"Elizabello II? Who's that? Is he very strong?" Hearing the target Rosinante named, both Moria and Daolang were stunned. It was a completely unfamiliar name to them.
"Not particularly strong, but I'm quite interested in his King's Punch. It's said that after charging for an hour, it can punch straight through a fortress," Rosinante said with a smile.
When Rosinante decided to carry out the Shadow Hunt Plan, his first target was neither that swordsman nor some peerless powerhouse, but rather Elizabello II's King's Punch.
It was said that Elizabello II, relying on his naturally formidable physical body, could unleash a heavy punch that would instantly pierce an enemy nation's fortress in a single blow.
Because this technique consumed an extremely massive amount of physical energy, he had to warm up and charge for at least an hour beforehand in order to properly unleash the power of the punch.
In Rosinante's eyes, this was essentially a punch released after accumulating power.
And Rosinante's Crashing Fist Burst was also a power-charged attack. For someone like Elizabello II, whose overall strength was not particularly outstanding, to be able to unleash such a terrifying blow, there must be something unique about the way this power was accumulated.
In truth, Rosinante had long wanted to study the King's Punch for reference. However, first, the other party was the king of a nation.
Second, there was a strong possibility that the King's Punch had no formal cultivation method at all, but was simply something born from innate muscles and instinct. Because of that, Rosinante had never taken action.
But with the ability of the Shadow Shadow Fruit, that thought resurfaced once again. Even if it was an inborn talent, as long as he relied on the power of shadows, he could still learn something from it.
At present, Rosinante's swordsmanship was actually already sufficient. Even if he advanced to the realm of an advanced swordsman, it would not significantly increase his strength, unless he could reach the level of a great swordsman.
Yet even with the Shadow Shadow Fruit, reaching the realm of a great swordsman was absolutely not something that could be achieved in a short period of time.
If Rosinante wanted his combat power to rise again in the short term, he could only focus on fist techniques, physical techniques, and Devil Fruit abilities, especially Crashing Fist Burst and Tai Chi.
"Hehehe, so it's a punch that needs an hour before it can be used? What use could that possibly have?" Moria asked in surprise.
"I want to study his way of attacking. To be honest, I don't even know whether it'll be useful to me. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But if it is useful, I think it'll be extremely valuable," Rosinante said rather helplessly.
"Hehehe, in that case, let's just capture him. No matter how strong his attack is, if it needs an hour to charge, what use can it really be?" Moria said.
"Easy to seize," Daolang said calmly.
"However, he is a king, so be careful when you act. Do it quietly, no unnecessary commotion. Also, ask him whether he's willing to join our Gray Nation. We don't have a single vassal state in the New World yet," Rosinante said.
"Hehehe, just a king, right? I guarantee the mission will be completed. I'll make him disappear from the Prodence Kingdom without a sound," Moria said with a grin.
"Go. I'll be waiting for your good news," Rosinante said expectantly.
"Your Majesty, is this ability really useful?" After Moria and Daolang left, a flash of lightning appeared as Enel materialized in front of Rosinante.
"If you say it's useful, then it is. If you say it's useless, then it also is," Rosinante replied.
"?" Enel was confused.
"These experiences can indeed help you quickly improve yourself to a certain extent. But if you rely entirely on the abilities you obtain from shadows, then you can forget about becoming a true top-tier powerhouse. What you gain will always be someone else's things. That way, you can never stand at the very peak. But if you can absorb them and make them your own, then they will become the greatest aid to enhancing your strength," Rosinante said.
"Hoh hoh hoh, so that's how it is. I understand now. That means you can't just copy others, you need to turn it into something of your own," Enel said.
"That's right. And the prerequisite for all of this is that you must first have a solid foundation," Rosinante said.
"So that's how it is. I understand," Enel said.
"Did you come because something happened?" Rosinante asked.
"Your Majesty, the Sabaody Archipelago has been a bit unsettled recently. It seems some people are planning something," Enel said.
Hearing Enel's words, Rosinante frowned and suddenly turned his gaze toward him.
