Chapter 135

【Destructo Disc】

【Type: Cultivation Secret Manual】

【Price: 6000 points】

【Description: Krillin's strongest move in the Dragon Ball world. High-speed rotation compresses "Ki" into a disc shape and throws it, possessing powerful and terrifying cutting power】

【Seller's Note: Revived by Shenron again, died more than ten times already, can you not revive me next time, so tired...】

Destructo Disc?

Siano was slightly stunned and couldn't help but show surprise again.

Another good thing!

In his impression, the defense-breaking ability of this move was extremely astonishing. Once released, even opponents far stronger than himself would have to avoid its edge.

If he could master it proficiently...

Even if he didn't improve much in other aspects, when he met ultimate numerical monsters like Akainu and Kaido, he wouldn't be busy for half a day and only cause them a little injury.

Must buy!

Go study it in a while!

【Veritaserum】

【Type: Consumable】

【Price: 500 points】

【Description: A common wizard item in the Hogwarts world. After the user drinks it, they will have a strong desire to confide within one day, and everything they say will be the truth】

【Total of one bottle, can be divided into five portions, used five times】

【Seller's Note: Used it on Dumbledore, he said he liked me, what should I do, what should I do!】

Siano pondered slightly.

A small item that is a bit interesting, and the price is not expensive.

It only costs 500 points; one of Jack's tusks could buy three. For him now, it's just a drop in the bucket.

This kind of thing might come in handy someday in the future.

So without much hesitation, he added it to the shopping cart.

Next, he flipped to the last page, and there was nothing that could arouse Siano's interest.

If it's not there, it's not there. The harvest this time was already rich enough. Not to mention the Veritaserum, just the Destructo Disc and the Flesh Melting Furnace Method being collected made Siano feel satisfied.

Close the market page and enter the checkout session.

Original points 44500.

Purchased three items this time, totaling 10300, remaining points 34200.

It's still quite ample, unlike the last time when he became a pauper on the spot after buying.

After finishing his second favorite shopping session.

Siano didn't delay, immediately grabbed the katana placed on the side, and rushed to the training room, preparing to start his favorite training session.

His katana "Masamune" was found for him by Kuina.

This thing was thrown by Blueno at the top of the giant fountain in Water 7. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to find it even if they turned the whole Water 7 upside down.

Kuina had also searched everywhere for a long time, and finally, when passing by the large fountain, she suddenly felt inspired and looked up.

She really found it in the fountain pool.

This, perhaps, is the connection between a swordsman and a famous sword.

While sighing with emotion, Siano was also very grateful to Kuina, and laughed out loud on the spot, picking up the girl swordsman and spinning her around several times.

For him, this sword was certainly just a decoration, and at most, it could sometimes serve to confuse the enemy.

But after all, it had accompanied him for so many years, so he still had feelings for it.

Before heading to the training room, Siano first went to the girls' room and called Nojiko.

The reason he called his sister was, first, he needed to use the ability of the Snow-Snow Fruit to reinforce the venue, and second, he wanted to use her fist technique to practice the final chapter of the "Flesh Melting Furnace Method."

The Flesh Melting Furnace Method is like this.

When practicing, one must rely on external force, supplementing what one eats.

To practice "Copper Head," you have to hit your head; to practice "Iron Bone," you have to smash your bones...

And to practice this final "Core Chapter."

Siano had to first cut open the skin of his chest, expose the organs and blood vessels inside, and then let Nojiko use all her strength to specifically attack his internal organs...

Will it hurt?

Of course it will hurt; his internal organs are far less sturdy than his outer body.

But in order to fully master this secret manual, he had no choice but to do so. It was just self-abuse for a period of time; Siano was long used to it.

Arriving in front of his exclusive training room.

Just as he was about to push the door and enter, he heard a constant dull thumping sound from the training room next door.

Releasing his Observation Haki slightly to sense it, it was Jack.

"Eh, up earlier than me?"

Siano was a bit strange. When he came to breakfast in the restaurant just now, he was the first one to arrive and didn't see this kid at all.

"Guessed wrong, brother, not up early, Jack hasn't slept all night." Nojiko shook her head.

"Hasn't slept all night?" Siano turned his head in surprise and looked at her.

"Yeah."

Nojiko spread her hands, "Ever since he initially mastered Life Return a few days ago and could compress his body size to about five meters, he has been in this state almost the whole time, only sleeping four or five hours a day, and spending all the rest of his time in the training room."

"So desperate?"

Siano frowned slightly, thought for a moment, let go of his hand on the door, and turned to walk toward the training room next door.

Pushing the door open, what came into view was Jack's burly body, punching wildly at a specially made super-sized steel sandbag.

Sweat fell like rain, his fists were already bright red, and even bloodstains were faintly seeping out.

But Jack seemed not to feel the pain at all, still smashing the sandbag with one punch after another, his eyes full of stubbornness and a ruthless spirit of not admitting defeat.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull impact sound echoed in the training room, the sandbag swayed constantly under the immense force, and many cracks and dents had appeared on the surface.

Whoosh!

After finishing a set of punches, Jack supported his knees with both hands, panting heavily, still immersed in his own world, not even noticing Siano's arrival.

Until Siano spoke softly: "Hey, Jack."

"Boss?!"

Jack was startled, turned his head abruptly, and after seeing Siano and Nojiko, immediately stopped his movements, wiping the sweat off his face somewhat awkwardly.

"You... why are you here?"

"Just passing by, heard the noise and came in to take a look."

Siano walked into the training room and casually threw a large pot of orange soda that Nojiko had just helped get from the restaurant.

"Take a break, drink some, don't get dehydrated and go into shock."

"Thank you, Boss!"

Jack only then realized that he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

He hurriedly took the water pot. Originally, he only wanted to tilt his head back and take a gulp, but as soon as the sweet and icy orange soda entered his mouth, the dryness in his throat was instantly smoothed away, and his whole person seemed to come back to life.

"Gulp, gulp—"

Until the water pot hit the bottom, Jack stopped, still wanting more, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and let out a long breath.

"So thirsty, didn't even know to drink water, too focused, right?"

Siano said with a smile, "Why, provoked?"

As expected of Boss Siano, did he see it at once?

Jack lowered his head somewhat shamefully and said in a muffled voice: "Yeah, Boss, I... I'm really too weak, I can't help at all."

"That night in Water 7, I couldn't even take that punch Kaido threw casually. If you hadn't taken action in time, I guess I would have had to lie in bed for many days before recovering..."

"Also, back in my hometown, that Aokiji, also took me down in one move..."

He became more and more depressed as he spoke, his whole person looking like he had been passed through by Perona's ghost, wilted, "I, I'm really useless, Boss."

You...

Are you setting the bar too high for yourself?

Siano couldn't laugh or cry.

Feeling weak, but look at who the opponent is. Kaido, Aokiji... which one isn't a powerhouse standing at the peak of the world.

A young man who hasn't been out to sea for long, and still dares to rush up against these two—I'm afraid only you, this silly guy, would do that.

Of course.

Reckless is reckless.

This loyal heart is still worth praising.

"I can understand that you want to become stronger, but cultivation is never a matter of one day or one night. Pay attention to your rest and body in the future, don't be so impatient."

"And don't always dwell on things from before. Those two old guys are exceptions. How old are you? Why compare yourself to them when you have nothing to do? Mental exhaustion is the most terrifying thing."

Siano encouraged and comforted him for a while, and after Jack showed a thoughtful expression, he smiled and patted his arm:

"Believe in your own talent. Look at yourself, Life Return has already achieved small success so quickly; it would make outsiders envious if they heard it. What about Haki? How is your cultivation going?"

"Observation Haki has no signs yet."

Jack scratched his head and reported his progress honestly, "But Armament Haki already has some feeling, Boss. Give me a little more time... within half a month, I should be able to initially master it."

"Look, isn't it good to have a plan in your heart and come step by step?"

Siano gave a thumbs up and said seriously, "Don't hide it when you encounter difficulties in cultivation in the future. If there's anything you don't understand, come and ask me. In the future, I will also try my best to set aside two hours every day to accompany you in training, so you can master two-color Haki as soon as possible."

"You, you personally guide me? And two hours a day?!"

Jack raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

"Why, unwilling?" Siano smiled lightly.

"No! Of course willing!"

Jack waved his hands hurriedly, his voice trembling with excitement, "Thank you, Boss!"

"Don't thank me, I'm really afraid you'll die suddenly here. Go eat breakfast quickly, fill your stomach, and have a good sleep before continuing!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Jack was hit by this set of small combos and felt like he had been injected with chicken blood. His depressed mood was gone, and he excitedly pushed the door open and went toward the kitchen with a thud, thud, thud.

"Brother..."

Nojiko looked at Jack's distant burly figure and leaned in quietly, "Why do I feel like this scene is very familiar."

"You are naturally familiar."

Siano glanced at her sideways, "Back in Cocoyasi Village, every time you couldn't persist in practicing fist techniques and came to complain while crying, wasn't I comforting you like this? I'm best at coaxing little brats."

"So that's it."

Nojiko realized, and soon reacted, blushing and shyly hammering Siano, "What little brat, I was already very sensible at that time, okay? Mocking me again, stinky brother~!"

"I'm talking about Jack."

"That's more like it!"

Nojiko snorted.

Although Jack is an adult, his personality is honest and simple, and in the eyes of the crew, he is indeed about the same as a child whose mind hasn't opened.

"Speaking of which, brother."

Nojiko sighed suddenly and said seriously, "Jack's anxiety and worry, actually not just him, we all have a little bit."

"Oh?"

Siano looked at her.

Nojiko didn't talk nonsense and told her thoughts cleanly like bamboo shoots pouring beans.

Since setting sail, they have been sailing on the Grand Line for three months.

At most, after another two or three islands, the first half of the Grand Line will be coming to an end.

After coating at Sabaody, the Looming Adventure Group will face brand-new challenges—

Entering the New World.

Almost all the crew members of the *Looming* have mastered Haki and are not lacking in Logia ability users. Even without Siano sitting in command, they could walk sideways in this first half.

But the New World is completely different.

The danger level there is not on the same level as Paradise. Not to mention anything else, for pirates active there, mastering two-color Haki is almost standard, not to mention the Four Emperors are all there, and all kinds of monster-level powerhouses are entrenched in it...

"You are too strong, you might not be able to experience our feelings, brother."

Nojiko said softly:

"In that kind of place, if we face a big pirate group, even you, brother, won't be able to overturn the whole field by yourself, right? We also want to contribute in that kind of situation, at least not be crushed by the opponent's cadres and become your burden."

Siano didn't interrupt and listened quietly to the end.

Only then did he reach out and rub Nojiko's hair, smiling:

"Clearly just finished listening to me comfort Jack, and then saying such silly things again. When did you become my burden? If it weren't for my two cutest sisters, I wouldn't have the motivation to walk to this day alone."

He looked at the sea outside the porthole, thought for a moment, and said:

"However, this worry is not unreasonable. The New World is indeed much more dangerous than the first half, so we must make more sufficient preparations."

The so-called preparation...

The improvement of strength is the best preparation.

He needs some time to fully master the "Flesh Melting Furnace Method" and practice the "Destructo Disc."

The crew members who consider themselves the main combat force also want to become stronger.

In this way, the space on the ship is limited, and it is ultimately a bit inconvenient.

The adventure journey must be temporarily suspended; it is time to find a remote island and retreat for a while.

"Seems I really have to thank Uncle..."

Thinking of the battle at Enies Lobby, Siano couldn't help but grin.

If it were the usual situation, the Looming Adventure Group would be heavily focused on and hunted with all their might. In this first half of the Grand Line where the World Government has a high degree of control, it would be difficult to stay on an island for a long time.

But unfortunately, at present, he is mistakenly thought to be dead by the World Government, and even the bounty has been revoked, so there is no need to worry about this point.

————

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly a week since leaving Water 7.

Under Siano's instruction, the *Looming* did not continue to sail along the route.

Instead, it tried its best to lean toward the Calm Belt, staying away from popular routes.

See if they can bump into an island that is big and spacious enough, but also relatively remote, where no ships will come.

It must be said.

Siano's luck has always been quite good.

About three days later, an island that perfectly met the conditions really appeared in his field of vision.

Siano stood at the bow, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the island shrouded in thick fog in the distance.

The area of this island is not small, but it is uninhabited. From far away, you can feel the desolate and dilapidated taste.

Observation Haki swept over roughly, and did not find any aura worth noting.

The *Looming* slowly docked at the edge of this gloomy island.

Fog permeated the surroundings. After stepping on the shore and walking for a while, suddenly, an ancient Gothic castle wrapped in mist came into view.

"Can't see a single person along the way, what a strange place..." Nami rubbed her arms and muttered in a low voice, "That castle looks like it hasn't been lived in for a long time, it feels like a haunted house."

Swish!

A sharp slash suddenly flew from the side, instantly splitting the ground in front of everyone into a deep trench!

Who?

Everyone was startled and subconsciously drew their weapons.

What they didn't expect was that the ones appearing in front of them were not humans, but several large baboons holding swords. They were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, constantly shouting, seemingly holding heavy hostility toward the outsiders.

Eh?

Seeing these somewhat familiar baboons, Siano was stunned. Only then did he realize something.

No way... is it such a coincidence?

Did he run to Hawkeye's lair?
