"The captain has been asleep for three days and still hasn't woken up. It's so boring!" Bucky leaned against the ship's railing and said listlessly to Shanks beside him.
Three days had passed since the battle at God Valley.
They had stayed on this small island for two days. However, since Roger hadn't regained consciousness, the crew members were still on the ship. The crew members only occasionally went ashore during the day to purchase some supplies.
Of course, as interns, Fang Yi and his two companions weren't qualified to disembark. Even the arrows (Note: the original Chinese text had a character error, it should be "箭矢" instead of "箭失") Fang Yi needed were bought by Yamon on his behalf.
After Bucky handed over the treasures he had obtained (Note: the original Chinese text was "活的财宝", which should be "获得的财宝") to Rayleigh, he indeed received praise from the others. However, they didn't know that Bucky had kept a portion for himself.
It was a pity that even when they encountered an island, Bucky couldn't go ashore to exchange the gold for Berries, which was why he looked so listless.
However, the crew members who went ashore brought back big news. The Navy had announced the downfall of the Rocks Pirates. Although the newspapers didn't mention the existence of the Roger Pirates, Roger's bounty had increased a bit and was approaching the terrifying amount of one billion Berries.
The sea at this time wasn't like in the future. There were very few pirates with a bounty over one billion. As far as Fang Yi knew, Rocks was the only one.
"Bucky, do you think Brother Yi has become stronger than before?" Looking at Fang Yi sitting on the deck making arrows, Shanks turned his head and whispered to Bucky.
Bucky rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I can feel his progress considering the big gap between us?"
Shanks smiled and said, "So... you have to work hard too! Don't just think about treasures every day. You need to practice!"
"I don't want to! My dream is just to dig for treasures!" Bucky refused without hesitation.
"But if you don't have enough strength... it'll be very difficult to even go digging for treasures! Bucky!" Fang Yi appeared beside Bucky at some point and said with a smile.
"Brother Yi!" Seeing Fang Yi coming, Shanks quickly greeted him.
Fang Yi smiled and nodded at Shanks, then patted Bucky, who didn't seem to care, and said, "Come here. Let's have a spar today. If I can feel your progress... I'll give you a good thing!"
"What thing?" Hearing that Fang Yi planned to give him something, Bucky immediately perked up. As everyone knew, Fang Yi was like a magic treasure chest, and the things he took out never disappointed.
Fang Yi smiled and took out a special kind of bait, saying, "This is my specially - made bait! Maybe you can catch something really valuable with it!"
"Alright~ Since that's the case, then I'll have to show you the new Special Move I came up with!" Bucky said, his face beaming with joy.
Bucky had long been drooling over Fang Yi's magic bait. However, the quantity was quite limited, so Fang Yi naturally couldn't just give it to Bucky casually.
"Oh? Really?"
Let me see what interesting moves you've come up with!" Hearing this, Fang Yi put his bow and arrow aside, took out two daggers, held them in his hands, and said with a smile.
"Wahaha... Now, let you witness the new move of the great pirate, Captain Bucky! Take this!" Saying that, Bucky directly threw the long sword in his hand at Fang Yi.
However, Fang Yi just leaned slightly to the side and easily dodged Bucky's attack.
"Is this really your so - called new move?" Fang Yi asked somewhat puzzledly.
"Don't be too complacent. Take this move!" Immediately afterwards, Bucky made a pulling - back motion, but the long sword didn't come back as he expected.
"Eh? What's going on?" Bucky looked at the broken thin thread in his hand, extremely puzzled.
"Your so - called new move... isn't it just tying a weapon with a string, throwing it, and then pulling it back?" Fang Yi said with a black - faced expression.
"Wahaha... That... That's impossible! I was just joking just now!" Bucky laughed rather awkwardly. Both Fang Yi and Shanks could tell that his new move was definitely like that.
Thanks to his Hawk - Eye skill, Fang Yi spotted the thin thread the moment Bucky made his move and cut it without a trace while dodging, causing Bucky's move to fail.
However, this move was not completely ineffective. Sasuke in Naruto used the same technique, but his was much more practical than Bucky's. He didn't blatantly throw out the weapon and then roughly pull it back like Bucky did.
As Fang Yi and Shanks had guessed, Bucky, having no new moves, soon lost the fight and lay on one side, groaning and not saying much.
"Shanks, how about a fight?" Fang Yi shouted to Shanks with a smile.
"Sure!" Without hesitation, Shanks nodded and took Bucky's place.
The fight between them was a real fight. It was much more exciting than the one - sided drubbing between Fang Yi and Bucky, and it also attracted many crew members to watch.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Are young people these days so scary? These two guys have made such rapid progress, right?" The lookout, Golan, scratched his head and sighed while watching the fight between the two.
"Fang Yi hasn't even used his full strength yet! You know how powerful that guy's bow and arrow skills are now. If you're not careful, you'll be successfully attacked by his sneak attack! And that guy has some really strange tricks. Sometimes, even if you dodge or block his arrow, you still feel like you've been hit!" Mire Pine beside him said rather helplessly.
As a fighter, Mire Pine's words were undoubtedly an affirmation of Fang Yi.
During the fight on the field, Fang Yi twirled the daggers in his hands, tapped his feet several times, and then softly shouted, "Shave!"
"Huh?" Seeing Fang Yi disappear from sight, Shanks was stunned for a moment. Then he felt a dagger reach from his back to under his neck.
"Brother Yi... How did you suddenly disappear?" Shanks put down the long sword in his hand and asked puzzledly.
"I didn't disappear!
Fang Yi smiled slightly and said,
His main purpose of sparring with Shanks was to test a new move. He had just mastered this move: Shave.
Since he got Shave, Fang Yi has been secretly practicing for several days. It was not until today that he could fully master it. This was also the result of consuming the Body Inheritance. Without the help of the Body Inheritance, it would have been impossible for him to master Shave so quickly.
Because the Six Styles of the Navy are moves that require a strong physique as a foundation to master.
"So how did you do that just now?" Shanks still asked curiously.
Facing Shanks' questioning, Fang Yi didn't hold back. Instead, he generously told Shanks how to use Shave.
However, even with Fang Yi's teachings, Shanks couldn't master it in a short time. His body was still in the growth stage, and his physique wasn't strong enough.
"Little Yi... Where did you learn this move?" After Fang Yi taught Shanks, Jabba waved to Fang Yi and asked.
"I saw a Navy soldier use it at God Valley. I thought it was pretty cool, so I've been figuring it out on my own these days!" Fang Yi replied with a smile.
Jabba nodded and said, "This move is called Shave. It's one of the Six Styles of the Navy. Besides this move, there are five other techniques. However, I don't know how to use them. You can ask Rayleigh about this. He might know! Originally, according to my estimation, with your current physique, you shouldn't be able to master the Six Styles of the Navy yet because these moves require a lot of physical strength. I didn't expect you to figure it out on your own!"
Fang Yi scratched the back of his head shyly. Based on his previous performance, he really wasn't strong enough to use the Six Styles of the Navy. But who said he had a cheat code?
Following Jabba's advice, Fang Yi found Rayleigh. After using Shave, he found that Rayleigh indeed had some knowledge about the Six Styles of the Navy. According to Rayleigh, there was no major problem with Fang Yi's way of using Shave, and he just needed to practice more. Moreover, Rayleigh also taught him another ability: Moonwalk.
And Moonwalk is an advanced version of Shave. After Rayleigh's detailed guidance, Fang Yi initially mastered how to use it. However, different from the direct teaching of the system, Fang Yi's learning ability and understanding at this time were very real.
So even with Rayleigh's careful teaching, it still took Fang Yi a long time to initially master it. This even made Rayleigh wonder if Fang Yi wasn't suitable for Moonwalk.
For a genius who could master Shave just by watching others, it took too long to learn Moonwalk.
Regarding this, Rayleigh could only assume that Fang Yi's current physique hadn't reached the level required to learn Moonwalk. Otherwise, it was completely unexplainable why Fang Yi spent so much time just to initially master the usage skills of Moonwalk.
One day later, Roger finally woke up from his sleep. The first thing he did after waking up was to eat a lot, especially meat. This was exactly the same as Luffy, the rubber - man who would inherit Roger's will in the future.
The captain's regaining consciousness brought new life to the Roger Pirates. That night, all the crew members, along with Wangzai, went ashore to a tavern on the island for a wild night out. This also provided Bucky with enough time to turn his collectibles into berries.
Early the next morning, Fang Yi was woken up by Wangzai licking him.
"Damn! Can't you wake me up in a different way? You gotta do it this way?" Fang Yi looked at Wangzai sticking out his tongue in disbelief. This guy was now the pet of the whole crew. Fang Yi couldn't beat or scold him. It was like he had to be worshiped as an ancestor.
The key was that this guy was really smart. If you bullied him, he would immediately go and complain to Yamon.
Although Yamon was a jungle warrior, women had almost zero resistance to cute little animals like Wangzai, even if that woman was a jungle warrior. So this guy was almost becoming a tyrant on the ship.
"Woof! Woof!" Wangzai barked twice in one direction. Only then did Fang Yi notice that there was a naval warship parked next to their pirate ship.
After a big feast at the tavern on the island last night, the crew members who returned to the ship were still not satisfied and held another party on the deck, which didn't end until almost dawn. At this moment, they were all snoring away, completely unaware that a warship had arrived next to their ship.
