5 days passed by quickly, and Yuki and the others spent all of their time training either their bodies, Haki, or the Rokushiki techniques…
Of course, these techniques weren't that easy to grasp, After all, not everyone was a monster like Kayle. However, thanks to Yuki's various abilities that enhanced his learning speed, he managed to learn their basic forms!
"Soru!" Yuki muttered with a soft voice before he tapped the ground at an inconceivable speed multiple times and instantly disappeared and reappeared somewhere else to the shock of Leon who was watching him and trying to learn from him…
"Amazing, he learned such complicated techniques in a matter of 5 days…' Leon stared at Yuki with a bit of envy in his eyes before he shook his head and started training harder.
Meanwhile, Kayle approached Yuki who was covered in sweat while holding a towel in his hand and offered it to him to wipe himself before he said "congratulations Yuki-sama, you finally learned how to use the first level of each technique"
Yuki stared at the sarcastic look on Kayle's face with some anger and he barely held himself back from punching the arrogant old man in the face 'You damned old fossil, you lived for hundreds of years and mastered all kinds of techniques for assassination back in the Tensura world, what makes you think you can act arrogant in front of me?' Yuki thought while gritting his teeth but he didn't voice them out loud cause the facts were clear.
Kayle was talented enough to master the second level of all six techniques in a matter of days! And he needed him to teach him so that he can learn them quickly as well…
"Thanks for the towel" Yuki replied after ignoring Kayle's smirk and started wiping out the sweat covering his body. He spent all the morning training since he didn't have anything better to do so he truly deserved some well-needed rest now.
"Kayle, what's holding me back from reaching the second level of these techniques?" Yuki suddenly asked while shooting his system interface a look
[Shigan Level (2/10): Harden the finger of the user and grant them penetrating power like a bullet. Current Hardening increased by +40% and Damage increased by 20%. Consumes 9% of the user's stamina for each use]
[Soru Level (2/10): The user taps the ground rapidly in quick succession allowing them to significantly increase their speed beyond the normal limit of their body. The host can tap his leg three times in quick succession. The current Increase is 20%. Consumes 9% of the user's stamina for each use]
[Geppo Level (2/10): The user focuses all of their strength on their legs and manipulates the air at the same time to turn it into a hard surface they can jump on. The host can Jump 2 times. Consumes 9% of the user's stamina for each use]
[Tekkai Level (2/10): The user tightens their muscles beyond their normal limits allowing them to increase their defense but deprive them of the ability to move. The current increase is 20%. Consumes 9% of the user's stamina for each use]
[Rankyaku Level (2/10): The user unleashes wind blades by swinging their legs at a fast speed creating slashes similar to that of a swordsman. The strength of the slash depends on the strength of the user. The current maximum slash damage is 20% stronger than the host's normal kicks and it can only go a distance of 4 meters before dissipating. Consumes 9% of the user's stamina for each use]
[Kami-e Level (2/10): Grants the user increased flexibility to their bones, muscles skins, and even organs. The current flexibility increase is 20%. Consumes 9% of the user's stamina for each use]
Kayle stared at Yuki with a slight smile before he said "Yuki-sama, you will have to master the technique fully first before you can go to the next level… for example, you will have to learn how to tap the ground 10 times in an instant for Soru without consuming much stamina if you want to go to the next level of Soru which can further increase your speed"
Hearing this, Yuki was about to curse the old man that was stating the obvious but he was suddenly interrupted by an unfamiliar face entering their training area
"Are you Yuki?" The man asked and Yuki first scanned his appearance closely until a light bulb ignited in his head and he recalled who this man is…'This must be Paulie, the future vice president of Galley-la…
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Paulie had a cigar in his mouth, and he wore a denim jacket that had a flame detail, and it had many cigars strapped to it (in a similar fashion to Smoker), and a big "1" printed on its back, most likely referring to Dock 1 where he currently worked as a foreman.
His hair is blond and slicked back and he was wearing a pair of orange goggles on top. He is quite muscular, and his attire is completed by a yellow T-shirt, with white concentric circles in the middle of it, a belt around his waist with a little bag attached to it, and a pair of loose trousers tucked inside his boots
"Yes that's me, need something?" Yuki asked calmly while continuing to clean the sweat from his bare upper body casually and Paulie couldn't help but frown slightly as he stared at Yuki's perfect muscles 'This guy is strong…'
But he quickly shook his head and said "Ahum, I'm here to deliver the news to you that the ship you ordered is done, please come with me to Dock 1 to pick it up"
"Oh? Already? You guys are amazing" Yuki said honestly, he wasn't expecting them to finish it in just 5 days so this truly came as a surprise to him, but it put a proud smile on Paulie's face as he said "No one is better than us in terms of Shipbuilding so it's only natural"
'Okay, you don't have to stroke your ego in front of me' Yuki thought in annoyance before he turned to Kayle and said "Let's go check it out"
"Sure" Kayle smiled slightly, but a certain parasite immediately clung to them and said "Can I come as well?" It was of course Leon who was relieved that their ship was finally made and they can finally set sail to save their kingdom!
"Sure.." Yuki replied, before he called Mashiro since he needed her help with something before they set forth to Dock 1.
There, Yuki noticed the presence of many of the CP9 agents doing great jobs as shipwrights, and they all shot Yuki weird looks but didn't say anything, however, he noticed that they seemed nervous…
Yuki however didn't care at all as his eyes were fixed on the giant black ship in front of them with snow-white sails… It was majestic and had many Ten holes on each side as well as three on the back and the front for cannons to be installed into it. The bow of the ship was shaped into a creature that had emerald green eyes and flowing white hair and it had two pairs of wings, one that of a devil and the other that of an angel...
Meanwhile, this ship itself was made from something called Blizzard Wood that only grows in the coldest of islands and it was famous for its hardness which was second only to the Adam tree's wood.
What Yuki loved the most about it though was its black color, his favorite… As for the hardness, he already had plans on how to make his ship the best there's!
"Beautiful…" Mashiro suddenly muttered from beside him, and surprisingly, the one to answer was Iceburg who suddenly approached them while followed by his secretary Kalifa "I agree, this is definitely a beautiful ship, and its design is also quite unique…"
Seeing Yuki shooting him a weird look that said why the fuck are you talking to us as if we are friends… Iceburg paused slightly and said with an awkward smile "Ah, sorry for not introducing myself, this is the first time we meet but I'm sure you've already heard of me, I'm the mayor of this island Iceburg… Nice to meet you, Warlord Yuki"
Yuki shook Iceberg's hand before he said "The pleasure is mine, you guys did a great job to finish the ship this quickly…"
Iceburg accepted the compliment with a nod before asking "Do you have a name for this ship?"
Mashiro and Kayle and even Leon stared at Yuki curiously and waited for his response, meanwhile, the man in question stared at the ship with a slight smile before he said "The name of my ship is Black Pearl… It's going to leave a legend throughout the seas unlike any others…"
A weird wind passed by as Yuki said this and it gave everyone chills as they could see the clear confidence in Yuki's eyes. Meanwhile, Kayle nodded in satisfaction at the name while Mashiro muttered it to herself "Black pearl… I like it"
Iceburg nodded with a slight smile and responded "Nice name…"
Then Yuki nodded at the CP9 agents and said "Can you guys help me bring it to sea? I don't have any capable sailors in my crew to do it myself"
The scene grew dead silent, who would sail without a proper crew that knew about sailing, yet Yuki seemed dead serious, and despite Iceburg's concerns, he insisted on bringing it to the sea, so Kaku, Blueno, and Lucci went to help him under Iceburg's orders…
Once outside on the sea, Yuki inhaled the breeze with a smile on his face and muttered to himself "Finally, my journey can start, don't disappoint me, Black Pearl"
Anyone would think he was crazy for talking to the ship, but Iceburg who tagged along with them simply stared at him with a light flickering in his eyes without saying anything while Kaku calmly said "Everything seems to be working just fine"
"Indeed, you guys did a great job, thank you" Yuki replied with a slight smile, but Leon suddenly asked him something that caused him to freeze "Yuki-san, since you are a pirate as well, what do you plan to call your crew?"
"That's a good question… what should we be called?" Kayle said as well gaining them disgusted glances from the CP9 agents which they did their best to hide… Their hate for pirates was simply too strong...
"Name huh?" Yuki found himself lost in thought as countless things flashed through his head… They were right, every pirate crew has a name in this world, whether it is a silly name like the straw hat pirates or the red hair pirate or the whitebeard pirates… the common theme in all of these is that they were all related to the captain of the ship in some way or another…
So Yuki felt like he should also follow this theme, and after smoke almost started escaping his head without finding a suitable name, it was Mashiro who spoke and said "How about the Otherworldly Pirates?"
"Eh? x ?" was the reaction of everyone as they couldn't understand what kind of imagination this girl has to come up with such a name but Yuki smiled widely and said
"Otherworldly Pirates huh… I like it!"
