In One Piece As A Pirate

Chapter: 12

13 days before Rood woke up.

On an unknown island, the Roods pirates had a fight with Wolf and his people. When the Rood Pirate crew members wake up,.

They looked for their captain and eventually found the old man. Mokume and K.Kish know this old man. So, they told the story to their crew.

"Old man, do you know what happened to our captain and duke?" Mokume asked while looking at two dead bodies in the bear cave.

"This one tried some techniques when he was fighting. Something unexpected happened. He needs a lot of liquid-type nutrition soup. He isn't dead. He just lost a lot of vitality." Old explained the situation while pointing at Duke.

"This one here. His vitality is okay. But I can't tell when he will wake up." The old man looked at Rood and told him his condition. The crew members can't do anything. No one is a doctor here. So they can only listen to the old man.

10 days before Rood woke up.

Today, as usual, Mokume made a huge bowl of soup-like things and fed Duke, who was unconscious. Suddenly, Duke roared and woke up. And all the liquid was thrown to the side.

Hearing the sound, all the crew members came to Duke.

"Where is Rood?" Duke saw that only Rood was missing. So, he asks everyone. Mokume told him everything that had happened. Hearing what Mokume said. Duke feels very sad that, for him, his friend Rood has gone mad.

"So, what did the old man say to you guys?" Duke asked and wanted to know even more.

"He can't tell when Rood will wake up, but he didn't go anywhere on the island. Just stay with us," Mokume replied to Duke's question. Duke, stand up and drink all the soup in one go.

"Mokume Can you cook something? I am very hungry right now. Duke looked at Mokume and requested his needs.

"Don't worry; take a rest. I will call when food is ready." Mokume and others went away. 30 minutes later, when the food was ready, Duke started to eat. After finishing his meal, Duke went out. His destination is a forest.

After coming into the dense jungle, Duke looked at his fist and leg. Slowly bend a little. Clench his fists and try to harden his leg. A few minutes later, Dukes tried every part of the body to make it hard.

Slowly, time passed, and sometimes later, his whole body was like a stone. No, it can be a statue of a human. A bird sits at the top of Duke's head. Take shit out on Duke and was looking for its hunt. All the time, Duke didn't move. Just like that, one day goes by. Duke is still holding on to that position.

But something seems to be moving. After taking a closer look, we can see that Duke's hand is slowly changing its position. Starting with the finger, Duke started to change the position of his hand to look like a bird. But his body hasn't changed; it still looks like a stone statue.

After one day,

Duke again started to change his leg position. One leg is on the ground. He is standing on one leg right now. Just like that, Duke changes his position every 24 hours. 7 days later. In the forest. Today, Duke can be seen holding one hand on the tree, and the rest of his body is hovering on the ground.

Duke suddenly opened his eyes. Get down from the tree. Start moving in every fight attack he knows. But in this process, his body is still as hard as stone. His movements were like some blunt objects that were breaking trees in every direction.

After some time, he stopped his training. He looks at his body.

'After fighting with wolves, my body defence has increased. Now it's closed to the Navy's Tekkai (iron body). But my Tekkai doesn't have any weaknesses. I can move freely when I am in Tekkai form.'

Hazel came to the forest to look for Duke. Duke also heard the movement. And look at the direction in which Hazel was coming.

"Captain has woken up." Hazel informs Duke about Rood.

"Okay, let's go." Duke let go of his Tekkai form and walked in the direction of the cave. After they came to the cave, they saw that Rood was answering the question of that old man.

When Rood saw that his friend Duke was still alive and well, he breathed relief.

"Get something to eat for our Captain." Duke told everyone. And wait until the old man finishes his conversation.

"Oh, did you find out what happened to you?" After that, the old man came out of the cave. He looked in the direction where Duke was standing, drinking.

"Well, maybe I was stuck in the middle of my training when I was getting beaten by a bear." Duke didn't lie; he just told the truth.

"What's the name of that technique?" The old man asks as. His illness.

"It's a kind of Navy's physical exercise. But my one is a little different. "Duke gave the information. The reason Duke is pitying this old man is because how could an old man in his dying stage be doing on this unknown island?

"You have become more polite since the last time we met." The old man didn't question Duke again; he just inquired about his change of behaviour.

"So why do you guys lie to me when I ask about your business? Why didn't you guys tell me that you guys are pirates? If you are afraid of being a pirate, then why set sail on this sea?" The old man asked various questions.

He didn't get any replies from Duke. The old man went to the other members.

After 1 hour, food was ready. Everyone started to finish their meal. Rood and Duke got the largest share. While eating and drinking. My mind was somewhere else. He is thinking about his dream. From when he fainted to this point, Rood didn't know why. He had the same dream.

Like one dream is playing several times in a row. A dream where he aged to the point of being old. In that dream, he keeps slashing at the sky, and this continues to the point of being old and then dying.

After their meal,

"So, what was in that cave. "Rood asked while looking in the direction of everyone.

"Nothing but four different log positions. Three look the same; it has three needles. Only one is a bit different; it has only one needle." K.Kish explained what they found.

"That's it?" Rood looks disappointed.

"There was money, two maps, and a musket. Musket was very normal." Mokume replied.

"We take rest for another 10 days. Then we set sail again to the Roshwan Kingdom." Rood looked at everyone and told his friends. After that, Rood and Duke went to the side.

"I thought you were dead, dumb bear." Rood looked at Duke and gave his opinion.

"I can't disagree with you. I need huge amounts of force, just like that bear. Duke sighs while looking at the sea.

"Or there may be some lethal attack method." Rood gave his opinion.

"I somehow reached the point where I could harden my body, and I can even move while using it," Duke said of his achievements in this fight.

"After getting beaten by a bear, you can somehow learn that technique. I can't believe it!" Rood looked at Duke with a little shock in his eyes.

"Didn't you explain it like that: when we can't defeat an opponent and use all our energy to save the vital parts of the body by hardening them with all our strength. "Duke reminded Rood about his lecture.

"But after the battle, you turn into a stone corpse. What doesn't it mean?" Rood asked while he remembered the last thing.

"I also don't know about that, Duke replied while thinking about his battle with Wolf.

"Why did you choose this Sabre from the bag?" Rood asked Duke while looking at his new Sabre.

"Its mass was greater than any other scrap Sabre in that bag, Duke replied after a while.

Now that we have three different log poses, what should we do? go to the Grand Line. Look for treasure with those two maps.

"Do you know there is a pirate with a height of 23+ feet in the new world? Think about how much force that guy can generate compared to this little bear." Rood was informing Duke about the horrors of the New World.

"Don't worry, I have a plan for my training." Duke tried reassuring Rood with a smile.

"I need to find a large tree here. You go to your own work." Rood took his leave early. Rood started looking for a large tree. After looking for minutes, he came to a large tree.

He took out his new Sabre. He slashed his Sabre, but there wasn't any wind resistance on his Sabre. The moment it fell on that tree, the Sabre went deep enough to reach the middle of the tree. I don't know how I learned this, but this is amazing.

'The advantage is: There wasn't any sound in my swing. There wasn't any wind resistance. The disadvantage is that, with this technique, I won't be able to send a flying slash. Or maybe I didn't even learn how to send a flying slash, so I am underestimating it.'

Let's try speed. With that, he started to swing his Sabre. In different postures. A few months later,

'Let's try to make some slashes, stabs, and chops on a different tree within my range where I can go in 2-3 seconds. It will consume my stamina and help me build my body's strength.'

One thing good about Rood's body is that he can use Sabre with both hands. So, he keeps changing his hand while practicing.

'When will I get a good musket.....
