Chapter 41

I got to the ship in just a couple of seconds, my speed improved noticeably, so this was not a problem. I stood in the air above the ship and began to watch what was happening below.

For some reason, the "Hangman's" team fumbled and checked the guns and their equipment, it seems, they decided to attack us. Well, this is not surprising, we lowered the sails and stood a hundred meters away from them, and their base is nearby, so for them it is almost a challenge to their authority. I would be surprised if they just ignored us.

I was in no hurry to attack, there were only two strong auras on the ship, most likely their captain and his first mate. Although, judging by the aura, they do not even match the "Chicken-head", and its strength was even slightly higher than that of Crocodile. If they had fought, Crocodile might not have lost, but only at the expense of his fruit. Therefore, it was not a problem to deal with them, but I wanted to check something ...

"Interface". - I said calmly.

A familiar window with a tree of talents appeared before my eyes, the fact that almost everything was available, of course pleased me, but also saddened. I wanted to take everything, but there would not be enough points for that. For example, I would not give up a couple of skills Rokushiki, Kami-e and Geppo, would be quite useful. Kami-e would be nice to combine with the will of observation, and would help to avoid attacks of opponents more effectively. As for Geppo, it is even more useful for me, in my current state, flying is not particularly difficult, but fighting in the air is quite difficult. I don't have any support, so dodging and attacking is terribly inconvenient, and Geppo would help me get rid of this deficiency. Although, now it's not in a hurry, so I turned my attention to a more useful skill.

"Weapon hacks", what would be very useful for me now, against fruit and against cutting weapons, is an irreplaceable thing, especially with my fighting style. Therefore, I did not think for a long time and put a development point into this skill.

* B-z-z *

Immediately I felt how knowledge about the will of weapons flows into my head, how to use it, how to train it, absolutely everything, as if I had been training for at least a year. The haki of weaponry was very different from the haki of observation, using haki to sense spiritual energy was fundamentally different from using haki to defend.

I raised my hand and covered it with the will of arms, the color of the hand immediately changed, it became darker and shinier, as if covered with something metallic. The sensation was a little strange, like a crust on the body, but at the same time it felt like a part of me, I could feel its strength and strengthen it in a certain place on my hand. Although, my limit was to cover both arms to the elbows, and then I felt that nothing would work out. Well, this is not surprising, because this is the first time I use this skill, unlike Soru, the experience of using the skill and all the skill was not transferred to me, I rather just opened the initial level. In order to master khaki in skill, I need two hundred more growth points, and this is quite expensive, for now I need to figure out this level.

And it was for this that I waited, they were already fully prepared, already they began to raise the anchor and sails. It's time to say hello.

* Vshuh *

I moved to the ship and said with a smile:

- What a meeting, this is the Hangman team, how are you?

All the pirates around got alarmed and surrounded me, one of them shouted:

- Who are you ?! What the hell did you forget on our ship ?!

I chuckled:

- Yes, so, I came to try out new skills ... - And instantly moved to the screaming big man and hit him in the nose with a fist covered with will.

* Grunt *

The guy didn't even have time to scream, his nose and mouth simply pressed into his skull, he didn't even fly away from me, my fist just pierced his head and he remained dead with my hand in his head. It struck me a little, I did not even expect that willpower increases strength and impact power so much. Previously, this guy would just fly off, and the maximum would remain half-dead, but here, instant death ...

I pulled my fist out of the pirate's head, and shook off his brains with blood, then walked my gaze across the crowd, and said with a grin:

- Call your cap, I'm too lazy to waste time on you.

- Who do you think you are bastard ?! - I heard someone screaming, then the crowd began to part and a long man appeared in front of me. He was three meters tall, but at the same time terribly thin, with a slightly unusual head. She was disproportionately large, and slightly flattened, resembled an egg, besides, he was bald, and even with bulging eyes. His appearance was not that frightening, but rather the opposite.

My eye twitched and I muttered:

- What's wrong with your head? The chicken couldn't hatch you?

After my words, everyone around froze and tensed, as if they heard something shocking, at first I did not understand, but then as I understood ...

- Aaarrg, what are you saying about my head bitch? I'll gut you! - The egg-head blushed terribly and went into a rage, it even seemed to me that his head had increased in volume. After his cry, he attacked me with his sledgehammer with all his fury. Heh, looks like I hurt him. And at the same time, I felt another movement from my back, as if a snake crept up and rushed to attack ...

* Vshuuh *

A dagger flashed near my neck, and I calmly dodged and stretched out my hand.

* Babakh *

The egghead sledgehammer was blocked without any problems. I turned towards the guy with the dagger and immediately recognized him. It was the "Hangman", the infamous pirate, slave trader and murderer. His appearance was roughly described to me by Robin, thin, small, and with a sassy face, a typical bandit. His favorite fighting style is to slowly sneak up and attack from the shadows, most often to choke, but he usually does this with weak people who cannot resist. For this he was nicknamed "The Hanging Man".

I grinned and greeted:

- Hanged man, here you are, ready to die?

He grimaced and hissed:

"You came to my ship and you think you can kill me?

I didn't say anything, I just attacked.

* Vshuuh * * Bach *

Instantly moving behind the big man, I attacked him in the back. His reaction was good and he was almost able to block my punch, but unfortunately ...

- Ghaaa ... - He flew off and splattered everything with blood. Most likely, all of his ribs are broken. I had a strong blow before, and now it is also reinforced by will, he simply did not have a chance to block it.
