The following days were spent by Mosen in training.
In the morning, Mosen practiced drawing and sheathing his sword 1,000 times each, as Michael had requested.
In the afternoon, he honed his Armament Haki under Paddy's guidance.
Mosen wasn't idle in the evenings either. In his past life, Mosen had worked in firefighting, a job that demanded high physical fitness. Therefore, Mosen's training intensity was high, and he was knowledgeable about various training methods.
Recently, Mosen discovered that a short poem his Tai Chi teacher had composed to quickly calm the mind in his past life could be helpful in training Observation Haki.
This poem, while similar in meaning to "Don't get angry," flowed more smoothly. Its sole purpose was to help one concentrate and calm down quickly.
It was like counting sheep when you can't sleep, also to prevent random thoughts from flooding your mind, focusing only on counting sheep. When the brain gets tired of counting, it releases signals similar to fatigue, which can help one fall asleep quickly.
Mosen just had to sit cross-legged, as he did in his past life, and silently recite the poem. His attention would quickly focus, and the杂念 (miscellaneous thoughts) in his heart would soon disappear.
Observation Haki also had similar requirements for activation; one could only use it when in a relatively calm state.
Therefore, this state was very suitable for training Observation Haki.
So, every night, Mosen would maintain a cross-legged posture and train his Observation Haki for several hours.
Seeing Mosen training diligently all day stimulated the group of four somewhat.
After being imprisoned in Impel Down, the four of them had basically given up on themselves, living in a daze every day. Let alone training, they even felt too tired to move.
But since meeting Mosen, the lives of the four had changed greatly, especially Mia's.
Mia was only 20 years old. After being imprisoned in Impel Down, Mia no longer expected to survive. After all, in Mia's understanding, no one had ever escaped Impel Down. Coupled with the daily hunger and cold, and hovering on the brink of death, she had long lost hope for the future.
Now, Mia's intuition told her that as long as she followed Mosen, she had a chance to leave Impel Down.
So, Mia, who was almost "dead," was fully revived and began to learn Armament Haki from Paddy.
Michael, perhaps discouraged by Paddy, also began to study swordsmanship on his own while teaching Mosen.
Paddy silently trained her Observation Haki. According to Mia, Paddy's Observation Haki was close to a major breakthrough.
Only Ian seemed unaffected, remaining the same as before.
"Ian, everyone is working hard to train, why aren't you joining them?" Michael came over and asked.
"I'm different from you. I specialize in sniping. Without firearms, I can't train," Ian replied casually.
"You can train Haki! Observation Haki can lock onto enemies from a distance, and Armament Haki can be wrapped around bullets."
"I know all that, but what's the point of training? I used to shoot with my right hand, but now my entire right arm is gone. Training Haki is meaningless." Ian said with a bitter smile.
"Who says it's meaningless? Regrowing a severed arm isn't impossible. I know of at least two ways to restore a severed limb," Mosen said, walking over.
Ian's eyes lit up at his words. He looked at Mosen expectantly, hoping to hear some good news.
"Do you know Vegapunk?" Mosen asked.
"Of course, we do. It's said he mastered technology hundreds of years ahead of reality," Mia replied.
"When Vegapunk was young, he was the leader of a mad scientist organization called MADS. Many members of this organization were brilliant scientists. One of them, Vinsmoke Judge, could clone an exact replica of a person through Lineage Factor.
In other words, Vinsmoke Judge could cultivate an arm identical to your right arm using your Lineage Factor, and then attach it to your severed limb, thus achieving the regeneration of your arm.
This is the first method. The second method is through the Ope Ope no Mi. The Ope Ope no Mi can create a magical space where the user can attach another person's arm to your severed limb without any side effects."
After listening to Mosen's words, Ian became very excited. "Lineage Factor cloning and the Ope Ope no Mi? Mosen, thank you."
"You're thanking me too soon. Whether you can leave Impel Down is still up in the air!"
"Hehe! Mr. Jailer, our freedom depends on you. As long as you can get us out, we'll do anything you want, even be your slaves like the Celestial Dragons." Mia said with a smile.
"I think so too," Paddy added with a simple smile.
"Me too," Michael chimed in.
"Me too!" Ian said, not to be outdone.
"Get real! I can't do things like the Celestial Dragons." With that, Mosen ignored the four and continued his training.
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters in Marineford, a warship slowly sailed in.
"Gakie, I've troubled you this time," said a burly, short-haired middle-aged man in a Navy uniform on the warship's deck, patting Gakie's shoulder. He didn't look particularly intelligent.
"Mr. Garp, Fleet Admiral Kong and Mr. Sengoku were very angry that you've been away for so long. Have you thought of how to deal with them?"
(ps: Regarding when Sengoku became Fleet Admiral, a clarification. During the Ohara incident, Sengoku was undoubtedly a Marine Admiral. Seven years later, when Rosinante died, Sengoku was still an Admiral. These are clearly shown in the original work.
This means Sengoku became Fleet Admiral at least seven years later, so at this point, Sengoku is undoubtedly still a Marine Admiral.)
"A few words can smooth things over, right? No need to worry so much," Garp said nonchalantly.
"Mr. Garp."
"Enough! Let's not talk about unpleasant things. Gakie, what was the name of that kid you mentioned earlier?"
"His name is Carlos Mosen."
"Right, right! Carlos Mosen. If he's truly as you say, he's an exceptional talent. It's a waste to keep him in Impel Down. I'll have a good talk with Fleet Admiral Kong and Sengoku later."
"But Mr. Garp, Mosen was sent to the Navy by your son. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for you to discuss this with Mr. Sengoku?"
Today is the second round of recommendations. Please support me. Thank you very much.
