Daily Training at Sea
"It's true!"
Lazuli said expressionlessly, then turned and walked away.
She was furious as well. She had clearly arrived first and had been by her senior brother's side for a year, yet he had never touched her. Now, an outsider woman had beaten her to it. She was deeply dissatisfied.
"Is my figure not good enough? But that woman's figure is about the same as mine. Although I didn't see her face clearly, I'm not bad-looking either!"
Lazuli questioned herself. She was definitely not lacking, so why had her senior brother never touched her?
"Could it be that Senior Brother likes passive women? Women who take the initiative?"
"Yes, that must be it. I need to learn how to take the initiative. Senior Brother likes passive women."
Thus, after some thought, Lazuli reached a startling conclusion.
Suoluo Island
Not long after Li Yuan carried Shakky away, a Pirate Ship arrived at the port. If Li Yuan had been there, he would have been shocked to discover—
The Pirate Crew that had arrived was the future-famous Roger Pirates!!
And because of Shakky, one might even have connected this to why Shakky and Rayleigh ended up together in the original story.
"Rayleigh, it seems like a lot happened on this island."
Roger was still very young at the time. His strength had yet to reach its peak, and many of the crew members had not yet grown into their potential.
"A great deal did happen. There were CP Agents from the World Government, Pirate Crews, and even a powerful Swordmaster."
Rayleigh said this after getting off the ship to inspect the battlefield.
The next morning, Li Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Shakky, who was sleeping soundly beside him with her head resting on him.
Ignoring the tempting sight exposed before him, he withdrew his arm without hesitation, got up to wash, ate breakfast, and then headed to the deck.
"Kano, did we get anything from yesterday?"
Li Yuan called Kano over to ask about the Leopard Pirates' spoils.
"Senior Brother, we seized a great deal of supplies, around fifty million Berry worth of Treasure, and a batch of weapons. There weren't any other valuable items."
Though they had become pirates, Kano and the others still habitually called Li Yuan Senior Brother. Li Yuan could not be bothered to say anything about it.
"Is that so? Then have someone train with me."
Hearing that there had been no real gains, Li Yuan was somewhat disappointed. Why was his luck so bad? After all this time, he hadn't even obtained a single Devil Fruit.
At Li Yuan's call, Karu and Kano soon led a group of junior brothers to surround Li Yuan.
They held either Spiked Clubs, heavy iron hammers, or sharp Swords in their hands.
"Come on."
Li Yuan said.
"Senior Brother, forgive us."
The junior brothers were already used to this. They raised their weapons and struck Li Yuan with all their strength.
Boom!!!
Screech!!!
Li Yuan took his junior brothers' attacks with nothing but his basic physical body, not even using Iron Body. At most, their attacks only left light wounds on him, with the deepest cuts not even a centimeter deep.
Those wounds were rapidly healing at a rate visible to the naked eye, far more powerful than the recovery ability of an ordinary Zoan Devil Fruit.
It had even reached the regenerative level of an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. It was terrifyingly strong.
As he continuously circulated the Sword God Body Tempering Technique, numerous insights into swordsmanship gradually surfaced in his mind. While tempering his body, his swordsmanship was also steadily improving.
Inside the cabin, Shakky had woken up when Li Yuan got out of bed. What she had not expected was that she had given her precious first time to a man she had only just met!
Looking at the crimson-stained bedsheet beneath her, Shakky gathered it up and cut the stained portion away. After washing and getting dressed, she went outside, just in time to see Li Yuan's daily training.
"Big Sister, I'm the ship's doctor of the Limitless Pirates. My name is Lazuli. What should I call you?"
After Shakky came out, Lazuli walked over with a bright smile. Though she was angry with Shakky, what had happened had already happened, and there was nothing she could do about it. She could only build a good relationship with Shakky, since they might become sisters in the future.
"My name is Shakky. Embarrassingly enough, I still don't know his name."
Shakky was still very young and did not sense any malice or anything else from Lazuli. After glancing at Lazuli, she turned to look at Li Yuan, who was enduring the relentless barrage of attacks.
"Senior Brother's name is Li Yuan. He is the Captain of the Limitless Pirates and the goal all of us strive toward. He will also become the future World's Greatest Swordsman!"
When Lazuli spoke of Li Yuan, light unconsciously filled her eyes. She was immensely proud and excited.
As a woman herself, Shakky naturally noticed it, but she did not react much. In this world, beautiful women were loved by men, and outstanding men were pursued by women. There was nothing strange about that.
"The World's Greatest Swordsman? That is truly a grand goal."
Shakky said in surprise. Becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman was no simple goal. It required more than merely possessing the strongest swordsmanship in the world.
He also had to earn the recognition of most of the world's Great Swordsmen, or defeat them.
She knew of several Great Swordsmen, and every one of them was a monstrous existence, far stronger than Li Yuan was now.
It could be said that Li Yuan was still very far from achieving that goal.
"That's right, the World's Greatest Swordsman. I believe that with Senior Brother's talent, he will definitely become the World's Greatest Swordsman!"
Lazuli said confidently. No matter what others thought, in her eyes, Li Yuan would definitely succeed.
"Has he always trained like this?"
Shakky did not dwell on the matter and instead asked about something else.
"Yes. Senior Brother trains incredibly hard. Back then, he used iron rods to temper his body."
"As Senior Brother's body continued to grow stronger, he switched to Spiked Clubs and Swords."
"I feel that even Swords and Spiked Clubs will not be enough to train Senior Brother for much longer."
"Senior Brother trains tirelessly every day. In just one short year, he has already..."
Lazuli answered nearly every one of Shakky's questions. Since the other woman was already Li Yuan's woman, Lazuli felt that such trivial matters were nothing worth hiding.
And this was Shakky's first real understanding of Li Yuan. This young man, only sixteen years old, was actually so exceptional.
No wonder he possessed such powerful strength at such a young age. Perhaps it would not be long before he became a monster like a Rocks Pirates Officer.
"Stop. Switch to Firearms."
After training continuously for half an hour, Li Yuan called for a halt and told his junior brothers to switch to Firearms.
Though they were shocked by Li Yuan's request, they quickly brought over all the Guns and ammunition from the ship.
Sixty junior brothers held Guns and formed two circles around Li Yuan, each aiming at a different part of his body.
Readers who have not invested yet can go invest. This book will definitely be put on the shelves, and the investment returns are quite good. I hope you will not miss out.
