Thanks to his experience in his previous life, Sager has always had a way of making career plans.
Unfortunately, I had bad luck and never finished it.
Now there are finally some signs of success in becoming a pirate.
"The Grand Route?"
Lily murmured. Even though she grew up in a palace, she had heard of the name of the Grand Line.
"The graveyard of pirates, some also call it 'paradise', but no matter what, it is a very dangerous place. Can we really go there now? Only you can do that, Sager."
He is powerful, there is no doubt about that.
For example, the warships that chased them in the past few days were all dealt with by Sager alone, and they were of no help.
But such a life cannot last forever. There will always be situations like when he met Ennio, where Sager is entangled.
"Teach me to become stronger, Sager." Lily said firmly: "I want to be as strong as you."
"I will teach you even if you don't tell me."
Sager smiled and said, "With our level, we may not be able to get through the East China Sea if we encounter a powerful enemy, let alone the Grand Line."
Originally, he wanted to wait for a while, until Lily got used to the pirate life before discussing this, and also mention the strength of his subordinates, but Lily spoke first, so there was no reason to refuse.
"I will teach you the six styles, but how much you can learn is up to you. These moves are very demanding on the body. But since you are a swordsman, there is no need to learn all of them. The best ones are the ones that are suitable for you."
The Six Styles are certainly practical, but it is not necessary to learn all of them.
Sager is because the principles are the same and you can understand it at a glance.
But that may not be the case for others.
In Sager's eyes, the only ones who currently have the qualifications for the Six Styles are Lily, Ajin, and Palu.
Lily is very fast, so she can learn to shave first and then master the Moon Step.
Ajin has a good physique and is a well-rounded type, so he can try to master all six styles.
Palu is a natural iron expert.
"I understand. I will study hard!" Lily nodded heavily and left the captain's room.
Sager picked up a bottle of wine, opened the cork, and poured a glass into the jewel wine glass he had just seized, but he did not move. Instead, he looked at his hands.
"Domineering."
Compared to the Six Styles which can be learned, Haki is difficult to practice.
If you want to go to the Grand Line, even the first half, you will be in trouble if you don't have domineering power.
The reason why it is called "Paradise" is, of course, because those guys who failed in the New World called it that when they returned to the first half.
And there is the Navy Headquarters there. You can't say that a large headquarters won't be domineering, right?
Without understanding domineering, Sarger wouldn't have entered the Grand Line.
But this thing is indeed a bit difficult.
Sager has done targeted training. There is also a method of "fighting spirit" in the Fist of the North Star, but he still cannot cultivate fighting spirit. Without domineering spirit, he cannot use fighting spirit. The two should be one and the same.
They are all manifestations of willpower.
When it comes to willpower, Sager is definitely not weak.
He has never given up his dream despite being unlucky for so long, and he remains strong no matter how many times he fails in his business.
He has no problem with either his mobility or his willpower.
But neither his Armament Haki nor his Observation Haki understood.
As for fear and laziness, that kind of lost spirit,
he stared at the wine glass. Under the light, the wine faintly reflected his white hair and his pupils, which quickly disappeared into the red wine.
Sager drank the red wine in one gulp. He turned his head to look at the sea outside the window. His voice was light, but with a confidence that could not be ignored.
"I've never been afraid."
He had a will when he was born. From that time on, he had never been afraid of anything. Even death didn't matter to Sager.
Being a pauper is more terrifying than death, especially being a pauper with bad luck!
Sager poured himself another glass of wine and said to himself, "Old man, the peaceful life you want is also my dream, but there is no other way. I have done everything legal and illegal. You can't let me die of poverty."
Under the flickering lights, Sager's figure, who was drinking alone, was infinitely elongated in the light, and with the noisy laughter of those drinking outside, it seemed that something was brewing.
"We can only make some noise."
…
With the nautical chart, Sager was naturally not completely blind. He headed straight for Natia early the next morning. After a day, he saw the island at night.
The Kingdom of Natia is an island kingdom, a high island, surrounded by huge rock walls, with only one place being a shallow beach, which is used as a port.
The entire kingdom is like a huge staircase. From the bottom up, you can see villages, towns and the highest castle.
Lily put down the telescope and said, "Sager, this seems difficult to attack."
Although it was dark, the other side's port was brightly lit, and there were many artillery batteries nearby. If you look through a telescope, you can even see the heavily guarded soldiers.
"We have to attack even if it's difficult, otherwise I won't be able to live with this."
Sager also put down the telescope and threw it to the pirate behind him, then stepped on the bow of the ship and said, "I will attack first and dismantle the turret, then you can go in!"
It's obviously not possible for the pirate ship to rush in, as it can easily be shot down by cannons. He only has this one ship, and there are Bailey and treasures on it.
It would be better for him to go first.
"Wait, Sager, it looks like a boat is coming."
Just as Sager was about to fly over with the Moon Step, Lily suddenly spoke again. She picked up the telescope, looked to the left, and said, "It's the Black Sail Pirates."
"Um?"
Sager turned his head and saw a speedboat with a black sail coming from the sea and approaching this side quickly.
Ajin on the side clenched his crutch, and the remaining pirates also drew their swords and muskets, looking at them unfriendly.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
But before they could take any action, a sound was heard from the black sailing ship.
A pirate stood on the bow and shouted, "How dare you disobey orders and go out to plunder? And this ship... you robbed a warship?!"
The sailboat came a little closer. After the pirate confirmed that it was a warship, he said in horror: "You are too bold to sail to the port blatantly. Evacuate quickly from the dark cave. Wait, who are you?!"
As the sailboat approached, the pirate on the bow could see clearly the people on the black-sailed warship, and he didn't recognize any of them.
"enemy"
"Flying Finger Gun!"
The pirate was about to shout when Sager bent his index finger and shot it hard. The pirate on the opposite side was like being shot. His head tilted back and he fell down.
"Moon Step!"
He stepped on the air with one foot and rose into the air as if climbing up a staircase. After a few moves, he quickly landed on the bow of the sailboat, looking down from high above at the pirates who had just been on alert because of the attack.
The sea breeze blew, blowing Sager's hair. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing his white teeth, looking extremely ferocious in the dark night.
"I've been looking for you guys for a while now, and finally I found your nest!"
"Who are you."
"shave!"
Before the pirates could react, Sager's figure quickly disappeared from the bow, turned into a residual shadow, passed straight past the pirates, and reached the stern in an instant.
Whoosh.
The wind blew, making the "Jianshan Cloak" on his body rustle.
"Don't worry."
Sager turned around, looked at the pirate who was terrified but motionless, and said calmly: "I will ask them one by one."
By pressing the secret acupoints, Sager was able to freeze the bodies of these pirates instantly.
This move actually has a name, it's called 'Beidou Qishe Quan'. Generally speaking, hitting the shoulder can paralyze a person.
But when one reaches his level of practice, it doesn't matter where you press. There are similar paralysis of secret holes on the forehead, shoulders, chest, back and thighs.
Anyway, it's just a secret hole method, and it doesn't have a unique effect like the Hundred Ripping Fist, so it doesn't matter whether it's called by a name or not.
The black-sailed warship approached the side of the sailboat. Lily jumped onto the deck, drew out her rapier, and glanced at the pirates coldly, "Are you going to kill them?"
"Not for now, I still need them to lead the way."
Sager walked towards the nearest pirate, smiled at him, and quickly tapped his face and chest twice with his fingers. Immediately, the pirate's face twisted, his motionless body twitched slightly, and sweat flowed down, as if he was enduring some extreme pain.
"Remember this feeling."
Sager tapped a few more times, and the pirate suddenly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes full of fear.
At that moment just now, the pain was as if his body was forcibly twisted, as if countless knives were scraping and cutting inside his body, but he couldn't even scream.
"The response has been good."
Sager nodded and said, "Tell me how to get out of your dark cave."
He didn't want to play any death-threatening games with these pirates. He had a better way.
It is enough to make people feel pain, and this kind of pain will not kill people, they can only endure it silently.
A group of ordinary pirates, no one could stand this, even if they were really strong-willed and could endure it.
Sager glanced at the other people who were standing still.
There are others.
