Seeing this, even Shakky and Lesley, watching from the side, couldn't help but clench their fists, looking at Nox with some tension.
This was the first time Nox had used firearms for training, as the power of firearms was quite significant.
Even the bodies of some Vice Admirals who were strong in body art, without using Iron Body or other methods, would be injured if hit by firearms.
"Fire!"
Nox said with his eyes closed!
"Bang bang bang!!!!"
The thirty Senior apprentice brothers in front fired simultaneously. Nox could feel the bullets breaking through his skin, drilling into his muscles, but then getting stuck in his muscles.
However, as the [Sword God Body Tempering Art] circulated, the bullets stuck in his muscles began to be squeezed out, and then the wounds started to heal.
"Fire!"
Feeling the condition of his body, Nox ordered again.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
While the thirty Senior apprentice brothers in the first circle were reloading, the thirty Senior apprentice brothers in the second circle continued to fire, and so on, until Nox called a halt after firing over six thousand bullets.
"Whoosh!!!!"
When the sound of firearms stopped, Nox's body was riddled with holes, covered in blood, looking extremely gruesome and terrifying, completely unlike what a living person should look like.
"Splash splash!!!"
Kano and Karoo skillfully carried buckets of water to help Nox wash away the blood on his body.
Although Nox's injuries looked terrifying at the moment, they were all just surface muscle wounds. In just a few minutes, his entire body's injuries were already on the verge of healing completely.
Afterward, Nox ate large amounts of grilled Sea Kings meat before finally ending his morning training with satisfaction.
"I've never seen you train so crazily."
After Nox came over to Shakky's side, Shakky couldn't help but complain. This self-abusive training method was the first time she had seen it.
"Without madness, you can't become a demon. For me, I'm already used to it. To gain power, you naturally have to pay a price."
Nox said indifferently.
"Speaking of which, how do I join the Rocks Pirates?"
Nox got straight to the point. Joining the Rocks Pirates was his previous goal. This largest ship in the New World carried many monsters.
He also wanted to go up and see how strong the other monsters on this ship were, and even more, he wanted to see how strong Rocks, who was famous throughout the World and called the World's strongest man, truly was!
Although Rocks later failed in his challenge to the World Government, he was the only Pirate in the past hundred years who had the qualification to challenge the World Government.
Even Roger, the so-called Pirate King, was far inferior to Rocks in terms of strength and influence.
As an ambitious Nox, he naturally wouldn't miss the Rocks Pirates, this massive giant ship that nurtured countless monsters.
"The Rocks Pirates are on Beehive Island. Every once in a while, they hold recruitment selections to screen out powerful Pirates to join the Rocks Pirates. The next recruitment selection is in just over a month."
Shakky wasn't surprised by Nox's desire to join the Rocks Pirates.
After all, in the New World now, the goal of many Pirates is to join the Rocks Pirates. Any smart Pirate knows that it's good to rely on a big tree for shade.
"Do you have a Log Pose for Beehive Island?"
Nox continued to ask. He did want to go to Beehive Island, but he didn't know the direction or location, as he had just set sail and didn't have this item.
"Here, this is it!"
Shakky took out the Log Pose from her ample bosom and handed it to Nox.
"Are you going back to Beehive Island? Or are you getting off the ship?"
Nox looked at Shakky and asked. He wouldn't forcefully restrict Shakky; he would respect his woman's choice.
No matter what Shakky thought, he had already considered Shakky his woman.
"Of course I'm going back to Beehive Island. With the intelligence base destroyed this time, I still need to go back and explain the intelligence clearly, and then establish a new intelligence base."
Shakky said.
"Alright then, if you have any needs on the ship, just find Lesley!"
"Also, you are my woman now, and from now on, you can only have me as your man!"
After Nox finished speaking, he walked away. He needed to undergo other training.
"He's really a domineering little man."
Looking at Nox's departing back, the corner of Shakky's mouth slightly curled up, and her beautiful eyes held a bit more approval.
After giving the Log Pose to the navigator and setting the ship's course towards Beehive Island, Nox put on his weighted iron armor, attached ropes, and jumped into the Sea to continue training.
On the ship, it was impossible to conduct any intense training, otherwise, the entire ship would be easily destroyed by him.
Only the vast and accommodating Sea could withstand his unrestrained slashes and various abuses.
The immense pressure from the Sea caused a deep stinging sensation all over his body. It wasn't just pressure on his body's muscles, but also pressure on his internal organs, which increased linearly with the depth of the Sea.
Since Awakening Busoshoku Haki, Nox's physical growth rate seemed to have hit an accelerator, soaring rapidly, and his Haki growth rate was also extremely fast.
Since rescuing Shakky, the Limitless Pirates had been sailing towards Beehive Island, replenishing supplies when passing islands, and then continuing their voyage.
After sailing for over half a month, Nox's Haki had already been cultivated to the point where it could cover his entire body, meaning he could now begin cultivating the fourth layer of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art].
"Let's try it and see how Haki body tempering is different from other body tempering methods."
Nox had long since memorized all the content of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art] thoroughly, waiting for the day he possessed Busoshoku Haki.
Following the circulation method of the fourth layer of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], he used Haki to temper his skin along a special trajectory throughout his body.
"Hiss!!!"
As soon as he started tempering, Nox felt an intense pain on his skin.
It was like an ordinary person being bitten all over by countless ants, a sensation so intense that even Nox, who underwent devilish training every day, couldn't help but gasp.
"What is this little pain compared to everything else!"
However, Nox gritted his teeth and endured this pain. To put it simply, this little pain was nothing to his firm will. He had experienced training that was far more painful than this countless times.
After getting used to this pain, Nox, who was proficient in Life Return and had strong control over his body, began to notice.
After being tempered by Haki, his skin became slightly tighter, which made his skin defense a little stronger.
If he continued to temper it persistently, his skin would become tighter, firmer, and its defense would become stronger and stronger.
