Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Chapter 40 I foresee that you are destined for bloodshed!

Bang!

Bang!

The meditation on the deck continued in the afternoon.

Following Hill's suggestion from the morning, Luo blindfolded himself and fought against Zhang Shan.

However, for a normal person, suddenly losing their sight, which they have always relied on, makes even walking a cautious activity, let alone fighting.

Therefore, the afternoon's training session was still a one-sided thrashing of Luo by Zhang Shan.

"Get moving! Can't you hear me swinging this stick? Can't you hear the sound of the air being scraped?"

Bang!

It landed squarely on Luo's body again, sending him flying and crashing into the ship's mast.

"Damn it! Don't use so much force!" Luo rolled on the ground in pain, his usual aloof aura completely gone.

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm training your resilience!" Zhang Shan said righteously, "In battles between strong individuals, physical strength is the key to victory. With a weak constitution like yours, one punch from me would knock you out of your seat, let alone let you fight me!"

Luo's screams subsided considerably upon hearing this, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Again!"

The crowd's eyes revealed admiration, and their gazes toward Luo were filled with approval.

Even after being beaten black and blue, Luo didn't let out another scream. He gritted his teeth, seemingly persisting in something.

After knocking Luo away again and sending him crashing into the wall, Zhang Shan said, "Luo, if it hurts, you should cry out. We're training here, you don't need to hold it in. If you keep holding it in, it will cause problems."

Upon hearing this, Luo was stunned for a moment, then gasped for breath and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to train my ability to withstand blows?"

“That’s right, but it didn’t say you can’t scream.” Zhang Shan said calmly. “But you’re really good at holding your breath, you didn’t make a sound for three whole hours!”

"You bastard! You should have explained this from the beginning!!" Luo's tone returned to one of gritted teeth. If he weren't blindfolded, Zhang Shan estimated that the anger in Luo's eyes would have burned him to death several times over by now...

"Fine, my mistake." Zhang Shan brandished the stick in his hand: "Let's continue!"

Just as he was about to make a move, Blue on the lookout suddenly shouted, "Captain! There's a pirate ship ahead!"

"I understand. Does the other side intend to move closer?" Zhang Shan paused what he was doing and asked Bru.

"They're rapidly approaching us!"

"They really have guts!" Zhang Shan smirked and said to the crowd, "Prepare for battle!"

“Leave this enemy to me.” Krillin leaped over the railing, looking at the ships getting closer and closer in the distance, and said to Zhang Shan, “Captain, once we’ve dealt with these guys, let’s head straight for the Grand Line. There’s no need to waste any more time in the Four Seas.”

“No problem.” Zhang Shan agreed without hesitation.

Although there are many strong individuals in the North Blue where they live, they are no match for the Grand Line.

As the two ships drew closer, the other's appearance came into Zhang Shan's view.

A man with long golden hair, an expressionless face, wearing a white and gold robe, and holding a deck of cards appeared before them.

"This is Hawkins, who made a name for himself a while ago. His abilities are things like divination; he's quite mysterious," Hill said to the group.

"Well, the other party isn't that trash like the previous Violent Bear. Want some help?" Zhang Shan said with a smile.

"unnecessary."

Klin drew his longsword from his waist, held it in one hand, and pointed the tip at Hawkins.

As the two drew closer, just as Klin was about to make his move, Hawkins spoke up!

"Don't make a move yet. I didn't come here to fight."

"Hmm?" Zhang Shan sat on the railing next to Klin, looking at Hawkins with a puzzled expression.

“I’m here to form an alliance with you,” Hawkins said bluntly.

"An alliance?"

"Yes."

"benefit."

"Benefits?" Hawkins closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "You will soon face a life-or-death ordeal, and I can help you through it."

"I'm going to be in trouble?" Zhang Shan looked incredulous. He could now take down a lieutenant general with a single punch, and he could even hold his own against a general. Who could possibly put him in a life-or-death situation?

"That's the result of the divination." Hawkins met Zhang Shan's gaze calmly, not appearing to be lying.

"This is no benefit. I'm the kind of person who doesn't believe in fate!" Zhang Shan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget about the alliance. Get out of here, or we'll have to take action."

"what a pity."

As Hawkins sailed away, everyone on the ship turned to look at Zhang Shan.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't worry, I definitely won't die." Zhang Shan said in a relaxed tone, "I think that guy calculated that he would be beaten to death by us, so he came up with this excuse to escape."

"Never mind, just keep it to yourself." Hill sighed, but her trust in Zhang Shan prevented her from saying more. She just kept a watchful eye on things and decided to keep the captain away from dangerous places and make sure he did fewer stupid things in the future!

After beating Luo for another two hours, as dusk fell, Zhang Shan threw down the stick in his hand and said to Luo, "Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."

"it is good……"

Luo lay down on the ground, feeling his numb body. He suddenly asked, "Captain, are you really not concerned about that guy's divination? It's better to believe in these things than not."

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!" Zhang Shan grinned. "Even if the heavens want to kill me, I'll still bite off a piece of flesh from them!"

"And I won't die!"

There are countless Zhang Shans in other worlds. Although he doesn't know how many worlds he has traveled through or why he has traveled through so many worlds, after meeting the ninja Zhang Shan, he knows that they are actually the same person. There is an unbreakable connection between them. They are both the original body and they are also clones.

Furthermore, they firmly believe that one day in the future they will return to oneness and become truly powerful!

Therefore, he will not die. Even if he dies here, there will be countless versions of himself in other worlds!

Seeing Zhang Shan's smile, Luo's lips also unconsciously curled up, and he murmured, "Yes, I won't let you die. Even if you are torn to pieces, as long as you have a breath left, I will save you."

"Hey, hey, hey! Can't you have a better outlook?" Zhang Shan laughed and scolded, then stepped forward and pulled Luo up: "Go put on your medicine, then it's time to eat!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Can't you be a little gentler?"

"Stop babbling and get going, you grown men!"

Snapped!

"Ow!!"

Chapter 41 I Only Want Mythical Beasts

"Captain, there's an auction in the Kingdom of Nion in a couple of days. There's a Devil Fruit as the grand finale. Shall we go check it out?" Hill asked Zhang Shan after seeing the news about the Devil Fruit on the newspaper in his hand.

"Let me see."

Taking the newspaper from Hill, Zhang Shan looked at the picture of the fruit and shook his head, saying, "This should be a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, not my target."

"Is that so? Forget it then."

At this moment, Luo asked in confusion, "What kind of fruit does the captain want?"

"Mythical Zoan type," Zhang Shan said. "I'm not particularly interested in Paramecia or Logia types; only the top-tier Mythical Zoan fruits are my target!"

"Top-tier Mythical Zoan species, those are much rarer than Logia-type ones," Krillin smiled. "There are probably no more than ten known Mythical Zoan species in the entire world right now, right?"

“Yeah, Captain, your standards for Devil Fruits are too high~” Blue said, resting his head on his arms. “I still prefer Paramecia types. It’s said that Whitebeard, who is now known as the strongest man in the world, is a Paramecia type Tremor-Tremor Fruit user!”

"That's not just hearsay, it's true," Zhang Shan said. "Whitebeard, when we get to the New World, we must fight Whitebeard!"

"Hey! Don't set such an ambitious goal all of a sudden!" Law said helplessly and listlessly, "Do you know how strong Whitebeard is? He's a terrifying guy who can easily destroy an island!"

Newspapers often report unfounded stories, such as the Four Emperors causing destruction, massacres, or destroying islands during battles.

By attaching pictures of the island's destruction to the post, the credibility of the message was greatly increased.

But the actual situation is probably only known to those involved.

Zhang Shan simply didn't believe that the old man Whitebeard would destroy islands for no reason, or that he was trying to hasten his own death by using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

He glanced at the newspaper again, finding it to be mostly useless stuff, then placed it on the table and laughed at everyone, "Don't worry! That white-bearded guy is no match for me!"

"Hey, where do you get your confidence from?" Blue looked at his captain speechlessly. "But since the captain's goal is so ambitious, we can't fall too far behind! It's decided, I'm going to get stronger too! I'll start by eating an extra bowl of rice tomorrow!"

"I think you just want to eat one more bowl of rice!"

"Oops~ I've been seen through~"

Although it was a bit silly, the next day, Blue also got beaten up along with Luo.

His physical abilities are not as good as Law's. After all, he was just an ordinary person before, who had never eaten a Devil Fruit and had never received systematic training.

However, because of this, Blue's progress is visible to the naked eye!

They sailed on the sea for a week, and Blue's muscle definition became very obvious. Moreover, Blue's talent for Armament Haki was extraordinary; after only being beaten up for a week, he was already able to feel the so-called "ki sense".

Euli Town.

This is a lawless zone in the North Blue, occupied by pirates year-round. It is the last stop on the way from the North Blue to the Grand Line, similar to Gro Town in the East Blue.

However, Gro Town is entirely under the control of the Navy, while Olli Town is a paradise for pirates.

"After this, we'll be entering the Grand Line. We need to buy quite a lot of things. Krillin will stay and watch the ship, while the rest of you help with the shopping." Hill led everyone aboard the island, carrying a stack of shopping lists.

Compared to the previous island, the environment in the town of Ori is much harsher.

Screams could be heard coming from the alleyways along the street, and red liquid could be faintly seen flowing out.

In an inconspicuous corner, a group of emaciated drug addicts, looking like zombies, were holding a bottle of drugs, their faces full of enjoyment. Then, their older brother, who disliked them, dragged them to the back of the house and gave them a severe beating.

There were even people openly selling slaves, both men and women, kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes, waiting to be chosen.

Zhang Shan and his group walked down the street, their clean clothes contrasting sharply with the local atmosphere. Some people who recognized Zhang Shan shrank back and quickly left.

But there were always some stubborn people who didn't recognize him. When they saw Hill, this blonde beauty, their eyes widened, and some even drooled, looking like lecherous wolves.

Hill frowned, ignoring the stares around him.

But Zhang Shan was very unhappy. "You bunch of good-for-nothings look like you want to eat my woman."

His eyes widened, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted!
