"Teacher, I'm about to burst!"
A swollen, ball-shaped figure emerged hastily from the trunk of the giant tree, calling out to Wang Hao in pain as soon as it appeared. It was Binz, whom Wang Hao had secretly brought here.
Retrieving the heart of the giant tree was no easy task, and he didn't want to attract the attention of the people in the Sabaody Archipelago, so he secretly brought Binz, who had just recovered, over and had him use his abilities to sneak into the trunk of the giant tree and retrieve the heart.
However, the energy contained within the tree's core was simply too immense; even a Sisi wisp of it nearly burst Binz's body.
Fortunately, the energy in the tree heart is of the wood element, leaning towards vitality and relatively mild in nature; otherwise, Binz would have exploded long ago.
Wang Hao quickly put the tree heart crystal, which was as tall as a person, into his own storage space, and then placed his palm on Binz's vest to suppress the tree heart energy in his body.
"Walk!"
Barely managing to suppress the tree core energy within Binz's body, Wang Hao rushed to the most central tree among the twenty-nine tree islands in the Lawless Zone zone, and decisively sealed the tree core he had obtained from the giant tree into it.
Following Wang Hao's previous instructions, Binz, despite his physical discomfort, used his fruit power to merge his entire body into the mangrove tree.
He needs to help the mangrove tree digest the tree heart so that it can grow into something resembling a giant tree.
At the same time, this is also a great opportunity for him. As long as he can personally experience the transformation of the mangrove, it will be of great benefit to both his own cultivation and the development of the fruit's abilities.
If he succeeds, he will be completely transformed. He may not become Admiral- level expert, but becoming Rear Admiral or even Vice Admiral will be no problem.
Therefore, he will definitely seize this opportunity, even at a heavy price.
Wang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was going well for Binz.
Although he had rehearsed the plan many times and was basically certain that there would be no danger, theory is still theory, and there is still some difference between theory and reality.
He did not leave, but sat cross-legged under the main tree, constantly watching the tree body absorb the giant tree's heartwood and its own growth.
Because they are from the same source, this mangrove tree absorbs the heartwood very efficiently, causing its already enormous body to grow rapidly.
The change in the main tree naturally caught the attention of Sengoku and the others, who hurriedly used their respective methods to rush over. The first to arrive was naturally Kizaru was the fastest.
Is that Binz?
Seeing his mentor sitting cross-legged under the tree, Kizaru relaxed his guard and then looked thoughtfully at the rapidly growing main tree.
The main tree itself was already quite large, measuring three thousand miles in height, but now it was growing rapidly at an insane rate.
As the tree roots grew and spread rapidly, the island formed by the accumulated soil below shattered and spread towards the smaller tree islands around it.
The tree roots were densely packed, resembling a swarm of countless venomous snakes.
"You've come at the right time. I've already modified your cultivation techniques and martial arts skills according to the records you registered with Ain. Line up and come over one by one."
Wang Hao smiled and waved to Kizaru and the others.
Although only one night had passed, he was very skilled at modifying cultivation techniques, and with his profound knowledge and ample material for reference, it wouldn't take him long to finish.
"What? You modified everyone's cultivation techniques overnight?"
Garp's old eyes widened in disbelief.
In just one night, this good buddy actually modified so many people's cultivation techniques?
You should know that almost everyone registered with Ain yesterday according to their own plans for the future.
If it were only one or two people who needed modifications, he could barely accept getting it done overnight. But to complete the modifications for dozens or even hundreds of people's cultivation techniques in one night is just too incredible!
Gion and the others were also shocked. They had originally prepared for a long battle, and some even planned to travel the world with their teacher until they obtained the improved martial arts techniques.
But who would have thought that this mentor would get it all sorted out overnight!
"It didn't even take a whole night, just three hours!"
Wang Hao casually remarked that he had indeed only used three hours, spending most of the time cooperating with Binz's actions.
Is this the important point?
Sengoku and the others were speechless, looking at Wang Hao as if he were a god, Gion and the others were filled with admiration.
"Actually, it's nothing. Once you reach my level and understand the essence of cultivation, you'll realize how simple your cultivation techniques are; you can conjure one up with a flick of your wrist."
Wang Hao snapped out of his daze, understood what everyone was thinking, and explained with a smile.
These words caused Sengoku and the others' faces to twitch repeatedly, leaving them even more speechless.
They had seen the entire three warehouses of manuscripts that this man had given to Kong and the World Government. Just the basic chapter of Yin Seal required so many documents and materials. One can only imagine the amount of knowledge required to reach this man's current level.
The thought sent chills down everyone's spines.
Sure enough, compared to letting these academically challenged students reach that level on their own, it was much more convenient to seek help from this cheap but kind teacher.
One by one, everyone stepped forward to learn the new techniques and martial arts skills that Wang Hao had imparted using Observation Haki, and then excitedly ran to other tree islands to study and try them out.
There was nothing they could do about it; the main tree was growing too fast, causing the entire tree island to collapse and affecting the other tree islands around it. They had no choice but to move further away.
"I have one too?"
Garp stared blankly at his best friend who was removing his fingertips from his forehead. He never expected that his best friend of decades would also modify his martial arts techniques.
"I heard that the Yaksha Auction House was preparing to auction two Devil Fruit two years ago. One was the Paramecia-type Gold-Gold Fruit, which Paramecia, and the other was the Paramecia- type Metamorphosis Fruit, which Superman abilities. However, due to an accident during the auction, the Gold-Gold Fruit was stolen, forcing the auction to be temporarily suspended."
That Metamorphosis Fruit should still be at the Yaksha Auction House; it's the perfect fruit for you.
This was a piece of information that Wang Hao had just retrieved from his predecessor's memories last night. After learning about the power of the Metamorphosis Fruit, he understood that it was the most suitable Devil Fruit to be paired with Superman Devil Cultivation Method.
With this Metamorphosis Fruit, Garp's mastery of Superman Devil Cultivation Method will undoubtedly accelerate, and its power will increase significantly. He Dingzhen reach the level of the Bald Great Devil King in the comics, capable of shattering stars with a single punch.
"I'll go and get the Metamorphosis Fruit right away!"
Without saying a word, Garp rushed out and headed straight for Doflamingo's Yaksha Auction House.
He would have simply taken it without a second thought, not even considering the cost. If that brat Doflamingo didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't mind using the pretext of having a spy in the Navy to send him to Impel Down to pick up soap.
Doflamingo, far away in the New World, was indeed quite astute. After hearing his subordinate call to explain the situation, he thought for a moment and agreed to give the Metamorphosis Fruit to Garp.
If the opponent were Sengoku, he could use the rules to his advantage, but not Garp.
That's an old rogue who even the Five Elders find troublesome; they haven't been able to deal with him for decades. It's best for him not to provoke him.
Furthermore, the Metamorphosis Fruit's power is extremely weak; it can only slightly assist in one's cultivation. It's very strong for ordinary people, but it's nothing special for true geniuses.
Giving away such a useless fruit was not a big deal for him; what truly troubled and distressed him was Vergo's exposure, which put him in a much more passive position.
What bothers him even more is that he still can't figure out how his most capable subordinate was exposed.
Did the Navy plant a spy among him after he killed his traitorous brother?
Thinking about this, Doflamingo couldn't eat or sleep. If he didn't find that spy as soon as possible, nothing he did would be safe, and he might even face ruin and death.
Wang Hao was unaware of Doflamingo's agitation; he was currently looking at Ain, who had come to his side but hesitated to speak.
He didn't speak, just waited quietly for the Pretty female disciple to speak first.
This girl has become much more withdrawn because of the attack by Whitebeard II. three years ago, which is not good for her future development. Therefore, we must help her overcome that hurdle on her own as soon as possible.
Therefore, he wanted the female disciple to take the initiative to express her request.
After a long silence, Ain seemed to have finally mustered her courage, and solemnly bowed to Wang Hao, saying, "Teacher, I want to become stronger faster!"
"I've specially prepared a Devil Fruit for you. If you can grow to the level of Admiral Candidate within three years, I'll give it to you."
Wang Hao naturally knew what this female disciple wanted to do. She must have been spurred on by Binz to want to become stronger, and Devil Fruit was the best option at this stage.
He had even prepared a powerful Devil Fruit for his closest disciple, intending to send it to her once she met his standards.
"I definitely won't let my teacher down!"
With unwavering resolve, Ain quickly left and chose a slightly quieter tree island to practice the Nine Swords of Dugu technique, which her teacher had specially created for her!
Of course, this Nine Swords of Dugu is a version that Wang Hao has upgraded countless times, and it has been modified according to Ain's physical condition. It is a martial arts technique that belongs exclusively to Ain.
As long as you focus on your cultivation, reaching the peak of the Ninth Tier the Earth Realm shouldn't be a problem; it's just a matter of time.
Wang Hao, who was focused on his training and guiding numerous naval cadets, was unaware that the World Government was plotting against Fish-Man Island in the deep sea.
"Are you sure that little girl is the Poseidon who Awakening this generation?"
One of the Five Elders stared grimly at the CP0 leader in front of him, while the other four Five Elders had extremely cold expressions, and the atmosphere in the entire room was almost frozen.
The three great weapons of war were their most sensitive issue. Uranus was under their control, the Pluton Battleship was sealed in a place unknown to anyone, but Poseidon was the only one not under their control and was also the most dangerous.
Throughout history, there has been a chance that the Mermaid Clan Awakening the bloodline of the Poseidon, who can command all the Sea Kings in the Poseidon.
No one knows how many Sea Kings live in the ocean, and they are countless, but they are well aware that it is a terrifying force capable of destroying the entire world.
Now, the Mermaid Clan has produced another Poseidon, which is not a good thing for them and is definitely enough to threaten the ruling position of the World Government.
The reason they have suppressed and excluded Fish-Man Island for hundreds of years is to block news about Poseidon. Once Poseidon becomes a reality, they only need to target Fish-Man Island.
"It is absolutely true that when Saint Charlos pointed a gun at Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island, Princess Shirahoshi cried, which attracted dozens of colossal Sea Kings, each over ten thousand miles in size, that were swimming near Fish-Man Island."
This matches the description of Poseidon perfectly in the records. I suggest we eliminate him as soon as possible before this generation of Poseidon comes of age.
The CP0 leader said coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"I'm leaving this matter to you. I have only one request: eliminate this generation's Poseidon at all costs. We'll only care about the results!"
The leader of the Five Elders spoke, his tone also containing a chilling killing intent.
A threat as great as Poseidon must not be allowed to live!
