Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

However, no matter what, after such a long time, a lot of experience has been accumulated, and the development of Devil Fruit abilities has long since entered the intermediate level, which is incomparable to Nochi, who has just entered the beginner level.

With a solid foundation, things become much easier.

Over the past six months, Luo Feng has also given Robin a lot of pointers, mainly regarding her Devil Fruit abilities.

The characteristics of the Flower-Flower Fruit are not directly reflected in combat power. Just like Law's Op-Op Fruit and Bartolomeo's Barrier-Barrier Fruit, they all have one thing in common...

That's a bug, an absolute bug!

It's just that the way it's manifested is different. If used well, it's absolutely unbeatable and will make the opponent feel hopeless.

However, over the years, Robin's development has been too singular and limited. You can tell from the names of her moves that most of them are things like Two-Handed Flower, Four-Handed Flower, Twelve-Handed Flower, Twenty-Four-Handed Flower, and so on...

As you can tell from their names, although each one is stronger than the last, they all basically grow their own arms on their opponents' bodies or other parts of their bodies, and fight like flowers blooming.

It's outrageous, it's like a Russian nesting doll!

So this time, Luo Feng gave her a lot of suggestions on development directions.

For example, many of the fighting techniques of the Forest Thousand Hands can be directly copied and developed by Robin!

Her Devil Fruit ability and the techniques of the Thousand Hands of the Forest share many similarities, so we can definitely consider it in this direction...

Robin's abilities can be well replicated, similar to many of Hashirama Senju's techniques, such as Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique and Wood Release: Wood Clone.

The former can use Robin's many hands to manipulate objects and achieve a group attack effect, while the latter, Robin in Wano Country, has actually realized some of the ultimate techniques.

Besides her hands and feet, she can also use her abilities to create clones to confuse enemies. Similarly, she can control the size of her clones to give them powerful attack capabilities!

These little tricks are easy for Robin to develop now, given her extensive training and significantly improved physical strength.

Besides these minor techniques, Robin also has the potential to develop techniques similar to Hashirama Senju's Sage Art, such as Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands!

There's more than one ultimate move of this caliber. If she really develops and trains it well, it will be a huge boost to her combat power, and might even allow her to directly reach the level of a combatant!

Over the past six months, with Luo Feng's guidance, Robin has developed quite a few tricks. This is not difficult for her; it's just that her previous worldview was too limited, and she couldn't think of these strange and unusual methods.

She has also made some progress in understanding these powerful moves. Although she cannot use them completely yet, she has undoubtedly mastered them. It seems that it won't be long before she can replicate these abnormal techniques and use them directly!

Robin's remarkable progress is all based on her having the strongest foundation among the four women.

As the eldest sister, her age and early experiences give her ample experience, and her temperament and comprehension are incomparable to those three little girls.

　(Zhao) Moreover, Robin was the first woman to become Luo Feng's woman!

Luo Feng's peculiar ability allows him to replenish his woman's mana, and Robin has undoubtedly been subjected to the most 'beastly' acts by Luo Feng over the past year, so her physical strength is naturally very strong!

It was precisely because of these reasons that Robin successfully awakened Armament Haki during the middle stage of her six-month special training, becoming the first female crew member to awaken this ability.

Faster than those high-ranking officials in the Baroque era!

This is also why Nochigao is still the weakest. Luo Feng hasn't broken through that barrier yet, so she naturally doesn't have that advantage, and therefore she is much weaker physically.

Some highly talented senior cadres, such as Dazbonitz and Xiao Feng, are much stronger than her!

But Robin is the complete opposite; her current strength is enough to negotiate with a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters!

Keep in mind, that wasn't a vice admiral, but a vice admiral from the headquarters!

Chapter 123 Zoro's exaggerated progress!

These are players from completely different skill levels.

When it comes to naval vice admirals, their combat capabilities can vary greatly, with some being ridiculously weak and others being astonishingly strong.

However, if we break it down further, those qualified to become Vice Admirals in the entire Navy only account for a small percentage, perhaps less than 10%.

Those people are the true backbone of the navy, and none of them are weak. After all, there are only a few admirals with the highest combat power, and most of those who actually go to sea to do practical things are these people.

Two years ago, the entire Luffy crew struggled to defeat even a Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters!

Robin now possesses this level of strength, even without fully developing the 'ultimate moves' that Luo Feng had hinted at to her.

If all of these methods are developed and she possesses such powerful abilities, her strength will undoubtedly reach a new level!

This is the current strength of the four women; overall, their progress has been astonishing.

Compared to them, the combat specialists have obviously made greater progress. Just look at Crocodile to imagine that the other three combat specialists are no less talented than him!

Especially Zoro!

Even including the time he spent on the ship in Loguetown, Zoro has only been training for a little over eight months.

However, his training progress is terrifyingly fast. He has now reached the level of a pirate who trained with Hawkeye for two years!

That's terrifying. You have to understand that back in Loguetown, his strength was at most on par with the level Luffy had just encountered.

In just over eight months, it's like skipping the time spent accompanying Luffy on his adventures until the Sabaody Archipelago was blown away, and the two years of special training on Mihawk's island!

This leap is terrifyingly large...

But this is only on the surface. In terms of actual fighting strength, Zoro should be even stronger than he was two years later!

His current equipment consists of three Great Grade Swords, with Sakuragi and Kuju being among the best of the Great Grade Swords!

His weapons are far superior to what he had back then, and now that he has the swordsmanship insights of Shiki, Zoro's progress in swordsmanship is definitely no less than that of someone personally trained by Mihawk!

Moreover, during these six months, he also awakened two types of Haki. Not to mention his Observation Haki, his Armament Haki directly reached the late stage of the intermediate level, and he was definitely not far from the advanced Armament Haki.

He specializes in physical training, so his body strength is incredibly robust. How could his Armament Haki be weak?

Based on this, Zoro's true combat strength has now reached the level of an elite vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters!

Even among lieutenant generals, elite lieutenant generals are even more different, belonging to an even smaller fraction of that small group.

Second only to the candidates for Admiral, they are the true ceiling of naval combat power after the Admiral. Their numbers are pitifully small, with only sixteen known elite Vice Admirals.

But they are all very strong, after all, they were students of the same age as the three generals and were taught by the same teacher.

The current three admirals are simply the best of the best selected from among them.

It's easy to imagine that anyone who can be called an elite vice admiral is almost certainly strong. Zoro has already reached this level in such a short time!

Bartolomeo, from the same period, was about the same in terms of overall strength, not much worse than Zoro.

Although her physical abilities are nowhere near Zoro's, far surpassing his, she is roughly at the level of a vice admiral in the headquarters, stronger than Robin, but not by much.

But his abilities are too abnormal. In terms of defense alone, Bartolomeo can be said to be almost invincible at this point!

It's too much to say they're invincible; that's too much to say. They might not be able to break through with some special and powerful attack. But if someone truly possesses that level of skill, wouldn't they be at the pinnacle of this ocean?

That's Luo Feng's opponent; Bartolomeo doesn't need to be compared to him yet.

Therefore, it's fair to say that his defense is practically invincible.

The same goes for Law. In terms of overall strength, he is almost the same as Zoro. Although he is talented, he is still a bit inferior to Zoro.

So it's only a matter of time before they catch up.

However, in terms of training time, Law has a significant advantage. With his overpowered Devil Fruit ability, his functionality is definitely stronger than Zoro's, whose attack methods are more limited.

In battle, Law undoubtedly has more potential than Zoro, so in terms of combat strength, Law is still a level above Zoro, at least for now, and is the undisputed third-in-command on the ship!

"Hehehe... These kids are really something else. No wonder you went all the way to the East China Sea to recruit them, Captain."

After learning about the training results of Zoro and the other two, Crocodile wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and repeated the same sentiment he had expressed on the ship half a year ago on the way to the Boin Islands!

At the time, I just thought these kids were working incredibly hard and had pretty good talent, but now that I see their real progress, I am deeply impressed!

In just six months, they've all reached this level—it's terrifying!

"You little devils are putting a lot of pressure on me, hahaha... Looks like I can't let my guard down anymore. It would be so embarrassing to be caught up with so easily!"

Listening to Crocodile's continuous exclamations, Zoro and the others smiled even more broadly. They now possessed immense confidence, and the terrifying speed at which their strength had increased astonished even themselves.

Zoro and Bartolomeo, in particular, now look back on what happened in Loguetown and are both grateful to have met Luo Feng and boarded this ship.

Otherwise, they would never have experienced this kind of progress in their lifetime!

"I have to thank the captain for all of this! Hey, I'm very confident that in the near future, I will challenge that man and take the throne of the world's greatest swordsman!"

Zoro, with a wooden stick dangling from his mouth, rhythmically tapped his fingers on the hilt of his sword, his eyes sincere as he thanked Luo Feng.

"Hmph, that stinky green algae head is getting arrogant again. Even if you win the title of the number one swordsman, you still can't break through my defenses."

Bartolomeo seems to have developed an instinct to criticize Zoro; whenever he sees Zoro looking smug, he can't help but want to strike back.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bartolomeo once again performed a lightning-fast change of expression, instantly becoming obsequious...

His face was flushed, his posture exaggerated, and his voice incredibly loud as he shouted at Luo Feng, "Of course, we definitely have to thank Senior Luo Feng! Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

Chapter 124 Their mutual flattery is really something else!

"Huh?! What did you say? Your exaggerated rooster-like hairstyle is just a broken tortoise shell on your head! Come out here if you dare, I'll chop you up!"

It's clear that Zoro has adapted to the rhythm of this ship, and his aloof demeanor is long gone.

He was able to maintain some composure when facing Bartolomeo, after all, one cannot easily lose their composure.

However, as this jerk went further and further, relentlessly attacking him, he simply let himself go...

However, Zoro had to admit that even with his current attack power and the addition of his newly upgraded powerful weapons, he still couldn't break through Bartolomeo's barrier.

This frustrated Zoro greatly, which is why he started using the nickname "Turtle Shell"! #

The two are currently in a state where neither can gain the upper hand; one has powerful attacks, while the other has near-invincible defense...

Of course, the same goes for Bartolomeo; he can only defend passively. If he were to step out of the barrier, even with his physical strength, he still wouldn't be able to withstand Zoro's powerful Armament Haki!

He'll probably fall to Zoro's blade in just a few moves.

Therefore, as long as the barrier in front of Bartolomeo remains, the two will always be evenly matched.

"Crocodile, saying things like that isn't like you at all."

Luo had clearly gotten used to the bickering of this pair of bickering lovers, automatically ignoring their argument and turning his attention to his 'patient'.

"Your strength is truly unfathomable. It's hard to imagine that your broken body, at your current age, has been able to experience a second spring and progress so terrifyingly."

"Hey! Even I, the attending physician, am quite surprised..."

"You brat, you keep bringing up my age, and what you say is really unpleasant to hear!"

Crocodile, cigar dangling from his lips, chuckled and cursed, but didn't take it to heart; they were all just friends, it was just everyday banter.

Moreover, if it weren't for this kid, he might still be in that half-crippled state.

Watching the crew members play around, Luo Feng smiled without saying a word. His partners and subordinates had made remarkable progress, meeting his expectations, and some had even done better.
