Chapter 157
In the past, Zhang Lie had been building up his physique, but he didn't know how to become the strongest. Now, after listening to Aokiji's words, he finally understood.
But for him, the rogue ability of the Float-Float Fruit can allow him to take the initiative in battle and greatly increase his chances of survival.
In this way, it is only a matter of time before his physique is improved. He has a faceplate and there is no limit to his talent.
Moreover, his ability is not locked. At most, he can switch it after his physique reaches its limit in the future. For example, if he steals Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit, it will just take a little longer to develop it.
Just when he thought of this, Aokiji's next words caught his attention again:
"You are not far from the Sabaody Archipelago now. Be careful to keep a low profile on the following roads. The Navy and the World Government will be more sensitive during this period."
"Hmm, could it be related to the Whitebeard Pirates?" Zhang Lie deliberately tested.
Aokiji looked down at Zhang Lie:"How did you know?"
"Guessed." Zhang Lie spread his hands,"Anyway, I am also an intelligence officer, it is not difficult to figure this out."
When he said he was an intelligence officer, Aokiji and Bruno's eyelids twitched, but they didn't say it out loud, one didn't care, and the other didn't dare.
Zhang Lie went on:"I haven't forgotten that Ace was arrested some time ago. If he has been detained in Impel Down, it would be okay, but I don't think things are that simple.
According to Marshal Sengoku's character and your attitude just now, the biggest possibility is that he wants to execute Ace, and then set up a dragnet based on this to start a decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"That's all. I didn't expect that a casual remark of mine would leak top-secret information."Since it was guessed, Aokiji no longer tried to hide it.
"You guessed it right, the war is already inevitable, it just depends on when, but it won't be too late."
Zhang Lie suddenly said as if chatting:"I want to participate"
"No, how can you participate with your identity?"Aokiji refused without thinking,"and you are not strong enough"
"Will the Shichibukai participate in this battle?"
"It's a compulsory conscription, and you must participate." Qingzhi interrupted Zhang Lie before he could speak.
"I know what you're thinking, but I still say that you're not strong enough, even if you have the reputation of defeating Shiki.
In addition, the Shichibukai is a means for the World Government to win over powerful pirates. Your real identity is a navy, and we can't let you waste a position as a Shichibukai."
Zhang Lie didn't want to give up:"This is easy. When the war is over, I will do something against the navy, and you can remove me based on that, right?"
"How do you solve the problem of strength?"Aokiji asked the most core question,"You don't even have Haki, or can you ensure that Haki is awakened before the war?" At this moment, Zhang Lie figured out everything. The Float-Float Fruit is indeed powerful, but it takes time for him to develop it. But now time is also the most lacking thing, not to mention that his original fruit ability is not weak.
If he wants to participate in the war, he can only choose the path of physical strength.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Lie did not dare to improve his physical strength in front of Aokiji, but he was unwilling to give up, so he suggested:
"General, since we are family, just consider it as a favor, and my strength is increasing very fast, very fast, how about we spar again?"
Aokiji said with a playful look:"Improving very fast? Then I'll give it a try."
Zhang Lie glanced around, fearing that Aokiji would go back on his word, and immediately said:"There are not many people here now, it's just right as a battlefield."
The reason why he dared to say this is because his physique has indeed become much stronger this time, and the strength on the panel can already correspond to the 400 million bounty level.
If expressed in numerical values, Aokiji's physique is 100, and Zhang Lie's physique was only 20 during the last sparring. He had to use the second gear to force Aokiji to use 40% of his strength.
As for now, his physique is estimated to have reached 40, of which 10 is the extracted kill benefit, and the other 10 is the effect of the heart part of the body refining technique.
This time Zhang Lie narrowly escaped death, and the enhanced recovery plus the stimulation of the will to survive, the effect of the heart body refining If the whole body transformation has been completed, there will be such a big improvement.
As for the benefits of Shi Ji's kill that have not been extracted, one-third of the peak physique of the legendary strongman is the bulk.
Shi Ji's peak physique should not be worse than Aokiji. Once Zhang Lie uses the second gear, he will surpass Aokiji in this aspect.
Although physique is only a part of strength, it at least represents the lower limit of strength and also represents huge potential.
Both sides stood in place, Aokiji still looked completely unguarded, and Zhang Lie activated the second gear, his body suddenly turned red.
"I'm going to attack, shave!"
After giving a warning, Zhang Lie rushed out fiercely, and his speed made Aokiji lose his concentration. Although he was slightly weaker than himself, he was not much behind. After all, his second gear state was already 80% of his.
Due to his carelessness, Aokiji had no time to defend himself and was instantly smashed into ice chips.
"Very good, you are really surprising, then let's officially spar with each other in physical skills!"
The broken ice condensed again, and Aokiji showed up again, condensing two spears in his hands.
"Two Thorn Spears!"
Zhang Lie didn't dare to touch the ice spears directly. He put on the Forbidden Magic on both hands, and then pulled out the Ghost Cut on his right hand, and started to fight with all his strength.
Both sides used the Razor at the same time, and completed a round of confrontation in an instant. The speed made Bruno, who was watching, completely unable to see clearly.
Zhang Lie looked at his right hand, which was used to block the ice spear during the confrontation just now. At this moment, it was covered with frost, and the arm inside was also numb from the cold.
In the first fight, Zhang Lie clearly felt the gap. He was still at a disadvantage in all aspects of strength and speed, but it was already within an acceptable range.
"Then use the opponent's force to counter attack. You are a natural type, so you can't be that good at physical skills."
"I'll disappoint you, but I'm an obedient student."
The two sides rushed towards each other again. Zhang Lie held the knife with his backhand to increase his grip and exerted force to the side along the direction of the ice spear.
Then he slapped another ice spear with his left hand, also using the force to counter the force, and then ignoring the fact that his left hand had lost consciousness, he slid along the ice spear towards Aokiji's arm. This was the first time Aokiji encountered this kind of fighting method. It was not that people in this world could not do it, but that his starting point was too high.
There were only a few people in this world who could let him fight with physical skills. Although his teacher Zephyr and former superior Garp were They were both strong in physical skills, but they were all head-on style.
So this time he suffered a loss, and his body was unstable for a moment. Although he quickly adjusted himself, Zhang Lie also seized the opportunity.
Seeing that he was touched by the seastone, the ice spear suddenly exploded, and Aokiji jumped up and turned around, completely avoiding the seastone.
You have to know that Zhang Lie is only 1.8 meters tall with shoes on, and Aokiji is nearly 3 meters tall. In Zhang Lie's view, this turn is so far that he can't even reach it with his legs.
Zhang Lie felt a kind of silent irony on the spot, and his face turned red.
