Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 35
After the Pokémon ability, the original skills will gradually awaken with the progress of the user’s “fruit development,” and Arceus can accelerate this process or allow them to learn some of their own that can not be learned and need to be mastered through the stance machine to master the skills.
The sword dance is this type, compared to those original damage skills. In this real world, the battle is not a turn-based game. There is no specific damage value. The inherent strengthening of their attack power is the most effective thing.
If the sword dance type of skills can be taught on a wide scale, then the style of the Beast’s future may change dramatically, while other pirate group’s cadres are talking tough before battle, the Beast’s people are dancing in a group.
Of course, this is an exaggeration. Teaching sword dance is not hand in hand with the other side of the ballroom dance. The purity of the stone plate appeared a belong to the Arceus power in Shaina’s mind.
Then, her mind entered a special space, and a phantom like herself appeared. The phantom mechanically repeated action and the way the power operated was also displayed in front of her.
This is a special learning space. Everything here has nothing to do with the outside world. When Arceus teaches a certain skill alone, his thoughts will be pulled into this space. This is the power he regained after part of his power was restored by the evil face tablet.
Otherwise, he should have taught them some new skills a long time ago. This teaching method will consume part of his power, only that the loss is lower than directly transforming the evil demonic fruits.
It can only be used when imparting skills, not as a training space, the power of time and space that he only mastered in his heyday.
Shaina needed to find out how long she had been studying. When she opened her own eyes again, the sun had already climbed above the sea horizon, and the morning sun was shining on the deck.
It had been a night when Arceus had called her out, and by the looks of things, at least seven hours had passed, but it seemed to her memory that she had been studying for a full seven days.
“How about showing me the effects of the sword dance.”
The learning process would only end under two circumstances: learning the skill or the outside body automatically detaching itself when it reached its limit, and with the Lunaria’s physique, seven hours would never be enough to reach its limit, so Shaina was bound to have mastered the skill.
“Yes.”
The body followed the memorized actions. Several sword-shaped shadows appeared around the body’s surface and merged into the body again. The whole stage took about seven seconds.
“Do you feel anything?”
“You can’t do anything else with your body during the sword dance, or else you’ll be broken, but I think it’s because I’m not familiar enough with it, and if I get more familiar with it, I’ll be able to solve this problem.”
This is a small problem that she noticed during the use. It can be said that it has the same effect as the iron block; normal people can’t move their bodies when they use the iron block, but those who are skillful enough will be able to move while keeping the iron block in the same state.
The shadow that appears on the outside of the body when the sword dance is released is also a type of “qi,” and if it’s done properly, this qi should be able to be combined with the outwardly released martial arts-colored aura to form a special form of defense.
Fruity ability combined with aura is a very reasonable way to develop moves.
The Learning Space was only responsible for letting them learn, and it was up to them to familiarize themselves with the skills.
“What about the effect.”
Sword Dance: the level of physical attack is increased by 2, but the concept of what this increase of 2 is is not clear, and Shaina herself is also unclear.
“This. Sacred Beast-sama, I’m not sure either. Why don’t you let Queen help?”
She could feel an increase in power, but she didn’t know the exact effect. The Marines and the World Government did have a way to test the power of the Dao, but none of the pirates knew how to do that.
Why Queen? Because Queen had fought an unenhanced Shaina once, he could feel the change better.
“You go find him. Ashes should be finished soon.”
On the side, Ashes was also in such a state, obviously learning other skills.
Queen, who had just woken up from his nap, was greeted with his first piece of bad news of the morning, as he was asked to judge the percentage of an increase due to the mastery of a new skill.
At first, he protested. He demanded equal status as a ship’s doctor, scientist, helmsman, navigator, and fighter.
Arceus thought he had a point that we were all on the same ship and couldn’t afford to be too discriminating. Hence, he used the hypnotic harvesting properties to accelerate the growth of his bananas to get Queen to agree to this quite voluntarily.
“Come on, I’m ready, no face punches, no ruining my handsome face!”
“Queen, old man, watch the smile. A handsome face needs a smile.” Asier, who had gotten acquainted with Queen, had reached a consensus on how handsome he was.
Though physically older, both Asier and Olga chose to ignore the hundred years they spent in the belly of the Sea King, or else Kaido would have to call Olga an old woman.
“Lord Beast, can I kick them both overboard?”
“Calm down and pay attention. Asier can’t take a kick from you, Queen can’t swim, and you’ll have to rescue him if he does fall.”
Half of this boat was filled with ability users. Although Asier and Olga could swim, they obviously couldn’t drag Queen’s size, and the same could be said for Elizabeth.
If Queen fell overboard and Arceus didn’t help, Shaina would have to get him out herself.
“Hey! You woman, don’t kick me! Kick here. This hand of mine is made of special metal. Last time you kicked on this, the changes to contrast the results. Are you trying to use me as a dynamometer!”
Queen sensed Shaina’s desire for a personal vendetta. After months of sailing, Asuka was fine, though she would have squeezed him verbally, but not in her actions.
But Shaina held a grudge; this was a chance to make it personal.
The next step was to set the limits of her attacks as a better test.
Her abilities were enhanced, but Shaina hit him with more damage. He thought it was because the plant-constructed feathers feared the flames and planned to do a new round of transformation on himself.
Shaina didn’t miss the kick, but even so, Queen felt his shoulder nearly dislocate.
“According to the degree of metal deformation, the power of your kick is about 65% stronger than before. What a strong increase. How long will this state of yours last?”
“About half an hour or so, but the consumption isn’t great, so the duration doesn’t have any effect.”
At this time, Ashes had also finished his learning process, and the ship began experimenting with skills. Only the new skills that Ashes had mastered were different from Shaina’s.
