, it'll be easy to incorporate Armament Haki into it.
Since the principle of demonic energy is similar to that of Conqueror's Haki, it shouldn't be too difficult to entangle it.
Having just finished a life-or-death battle, Blake desperately needed to relax.
"Hmm... work-life balance!"
The Temple sailed leisurely on the sea, and Blake's life returned to normal.
Besides teasing the little slaves every day, he also studies how to improve his strength.
After mastering Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, Black defeated both the young Garp and the young Roger.
They revealed one card of Conqueror's Haki and one card of swordsmanship ability.
Black's Conqueror's Haki and swordsmanship improved once again, but he did not undergo a transformation.
In Blake's view, the so-called youth representative of the Card Space is not old at all.
It may even have been before the Battle of God Valley.
Both of them are still a long way from their peak.
Besides that, the minor pirate characters did contribute some interesting things.
Ability Cards: Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit - Peregrine Falcon Form, Zoan-type Turtle-Turtle Fruit - Giant Tortoise Form.
Blake suspected that the card system was hinting that it was time for him to eat a Devil Fruit.
After all, throughout history, all the top powerhouses were, without exception, Devil Fruit users.
The sun god, the earth god, the forest god, the demon...
You can tell these people are ability users just by their nicknames.
But no rush, let's wait until we find the right Devil Fruit.
Blake has been using the ability cards he prepared for Mandy on her these past few days.
In another year or two, Mandy will be returning to the Kingdom of Wobcondin.
Blake plans to train her properly during this time to help her adapt to her own abilities.
We can't let Kella's house-destroying behavior happen again.
The deck gleamed in the morning mist, and Mandy's rapier tip flashed with a cold light.
She stood like a javelin, her breathing in sync with the waves.
Blake remained reclining in his golden chaise lounge, with Stella setting out various refreshments on the table beside him.
It's still early, and the slaves haven't gotten up yet.
The only sounds on the deck were the whistling of Mandy's longsword cutting through the air and the rustling of the sea breeze through the sails.
When Mandy stopped training, Blake smashed a grape and complained:
"After swinging the sword five hundred times, it only completed three hundred and seventy-two strokes. Do the slaves of the Celestial Dragons no longer need to learn math?"
Mandy didn't stop, walking straight to the tea table, picking up her teacup, taking a sip, and then saying:
"You miscounted."
His tone was cold and indifferent, as if he had no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.
However, judging from her actions, it was clearly a different story.
Blake wasn't annoyed by the retort; he simply picked up a grape and threw it at the person who had said it.
"How dare you talk back!"
A grape fell into a teacup, and Mandy easily dodged the splash.
Blake felt a little bored and turned to Stella, instructing her:
"Go and wake up those who are still in bed; it's time to eat."
Then he glared at Mandy:
"Live-fire training this morning."
Mandy found things less fun after acquiring Observation Haki, so he decided not to prepare ability cards for Perona anymore.
Perona: ? ? ?
The breakfast on the ship seemed rather simple compared to that in Mary Geoise, and Blake began to miss his days in the Holy Land.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Blake tapped his plate with his spoon and turned to look at Stella:
"Stella, please take good care of them today."
"Mandy, come with me to the training room."
The Temple was very large, so during the design process, basically every conceivable function was incorporated.
Although the training room is not as luxurious as the one in the manor, it is still fully equipped.
Blake led Mandy into the training room.
Dark golden light shone through the carved dome, leaving fragmented spots of light on the sea stone floor.
The twelve crystal chandeliers swayed slightly, illuminating the dust suspended in the air as if it were fine snow.
"Your strength is such that you wouldn't be at a disadvantage even when facing a Navy Vice Admiral."
“But now you are just like Kera back then, unable to use this power properly.”
"The difference is that Kerla acts like a demolition crew, while you act like a thief."
"Next, I'll let you get used to your current strength."
As he spoke, Blake extended a hand and beckoned:
"Come, attack me."
The sword flashed and stabbed at Blake with lightning speed.
It's hard to say that there wasn't some personal grudge involved.
Blake took out a jeweled dagger and flicked it lightly, deflecting the tip of the sword.
By noon, blood was seeping from Mandy's hand.
She tried to condense her domineering aura into armor, but the black mist always dissipated before it could cover her arms.
Blake leaned against the wall and reminded him:
"Perceive the flow, not brute force."
Mandy suddenly turned and stabbed!
The rapier pierced through Blake's afterimage, but he was already behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
His breath brushed against her ear, his fingers traced the back of her neck:
"Observation Haki isn't a toy for you to use to chase and slash."
Mandy stood frozen in place.
It wasn't just because of Blake's actions.
She felt the surging domineering energy within her gradually being tamed under Blake's guidance.
Blake didn't continue. Instead, after her aura had completely stabilized, he released her and tossed her a bottle of ointment.
"Let's stop here for today. This is barely acceptable."
"Such beautiful hands, it would be such a shame to leave scars."
Mandy took the medicine bottle and asked in a low voice:
"why?"
The sentence seemed abrupt and unrelated, but Blake clearly understood Mandy's meaning.
His face displayed his usual wicked grin:
"Because you are my wings too."
After saying that, he turned and left the training room.
Mandy gripped the bottle tightly, listening to Blake and Robin arguing outside, and for the first time, she felt the sound of the waves was so noisy.
Chapter 55 Knowing There Are Tigers in the Mountains, Don't Go Where You Know (Daily tasks can be skipped)
Several more months passed, and the Temple had crossed the Calm Belt and arrived at the waters near Ohara.
The dawn light seeped through the clouds like diluted blood, and the gilded bow of the Temple cast a shadow on the dilapidated docks of Ohara.
Perona tried to catch a falling feather on tiptoe, but Stella gently pressed her head down.
"No pranks today."
Her hand brushed against Perona's head, her voice soft.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Olvia's fingers gripping the gunwale tightly, trembling slightly from the force.
Perona reluctantly agreed.
She had only been here once before and didn't have any particular feelings for the place. Plus, due to her personality, she didn't sense anything was wrong with the atmosphere.
Rami noticed Robin's somewhat vacant gaze and whispered to Kelala:
"Is Sister Robin sick?"
Koala shook her head and walked up to Robin:
"Sister Robin, do you want to play hopscotch?"
"When I was little, my mother once told me that if I hopped on the 100th time, I could have a wish granted."
Robin turned to look at Koala, a hint of emotion flickering in her eyes.
She forced a smile:
"Thank you, Kella."
"Get off the boat!"
When Blake's voice came, Robin quickly ran forward, closely following behind Blake, clutching his cloak tightly.
