Sparring

Behind Lucci was the square-shaped long-nosed Kaku. When he thought of the giraffe fruit that this buddy ate later, he wanted to laugh. It was really a very amusing fruit.

After that, a few Vlad did not even remember their names. They did not seem to have any impression at all.

Vlad's eyes were a little strange, he didn't expect that he deliberately went to this gourmet island to meet these CP9 punks, is it really fate? He really didn't expect that these guys from the Galley-La Shipyard would come here for dinner today, which is really a very surprising thing.

Vlad did not stop. These guys were all going to die. He did not even have the thought of fixing them. He strode out of the restaurant with his long legs.

The door of the restaurant was not narrow, and Vlad easily brushed past the people from the Galley-La Shipyard and the three mice from the CP9 without any abnormalities.

"Hey, look, look, who is this? Isn't this Mr. Iceburg who we haven't seen for a long time?"

Vlad could hear the fat chef's exaggerated voice from far away.

"Hahahaha, Boss Harry, long time no see!"

The voice of the boss of the company sounded very enthusiastic.

"Well, wait, it seems that the cultivation of the maid has encountered a bottleneck, then, maybe...?"

"Wahahahaha! Interesting, really interesting!"

Vlad seemed to have remembered something. He laughed and turned to walk toward the next restaurant. This afternoon, his task was still very heavy! If there was anything, he should wait until the final investigation ended.

---------------

The sky gradually darkened, and the rocks were exposed in the wilderness.

"Ha!"

The woman's voice was a little low. Her right hand turned into a huge long saber, which was gradually wrapped in a layer of pitch-black domineering aura. She directly slashed at a huge rock.

"Pu!"

There was a dull sound, and the huge rock instantly shattered. The smooth cut immediately appeared on the boulder. This woman had split this huge rock with a single strike. For ordinary people, this was an extremely shocking matter, but for the heroes of the sea, this was just an evaluation.

"Damn it!"

The maid's voice was somewhat unwilling. She was training her Busoshoku. She had originally planned to harden her long blade and then chop it up.

However, his Busoshoku Haki was still a bit lacking. Although it was barely able to achieve Busoshoku Hardening, but before it could attack, the dark Busoshoku suddenly dissipated. Although it still split the boulder, in fact, it was only pure brute force and sharp blade.

"'Baby-5, there is no need to focus on developing Haki!"

The chef sitting on the side said. Although it was only butter, the hardness was not a joke. In order to carve this butter, the chef had even wrapped a faint Haki aura around the kitchen knife. Although it was not hardened, it already proved that this large piece of butter was extraordinary.

"The development of Haki is not so simple, especially the practice of Busoshoku Haki. It requires constant fighting and constant confrontation of life and death. You can't train like this!"

The chef said. He was actually an experienced person. He had a lot of insight into the practice of Haki. Indeed, it was impossible to reach a very high level with only his own hard work.

In the original world, even a genius like Luffy could only gradually master the Busoshoku Haki in the battle of the baboon. The maid who was not talented wanted to strengthen her own Busoshoku Haki by relying on her own hard work.

"I think what you should train most now is not your ability?"

The chef did not raise his head, his hands kept moving and said, "Didn't the captain give you the blueprint? How about it? Can it change?"

The maid stood up straight and turned to look at the chef with a very unfriendly gaze. Naturally, her tone was not very polite. "Hey, Chef, the captain asked you to accompany me in my cultivation. He didn't ask you to carve flowers there!"

"There's nothing I can do. If I don't move forward on the path of cooking, I can only move back."

The chef was very serious. "I don't want the captain to be dissatisfied with me!"

"Tsk, bullshit!"

The maid said.

"Hey, little ones, did you miss your captain?"

A tall figure walked over from afar with a bright smile on his face.

"Oh, look, look, who is this?"

"Isn't this our great captain?" "What? Is this afternoon's dessert research over?" The maid asked in a strange tone.

"Hahahaha!"

Vlad scratched his head awkwardly, speechless at the maid's squeezing.

"How is it? How's the training going?"

This was the first time Vlad had come to this island to ask about the maid's cultivation progress. "It's almost time. I think Franky should have already repaired the ship!"

"Hardening, it's really hard!"

The maid sighed.

"I already said that it is very difficult to grasp without going through a high-intensity battle."

The chef waved his hand, and the hard butter melted into his right hand like a swallow returning to its nest. Even the ingredients made by his own ability this man did not want to waste. He was really a thrifty man.

"Yes, Chef is right,"

Vlad crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, "If you want to build a car behind closed doors, you have to be strong. Maid, aren't you thinking too much!"

""... "

The maid did not speak.

"How is the fruit ability?"

Vlad said excitedly, "Can that thing change?"

"Yes, yes."

The maid said softly, "It's just that I can't keep up with my physical strength. Just transforming into an appearance is already exhausting my physical strength. Let alone using it for real combat, I can't even maintain my form."

"Wahahahaha!"

"Is that so? That's great!"

Vlad was not depressed in the slightest. "It seems that our development plan is correct. It seems that we don't have to build a boat on purpose. Maid, you are completely enough!" 

"It's okay!"

In the face of Vlad's blunt praise, the maid was a little shy.

"Just in time. Let's call it hot iron and raise your Haki level to a higher level!"

Vlad said.

"What?"

The maid looked a little surprised. "Captain, didn't you say that it would be difficult to master Haki without intense battles?"

"Yes,"

Vlad nodded. "That's why I specially went to find a few sparring partners for you after I finished my research today!"

"Sparring partners?"

"Oh? They're here!"

Vlad turned around and looked at the three figures that were rapidly approaching.

"You guy, who are you?"

The visitor asked, "What do you know?"

His voice was as cold as ice.
