Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: First Bounty

"Order Holman to investigate and find out who killed Jenos."

After calming down, Steel Bone Kong regained the dignity of an Admiral and said.

"Yes, Admiral Kong!"

The relevant Marines immediately relayed Steel Bone Kong's order.

"Damn the Rocks Pirates, one day I will capture all of you and bring you back to Impel Down!"

Looking at the intelligence beside him, most of which was about the Rocks Pirates, Steel Bone Kong's anger, which had just subsided, almost flared up again.

Sailing the Sea, at first it was very exciting, feeling that the Sea was very beautiful, a blue ocean with the sun shining brightly, lying on a sunshade, relaxed and comfortable.

But as time passed, it felt so dull and boring, creating a sense of Sea visual fatigue, which was the feeling of many Senior apprentice brothers.

However, Nox did not have this feeling. After the initial excitement, Nox began to think about the gains from his battle with Rear Admiral Jenos.

The biggest gain was the Awakening of Busoshoku Haki, and with the Awakening of Busoshoku, his physique also improved. Physique and Busoshoku Haki complement each other.

With Busoshoku Haki, his attack power and defense power both increased significantly.

"Now that Busoshoku Haki has Awakened, I can start cultivating the fourth layer of the Sword God Body Tempering Art!"

This was what Nox cared about most. In the Pirate World, Busoshoku can temper the physique, but the methods for tempering the physique are relatively crude, or rather, cannot be taught; it depends on an individual's control and talent with Haki.

Some people specifically use Haki to temper bones. The current Admiral Steel Bone is a typical example.

As for Garp, while using Haki to temper his body, he focused on tempering his pair of fists. With a single punch, nothing could withstand it, and he was thus also known as Iron Fist Garp.

Zephyr was similar to Garp. While tempering his body with Haki, he focused on tempering his wrists, eventually earning the title of Black Arm Admiral.

Nox's Sword God Body Tempering Art includes methods for tempering all parts of the body, and the tempering efficiency is much higher than that in the Pirate World.

This is because his Haki tempering is done by connecting many acupoints to form special routes for tempering. This is like body tempering techniques in martial arts novels, a method for all-around body tempering.

The fourth layer tempers the skin, the fifth layer tempers the muscles, the sixth layer tempers the tendons, the seventh layer tempers the bone marrow, the eighth layer tempers the internal organs, and the ninth layer tempers the blood.

As for the content after the ninth layer, he cannot see it yet.

Compared to the Haki tempering methods in the Pirate World, one uses a body tempering technique for tempering, while the other uses the most primitive method for tempering. It is conceivable how much higher Nox's physique tempering efficiency would be compared to others.

Even powerful body art masters like Garp and Steel Bone mainly temper a certain part of their body, secondarily tempering the whole body just to increase the strength of their physique.

This situation arises mainly because the efficiency of Haki tempering the body is very slow and requires accumulation of time.

Even body art monsters like Garp and Steel Bone can only give up on all-around tempering with Haki and instead mainly temper a certain part of their body.

Because they don't have that much time, or rather, their lifespan is only a hundred years, which is simply not enough to support their all-around body tempering.

However, Nox possesses the bloodline of a vampire, and his vitality and lifespan are greater than those of ordinary people.

Even if he is not a pure-blooded vampire, generally speaking, the lifespan of mixed-blooded vampires is typically around one hundred and twenty years.

As for the average lifespan of pure-blooded vampires, it reaches between one hundred and fifty to two hundred years.

With the talent of a vampire, coupled with the Sword God Body Tempering Art's Haki tempering efficiency, which is more effective than in the Pirate World, he is qualified and has the conditions to use Haki to temper various parts of his body.

"For the Haki tempering of the Sword God Body Tempering Art, the higher the quality and the greater the quantity of Haki, the faster and better the tempering efficiency."

"According to what Jenos said, my Haki quality is naturally higher and the quantity is greater than others. This is a physical talent, just like Bullet in the original story, who possesses a massive amount of Haki."

Nox couldn't help but think about his Haki talent, which actually brought such a special gain.

"If you want to make the quality of Haki higher, the fastest shortcut is to constantly use Busoshoku Haki to fight enemies."

"In battle after battle, let the released Haki be continuously shattered and worn away, and then leave a trace of pure Haki to return to the body."

"Repeat this cycle until all the Haki in the body is refined, then the overall Haki quality will become higher."

"You can also be like Garp, constantly consuming your Haki by punching mountains to achieve the effect of tempering Haki."

Subsequently, Nox thought of ways to improve the quality of Haki. It can be said that he can use both of these methods in the future.

"Senior Brother, these are the latest bounty posters on the Sea."

Lesley saw Nox looking out at the Sea alone, so she brought a stack of bounty posters and handed them to him.

They had been at Sea for two days now and hadn't encountered any Pirates. Their destination would also take three more days to reach.

"Oh? Bounty posters? And my bounty poster!"

When Nox saw the stack of bounty posters, the one placed at the very front was his bounty poster.

"Pirate Nox, for killing Rear Admiral Jenos of Marineford and hundreds of Marines under him, his crimes are heinous. Bounty: 110,000,000 Berries, dead or alive!"

"The Marine's efficiency is really fast. It seems Jenos left a Vivre Card within the Marine. After detecting the Vivre Card's disappearance, they came to investigate the situation. Is that why they were able to confirm my identity and issue a bounty so quickly?"

After seeing his bounty poster, Nox pretty much guessed what happened behind the Marine being able to issue a bounty for him so quickly.

"These are all bounty posters of the Rocks Pirates!"

The stack of bounty posters below Nox's bounty poster were all bounty posters of the Rocks Pirates members.

Currently, in the New World Sea, the Rocks Pirates are the strongest, and this era is also known as the Rocks Era.

Therefore, most of the great Pirates in the New World are almost all gathered in the Rocks Pirates.
