According to Noah’s analysis, peaceful evolution was impossible; a full-scale decisive battle was bound to happen eventually.
This penicillin is a welcome gift for the Revolutionary Army.
The World Government heavily suppresses the Revolutionary Army, so they must be desperately short of medicine.
This kind of cheap antibiotic, easily sourced, can increase their chances of victory in the future.
Moreover, the Revolutionary Army’s work in the early stages mostly involves helping oppressed people overthrow their rulers, during which many civilians will be injured.
On the sea, population is also crucial.
The blueprint for the future Age of Exploration requires ordinary people to accomplish more.
Save a life if you can.
Dr.
Kureha, truly a witch over 100 years old, saw the core of the matter at a glance and also recognized the terrifying nature of the man before her.
An event like this, initiated from the bottom, will inevitably become a very troublesome large problem as time goes on.
“You remind me of someone I’ve met.”
The witch’s words made Noah confused and a little curious.
“It was Dragon.
He had a similar essence.
You both are people who will make the seas no longer calm.”
“You really know a lot.”
“After all, I’m a beautiful woman over 100 years old, so it’s normal to have some knowledge.”
That’s true.
Given Dr.
Kureha’s medical skills and age, it wouldn’t be surprising if she said she knew Rocks D.
Xebec.
“I’ve seen this information.
It will also take two weeks, and I’ll provide the manufacturing method.
As for the Belly, forget it.
Just send me a few more bottles of plum wine in the future.”
“Also, I’m this old, and I don’t want to get involved in your affairs.
Don’t say such nonsensical things to me.
Dragon insisted on talking to me back then, and I beat him until his head was full of bumps.
I mean, when that brat went all out.”
“Uh…”
This was the first time Noah was speechless.
The act of “passing the torch” had been preempted by Dragon.
Damn it!
And he failed, which also indicated how terrifyingly strong this witch was.
So…
“No, I deeply respect Ms.
Dr.
Kureha.”
One must understand social graces, and even more so, respect the old and cherish the young.
“That’s best.
Find rooms for yourselves in the castle, or you can go down the mountain to stay.
Staying in the castle costs one million Belly per day.”
“Okay.”
Noah and Robin ultimately decided to stay in the castle.
Robin wanted to go play with the Lapahn.
It was rare to see Robin have a hobby beyond reading, so Noah naturally had to indulge her.
As for Noah, he wanted to try what it felt like to train on the snow mountain.
The next day, Robin, dressed in thick clothes, ran out.
Noah wasn’t worried.
Drum Island currently had no powerful figures besides Dr.
Kureha, and Robin’s strength could allow her to walk all over this country.
Even in the first half of the Grand Line, Devil Fruit users were considered top-tier fighters.
Noah carried the Wado Ichimonji and found an unoccupied mountain peak, intending to train himself in a new way.
At the swordsman stage, the condensation of intent and Haki are the two key points.
Others draw upon the strengths of various schools.
Noah’s advantage was his memory from his previous life, which contained countless masters, various philosophies, and training methods.
Now, he decided to learn from the path of Elder Netero from the Hunter Association during his swordsman stage.
Elder Netero’s Nen style was perfectly suited for Noah.
The world of One Piece, like the world of Hunter x Hunter, is a world with supernatural power.
President Netero, as an enhancement-type Nen user, had his body tempered to the extreme, possessed a vast reserve of Nen, and his attack methods were somewhat similar to swordsmen in the pirate world.
However, one uses fists and palms to emit energy, while the other uses a sword to unleash slashes.
Isaac Netero was a man who pursued the pinnacle of martial arts throughout his life.
At the age of 46, Netero felt his body and physical condition had reached their limit.
Overwhelmed by gratitude for his martial arts achievements, he began training on a high mountain, practicing ten thousand grateful punch strikes per day.
Initially, ten thousand punches took 18 hours.
By the time he was over 50, he only needed an hour to throw ten thousand punches, thus gaining more time for prayer.
After descending the mountain, Netero’s punch speed surpassed the speed of sound.
When he went to challenge other dojos, he only needed one punch to convince the masters, bringing them to tears and causing them to willingly hand over their academies.
A monster of his generation was thus born.
Through the Elder’s training method, it’s clear that in the final stage, the Elder had perfectly integrated Nen, intent, and physique into every attack, creating his Nen style.
Taking off his jacket, Noah began to calm his emotions in the cold wind.
He drew the Wado Ichimonji and activated Armament Haki.
He swung the first sword, the second sword, the third sword.
On the peak of the deserted snowy mountain, Noah began to immerse himself.
His flying slash attack still had a lot of room for improvement.
In the last sword strike Koushiro unleashed during his battle, many elements were softened.
It contained the Armament Haki with the characteristic of Ryou, the aura of Swordsmanship, and Conqueror’s Haki, all unleashed at once as a flying slash.
However, these powers were not well integrated.
If he encountered a master swordsman like Mihawk, their imperfection could be exploited from the disconnect between the various powers within the sword energy, and a simple sword strike could shatter it.
The first thing Noah needed to do now was to make his powers more coordinated.
On the first day, from morning till night, Noah only focused on combining Armament Haki with intent.
A full day of giving his all was very draining.
That night, upon returning to the castle and eating a large meal, he was chided by Madam Witch, who threw him a syringe.
The name was simple: Physique Replenishment Potion, extremely nutritious, costing 500,000 Belly per syringe.
Compared to the previous prices, Noah surprisingly felt it was quite cheap.
The second day was the same.
On the third night, Noah felt that applying Armament Haki had become very natural, and the combination with intent was showing initial success.
The fourth day.
Noah began to combine Armament Haki, intent, and sword aura.
He continued to swing his sword.
This time, the disturbance was quite significant, stirring up gusts of wind on the snow mountain peak.
The snow on the summit was blown towards the foot of the mountain, as if a heavy snow had begun.
The residents of Drum Island were somewhat confused.
Although this was a winter island, it shouldn’t be snowing this heavily at this time of year.
On the fifth day, the snow lessened slightly.
On the sixth day, it stopped snowing altogether.
On the seventh day, the area where Noah was practicing swordsmanship was calm and peaceful.
It turned out he had already integrated the sword aura.
Now, the power of each sword strike was concentrated on the blade, with no leakage.
Only the enemy struck by the sword would know the power contained within.
On the eighth day, he attempted Conqueror’s Haki infusion.
The first step was to release Conqueror’s Haki.
Boom!
An avalanche directly occurred, and the clouds in the sky began to churn.
Some animals on the mountain immediately fainted and died silently under the avalanche.
“Uh…”
The disturbance was a bit too great.
He tried to restrain himself and breathe calmly.
This made Noah a little carried away.
It was obvious that his control over Conqueror’s Haki was too poor.
He hadn’t used it much in the Four Seas before, so now he had to catch up.
So, he continued.
Release, retract.
Release, retract.
The mountain rumbled incessantly.
The towns at the foot of the mountain began to circulate new legends.
The witch had angered the gods, so the gods were punishing the witch with lightning.
Returning to the castle at night, he found Kureha looking at him as if he were crazy.
Then she grabbed Noah by the collar and lifted him up.
“Are you sick?
Are you trying to destroy my castle, huh!
Is having Conqueror’s Haki something to be proud of?
I’ve seen plenty of Conqueror’s Haki users, and no one is as smug as you.
Does Conqueror’s Haki have a switch that flashes back and forth?”
Noah looked a little embarrassed, gesturing with his hands.
“Uh, I’m practicing Conqueror’s Haki infusion, you know, the kind where you wrap Conqueror’s Haki around your sword like Armament Haki.
I’m just starting, and it’s a bit difficult.
Give me a few more days, and I’ll be able to focus it on the sword.”
After a moment of silence, the witch became furious.
“Conqueror’s Haki infusion isn’t fully concentrated on the sword.
How can spirit be contained within a physical object?
It’s the core transfer of spirit Ka’mui to the sword, you idiot!
A mental distress fee of 10 million Belly, or you can get out and go down the mountain.”
“What the fuck, it’s like this?”
Noah was speechless.
He had indeed been assuming too much.
He thought it was the same path as Armament Haki.
He hadn’t expected Kureha to understand even this.
She must have been a veteran adventurer on the seas back in the day; she’s truly an old monster.
However, this piece of advice was indeed worth it.
Only 10 million Belly?
He had made a profit.
Dropping Noah, Kureha turned back to her laboratory, seething with anger.
From the ninth day onwards, Noah went to more distant mountain peaks to practice, with constant rumbling sounds every day.
On the 14th day, his cultivation finally came to a temporary halt.
He had gained some insights regarding Conqueror’s Haki infusion.
Basically, with proper preparation, he could infuse it on one out of three sword strikes.
Two weeks of arduous training concluded.
The results were excellent.
Constitution: 80
Strength: 80
Speed: 89
Skills:
Soru: Expert 5%
Rankyaku: Expert 1%
Conqueror’s Haki: 20% – 24%
Swordsmanship: Master 50%
Observation Haki: Master 2%
Armament Haki: Master 1%
He had made great strides in Swordsmanship and was steadily moving towards becoming a top swordsman.
After days of high-intensity practice, Armament Haki had also entered the Master level.
And then there was the progress in Conqueror’s Haki.
Noah could now say he could use Conqueror’s Haki proficiently, which was not easy at all.
