Pirate Throne of Salt

A week later, when Reilly came to the island again, he was a little dumbfounded.

Looking at Matthew and Shisheng standing on the shore waiting for him, they were smiling. Well, their faces were very good, and they were wearing strange cold-proof clothes. Yes, they were much better than the first week.

But what's going on with the bunch of bears next to the two of them!

"Hey! Rayleigh!"

"Senior Raleigh!"

Rayleigh slowly docked the boat, and a furry bear bit him on the leg.

"Hey, hey, hey, what is this!" Reilly raised his leg and shouted.

"Well, Senior Rayleigh, this is a pet we unexpectedly tamed. In Sir Matthew's words, it seems to be called a polar bear." Shi Sheng cleared his throat and explained.

"Haha, Rayleigh, don't worry, these polar bears are very well behaved!"

"Oh!"

The armed-colored fist punched Matthew on the head.

"Asshole Rayleigh, why did you hit me!?"

"I think!"

……

At this time, the weather on the island has begun to gradually warm up, and the ice and snow have begun to melt. Rayleigh is sitting in the simple wooden house of the two of them, with a snow-white bear lying on each shoulder.

"So, you can hear animals?"

"Ang, after I went out that day, this den of polar bears started mooing. Then slowly, I seemed to be able to understand their voices."

"Well, that's quite strange."

"However, this does not affect your practice this week. This week, I will stay on the island and teach you the ability to master the fruit."

"Oh! That means you can take off the handcuffs." Matthew looked very excited. After all, it was inconvenient to go to the toilet with the handcuffs on, so he had long wanted to take them off.

"Don't be too happy. It's only temporary. From now on, your cultivation status will be one week of domineering cultivation, one week of fruit cultivation, and so on."

"what!"

"By the way, there is also the kid from the Shuangyue family. This week, I will teach you swordsmanship. It may be different from what you have learned before. You must be prepared."

"Okay, Senior Rayleigh."

……

A new week has begun, and the season this week is autumn.

On this magical island, the weather changes like a girl's temper, inexplicably. What's even more incredible is that the plants here will also change with the changes in the weather.

Reilly unlocked Matthew's sea-floor stone handcuffs and led Matthew to a waterfall deep in the forest.

"Matthew, what do you think is the most important thing about a person with abilities?"

"the most important?"

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Matthew felt that he had no clue. The abilities of esper users were different. If Matthew had any personal thoughts, it was of course the most important thing to develop the fruit ability.

"It is important to develop the ability of the Devil Fruit, but for the individual fruit user, the most important thing is not the development, but the mastery."

"You can turn elements into salt, and you can naturally resonate with the salt in nature. You should have discovered this a long time ago."

Matthew nodded, and Rayleigh slowly walked into the river beside him and picked up a handful of water.

"Everything in the world contains salt. Whether it is water in the sea or water in rivers and lakes, it all contains a certain amount of salt."

"Yes, I can also control the salt in the sea!" Matthew was a little proud.

"Then can you control it accurately?"

"Precise control?"

"Yes, like this."

Rayleigh picked up a small stone and threw it to the lake.

"This stone can float on the water six times."

Following Rayleigh's words, the small stone floated on the water six times and then slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Tch, that's it, I can do it too."

Said Matthew also took a stone and threw it into the water, "biu" "biu" "biu"

I saw small stones floating on the water surface eight times before sinking to the bottom of the lake.

Hehe, isn't it just a waste of time? I can do it too.

"Hahaha, Matthew, don't you notice anything different?"

After Rayleigh's reminder, Matthew suddenly thought that it seemed that Rayleigh had just said directly how many times a stone could float.

Seeing the change in Matthew's face, Reilly continued to explain.

"This is the control of power. A person has power. Whether he is strong or not determines his upper limit, and whether he can control it determines his upper limit."

"Shortboard effect?"

"Yes, this also applies to Devil Fruit users. The strength of the fruit's ability determines the upper limit of the user, while control determines the lower limit. Fruit development is equivalent to the width. This is my personal understanding of Devil Fruits. It may be useful to you. "

upper limit lower limit?Matthew looked at the lake thoughtfully.

"Now activate your ability and try to finely control the salt content in the lake water."

Matthew slowly closed his eyes, feeling the power in his body slowly forming a vague connection with the surrounding salt.

He slowly lifted it up with one hand, and tiny particles began to appear on the lake directly in front of him.

"Control the salt essence to a thousand grains and give it a try."

"it is good."

Following the thoughts in Matthew's mind, part of the salt crystal particles floating on the water began to fall to the lake surface, while the other part continued to rise.

"Five hundred!"

Matthew continues to control the sinking of a portion of the salt crystal.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Matthew's forehead.

This kind of control is actually more energy-intensive than simply using it. If it were an element, with Matthew's current physical strength, it wouldn't be a problem to directly burst out several meals of salt out of thin air, but if he were to simply control it, it would feel like...

"One hundred!"

Matthew was concentrating on controlling the grains of salt, and his shirt was already wet with sweat.

"No!"

As Matthew exhausted his strength, some of the tiny salt particles in the air fell to the bottom of the lake, while others evaporated directly.

Although Matthew felt that what Reilly said made sense, how could he improve his strength through training like this?

"Leili, are you sure this is training?"

Reilly didn't speak, just smiled.

Matthew had only seen this kind of training method in Naruto in his previous life. At the time, he thought it was quite easy, but when he actually used this method, it was difficult in one word and boring in other words.

"This week, your training mode is like this. Within a week, you must be able to use [-] salt grains to make a large circle, with the radius decreasing successively, and finally forming a concentric circle composed of many circles."

"What! Rayleigh, do you want to tire me to death?"
