Chapter 8: Fighting Against Dorag
The cabin of the warship swayed with the ups and downs of the waves, and the oil lamp on the table swayed gently, dancing with bright or dark light.
Darren's tall figure sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, and three coins were constantly spinning and flying around his body.
If anyone observes carefully here, they will be surprised to find that the speed of the rotation and flight of the three coins and the distance between them are extremely consistent and extremely accurate.
It was as if three ultra-miniature satellites were orbiting the same planet.
It was very quiet in the cabin.
Only the sound of waves came from outside the ship.
However, as time passed by, a thin layer of cold sweat gradually broke out on Darren's forehead.
Weak blue arcs began to pulse and bloom on the surface of his skin... This was a sign of gradual overload in the control of the magnetic field.
At a certain moment, as if it lost its support, three coins fell at the same time.
Darren also slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
"It's really not that simple..."
He wiped the sweat from his brow.
Among the three major types of Devil Fruit, the development of the Superman type is the most special.
The development of animal-type Devil Fruit users mainly involves adapting to the survival and fighting methods of that animal's "type" and constantly tempering their bodies to achieve the state of an animal.
The natural system is integrated into the "natural" form as much as possible, and various attack methods are evolved on this basis.
But Superman is different.
Just the Superman type, the devil fruit type itself, has different categories.
For example, there are special super-types like Charlotte Katakuri's Nuo Nuo Fruit, and there are rule-based super-types that are almost buggy, like the Childlike Fruit.
And the magnetic fruit is a very special kind.
It does not significantly change the Devil Fruit user himself. Its ability is to affect metal objects in the outside world by applying a "magnetic field".
After years of exploration, Darren gradually summarized two methods that can help him improve the development of magnetic fruits.
The first is to increase the intensity of the magnetic field released by adapting to "carrying" metal objects with larger volumes and weights.
Another method is to improve the accuracy within the magnetic field within the control range.
Within a certain range, it is relatively easy to make the magnetic field force move in the same direction and make all metal objects move in the same direction.
For example, Darren used to control cannonballs, including "controlling" warships in this way.
However, in the same space and range, allowing multiple metal objects to move flexibly in different directions requires building complex magnetic lines within the range, which requires extremely high mental control.
However, although the second method is difficult and requires extremely high neural control, it has a good effect in the end, allowing Darren's stagnant Devil Fruit development to show signs of improvement again.
Thinking of this, Darren unfolded his "perception" talent and obtained various data about his body.
Physical fitness: 63.513
Strength: 61.395
Speed: 62.115
Fruit: 73.067
Putting aside the development of Devil Fruits, Darren's physique, strength and speed have all been significantly improved after his hearty battle with the great pirate Bundy Waldo.
"Sure enough, only high-level fighting can better help oneself break through the limits... No wonder Rayleigh taught Wang Lufei for two years, but Kaido-sensei taught him three sticks to master the entanglement of the overlord's haki."
Darren complained teasingly.
Of course this is just a joke.
Normal people don't have the aura of the protagonist and the incredible "sit-ups" ability like Wang Lufei.
For an ordinary person, let alone taking Mr. Kaido's three sticks, I am afraid that one stick would make him go to heaven on the spot.
This is also the reason why Darren "tirelessly" exercises his physical strength crazily, even resorting to "self-mutilation".
In game terms, the higher your physical strength, the thicker your stack of armor and health bars, and the higher your fault tolerance, so you can have a chance to make a comeback when facing a powerful enemy.
Of course, this cannot avoid the curse of "the thickest armor will receive the hardest beating".
Darren picked up the three coins, stood up from the ground, bowed his head slightly, walked through the low hatch, and walked out of the cabin.
The bright and dazzling sunlight fell, causing him to squint his eyes.
"Here you come? I'm waiting for you..."
Darren followed the sound and saw that Dorag had just finished a set of one-finger push-ups, stood up dripping with sweat, and smiled at him.
He wore a loose-fitting shirt with several buttons open, revealing his broad pecs.
The combination of the sunny smile and the rugged physique has an inexplicable sense of beauty.
"I heard they said you are a practicing lunatic. There is still a long journey before you reach the headquarters. How about we practice?"
The smile on Dorag's face was very sincere, without any trace of provocation. Instead, it was filled with enthusiasm and eagerness to try when facing an evenly matched opponent.
Darren glanced at Jiaji, who was not far away. The latter immediately hid behind the mast, looking panicked as if he had been caught red-handed.
He smiled irritably.
Seeing that he had "tortured" Jia Ji so badly in Beihai, he was "vindictive" and wanted to see himself beaten by Dorag to relieve his anger.
"Major General Dragon, I am not your opponent."
Darren spoke frankly and calmly.
According to the information collected by Flying Squirrel about the officer training camp, Dragon is an outstanding graduate of the second naval officer training camp, with the same graduation score as Sakaski.
The first candidate was Borsalino.
Apart from this identity, his father is still the "hero" Garp.
Well, think about the various "brutal" parenting methods that Luffy encountered when he was raised by Garp. It is estimated that Dragon also suffered similar torture.
In other words, the resources and inheritance obtained by Dragon exceeded Borsalino and Sakaski.
Darren did not arrogantly think that he was Dragon's opponent.
The most important point is that he has not mastered Haki.
After the battle with Bondi Waldo, Darren has clearly realized how far the distance is between mastering Haki and not mastering Haki.
"It doesn't matter, I won't use Haki and the power of the fruit..."
Drag stared at Darren with burning eyes, clenched his fists with great interest, and was full of fighting spirit.
"We can also take this opportunity to get to know each other."
"A real man should use his fists to communicate!"
I've been waiting for you to say this!
Darren laughed. Without Haki and the devil fruit, he was not afraid of anyone in close combat!
"Okay!"
He grabbed his collar with one hand and pulled it hard!
The military uniform and cloak were torn to the ground, revealing Darren's wild body covered with dense and hideous scars, and a rebellious and bloody smell suddenly emerged from his body.
Drag's pupils shrank when he saw this.
How many times has this guy experienced serious injuries to get to this point today!
"Then come on, Major General Drag!"
As soon as the voice fell, Darren's figure rushed out like a cheetah.
Facing an opponent whose strength far exceeded his own, he launched an attack without hesitation!
