Chapter 111 Each person's gift! Blooming of pure gold!
"Ok?"
Borsalino was a little confused when Tornado glared at him as if he was the murderer of his father. He didn't know when he had offended her again. Considering Tornado's pretty face, he gave her a gentle smile.
As a result, no one knows what nerve of Tornado was touched, and her gaze, which was originally just "the enemy who killed his father", was directly escalated to the level of killing an entire household.
If looks had real killing power, Borsalino would probably have nothing left but ashes by now.
The tornado that had already flown into the air fell from the sky and took a deep breath under Fubuki's slightly wary gaze.
"I'm sorry, I won't target him for no reason anymore..."
Tornado suppressed the grievance and anger in her heart, turned her head and spoke awkwardly.
Although she repeatedly told herself that this was all for the sake of protecting Fubuki, it was still very uncomfortable for Tornado to bow her head for the first time in her life, even if it was to her own sister.
"elder sister……"
Fubuki couldn't believe her ears. How could she hear Tornado apologize to her in her lifetime?
Not to mention that the conflict between her and Tornado has not yet reached the point where it really breaks out, even if it really does, Fubuki will forgive Tornado without hesitation.
The two sisters quickly reconciled. Although Tornado was a little resentful at first, she soon melted into Fubuki's enthusiasm.
If she had known that apologizing would make Fubuki obey her, she would not have hesitated at all to do such a good thing.
"Well, this is not bad..."
At this time, Borsalino roughly guessed the changes in Tornado's psychological activities and shook his head with amusement.
Tornado thought that by guarding the cabbages in the field she could prevent them from being taken away by some scumbag, but she didn't realize that by doing so she was putting herself in a "dangerous" situation.
Besides, Fubuki, this "cabbage", is going to travel to another world with a scumbag tomorrow, and no matter how hard Tornado tries, she can't guess that Borsalino has this trick.
"Speaking of which, what kind of gift should I prepare..."
Seeing that Fubuki was still sticking close to Tornado, Borsalino didn't want to take the initiative to go over to her. He could only start thinking about what gift to give to Zhang Sanfeng for his 100th birthday tomorrow.
If it was someone else's birthday in the chat group, it would be simple, just give them a random devil fruit, but Zhang Sanfeng didn't mention the question of whether it was appropriate or not.
Borsalino himself couldn't imagine Zhang Sanfeng, who was supposed to be practicing Tai Chi, raising his hand to throw a "fire fist".
Since he was free at the moment anyway, Borsalino simply opened the chat group to see if others had any ideas.
[Tony Stark: It turns out that Mr. Stark is the smartest brain in this group! ]
[Orochimaru: Haha, that's a very interesting idea indeed. You start by studying the material composition of the material itself.]
[Grayfield Ai: Don't be too proud too soon. Pure gold, an unscientific creation, may not be what you think. It is the special property of the material itself! ]
[Tony Stark: Hey, dear Ms. Huiyuan, can I understand that you are jealous of Mr. Stark's lead in research progress? ]
[Borusalino: What are you talking about? ]
[Tony Stark: Oh, my best friend, Mr. Stark has confirmed the molecular composition of pure gold through the most advanced spectrometer...]
[Tony Stark: Theoretically, we are one step closer to being able to make pure gold, which is definitely something worth celebrating! ]
[Borusalino: Hmm? Have you decided what birthday gift to give to Master Zhang tomorrow? ]
[Tony Stark: What? Gift! Damn, Mr. Stark almost forgot to prepare a gift. Luckily you reminded me! ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: I have thought about it, Mr. Kizaru, what are you going to give me? ]
[Borsalino: Obviously, I haven’t thought about it yet, so I came to ask if you have any ideas.]
[Grayhara Ai: The world over there seems to be quite dangerous. I have prepared 3,000 doses of portable antibiotic injections and instructions for use. I think they should be useful.]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Oh my god, what kind of killer gift is this! ]
[Tony Stark: Hey! Mr. Stark also knows what to give! ]
[Grayhara Ai: Is the smartest Mr. Stark going to plagiarize the idea that the little girl finally came up with? ]
[Tony Stark: NONONONO, what Mr. Stark wants to give is much more advanced than yours. ]
[Xiao Lin: Oh, my head hurts, and Thor insists on going with me, what should I do? ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Then go, didn't Orochimaru say that as long as you are not a human, you can be sent to another world alive? At worst, to be safe, let Thor not transform first and go in dragon form. ]
[Kobayashi: Well, I’m mainly worried that Thor might get into trouble…]
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: That is a problem, but I think if you don't take her with you, the trouble you cause might be even bigger.]
[Kobayashi: Well, I can only take her with me. I hope Thor won’t do anything rash…]
[Grayhara Ai: If Thor from the Kobayashi family is going there too, shouldn't we go there at the same time?]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Yes, it's better to unify them, otherwise when others are celebrating Zhang Zhenren's birthday, a giant dragon suddenly jumps out, which is too scary. ]
[Borsalino: You guys can arrange a time. Fubuki and I can go over anytime.]
[Borsalino: Oh, @Tony Stark @Orochimaru @Grayhara Ai, who of you can cut a piece of pure gold for me right now?]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Damn, is Mr. Kizaru going to give me pure gold?! ]
[Borsalino: Well, otherwise the competition between you guys is too fierce, and I can't think of anything good to give you. ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Kneel down to the Yellow Monkey, he is really rich. ]
[Grayhara Ai: Wait a minute, I have a piece that I just cut...]
[Esdeath: You want to send a gift? There's nothing good in the northern part of the empire. If all else fails, how about I send a few thousand slaves from other ethnic groups?]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Ah, this... is not good. Master Zhang definitely doesn’t want a slave...]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Let me show you my gift. I caught this with great difficulty from the deep mountains in the wilderness area.]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Look, this guy's strength is close to that of a high-level warrior. If I weren't more skilled, I might not be able to catch him. ]
A passerby posted a photo showing a tiger with a red collar around its neck. It was pinned to the ground like a kitten by a giant ape that was several times bigger than it. It didn't dare to struggle or move and looked pitiful.
However, considering that the Gigantic Ape is as tall as two or three stories, the actual size of this tiger is even larger than an adult buffalo.
[Esdeath: Hmm? I think I know what to give...]
[Xiao Lin: Wait, is this really okay? This big tiger, I can't control it, right?]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Ah, this... should be fine, this big cat is just a little big, and it doesn't have any special abilities...]
[Tony Stark: Hey, that's not a problem. I have electric shock collars for dinosaurs. Even a Tyrannosaurus Rex will be obedient in front of high voltage electricity! ]
[Tony Stark: @Borusalino, our Jurassic Park has been built, and now we just need you to send the dinosaurs over. ]
[Borsalino: So soon? I haven't had time to send anyone to the small garden yet... Never mind, I'll make a special trip there later.]
[Graybara Ai: Don’t forget about me. You promised to find someone to help me return to my original form…]
[Borsalino: Don't worry, this is easy. Just come to my place when I get back.]
[Grayhara Ai: The pure gold transaction has been completed, you can accept it. ]
……
As soon as Haibara Ai finished speaking, Borsalino received a reminder from the chat group, and soon a piece of pure gold that had just been cut and was shining brightly appeared in Borsalino's hands.
Pure gold is a metal with very special properties. Its texture is softer than gold. A strong man with enough strength can even squeeze pure gold like plasticine.
After receiving the pure gold, Borsalino thought about it and decided to stuff the pure gold into the wooden hairpin used for tying hair. Only in this way could it be convenient for Master Zhang to carry it with him.
Otherwise, if it was a ring or a necklace, given Zhang Sanfeng's character, even if he knew the effects of pure gold, he would most likely ignore it.
"Hmph, you can give up now. I will never let you do this to Fubuki... What is this?"
After reconciling with Fubuki, Tornado smiled at Borsalino as a winner. But before she could warn Borsalino not to attack Fubuki, she saw the dazzling piece of pure gold.
Those eyes, which disliked everyone except Fubuki, could no longer look away, without even blinking.
"Looks beautiful, doesn't it?"
Borsalino was holding a small piece of pure gold, and looking at the expression on Tornado's face that looked like it was about to drool, he couldn't help but laugh.
Especially when he tried to move the pure gold away from Tornado, he saw that Tornado's eyes moved along with his palm.
Fubuki likes brand-name bags and high-heeled shoes, while Tornado has no resistance to shiny things.
Even if we ignore the fact that pure gold can make people immortal, it itself is more dazzling than the most beautiful jewels in the world.
It doesn't even need to reflect sunlight and light, its existence itself seems to emit the most charming light.
"This thing...where did you get this thing from?"
Tornado stared at him enviously for a long time before coming to his senses and asked Borsalino reluctantly.
She had already promised Fubuki not to target Borsalino anymore, at least not openly.
Otherwise, given Tornado's domineering personality, she might have already robbed the items by now, and at most would have given Borsalino corresponding compensation after the robbery.
“There is only one of its kind in the world.”
Borsalino said very calmly that unless Tornado could go to the pirate world, this piece of pure gold was indeed unique in the One Punch Man world.
Hearing the word "unique", Tornado couldn't help but bite her lip. For a moment, she even thought of letting this guy get away with it, but soon she shook her head vigorously.
If it was just her own words, it wouldn't be too bad considering Borsalino's face and strength.
But this guy is targeting her and Fubuki, how can she let him succeed!
"What's its name?"
Tornado was still a little unwilling to give up, thinking that maybe he could find the second or third piece from other places.
The dazzling golden light was so beautiful that Tornado couldn't resist its temptation at all.
"Pure gold, by the way, is far more valuable than you think. If people knew about it, it would be normal for a war to break out over it."
Borsalino felt a little emotional. Even in the pirate world where pure gold was produced, the Five Elders, the Celestial Dragons, and even the kings and nobles of various countries would definitely not mind starting a war for pure gold.
After all, no matter how many soldiers die, it is not as important as allowing them to gain eternal life.
"No, its appearance alone is enough to start a war!"
Tornado watched eagerly as Borsalino put the pure gold away, wishing that a pair of small hands could grow in his eyes so that he could take the pure gold into his own hands.
"You really want it?"
Borsalino looked at Tornado with a smile. In the eyes of others, pure gold is the key to open the door to eternal life, but to Borsalino, it is just a useful prop.
Even without pure gold, living for hundreds of years would be easy with his physique. By that time, who knows how strong he would be. Maybe life would have no meaning to him. "But... Damn it! I don't want your things! Don't dream on, as long as I'm here, I won't let you get what you want!"
Tornado gritted her teeth and turned to run, fearing that if she ran too slowly she would not be able to resist the temptation of pure gold. She even forgot that she could fly and almost tripped over the leg of a chair, which made Borsalino laugh.
However, there was obviously a price to pay for watching Tornado make fun of herself. For the entire night, Tornado was like a 100-watt light bulb and refused to give Borsalino and Fubuki any space to get along normally.
It was as if if she wasn't watching for a moment, Borsalino would take Fubuki to some unspeakable place and do unspeakable things.
In a sense, Tornado's premonition was correct. Fortunately, Borsalino didn't care about it. He even had the leisure to ask Lily to prepare the corresponding barbecue equipment and ingredients. He planned to have a barbecue on the training ground tomorrow.
Under Tornado's strict protection, Borsalino and Fubuki spent a night without any ambiguity.
Unfortunately, by the next morning, Tornado was unable to sleep the entire night because he was on high alert. During the day, he was too sleepy to get out of bed.
"Let her have a good sleep. This will save me the trouble of explaining things to her."
Borsalino shrugged. He had originally planned to take Fubuki to another world in front of Tornado to annoy her.
For some reason, every time he saw Tornado, Borsalino couldn't help but want to bully her a little.
The forty-eight heroes who persisted to the end yesterday and were not eliminated were already waiting on the training ground.
The reason why they were able to hold on to the end was largely due to Borsalino's promise that he would start teaching them fighting moves today.
Even an S-class hero like Flash is curious about what kind of moves a powerful being like Speed Flash, who has surpassed human limits, would use in battle.
"Here they come! It's the convoy of Fubuki Group!"
"That's great! I'm really looking forward to it!"
“I really hope we can start right away…”
……
The heroes stared at Borsalino who appeared in front of them. If it were anyone else, they would probably not be able to bear such a burning gaze.
Fortunately, Borsalino was not only a student at the Naval Academy, but was also called back by old man Zefa several times as an outstanding graduate representative, a naval rising star, the youngest naval officer and the youngest naval admiral to teach his juniors.
It's so sad to talk about it. Old man Zefa took advantage of him and took advantage of him, even under the pretext of helping him improve his prestige among the grassroots of the navy.
It was for this reason that Borsalino had long been accustomed to this kind of burning gaze full of curiosity and expectation. When he was a student at the Naval Academy, he had often looked at Zephyr with this kind of eyes.
"Well, so many people completed yesterday's training... This is a bit beyond my expectations."
Borsalino spoke without blinking. If Dragon, who had been with him for many years, or Nami, who was keen on observing him, were here, they would be able to tell immediately that Borsalino was about to lie.
No one present could escape the perception of Borsalino's Observation Haki. No matter how many people could complete yesterday's training, or even how much spare energy each person had after completing the training, it was all within Borsalino's expectations.
The only exception was the Unlicensed Knight, a 'monster' who almost defeated his own body with his will, and once again loosened the limiter. Otherwise, he would have collapsed in the last training.
However, there are many "monsters" like this in the pirate world, but most of them are powerful and well-known. It is the first time that Borsalino has seen such a weakling like the Unlicensed Knight but with such a strong will.
"Forget it, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. I think what you should want to know now is the move I'm going to teach you next... Storm Kick!"
Borsalino shook his head, and in front of the heroes, he kicked at a nearby cement stone pier at the minimum speed theoretically required to kick out the vacuum wind blade of the Storm Kick.
An invisible vacuum wind blade appeared at the moment Borsalino kicked, and slashed straight towards the stone pier more than a hundred meters away.
'call out! ’
Under the shocked gaze of the heroes, the stone pier made entirely of reinforced concrete was silently split in the middle. The cut was extremely smooth, like butter cut by a hot knife.
It is not difficult to imagine that if this kick was aimed at any of them, except for Flash who was sure to dodge it, even Qingyan could not guarantee that he could survive.
"This is one of the six styles you will learn today, the Storm Kick. The so-called Storm Kick uses a super-fast and powerful kick to roll up a vacuum to create a slash, and then attack the enemy in the distance."
While explaining, Borsalino casually kicked out a second storm kick, cutting the stone pillar horizontally in the middle.
Such a powerful attack power, coupled with Borsalino's nonchalant attitude, as if it was just eating and drinking, completely stimulated the heroes' enthusiasm for learning.
Who doesn't want to learn such powerful and cool moves? Even those members of the Fubuki team who had been eliminated were regretting why they didn't work harder yesterday.
Especially the mountain ape who fell down at the last moment was so angry that he wanted to smash his head with his fist.
Fortunately, Borsalino had promised them that they would have the opportunity to learn the Six Styles of the Navy afterwards, so they would not completely miss out on such powerful physical combat skills.
"The Storm Kick... It looks a bit similar to the Wind Blade Kick, but there seems to be some details I haven't noticed..."
Flash stared at Borsalino's right foot, trying to use his eyesight and experience to determine the secret of the Storm Kick.
Although as a speed-type assassin, he doesn't need to worry about being 'kite-flying' by his opponents, it's not a bad thing to learn such a powerful long-range attack.
"In addition to this, Storm Kicks or Six Styles can develop more exclusive moves, such as this... Storm Kicks: Typhoon Passes!"
Borsalino jumped lightly on the spot and kicked towards the empty training ground.
This time it was no longer a sharp vacuum wind blade, but a violent wind pressure like a landslide and tsunami, which instantly swept away the training ground within a radius of several kilometers. Countless large and small sand and gravel were all carried away by the wind pressure, and even the ground seemed to be a few inches lower out of thin air.
When the sixteen-year-old Borsalino developed this group attack AOE, he went to old man Zefa to show off, but was criticized by old man Zefa.
Apart from monsters like Borsalino, even the vice admirals of the headquarters don't have enough physical strength to launch such a move, and even if they can kick it, it is difficult to cause damage to those pirates who are definitely not weak.
Such a flashy move will naturally not be liked by a practical man like Zefa, but it is a first-class skill for showing off and creating shocking scenes. This can be easily seen from the faces of those heroes whose eyes are all starry.
"Sir Speed Flash, I want to know what other moves the Six Styles has?"
Flash spoke impatiently. He originally just wanted to use the training camp courses to determine the secret of Borsalino's transcendence of human limits.
But now it seems that the physical skills taught in the training camp itself are also worth learning. Just a Storm Kick makes Flash excited, and he begins to look forward to what the remaining five styles are.
The usually taciturn Flash actually asked a question, which surprised the heroes. However, what he asked was exactly what the heroes wanted to know the most. So, including the members of the Fubuki team, more than a hundred burning eyes fell on Borsalino again.
"...Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you first. The next move is the Moon Step, which is a step that moves in the air. I'll tell you more details after you learn the Storm Kick."
Borsalino didn't mean to whet the heroes' appetite, he just didn't want these guys to be too ambitious.
In fact, among so many heroes present, the only one who could learn Storm Kick in a short period of time was Flash's Flash. Even for the main general Mizuki with the best foundation and Qingyan, whose strength was close to that of an S-class hero, it would take a long time to master it.
As for the remaining heroes, Borsalino's expectation for them is that they can learn Storm Kicks and Moon Steps before the end of the training camp. It is estimated that no more than five heroes will be able to learn Razor.
"Remember to take off the bracelet and try to practice high-speed kicks. If you can do more than ten kicks per second within an hour, you can start practicing Storm Kicks. If you can't, put the bracelet back on and repeat yesterday's training course."
Borsalino's teaching method is quite simple and crude, but there is really no trick to the Six Styles of the Navy. As long as your physical fitness is up to standard, you can greatly increase the probability of mastering the Six Styles.
Similar to the Judicial Island, Straw Hat Luffy was able to learn just by watching it a few times. This is why Borsalino set a threshold for the heroes participating in the training camp. If they can't even meet the most basic standards, forced practice will only result in half the effort and twice the results.
After arranging the practice tasks for the heroes, Borsalino asked the members of the Fubuki team to put out the barbecue utensils, and he was also prepared to teach Fubuki some tricks.
"Ten times per second is too difficult, and I only have one hour... Huh?"
On the other side, the magician who was about to start practicing complained quietly, but the moment he took off the chakra weighted bracelet, he felt as if he was floating.
Two consecutive days of training intensity that exceeded the limit was not enough to truly bring about a qualitative change in the heroes participating in the training camp.
But what Borsalino sensed about the heroes' own limiters loosening was not false. He hadn't felt much when he was wearing the weighted bracelets before, but now that he had taken them off, his magic hands, which were sensitive enough to the changes in his own bodies, immediately felt the difference.
“Hey, hey, hey! Is this feeling…real?”
The vest vegetarian clenched his fists in disbelief. If an agile hero like Magic Hands only felt that his body became lighter, then he, who relied on pure strength to fight monsters, felt as if he was reborn.
He tried to swing his fists a few times quickly, and could even hear a faint sound of breaking wind in the air. It is no exaggeration to say that if he were to fight against himself two days ago, he might have an overwhelming advantage.
You know, just one day ago, the Vest Vegetarian was thinking about giving up and withdrawing from the training camp. If he hadn't seen that the heroes ranked far behind him were still gritting their teeth and holding on, the Vest Vegetarian, who just didn't want to lose face, might have been the first to give up.
However, at this moment he was extremely glad that he persisted, otherwise how could he experience such great progress.
“…This feeling!”
The usually taciturn Qingyan's cold expression gradually collapsed, and he stared at his hands in surprise and joy. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had experienced such an obvious sense of progress.
Ever since he became stronger and stronger, becoming a leader even among A-class heroes, it seemed like he was just standing still no matter how hard he trained.
Over time, even if he really becomes stronger, he will doubt whether it is just his illusion.
But this time the feeling was so real, no matter how unconfident Qing Yan was, he could clearly feel that the changes in his body were real!
"You guys over there! Hurry up. If you can't reach the goal, you still have training tasks to complete. Don't think that you won't be eliminated today just because you passed yesterday!"
Borsalino, who had already started a fire to burn charcoal, saw that there were still people in a daze, so he kindly reminded them.
He did not tell the heroes that the weight of the chakra weighted bracelet would continue to increase over time. If the heroes could not keep up with the bracelet in terms of strength, it would only be a matter of time before they were eliminated by the ever-increasing training tasks.
In fact, the fact that more than forty heroes could persist now was a bit beyond Borsalino's expectations. His original plan was to eliminate those with insufficient potential and those who were not hardworking enough as soon as possible, to train a group of elites in the shortest time, and then let the elites teach other heroes.
There are so many people now, and even if he wants to give targeted teaching, he doesn’t have enough energy.
"That's right! Practice! Isn't that just ten times per second? Go ahead!"
The magician couldn't wait to verify the results of his training, but when he ran to the wooden stake used for training, he found that the unlicensed C-level knight had already gotten ahead of everyone else and was kicking the stake frantically.
While others were still immersed in the joy of becoming stronger, the unlicensed knight who cherished this opportunity to become stronger the most did not even take a good look at the changes in his body, and immediately started new training.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
There are corresponding scales marked in advance on the wooden stakes, and heroes can find the kicking angle that is most likely to create a vacuum based on their height.
Although the Storm Kick trained in this way can only be kicked out at a fixed angle at first, once you become proficient in it, you will naturally be able to roll up a vacuum at any angle at will.
The unlicensed knight kicked the wooden stake very seriously. Even a hero close to S-level like Qingyan could clearly feel the changes in his body, not to mention him who originally had only C-level strength.
It was for this reason that he cherished the opportunity of the training camp even more, fearing that one day he would not be able to keep up with the progress and would be eliminated by Mr. Speedy Flash.
While other heroes were training intensively, Flash was not in a hurry to kick the wooden stakes. With his strength, he could easily complete the basic requirements of Storm Kick even without training.
“…I’ve become stronger…”
Flash Flash is somewhat incredible, but for other heroes, it is not surprising that high-intensity training can improve their strength.
No matter how lacking one's potential is, experiencing that kind of intense exploitation can still improve one's strength a lot.
But every S-class hero is the type who has already maximized his potential, especially Flash. In the field of pure speed, he has long reached the limit of human beings.
That is the real limit, an insurmountable chasm that cannot be surpassed no matter how much potential is squeezed, at least before today.
"How on earth did that guy do it..."
Glancing at Borsalino who was grilling meat, Flash couldn't help but pursed his lips, wanting to grab the other person and ask him clearly.
However, he was no match for the Speedy Flash, and now he needed the latter's help. Even someone as proud as Flash couldn't bring himself to interrogate Borsalino at this time.
(End of this chapter)
