One Piece Dragon King - Chapter 35
Hals looked at the two old men with some confusion.
Personally, he felt that Zephyr couldn’t teach him much.
Hals figured that in the future, techniques like the Six Powers would be improved through his body’s attribute points, similar to magic.
As for his physical attributes, they would naturally improve through training in body techniques.
He didn’t really need Zephyr’s help.
However, since Zephyr was a former Admiral, he should have given him some respect.
“Alright, Garp, I’ll take a look at your grandson. Happy now?”
Zephyr brushed off Garp’s hand with some disdain.
“Hals, come over here. I found you a great teacher,” Garp called.
Respecting his grandfather, Hals walked over.
After thinking for a moment, Hals realized Zephyr could teach him combat experience.
And until he learned [Soru], he needed his own footwork to dodge attacks.
Yeah, that would work.
Garp spoke briefly with the training instructor, who was a Marine officer injured too badly to continue fighting, excusing Hals from this class.
“Hello, Instructor Zephyr.”
“You’re a good kid,” Zephyr said, his purple hair shimmering. He observed Hals, noting his muscular build. Despite a slender frame, his muscles were strong even when relaxed.
“By the way, your grandfather mentioned you have abilities. Show me.”
Hals nodded.
Of course, he wouldn’t transform here.
Otherwise, losing his clothes would be embarrassing.
“Water Magic: Water Arrow!”
There was no water source nearby, and Hals didn’t want to use one. He formed a water arrow with his magic. With his recent rigorous training, the water arrow was larger.
Hals threw it to the ground. The arrow exploded, creating a large crater and wetting the area.
“An impressive ability. This kind of water-based attack can have unexpected effects against other ability users. But remember, your body is most important. Using your Devil Fruit power still depends on your stamina.”
I use magic.
But Hals didn’t bother explaining this to Zephyr.
Zephyr just wanted to ensure Hals didn’t rely solely on his Devil Fruit and neglect physical training.
“Water Magic: Water Blade!”
A long blade appeared in Hals’ hand. He slashed the ground, leaving a deep cut.
“This is good. But you should also learn swordsmanship to enhance your attacks.”
Hals suddenly remembered the long sword he had broken on a deserted island.
He didn’t say anything but nodded.
There wasn’t much need. He preferred focusing on martial arts and magic.
“What about transforming into a dragon?”
Zephyr had never seen a dragon and was curious.
“If I do that… my clothes will burst.”
Zephyr: “………..”
Let’s find a special place first.
Zephyr and Garp took Hals to a special courtyard. Sometimes, the Marines produced geniuses, and these courtyards were for their special training.
The walls were six meters high and made of thick steel plates, which were hard to break through.
With just the two old men present, Hals felt no discomfort and took off his clothes, placing them aside.
“Dragon Transformation!”
Hals’ body enlarged. Golden scales grew on his skin, and large dragon wings sprouted from his shoulder blades.
His hands became dragon claws, and golden dragon horns grew on his head, looking majestic.
Ten meters tall.
The two old men looked up, but the blinding sunlight made it uncomfortable.
“Negative emotions from Garp +10000”
“Negative emotions from Zephyr +10000”
…………
This was the sun’s fault.
“Can’t you make it smaller?”
“No.”
Hals shook his head helplessly.
However, he could use a partial dragon transformation.
Hals adjusted himself.
His height dropped to three meters.
His skin turned into dragon scales, wings sprouted from his back, and horns grew on his head, but he remained humanoid.
This increased his physical and spiritual strength by only three times.
“It shrank a lot.”
Garp commented.
It decreased by seven meters.
Zephyr nodded approvingly.
“It looks good.”
“Use your full strength to attack the wall.”
Hals nodded and punched the steel wall.
“Boom!”
A massive fist imprint appeared.
Due to his constant potion consumption and training, Hals’ attributes had significantly improved.
Body: 34
Spirit: 32
Blood: Magic Dragon (can master all magic) [Dragon Meditation·Basic] [Dragon Body Training·Basic]
Negative Emotions Value: 421790
Magic: Water System Level 1
Strength tripled, making it about 1020 Doriki.
Of course, he might not always exert this much power, but it was close.
The steel wall showed a massive fist imprint, and Zephyr blinked.
“This punch has at least 1000 Doriki. Not bad.”
Not only Zephyr was surprised, but Garp was also shocked.
Hals didn’t know Zephyr’s personality before his appearance in the movie, but now he seemed stable.
Garp’s eyes widened.
“What’s wrong?”
Hals felt uneasy.
“Nothing. Hals, you did well.”
Zephyr calmly nodded, deciding to train Hals to become a Marine Admiral. He had the potential.
“You’ll be my disciple from now on.”
“Yes, Instructor Zephyr.”
Garp had brought Zephyr over, so he had no objections.
“Hit the wall with your full beast transformation again,” Zephyr said. “But aim at a different spot that looks less damaged.”
“Okay.”
Hals nodded, his body growing again.
“Boom!”
Hals punched again.
A large hole appeared in the steel wall, with a huge piece of steel flying out.
“Looks like it needs repair.”
Garp looked at the hole. This was a special area for training super geniuses, so it wasn’t crowded. Now, only Hals and the two old men were present. But it could be dangerous if someone got hurt.
“This power is strong, at least 1300 Doriki.”
Zephyr knew the force needed to punch out a piece of the steel wall.
“Punch here. I’ll estimate your exact strength.”
Zephyr stepped on the air using [Moonwalk].
Hals was eager to try again.
