Opening: Devil Fruit can be upgraded

Area C No. 1 is a piece of land with a radius of 500 meters. It has a training ground in the center, an office to the south, a girls' dormitory to the west, a boys' dormitory to the east, and a small villa to the north, which belongs to the highest officer.

Although Rogge's fleet has male and female dormitories, there are not many girls, only two, Kuina and Tina, and now with Kemi, there are only three.

Therefore, Kuina and Tina changed the girls' dormitory into a small building similar to Rogge's, which made the male soldiers envious. But they could only envy him, because even their highest officer, Casta, lived in a single room of dozens of meters like them, and they did not dare to have too many demands or jealousy.

When Rogge came to his team, the male soldiers were training, and Casta was the instructor.

"Vice Admiral Roger of the Navy Headquarters, who is our next commander, once said,"The first step to learning swordsmanship is to hold the sword." Therefore, if you want to become an excellent swordsman, you must learn from the basics."

Casta spoke in front of the marines in a very serious manner, which made Roger, who happened to see this scene, secretly laugh.

"Report!"

"explain"

""Sir, what are the rules for holding a sword? Is the way we held the sword wrong before? If the way we held the sword is wrong, how should we correct it? What should we correct?"

A marine asked three questions in a row, which made Casta feel dizzy. He only remembered that Rogge had said to Miss Nami: holding the sword should be comfortable... women have less strength... holding the sword with both hands is more advantageous...

Casta was originally going to brag to the marine about what Rogge had said, but he didn't expect that the marine would draw inferences from his example and asked again and again, leaving him with no way to retreat. Just as

Casta's face was flushed and he didn't know what to do or explain, Rogge suddenly walked in from outside.

"The key to holding a sword is to be comfortable and smooth, so if you are used to the way you hold the sword, you don't need to force it to change, otherwise you may not make any progress, and instead forget the original feeling of swinging the sword.

The sword-holding teaching I mentioned before is only suitable for newcomers who have never learned the sword.

People who already have a certain foundation in swordsmanship don't need to worry about it.

In the future, Casda will have to use his own summary in teaching, don't copy it, because copying it won't produce an excellent swordsman.

"

Casda was surprised when he heard Rogge's voice, and then admired him. Now he felt embarrassed by Rogge's comments and nodded immediately,"I understand, Vice Admiral Rogge."

Rogge nodded, then turned to the marines and continued to talk about the unfinished question just now:"Then if you are a new swordsman, or you feel that your swordsmanship is not high, you can get rid of your original habits and try new sword-holding techniques to consolidate the foundation of swordsmanship. Reviewing the old and learning the new is the main way to improve swordsmanship."

""Excuse me, Vice Admiral Rogge, how can we learn these basics or consolidate them, and review them to learn new things?"

A Marine raised his hand excitedly, but forgot to report, which made Kasda dissatisfied:"Yi, have you forgotten military discipline? Shout to me now.……"

Kastar wanted to punish the marine named Yi by shouting"report" a hundred times, but he remembered that Rogge had returned and it was not his turn to make the decision on such matters, so he turned around and looked at Rogge.

Rogge waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

"My army does not have any strict requirements for marines. We only ask that when facing pirates, everyone should not forget that they are marines, and when facing civilians and companions, do not forget that they are neither pirates nor gangsters. Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

Rogge's words were very contagious, making all the marines excited.

"All right, then I will answer the question of this corporal Yi..."Rogge said, looking at Yi's rank and pausing,"Male soldiers are naturally much stronger than female soldiers, so my suggestion is to hold the knife with one hand, left-handed people use the left hand, and right-handed people use the right hand. As for why it is better to hold the knife with one hand, let me show you how to do it."

Rogge pulled out Xuezou, and then motioned to Casda to use the knife on him. Casda hesitated for a moment, and chopped with the knife - he chopped with both hands this time, because he was worried that he would be chopped away by Rogge's knife and it would be too ugly, so Casda used all his strength.

As a result, Rogge stepped back, and Casda fell down in an embarrassing manner.

The Marines couldn't help laughing, but they all knew that Casda was their superior, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Only a few people from Rogge's previous unit were whispering and laughing.

"This is one of the problems with holding a sword with two hands. It is not flexible. Of course, the inflexibility did not cause Lieutenant Colonel Kasda to fall like this. It's just that his center of gravity is unstable. This is one of the basics you have to practice. Otherwise, let alone the inflexible two-handed swordsman, even if you hold the sword with one hand, you will inevitably fall like Kasda."

""Hahahaha!"

Rogge said half-jokingly, and the marines finally couldn't help laughing.

Casta also got up embarrassedly and smiled to express his embarrassment.

"Go ahead, Kasda, this time you hold the sword with one hand, you are not good at using two hands."Rogge instructed

""Yes!"

After answering, Casda quickly drew his sword without caring whether it was a sneak attack or not. After all, in his mind, Rogge's strength was too strong.

Rogge also wielded the sword with one hand, blocking Casda's moves one by one. For a moment, it seemed that the two were evenly matched, but Rogge suddenly pressed back against Casda during a block. Casda knew that he was not strong enough and wanted to draw his sword and retreat, but Rogge's pressure was too strong. As long as he drew his sword, Rogge's sword would cut him in half.

Feeling the pressure, Casda took a step back based on his experience, then lowered his body to approach Rogge and punched Rogge in the face.

Bang!

Rogge caught Casda's hand, then turned to the marines and said,"One of the advantages of one-handedness is that you have one hand free for other attacks or blocking."

After that, Rogge twisted Casda's hand, turned him around, and then let him fall to the ground, and then pulled out his pistol.

Bang!

A shot was fired, and a hole was torn in Casda's coat by the bullet

"The second advantage is that you can use guns. Of course, this is similar to the first advantage, but the reason I mentioned it separately is to let you remember this fighting method. It can help you defeat some pirates who are stronger than you, and it can also help you win more easily and reduce the possibility of injury."

""Vice Admiral Rogge, isn't this too despicable?" a marine suddenly asked.

Rogge put away his gun, glanced at the marine calmly, and then said:"If the pirates fought with you like this, they would have died before you said it was despicable. Remember! Fighting is never despicable, there are only two results: victory and death! Being kind to your enemy is being cruel to yourself, understand!"

"clear!"
