"In Sea Calendar 1484, Rocks is about to attack God Valley, and there are still three years left. I need to hurry up and improve my strength to a level where I am not afraid of Marine Admirals within three years, otherwise, my life will not be guaranteed."
As soon as Nox thought of the God Valley battle, the sense of urgency in his heart increased significantly. After all, that was God Valley, and even Rocks died there. Who knows if he will be in any danger?
After Nox became an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates, he brought his Senior apprentice brothers to Beehive Island.
His Senior apprentice brothers behind him were a bit scared the first time they saw so many fierce Pirates.
But when they saw these Pirates making way for their Senior Brother after seeing him, and none dared to approach, they weren't so scared anymore.
They even heard something, these Pirates called their Senior Brother things like "Headhunting Swordsman".
On Beehive Island, every Executive Officer has a villa as their base of operations. This was specially prepared by the Pirate Crew for the Executive Officers and does not need to be purchased.
Beehive Island is not just full of Pirates; there are also many residents and merchants coming and going.
Under Rocks' suppression, no one dares to cause trouble here. Even those fierce Pirates must follow the rules set by Rocks.
Everyone who didn't follow the rules is dead; the rest are all people willing to abide by the rules.
Upon arriving at his residence, Nox found that someone was already waiting for him.
"Nox, congratulations on becoming an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates."
Shakky looked at the young man she hadn't seen for a month, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"And congratulations to you on becoming the woman of an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates."
Upon seeing Shakky, Nox didn't say a word, went straight up, picked her up, and walked towards the bedroom.
Towards Nox's domineering behavior, Shakky symbolically struggled for a bit, and seeing it was useless, she gave up struggling.
Today, Shakky deliberately wore a pair of glasses, originally thinking she would appear knowledgeable and well-behaved.
But she wore black ultra-short shorts and a black halter-neck top, revealing her fair long legs and tender skin completely.
This instantly excited Nox, and a great battle commenced!
After a fierce battle, the two lay there calmly, enjoying the lingering warmth of the post-battle.
"On the desk over there, I've prepared some Training notes for sword road, body art, and Haki for you, as well as the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia that every Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates has."
Shakky said, drawing circles on Nox's chest with her little finger.
"You truly are my thoughtful woman."
Hearing this, Nox couldn't help but praise. It's good to have a woman who thinks for him.
For Nox's strength to improve quickly now, one aspect is the improvement in physique and Haki, and another is the improvement in body art and swordsmanship.
The improvement in physique and Haki now requires more time accumulation, while the improvement in swordsmanship and body art requires broadening his horizons, learning from the strengths of others, integrating everything, and forging his own path.
Undoubtedly, his swordsmanship foundation is insufficient. After all, he only learned the Limitless Sword Style back then.
It was just the inherited swordsmanship of an ordinary Sword Master. The achievements he has today are entirely supported by his powerful sword road talent.
To go further on the path of the sword road, he needs to witness more different sword road paths.
Taking the essence and discarding the dross, turning them into the foundation and nourishment for his own sword road, supporting the continuous progress of his sword road.
On the Rocks Pirates, these Training notes are hidden benefits for the Executive Officers.
Although Rocks will not personally teach those Executive Officers how to cultivate, he is not stingy about making copies of these Training notes plundered from all over and giving them to his subordinates to study on their own.
Guidance from a famous teacher is very beneficial for someone becoming stronger, it can greatly shorten the time it takes for a person to become stronger.
It can help people avoid many detours, find the path most suitable for them in the shortest time, and then rapidly become stronger.
Didn't Zoro and Luffy in the original story make rapid progress in strength in just two years under the guidance of famous teachers?
Many Executive Officers on the Rocks Pirates came this way.
They had never received formal swordsmanship, body art, or Haki education like the Marine elite training camp in later generations.
They could be said to have come from unconventional backgrounds, and their ability to stand out among numerous Pirates and be discovered by Rocks was entirely due to their talent.
And after they entered Rocks' sight, they were invited to join the Rocks Pirates.
With the numerous Training notes in Rocks' hands and the protection of the Rocks Pirates, their talent and potential were fully developed, and their strength soared.
Given their talent, even without the guidance of a famous teacher, with numerous Training notes, they could teach themselves, be their own teachers, and then forge their own path to becoming stronger.
The other Executive Officers of the Rocks Pirates were like this before, and now Nox is also like this.
"Oh, right, also help me investigate the news about Sleepy Ancient Town and Asuka Island. I need to know their specific locations."
Nox said, gently kissing Shakky's hair.
In Sleepy Ancient Town, Nox remembered, there was a Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire form Devil Fruit.
It can grant eternal youth and a lifespan that is almost immortal. It is the only known whereabouts of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit he knows of.
On Asuka Island, there is a Seven Star Sword. In Nox's opinion, that sword can almost be compared to the Supreme Grade Swords.
As a Sword Master, the future World's Greatest Swordsman, he doesn't even have a good sword among the Fifty Skillful Grade Swords right now.
This makes him incredibly eager for a good sword, a powerful sword that can make his swordsmanship stronger and his sword more lethal.
The sword in his hand now, even when imbued with Busoshoku Haki, is almost unable to withstand his full power, so finding a good sword is very necessary.
"Okay, I will help you collect information about these two islands."
Shakky nodded. She is Nox's woman and controls the intelligence of the Rocks Pirates. Collecting information on the two islands is relatively simple.
The intelligence network of the Rocks Pirates is very large now, even though the Rocks Pirates have not invaded the Four Seas.
But they have established many intelligence strongholds in the Four Seas, not to mention in the New World. Most places in the entire New World have the shadow of the Rocks Pirates.
Nox, who joined the Rocks Pirates and became an Executive Officer, has no plans to leave Beehive Island for the time being.
He clearly knows that his strength is far from enough. At least among the many combat Executive Officers, he is the weakest and is easily targeted and attacked.
So Nox simply stayed low-key on Beehive Island, didn't bother with other trivial matters, and focused on training, studying Training notes, and becoming stronger on Beehive Island.
He is only sixteen years old now, the age when his body is developing rapidly and his strength is increasing significantly. Through training and Training, he can quickly become stronger.
