Enhancement

On a deserted island, Xia Qiu's six strong legs bent slightly, then burst forth with powerful force, rushing towards the man in front of him.

"So fast."

Seeing Xia Qiu's actions, Heckle bent his knees and leaped upwards, flying directly into the sky.

But halfway through the flight, Xia Qiu suddenly leaped upwards, raising its two forelimbs, tilting its neck back, and slamming its head upwards.

"Not good."

Upon seeing this, Heckle suddenly bulged his arms, but instead of throwing a punch, he slapped them forward.

Bang.

With a loud bang, Heckle's hand slammed onto Xia Qiu's head.

The force was so great that Heckle's arm couldn't withstand it, but he only slowly bent before flying backward.

boom.

Xia Qiu's forebody suddenly slammed to the ground, but his six legs moved, charging towards Heckle and opening his mouth to bite.

Seeing this, Heckle plummeted from mid-air, landing with a light tap of his feet.

Swoosh.

He dodged to the side, and Xia Qiu's bite missed completely.

After dodging, Heckle stomped his right foot on the ground, turned around, and punched Xia Qiu in the neck.

"Good timing."

But the next moment, Xia Qiu raised his front leg and kicked directly at Heckle.

"Good timing."

Heckle twisted his body, turned around, and threw a punch that collided with the giant claw.

boom.

After a loud bang, Heckle felt a tremendous force and was sent flying backward. He tried to lighten his weight to absorb the force and escape into the wind. However, he sensed the Giant Beast beside him and suddenly gained weight, landing directly on the ground. His blood surged violently as his feet sank into the earth, but he didn't have time to calm down. He immediately tried to lighten his weight and leaped to the side, landing somewhat unsteadily.

While still in place, Xia Qiu slowly moved her front leg. The point of impact was a little painful, but her leg was fine.

Xia Qiu looked at Heckle in the distance, then slowly turned around to face him directly.

However, Heckle paced back and forth, always avoiding a direct confrontation with Xia Qiu, hoping to launch an attack from the side.

boom.

Xia Qiu charged forward again, attacking Heckle. This time, Heckle dodged in advance, leaping to the side and instantly jumping seven or eight meters.

Xia Qiu immediately stopped, turned around, and bit directly at Heckle.

But Heckle leaped up again, flying towards his back.

The timing is excellent.

If he jumps up directly like he did the first time, I can launch a second attack.

But now, Xia Qiu's head had just bent over, making it impossible for him to leap up and attack. Heckle appeared on Xia Qiu's back, and Xia Qiu was powerless to fight back.

Swoosh.

Heckle instantly met Xia Qiu's right dorsal fin, then turned and threw a downward punch.

Faced with this attack, a tentacle flew out and lashed out at Heckle.

"Not good."

Facing the giant tentacle, Heckle turned and threw a punch, striking the tentacle.

Smack

The surface of its arms shattered, and it was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

But the next moment, three more arms arrived first, covering Heckle.

Bang, bang.

Heckle threw a punch and kicked.

This punch shattered one of Xia Qiu's wrists and feet. He braced himself with one foot against the other wrist and foot, but was struck by the other wrist and foot.

Bang! Heckle was struck squarely, but he braced himself with his elbow, using the force to lighten his weight and fly backward, dodging the remaining tentacle.

But the moment he flew back, Xia Qiu had already pulled his head back, charged forward, and bit down on Heckle in the air.

Faced with Xia Qiu's teeth, Heckle immediately increased his weight, his body plummeting downwards, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Xia Qiu's teeth missed their mark, but her head slammed down hard.

Just as Heckle regained his footing, the massive head slammed down, forcing him to raise his hands to support Xia Qiu's chin.

Bang.

Heckle planted both feet on the ground.

not good.

Heckle raised his arms, trying to resist Xia Qiu, but he couldn't push her away at all. He tried his best to support himself, but his legs sank into the ground.

Just when Heckle felt something was wrong, he suddenly felt the force loosen.

Boom, boom.

Xia Qiu took a step back, creating some distance between herself and the distance, and walked away into the distance.

"Aren't you going to fight anymore?"

Heckle slowly crawled out of the ground, panting as he looked at the Xia Qiu that were far away from him.

"Alright."

Zala walked toward Heckle and said to him, "That's enough for today."

"I'm sorry, I... I lost again."

Heckle said with some frustration that in half a year, he had mastered the Devil Fruit and, in combination with Devil Fruit, had honed a new fighting style.

Moreover, he became stronger, not only increasing his arm strength but also focusing on leg training, hoping to perfectly utilize the Devil Fruit's abilities.

Even so, he still couldn't defeat this Giant Beast.

Zala laughed and said, "It's much better than before, but it's not enough. You need to become stronger."

"Vice President, I will continue to work hard."

Heckle immediately said.

Zala said, "Alright, go back to Alabasta, but I need you to take a message to someone. When you get back..."

"Please give your instructions, Vice President," Heckle said hastily.

Well enough.

Xia Qiu expressed satisfaction with Heckle and his own combat capabilities.

Heckle's strength has improved since last time; he can now use Devil Fruit skillfully, and his power has also increased significantly.

His combat strength is roughly at the level of Marine Colonel.

He was slightly superior to him, and even if he fought Commodore general on land, the latter had the advantage in speed and he might not be able to keep track of the general's movements, but the brigadier general would still be unable to defeat him.

Of course, underwater, even Commodore or Rear Admiral would only face certain death if they encountered him.

This improvement is quite significant, thanks to the progress made over the past six months.

By Reinforcement Energy, he made himself far stronger than Rear Admiral general, not far from Vice Admiral. At least underwater, Vice Admiral's strength is halved, and his pure strength is no match for his own.

Stronger defense, faster speed.

Secondly, eating dinosaurs altered the structure of his six legs. Although it wasn't fully completed, he was already able to support himself gradually. Combined with increased strength, his speed increased significantly.

Now I can kick and stomp on people with my legs, and the power is no weaker than a Commodore's strike.

This way, you don't have to worry about the enemy attacking from the side, and by supporting your body, you can free up your arms and legs to attack.

But that's not enough.

My mobility is still too poor. As long as someone knows Geppo and Shave, it will be difficult for me to catch them.

In the water, the opponent cannot use Geppo and Shave, and their strength is halved. Even Rear Admiral would die if he encountered him.

However, on land, he was no match for the naval officers who could shave their heads.

However, Xia Qiu felt it was difficult to improve agility. He suggested increasing speed by strengthening strength, and then using the resulting speed to counter the enemy's mobility.

So what level of strength is required to make one's agility comparable to that of a human?

It can compensate with more offensive means, such as its tail, legs, teeth, and tentacles.

However, it became increasingly difficult to detect the enemy's movements. On land, its sonar was ineffective, as sound traveled at only slightly more than one-fifth the speed of water, and its attenuation was extremely severe.

The speed of sound wave release, reception, and accuracy are all greatly reduced, making it difficult to detect the enemy's figure. It was already quite difficult to deal with Heckle.

Therefore, we must have more attack methods and increase detection methods.

Xia Qiu had a great idea for detection methods: Observation Haki. With Observation Haki, one could accurately grasp the enemy's figure, making battles much easier.

Observation Haki is relatively less common than Armament Haki, and the manifestation of Observation Haki is also different.

Some people have keen senses, some can detect the atmosphere around them, and some can foresee and avoid danger.

The first thing one needs to do is to perceive the atmosphere around them, so there are relatively few people to choose from.

But there's a perfect candidate who's closer to here.

Enel.

He can sense the surrounding atmosphere and predict other people's actions. Although his Observation Haki is enhanced by his Devil Fruit ability, it is still very powerful.

But I might not be able to get to the Sky Island, and I can't defeat him.

This troubled Xia Qiu somewhat.

We can only put it aside for now and deal with it later. We'll just lie here and wait.

Not long after, a figure entered the house, greeted by Zala.

Let's deal with this first.

There will be two updates today, and the other one will be written around 2 PM.

Also, I don't know if everyone watched the RNG vs. SKT match today. They gave us hope at the beginning, but then lost, especially the last game, which was disappointing. Faker is truly amazing; RNG will have to wait until next year to face them.

Looking forward to WE's match tomorrow, with two LPL teams advancing to the semifinals, one of them should definitely make it to the Bird's Nest stadium.
