Chapter 454: The Ancestor of the Fur Tribe
...
"Swish..."
A gentle breeze blew by, and the shadows of the trees in the forest swayed, making a rustling sound.
Bird's Nest Island is located in the Devil's Triangle. Before it became the base camp of Geer and installed an artificial sun, it lacked sunlight all year round. Therefore, most of the trees grew crookedly, and none of them were straight and towering. They were like children abandoned by nature, lonely, helpless, and deformed.
“Ah~! Ah~! Ah!”
Deep in the forest, crows are singing happily, but their calls are rather unique and are often subjectively interpreted and criticized by humans who do not know how to appreciate them.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. It felt soft and comfortable when one stepped on them, and the sunlight also fell on the smiling faces of the two kittens, who were finally able to relax.
...
"Thank you, Captain Gur!"
Pedro and Pokumus relieved their inner anxiety after Captain Gel's psychological training. On the side, the fat and open-minded Jiebo only nodded and agreed with Captain Gel's point of view. He agreed with Captain Gel's point of view 100%! Eat and drink enough, practice and play! He has already comprehended this realm.
"Asshole, why are you thanking me? You are so distant with me! It seems that you can't adapt to the life outside! I should send you back to Zou!"
Gel knocked on the two men's heads and scolded with a smile.
"Ah! Sorry Captain!"
Pedro and Pokmuse hurriedly apologized.
"Okay, just teasing you guys."
Pinching Pokmous's lion mane, although it was a bit disrespectful, Gel found that every time he got along with these furry kids, he couldn't help but think of the dog he raised in the countryside when he was a child.
"... "
"By the way, Captain, are you here today specifically to guide us in our training?"
Pedro asked suddenly.
"Hohoho! Really? That's great!"
Pokmuse also shouted excitedly.
"I heard from everyone that many of their powerful moves were actually taught by you, Captain! Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. I heard it from Brother Ajin himself. The captain also taught him how to summon the thunderbolt a few days ago and wipe out the entire group of golden lions with one strike! Captain, you are amazing!"
The aho hair on Jie Bo's head trembled, and his expression became uncontrollably excited.
The Minks have a natural affinity with lightning, which makes them envy Ajin's ability to summon it in battle.
"Hahaha, you all know this. Keep a low profile, keep a low profile! Just keep it to yourself and don't spread it out."
Children can't lie. This kind of heartfelt admiration made Captain Gul a little too proud of himself and he began to feel elated again.
"That's so cool! Captain, can you teach us too? Swordsmanship? Lightning control? Anything is fine!"
"That's right! Captain, you are so powerful, please teach us a few tricks! We also want to become stronger!"
Pedro and Jepo requested.
Pokmus had even stuffed the wooden sword into Gel's hand, wanting to see him show off his skills.
"Um... this!"
The corners of Gel's mouth twitched and the smile on his face froze instantly.
He thought to himself that he had only helped to come up with a name for the move, but why were the villagers always spreading rumors? Look, they were misleading the children.
"Ahem, Captain, I only gave them some pointers. The key lies in their own efforts!"
Gel coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and tried to get away with it.
If you don’t know swordsmanship, what is the art of controlling thunder?
I am just a big talker and I can't teach anything. For Ajin's development of the natural thunder fruit, I only sponsored a few books on electricity and helped him spoof the name of a move. The rest was all up to him to practice hard on his own and it had nothing to do with me.
Seeing the expectation in the eyes of the three little ghosts in front of him, Captain Gill, who didn't want to disappoint them, was a little troubled for a moment.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Gel sat down on the ground, put his right fist to his mouth, coughed twice to clear his throat, and was about to start talking nonsense again.
"Okay! I originally wanted to wait until you grow up before teaching you, but I didn't expect you to be so self-disciplined and hardworking at such a young age. It seems that I can't keep it a secret any longer!"
"Captain! Speak!"
The three little ones gathered in a circle, took out their notebooks and listened attentively.
"Well, actually, I think the sword techniques and lightning techniques I just mentioned are not suitable for you."
"Ah this?!"
The three people who practiced sword-fighting diligently together whenever they had free time opened their mouths wide when they heard this.
Ger stroked his chin in thought.
I don't know if the Minks were influenced by the samurai of Wano Country, but many people like to use knives and swords. But in fact, close combat is their advantage, and transforming into a "Moon Lion" is the strongest fighting form of the Minks. No matter their size and physical fitness are greatly improved, even their domineering aura will be strengthened. In this form, the fighting style of the Minks returns to the instinctive fighting of wild beasts. Why would they need swords and fancy swordsmanship?
So in Gel's opinion, practicing swordsmanship is useless for the Fur Tribe.
"You, the fur tribe, are similar to the fishmen. Compared to ordinary humans, you have natural advantages in terms of speed and strength. In addition, you have the electric properties and the super-enhanced attributes of the Moon Lion form!"
"It's right to listen to the captain. Give up all the fancy things and concentrate on learning physical skills and domineering. Constantly improve your physical fitness and physical strength. The ultimate physical training is the most suitable path for you!"
Ger said seriously.
"Hmm! I see!"
Pedro and the other two nodded, and after Captain Gill's analysis, they also felt that it seemed to be the case.
Ger thought for a moment and continued.
"Also, the static electricity that the fur tribe possesses shouldn't just be used to paralyze the enemy. You can try to see if you can use it for defense and to shock yourself."
"Electricize yourself??"
"According to historical records, 800 years ago, a powerful warrior appeared in the Mink Tribe. He was able to combine lightning with Armament Haki and use the hard hair of the Mink Tribe to form an indestructible armor outside his body. This layer of armor can greatly improve his defensive capabilities in battle, and ordinary attacks cannot cause any damage to him at all."
Gel described it vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Wow!! Siguoyi! Have we, the Fur Tribe, ever had such a powerful ancestor? Captain, do you know his name?"
The three little ones couldn't help but exclaimed.
(Ajin: Why does this story sound so familiar? The last time I told you this, I remember you were talking about the previous owner of the Thunder Fruit, right? How come you are now the ancestor of the Fur Tribe?)
Fortunately, Ajin is not here and no one can ruin my performance, Gel continued.
"I think it was called something like 'Ai'? Or 'Bi'? I can't quite remember the name."
"It doesn't matter what your name is, don't interrupt me, I haven't finished yet!"
"I'm sorry, Captain, please continue."
The three people, curious about the story, moved forward and sat closer to Captain Gir.
