Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King Chapter 495 - 286: Guide Party2

Whoosh!

After a collision, Sage moved even faster than before, maneuvering to the back of the Poneglyph. As soon as his foot hit the ground, he imdiately released a surge of Haki, rapidly covering the expansive training ground.

"Five tis!"

Bam!!!

He shifted his body sideways, and his shoulder slamd backward against the Poneglyph, forcefully knocking it into the air. It flew for a short distance before crashing heavily back to the ground.

"Phew!"

After the hit, Sage’s mouth shaped like a drum as he exhaled arrow-like breaths, glancing at his slightly deford knee and severely deford shoulder. He frowned and grabbed his shoulder with one hand, snapping the bones back into place with a series of cracking sounds, while white smoke emitted from his body, healing the injured areas.

"Sage, you’re pretty badly hurt this ti. What did you do?"

Lily walked in as Sage’s training ca to an end, quietly watching him train, and only asked when he paused.

"Developing so abilities."

Sage shook his head, tossing away the sweat beads stuck to his white hair, and waved his hand.

Naturally, Lily took a bottle of wine from the cabinet near the wall at the door and handed it to him.

"No Haki protection, purely relying on the physical body, doing a comprehensive training under normal conditions."

Sage thumbed the cork off the bottle, downed half the bottle in one go, and shook his head, saying, "Need to speed up. It’s still not enough."

Haki, physique, ability, Life Return,

These four can be synchronized.

Though Haki training doesn’t grow as quickly as battling powerful enemies, regular training isn’t without effect. After fighting William, he could feel his Haki intensifying, mastering and consolidating more should push him further.

As for Life Return, it’s constantly maintained, nourishing the body through food.

And physique and ability are now simultaneously developed.

It’s not just about acceleration. Under Hundred Tis Speed, he needs Haki Hardening to protect his body, which is the extent of his single ability developnt, but with just his physique, he can’t withstand Hundred Tis Speed.

However, it’s better than before.

And now... he’s amplifying weight.

For the human body, weight ans strength.

"Developnt in terms of volu isn’t there yet, but it’s not bad now; I can amplify weight onto the body."

Sage said, "In the last battle, I used 100% of the 100%, with a maximum limit of Hundred Tis Speed and Ten Tis Weight. Now, I want to train under normal conditions without Haki and see where the limit is."

Hundred Tis Speed is very practical. After all, not everyone can keep their Observation focused for long periods; using Dual Haki challenges one’s stamina and Haki amount even more. But Sage doesn’t want prolonged fights with others.

Though strong ones are like blood cows, he’s far from being stagnant; there’ll be a day when he can explosively punch guys like William while being in a normal state.

"With the current physique quality, even three tis wouldn’t work; using thrice the weight and speed to amplify each other, if I unleash my full strength based on my basic qualities, bones and tissues would be destroyed first and couldn’t instantly recover."

Sage looked at his hand, saying, "If I use Dragon Transformation Breathing Technique, I should withstand three tis and speed up as well. Maintaining combat for a long ti under normal conditions without Haki only allows amplification by one ti, using Haki can withstand three tis."

"For now, the first goal is to maintain the normal state at triple tis."

Three tis aside, just a single amplification is actually quite formidable.

Enhancing the weight of Sage under ability amplification by one ti, and combining speed amplification with strength, the sheer attack power is already impressive.

This thing is akin to World King Fist, which has side effects but boosts combat power quickly. However, unlike World King Fist’s major side effects, Sage rely needs to consider whether his body can hold up because this ability use doesn’t greatly deplete his stamina.

Regarding volu...

It can be applied to objects, but he hasn’t developed it himself yet, though it’s not unimaginable.

"Hmph, when I t Byrnndi World, he could only use speed amplification on himself. This fruit couldn’t fully serve him; only I could fully develop it. Hohohohoho!" Sage laughed loudly.

He has always been confident.

Even if unlucky, he questioned luck, but never doubted himself.

A hint of a smile appeared on Lily’s mouth, "Sage, regarding yesterday’s matter, soone is here, wants to see you."

"Oh?"

Sage finished off the remaining half-bottle of wine, handed the empty bottle to Lily, saying, "Then let’s et. Where is the person?"

"Waiting at the Royal Palace entrance." Lily said.

Sage nodded, "I’ll take a shower and change clothes, let him wait."

Not long after, freshly showered and dressed in a casual shirt, Sage appeared in the great hall, seated on a stone throne, clicking his tongue, "Wasn’t a throne change discussed? Why is it still this broken stone?"

"There wasn’t enough ti, Hawkins is still designing your bedroom. I’ve already inford him to prioritize the great hall as the second task."

Lily, who followed behind, spoke, then stood below the throne like a serving female Knight, calling out towards outside the hall, "Co in!"

Soon, a person ran in from the open Royal Palace gates, kneeling as soon as he reached the middle, "Master of Calamities, my na is Andre, a rchant. I’ve always wanted to serve you. I’ve decided to join your ranks!"

Lily remarked lightly, "He’s the one who said about providing resources for free."

This rchant was interested in setting up industry before arriving, yet hadn’t explored the environnt. Upon hearing Sage’s request, he imdiately ca over.

"Yes, it’s !"

Andre looked up, excitedly saying, "Master Sage, I know a place that can et your requirents and isn’t far from your territory."

"eting my requirents? Do you even know what I want?" Sage chuckled.

"Hehe, no matter who it is at sea, everyone needs to eat. The place I’m talking about can first solve eating problems. My hotown, Wakanogres!"

Andre said, "It’s a volcanic island, due to its unique volcanic ash, all the soil on the island is fertile, yielding significant grain production, plus the special volcanic ash is an excellent fertility-enhancing material, better than Timadon’s black soil!"

Timadon’s black soil is also good, but the planting wasn’t sufficient as nobles controlled it, and commoners couldn’t privately exploit it. Sage conquered it, but there’s no ti for large-scale planting.

Now there’s a viable substitute, even better, which is naturally beneficial.

Who would mind having excess grain!

Sage showed interest, "Your hotown? Heh, a guide, eh? Well, how long will it take?"

"One day is enough, I have an Eternal Pose." Andre said.

"I’m quite pleased. Tell , what do you want?"

Sage grinned, "Money? Treasure? Or should I avenge you?"

"No, no, no, I have no enemies, just pure admiration for Master Sage. You’re too good to us, allowing soone like to set up industry, sothing unthinkable at sea. I’m doing this just to alleviate so of your troubles."

Andre said, "Regarding money, if you allow to trade here, only charging 40% business tax and personal inco tax, I’d already be satisfied. Of course, I heard you despise freebies. So... if you agree, after conquering my hotown, would you allow to establish a factory there to produce grain for you?"

40%!

Personal tax rate only charges 20% on monthly inco above three hundred thousand plus half on the excess.

This offer...

If realized, don’t ntion just divulging his hotown’s location; he’d even dig his mother out to make way for Sage to plant crops!
