Chapter 4 Marine Six Styles
Just as Kai had collected the treasure and was about to head out, several massive explosions erupted.
The ship started to tilt and rock.
"Huh?"
Kai opened the hatch and emerged onto the deck. He saw several Marine warships parked at a distance, continuously firing at them.
"Coby, didn't you say you wanted to join the Marines?"
"Get over there now!"
Luffy's voice rang out.
"Are you kidding? Don't even talk about joining the Marines right now."
"You'll definitely end up in jail later!"
Coby's frustrated voice came through.
How could he, a pirate, declare he wanted to join the Marines? It wouldn't help his cause at all!
"Hahaha... In that case, let's escape first!"
"I'm a pirate!"
"Kai , let's go!"
Luffy laughed.
"Understood, Captain!"
A smile spread across Kai's face.
Not to mention, the thrill of escaping right under the Marines' noses was exhilarating!
Luffy tossed a small boat overboard and jumped in himself.
As Kai was about to follow, he noticed Coby trembling next to him, looking down nervously.
"What's the matter?"
"I... I'm scared. It's too high!"
...
Kai sighed, seeing Coby's state.
This early version of Coby was really something...
So, Kai grabbed Coby by the collar with one hand and grinned wickedly.
"It's alright, I'll help you overcome your fear!"
Then Kai leaped off the ship with Coby in tow.
"Ah~~"
...
After a while~
Kai and the others had finally escaped from the Marine's pursuit, sitting contentedly on the small boat.
"Mr. Luffy, what's our next move?"
"Next!"
"Hmmm~"
"I'm going to find some great new crew members. I need a chef and a navigator."
"The most important thing is…"
"A musician!"
"How can we have a party without a musician?"
At this point, Luffy's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"By the way, let's go find that powerful pirate hunter you mentioned first!"
"If he's really powerful, then I'll have him join my crew!"
...
A day later...
Kai watched the Marine town loom in the distance.
He nudged Luffy, who was sleeping soundly.
"Hey, Luffy!"
"Wake up, we're almost there!"
"Huh? What's up, Kai ? Is dinner ready?"
...
Can Luffy think about anything other than food?
But speaking of food, Kai was a bit hungry too!
"We'll eat meat when we get to town!"
"Meat!"
(☆▽☆)!
"Alright, alright!"
Luffy drooled a bit as he spoke.
Kai took a step back, looking at Luffy with a mix of disgust and amusement.
"Gross!"
After a while, Kai and Luffy finally set foot on the island.
As soon as Kai landed, the familiar system voice echoed in his mind:
[Successfully checked into Shields Town Island and obtained Marine Six Styles (Master level)]
In an instant, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
Within moments, he mastered the six Marine styles.
Kai was ecstatic.
Though the Marine Six Styles may be less effective later on, they were incredibly strong in the early stages!
And it was just a matter of technique.
The more proficient you are, the more powerful techniques you can develop.
Such as Life Return, Six Kings Gun, and more!
Its power is tied to the user's strength.
Even a powerhouse like Garp could use the Six Styles effectively.
So it's not that the Six Styles are weak, but that the user may be.
Now that Kai had the highest-level Six Styles, he was at the peak of understanding them.
He even knew advanced skills like Life Return and Six Kings Spear.
Kai was thrilled to have mastered the Six Styles now.
His fruit gave him an incredibly strong physique, but his offensive methods were lacking.
Now that he had the Six Styles, it filled that gap perfectly.
He was terrifyingly strong now!
But there was no one around to test his strength.
Morgan?
No, no, no!
He feared Morgan might not survive a punch from him.
Suddenly, Kai thought of something, a smile appearing on his lips.
"If it's him… it should be alright!"
...
"Hiccup~"
"Whew, so full!"
Kai and the others said in unison, patting their full bellies.
"Kai , where did you get so many berries?"
"Of course, they came from Alvida's ship," Kai said casually while sipping a drink.
"Huh? I didn't see you carrying any."
Kai rolled his eyes.
"I used my abilities to create a space and stored all the treasures from the ship in it!"
"(⊙o⊙)..."
"Wow, Kai , you're amazing!"
"Are you also a Devil Fruit user?"
"Why haven't I heard you mention that before?"
"You didn't even ask!"
...
After eating and drinking, they moved on to their business.
Destination——Marine base!
Soon, they arrived in front of the Marine base.
"Finally, can you join the Marines?"
Coby asked tearfully.
Then he said passionately:
"Mr. Kai , Mr. Luffy, it's time to say goodbye!"
"Even though it's been a short time, but…"
"Stop!"
Kai interrupted Coby.
He looked at Coby with a half-smile and said:
"Don't get too excited now. You might feel differently later!"
This was Morgan's Marine base, and the Marines inside were no longer upholding justice.
They had become completely corrupt.
And Coby had a righteous heart.
What would he think of this situation?
Just as Kai was contemplating, a sound of falling to the ground was heard.
Luffy had disappeared from his spot and jumped onto the execution platform.
You... are quick!
Without much thought, Kai jumped down after him.
Leaving Coby standing alone and confused in the wind.
Upon entering, Kai saw Luffy talking to a man wearing a black turban, tied to a post.
"Roronoa Zoro! I finally found you!"
Kai murmured with a slight smile.
He then walked over slowly.
"Hey, you! Join my crew!"
"Come be a pirate with us!"
"No! I don't want to join evil forces!" Zoro said with a scowl.
"But now you're considered a bounty hunter, right?"
"Alright, never mind!"
"Anyway, I've decided to make you my partner."
"I heard you're a swordsman, right?"
"Where's your sword?"
"Taken away by the colonel's idiot son!"
"Oh~"
Luffy clapped his hands upon hearing this.
"Then I'll help you get your sword back, and you can join my crew! Otherwise, I won't give it to you!"
"You !" Zoro's teeth started to grind.
What a guy, daring to threaten him!
"Alright, I'm going!"
With that, Luffy dashed toward the base.
Kai slowly walked up to Zoro.
