Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 : From Swordsman to Swordsman!

After hearing the system's prompt, Andy's face showed no excitement, as if it were only natural.

He then walked over to Daru, stored Daru's gun and his own gun in his spatial inventory, and walked out of the forest while looking at the system panel.

Daru's body, naturally, would be handled by others.

Host: Garfield Andy

Age: 15

Height: 236cm

Martial Arts: None

Swordsmanship Proficiency (Swordsman): 60/100 (Can add points; a qualitative change will occur upon reaching max level)

Observation Haki Proficiency (Normal): 30/100 (Can add points; a qualitative change will occur upon reaching max level)

Devil Fruit: None

Sniping: 40/100 (Can add points)

Physique Strength: 38 million Berries level (Can add points)

Bounty Points: 30.4 million points

System Storage: Various Berries, various cutlery and tools, various clothes, blankets, and quilts, one tent, two sniper rifles, a broken Tang broadsword, a jet ski.

Finally, he could enhance his sniping skills!

"System, consume 10 million Bounty Points to enhance sniping!"

"Ding~"

"Enhancing... Enhancement successful!"

A few seconds passed, and Andy saw his sniping skill go from 40/100 to 50/100. It seemed that sniping also cost 1 million Bounty Points per point.

His physique strength was still sufficient for now, so he could enhance his swordsmanship first.

Although everyone currently considered Andy a sniper, who could resist how cool wielding a sword looked?

When in battle, at a certain moment, an enemy gets close, and Andy pulls out a blade, then displays top-tier Great Swordsman level swordsmanship...

Just thinking about it felt incredibly satisfying!

"System, consume 20 million Bounty Points to enhance swordsmanship!"

"Enhancing... Enhancement successful!"

At this moment,

Andy's swordsmanship directly leaped from Swordsman to Swordsman!

In the system panel, the swordsmanship entry changed to Swordsmanship Proficiency (Swordsman): 00/100 (Can add points; a qualitative change will occur upon reaching max level)

In an instant, Andy felt that his swordsmanship had undergone a qualitative leap, becoming infinitely more powerful than before!

Andy felt that he could now defeat a bunch of 'Blade Emperors and Sword Saints' from the East Blue.

It was just that he didn't have a sword right now; his Tang broadsword was already broken into two pieces, and it was covered in nicks.

Otherwise, he would definitely try out this so-called 'Iron Cutting' realm right now.

Letting the rain fall on him, Andy had already walked out of the forest area of 'Garbage Mountain.'

The moment Andy appeared, those waiting there knew that Andy and Daru had decided the victor.

The winner was Andy!

This meant that from this moment on, no one would question Andy's title as the number one sniper of the West Blue!

"H-how is that possible..."

"Daru actually lost... How could he lose to a newcomer!"

"He actually lost..."

"My... my Berries... I trusted Daru and bet all my fortune on Daru winning..."

"How could this happen..."

...

"Mwahahaha... Andy really won!"

"Fantastic!"

"I'm rich! My intuition was right after all; even though Andy is young, his strength and potential are stronger than Daru's!"

"Hahahaha..."

"I'm rich, I'm rich..."

"Andy, congratulations on becoming the true number one sniper of the West Blue!"

"Congratulations!"

"Andy..."

...

At the edge of the forest, two different sounds, two completely opposite emotions, instantly spread.

But facing all this, Andy's face and heart remained undisturbed; all he wanted now was to become stronger!

And this was not a safe place.

He currently possessed strength equivalent to 30 million Berries, but no one knew if there would be any powerful individuals living in retirement in this chaotic place.

It was at this moment that several of Daru's fervent fans began rushing into the forest.

And those who had bet on Daru winning began to slowly disperse dejectedly, while those who had bet on Andy winning also cleared a path, watching Andy, the victor, leave.

Regarding Andy's current aloof attitude, no one present had any dissatisfaction; on the contrary, they felt that this was the attitude a strong person should possess.

After Andy left, Admiral Aokiji emerged from a dark alley.

At the edge of the forest, everyone instantly felt a strong chill, and they shivered, quickly tightening their already soaked clothes and leaving the area.

Aokiji's gaze lingered on the direction Andy had left, as if he had thought of something. He pulled out a Den Den Mushi, made a call, and then turned to leave as well.

Upon returning to the hotel, Andy received a victor's welcome, but he politely declined the enthusiastic crowd and returned to his room alone.

The hotel lobby was instantly filled with a melancholic atmosphere.

...

After returning to his room, Andy walked directly into the bathroom, took off all his wet clothes, and then walked naked into the bathtub.

Lying in the tub, Andy turned on the hot water tap, slowly letting the hot water fill the entire bathtub.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside through the bathroom's one-way glass, Andy quietly pondered the path he would take next.

Originally, with Robin around, he didn't have to think too much, because Robin had wandered the West Blue for so many years and knew more things.

As long as Andy set his sights on someone, Robin could help him gather intelligence, and even know the person's exact location.

Robin, who had been involved with various gangs for so long, had this ability. In their combination, as long as no Admiral-level enemies or flying enemies appeared, Andy could protect her.

After all, his jet ski's speed was something a Marine warship couldn't catch up to!

But now Robin had left, and she had even resorted to poisoning to leave. She must have been threatened and feared that he would also suffer.

However, now was not the time to think about such things. The first thing he needed to solve was the issue of direction.

Because he didn't know how to navigate!

He couldn't stay on the Islands forever. He had now acquired three skills: swordsmanship, sniping, and Observation Haki.

But this was far from enough!

Without Armament Haki, if he encountered a Logia Devil Fruit user or some other strange ability user, he would only be able to flee.

Therefore, he absolutely had to obtain Armament Haki!

He should be able to find someone in the West Blue who knew Armament Haki and whom he could defeat. As long as he defeated such a person, he would get an Armament Haki drop!

However...

Another drop, Haoshoku, was what Andy desired most!

But...

According to the plot he had seen, it seemed there was only one person in the West Blue who possessed Haoshoku right now.

That was the current pillar of the Happo Navy,

Chinjao!

But this bent drill-headed man was not weak; in his youth, he forced Garp to train his iron fist with mountain-smashing punches.

Only then did he defeat Chinjao.

As for Andy...

He was currently just a small fry who didn't even know Armament Haki; wanting to defeat Chinjao was simply a pipe dream!

"ε=(´ο`*))) Ah..."

"Headache..."

"It's better to get the Armament Haki drop first, and then aim for Haoshoku..."
