Rowen was curious, what did Lirisk have in mind?
If Awakening the Devil Fruit power was so easy to develop, Zephyr had no reason to keep it from him.
So there was only one answer.
This method.
It must be very dangerous!
Extremely dangerous!
He is just not sure if it’s the process or the result.
Lirisk was ecstatic to get an answer, leading Rowen outside the camp. Along the way, busy workers hurriedly knelt in a row, avoiding angering the “World Noble.”
“This should do!”
Lirisk surveyed the surroundings, satisfied with the desolate environment nearby. Then he turned to Rowen and said, ” ‘Black Arm’ Zephyr’s judgment won’t be wrong!”
“When I awakened my Lizard-Lizard Fruit, I referred to the information he left behind. Although many people didn’t agree, his judgment of strength levels is absolutely top-notch in the world, without question!”
Rowen nodded.
Indeed, Zephyr was like that. Outsiders only saw his formidable strength as the “non-killing Admiral,” but it was his understanding of various combat techniques, experience in power development, and peak control skills that were most worthy of attention.
Rowen’s Human Artillery, Super Electromagnetic Cannon attack routines, and even the Supercharged Travel developed long ago, all had this old man’s guidance behind them.
Even his “Electric” move, which he couldn’t explain, Zephyr could provide him with such profound advice on its use, all thanks to his unparalleled vision and experience.
That move, Military Wrist·Deep Gate, Rowen still couldn’t fully comprehend, showing the vast difference between them.
Naturally, Zephyr’s commendation had one crucial point.
That was his ability to articulate.
Bald Zero was strong, starting from a Marine Admiral to a recruit camp General Instructor, then from a General Instructor to CP0 Two Mountains, he should have retired with flying colors long ago.
But his strength was only in himself.
Many truths were obvious to him, but outsiders could only see clouds and mist.
Zephyr, on the other hand, could tailor his teachings, explaining things clearly and thoroughly, allowing his disciples to understand their own strengths and weaknesses.
“So, what’s next? What should I do?” Rowen asked.
Lirisk found the reason for his politeness, but he hadn’t explained what to do yet.
“It’s simple, strive to maintain full-body Elementalization!”
Lirisk smirked, “Fruit Awakening has little to do with the Ability user itself, but rather, it’s a hurdle that must be crossed once the Fruit ability is developed to a certain depth.”
“This is the same for all three types of Ability users.”
“And the only factor that distinguishes between Awakening and non-Awakening is…”
“That is, Fusion!”
“Fusion?” Rowen silently chewed on this word, as if he had realized something.
“Similar three types, Fusion.”
With a gleam in his eyes, Rowen suddenly grinned, “I see. The most iconic example is that after the Awakening of Paramecia Ability users, they can Assimilate the surrounding environment, just like Doflamingo, Perospero.”
“Fusion. It integrates the fruit ability into the environment, so Logia types can Eternal change the climate.”
“Zoan is a Fusion of flesh and blood, so it needs to resist the b*stiality that is sufficient to destroy human reason after Fusion.”
“No wonder people say Logia Awakening is the simplest because we have Elementalization physique, we can communicate with the environment at any time, without the constraints of lower limits like Zoan and Paramecia with superhuman physique, so Awakening has a very high base.”
“Logia is the strongest. Not because of the BUG characteristics of Logia Elementalization, but because from the beginning, it lays the path for the Ability user’s future.”
Rowen raised his head silently, his lips curling up, “Our Elementalization, like the superhuman physique of Paramecia, is a physique change. This is the key to unlocking the door to Awakening for us, and also the innate advantage of Logia.”
“The switch is a very vivid metaphor.”
“If you’re stuck on the narrow path of Elementalization, immune to physical damage and restrained by Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), you’ll lose sight of the forest for the trees.”
At this point, Rowen felt something and glanced at Lirisk, who looked resentful. He asked in confusion, “Did I say something wrong?”
Lirisk: “…”
Come on, here’s the pen, you write it!
“No!”
You’ve said everything I know, what else can I say?!
With a furious muttered curse, Lirisk looked like a skeptical fish, raising his fist.
“Ready?”
To open the door to Logia Awakening, the simplest and most brutal way is to get hit. Get hit while maintaining Elementalization to withstand Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) attacks.
Find the differences in the constant combined dispersion of the body, and then open that door.
“Go ahead!” Rowen took a deep breath, his expression heavy as he spoke.
Opening the door is not the end, control is the goal. This violent shortcut to Awakening power, if it got out of control then the consequences would be unimaginable!
“Watch out then!”
Bang!
A punch struck, and Lirisk suddenly turned into a black streak, piercing straight through Rowen’s chest.
“Cough, Cough. That was fast!”
Rowen watched in astonishment, his expression filled with uncertainty.
From a slender streamlined figure to the current muscular robust man with broad shoulders, Lirisk’s speed not only didn’t decrease but increased. His powerful figure could attract a large group of lonely girls and women.
However,
“This asshole really just wants to beat me up, huh?”
Rowen squinted slightly, his eyes flashing with hostility.
Opening the switch required continuously dispersing the body in non-instinctive situations, jumping out of instinctive limitations under the interference of Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), so it didn’t matter which part was broken up.
Even with Elementalization protecting his body, getting punched through the chest without any protective measures still left Rowen seriously injured.
“Hehe!”
Lirisk noticed the change in Rowen’s eyes and grinned fiercely, “Take a hundred punches from me!”
If he didn’t strike now, there might not be another chance later!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dense explosions echoed continuously, and the sand and dust raised by the fist wind scattered like a sandstorm, changing the colors of the sky and earth.
Inside the camp, the CP0 agents sensed the changes in the environment outside and couldn’t help but shudder.
“This is the Celestial Dragon we need to protect?”
“I’m afraid they could handle a group of us without any problem?!”
That move, the First Style, was as fierce and swift as thunder and lightning, with each punch and kick carrying the force to split mountains and crack the earth.
“Do you guys forget that a couple of years ago, this Saint Lirisk and the Marine Soryu had a fight in the New World, which led to the war between the Marines and the Hundred Beasts Pirate Crew?”
An elderly worker with a cigarette in his mouth said to his astonished companion.
“It even made it to the news and caused quite a stir.”
“Oh!”
After a moment of thought, the companion suddenly realized, “It’s him!”
It was because of that battle that countless civilians in the sea realized that the Celestial Dragon, who had always been tyrannical, were not all powerless idiots like fat pigs.
In this world, it’s not about being afraid of others being better off than you, it’s about being afraid that those who are better off than you are working harder!
Lirisk used his fists to change the Sea’s inherent perception of Celestial Dragons.
However,
“What are they doing now?”
“I don’t know, probably… sparring?”
Watching Lirisk launching countless attacks at Rowen in the distance from the camp, these civilians were completely puzzled.
Half an hour later,
Whoosh… Crack!
A side whip kick dispersed Rowen, and Lirisk took a slow breath, secretly wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“It’s coming!”
Rowen, truly the strongest genius of the new generation in the Marines, not only had a solid theoretical understanding but also an incredibly adaptable body.
From initially being at a loss to now being calm and composed, it only took him half an hour.
However, as he continued to sense that peculiar reorganization, Lirisk’s sixth sense told him something.
It told him to Run!
The farther, the better!
The Awakening power of Logia is coming!
