I Promised to Win with Roger… But I Was Just a Kid

While Rhett was exercising day after day,

Rayleigh suddenly lifted Rhett to the stern "Try this."

There are ten specially made reefs floating on the sea, each with a number engraved on it.

"Use Kuroshio and smash them in order."

"And you can't break any stone after a number. For example, if you want to break 123, you can't break any stone after three."

You have to know that this is at the seaside, and the waves are constantly hitting Rhett's calves.

Rhett directly turns into a white special. The sea is the natural enemy of all devil fruits.

Rayleigh looked at Rhett and said, "This will not only train your control over your strength, but also improve your resistance to seawater. No powerful fruit ability user will lose their combat effectiveness once they come into contact with seawater. If seawater is really that powerful, do we still need seastone?"

So all you have to do is resist the water and smash the rocks with precision force

Rhett entered the sea and found that he had thought it was too easy.

Only his ankles touched the sea water, and the feeling of weakness made devil fruit quickly unable to bear it. The floating reefs were shaking in his field of vision, and Kuroshio felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in his hands. However, the most deadly thing was the seemingly gentle surge - every wave was disintegrating his strength.

Less than ten seconds after entering the sea, Rhett didn't even make a move to swing his sword. Kuroshio took Rhett and lay in the sea. That was even more doomed. The armed Haki was washed to pieces by the sea water.

*Gurgle gurgle gurgle*

If no one rescued him, Rhett would become the first person to be drowned in ankle-deep water at the beach.

Rayleigh fished Rhett out in one step. Before Rhett had finished spitting out the sea water, he heard his vice-captain say, "Thank you, 100 Bellies."

Rhett really didn't expect that his serious vice captain would ask for a hundred Bellies each time. Fortunately, it was a small amount of money, so he, Rhett, didn't care.

In this way, Lowry enters the sea, sinks to the bottom, and Rayleigh fishes it out. The sun sets.

"Here's 18,900 Belly for you." I will succeed tomorrow.

After a day of training, Rhett felt that he had gained resistance to the seawater. That's right, Rhett didn't return a single blow today.

The next day, familiar formula, familiar location, Rhett stared at the reefs floating on the sea, his eyes much firmer than yesterday.

"I must swing the sword today!" He clenched his fists and encouraged himself.

Rayleigh leaned on the reef and drank coffee leisurely "Just to remind you, the salvage fee has increased today, 200 Bellies per time."

Rhett :"???"

Gaban added "Inflation."

Roger laughed out loud "Kuhahaha! Come on, Rhett! I'm rooting for you!"

Rhett showed his shark teeth "Uncle Rayleigh is looking after my safety. You two have nothing to do. Are you here to laugh at me? Assholes."

Roger laughed non-stop "I don't know why, but watching you grow stronger little by little, I always feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, just like emmmmm"

Gaban added: "It's like watching my son grow up."

"Gaban, you bastard. I got on board earlier than you. I am your senior."

Gaban waved his hand nonchalantly, "I've never seen a senior pull better than a junior. Little Rhett, work hard. We're still waiting for your protection."

This really made Rhett's face red with anger. He secretly encouraged himself to open these people's eyes.

This time he was smart. After learning from his failure yesterday, he activated the Armament Color to cover his entire body before entering the water. This would effectively reduce the erosion of the seawater on his body, and at least would not make him weak directly.

Then he attached a layer of compressed mist. Although it would be dispersed by the sea water in an instant, it was not important. This would give him 0.5 seconds to adjust, which was enough for him to adapt to the transition from air to sea water.

The most important thing after that is to hold your breath to prevent the waves from hitting your face and choking you with seawater.

Rhett clearly felt that he was staying in the sea for a longer time.

OK, now swing your sword to smash the rocks and shock the group of old men outside.

Let you see how powerful Lord Rhett is.

(The cool night turns his thoughts into an ocean)

The resistance of Kuroshio swinging in the sea water is extremely large, plus Kuroshio's original weight, what a joke!

'I am the future king, the Scarlet Ghost in the Mist, Rhett! Ah——!!!'

He held Kuroshio with both hands and swung it forward with all his might.

"Crash!"

As soon as the blade touched the water, he was thrown forward by Kuroshio's weight and his face was slammed directly into the sea.

*Gurgle gurgle gurgle——*

Rayleigh: $_$

Rhett returned to his cabin and said, "I spent 20,000 Bellies today. It was a very fruitful day."

After repeated salvage and payment, Rhett finally found the trick.

He no longer fought the waves with brute force, but adjusted his posture along with the waves.

He concentrated Haki on his wrists and used his observation Haki to assist, increasing the instantaneous burst of power and reducing continuous consumption.

"Bang!"

This time, Kuroshio's sword tip finally shattered reef number one, and also shattered reefs number two, three, and four. The kinetic energy was so great that Rhett had no time to stop.

Rayleigh nodded slightly: "Not bad, keep it up and keep an eye on you."

Rhett slumped on the deck, soaking wet, but with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow... I will definitely chop it into pieces..."

Three months later,

Pants advanced transition sound effects,

"Kuroshio!"

Rhett struck with all his strength, and Kuroshio's sword finally split reef "1" accurately, and the aftermath stopped abruptly in front of reef "2".

Rayleigh "Pass."

Rhett excitedly lifted Kuroshio, only to sink it again.

*Gurgle gurgle gurgle——*

Rayleigh: "30,000 Bellies."

Rhett scratched his head and said, "Brother Rayleigh, can you please just keep the money for me? I'll pay you back the next time I have money."

That's right, Rhett's coffers were emptied.

Although Rhett made fewer and fewer mistakes in the days that followed, he couldn't stand old man Rayleigh adding a hundred Bellies a day. In the end, he was just watching him happily bid.

Rhett's little stash finally disappeared today.

Next up was Rhett's graduation exam. The three "living fathers" picked out a super-giant sea king for Rhett.

Just when Rhett found it, the sea king smashed a pirate ship with one blow of its tail. If it had happened three or four months ago, Rhett would have had no way to deal with this large sea king.

The reason was simple, he couldn't break its defense. As soon as it entered the sea, it would leave its own fog field and could not be killed by poison at all.
