Preparing to Set Sail

In the pirate world, survival was the first rule. As long as he did not die, Ryan, with the system's assistance, would sooner or later stand atop the world.

Moreover, strengthening his physique enhanced Ryan's overall power in every aspect: speed, stamina, strength, resistance to blows, reflexes, and more. These were all benefits brought by improving his physique, which was why Ryan had directly maxed it out.

Only by staying alive could he possess everything. Although Ryan's destructive power was not currently the strongest, his physique alone was enough to place him among the top experts.

After all, Ryan was no slouch in other areas either. His swordsmanship and Conqueror's Haki were both extremely powerful, and he had now mastered the advanced application of Conqueror's Haki Infusion. He was truly strong now!

Especially in terms of swordsmanship, there were perhaps only a handful of people in this world whose swordsmanship surpassed Ryan's.

The sword-bearing elder among the Five Elders was one of them. Ryan did not know about the others yet, but this world was full of hidden talents. Who knew how many powerful people remained unknown? Koshiro and Fujitora were the best examples.

Before Fujitora joined the Blood Sword Pirates, hardly anyone in the world knew of him. In the original history, a single great conscription had brought two Admirals to the Navy. Ryan believed there were quite a few people like that in this world; they were simply too low-profile!

Furthermore, over the past half year or so, Ryan had comprehended the sword technique Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Wall.

Sword God Li Chungang's four great sword techniques were moves he had created through insights gained at different realms.

Vajra Sutra: Sword Immortal Kneels.

Finger Profound Realm: Two-Sleeved Green Snake.

Celestial Phenomenon Realm: Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Wall.
