One Piece: Fist of the World

"By the way, we haven't officially met yet." Rhodes put his arm around Genos's shoulders. "This is our new partner, Genos!"

"..."

"No more?" Nia looked at Rhodes.

"Emm..." Rhodes looked at Genos. He didn't seem to understand much. "Why don't you do it yourself?"

Genos scratched his head, looking at the people in front of him. Although he had only known them for half a day, it felt like he had known them for many years. Is this what companionship feels like? It seems not bad.

"I'm Genos, a user of animal-animal fruit and human-human fruit. My model is zombie ability. My dream is to live a peaceful life."

"This is my partner, Cici."

"Woof woof~~" Genos picked up the little white dog, who was eating happily, and greeted everyone.

"A peaceful life is such a simple yet difficult dream," Rhodes sighed. "I'm Rhodes, the captain of this ship. I'm also the one who carries your dreams and takes you across the sea!"

"Neru, navigator and sniper." Neru gave Genos a friendly smile. Like the sea, this new partner was calm, solid, and reliable.

"I'm Law, the ship's doctor." After a hearty meal, Law finally recovered much of his strength. He extended his hand to Genos, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner. Although it might have been rude, he truly wanted to study Genos's body. He had already witnessed that terrifying recovery ability in the battle.

"Your eyes look like you want to put me on the operating table." Law's gaze gave Genos the creeps.

"I don't think there will be such an opportunity. After all, your recovery ability is too strong." Genos smiled, not responding. He had indeed never seen a doctor since he ate the Devil Fruit.

"I'm Nia, the user of the Animal-Animal Fruit, Black Cat Model." Nia looked at Genos with curiosity. "Your fruit is a Mythical Zoan! What a terrifying recovery ability!"

"I guess so..."

"We can spar sometime. I've never fought with a Mythical Zoan user before."

"Ah..." Genos's face stiffened slightly. He preferred sleeping to fighting.

"I'm Penguin!"

"Shachi!"

"I've been wanting to say this for a long time. You look so handsome when you put out the cigarette in your hand!"

"That's right! And your windbreaker, so cool! Where did you buy it? I want one too!"

"Damn it, I've been suggesting to Boss Rhodes that we should have uniform clothing; that way, it would be cooler!"

"Yes, imagine if everyone appeared on stage wearing the same long trench coat, how cool it would be!"

"Ha! My windbreaker is specially made. It's full of my secret weapons." Genos's eyes lit up slightly, and he picked up his windbreaker, showing it to Penguin, Shachi, and the others.

"And bears, bears too!" Bepo squeezed over, looking at the windbreaker Genos was showing. "I'm Bepo, your senior!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, Bepo-senpai." Genos agreed to this and reached out to rub Bepo's head. The furry touch seemed to be even more comfortable than Cici's.

"Woof~~" As if sensing something, Cici looked up and barked twice.

"Wow~~ That's a lot of weapons!" Gray leaned over, looking at the various weapons hanging inside Genos's windbreaker. "But I don't see any firearms. Don't you like to fight with hot weapons?" After Genos turned his attention to him, Gray began to introduce himself.

"I'm Thomas Gray, the ship's scientist."

"I see you are carrying some cold weapons." Hanging inside Genos's windbreaker were basically cold weapons such as daggers, knives, axes, etc. There was only one revolver, and it seemed to have more decorative significance. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"I just feel that compared to firearms, cold weapons are more practical," Genos began to explain. The only firearms he had access to were still at the flintlock stage. Not only did they lack strong firepower, but they were also inconvenient to reload. It would be better for him to use cold weapons and rush into battle. After all, with his special abilities, he wasn't afraid of getting hurt at all.

"I don't agree with that! Firearms are the king of war!" Gray's expression suddenly became serious.

"Really? Maybe hot weapons aren't suitable for me."

"How is that possible!" Gray grabbed Genos. "I'll stake my identity as a scientist on this and make sure I can create a weapon that satisfies you!" Since the Rhodes Pirates have no base yet and cannot realize their dream of building battleships, the only thing I can do as a scientist is to get weapons for my companions on the ship! We must create a weapon that will convince him!

The Six Powers Manual

"Then—" Reaching out to take the item Nia threw to him, Rhodes looked puzzled. It was a Den Den Mushi and a thin booklet.

"Neo gave this to me." Speaking of her brother, Nia tried her best to look indifferent, but the slightly upturned corners of her mouth still betrayed her true feelings. Unlike her father, with whom she had almost no affection, she still had a deep relationship with Neo. Whether before or now.

"This Den Den Mushi can be used to contact him. Normally, he won't use it, but if there's any special situation, he'll contact us through it." As the person who controls the intelligence of the Onest Family, Neo could naturally obtain much more information than the Rhodes Pirates wandering the sea.

"I just took a quick look at that booklet. It's about the Six Powers of the Navy."

"This is a very precious thing!" Holding the Six Powers Manual in his hand without opening it, Rhodes looked at Nia. Although it seemed that everyone on the sea knew a few of the Six Powers, the complete Six Powers were still very precious. After all, these were the combat skills summarized by the Navy over the years.

"What a thoughtful brother. He must be worried that you're not strong enough." Rhodes threw the Six Powers Manual back to Nia. "You should keep it yourself and practice. You must improve your strength as soon as possible. It must be unpleasant to be left behind by your own brother."

"Nonsense!" Nia took the manual, glanced at the familiar handwriting on it, and handed it back to Rhodes. "Whether it's you or Neru, you are more talented than I. Once you have learned it, teach it to me. It will be much faster than practicing it by myself." Nia looked at Rhodes seriously. "Besides, after you guys learn it, I'll feel more secure!"

"Then I'll study it first." Rhodes did not refuse anymore and took the Six Powers Training Manual handed over by Nia. With the six practice methods recorded in this manual as proof, I should be able to fully master Life Return very soon!

"Don't worry, I will take good care of this notebook and return it to you intact after reading it."

"For this kind of thing, it doesn't matter what..." Nia turned around unnaturally, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
