Pirate Throne of Salt

"Weathered Spear·Armed!"

Countless fine salt crystals formed a spear in mid-air, and the spear was even covered with a layer of black paint-like armed domineering force.

The spear with the aura of corrosive destruction pierced the sky and attacked the red-haired boy.

Shanks covered his head with a straw hat that was blown by the wind with one hand, and held the scabbard of his sword tightly with the other hand.

Pulling out the long sword with one hand, Shanks' armament-colored domineering energy instantly wrapped around it, emitting bursts of white smoke.

"boom!"

The spear and the sword collided with a loud noise, and the ground with Shanks as the center was instantly shattered, sending up a burst of dust.

The elemental Matthew carefully observed Shanks' traces in mid-air.

Matthew's eyes shrank, "Here we come!"

"Clang!"

"boom!"

Although he sensed Shanks' attack in advance with his knowledge and Haki, and used his fruit power to make a spear in front of him in advance, he was still unprepared and was blasted away by Shanks.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Matthew slowly crawled out of the large herringbone hole on the ground, his left arm still shaking slightly, and the clothes on his body were covered with dust. On the contrary, Shanks opposite was clean and tidy, creating a huge contrast.

This is too perverted, I can't even withstand a single blow from him.

"Matthew, your armed Haki is still too weak. You can't just rely on Devil Fruit. Haki is also very important."

Matthew has the urge to stab Shanks directly to death. I have obviously worked very hard to practice domineering, okay? It's all because you are such a pervert, okay?

"Shanks, do you have sea tower stones there?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this?"

Shanks asked with some confusion as he picked his nostrils.

"Give me the Shanghai Tower Stone, I want to practice Liuying!"

That's right, Matthew is going to learn from Luffy, the protagonist of the previous One Piece anime, and train his armed Haki by limiting his fruit abilities while gradually experiencing the second stage of Haki - Ryu Sakura.

"Ah ha? Matthew, are you kidding me? It's hard for you to even stand up with the stellate handcuffs on." Bucky gnawed on a red apple and looked at Matthew with gloating. He was the one who fought against Shanks before. One person was beaten, but now two people were beaten, and Bucky felt much better.

"Yes, Matthew, after the ability user wears the stellate stone handcuffs, you probably won't be able to deal with a beast."

"Don't try to persuade me, just handcuff me!" Looking at Matthew's firm gaze, Shanks had no choice but to put Shanghai Stone handcuffs on Matthew.

The moment he was put on the gallstone handcuffs, Matthew felt as if he had been squeezed dry. He had no strength in his body, his head was empty, and it was difficult to even think.

"thump"

Matthew used one hand to force himself to half kneel on the ground.

Shanks looked at Matthew in front of him as if he couldn't bear it.

"Matthew, have you ever thought about why you want to become stronger?" Shanks suddenly asked.

Why become stronger?Nonsense, of course I thought about it.For Matthew, the goal of becoming stronger is for himself, to live freely in this world, to have the strength to not sit back and watch when things happen, etc. These are all the things Matthew strives for. The goal.

The longer Matthew lived in this world, the more determined his heart changed.

Roger once said to himself, "Our adventure is over, but your journey has just begun!"

I remember one time Roger said this while standing on the deck facing the wind and waves.

"If you don't do what you want to do, then why are you a pirate?"

"If a person doesn't even have a dream, then why should he sail on this sea!"

……

Recalling what Roger had said, Matthew yelled with his last strength.

"Because of dreams!"

"The curtain hasn't opened yet, how can we back down."

"Everyone has his or her own chance to play. Before that, I, Mohammed Mathieu, must prepare well!"

Shanks was a little surprised when he saw Matthew lying down suddenly in front of him.

Why is there the shadow of the captain?

Shanks shook his head, put away his thoughts, and said.

"It really is"

"It's an irresistible reason!"

"Yo Xi, let us work hard for this."

"Bucky, let's practice together!"

"Ah! Me? I don't want it. I just want to go to sea to find treasures now."

"Eh!"

……

Three months later.

"Armed!"

Steam-like smoke surrounded the armed domineering force on Matthew's arms. At this time, Matthew's hands were wearing a pair of seastone handcuffs, although the restrictions of the seastone still made Matthew uncomfortable.

But after three months of adaptation, and under the guidance of Shanks, a genius, Matthew's level of armed domineering quickly improved.

The reference for improvement is actual combat, yes, actual combat, dueling with various beasts on the island.

At the beginning of each battle, Matthew was basically hovering on the edge of death, without any fruitful abilities. Hailoushi continued to reduce his physical strength. Beasts that could usually be dealt with with one move might kill Matthew.

However, Matthew did not die. He persisted. Now Matthew can even face three chimpanzees alone and is still undefeated.

And because he is often in such a high-intensity combat state, Matthew's domineering power has also been greatly improved, which surprised Matthew a little.

Today is Matthew's last test.

Looking at the five chimpanzees in front of him, Matthew wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's a bit difficult!"

"Boom!" A sound broke through the air, and a giant black fist hit Matthew.

Matthew's figure flashed into the air, and he looked at the deep pit that was smashed on the ground with a guilty conscience.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" The chimpanzee who missed the attack began to beat his chest continuously, making a crazy sound.

"Armed!" Matthew put his hands together, covered in armed colors, and used the falling kinetic energy to hit the orangutan's head hard in mid-air.

"Boom!" The huge force directly smashed the orangutan's head, but it still staggered and did not fall down.

Before this one was solved, another attack came again.

Matthew, who could sense the movements of the other orangutans at any time with his sense of sight, jumped along the arm of the orangutan under him and jumped to a chimpanzee behind him.

The blow just now landed accurately on the swaying orangutan, finally making it lie down forever.

"Aha!"

Matthew turned around, and his armed-colored fist collided with the dark fist on the opposite side, sending out a huge shock wave. The chimpanzee underneath him couldn't bear the impact at all, and was knocked unconscious.

"boom!"

The attacking chimpanzee was pushed back by Matthew on a hill, creating a huge crater.

"Three of them, you two are the only ones left."

Just as Matthew was about to end the lives of the remaining two chimpanzees.

"Matthew! Matthew!"

Bucky in the distance was crying and calling Matthew's name, holding something like a newspaper in his hand.

Shanks on the side had a gloomy face, and a terrifying aura emitted directly from his body.

Matthew knew that it was the overlord-colored domineering energy that belonged to Shanks.

"Plop, plop."

The two orangutans behind him landed on the ground.

Thinking of the newspaper in Bucky's hand, he calculated the current time in his mind.

Matthew suddenly seemed to understand something, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Could it be that……"
