One Piece Talent System

Chapter 27 Geppō (Moonwalk)

Ross first glanced at the Battle Talent Department, then decided to switch the talent interface to the General Talent Department that has Physical Enhancement in it.

He quickly swept his eyes over, and something unexpected caught his eyes on top of the Battle Department’s Talents Tree, a branch that he didn’t know when but it changed from non-active gray to activatable green.

The name of the branch is… Observation Haki!

The activation conditions of the Observation Haki has been fulfilled, making Ross surprised, and he subconsciously looked towards the other two types of Haki as well.

However, the branch that indicates Armament Haki was still gray which means that Ross’s current body is still not up to the standard of practicing and utilizing the Armament Haki.

“It seems that Observation Haki can be activated but Armament Haki can’t. Is it because I activated Kami-e (Paper Drawing) and I already had some rudimentary knowledge about Observation Haki?”

Ross revealed a thinking expression.

Kami-e (Paper Drawing) in Marine’s Rokushiki also has high dodging rate but this ability is used to dodge fists and swords.

But if someone wants to use Kami-e (Paper Drawing) to dodge rains of bullets, it will not be possible for even Admiral Kizaru with his Pika Pika no mi(Light-Light Fruit). It is only possible for someone proficient in Observation Haki.

“If it is because of Kami-e (Paper Drawing) that I reached the standard for activating the Observation Haki, then does that mean that if I put some proficiency point in Tekkai (Iron Body) I will be able to reach the standard for activating Armament Haki”

Ross looked at Tekkai (Iron Body) in Marine’s Rokushiki, hesitating.

Ross has reached the standard for activating Tekkai (Iron Body) talent two months ago when he activated the Physical Enhancement of the General Talent Department and improved it, but he has not been willing to use his Free Talent Points to activate it because it is not really useful for him.

He now has only 1 Free Talent Point but he has three options.

First, activate Observation Haki.

Second, Tekkai (Iron Body) of Marine’s Rokushiki to meet the criteria for activating Armament Haki.

Third, Geppō (Moonwalk)!

“It’s better to raise some Physical Enhancements first and see if there are any changes afterward.”

Ross hesitated for a moment before he made his choice. He finally decided to upgrade his physical strength first. Anyway, the benefits of improving physical strength is much more at present and it will not be wasted.

Switching to the General Talent Interface, Ross put 50 proficiency points in Physical Enhancement and the Physical Enhancement’s Talent Proficiency increased from 100 to 150.

Buzz!!

Ross felt a heat flow within his body starting from his heart and pouring down to his lower body before spreading to his entire body. This whole process only took a few seconds.

Ross looked at his arm, perceiving some changes in his body before muttering to himself: “Without a large degree of promotion, the effect of 50 proficiency points is not very obvious…”

He looked at the Battle Department Interface. He found that it was still the same as before. There were no special changes. Armament Haki was still gray color which means that it is inactive and Geppō (Moonwalk) in Marine’s Rokushiki is also gray.

There are still 60 Talent Proficiency points left.

Ross thought in his heart that with 60 Talent Proficiency points, the abilities of the Distortion Fruit will be greatly increased and his body will be able to fully withstand the fruit improved power, so overall his abilities and power will be greatly improved.

On the other hand, the Physical Enhancement of the General Talent Department has reached 150 points in proficiency and with another 50 points he will be able to reach ‘High-Level Physical Enhancement’, and his physical strength will definitely skyrocket.

In that case, without any doubt, Armament Haki and Geppō (Moonwalk) will enter an activatable state.

Improving the Battle power or improving the survivability and flexibility.

“With my current strength, in the West Blue, unless I encounter Don Chinjao or any high-level characters from the Grand Line, it will be easy to suppress anyone else.”

“But even if I promote my strength a few time it will be very difficult for me to fight against Don Chinjao, a monster that has a 500 million bounty on his head, so…”

Ross analyzed and finally made a choice.

He put 10 Talent Proficiency points on the Distortion Fruit and another 50 proficiency points on the Physical Enhancement again.

Buzz!!

The progress bar of Physical Enhancement advanced from 150 to the position of the High-Level Physical Enhancement threshold line, while below the characters ‘High Level’, there was a golden light flashing, changing from gray to gold color.

At the same time, a massive amount of energy emerged from Ross’s heart and spread toward his whole body, soaking every muscle, every cell in this rich energy.

At this moment.

Ross could even feel that every cell in his body transmitted eagerness. They were eager to absorb this strange energy.

After what seems like a long time the strange power within Ross’s body began to subside but every cell in his body still desire this energy and they desperately swallowed the fading power.

Finally.

The Energy in his body completely subsided, the cells throughout Ross’ entire body violently swayed for a while before gradually calming down.

“High-Level Physical Enhancement…”

This time, the promotion is extremely obvious for Ross. Although it is less than doubled, his overall power has increased by at least 60% to 70%.

If converted, High-Level Physical Enhancement should improve the original body by five times and the Mid-Level Physical Enhancement should improve the original body by three times.

Coupled with the improvement brought about by his continuous practice over the past two months, he is now able to compete with Rear Admiral Bastille by only using his Physical strength.

After adapting to the changes in his body.

Ross took a breath and switched back to the Talent interface of the Battle department. This time, the talents of the Battle system has been completely renewed. Many talents that could not be activated before have all changed from gray to green.

Marine’s Rokushiki all turned into emerald green, Observation Haki and Armament Haki also became green and even the Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror’s Haki) became green meaning now all of them could be activated.

However, Ross turned his eyes and looked away. Compared to Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror’s Haki), he cared more about the immediate usability of the selected talent, he will choose these powers later in the future when he has more free Talent Points

“Armament Haki….”

Ross looked at the Armament Haki. It is impossible to say that he is not eager for this power for it is a type of power that will enhance his powers even further.

But he eventually chose to activate Geppō (Moonwalk).

Now that his strength is enough to run amuck in West Blue freely, Armament Haki is not something that is practical for him right now as even with this, he will not be able to deal with the monster, that is, Don Chinjao.

But if he learns Geppō (Moonwalk), he will be able to cope with most of the situations on sea, land, and air, He can even encircle a Marine Battleship without fear with Geppō (Moonwalk) and can directly sink the Battleship!

“I have not hunted pirates above 50 million Berries Bounties, then the next goal is almost certain…”

After the activation of Geppō (Moonwalk), Ross took a breath.

When he gets the new ship, he will destroy the West Blue double sword pirates and get a Free Talent Point, then he will activate Armament Haki after which he will put the Grand Line on his agenda!
