"Yuki-sama, I think I understood how to use these techniques, as long as someone has a strong enough body to handle the pressure of using them, I believe it would take around 2 years for an untalented person to learn them but it could take far less if they have a proper teacher as well as talent" Kayle explained calmly to Yuki.

They were currently in a training room inside the knight pirates' ship, and surprisingly. Leon led them here while saying that it was his personal training room and it should have better targets to test their skills on it. However, the shameless kept them company and didn't leave afterward and simply stuck with them…

"Hmm, what do you think about their potential?" Yuki asked with slight intrigue since he also read everything in the Rokushiki Guide…

Kayle contemplated slightly before he said "First of all, it depends on the level of mastery of the user"

"What do you mean?" Yuki asked curiously and Leon was also intrigued since he got the general idea of these skills from their conversation…

"Let's take Tekkai for example, it's a technique that manipulates the muscles and makes them harden to significantly increase the defense of the user, however, it completely deprives the user of the ability to move which leaves them wide open for attacks … we can consider this level 1 of the technique" Kayle raised one finger and seeing Yuki and the unwelcome Leon nodding, he continued his explanation by rising another finger

"At level 2 of the mastery of this skill, The user can learn how to harden their body and keep their movement at the same, this is achieved when the user can minimize the time it takes them to use and release the technique in a split second, but that's easier said than done"

Yuki frowned slightly as he imagined someone attacking him and he would use the technique right when their attack is about to land on him and release it right after which would free his movement and allow him to counterattack…

"I think I understand" Leon spoke while nodding his head like a good student but both Kayle and Yuki couldn't help but shoot him a look and thought 'No one asked for your opinion…" before completely ignoring the parasite knight and Yuki curiously asked

"Can you imagine another level above this one?" Yuki asked seriously and this time, Kayle put on an even more contemplative look before he said "I think it's possible, although these are only speculations on my part since there was no mention of such a thing in the manual…

After continuous use of these techniques and if someone can handle the pressure of it and the toll it takes on their bodies, at level 3, I believe the muscles might become naturally harder but the body will adapt to it, So, they won't lose their elasticity in the process and the skill turns into a passive one that doesn't affect the user's movement at all while granting them a very strong defense in the process"

Kayle paused slightly while staring at Leon and Yuki's excited expressions before he said "To achieve such a thing however, I believe the user might need to learn how to activate and release the technique at a frightening frequency, 10 times in a second? 100? Maybe 1000 times in a second… I'm not sure, but it' definitely not going to be easy"

'This old man, I can feel his muscles twitching constantly even as we speak, he's definitely training while we are speaking… Freaking monster, it seems like he didn't earn the title of "Black Death" for nothing…' Yuki thought silently.

Meanwhile, Leon couldn't help but exclaim "To gain a body that's tougher than iron and maybe even steel depending on one's body with simple training, what an amazing technique… Sir, please teach me" He spoke before bowing slightly but Kayle simply ignored him creating an awkward atmosphere that Yuki made even worse when he casually said

"I wonder if Maou and Emilia found a place for us to stay, I can't wait to start training them" and Kayle responded with a warm smile "I will do my best to teach you, Yuki-sama"

"What about me?" Leon asked with a tearful look on his face but he was simply ignored as Kayle started expressing his opinion on the rest of the skills to Yuki…

…

Meanwhile, inside the Galley-la company, Kaku had just led Maou inside and he was currently waiting for the man called Iceburg to see him. Kaku introduced him as his friend, which is the only reason someone like Iceburg who's the mayor of Water 7 would agree to meet him.

Surprisingly, Maou heard from the conversations the workers were having that Iceburg was already on his way because they received a special order from a special customer to build him a ship and he used quite a lot of money… Some teams have already left to collect the materials needed…

'It seems like that asshole already achieved his purpose for coming to this island… Yuki you bastard, just how much money and treasures do you have in that special ring of yours…? Tsk, life truly isn't fair to give that bastard so much' Maou wondered with his face full of envy… Completely forgetting in the process that he was a heinous devil back in his world…

"You must be Kaku's friend" A calm voice suddenly sounded from Maou's side, and distracted from his thoughts, he stared at the handsome man that just talked to him and said "Ah, you must be Iceburg, I'm Maou.." Maou's eyes then flickered slightly as he stared at Iceburg's sexy secretary and thought 'Just like Kaku, this girl is also abnormally strong, although not as much as he is'

'So, this guy came from the knight pirates' ship huh? I heard that their kingdom is in huge turmoil, but he doesn't seem like a knight to me… what's going on?' Iceburg wondered silently before he said

"I heard you need a place for your people to stay, may I ask for how long do you plan to stay and why?"

'This guy is also careful, but I guess it's only natural considering he has all these weirdos around him' Thought the biggest weirdo of them all before he said with a wide smile

"We will be living here until our ship is built, so that will depend on you guys"

Hearing this, Iceburg froze slightly while his secretary Kalifa who was a member of CP9 instantly started memorizing every single thing being said to report it later.

'So this guy is with the warlord that Franky met… Now it makes sense, it seems like they only came here on the knight pirates' ship…' Iceburg thought calmly before he nodded at Maou and said " It should be ready in 5 days or at most 10 days, Kalifa, please find a place for our friend here to reside in"

"Yes mayor" Kalifa responded calmly like a responsible secretary before she asked Maou to follow her and questioned him about how many people there were and their needs...

Apparently, the Galley-la company was already used to offering such services since so often, pirates came here to leave their ships for repair or even order new ships when the old ones becomes irreparable, so how could smart people like them skip such a good opportunity to make money…

After making arrangements with Kalifa and finding a good residence that could feel the whole crew, Maou contacted Yuki with their link and he made sure to tell him how Emilia was burning their money but Yuki's only response was 'When did it become OUR money? But you are right, that bitc- woman needs to be taught a lesson…'

…

After having finished his talk with Maou, Yuki went to fetch Mashiro and he had a slight smile on his face when he saw that she was staying with Eden and the two of them appeared to get along after realizing that they were both fans of painting…

"Mashiro, Maou found a place for us to stay, let's go check it out, you can hang out with Eden later"

The two girls shot each other reluctant looks but Mashiro eventually nodded and left with him and Kayle, as for the others, he simply contacted them through telepathy which left only Emilia and Dariun uncontacted…

"What the hell are those two doing?" Yuki wondered with a frown and he couldn't wait to beat the crap out of the two of them when he finds them…

…

Meanwhile, Emilia and Dariun were happily exploring water 7 while completely forgetting about the task that Yuki gave them, but suddenly, they were stopped by a giant pirate that was at least 4 meters tall with two scary sickles strapped to his waist and he had 10 followers behind him that quickly moved and surrounded Emilia and Dariun…

Emilia's face instantly turned into a frown before she stepped in front of Dariun to protect him and put her hand on a sword that Yuki gave her while Dariun simply shot that crowd a look before completely ignoring them and went back to eating his food...

"What do you think you are doing?" Emilia asked coldly but someone suddenly spoke to the giant man "Oy captain Reaper, this girl doesn't seem to be afraid of us, the Reaper pirates"

"The Reaper pirates? Isn't it said that their captain has a bounty of 70 million Berrie… This is bad, these guys are notorious for their cruelty…" A civilian man said this and was about to run away with his wife and daughter but a Reaper pirate overheard him and directly shot him in the leg with his gun before saying

"I'm glad some people here know about our glorious fame"

"AAAA, FATHER" The little girl and wife screamed and hugged the father with tears and terror in their eyes while Emilia's face darkened even further and she started clenching her sword so hard to the point that she almost broke it before she said "What do you think you are doing to the innocent people?"

"Enough talking, get me the money you said this woman has, hopefully it will be enough to repair our ship so that we can continue our journey" The captain Reaper spoke coldly and the pirates directly aimed their guns at Dariun and Emilia with smirks on their faces…

'This is bad, I can't fight them without my powers, what should I do? At best I can take out the fodder but their captain appears too strong… why? Why's this happening? Was one of them following us all this time?' Countless thoughts were flashing rapidly through Emilia's head, but the muzzle of one of the guns suddenly lit up in front of her and she could tell… That bullet was heading for head!

'Is this the end?' She wondered with a helpless look on her face and the image of Yuki couldn't help but flash through her eyes as she thought she let him down after he brought her to this world.

But suddenly, a green light flashed in front of her before a small hand casually deflected the bullet and a ferocious aura suddenly covered the whole alley and Dariun's cold voice echoed "You people appear to be having a death wish… and I don't mind granting it"
