Pirates: My crew is fierce

"Haha, you're definitely not going to die."

The old man laughed softly.

At the moment when the laughter fell, the old man raised his hand holding the wooden stick.

The next moment.

It was like a flying sword coming out of its sheath, bringing a long wind sound in the air. In the blink of an eye, the rapidly flying wooden stick had already reached the blindfolded young man.

"Sure enough, this 'sinister' old guy is here again!"

Obviously, this scene in front of him is not the first time. Although he did not take off the black scarf covering his eyes, Xia En has been on guard when chatting with the old man. As for why he is so skilled, hey, I won't say much, it's all bloody lessons learned throughout the day.

When the whistling sound was getting closer and closer, and the sharpness of the stick head was transmitted to the surface of the skin, Xia En sat still, but his head tilted slightly to one side.

The sharp feeling suddenly disappeared. At the same time, Shane suddenly stretched out his right hand. Although he covered his eyes, he seemed to be able to see. He firmly grasped the wooden stick that passed by his head.

Feeling that he had firmly grasped something, a look of joy suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shane took off the black scarf.

What caught his eye was the blood-stained wooden stick in his hand, dark red, thick layer, all of which was his blood.

He turned his head and looked at the place where he had just sat in the courtyard. Similarly, it was all scarlet.

Shane took a breath of cold air. He knew that he had not been able to avoid Rayleigh's stick all day long. He must have been beaten badly, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. If someone who didn't know came and saw the blood on the ground, he would probably think that pigs were being slaughtered here.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man who was looking at him with a smile:

"You old man, aren't you afraid of beating me to death?"

Hearing this, Rayleigh did not feel any guilt. He took out a mirror from somewhere and threw it to Shane.

"Brother Shane, your body may be much stronger than you think."

Shane took the mirror and saw his embarrassed self in the mirror.

He was covered in dirt, his clothes were stained with blood, and his body was covered with scars. Judging from the injuries, it should not only be caused by being hit by a wooden stick, but also by the abrasions caused by friction with the ground after being knocked away, and the scratches caused by passing through the grass and flowers.

If an ordinary person suffered so many wounds at the same time, he would have become a bloody man by now.

But Shane was completely different. After his wound was torn, the blood came out in less than a while, and his skin immediately recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just like the wound on Shane's face that had just been in close contact with the earth, it has recovered in less than a few minutes.

After wiping off the blood, the skin was smooth and as if it was new.

Shane was shocked.

Rayleigh didn't seem particularly surprised. After all, he had traveled around the world with Roger and had seen monsters with extraordinary talents like Kaido and Big Mom. Compared with them, Shane's performance was nothing.

The only thing that made him a little curious was whether Kagura, who had similar hair color and stronger physical fitness as Shane and had a certain close connection with him, also had this innate physical talent like him?

...

As dusk approached, Rayleigh was ready to leave.

Although he had placed the Straw Hat Pirates' ship at Shipyard No. 53 for care, he was worried that he would encounter any accidents if he left for too long, so he had to rush back before dark.

Having said that, Shane didn't ask him to stay for dinner.

"Then I'll come again tomorrow at noon." After saying that, Rayleigh walked away while drinking from his wine jug.

Shane didn't get up to say goodbye because he was too tired.

Last night, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Then he got up early in the morning to wait for the summoning of new characters. Just after the summoning, Rayleigh came, and then he spent nearly a whole day training in domineering.

He was now hungry, tired and sleepy.

"Check the character panel."

[Character: Shane]

[Age: 24]

[Race: Human (91%), Night Rabbit (5%), Elf (4%)]

[Ability: Domineering Haki·Awakening (17.06%), Fire Elemental Power·Mastery (14.39%), Observation Haki·Awakening (1.07%), Armament Haki·Awakening (0.35%)]

After a hard day of training, Shane smiled sincerely when he saw the two new abilities added behind the ability column.

More importantly, after seeing the changes in the data in the ability column, he finally figured out the difference between [Awakening] and [Mastery] behind the ability.

[Awakening] is the previous stage of [Mastering]. If the ability is in the [Awakening] state, it means that he is still learning and cannot actively use it. After [Mastering], he can use it easily.

It's like he is summoning KleeAfter that, he mastered the fire elemental power.

"Chi Chi!"

The young man leaning against the tree stretched out his right hand, and his mind moved slightly. The air suddenly became hot, and the red energy was attracted by something and continued to gather towards the palm of his hand.

Until it condensed into a ball of fire the size of a football.

Xia En felt the temperature of the flame in his hand, which was extremely hot, burning the air, more violent than natural flames, as if it would explode if he took his hand away.

However, this violent flame seemed to be a part of his body. It was clearly burning in his palm, but he only felt a warmth.

What surprised him even more was that with his mind control, the flame in his hand could move freely, leave his palm, and sway around him at a flickering speed within a few meters, like a ball of ghost fire.

And when it was about fifteen meters away from himself, the sense of control as if driven by an arm suddenly disappeared.

The flame suddenly stagnated, and then the body suddenly expanded, like a balloon that was inflated too much, and burst with a bang.

"Boom--"

With a bang, the flame suspended in the air exploded, like a bomb wrapped in flames, blowing up the air, black smoke billowing, and a black pit several meters in size sunken on the ground.

"Fireball?"

Looking at the black pit caused by the explosion on the ground more than ten meters away, Xia En was stunned, and inexplicably remembered the traditional skills of the mage in the game he played in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Xia En's mind became active.

"Since the fireball technique is OK, then..."

Xia En suddenly took a deep breath, put his hands in front of his mouth in a trumpet shape, and mobilized the fire elemental power of his whole body with his mind, and released it all at once as he exhaled.

"Fire escape, great fireball technique!"

A swift breath of flame gushed out of his mouth, cone-shaped, five or six meters long, and the hot flames baked the air and the ground like a flamethrower.

The air was boiling, the grass was also burned, and gradually turned black.

"Cough... cough!"

But after spitting for five or six seconds, the cone of flames suddenly stopped, and Shane's face turned pale, and he coughed breathlessly.

"It actually worked, and the effect is almost the same as the original!"

Although his face was ugly, Shane's dusty and tired face revealed surprise, as happy as a child who got candy.
