Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

"Um...where am I...?"

When Luo Yan opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying in a dim room. There was only a not-too-bright oil lamp lit on the table. He followed the light and looked outside the room. He could vaguely see a rickety figure sleeping in a dark room. Cook something.

This picture inevitably reminds people of some bad scenes, and the same goes for Luo Yan. He subconsciously groped around, hoping to find something handy to use as a weapon.

It's a pity that his room is too simple. Apart from a floor bunk, there are no props that can be used as weapons.

At this time, the movement in the room also attracted the other party's attention. When the figure walked into the candlelight, Luo Yan saw clearly the other party's appearance. He was an elderly man.

"Are you awake? You can still survive such a serious injury. Your kid's physical fitness is not bad."

With that said, the old man handed a porcelain bowl to Luo Yan, which contained steaming soup.

But Luo Yan did not take the porcelain bowl, but looked at the other person warily.

"Don't worry, this is my residence. It's not far from the pirate ship you boarded. I found you lying near the deck and brought you back."

Although the old man spoke very casually, Luo Yan did not completely trust his words.

Under the illumination of candlelight, Luo Yan discovered that one of the old man's sleeves was empty, and the other leg made a different sound when it stepped on the ground. It seemed to be a prosthetic leg made of something.

With a body like this that can't even move easily, how could he possibly run to a pirate ship and bring himself back unconscious?

Realizing that Luo Yan was looking at him warily, the old man shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's a good thing for young people to be wary, but I really don't have any ill intentions towards you. It should be said... you remind me of my youth, that's why I saved you."

"..."

Luo Yan looked at the old man in front of him, then looked down at the soup in the bowl. There was an inconspicuous sound in his stomach. Although he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, Luo Yan was already very hungry.

"There is a Devil Fruit, so you won't be poisoned, right?"

With this thought, Luo Yan took the bowl from the old man's hand and slowly drank the hot soup.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Luo Yan finally felt like he had regained some strength, and the pain in his body was also gradually weakening.

"It's amazing. Eating food can have such a strong recovery effect?"

Luo Yan looked at his body in disbelief, or was it the effect of this bowl of soup?

Seeing this, the old man silently took away the empty bowl in Luo Yan's hand and continued to help him fill a bowl.After the initial taste, Luo Yan already believed that there was nothing wrong with the soup and drank it without any hesitation.

He drank until his stomach felt full, and then he wiped the corners of his mouth with unfulfilled satisfaction.

"……thanks."

Recalling that he had heard the language of the islanders before, Luo Yan tried to speak two notes.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"It's just a small thing, no need to thank you."

At this time, Luo Yan no longer doubted that the old man would be harmful to him, because judging from the bandages on his body, the other party not only brought him back from the pirate ship, but even changed his medicine. Judging from the old man's condition, it can be imagined that It was so difficult, so Luo Yan admired the old man.

"Back then, I was just like you... I was also a stupid young man who hated evil. Later, in order to eliminate pirates, I chose to go to sea and become a pirate hunter. But... you can also see what I look like now. Not only was he hacked I lost an arm and a leg, and also suffered from stubborn diseases, and I am still surviving until now."

The old man seemed to be nostalgic for the past, and his eyes seemed to be in a trance unconsciously.

Luo Yan stared blankly at the rickety old man in front of him who was less than half his waist high. He was indeed a man beyond his appearance. Who would have thought that such an old man could have been a pirate hunter?

After a while, the old man woke up from his memories and looked up at Luo Yan:

"That strange feeling on your body must be a devil fruit, right?"

"……Um."

Luo Yan nodded, not surprised that the old man could recognize the Devil Fruit. Although this thing is rumored to exist, many people have heard of it, let alone a pirate hunter who has been wandering at sea all year round.

Seeing Luo Yan admit it, the old man was not surprised. He stroked his beard and said:

"I don't know much about Devil Fruits, so I can't give you much help in this regard. But looking at the way you fight, you are running around without any structure. It seems that you haven't learned any special fighting methods. Do you want to Will I teach you?"

"!!!"

There was a hint of surprise in Luo Yan's eyes. Now he was having a headache about where to go to improve his strength. Unexpectedly, he met someone on the island who could teach him.

Luo Yan immediately stopped hesitating and said sincerely:

"...please...teach me...to fight!"

"Haha, okay, let's start training after your injury has fully recovered in a few days. But let me tell you in advance, my training method is very strict. If you can't stand it, it's best to give up early."

"……I will not give up!"

Although Luo Yan's tone was not very skillful, the old man still heard his determination and nodded with a smile. With such a heart, no matter what he does in the future, he will be more likely to succeed.

……

half a month later.

In the old man's yard, Luo Yan held the knife in both hands and kept changing his attacking posture. Finally, he slowly sheathed the knife and took a deep breath.

The old man watched the whole process, and only then came over and said:

"Your talent is more outstanding than I thought. I didn't expect to adapt to the way of using a knife so quickly. I can teach you some more complicated things next."

"Also ask the teacher to enlighten me!"

After this period of practice, Luo Yan was finally able to communicate with others normally. Although he was still a little unskilled, at least he didn't have to pretend to be mute like before.

The old man stretched out his remaining arm, and upon seeing this, Luo Yan quickly presented the knife.

After the old man took it, he said to Luo Yan:

"In this sea, in addition to Devil Fruit, there is also a very unique power system, and that is - Haki!"

As he spoke, the long knife in the old man's hand was suddenly stained with a less obvious layer of black.But Luo Yan could vaguely feel that this knife had a completely different feeling from what it had given him before.

"Domineering?"

This is a term that Luo Yan has never heard of. Has it ever appeared in the original pirate plot?Or is it something that appeared in the chapter after the war on the top?

If that's the case, Luo Yan has really never seen it.

"Haki is generally divided into two types, the 'armed color' that strengthens attacks and the 'wisdom color' that dodges attacks. Both of these two types of haqi are necessary skills for strong men on the sea."

The old man handed the knife to Luo Yan, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead. It seemed that just to demonstrate to Luo Yan, he had already consumed a lot of energy.

"Although Devil Fruits are powerful, you still need to be careful when facing enemies with Haki. For example, users with natural Devil Fruit abilities will be injured by armed Haki."
