Level 5 Red Dragon Fruit

"The effect of the Six Styles came out so quickly, which was beyond my expectation."

"Only…"

Gawain looked at Lucci, his gaze gradually turning cold: "This way, you will lose your usefulness, and I will confront you at the next stop."

"If I can't really recruit you, then I'll have no choice but to send you on your way."

Lucci felt a chill on his back and subconsciously looked back but found nothing.

His brows furrowed slightly: "After what happened before, White Knight Gawain should have let down his guard against me and Kalifa."

"An illusion? That must be it."

Between his words, Lucci shook his head and turned his attention to the pirates around him.

He was careful to correct everyone's mistakes in practice and, in the process, gradually sorted out his own understanding of the Six Styles.

Through this method, he has gained a lot of insights in the past half month, and his understanding of the Six Styles has been further deepened.

Even strange feelings beyond the five senses frequently appear.

He knows he's not far from awakening his Haki.

In the captain's cabin, seeing that Lucci looked returned to normal, Gawain looked at him again with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "This almost instinctive sense of crisis…"

"Did he sense something?"

"This guy's talent is probably not weaker than Sanji and Zoro."

For a while, Gawain felt a surge of admiration for talent, but it only lasted for a moment before he suppressed it: "If I can't use it, no matter how good your talent is, it's meaningless. It all depends on your choice, Lucci."

Time flies, and the sky gradually darkens.

The thunderclouds in the sky became thicker, and lightning even struck the sea from time to time.

A storm is brewing.

The people on the Raven had long been accustomed to the changeable weather on the Grand Line, and after finding a deserted island that could block the wind and waves, they dropped anchor there.

Except for Van Augur, Zoro, and a few pirates who were on night watch, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Now, on the Raven, in a suite.

Kalifa was sitting in the living room holding the order she had just received from the CP organization in her hand.

"Does the person from the headquarters suddenly want to meet with us?"

Lucci frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

This is because, for agents who are carrying out missions, especially undercover agents, every contact with people from the CP organization increases the possibility of being exposed.

Therefore, unless necessary, information is exchanged through Den Den Mushi or middlemen.

This was the first time they had encountered such an order.

Kalifa raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, a hint of satisfaction flashing through her pupils: "I heard that Spandam was investigated for some things some time ago, and now our direct superior has been replaced."

"Maybe it's because of this."

Lucci remained silent, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't find any other reason, so he could only respond vaguely: "I hope so."

"By the way… Kalifa…"

Kalifa looked up at Lucci and said puzzledly: "What?"

"Nothing, just be careful."

Kalifa nodded.

The only figure that came to her mind was Gawain.

She couldn't help but ask herself: If her new superior asked me to take action against Gawain, would I be able to do it?

She looked at the silent Lucci again and asked: "If I ask you to attack Gin, what can you do?"

They had no answers to these two questions, or perhaps they already had the answers.

The night is getting darker.

Gawain sat in the captain's cabin.

The lamp on the table flickered, and thunder and lightning flashed outside the window.

The big raindrops hit the deck, making a crackling noise like frying beans, so Gawain simply closed the window.

At this moment, the system prompt sound came to his ear:

"Physique experience +1645!"

"Red Dragon fruit +377"

"Armament Haki experience +286!"

"Six Styles (all) experience +2071!"

"Swordsmanship experience..."

As another wave of experience was harvested, Gawain's skills also ushered in a breakthrough.

Physique had already reached level 15 a few days ago, and the awakened features were the same as Gawain expected, as well as the terms of the balance series.

Its name is Celestial Being.

This ability almost completely reshaped Gawain's body, helping him complete a transformation from the inside out.

Strength, agility, and nerve speed have all been greatly improved.

What's more, this ability made Gawain feel like he had experienced a new life. He even suspected that this was the state of unity between man and nature in fantasy novels.

Gawain's already outstanding appearance becomes even more extraordinary due to the powerful effect brought by the Celestial Being feature.

In the first few days, Kalifa's eyes were almost glued to him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Nami and the others also felt it was strange. They couldn't tell what was wrong, but they just felt that Gawain was different from before. He exuded an aura that made people want to get close to him.

Gawain could only attribute his own changes to the effect of comprehending the mystery of Life Return.

For a while, everyone was more motivated to train in the Six Styles.

Although Lucci and Kalifa were a little surprised, they did not investigate further.

Just because of the Life Return thing, although the basic ability is similar due to each person's personality, combat preference, and physical condition, the final effect is slightly different.

With the infusion of experience tonight, Gawain's Red Dragon fruit finally reached the next level.

 > Devil Fruit, Red Dragon: Level 4 (14, 765/15,000) --> Devil Fruit, Red Dragon: Level 5 (102/25,000) 

"The host's Red Dragon fruit has been upgraded to Level 5. You can choose one of the following features."

"Battle Armor, Blazing Flames, Sharp Claws."

"Three feature options?"

Gawain looked at the three branch options provided by the system, and he fell into deep thought for a moment.

Blazing Flame and Sharp Claws are easy to understand; they are enhancements to dragon breath and dragon claws, respectively.

Both are biased towards the abilities of the Red Dragon itself, but one emphasizes the damage of the dragon breath, and the other emphasizes close combat.

Gawain eliminated the sharp claws immediately.

After all, he has now developed a Demon Form based on the principle of the Rumble Ball.

The Demon Form combines the strength of the Human-Beast Form with Gawain's own speed and is the most suitable combat form for him.

At this time, it would be a bit useless to choose the sharp claws that enhance the Red Dragon's fighting ability.

Instead, it was the Battle Armor and the Blazing Flames that made Gawain hesitate.

"The blazing flame is very clear. It should be used to strengthen the power of the Red Dragon's breath. After it is taken, the long-range attack method will be much more complete."

"But this Battle Armor…"

Gawain had a hunch.

This branch feature is directly linked to the Demon Form that he developed.

After some hesitation, Gawain made a decision: "The Red Dragon's breath is mostly used to clear large areas. The current strength is enough. If it's not enough, I can just use the Emperor Requiem and erase the map together."

"I choose… the Battle Armor!"
