At the beginning of One Piece, you get the Phantom Beast Devil Fruit

Early the next morning, Carl got up at dawn, and his mother had already prepared breakfast. After Carl had breakfast, he went to find Darren.

"Karl, remember to go home early today, you know? Today is your birthday, so call Darren over too."

"I know, mom!" She said and ran to the next door. "Uncle Darren, get up!"

"You've gotten up early, brat, let's go, today we'll go to the other side of the town."

Uncle Darren is holding a tachi that is more than one meter long. He looks quite majestic when holding the knife. He must have been a handsome guy when he was young. "Well, he's definitely not as handsome as me! Hehe!"

"What are you laughing at! Follow me quickly!"

On the other side of the town, it was a small plain. "You run around here first and tell me when you feel you can't hold on until you reach it."

"Okay, I'll start running now!"

In this way, Karl ran around the plain in circles, until his clothes were soaked and he felt like smoke was coming out of his throat.

"Uncle Darren, I can't run anymore." Carl crossed his legs and gasped.

"Now hold this sword and feel it with your heart. When your mind calms down, swing it. Keep swinging it. Stop again if I ask you to stop."

"Okay!" Karl took Uncle Darren's sword and closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

"Adjust your breathing, slow down your heartbeat, and calm down slowly."

Carl followed Darren's words, his heartbeat slowed down, and he almost felt like he was swinging forward violently.

"Yes, that's it, keep going and don't stop."

Karl just calmed down and swung the knife, calmed down and swung the knife, repeating it over and over again.

I felt tireless and couldn't hear any other sounds, only the sound of breaking through the air when the knife was swung out.

I don’t know how long it took, but Uncle Darren called Karl to stop.

I felt dizzy, my arms didn't feel like my own, I lay straight on the ground, breathing heavily.

"How was it? Did you feel anything when you swung the knife?"

"I felt very tired at first, and gradually I stopped hearing the buzz around me, as if everything had disappeared."

"Yes, if you want to become a top swordsman, the first step is to feel the breath of the sword and treat it as a part of your body. Only then can it listen to you and use it smoothly."

After saying that it was a knife, he swung it forward from top to bottom, and a flying slash flew out, cutting a gully of several hundred meters into the sea!

Carl stood up suddenly, "Oh my God! Is this the Great Swordsman? He's so handsome! I must learn it!" Carl thought in his heart.

"Uncle Darren! Is this the great swordsman realm you are talking about? So handsome!!!" Carl said to Darren excitedly.

"Gahahahahaha, yes, this is the slash wielded by the great swordsman! Let's do this today and continue tomorrow! Let's go back."

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work today, Uncle Darren! By the way, today is my birthday, and my mother asked me to invite you to my house for dinner!"

After that, we went back to the town and walked home together. At this time, the sun is about to go down. Looking at the sea in the distance, it is so beautiful!

When I got home, my mother had prepared dinner, and my father also bought several bottles of rum.

"Darren, we haven't had a drink for a long time, I will get you drunk today! Hahahahahaha"

"Hahahahaha, Berg, your ability to drink is far from enough. It's not that easy to get me drunk!"

"Eat first, then drink! There is also cake. I'm going to take out the cake. Karl, what mom made for you today is apple cream cake!"

"(⊙o⊙)Wow! Thank you mom! I want to eat the biggest piece!"

"Come on, light the candles first, and then make a wish!"

"Okay mom!" Carl closed his eyes and clasped his hands, "I hope my parents are in good health, I hope my sister is safe, and I hope Uncle Darren is also in good health!"

"Mom, I've made my wish!" Phew~ Carl blew out the candles and everyone applauded together.

"My Karl is eight years old. Happy birthday. He will grow up healthy and healthy in the future! Let's go! Eat cake!"

"Oh! I'm starting! I want the biggest piece!" Carl was so hungry that he stuffed the cake into his mouth.

Dad, Mom, Uncle Darren saw Carl starting and started eating too. In this way, Dad and Uncle Darren were drinking wine, and Carl and his mother were separated by Coke, and their eighth birthday passed quietly.

"It feels like this kind of life is not bad. Although it is in the world of One Piece, it is a windless zone and far away from the Grand Line. Only people here can have such a peaceful life."

After dinner, Berg was also drunk, Uncle Darren also went back a little drunk, and Karl helped his mother clean up the mess.

Carl didn't get up until everyone was asleep. He still had to exercise his devil fruit abilities, so he couldn't relax.

He quietly walked into the forest, and when he arrived in the forest, he transformed into his full animal form and flew towards the Holy Mountain. Only when he reached the top of the Holy Mountain did he begin to become familiar with the power of the Devil Fruit.

Karl turned into a human-animal form and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and feeling, carefully feeling everything around the holy mountain. Bi'an could tell right from wrong directly from his heart. It felt like a special type of domineering power.

In this way, while getting familiar with the Devil Fruit's abilities and practicing his Haki, he went home to rest until early in the morning.

As the days passed, Carl also exercised day after day. Five years later, he had grown to a handsome young man with a height of 1.8 meters.

On the coast, "Karl, feel the breath of the objects around you and calm down. Only when you feel their breath can you break through with the sword," Darren said next to him.

A few years later, Carl finally grasped some skills to break through to the swordsman.

I felt that the surrounding area became quiet, and then I swung out my sword, and a light red slash flew out!

"I finally made a flying slash!!! Uncle Darren! Hahahahahaha I finally reached the realm of swordsman!!"

I was so excited. When I watched One Piece and saw Hawkeye doing the flying slash, I thought it would be great if I could do it too. Now I finally learned it. It feels great! ! !

"Hahahahahahaha, yes Karl, your talent is really high. In time, you will definitely reach the level of a great swordsman! Coupled with your ability of the Phantom Beast Devil Fruit, you will definitely have a place in the sea in the future!!"

"Hahahahaha, I'm just not in good health. I was in pain when I fought with Uncle Darren yesterday."

"So you have to practice more physical fitness. Once your physical fitness is reached, it will be easier to awaken the armed domineering force. Let's go. That's it for today. Let's go back first."

"Well, I will continue to work hard!" He said, hanging the Tang Hengdao on his waist and walking into the town.

This knife was made specially for Carl by Uncle Darren who went to sea to find someone to make it. It is also a large and fast knife that has reached the 21st level! !

When walking to the town and passing the pub, Darren said, "You can train by yourself starting tomorrow. I have taught you everything I know. It's up to you to do what you do next."

After saying that, he went into the pub to drink, humming a song at the same time. It was obvious that he was very happy today.

"Yes! Uncle Darren, you have worked hard these past few years!" Karl bowed to him. I am also very happy today, hehe~

When I got home, my mother hadn't come back yet, so I put the knife away and started preparing for tonight's dinner.

"I'm in a good mood today, I'm in a good mood~"

Half an hour later, my parents finally came back.

"Karl, why are you back so early today?"

"Mom, I'm starting out today! I've reached the level of a swordsman today! Uncle Darren said that I can practice on my own starting tomorrow!"

"Really? My Karl is great, but I have to keep working hard and I can't be proud."

"Well! I know mom, by the way dad, I will go hunting by myself tomorrow. I want to make money and exercise my abilities at the same time!"

"Okay, but don't go deep into the forest, you know? Just a little bit on the edge is fine. There are a lot of prey there."

"Okay, I understand, let's eat! Today I'm going to eat curry beef rice! This is my best dish!"

What they don't know is that Carl goes to the sacred mountain to exercise every night, let alone the depths of the forest.

From now on, I will go to the forest by myself during the day. I have to make it clear to my family so that they can feel more at ease.

"Hmm~ It smells so good. Karl is so handsome and can cook such delicious food. Whoever marries Karl in the future will be very happy."

"Mom, I'm only 13 years old! It's too early to get married or anything like that."

"Okay, okay, let's eat, Berg, come out to eat!"

The family was having breakfast happily. No, I still need my sister Lujiu. Sister, wait for me!

After eating and taking a shower, I lay down in bed. Well, it feels so comfortable. I haven't gone to bed so early for a long time.

In the past few years, I would go to the Holy Mountain to exercise every night and not come back until midnight. Today I was finally able to go to bed early. He fell asleep not long after lying down.

As soon as it was dawn, I got up, had breakfast, took my knife and walked into the forest. I met Ed and Uncle Ian on the way.

"Good morning, Uncle Ed and Uncle Ian, are you going hunting today too?"

"Yes, we are going to sea in a few days, so prepare some meat to save. Carl, are you also going to the forest to hunt?"

"Yes, Uncle Darren said that I have graduated now and can go into the forest to exercise by myself. I have told my parents."

"Then remember not to go too far into the forest, you know? There are many big beasts there."

"Yes, I know, I just need to stay on the edge."

The group of people walked into the forest. When they arrived at the forest, Karl separated from them and began his own experience.

Next, I plan to fight the wild beasts in the forest without using transformation. Only in this way can I better train my body and combat reflexes.
