"However, this tempering speed seems a bit slow!"
After tempering for a quarter of an hour, his Haki was depleted by a tenth, but the tempering effect left Nox unsatisfied.
Although he didn't know how efficient others were at tempering their bodies with Haki, at his current speed, completing the tempering of the fourth layer of the Sword God Body Tempering Art would take at least three years.
Of course, after his Haki quantity and quality improved, the tempering speed would definitely increase.
At the same time, even if he completed the tempering of the fourth layer of the Sword God Body Tempering Art now,
After his Haki quality reached a higher level, he could return and use the higher-quality Haki to re-temper his skin, making it even more resistant.
It could be said that the Sword God Body Tempering Art was a Haki tempering method that would never become outdated.
"Since Haki cannot be increased for the time being, let's use external forces to accelerate the tempering effect of Haki."
Subsequently, Nox once again asked his Senior apprentice brothers to bring out weapons such as wolf tooth clubs, swords, and heavy hammers to help him train.
"Senior Brother, please excuse us!"
The Senior apprentice brothers did not refuse Nox's request.
Moreover, this opportunity allowed them to use their ultimate moves without restraint. It could be said that Nox was also a different kind of sandbag for them, except this sandbag was very hard and durable.
"Bang bang bang!!!!"
As the weapons continuously struck Nox's body, his skin cracked and his muscles were also damaged to a certain extent.
Then, in the process of being injured, Nox used the fourth layer of the Sword God Body Tempering Art to temper his skin, and he surprisingly found that the new skin that grew was stronger than the original skin.
Furthermore, this method of stimulating with external forces was several times more efficient than tempering with Haki alone.
"I didn't expect such an effect. It seems I need to trouble these Senior apprentice brothers more."
After seeing such an effect, Nox decided that from now on, his Senior apprentice brothers would help him train for at least six hours every day, and he would only practice swordsmanship during the remaining time.
As half a month passed, Nox felt that his strength was improving by leaps and bounds.
Even though Haki tempering mainly tempered the skin, when Haki flowed through his body, it would still temper his body, making it stronger.
It had only been a little over a month since Nox set sail, and he felt that he had become much, much stronger. This speed of becoming stronger was much faster than at any time before.
"Perhaps after the Busoshoku Haki Awakening, my strength and physique are in a period of rapid improvement."
Nox thought to himself, only this situation could explain why his strength was increasing so quickly.
After all, Luffy also made rapid progress after his Busoshoku Haki Awakening.
After half a month of hard training, Nox also felt a bit tired, so he planned to stop and rest for a while, giving his body a break.
However, he planned to rest, but someone would not give him this opportunity.
"Senior Brother!!"
Nox had just returned to his room and taken a shower when Lesley came to his room.
Today, Lesley was wearing a light blue silk nightgown, revealing her snow-white and crystal-clear skin. Her magnificent chest was tightly bound, on the verge of bursting out.
Her skin was fair, soft, and smooth, with a radiant glow. Her face was beautiful, and beneath her curved willow eyebrows were clear, watery eyes.
Her small, delicate nose, luscious lips, and the shallow smile in her dimples gave her a mature and natural elegant charm in addition to her prettiness.
It could be said that it seemed Nox truly understood Lesley only now.
After Lesley saw Nox, regardless of his reaction, she rushed forward directly. Her exquisite and graceful body pressed close, instantly making Nox's blood boil.
After the incident with Shakky, Nox had no longer restrained his nature, but instead indulged it and acted according to his impulses.
Since Lesley was so proactive, Nox naturally wouldn't be a gentleman like Liu Xiahui. Instead, he turned passive into active and engaged in an exciting battle with Lesley.
"Senior Brother, I…"
"Don't say anything, I understand everything…"
After the great battle ended, Nox walked out of the room feeling refreshed, while Lesley, due to her first battle, had consumed too much physical strength and needed sleep to recover.
Nox himself had a strong physique, and even though he had wasted a lot of physical strength, he was still full of energy and unaffected.
If it weren't for Lesley being a first-timer and lacking physical strength, he could have continued the battle for three hundred more rounds!
After relaxing, Nox was ready to start training again.
"You train so frequently every day and endure so much pain. Don't you feel tired of it?"
"Since you've become a Pirate, shouldn't you enjoy the freedom of a Pirate?"
Looking at Nox, who trained persistently every day under the sun and wind, Shakky asked in confusion.
In the Rocks Pirates, she rarely saw Pirates who trained on their own. After all, which Pirate wasn't indulging in unrestrained enjoyment? Who would spend so much time training painstakingly?
It could be said that very few Pirates could be as patient and persistent in training as Nox.
"If I don't train persistently, how can I gain powerful strength in a short period of time? Without powerful strength, I won't be able to live long on this cruel Sea."
"It's not that I don't want to enjoy the freedom of a Pirate, but I know that my strength is still very weak now, and I'm not qualified to stop and enjoy freedom yet."
"Just like you before, if you had my strength, would you still be afraid of those CP members? You would kill as many as came, there would be no need to run away."
Nox replied.
Hearing this, Shakky also knew how firm this man's desire for power was, and she said no more. All she could do was help him relax when he was tired.
"Senior Brother, a pirate ship has arrived ahead, and it's flying the Rocks Pirates flag."
Karoo said nervously. The Rocks Pirates were the overlords of the New World, so he couldn't help but be nervous.
"Hmm? Rocks Pirates?"
Nox looked in the direction Karoo indicated. Under his Kenbunshoku Haki, he could clearly see the pirate ship ahead.
