After dinner, Werther lay on his bed and reached out with his mind to the Black Ring on his hand.
His status panel immediately appeared before him.
Thunder Core (8) (This ability can be strengthened with Life Force.) Swordsmanship (17) +1 (A technique-based skill that cannot be strengthened with Life Force.) Conqueror's Haki (5) (A willpower-based ability that cannot be strengthened with Life Force.) Armament Haki (17) (This ability can be strengthened with Life Force.) Observation Haki (1) +1 (This ability can be strengthened with Life Force.) Hand-to-Hand Combat (9) + (This ability can be strengthened with Life Force.) Speed (17) (This ability can be strengthened with Life Force.) Physical Strength (16) (This ability can be strengthened with Life Force.) Stored Life Force: 180,000.
Werther couldn't help smiling at his status panel.
After his battle with Kaido, his Swordsmanship, Observation Haki, and Hand-to-Hand Combat had all improved. His Hand-to-Hand Combat, in particular, had risen three levels at once.
Perhaps that was the result of strengthening it last time. He hadn't noticed any improvement before, but after fighting Kaido, it had jumped three levels.
What delighted Werther most was that enormous reserve of Life Force. This was the first time he had ever gained more than a hundred thousand.
It seemed his defeat hadn't been a fluke. Even after Werther had absorbed nearly 140,000 Life Force from Kaido, he had still been bursting with energy. Just how much Life Force did he have?
Werther sometimes wondered how strong he could become if he trapped Kaido and drained some of his Life Force now and then.
But that was only a hypothetical. By the time he could actually trap Kaido, he might no longer care about his Life Force.
Besides Kaido, there were plenty of beings with abundant Life Force.
