"I actually got a Zanpakutō, and it's Zabimaru from Abarai Renji. Looks like today's my lucky day."
The corners of Ikki's mouth rose as his mood became quite happy at this moment. He really liked Zabimaru's design. Once upon a time, Ikki was very interested in this weapon when he saw Abarai Renji using the retractable Zanpakutō. Now that he could finally use Zabimaru himself, he was naturally very happy.
"However, if I want to truly use Zabimaru, I'll still need a partner to maintain it. As for Shikai, the Donquixote Family has many officers with Devil Fruit powers. They can be used as nourishment for Zanpakutō Shikai. It's just the swordsmanship realm that's the issue..."
"It seems that Viola needs to be nurtured carefully. At least her level of swordsmanship must be raised to the Shikai level."
While Ikki was thinking, he turned his head to Viola.
"Ikki, when you look at Viola like this, are you thinking of something perverted in your mind?" Nami's voice suddenly sounded, waking Ikki up. "Speaking of which, Kyros actually mastered the seventh form of Thunder Breathing. Obviously he only mastered the First Form before."
"Nami, don't scare Viola." Ikki chuckled. "I just wanted to use this Skillful Grade blade I just obtained to modify it, and then give Viola a blade that suits her. Also, haven't you mastered all seven forms of Thunder Breathing now?"
He looked at Viola and said, "Speaking of which, Viola, you won't mind if I use Diamante's sword to modify it and give it to you for use, will you?"
Although Diamante wasn't killed by his sword but was shot by Viola with a pistol after he killed her sister, Ikki was still worried that Viola would mind.
"Ikki, you're worrying too much." Viola shook her head. "Rather, it's an honor for me to receive the weapon as a gift from you."
After seeing Balmung, it was difficult for her to refuse a weapon that was comparable to that Noble Phantasm.
Ikki nodded clearly. "In this case, we'll start special training now. Sadi-chan, don't you want to train? Come with me. And you Shyarly, come with me too."
At this time, Ikki had already planned to use the time training chamber obtained from the previous lottery. The time training chamber can help three people undergo special training, and Shyarly, Viola and Sadi-chan were just right.
"Yeah, I'll come now!" Sadi-chan grabbed Ikki's hand in one quick step. At this moment, she was extremely looking forward to what kind of training would follow.
Viola, on the other hand, frowned slightly.
"Ikki, we killed Diamante. If we don't take action now, if other Donquixote Family officers find out, they may escape."
Hearing this, Ikki put his hand on Viola's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. It won't take long."
With that said, Ikki half-pushed Viola and led Sadi-chan and Shyarly into the cabin. Once they were out of sight of Tashigi and Hina, Ikki took out the 'Time Training Chamber (3 years)' from his personal space and used the activation authority.
Along with a silver-white light that swept across Ikki and the others, several people disappeared instantly.
When several people regained their sight, they found that they had arrived in a beautiful forest. Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, warm sunshine was shining on the earth, and not far away, a river was flowing quickly. In front of a few people, there was a spacious courtyard for everyone to rest.
"Where is this place?" Sadi-chan looked to the left, then to the right, and was completely stunned for a moment.
However, Viola and Shyarly, who had already witnessed Ikki's weapon demonstration, didn't show much surprise. They just thought of this place as some fantasy land.
"This isn't an illusion." As if aware of what Viola and Shyarly were thinking, Ikki smiled at them and turned to look at Sadi-chan. "This place is an independent space created by me using my abilities. The three years of practicing here are just a blink of an eye outside. So, if there's an emergency and you need strength urgently, it would be best to practice here. Of course, because time really exists here, when you practice here, both you and I will grow older. In other words, when you leave here, you'll be three years more mature than you are now."
After the words fell, Shyarly, Sadi-chan, and Viola were all shocked. They never thought that Ikki would have such a method. Manipulating the long river of time to condense a practice field dedicated to practice. Although he would age for three years, he could grow up with the outside world in advance. Many people were willing to come to such a practice setting.
Ikki said nothing, waiting for everyone to digest the information he said. He also explained more about the role of the time training ground.
Of course, Ikki didn't tell Sadi-chan when it came to matters such as the use of nutritional medicines for exercise in the time training chamber. Instead, it was told to the ears of Viola and Shyarly alone.
"It's amazing! Ikki, you're so awesome!" Sadi-chan's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Three years, I don't know what I'll be like in three years. Ikki, let's start practicing now!"
After understanding the current situation, Sadi-chan couldn't wait to ask for spiritual practice.
"Okay." Ikki nodded slightly. "Sadi-chan, you've now mastered Love Breathing swordsmanship. Let's practice further next. When the time is right, I'll give you the seal of the Explorer fleet. When that time comes, you're going to have a challenge. If you can transcend the past, maybe you'll become a swordsman like Shiryu of the Rain."
Hearing this, Sadi-chan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled happily.
"A seal? Finally, I can get your approval, Ikki. That's great!"
