Chapter 32: To Kill Or To Heal, That Is The Question.

Miguel Castle is a castle belonging to the cadres of the Donquixote Family on Cervantes.

Only members of the Donquixote Family can enter this castle, which is the ruling center of Cervantes.

Doflamingo lives here.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of money back then, and when the castle was built, it was built with high ceilings, so Hajrudin was able to get in comfortably.

Giolla, the artistic aunt from the Donquixote Family, is the designer of this castle. Although she usually makes her art absurd, she is much more reliable when it comes matters that Doflamingo personally commands.

Therefore, the design of the castle is very good. Even when Giolla was designing the castle, she considered that the young master might have giants as subordinates in the future, so in the castle, several sets of giant rooms were specially designed. 

Not only that, but there are also rooms for small people, and there is also an underground river connected to the island, which can directly reach the murlocs in the bay....how should I put it, Giolla may not be good at fighting, but she is still a talent when it comes to things like this.

The work she is in charge of now is the smuggling business of art goods in the dark world of Donquixote Family.

Don't underestimate this. Giolla's annual turnover is among the best in the Donquixote Family. One can hardly imagine how profitable this art product smuggling is. After all, the buyers are all wealthy merchants and aristocrats, and the profits are really big!

Not long after entering the castle, Doflamingo met Senor and Lao G in the corridor.

Senor is in his twenties, young and handsome, in a black suit, very elegant. As for Lao G, he is forty-eight this year. Although he is not young, he is not as old as in Dressrosa later.

On the contrary, he looked like a strong middle-aged man.

After seeing Doflamingo, the two stopped and greeted him.

"My lord." Lao G called out.

"Doffy." Senor smiled.

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I really miss you, Senor, Lao." Doflamingo also chatted with them with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, Doflamingo said: "Senor, has the family gained any new Devil Fruits in the past half a year? This is Hajrudin, a warrior from Elbaf. He swore allegiance to me, and he will be a member of our Donquixote Family from now on. You have to get along well."

Hajrudin greeted them warmly and chatted about Devil Fruits.

Doflamingo said to Lao G: "Speaking of it, Lao, you told me before that your boxing technique can store vitality, and then explode when needed, so as to achieve an overall increase in physical fitness and use it to cope with powerful enemies that cannot normally be defeated?"

Doflamingo directly referred to Lao G as Lao, which is much more convenient.

Lao G nodded immediately after hearing this, and then said: "But my lord, I am practicing a martial arts called Jio-ken, in essence, it is not boxing as the core, but a kind of qigong technique. It is based off an energy called Qi."

(T/N: This isn't chinese bs, it's actually called qigong in canon lol)

Lao G, in the entire Donquixote Family, is the only one who is solely dedicated to martial arts, and it can be said that his strength is enough to be on the front line.

When he was in Dressrosa, he defeated the pillar of the Happo Navy, the big pirate Chinjao with a bounty of 500 million Beli, from the front, almost relatively easily.

Don't say that Chinjao is old and his strength is not at the peak, Lao G was also not young at that time!

As for his defeat at the hands of Sai later, Sai was young and at the peak of his prowess, is that even a fair fight?

Qigong is also a school of practice, and it is classified as "fighting skills". Speaking of it, although it is rare, it is not a particularly unusual thing compared to the stuff you see in the New World.

Judging from Doflamingo's knowledge, if he is not mistaken, the 'Dragon Claw Fist' that Dragon created himself is essentially a kind of qigong technique.

"I see..." Doflamingo nodded slightly and agreed.

Then Lao G continued: "As for the technique of storing vitality that you mentioned just now, my lord, it is true. In our Jio-ken, there is a technique that can be regarded as a top-level secret technique among fighting skills in the world." , that is Jio-ken Profound Technique 'Baoquan', the core of this is to preserve one's surging vitality when you are young, and when you get older, or when you encounter some invincible and powerful enemy , just by exploding the qi, and forcibly infusing the vitality contained in the qi into your body, you can achieve a comprehensive transcendence of physical fitness!"

After a short pause, Lao G continued: "Naval Headquarters has a body technique called Rokushiki. As far as I know, when someone is fully proficient in six styles of Rokushiki, they can carry out a comprehensive manipulation of the body, so as to master a technique called "Life Return".....young master, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it." Doflamingo nodded immediately.

Marine Six Styles, one of the "foundation" of the world's government, is an extremely comprehensive physical training method that has been continuously summarized by the masters of the world's government.

The power of this set of physical skills lies in the fact that the foundation is very solid. If you can learn all the six forms of practice and use them proficiently, it basically means that your physical fitness has reached its peak, breaking through the normal human body limit.

At the same time, you can control your body meticulously. It is difficult for ordinary people to control their hair, but you can, and you can mobilize the vitality in your body to form the technique of "Life Return".

Once you master life return, it means that you have 100% control over your body. In the future, no matter what other fighting skills, or sword skills, qigong skills, etc. you learn, you can quickly master them to the grandmaster level.

Therefore, both Marine and CP organizations regard the Six Forms as their basic skills. No matter whether you want to take the route of Devil Fruit power, the Haki route, or the sword master route, you must learn the Six Styles first!

It is the basic skill of basic skills!

Seeing that Doflamingo had heard about it, Lao G didn't describe anything more but said: "According to Jio-ken records, Life Return, a technique for comprehensively controlling vitality and body, actually borrowed inspiration from our set of martial arts. If we only talk about this manipulating vitality, there is no doubt that Jio-ken is stronger!"

Doflamingo nodded his head in approval.

From the point of view of expressing vitality alone, Jio-ken is indeed stronger than the Six Forms in controlling, using, and exploding vitality.

After all, the purpose of creating the Six Forms, in the final analysis, is to lay the basic skills.

There are more profound advanced skills, such as Moonwalk, that you can unlock on your own later, but that's about it.

So after Lao G finished speaking, Doflamingo asked directly: "Lao, I want to learn this technique that can explode the vitality in my body, so as to comprehensively enhance my physical fitness and achieve a skill beyond the normal, is it okay? "

Lao G froze for a moment, then nodded without hesitation and said, "My lord, whatever you want to learn from me, I will be more than happy to teach you!"

Doflamingo, on his way back from West Blue, was thinking about his ability to absorb and store a lot of life force.

This vitality or life force is stored under the effect of his fruit ability to maintain his "immortality", ensuring that he can quickly recover after being severely injured.

But Doflamingo thinks, can there be other uses for this huge vitality?

Then, Lao G, the cadre of his own family, came to his mind.

Wouldn't it be great if he could transform the huge life force he had stored into a power that could enhance his own quality by leaps and bounds, and achieve surpassing combat effectiveness when needed?

As the saying goes, offense is the best defense. Instead of saving your vitality for healing, it is better to explode your vitality and use it to kill the enemy!
