nIf You Don’t Have Some Crisis Awareness, You Will Fail

n“Physical skills?”

nZephyr was stunned. He looked Kuro up and down and said:

n“I say, you little brat, although I don’t agree with specialization, it’s impossible to develop in all aspects. Human energy is limited, even ‘monsters’ can’t do everything.”

nAmong the Marines that Zephyra taught, although Hernando was hailed as his successor, the real monster was not him.

nSakasugi, Polusalino, and Kuzan are the real monsters.

nBody techniques, swordsmanship, and fruit abilities are all top-notch. Even so, they have their own shortcomings.

nThe most powerful abilities of the three generals are their fruit abilities.

nIn other aspects, Borusalino is better at swordsmanship.

nKuzan is better at body techniques.

nSakasugi is more versatile and his swordsmanship and physical skills are good, but he has not used a sword for a long time.

nIn Zephyra’s opinion, this kid, Kuro, will definitely be the enhanced version of Polusalino’s swordsmanship in the future.

nHe was good at reading people. Through Kuro’s previous attack on Hernando, he roughly understood Kuro’s general combat power.

nHis swordsmanship is absolutely top-notch.

nAs for the ability of the fruit, although the time it took to kill Shiki was very short, from his use, it was not inferior to the golden-haired lion.

nThe only shortcoming is body techniques.

nBut this so-called shortcoming of body technique is already quite good from Zephyr’s point of view.

nLittle Crane said that he had not systematically learned the ‘Six Styles’, but looking at the posture and aura, the Six Styles have clearly been integrated into it. He should have seen whose Six Styles and pushed it out himself.

nThis talent is enough to make people marvel.

nIn terms of the degree of dominance of body techniques, it should be the “external release” of hardening, entanglement, externalization, and internal destruction, which is the elementary application of “Sakura”.

nHowever, swordsmanship and body techniques are actually the same. It is enough. It is impossible for human energy to take care of three things at the same time. It is also impossible to not be a human. It is not like there are no domineering animals on the Grand Line.

nAnd Kuro is so young. In the future, his strength will continue to rise. The Haki control technique of Body Art will sooner or later reach ‘Internal Destruction’.

nMoreover, his Haki content… is not low.

nThis is a monster that has surpassed the Admiral Substitute and is only a distance away from the Admiral.

nAnd this monster is only 24 years old this year…

nIn all the years he has lived, the only person so far who can be compared to Kuro in his youth may be Charlotte Ling Ling in her youth.

nAfter all, that was an existence that could kill a giant at the age of five.

nBody techniques, sword techniques, and fruit abilities. When the time comes, he will become the top batch, which is the talent of a general!

nZephyra pursed her lips and sighed in her heart. Polusalino has a good subordinate. When that monkey retires, this Kuro can take over.

nShaking his head and throwing his thoughts away, Zephyra continued, “Now, just focus on your swordsmanship. With your strength, you can surpass Mihawk in the future. At that time, the world’s number one swordsman will appear in our Marine.”

nThe cultivation system in the Marine is just swordsmanship and body techniques. The fruit ability is purely developed by oneself and no one can teach it.

nIn terms of body techniques, with the huge foundation of the Marine and World Government, they created the peak of the body technique, ‘Six Forms’.

nBut in terms of swordsmanship, there are too many swordsmanship freaks on the sea. It is purely based on talent. In this aspect, Marines can’t fight against the whole world.

nAnd now, out of all the people who are qualified to surpass Mihawk, only this little Kuro can do it.

nListening to Zephyra, Kuro pursed his lips.

nThe number one swordsman in the world?

n“A general?”

nIf you weren’t a former Admiral and the teacher of all the Marine monsters, I would have attacked you long ago.

nKuro shook his head frantically and pinched his thumb and index finger. “Mr. Zephyr, you flatter me. My swordsmanship is passed down from my family. It’s just a little achievement.”

n“Moreover, it’s not a matter of whether he has any achievements in swordsmanship. It’s just that he’s very special and his whole body can be filled with that kind of airflow or lightning. Unfortunately, the physique of that person at that time was different from mine. I couldn’t see how he did it.”

nKuro tried to describe it as tactfully as possible.

nHe can’t say, old man, I went to the New World and fought with Kaido. I envy Kaido’s high-level Armament Haki defense. You better teach me so that I won’t be killed.

nKuro had roamed the sea for so many years. He envied two people.

nHis grandfather was not counted. He was envious of the fruit of others, not himself.

nOne of them is Kaido, an unkillable monster, full of high-level Armament Haki.

nOne of them was Charlotte Lingling, from Maverick to Big. She wasn’t called ‘Steel Balloon’ for nothing.

nAs for the redhead…

nThe Mountain Bandit King can kill 56 of them, what is there to be envious of?

n‘Whitebeard?’

nDead!

n“Filled with air currents or lightning?” Zephyra was stunned.

nWhat he said, Zephyr understood, was the unified use of Armament Haki.

nHardening, entanglement, externality, and internal destruction are all concentrated and used. It is the highest level of Armament Haki application. This is something that Kuro knows. Zephyr can see it, but what he knows is swordsmanship.

nNow, is he dissatisfied with his body technique?

n“Oh? So unsatisfied with the status quo, what are you worried about, Luciru Kuro.” Zephyr laughed.

nThis brat is already strong enough.

n“There are many things to worry about.”

nKuro said matter-of-factly, “Mr. Zephyr, look, I just got the fruit and my ability is not good. Compared with others’ attainments, the gap is too big.

n“My swordsmanship is not good enough to defeat Shichibukai, and my body technique is even worse. I may be seriously injured if someone touches me. The sea is so dangerous, of course I have to worry.” Kuro said matter-of-factly.

nZephyra was speechless.

nWhat you said seems to make sense, but why does it sound wrong?

nIf you are not good at it, then are the strong people on the sea really strong?

nIf Kuro knew, he would definitely say that it was really strong.

nAfter all, some strong people are superhumans, and who knows what kind of things can come out of their abilities.

nKuro sincerely felt that he could not do it.

nHe is a very good person in Relativism. To compare, he must be the safest person in the sea.

nThe Three Generals are very safe, but in terms of ability, Kuro can’t keep up.

nMihawk is the safest in swordsmanship. He is Shichibukai, so Kuro can’t beat Shichibukai.

nIn terms of physical skills, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling were the safest, and he was even more incomparable.

nBesides, it would be safe to surpass them?

nWasn’t this old man in front of him very strong back then? Didn’t he still fail?

nThe lesson is here.

nIf he was satisfied with the current situation, he would not be able to live if some strange ability user got him.

nHe can’t also break a hand and then go to Marien Van Do to give his cloak to a young Marine and tell him that he is waiting for him in East Blue, right?

nIf you don’t have any crisis awareness, sooner or later you will fail.

nThe person in front of him could not be missed.

n“Mr. Zephyr, about body techniques…”

nKuro stood up, moved his hands and feet, and said in a trembling voice, “Please enlighten me!”

nThis brat is serious?

nZephyra looked at him and the smile on her lips widened. “Someone like you is still willing to look for an old guy like me to teach you? How rare.”

nThe reason why Zephyra doesn’t teach now is that after he lost an arm, coupled with his old age and illness, his strength has declined and he can’t lead new recruits.

nHe also did not want to suffer the same pain as seven years ago.

nBut teaching someone who is a monster in the first place is not something to worry about.

n“That’s good. If an old guy like me is useful, you can try it. Just looking at it, you can’t find some drawbacks.”

nZephyra stood up and stretched his limbs. He raised his robotic arm and smiled. “Do you mind if I use some props?”

n
