"Ryuo allows Busoshoku Haki to flow like a liquid and can also cause effects that strike from a distance."
"It has the effect of directly penetrating the enemy's skin and muscle defenses to strike their internal organs. It is a technique for internal destruction using Busoshoku Haki!"
After Nox returned to his garrison on Beehive Island, he began to browse the Ryuo Training method he had obtained from Kurozumi Higurashi.
In this World, there is not just one technique for internal Haki destruction, which is Ryuo.
Almost everyone with top-tier Busoshoku Haki will use this technique of internal Haki destruction, it's just that the form is different.
At the very least, Kong's Busoshoku Haki had this effect back then.
It was just that Nox blocked his Haki strike with his sword at the time, preventing Kong from hitting his body directly, so the power of internal destruction couldn't manifest.
Rocks definitely knew it too, but he didn't write it down in the Haki Training notes, clearly guarding against Nox and these Executive Officers.
"Ryuo not only has the technique of internal Haki destruction, but if learned, it can also make a person's Busoshoku Haki control more refined and skilled, allowing them to unleash greater power with less Haki."
Nox discovered that in the process of learning Ryuo, he was actually learning methods for using Haki, which made him more proficient in applying Haki.
So after obtaining the Training method for Ryuo, Nox became immersed in it and took ten days to finally learn Ryuo.
Compared to the speed at which Luffy was taught Ryuo by Kaido with a single blow in the original work, it was far inferior.
Now Nox genuinely suspects whether Luffy's protagonist halo activated during his fight against Kaido in the original work, or if Kaido's teaching skills were truly high.
The first blow taught Luffy how to use Ryuo, the second taught Luffy how to use Haoshoku coating, and the third even caused Luffy's Devil Fruit to directly Awaken into the Nika form.
When Nox saw this part, he immediately cursed.
Good heavens, truly good heavens!!!
Getting back to the topic:
"Ryuo can also be used on my sword to increase its penetration power. When it cuts an enemy, it also possesses the power of internal destruction and 'striking the ox across the mountain'!"
After Nox wrapped Ryuo around the Seven Star Sword, he swung a sword strike towards two stacked stones nearby.
CRACK!!!!
The topmost stone struck by the Seven Star Sword had no damage, but the stone below it was already cut in half.
"Nox, I have collected all the information you wanted!"
When Nox returned to the room, Shakky delivered a stack of materials.
During these ten days of Nox's Training, he wasn't doing nothing.
Instead, he had Shakky collect information on the islands, kingdoms, and major forces within the sea area near Wano Country.
Since he had already obtained information about Wano Country from Kurozumi Higurashi, Nox planned to occupy Wano Country and use it as his base of operations in the future.
Wano Country is rich in resources, possesses a vast Sea Stone mineral vein, is an ancient and powerful nation with deep foundations, and also has a long history of Samurai heritage and forging techniques.
It can be said that there are not many countries in the entire World that can compare with Wano Country.
With such high-quality resources right before him, how could Nox not be tempted?
So from now on, he will slowly plot for Wano Country.
First, he will occupy some of the sea areas near Wano Country. After the God Valley incident, he will then occupy all the sea areas near Wano Country, and finally, he will plot for Wano Country itself.
As for taking Wano Country, what about Kaido in the future?
Let him stew!
"The information can wait for now, let's do something meaningful first."
Originally, Nox wanted to look at the information, but then he saw that Shakky was wearing fishnet stockings.
She was wearing a short black dress that showed off her figure, her black hair was tied into twin pigtails at some point, her face was flushed, and a pure and cute aura wafted over him, along with a faint scent of bathing.
Her golden ratio figure was exceptionally alluring, showing no signs of being the Mama of two child.
With such a beautiful sight before him, Nox wouldn't be so insensitive as to look at information. Instead, he pulled Shakky into the battlefield to "fight" first.
Anyway, the information is right there and won't run away, but Shakky has legs, so if she ran away, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"Nox, it's still daytime."
Seeing Nox's impatient look, Shakky knew exactly what this guy was thinking, but out of a woman's reserve, she still wanted to struggle a little.
"It's alright, isn't it nighttime now?"
Saying that, Nox directly carried Shakky to the window, pulled the curtains shut, and then turned off the light, instantly plunging the entire room into darkness.
After a round of passionate activity, Nox contentedly covered the sleeping Shakky with a blanket, then got up and went to look at the stack of information from before.
The weather in the sea area around Wano Country is harsh, so there are no powerful forces nearby, but there are many scattered islands.
Many people live on the islands, but due to underdeveloped transportation, the people there are not wealthy.
It is precisely for this reason that many Pirates do not like to go to that sea area, and the influence of the Rocks Pirates has not spread there either.
In addition, there are some small countries there. Further away from that sea area, beyond the area with extremely harsh weather, there are also World Government member states.
However, that is not something Nox should be considering now.
"Kano, Karoo, Marley, gather everyone. It's time for us to set off and occupy our own territory!"
After obtaining the information, Nox immediately gathered all his subordinates the next day, preparing to leave Beehive Island and occupy his own territory.
"That's great, Boss, we're finally going to have our own territory!"
Marley said excitedly.
Since Rocks lifted the restrictions on the Executive Officers, almost every Executive Officer has gone to occupy their own territory.
As for Nox, there had been no movement for almost two months, which made his subordinate Pirates restless.
Currently, Nox has over two thousand subordinates and a total of four ships: Nox's original ship, plus one ship each led by Marley, Kano, and Karoo. This is Nox's current accumulation.
"Set sail!!!"
After everyone had gathered, Nox stood at the bow of the ship and shouted heroically.
"Set sail!!!"
Nox's subordinate Pirates shouted excitedly. They were finally starting to plunder with Nox!
Nox set off from Beehive Island in a grand manner, and many Pirates on Beehive Island knew about it, but they didn't have much of a reaction.
After all, this situation is normal on Beehive Island. After the banquet ended ten days ago, many Executive Officers had already left Beehive Island to continue plundering more treasures and territories.
"Are you also going to embark on your own path?"
Whitebeard stood in the distance, watching Nox's fleet depart, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
On the Rocks Pirates, he pretty much knew what was on the minds of the many Executive Officers.
Even though Nox's ambition wasn't as obvious as Golden Lion's, Whitebeard, who had spent a lot of time with Nox, could naturally sense the ambition hidden within Nox's heart.
That ambition was no weaker than Golden Lion's, but Nox was different from Golden Lion; he hid it deeper and was more cautious.
"Since everyone has left, I'll leave too and go look."
After Whitebeard saw that Nox had also left Beehive Island, he too was leaving to search outside and see if he could find his family!
Nox's four ships sailed smoothly all the way to their destination.
The weather here was indeed harsh, but that was relative to ordinary merchants.
For Nox and his group, this bit of harsh weather was nothing they paid attention to.
"Boss, according to your instructions, we bypassed those small islands and came directly to Venus Kingdom."
Karoo flew to Nox's side and said.
"Okay, pass down the order, prepare to land!"
"Also, without my order, do not actively kill the civilians. They are our assets!!"
Nox ordered.
This time, they came here to occupy this kingdom, not just to plunder and leave.
Therefore, their actions don't need to be too ruthless.
Venus Kingdom is the largest power in this sea area. Although the surrounding kingdoms are not part of Venus Kingdom's territory, they all hold Venus Kingdom in awe.
And Nox didn't have that much time to conquer islands one by one, so he came directly to Venus Kingdom.
Once Venus Kingdom is occupied, wouldn't the other small islands around be easily taken?
In the Royal Palace of Venus Kingdom:
"King, the Pirate who came to attack our Venus Kingdom this time is Nox, the Limitless Great Swordsman and an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates. General Ruffiel cannot stop him. King, you should take the royal family and leave quickly!"
Minister Afu Mayor said, looking at King Petri Rimer sitting on the throne.
"Is there really no other way?"
King Petri said unwillingly. He had just ascended the throne after a brutal struggle for royal power less than a year ago.
But he didn't expect to receive such terrible news.
He just didn't understand how a sea area with such harsh conditions and lack of wealth could attract the attention of the Rocks Pirates?
"King, there's nothing we can do. Every time the Rocks Pirates go to a kingdom, that kingdom is destroyed as a result."
"Let alone the Limitless Great Swordsman who personally destroyed several Totto Land nations."
Minister Afu said with emotion. He was old and had no regrets.
His only regret was not being able to see the young King before him lead Venus Kingdom to rise and escape this barren sea area.
"Minister, you should come with me too!"
After a brief struggle, King Petri, faced with the fear of death, still chose to escape this kingdom and return after the Pirates were gone.
