Changes

"Robin, your bounty has increased again."

Somewhere in the Grand Line, Sabo handed a wanted poster to the tall woman beside him.

"One hundred and forty million?"

Robin frowned upon seeing the numbers and asked, "Have they discovered I'm in the Revolutionary Army? But I shouldn't have revealed my identity."

"Of course not."

Koala walked over and handed over another wanted poster, saying, "Not only has your bounty increased, but Little Qiu's bounty has also increased, reaching ninety million. Or rather, it's because of him that you've been promoted."

"Little Qiu?"

Robin took the wanted poster, glanced at it, and asked, puzzled, "What exactly happened?"

Koala shrugged and said, "Little Qiu attacked a Vice Admiral, Vice Admiral Onigumo of the G4 Branch, and killed him."

"This..."

Robin asked in disbelief, "Little Qiu actually killed a Vice Admiral?"

"He was able to kill Vice Admiral, so he was more powerful than I thought, especially a veteran Vice Admiral like Onigumo."

Sabo exclaimed that he could now easily defeat Vice Admiral, but against a veteran Vice Admiral who had been promoted many years ago, he would have to fight hard.

"But why would he do that?" Robin asked, puzzled, her brow furrowed, wondering why he would attack a Marine Vice Admiral.

Upon hearing this, Koala seemed to remember something and asked, "I recall he asked us for his contact information, didn't he?"

Sabo looked at Koala and asked, "He hasn't contacted us in over a year."

Koala said, "The problem isn't there, but what he actually wants to do. He didn't tell us then because he felt he couldn't do it now, and said he would show his strength later. But now it seems that killing the Vice Admiral is a signal to us."

"Is that so?"

Sabo yawned and said, "Then let's wait for him to contact us."

"Don't stop, keep running."

"Alabasta, Alubarna!" a tall figure shouted loudly from the sidelines of the training field.

"I... I can't hold on any longer."

Not far away, Vivi was panting heavily, supporting herself on her legs, sweat streaming down her face.

"You're really useless," Cecilia said, shaking her head.

"This is too tiring! Does Vivi have to undergo such rigorous training now?"

A figure peeked out from behind a wall not far away, looking in this direction with a pained expression on their face.

"Your Majesty, this was Vivi's own decision. She felt she was too weak to protect Alabasta, so she asked Senior Agent from Baroque Works to assist in training her," Igaram explained. This was Vivi's version of events; she hadn't told anyone the truth.

"What a wonderful daughter!" King Cobra of Alabasta said, his expression moved.

Who is it?

But the next moment, the tall figure in the distance looked this way and leaped towards us, while Vivi also stopped and looked in this direction.

"Damn it, we've been found out." Cobra was shocked and turned to run.

"I'll stop her."

Igaram stood up and blocked Cobra's path.

Cecilia leaped up and landed in front of Igaram in a few bounds, then kicked him in the head with her right foot.

Igaram quickly raised his arm to shield himself, and with a bang, a tremendous force struck, causing him to stagger backward.

"Snort."

Cecilia tapped her right foot, appearing beside Igaram and kicking out.

But just as his foot was about to land, his other leg blocked the attack.

Bang.

The two legs collided, but the figure blocking the way was jolted and fell directly to the ground.

"Vivi."

Cobra rushed over to check on her injuries.

She clutched her leg, her face contorted in pain, and looked at Cecilia, asking in bewilderment, "Why were you able to touch me?"

Cecilia snorted and said, "It's simple. The president told me your weakness: you're afraid of water. So when I launched the attack just now, I poured some water on my legs."

There were still some water droplets clinging to Cecilia's legs.

"This..." Vivi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that they knew about her weakness, so that besides Mr. 0, there would be a second way to touch her.

Cecilia snorted and said, "So you should understand that physical skills are incredibly important when you have weaknesses. If I wanted to make a move, your father would be dead by now, wouldn't he?"

Cecilia said coldly, "So you're still planning to slack off?"

"I'm sorry," Vivi said, her face showing remorse.

Cecilia snorted and said, "Take a break today, and continue training tomorrow."

"Yes."

Vivi gritted her teeth and stood up. She realized that her combat strength was getting weaker and weaker. Once her weaknesses were exposed, many people could defeat her.

However, this also made her determined to improve herself, because she was still too weak.

Island No. 4

This is the fourth base of the Baroque Works. On this deserted island, Xia Qiu and Heckle stand facing each other.

Swoosh.

Xia Qiu suddenly pulled out her wrist and attacked Heckle in front of her.

"Good timing."

Heckle raised his arms, his muscles bulging, and thrust his fists straight at the wrist.

"Boom."

As his wrist and fist collided, Heckle felt a powerful force coming from him and sensed something was wrong. He quickly reduced his weight and was sent flying backward, landing some distance away. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What immense power."

Heckle's arms were numb with pain. He looked at his opponent, somewhat shocked by the opponent's strength.

"Go back now."

Zala looked at Heckle and said, "Your skills are still too weak. Go back and continue training."

"Yes."

Heckle quickly replied, somewhat discouraged. He had thought that with his hard training, he should be able to catch up with the Giant Beast.

But he didn't expect the gap between himself and the Giant Beast to be widening. He could have kept up before, but now he couldn't handle even one tentacle.

Heckle turned and left, intending to go back to continue training.

As expected, the strength of his arms and legs increased again after absorbing the Vice Admiral's power, becoming even more resilient. And after being covered with Armament Haki, its power increased even further.

Now, a single blow from him is comparable to Heckle's full-force attack.

Xia Qiu is very satisfied with her improved strength.

After he left, Zala looked at Xia Qiu with a glint in her eyes and said, "You've gotten stronger again."

She noticed Xia Qiu's changes, not only her physical condition but also her increased strength.

It seems he has been constantly evolving and getting stronger.

"It's just that you're too weak."

Xia Qiu shook his head in dissatisfaction. With only this much strength, there was no way to complete the plan.

"I'm sorry," Zala said, bowing her head immediately.

Xia Qiu snorted and said, "Go and do your own thing."

"Yes."

After agreeing, Zala turned and left.

But at this moment, Xia Qiu suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the mountain range.

Rumble.

The loud noise attracted not only Zala but also Heckle on the shore.

Xia Qiu rushed to the bottom of the mountain range and suddenly crashed into it.

"This..."

When Zala saw this, she didn't quite understand what he was doing.

boom.

The next moment, Xia Qiu crashed headfirst into the foot of the mountain. A loud bang was heard, rocks flew everywhere, and smoke filled the air.

But when the smoke cleared, Zala saw a terrifying sight.

Where Xia Qiu was hit, a huge crater appeared directly, a huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of four or five meters.

Not only that, but cracks also spread outwards, especially those extending towards the mountaintop, the thickest of which was more than two feet wide.

If he were to strike a few more times, Zala had no doubt that he could smash the mountain apart.

"What immense power!"

Zala stared blankly at the scene before her; the destructive power was simply too great.

"It hurts a bit."

Xia Qiu shook her head, snapping out of her daze.

It has pretty good destructive power.

Xia Qiu possessed immense strength. After devouring the Vice Admiral, the force of his accelerated charge far surpassed that of the Vice Admiral.

Of course, this is the force generated by running and accelerating, using the power of the whole body, and leveraging the force generated by the massive weight and huge ram.

However, individual limb parts, such as wrists, feet, legs, or tails, are somewhat inferior to those of Vice Admiral.

If this level of power is combined with Armament Haki, then its power becomes enormous.

Xia Qiu's attack was just as powerful as Chinjao's headbutt, but it was still not as powerful as his "Drill Dragon Drill: Chinjao Opening the Door" and "No Drill Dragon No Drill".

However, too much of that Haki was consumed.

The impact was so powerful that it consumed half of the user's Armament Haki.

Even under these circumstances, I felt a sharp pain in my head.

It seems that I still need to increase my Haki and use Haki wisely to protect myself.

Xia Qiu shook her head, glanced at the dumbfounded Zala, and walked towards the ocean.
