Chapter 219: Terrified Shanks (Subscription Request)
"How long did it take you to learn how to shave?"
Shanks was a little curious about Ryosuke's affirmative answer, and asked tentatively: "In addition to shaving, you should have mastered the other techniques of the Navy Six Styles, right? How long did it take with the help of that World Government agent?"
After seeing Ryosuke's combat power level, he wanted to re-understand the strength of this world.
After fighting with those senior ninjas of the Hyuga family, the Saki family told him that these were the high-end combat power of ninjas, and that he could easily deal with them. His strength in this world is definitely the same as that of the Five Village Shadows, or even stronger.
But now, Shanks is a little skeptical.
"Three days."
Ryosuke replied casually, "I have indeed mastered the other techniques of the Navy Six Styles."
In fact, strictly speaking, it only took him a few minutes to learn the Navy Six Styles from Bruno, but it did take a few more days to really master it, so the explanation of three days is not nonsense.
"So... you created your own Taijutsu secrets by combining the essence of Taijutsu from two worlds? You're really amazing." Shanks admired such a talented person, "But it's not easy to make a way out of Zero with the sweat and effort." He touched the saber on his waist, and he felt a little itchy in his heart. He wanted to compete with Ryosuke to see whether the kendo and Taijutsu of their world were better or the inheritance of his own world was deeper. "It's really a troublesome thing. Sometimes I was confused about whether there was a way forward." Ryosuke nodded in approval, "But I enjoy making myself stronger and feeling the process of my body changing. I don't think it's hard." "Interesting guy." Shanks was very interested in this pure desire, "If you were from our world, I would definitely pull you on my ship." "With your talent, I believe you would be the most secure partner." Ryosuke politely refused, "It's a pity, I already have my family." But perhaps, if he had traveled to the world of One Piece, there would be a high probability that he would board Shanks' ship. Because the Red Hair Pirates should be one of the more stable forces in that world.
Anyway, Ryosuke felt that with his personality, he would never take risks with Luffy and do something uncertain.
Thinking of Ryosuke's invitation to sparring, Shanks suddenly realized, "So... you have always wanted to compete with me. So you plan to learn my fighting skills in the battle?"
"I have this consideration."
Since it was seen, Ryosuke did not make any excuses, but admitted it openly.
Learning skills in battle, this should not be considered stealing, right?
"It is true. It seems that Mr. Ryosuke is a persistent person."
Shanks made a fist and wanted to knock on the palm of his other hand, but suddenly remembered that he only had one arm left, so he had to give up, "What a pity."
His face was full of regret.
In fact, at this point, anyone who is a little capable would want to fight with such a "martial arts fanatic" for one or two moves.
After all, a battle like this is extremely rare, and it is an improvement for both himself and Ryosuke.
But unfortunately... it's not possible yet. They have only met twice. Although they are very compatible in their conversations, no one knows whether the other party is pretending or a two-faced person.
They don't have the trust between them to fight each other, especially in a foreign country, alone.
Ryosuke can also feel the scruples in Shanks' words, and he feels very sorry.
But there is no hurry, there is a long way to go.
From the temperament and loyalty and commitment shown by Shanks, he will be a good partner.
"My three adults, I'm sorry to bother you. Our master invites you to have breakfast together. Is it convenient?"
At this time, the butler of the Saki family came over with a bent waist and asked the few people in a careful tone.
"Of course it's convenient."
After morning exercise, it was time to be hungry, and Ryosuke and the others would certainly not refuse this invitation.
And Shanks was the same.
Along the way, with the respectful greetings of the servants of the Saki family, Ryosuke and the other two came to the dining hall and met Saki Nozomi, who had not seen him for a few hours.
However, his son, Saki Yu, was not present. It seems that he could not participate in this breakfast because of his injury.
"Before breakfast starts, I would like to apologize to everyone. I was too worried about Axiong's injury last night, so I left in a hurry without telling you properly."
As soon as he sat down and before the dishes were served, Saki Nozomi spoke softly, apologizing for leaving without saying goodbye last night.
"It's human nature. We can all understand it."
In terms of emotion and reason, Ryosuke and the others should not have any objections.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Saki Nozomi nodded gratefully, "And... Young Master Ryosuke."
This time, he turned his eyes to Ryosuke alone, "I also want to thank you for your rescue last night, so Axiong didn't die in the mouth of the giant."
"And because I saw that the people in this city were implicated for no reason, my tone was a bit extreme, and I hope you can understand."
"Extreme?"
Ryosuke looked a little puzzled, "Last night I only saw a city lord who was worried about the people, and didn't see any radical old man."
No matter what the other party was thinking at the time, since he said such a reason, he just followed the other party's words and gave him a way out.
Since the other party was so polite, there was no need to make the relationship between the two sides stiff because of such a small matter.
As for his answer, Nozomi Saki was stunned, and then laughed heartily, "... Young Master Ryosuke is a very humorous person."
As he said, he seemed to have made a decision in his heart, "I think Mr. Shanks seems to be very interested in the Hyuga family. Why don't I arrange it here, and we go to the Hyuga clan in Konoha together to visit the head of the Hyuga family?"
Originally, Shanks, who was watching the seemingly insincere polite words between them, was suddenly named and turned his eyes to Nozomi Saki strangely.
"This is not appropriate, Master Saki."
His tone was a little doubtful, "Saki Castle has just experienced a disaster, and many people in the city have died because of it. The buildings in the city have also been damaged because of this incident. It is the time when you, the lord of the city, need to be in charge. If you leave at this time... it is not appropriate, right?"
After a pause, he added: "And Mr. Saki Yu's health should not be able to recover in a short time, right?"
Before, the Saki family wanted to lock him up in this city and not let him leave, so that he could only be a kendo teacher for their retainers.
Now... why did this attitude suddenly change?
"Actually, I'm planning to go to Hyuga because of the things in the city."
Putting his hands together on the table, Nozomi Saki said kindly, "This time, we were able to solve the giant and save Saki City from greater disasters. It's all thanks to Master Ryosuke."
"So... I plan to go to Konoha in person to meet the head of the Hyuga family and thank him in person."
"By the way, I had some business ideas before and wanted to cooperate with the Hyuga family, but I have always had no chance. It just so happens that I have an excuse to come this time. I hope Master Ryosuke can be flexible."
Oh?
Ryosuke and Hinata looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes.
Although they were a little surprised by the sudden surrender of the Saki family, they did not reject it. This kind of talent with excellent management skills is exactly what their family needs at the moment, so they accept everyone who comes.
"You are most welcome!"
However, Hinata was in charge of the family affairs, so she spoke up for Ryosuke at the right time, "Whatever the head of the Saki family needs, our Hyuga family can take it."
"Thank you, Miss Hinata."
No matter who gave this answer, in Nozomi Saki's eyes, Ryosuke and Hinata are the same.
"As for Axiong... I actually want to take him to Konoha." Then, he talked about his son again, "Axiong's burns are not fatal, but they still affect some of his body functions to a certain extent, so this time I plan to take him with me to let Konoha's famous medical expert, Tsunade-sama, take a look." "Tsunade-sama..." Ryosuke's face was filled with a gentle smile, "In fact, I also have a certain degree of understanding in medical ninjutsu." "So if the head of the Saki family is convenient, I can also help Mr. Saki Yu try to treat him," "But because it was dark last night, I don't know how serious the injury is, so I dare not guarantee that it can be solved." Having said that, Ryosuke actually knew how serious the burns on Saki Yu were last night, and what the consequences of the burns would be. As for the treatment, he was very confident that there would be no sequelae. But before, the relationship between the Saki family and them was mediocre, so he naturally didn't want to take the initiative to talk about this waste of time. But now it's different. The Saki family suddenly changed their attitude and planned to cooperate with them. Since they are partners, they can still help with this little favor.
"In addition to fighting, Master Ryosuke also has medical skills?"
Nozomi Saki was a little surprised, "I naturally believe in Master Ryosuke, so I'll trouble you."
"That..."
Shanks raised his arm, "Although it's a bit presumptuous, can I watch the treatment?"
He knew it was a bit strange to watch others perform surgery, but he really wanted to see what medical care in this world was like.
"I don't mind." Ryosuke said casually.
"Since Master Ryosuke has no objection, I don't think Axiong will refuse Mr. Shanks."
Nozomi Saki also said it didn't matter.
After a short conversation, the Saki family successfully tried to get closer to Hinata.
Then, at Nozomi Saki's signal, the kitchen began to serve the dishes.
After eating, they chatted about some family matters. Most of the time, Nozomi Saki was the one who talked. Ryosuke and the others rarely spoke. However, with the food present, the atmosphere was not awkward.
The pleasant breakfast ended quickly. After a short rest, Ryosuke and the others quickly came to Saki Yu's room to treat him.
Ryosuke's medical ninjutsu is naturally beyond words.
He has refined the Yang escape technique and developed his own medical secret technique. He may not be as good as Tsunade, the medical senior, in some insights and experience, but his ability is almost the same.
In less than half an hour, Ryosuke, who had already considered Sakiyu's injury, completed the treatment.
When Sakiyu appeared in front of everyone as if nothing had happened, they all clearly felt the level of "certain opinions" and "uncertainties" in Ryosuke's mouth.
Not only did the burned epidermis grow back, but even the flesh and blood that had been corroded to a certain extent grew back. This level of treatment can be regarded as remodeling and reconstruction.
"Since Axiong's injury has been properly treated, let him handle the affairs in the city."
Sakihi's attention to Hinata increased by one point, "There is no time to lose. If we waste one more minute, we will earn one less minute of money in our business cooperation. Let's not waste time."
"I will ask someone to arrange a carriage now, and we will rush to Konoha as soon as possible."
He still remembered that Ryosuke and his friends left in a hurry yesterday, as if they had something important to do, so they did not plan to stay longer.
The Saki family went to arrange the carriage, and Ryosuke and his friends were free.
Looking at Shanks, who had been silent since watching him treat, Ryosuke chuckled and asked, "How is it? Can the medical level here compare to your world?" Shanks hesitated for a moment, "I can only say... unbelievable." He was still a little shocked by Ryosuke's treatment method until now. Just by putting his hand on Sakio's body, the injuries inside and outside his body were quickly healed under a strange energy, and the whole process can be said to be visible to the naked eye. This level of treatment is not something he has never seen in their world, like some special devil fruits can also have similar abilities. But according to Ryosuke's explanation to him during the treatment, there are many people in this world who master this kind of medical means, but the level is high and low, which is a bit shocking. "Is this the method of ninja? Very strange..." Shanks said with some envy: "If everyone can master such medical methods, then in the fight, it will undoubtedly be able to effectively reduce the losses of one's own side and bring greater pressure to the enemy." A main combatant also has a strong healing ability, which means that he can quickly heal his injuries when he is injured in battle. This is the real all-round development! In addition to the physical skills that Ryosuke showed before, this medical ninjutsu is the second ninja method he has seen. However, just these two methods make Shanks look forward to the subsequent trip to Konoha. I heard that it is one of the strongest ninja forces in the entire ninja world. I guess there, he can get a good understanding of the real combat power level of this world.
