I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Seeing Xie Wen about to leave without saying a word, Qingjiao quickly stopped him.

In fact, he didn't really want Xie Wen to do anything to Garp, and he also knew that they probably couldn't hurt Garp.

However, although she deeply hated Garp for smashing her head, Qingjiao was also very clear about Garp's character. As long as she knew that Xie Wen and the others were instigated by her, Garp would probably not care, and even He would also give some guidance to Xie Wen and the others.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Xie Wen and the others don't know much about Garp.

Under normal circumstances, most people around the world don't actually know who Garp is, because with Roger being beheaded, the power structure of the Grand Line has gradually stabilized, and Garp has taken less and less action. , especially in the four seas outside the Grand Line, the identity of Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters is too far away from them.

But Xie Wen is one of the very few people who understands Garp's life story and strength, and he knows them very well.

However, even if Xie Wen knew nothing about Garp, Qingjiao's prank plan would not be successful because he completely forgot that there was a Helena next to him who also knew who Garp was...

"Old man, isn't Garp the navy who defeated you? How could Xie Wen and the others defeat him?!" Holisa said in a very shameless manner.

On the contrary, Keli Meow scratched her little head, and then said matter-of-factly: "It's just because the old man couldn't beat him, so he asked someone for help. Isn't this strange?"

"Ahem, the problem is, we can't even beat Mr. Qingjiao, how can we help him beat Garp..." Xie Wen felt dumbfounded and touched Kelimiao's little head, "That one can be regarded as the most powerful in the world. One of the people."

In the comics he updated before he traveled through time, this "naval hero" was so powerful that he seemed to have a big question mark on this "most powerful" one...

Xie Wen added in his heart.

"Wow...Grandpa, you are so shameless, meow." Sanji said looking at Qingjiao with contempt.

"Ah ha ha ha ha..." Qingjiao smiled dryly and touched his bald head, and defended himself: "Actually, things are not as dangerous as you think..."

He told Xie Wen and others his thoughts and speculations, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, I will still guide you to be domineering."

Probably out of shame and for the sake of Helisa's face, Qingjiao didn't put forward any more conditions this time.

Of course, Xie Wen couldn't ask for things to develop like this, so it was impossible for him to say anything to irritate the green pepper.

But cats’ curiosity cannot be eliminated so easily...

"That guy named Garp Marine sounds like a good guy, Grandpa, why do you want us to beat him for you? Grandpa, were you a bad guy before?" Kelimiao tilted her doubtful little head and asked.

"Ah... well..." Qingjiao touched her bald head again, looking embarrassed.

You want to say that he is not a good person, but the Babao Navy belongs to the army of the Kingdom of Flowers. Going out to be a pirate is officially allowed by the country, but you want to say that he is a good person... Qingjiao really doesn't have that. Face admitted.

It was Xie Wen who came to his rescue and said, "Okay, Keli, this world is very complicated. You can't just use good people and bad people to distinguish them. Just like the story I told you, can you say Gaara, Shiro?" , and Sasuke who defected, are they bad people?"

"Is that so, meow?"

Although the little puppet was not quite able to understand it, she did not continue to struggle... Anyway, just listen to brother Xie Wen!

And Xie Wen said this not because he wanted to get Qingjiao's guidance to deliberately obscure his past behavior, but because he originally thought so.

After living in this world for so long and traveling to so many places, Xie Wen increasingly felt that he could not use his pre-travel thinking and values ​​to view the position of pirates in this world.

It is true that those pirates who burned, killed, and looted brought a lot of suffering to the civilians of this world, and it is true that many people hate pirates, but equally, there are many people who long for the "career" of pirates, no matter what they do. For whatever reason, those who admire pirates cannot fail to know the overall moral character of pirates as a group.

In addition, in the comics, the civilians in Windmill Village, Frost Moon Village and other places behaved proudly after Luffy and others increased their bounty. Even Cocoa West Village and the Drum Kingdom were perennially attacked by pirates. Attack, who originally hated pirates, immediately changed his attitude after Nami and Chopper went to sea.

Therefore, in Xie Wen's view, the position of pirates in this world is more like a profession with a poor reputation. If compared horizontally, it is a bit like the rangers in ancient times.

If you don't make a name for yourself, you're a gangster who doesn't do his job properly, but if you make a name for yourself, you're a hero or a green forest hero.

Of course, such a situation occurs. In addition to the "peaceful pirates" such as Luffy and Shanks among pirates, it also has a lot to do with the rulers of this world and various inappropriate people.

In short, it's the difference between bad and worse.

Therefore, from the perspective of this world, pirates can indeed be equated with professions such as "explorer" under certain circumstances.

However, no matter how gorgeously the profession of pirate is packaged with beautiful words like "dream" and "freedom", Xie Wen has no interest in becoming a pirate at all.

……

In the next period of time, Xie Wen and the two cats lived in Qingjiao's small courtyard, and Qingjiao also taught them the practice of domineering very seriously, not because Xie Wen did not agree to "beat Garp" "One meal" was reserved.

In fact, Qingjiao, who was bought off by Kelimya's cuteness and Sanjimeow's cooking skills, even used eight punches and other eight-treasure navy tricks...

Although Xie Wen and the others were not specifically taught how to practice Ba Chong Quan, they were also told about the basic principles of Ba Chong Quan and the key points involved.

However, after listening to Qingjiao's explanation, Xie Wen also understood why he didn't care that he had learned Ba Chong Quan.

The key point of Bachongquan is actually to produce penetrating power similar to beating a cow across a mountain. Armed domineering itself has techniques such as external release and internal destruction. Therefore, for Xie Wen, as long as he learns these domineering techniques, he will not Knowing how to master the eight punches is actually no different.

Or to put it another way, the Eight-Chong Boxing is actually the same as the Sixth Form of the Navy. It is a practice method that imitates domineering and stimulates domineering. It can also be called a beggar’s version of domineering.

In the Sixth Marine Style, the Iron Block takes the path of hardening the weapon color, while the Zhiqiang and Lanjia use the weapon color to be exposed outward. Although the Eight-Punch Boxing takes into account both external exposure and internal destruction exercises, it also allows it to be repaired. The difficulty of learning has increased a lot.

Moreover, since the technique of internal destruction is the most difficult to master, even if you really learn the Eight-Punch Fist, there is no guarantee that you will be able to master this technique after awakening your Haki.

Even Xie Wen's monster hunting skills can actually be considered a similar situation, but the power systems of the two worlds are still different after all, so the monster hunting skills show more of a "skipping class" domineering awakening.

Even after understanding these principles, the various uses of armed colors are not so easy to learn. The most basic hardening is nothing to say, winding is not difficult, and spreading out is a bit difficult. But under the guidance of Qingjiao, Xie Wen has barely mastered it.

Only the technique of internal destruction cannot be learned by Xie Wen no matter how hard he learns it. However, considering that Luffy in the original work also relied on several sit-ups and the guidance of Leopard Goro to master this technique, Xie Wen did not go too far. in a hurry.

Moreover, Qingjiao also reminded him in particular: "To practice domineering, training alone is far from enough. Although you have now learned most of the ways to use armed colors, as long as you meet a real master of armed colors, even if the opponent only has If you know how to harden your weapon with one move, it will be difficult for you to defeat him, because the quality of your domineering energy is very different between the two of you. Only through the catalysis of battle can your domineering energy change qualitatively. Just relying on training will not help you. There is no way to reach a higher realm."

Similar words seem to have been said to Luffy by Rayleigh in the comics, so... In fact, Rayleigh is not a mediocre person. Do you misunderstand him?

According to Xie Wen's understanding, there is a high probability that Baqi cannot play Shilipo Sword God. After reaching a certain bottleneck, it is possible to achieve a breakthrough by relying on battles of the same level, or even death matches. Fei awakened the high-level telepathic color during the battle with Ka Er, and was beaten by Teacher Kai with three sticks. In addition to being cheated by the protagonist, it was actually due to his accumulated experience.

But no matter what, Xie Wen has basically completed his study of armed color domineering. As for seeing and hearing domineering, there is no technique similar to paper painting in Babao Navy, so Qingjiao’s training method is also very simple...

He asked Xie Wen and Sanji Miao to keep their eyes covered as much as possible at all times, and recruited a group of reserves from the Babao Navy to launch sneak attacks on them anytime and anywhere. Sometimes Qingjiao himself and Kelimiao would also participate.

This resulted in Xie Wen always having bruises and cat scratches on his body during this period.

And what makes Xie Wen most unhappy is... Sanji Meow actually awakened the color of sight before him...

It must be the difference caused by racial talent!

That must be it!

Regarding the setting of "Peace Pirates", it was actually a concept proposed by Pirates in a short story before serialization. Luffy and Shanks were classified as "Peace Pirates" from the beginning. After the serialization, they probably thought so. The classification was too deliberate, so I canceled it.

……

In the original book, Rayleigh did say that actual combat is the correct way to exercise domineering power, so his teaching ability is not as bad as everyone says.

The real cheating point of Rayleigh is that he clearly knows that there are advanced ways to apply Haki, but he only mentions the ability to see the future, and does not even mention skills such as Armed Color and Ba Tang with Luffy.

If I really had to force an explanation, the only explanation would be that I was afraid of distracting Luffy by talking too much.

……

Regarding the settings of the six-position and eight-stroke boxing, it is my personal guess and opinion. It can be said that it is a second design, but I think it still makes sense.
