Snap!
Gawain closed the book and gently put it back in its original place.
He turned around and jumped out of the window into the snow.
The temperature was enough to make an ordinary person tremble or even cause frostbite, but it had no effect on Gawain, whose physique was comparable to that of a monster.
He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and began to try to combine Rumble Ball's theory with his ability to perfectly control his body's coordination to develop the form that best suits him.
After a few seconds, Gawain's body began to emit bursts of explosions, and hideous scales quickly grew on his body surface.
The long horns on his forehead extended backward like a majestic crown.
However, his body size also began to grow uncontrollably, eventually turning into a giant over eight meters tall.
"Wrong!"
Gawain frowned and looked down at the snow beside him.
The size of Guanze Masamune, which was just right in his hand, was as thin as a toothpick in his hand at this moment.
"In Human-Beast Form, I have more than enough power, but I can't use the speed of Pussyfoot Maneuver to its full potential!"
"Again!"
Gawain closed his eyes, his body returned to its original shape, and then he began another round of attempts.
"No, it's almost there!"
"Again!"
"My body shape is suitable this time, but I lost too much strength. I might as well just rely on the coordination to simulate the Life Return Paper Art Fighting Form!"
"Again!"
In the snow, with Gawain's repeated attempts, while retaining the strength advantage of his Human-Beast Form, his body size after transformation was shrinking step by step.
The Equilibrium feature allows him to push his physical abilities to the limit, and the Harmony feature allows him to perfectly control his body.
Once he understands the principle of the Rumble Ball, he will be able to progress at an unimaginable speed and turn it into real combat power.
Time passes.
Unknowingly, Gawain has mastered the ability to transform into seven forms, similar to Chopper's. He can even transform a part of his limbs into a Beast Form while keeping the other parts in human form.
For example, he can grow wings and a dragon tail, turn his arms into dragon claws, or even cover his body with a layer of scales to enhance their defense capabilities like soft armor.
Finally, as the night passed.
On the distant horizon, the sun gradually rose, and the red rays of light fell from the sky and hit Gawain.
At this moment, he is about 2.4 meters tall, but his body is not as bloated as in Human-Beast Form. His muscles are smooth and full of beauty.
Dragon scales covered his body like a layer of fine, soft armor, covering every inch of his skin, and there were hideous barbs on his limbs and back.
"Huh!"
Gawain let out a long breath, feeling the explosive power in his body, and finally, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes: "If I want to retain the power of the Human-Beast Form, this size is already the limit, but it is also enough to maximize the Pussyfoot Maneuver."
"In this state, I will have the powerful physical abilities of my Human-Beast Form, and I will also be able to show my swordsmanship and speed."
"This is the perfect form that best suits my swordsmanship and abilities, the balance point between the Beast Form and the human form, that's called…"
"Demon Form!"
After speaking, Gawain skillfully opened the system panel:

[Rating: Gold, a strong man who has the qualification of a King!]
Gawain glanced at the panel.
After more than a month on the Grand Line, all of his skills have grown significantly.
The swordsmanship has increased by more than 20,000 experience points and is about to reach level 14.
To go further, new Features will be unlocked.
His physique has skyrocketed with the addition of Lucci.
Originally, Gawain's daily physical gain was about 1,100 points on average, but with the addition of Lucci and Kalifa, this number jumped to nearly 1,500.
Although everyone's training basically stopped for a while after the White Knight Pirate entered the Drum Kingdom, after entering the Grand Line, his Physique experience also skyrocketed to nearly 40,000.
Pussyfoot Maneuver went one step further and reached level 8.
The experience of the Red Dragon fruit also increased dramatically due to the addition of Lucci, and it was directly upgraded by one level.
His overall combat power has skyrocketed, and it ranks among the top in the gold level.
If he faced Zephyr again, even without the Red Dragon's ability to not be afraid of Sea Prism Stone to launch a sneak attack, Gawain was confident that he could suppress him directly.
"Has the Demon Form really been recognized?!"
Knowing his current combat power, Gawain set his sights on the two columns of physique and Red Dragon fruit.
The Demon Form developed based on the Rumble Ball theory was recognized by the system as expected.
Moreover, its improvement in physique is consistent with that of the Human-Beast Form, and it has the speed advantage that the former does not have.
It can be said to be completely superior except for its size.
More importantly, after Gawain transforms into a demon form, it does not affect his swordsmanship at all.
It is a perfect combination of the two forms.
The improvement of overall combat power is immediate!
"If I have to classify it into levels, with so many abilities combined, my current combat power is roughly equivalent to an improvement from the lower gold level to the middle level; no, it's an improvement to the upper level."
"If I want speed, there's Pussyfoot Maneuver; if I want strength, there's Demon Form; if I want damage, there's Extreme Force and Armament Haki; if I want large-scale Aoe, there's dragon breath, and if I want long-range, there's flying slash, and if I choose the right battlefield, it's equivalent to unlimited health and mana…"
"Development in all aspects has begun to show results."
"Now, except for the Emperor of the sea and Admirals, who else can suppress me?"
Gawain thought about it for a while but couldn't find the answer, so he gave up and turned his attention to the task at hand.
"As expected, there is no news from Gin yet, and Musshuru and his gang haven't been found."
"But this also basically proves my judgment. Musshuru and his gang are most likely hiding on Drum Island. But what is their purpose?"
Gawain frowned slightly.
It's not that he doesn't like watching anime, but the recap at the beginning of each episode, which takes up most of the running time, is really annoying.
Gawain couldn't help but feel a little regretful for a moment. In his previous life, he didn't watch this theater version because it was a one-to-one reproduction of the plot of Drum Island.
I've only seen it in a few related posts, and he knows that a brand new villain has been added to this movie, the user of the Shroom-Shroom Fruit, Wapol's brother Musshuru.
For more details, he was a little confused for a while.
"When they carry out operations on the island, they will always leave some clues."
Gawain closed the panel, spread his wings behind him, leaped high into the sky, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
