Chapter 87: I'm Still Too Soft-Hearted
So far, Gawain could no longer sit still, so he opened the window and jumped into the harbor.
Originally, he wanted to try it here to see what he could achieve after the awakening of the Harmony feature.
But he suddenly remembered the tragic scene when he was testing his ability in the harbor after getting his Flash Step.
Gawain's face turned red; he touched his nose with his hand and disappeared into the harbor.
A few minutes later.
Gawain appeared behind Pala Island, on the stone platform where he practiced daily.
Clang!
Guanze Masamune is unsheathed.
Gawain began to practice his swordsmanship and get familiar with his body after awakening the Harmony feature.
His every move, accompanied by the silver light of his sword, flicker in the air.
All those sword skills that had helped Gawain kill many opponents were used one by one.
Originally, in Gawain's opinion, these moves were mature enough and almost perfect.
But now that he had awakened the Harmony feature and had perfect control over his body, the flaws hidden in Gawain's sword moves began to slowly emerge.
The slight incoordination in the way of exerting force, the subtle injuries left by mobilizing the muscles of the whole body...
As the hidden problems in swordsmanship were discovered one by one, Gawain optimized them.
His movements became more and more coordinated, without any sense of obstruction.
Smooth! Comfortable!
In fact, the more he practiced, the more excited he became, and he moved without the slightest trace of fatigue.
As the night passed, in terms of his moves alone, Gawain can almost be said to have been reborn.
If he were simply exchanging sword moves with others, or he were to meet his former self, he would be confident that he could win within ten moves.
"The feeling of watching my swordsmanship gradually improve is truly intoxicating."
"Continue!"
After saying this, Gawain continued to perfect his sword moves, not noticing that there was a slender figure standing there quietly for a long time in the distance.
As the sun gradually rose from the sea, the golden rays of light fell on Gawain.
Combined with his already strong body, he actually looked a bit divine.
Nami, who was holding the bamboo sword, was slightly startled while looking at Gawain's sweaty body and said: "Captain, you practiced here all day yesterday?"
Gawain, who was swinging the sword, stopped what he was doing, turned around, and saw that the person coming was Nami. He skipped Nami's question and said lightly: "You've come just in time. Today's sword training begins!"
"Understood!"
That night, the news that Captain Gawain had been training all night without telling anyone spread throughout the entire Pala Island, and the four liver kings cried out that they had been deceived.
"That bastard captain is so cunning."
"He told us to take care of our bodies and have a regular daily routine. Otherwise, it's easy to get injured, but he's working around the clock?"
Sanji gritted his teeth and secretly decided to give himself a few extra hours tonight.
He has to be ambitious. These beasts around him are more outrageous than each other. If they continue like this, how can he enter the Hall of Fame?
Pooh!
It's to recruit beautiful chefs!
"Oh!"
Thinking about the days of being surrounded by a group of beautiful chefs, Sanji's body, which was already on the verge of its limit, once again burst out with unprecedented strength.
His legs were swinging wildly in the air, leaving afterimages.
Kuro, on the side, his mouth couldn't help but twitch: "Heh, I should have known that. After all, he's the one who would destroy the harbor floor just to stop us from training."
"Despicable! So despicable!"
Zoro gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and added a few more weights to himself.
Veins bulge on his arms, but he refuses to compromise at all.
After all, it's a matter of keeping one's name forever. Who would want to be inferior to others?
Time flies, and it is late at night.
Most of the people on Pala Island have returned to their rooms to rest, and only the training room is brightly lit.
Gawain looked at the system prompts, which showed a slight increase in experience points, and smiled from ear to ear.
"The next step is to wait for the swordsmanship to reach Level 10 and unlock new entries."
Gawain looked at the system panel with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
As rumors spread that Gawain was secretly training without anyone's knowledge, the atmosphere in White Knight Pirate reached a new level.
Every day, unlucky people fall down because of excessive practice.
Not only are they despised by everyone, but they also have to say goodbye to their right to dividends.
For a while, Gawain looked at the group of pirates lying in the infirmary and began to doubt whether he had gone too far.
It wasn't until he heard these bastards talking about him behind his back that the last bit of sympathy in his heart disappeared.
"What's wrong with you? I've been training like this from nine to five for the past few months. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Being a captain is also difficult!"
Gawain was confused for a moment and asked Jango to bring back a batch of medical supplies to prevent any loss of life.
Then he turned around and left while muttering: "Don't blame me; you chose it yourself."
"Um."
"Yes, I am too soft-hearted."
After dispelling the last bit of worry in his mind, Gawain directly devoted all his energy to the practice of Armament Haki.
As he became more proficient in the mastery of Armament Haki, the efficiency of his practice also improved significantly.
The amount of experience points that can be gained in a day has increased from the initial eight or nine points to fifteen or sixteen points.
Although the experience provided to him was not of the same order of magnitude as that of the other skills, it almost shortened his time.
Besides, there is no other way to obtain Armament Haki's experience points except for him to practice on his own.
Even Kuro, who is currently the strongest among them, has a combat power of only Bronze level but specializes in speed.
But what is required to awaken the Armament Haki is actually a strong physique.
According to Gawain's speculation, it would take at least half a year and a series of difficult battles for these high-quality leeks to awaken their Armament Haki.
Fortunately, Gawain could afford to wait for this period of time, and after entering the Grand Line, there was no shortage of evenly matched battles.
A few days later, late at night.
Gawain had already completed today's training, changed his clothes, and sat at the desk, waiting for the settlement of today's experience.
The familiar system panel unfolded before his eyes:
[Host: Gawain]

The experience required for swordsmanship has already reached its limit.
Just by harvesting this wave tonight, he can reach Level 10 and unlock a new feature soon.
At this time, the familiar system prompt sounded in Gawain's mind:
"Physique experience +713!"
"Swordsmanship experience +534!"
"Pussyfoot Maneuver experience +66"
"Observation-Haki experience +99!"
"Armament Haki experience +16!"
