NOVEL NEXT Chapter 41: Rapidly Increasing Experience Points
Gawain was slightly stunned.
The numbers for swordsmanship and physique are still normal.
After all, now that Kuro and Gin are seriously injured and cannot move normally, his only source of experience is the pirates in the pirate group, whose potential has not yet reached its limit.
It can be as many as a dozen, which can only be said to be better than nothing, and the overall gain is even getting smaller and smaller.
However, this was all within Gawain's expectations. What really surprised him was the Observation-Haki.
"There are only two people in the pirate group who have awakened their Observation-Haki. Gin is more seriously injured, so the only one left is Kuro, who has recovered faster."
"But."
"Kero can provide 33 points of experience in one day?"
"Even now, he is injured and in poor physical condition. Once he fully recovers, he will provide more experience."
Gawain opened the system panel:
[Host: Gawain]
[Age: 24]
[Identity: Captain of the White Knight Pirate]
Skill:
Swordsmanship: Level 5 (1171/1600 ) Swiftness
Physique: Level 5 (381/1600) Equilibrium
Navigation: Level 1 (13/100)
Pussyfoot Maneuver: Level 1 (3/200)
Observation Haki: Level 0 (33/500)
Badge:
Captain's Fury: Subordinates' physical strength recovery speed +20%.
Rising Fame: You can check the potential level of your subordinates.
[Rating: Bronze. You are a big shot, even in Paradise, but please keep your head down in the New World.]
During this period, the people who returned to Pala Island obviously did not give up their practice. Overall, their sword skills and physical strength grew by more than a hundred points of experience, respectively.
This was within Gawain's expectations, but what really surprised him was the Observation-Haki.
"The experience points required to upgrade to level 1 exceed the experience points required to upgrade physique to level 4?"
"It seems that even between abilities, there are differences in levels?"
Gawain frowned slightly. Although he was still confused, this was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.
After all, Haki would become prevalent in the New World, where strong people gather.
In the Four Seas and the Paradise, there are many people who practice swordsmanship and physical skills and even develop their devil fruit ability, but there are only a handful of people who truly master Haki.
"From this perspective, the experience points required for the subsequent Armament Haki and even Conqueror Haki will be even greater."
"But."
"Even at Kuro's current speed, it will only take me less than half a month to grow to Level 1, and then I can really put it into actual combat."
"After the two of them recover, my Physique and Pussyfoot Maneuver skills will begin to improve again."
"And the Armament Haki must also be arranged; otherwise, I will be too passive when facing a Logia devil fruit user."
Replaying the battle with Smoker, Gawain felt aggrieved.
In terms of hard power alone, he is undoubtedly superior to Smoker, but his Logia devil fruit directly invalidates his attacks.
He could only suppress Smoker by using super-fast thrusts and smashing him to pieces again and again.
If the next time he faces something with direct killing power like the flame or magma, he will probably only have the option of running away.
"Haki is a manifestation of the user's spirit. Everyone has it, but not everyone can awaken it."
"I already have the Observation-Haki, so can I apply the same knowledge to Armament Haki?"
With this thought in mind, the next day.
Gawain then entrusted the affairs of the pirate group to Jango and asked the Nyaban Brothers to take a group of recovered brothers to the sea area near Raven Harbor to strangle the pirates and maintain the safety of the route as promised.
He began to try to awaken the Armament Haki in his body.
It's one thing to say it, but it's another to do it.
After several days, Gawain did not get anything, and he had no clue at all.
A blind cat catches a dead mouse. Pure luck is enough to happen once.
Without anyone to guide him, Gawain's concept of Haki only stayed at a few posts he had read in his previous life.
That kind of stuff can't be said to be wrong, but it is ultimately just some outrageous talk, correct but useless, and cannot provide any help to Gawain now.
But.
Gawain had no idea what to do, but Gin and Kuro, on the other hand, gradually started to gain strength.
...
With the help of the Gawain badge's abilities, Gin's injuries recovered much faster than expected.
After just seven days, he took off the bandages on his body. Although many wounds were still covered with scabs, they no longer affected his normal movements.
Under Gawain and Kuro's influence, Gin also gradually began to practice.
Now, in the harbor, the sun was high above, scorching the earth, and the air on the surface was visibly distorted, and the chirping of cicadas all around made people even more restless.
All the pirates have returned to the shade to avoid the sun, but only Gin keeps punching the scraped pirate ship.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The bloody fist left one dent after another on the hull.
Under the stimulation of severe pain, Gin's mind was unusually clear.
This period of time.
As Gin got to know Gawain's pirate group better, he felt more and more empathetic towards Gawain's past experiences.
"He was once a benevolent captain who treated his subordinates the best. But when he was in danger, he was betrayed by his subordinates and had no choice but to draw his sword on them. Has his personality changed drastically since then?"
"No wonder Captain Gawain was able to put aside his prejudice and come to my rescue even though I was his enemy."
"It is because we have similar experiences that we can understand each other best."
Time passed slowly.
Bang!
When the last punch landed, Gin realized that the sun in the distance had already lost its last ray of light.
The pain from his fist also made him realize that his body had reached its limit.
If he continues, it may cause hidden injuries, which will not be worth the cost.
"Huh!"
Gin let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
Thinking of Gawain's fried rice, his heart was filled with something he had never felt before.
Nightfall.
After trying to awaken his own Armament Haki to no avail, Gawain returned to his room. Just when he was feeling depressed, a familiar prompt from the system came into his mind:
"Physique experience +127!"
"Swordsmanship experience +8!"
"Pussyfoot Maneuver experience +22"
"Observation-Haki experience +44!"
Gawain was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, his eyes widened:
"Physique experience increased by 127?!"
"Based on the recent rate, the experience points that others can provide are only a fraction of this."
"That is to say, Gin and Kuro provided about 120 points of Physique experience?!"
"Not to mention the Pussyfoot Maneuver and Observation-Haki!"
"The efficiency of these two people alone is enough to rival a large pirate group consisting of hundreds of people, and they can even last longer!"
"At this rate, in a month at most, will my physique be able to level up twice and reach Level 7? Even in half a year, I should be able to reach Level 10 and obtain the second feature."
"As expected, a crew member with great potential can provide experience equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of small fry."
"The talent gap between individuals in this world is completely unreasonable."
