"You're Marley, right? I remember you. Now, use your strongest moves to hit me and show me your strength."
Nox nodded.
"Yes, Boss!"
With Nox's permission, they surrounded him, drew their weapons, and attacked Nox.
"Bang bang bang!!!!"
The strength of these Pirates was much greater than Kano's, capable of causing more significant damage to Nox.
At least Marley could cut him with his sword, leaving a two-centimeter deep wound. This level of strength was quite good.
However, Marley was now doubting his life. His full-strength attack only left such a small wound on the boss?
He clearly saw that his boss used his pure physical body to take his full-strength attack head-on, not even using Haki or Iron Body from the Rokushiki.
"Didn't you eat? Attack me with all your strength!"
Nox suddenly shouted.
"Yes!!!"
Shouted at by Nox, those Pirates dared not hold back anymore and attacked with full force.
They continued attacking like this until an hour passed before stopping.
Those Pirates were all tired, but Nox felt no fatigue at all. Instead, he felt very comfortable because he could feel his physique had grown a little stronger.
"That's enough for today. You can go do whatever you want. If you want me to guide you in swordsmanship or other areas, come find me again when the sun sets this afternoon."
Nox said after cleaning off the dirt on his body.
"Yes, Boss!"
Marley and the others said excitedly after hearing they could receive guidance from Nox.
They came to pledge allegiance to Nox not just to gain his protection, but also to receive his guidance and improve their strength.
In this World, one's own strength is the most reliable guarantee.
Feeling the increased goodwill from these subordinates, Nox nodded in satisfaction.
This was the first batch of subordinates he had subdued. Giving them a little benefit was fine; this way, more people would sincerely pledge allegiance to him in the future.
After finishing his daily morning training, Nox put on his weighted iron armor, jumped into the Sea, directly immersed himself in the nearby seabed, held his long sword, and began practicing swordsmanship.
Yesterday, he received many sword road Training notes sent by Shakky. Nox finished reading them all in one night and memorized them completely.
But memorizing them was one thing; whether he could understand them and integrate them into his own sword road was another matter entirely.
After entering the Sea, he constantly recalled the Training method of Gale Sword Dao in his mind.
Gale Sword Dao was a sword road created by a powerful Sword Master. It was obtained by the Rocks Pirates, and then seen by Nox. Now, he was learning Gale Sword Dao.
"Swing the sword as fast as the wind!!"
After recalling the content of Gale Sword Dao, Nox began practicing the Gale Sword Art in the Sea with his sword.
The Gale Sword Art emphasizes speed – drawing the sword to the extreme, swinging the sword so fast that people can't react, and slashes that are invisible to the eye. The word "fast" runs through the entire sword road and is the essence of Gale Sword Dao.
And even in the deep Sea, there was immense water pressure and resistance.
Nox's speed was extremely fast. His sword-swinging speed was so fast it seemed unaffected by the Sea at all.
Even the slashes he casually unleashed were hundreds of meters long, traveling nearly five hundred meters before stopping.
To turn other sword roads into nourishment for his own sword road, he must first understand the essence of that sword road, then learn it, and then dissect it.
Then, what he had learned and what he saw during the dissection process would be slowly integrated into his own sword road, only then could his sword road become stronger.
Currently, Nox was in the process of learning other sword roads.
As Nox cultivated in the Sea, the calm Sea suddenly became turbulent.
From time to time, massive slashes would shoot out. If one carelessly approached that sea area, they might be buried in that sea area.
"The commotion from the boss's training is too exaggerated."
Marley said in shock, looking at the huge waves constantly rolling up in the Sea.
"This is nothing. When Senior Brother trained before, it was even more exaggerated. You'll see this scene often in the future."
Kano walked over and said. He knew these were the subordinates Nox had subdued, and from now on, they were all on the same boat, so he came to introduce himself.
"You are?"
Marley asked, looking at Kano.
"My name is Kano. Before, Senior Brother, who is your boss, and I came from the same swordsmanship dojo. Later, we went out to Sea together and joined the Rocks Pirates together."
"So it's Brother Kano. From now on, we are brothers on the same boat. My name is Marley."
As soon as he heard that Kano was his boss's Senior apprentice brother, Marley's attitude became much more respectful. After all, Kano and Nox had this relationship, so he couldn't help but be respectful.
"That's right, we are brothers from now on."
Not hitting a smiling face, Kano also gladly accepted the goodwill Marley showed.
"Gale Sword Dao still has something to offer. This way of using the sword can make the draw speed faster, which is very suitable for integrating into my Limitless Sword Style."
After practicing the Gale Sword Art for a morning, Nox quickly mastered it completely.
Given his current sword road realm, learning another Sword Master-level sword art was very easy.
Next, was to integrate the essence of Gale Sword Dao into his own sword road and elevate his sword road.
By the afternoon, Nox found a massive rock. This huge rock weighed about two thousand tons.
"Lift!"
Nox used both hands to forcefully lift the huge rock.
"Moonwalk!!"
The next moment, he pushed off forcefully with his feet, jumped up holding the huge rock, and then used Moonwalk to step on air and run in the sky.
This was a method he thought of to simultaneously train his stamina, endurance, arm strength, leg strength, and aerial running ability.
After Nox, holding the huge rock, ran towards the distance, Marley and the others could only see the huge rock flying in the air but couldn't see Nox's figure at all. One could imagine how big that rock was.
"The boss's training is too intense."
Marley hadn't left here from the beginning, watching Nox train the entire time.
Only at this moment did they realize how hard their boss trained, completely not treating himself like a human when training.
"However, since the boss trains so diligently and hard, we can't fall too far behind. From now on, we must also train hard and keep up with the boss's pace!"
Marley said.
