Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 254

On the calm East Blue, the Going Merry sailed steadily, with a scream resounding across the sky.

Boom…File Clang…File Clang

On the deck, Zoro waved Wado Ichimonji in his hand. Extremely fast- only one after another after another can be seen, ordinary people would have a harder time to see it.

But Lin Tian closed his eyes. With only two fingers, the silhouette moved erratically, but perfectly used his fingers to block the style used by Zoro.

clang!

With a flick of the finger, an immediate powerful force is transmitted to the sword blade and then to Zoro’s arm. Zoro immediately felt that a powerful force. Like sea water, the force continuously rushed toward his arm.

Even if he gritted your teeth to control, but the power exceeded the limit that Zoro can withstand, and his body involuntarily retreated, the sword blade kept trembling, making a buzzing sword cry,

Wipe!

After putting his hand to his back, Wado Ichimonji stopped trembling, and Zoro half-kneeled on the deck. Zoro kept sweating and panting heavily.

“This kind of strength is really too strong. This is the strength of the peak of the powerhouse. It really feels like the feeling when I’m facing Hawk Eyes, a deep sense of powerlessness. Just use two fingers and eyes closed, you can defeat me. This kind of strength is what I expect.”

Eyes opened, Lin Tian said to Zoro in front of him: “How, are you aware of something?”

Standing slowly, Zoro recalled: “It feels like with your eyes closed, you can still check out my movements, and even predict my movements. Also, you obviously don’t use a sword, you only use two fingers, but I still felt like I was fighting against an opponent with a sword.”

Lin Tian lightly nodded, and can appreciate this, Zoro’s innate talent is really strong, in the sword technique, it is no wonder that even the proud guy Hawk Eyes can say that.

“In the battle just now, my styles were indeed sword techniques, but I used two fingers instead. I used a different kind of power for substituting my sword, which you will know later. Let’s talk about your sword technique first.” After a pause, Lin Tian asked, “Zoro, as a swordsman, what do think about the sword in your hand?”

Raising Wado Ichimonji in his hand, Zoro carefully stared at this sword that has a different meaning to him, and said with some uncertainty: “I considered it a sword.”

Lin Tian took out the Chasing Wind and whispered: “You know, what I think with this Chasing Wind in my hand?”

“What?”

“Partner. A partner that I can entrust my life to. As a swordsman, the sword in your hand is your partner who will never betray you. Even if the whole world stands opposite of you, the sword in your hand will still face the whole world with you.”

After a pause, Lin Tian flipped and chased the wind, moved towards the side iron chain was gently cut. Without the slightest force, it was swung gently like this, and with a click, the sharp iron chain was instantly cut in two.

“What? How is it possible?! Even 12 Saijo O Wazamono, it is impossible to cut the steel so easily without any effort…”

Before Zoro’s surprise was over, Lin Tian’s right hand suddenly exert some force, really tried to cut the rope on the side of the Chasing Wind with extreme speed. But even when it was swung at such a fast speed, Chasing Wind didn’t cut the rope.

“This… what the hell is going on, it can cut the steel with no force, but with that speed, it can’t cut the rope…?”

Zoro was shocked, his head was covered with cold sweat, the scene before him completely exceeded Zoro’s understanding as a swordsman. How could such a scene happen?

“Everything has an aura, and the sword also has an aura. For swordsman, the sword is really alive. When you can sense the aura of the sword, you can transfer your will to the sword. Let the sword become a part of your body, act according to your own will, and perfectly control your sword. “

“The aura of the sword…”

Seeing that Zoro himself fell into enlightenment, Lin Tian didn’t say much. As a swordsman, Zoro has a very solid foundation. It is by your own understanding of the sword that you can advance by leaps and bounds.

At this point, Lin Tian was just giving him a lead. Every great swordsman has his own sword. If he wants to surpass Hawk Eyes, Zoro must also feel his own sword.

Sanji’s side.

Sanji was barely standing up, moving his legs with difficulty, every slight movement was a great challenge for Sanji, he had to stop and breathe for a few minutes. In order to continue to take another step.

Seeing Lin Tian coming, Sanji gasped and said: “Lin Tian, what the hell is this? How can it be so heavy? Even just walking is so difficult.”

“Take it, Lin Tian!”

Received it, Nami handed over the drink and took a sip. In such a hot weather, a cold drink is refreshing.

Sanji immediately flashed a red heart, “Nami-san, I am so tired. Give me a cold drink too…”

The greater the hope, the greater the blow. Nami squinted and uttered one word calmly, “No.”

After drinking the iced drink in one sip, the whole person felt refreshed a lot. Lin Tian looked at Sanji said with a slight smile: “Sanji, during the previous special training, didn’t you call yourself the fastest? Why can’t you hold on now?”

Speaking of this, Sanji was furious, “You told me that you want to give me some awesome tricks, but now you want me to do this.”

Gently waved his hand, motioned Sanji not to be so angry, Lin Tian explained: “I am going to tell you a few tricks from Marine Headquarters elites to be qualified to learn leg skills, but your legs are not strong enough to learn.”

Because of this, Lin Tian specially found two weight-bearing rings and placed them on Sanji’s legs to increase the strength and speed on his legs.

In order to give Sanji a little motivation, Lin Tian slowly walked to the side of the boat, turned his head and said: “I’m optimistic about you, Sanji. This is one of the tricks that I will give you.”

Tempest Kick!

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Tian lifted his right foot and kicked forward abruptly. A pale blue shock wave kicked out from the toes, moving towards the sea.

The light blue light wave rushed to the sea in an instant, and the boom sound was sounded. A column of water tens of meters high rose into the sky, the sea water spilled on the deck.

Seeing this, Sanji took a deep breath and spit out the smoke from his mouth. His eyes changed, and he finally became serious.

Now in this group, Zoro, Luffy, Lin Tian all have bounty, even Usopp appeared even if it is only a back of his head, but I still…

Sanji didn’t say anything, but there was still a sense of urgency in his heart, eager to become stronger, and now is an excellent opportunity, it is inevitable to seize it.

“Lin Tian! Everyone, help!”

Outside of the ship, Usopp’s hysterical yelling sounded. From the shouting, it was definitely filled with tears. Sanji trembled even more. Compared with Usopp, he was indeed lucky.

Hearing this shout, Lin Tian walked towards the ship and walked, leaning on the railing, looking at Usopp on the sea.

Usopp was kneeling on a small wooden board, and that wooden board was being tied up by a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to the railing on which Lin Tian stood.

Seeing that Lin Tian finally appeared, Usopp saw a savior, tears came out like running water, crying and shouted: “Lin Tian, you finally appeared, save me quickly! I don’t need this devilish training…”

Pointing his finger, Lin Tian showed a smile on his face, “Hey! Usopp, but you want to become a sea warrior like your father. This is just a little bit difficult.”

Hearing this, Usopp was taken aback, and suddenly a wave came on to his head, and almost lifted Usopp together with the wooden board, and the shocked Usopp’s heart jumped out.

After touching the cold sweat on his head, Usopp suppressed his body not to tremble, brace himself barely and stood up.

He closed his eyes and said: “Great Warrior Usopp- I don’t care! I don’t need this kind of training method! Get me up quickly!”

“Really? Why are you shaking all over? If you ever stop trembling, I’ll pull you up by then.”

Turning around, Lin Tian waved his hand to Usopp on the sea, and walked towards the bow of the ship.

Usopp completely inherited his father’s sniper innate talent, even stronger than his father, but he was too timid and did not realize his innate talent and potential.

So, for Usopp, Lin Tian had only one goal, which was to change his timid character.

On the main mast of the Going Merry, Luffy’s hands spiraled around it. Luffy was underneath, pulling back tightly, trying to make his arms longer.

Looking back to see Lin Tian coming, Luffy asked puzzled: “Lin Tian, why do they all have their own things to do, but I have to do this here?”

Peng… Knocking on Luffy’s head, he explained: “Your Devil Fruit ability gives you the greatest advantage, which is the extension and flexibility of a rubber. And all you have to do is to develop this aspect. Flexibility can give you powerful strength and speed, and the scalability makes your attack methods and the battle methods more flexible.”

However, with Luffy’s simple brain, that explanation was very difficult to understand. He immediately turned to other directions and asked curiously: “Hey, Lin Tian, where are we going next!”

“I also I don’t know.” pointing to Nami who was looking at the map next to him, “It depends on our navigator.”

Opening the map, pointing to a small town on the Grand Line and saying, “Here, before entering the Grand Line, there is only one place that can be supplied, Loguetown.”

TL note: Loguetown is a city on the Polestar Islands (Porusutā Shotō) in East Blue, covering nearly the entire island it is on, save for a few steep hills. The town is also known as “The town of the beginning and the end”, because the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger was born and executed here.

Looking at the small dot on the map, Luffy asked puzzled: “Loguetown, is its specialty a meat?”

“No, Loguetown is called the beginning and the end. That is where the legendary Pirate King Roger made a sound and when he last breathes.” Lin Tian said solemnly. Looking back towards Luffy with a smile, he asked: “What do you think, Luffy?”

“Well, I want to go and see, the man who got the one piece, the man who got everything in the world, the place where he made a sound and died.”
