As a premier martial art within Blox Fruits, Sharkman Karate emerges as an advanced evolution from Water Kung Fu. Its second iteration introduces enhanced techniques, positioning it as a dominant choice for combat scenarios. Acquiring mastery demands confronting the Sharkman Master through iterative challenges and investing in upgrades using collected shards. This guide outlines the pathway to obtaining and utilizing this combat method.
Pathway to Acquiring Sharkman Karate
Begin by journeying to the Submarine NPC at Tiki Outpost, which transports players to Submerged Island. Upon arrival, enter the aquatic settlement and locate the Secret Cavern using Flash Step near the perimeter. Inside resides the Sharkman Master, initiating your training regimen.
Training consists of successive slap duels. Emerge victorious to earn progressively higher-tier belts, starting with White and culminating with Black. Equip aquatic gear and maintain strike precision within green indicators for optimal damage. Failed attempts or premature exits reset progression, imposing a 30-minute cooldown for reattempts.
