[One Piece] Mindless and unhappy

The Phantom Feather Vine was indeed not very lethal as Ace said, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.

Haibara Ai, who spent a day at the location of Phantom Feather Vine, has a lot to say.

This tough but not thick vine is quite unique. It does not strangle the creatures that invade its territory like many vines. Instead, it chooses to use its thin vines to beat and expel them. The tough vines were difficult to cut. At least Haihara Ai tried cutting them with a dagger for a while but couldn't cut them.

The longer you stay in their territory, their strength will become stronger and stronger. From a gentle caress at the beginning, it gradually turns into a strong whip. These vines are light and tough and move extremely fast. Due to the nearby The whole territory was filled with Phantom Feather Vine, and by the end it was almost an overwhelming phantom of vines.

And Haiyuan Ai's special training is to stay in their territory for a whole day.

It was indeed, as Ace said, a method that suited her well.

Strengthen your perception of what you see, hear, and see, to capture the movements of each vine and predict their next step. At the same time, your body also needs to make corresponding movements to avoid these attacks.

It's just that this method will seem very cruel at the beginning. She is not skilled in her movements, and she is not so skilled in the use of seeing and hearing. Moreover, at the beginning, Phantom Feather Vine does not have any deep malice. When she is full in Phantom Feather Vine's territory, After not leaving for a long time, Huan Yuteng's movements were filled with murderous intent. There were obvious red bruises on her exposed skin. Some of the bruises were already starting to become slightly swollen. She wanted to come here in a while. These red marks will begin to bleed severely and turn into a bruise color.

When she and Ace returned to the tent, Ace had two blood stains on his face, and her arms and legs were already bruised. The two looked at each other and laughed inexplicably.

"I don't think I've ever seen you so embarrassed." Ace said.

Hui Yuan Ai took some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing plaster and rubbed it on herself, her brows furrowed tightly.

She found a bottle of disinfectant and threw it to Ace to clean his wounds, while replying: "I have rarely seen myself in such a mess."

Ace took the disinfectant and tried to apply medicine to the wound on his face, but because he couldn't see clearly and he didn't have the habit of bringing a mirror, he always couldn't find the place when applying the medicine and cotton swab. Hui Yuan Ai sighed when he saw him struggling with the cotton swab. When he put the blood-removing ointment in Ace's hand, he took away his disinfectant and gave him a new cotton swab three or two times. After wiping the wound, he put on his own ointment and sat back down.

Ace felt the sting of the disinfectant and the wound, screwed on the cap of the disinfectant, looked at Haihara Ai applying the medicine on his own, and asked, "Want to help?"

Haihara Ai handed him the medicine again without being seen. She could rub some of it away, but the bruise on her right hand was really difficult. She was not left-handed, so it was really difficult to deal with it with her backhand.

"hiss--"

Haibara Ai regretted the moment Ace struck. Maybe it was because of the difference in strength between men and women, or because Ace's tolerance to pain was completely different from hers. The intensity of Ace's strike made her unable to hold back. Take a breath of cold air directly.

Ace took a step back when he heard this sound and raised his hands very innocently: "...I really didn't mean it."

Hui Yuan Ai closed her eyes and turned her head away from him: "...It's okay. Finish it quickly. It will be easier to get better after rubbing away the congestion."

Afterwards, Ace used a little less force when he struck again, and she had to tighten her teeth to prevent herself from crying out in pain. After the wounds of the two of them were taken care of, Ace was okay, and Hui Yuan Ai was already covered in cold sweat.

Their meals today were two rabbits that Ace had hunted using Haki instead of flames during his training.

It was said that there were only two rabbits, but each of the two rabbits was longer than Ace's forearm. At least Haihara Ai felt that she couldn't kill the whole rabbit. She and Ace signaled that they would only use the smaller half. While cleaning up the rabbit, she also brought out a bunch of sour fruits.

Haiyuan Ai stuffed a piece of sour fruit into her mouth. While Ace was making barbecue, she also pulled out her medical notes and started thinking.

"Ace, do you have any inventory of Hailou Stone?" Haiyuan Ai looked at a record in his notebook and suddenly had some ideas.

Hailou stone?

Ace shook his head and said, "That thing is hard to get, and I can't touch it directly." He looked at the meditating little girl in front of him. Even though he knew that she was not the child she looked like, he still always felt that she was just a need. Taking care of the cubs.

"Hailou Stone is a solidified sea crystal and has the same effect as sea water. I have not seen any relevant analysis of this composition, but I want to try it." She suddenly found a direction of interest, her eyes were clear, "If the composition If purification is effective, then it can have a great effect against those with abilities."

Ace laughed and handed her the half-roasted rabbit he had just baked, "This is indeed a good idea, but you don't have a laboratory now. If you want to do research, you have to wait until the special training is over, right?"

"Tsk."

Haihara Ai picked up the rabbit. As expected, she preferred staying in the research room to fighting directly.

But the special training was also her own choice. She wrote down some ideas in the notebook with her other hand that was not holding food. She planned to write down all the ideas and then slowly test them when she had the opportunity. Then she put away the notebook and started Have a meal.

The long period of special training made them both miss the once lively Moby Dick.

Training is boring and painful. Haiyuan Ai is not intolerant of loneliness, but she seldom puts her energy into such things that mainly consume physical strength. She is more accustomed to and prefers to use her brain, but she also knows it. She knew that it would be more difficult to survive in today's world without the ability to protect herself, but when Ace said that their special training could end, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Great."

Ace also stretched beside him to show his support: "It's been too long since I've seen Dad."

The two of them had just competed with each other, yes, competed with each other.

Haibara Ai's knowledge and skills have always been very good to some extent, but they are rarely used in combat.

At that time, it was not just Whitebeard who had an ominous premonition before what happened to Ace, but also her.

This in itself is a premonition of cognition. She has always been excellent in perception. Not to mention how much stronger her cognition has become during this special training, but just the fact that it can be integrated into daily combat can make her whole person. The level of difficulty has skyrocketed.

During the sparring session, Ace still did not use the flame state. Every time she made a move, there was a high probability that she would predict it in advance. Instead, she only used to dodge in the expected direction, and her armed domineering energy covered her sleeves. On the dagger, it was very advantageous for her to use the acceleration blessed with domineering to occasionally counterattack or escape. Ace had to spend some effort to restrain her as soon as possible.

Ace's progress is more obvious in the color of his weapons.

In the last half year, their diet shifted directly from the animals on the island to some fish in the nearby sea. Haibara Ai even ate a large Neptune-type fish stew, which was quite delicious.

That was when Ace himself drove the boat and said he wanted to try out the depth of the Neptune type. He didn't see the figure for a day. When he came back, he was dragging a huge Neptune type.

"I just used Haki after I bumped into him..." Ace also felt a little speechless. He was just on the island and didn't encounter anything difficult to defeat with just Haki. He thought of comparing it to Neptune. He didn't use the Devil Fruit's ability to try it out first, but he didn't expect that the King color alone would frighten the Neptune type into giving up. He could only strengthen his arms, pick up the tail of the big fish, throw it into the sky, and then jump He got up and his limbs were covered in armed colors, and then he punched the fish until it fainted and dragged it back.

"...But I feel that I have indeed improved a lot. I must practice well with Margao when I go back."

Hui Yuan Ai packed her luggage and glanced at him: "If you win, Margao can't say congratulations to you while abdicating and letting Xian run to compete with me for the position in the infirmary?"

"That's not true." Ace folded the tent together, stuffed the things into his bag, and touched his chin, "I can't do as detailed a job as Margao."

"The things he is busy with are not difficult." Haiyuan Ai pulled the rope on the bag, swung his hands and carried the bag behind his back, "It's just that you are so carefree in doing things that you feel like you can't do it. I didn't expect it. Some people actually fell asleep while eating and then ran away."

She thought about the time when she was replenishing food in the town. Ace fell asleep in the middle of eating in the restaurant. When he woke up, he ate a lot more, but then ran away after eating. She was caught in the restaurant and was caught. Ace, who was forced to wait until he remembered that someone else had forgotten to take him away, went back to redeem her behavior of Overlord Dinner, and couldn't help but complain.

"I thought no one with any brains could do something like you."

That time was probably the lowest point in Haiyuan Ai's life. She just wanted to go for a walk and walked with Ace all the time, so she didn't take her bag and simply threw all the money in Ace's hand without taking it herself.

So she was left as a "hostage" by the boss in the restaurant. If she hadn't looked at her small size, didn't talk like the kind of little bad guy who eats overlord meals, and kept explaining that her companions would pay when they came back, the boss of the restaurant at that time would have directly Twist her and send her to the Navy.

Ace laughed twice. The two of them had been training together for such a long time. Of course, he knew that Hui Yuan Ai was just a bit venomous and had no ill intentions. He didn't defend himself. He just picked up the bag behind Hui Yuan Ai's back and directly Run to their boat on the shore.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Hui Yuan Ai tugged the hair around her ears. After all, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes. She looked at the back of the figure running in front, raised her steps and followed him.

After the two of them got on the ship, Aila Haihara filled the sails, and Ace got into the operating room, put away the anchor, and sailed in the direction of the Moby Dick's permanent needle.

"I've been wandering around outside for two years. I wonder if dad's boat is going to be lively again."
