In a certain sea in the East Blue, the Going Merry was sailing.
Yosaku and Johnny had already said goodbye to Luen and the others.
On the top deck of the Going Merry, a training room had been set up according to the requirements of Luen and the others.
"Bang! Bang!"
With two crisp sounds, Luffy and Zoro slammed into the wall.
"Ouch!"
Luffy clutched his bruised and swollen face, crying out in pain.
"I'm rubber, how can it hurt so much? Was Grandpa using Haki to hit me too?"
Luffy rubbed his injuries, grimacing.
Luffy was all too familiar with this feeling. It was the same feeling he got when his Grandpa Garp used his so-called 'Fist of Love' to hit him as a child.
Even with his rubber body, it hurt terribly.
Now that he knew the power Luen was using was Haki, Luffy finally understood what power Garp had used to beat him.
"Huff! Huff! So strong."
Zoro crawled up from the ground, panting heavily.
A look of shock remained in his eyes.
Although both of his swords had been cut by Hawkeye, leaving only Wado Ichimonji, he wasn't too skilled with the Two-Sword Style compared to the Three Sword Style.
And he was injured, so he couldn't fully exert his strength.
But the power of Haki was still too immense.
Even with him and Luffy teaming up, they were completely powerless against Luen.
Looking at the jet-black color on Luen's fists, Zoro's eyes held a solemn expression.
This was the power that strong individuals in the great sea absolutely had to master: Armament Haki!
His sword couldn't cut through it at all, and its attack power was also unparalleled.
This was just Armament Haki wrapped around his fists. If this power were wrapped around his swords!
Zoro's lips curled into a self-mocking, bitter smile.
Then he would definitely become countless times stronger!
But then, Luen's words shattered Zoro's current fantasy.
"Do you two have no feeling for Haki at all?"
Luen looked helplessly at Zoro and Luffy.
"Luen, don't look at me like that, I'm starting to feel as stupid as Luffy." Zoro's face twitched as he met Luen's gaze.
That was the look one gives a fool!
He knew why, because Zoro often looked at Luffy that way.
"What do you mean, Zoro, I just haven't gotten serious yet!"
Stimulated by Zoro's words, Luffy immediately jumped up, roaring in defiance, and then pounced on Luen.
"Watch my full power! Gum-Gum!"
"Bang!"
Zoro's lips twitched as he watched Luffy cry out, punched into the wall by Luen, unable to pry himself out for a long time.
What an idiot!
But why did he, like this idiot, not feel anything about the Haki Luen mentioned?
Especially seeing Luen's somewhat helpless gaze, Zoro's lips twitched even more violently.
Was he that stupid?
"Take it slow, no need to rush too much."
Luen sighed as he looked at Zoro and Luffy.
He had originally wanted to teach these two guys to learn Haki before reaching Loguetown, so they could stand their ground against Smoker.
But now it seemed that teaching Luffy and Zoro Haki, who had only just set sail, was too difficult.
Of course, what Luen called "teaching" was even worse than the teaching of Silvers Rayleigh, who was often joked about for misleading his students.
Luen had no idea how to teach Haki.
Even if others learned Armament Haki, and their temperament and physique met the requirements, they still needed to train Haki to make it stronger.
But Luen, who possessed the Haki Cultivation Cheat System: Born for the Sea (Super Gold) Entry,
Only needed to improve his physique, and his Armament Haki would naturally become stronger.
With Born for the Sea (Super Gold) Entry, Luen was undoubtedly the most formidable genius in Haki on this great sea.
And for a super genius, how does one learn to use Haki?
Doesn't it just come to mind, and you can use Haki with a flick of your wrist? Does it still need to be learned?
So Luen's training method for Zoro and Luffy directly adopted the most straightforward approach:
Get beaten!
To directly feel the power of Haki with their bodies, and then learn Haki.
Of course, Luen held back for the injured Zoro.
Luen originally wanted Zoro to recover from his injuries before training, but seeing Zoro's determination to train even if it killed him, Luen didn't say much more.
Anyway, Zoro had the Beast Physique Entry, so nothing would happen as long as he paid attention.
However, this training progress was not very ideal.
Luffy and Zoro had, after all, only recently set sail, and their strength and temperament were far from the level required to learn Haki in the original story.
Even at the point in the original story when they learned Haki, Luffy and Zoro had to train hard for a long time before they mastered it.
Luen knew it was unlikely to make Luffy and Zoro learn Haki in a short time, so he could only take it slowly.
These two were his best Wage Earners for the future; they had to get stronger quickly so they could be covered by those super powerful Entries.
Luen sighed.
Seeing Luen sigh, Zoro's face twitched even more violently.
"Amazing! Luen is really too strong."
Usopp exclaimed in surprise, observing Luffy and Zoro being utterly powerless before Luen.
Nami nodded, her eyes fixed on Luen, unable to look away.
"Clatter!"
"Here, time to eat, you idiots."
The door to the training room opened, and Sanji walked in with a pile of prepared food, shouting at Luffy and Zoro.
"Luen, this one's for you."
Sanji's attitude towards Luen was much better,
Handing the largest portion to Luen. "Who are you calling an idiot! You Swirly Eyebrow idiot!"
Zoro was extremely sensitive to the word "idiot" at this moment. Hearing Sanji's words, veins popped on his forehead as he cursed.
"What did you say! Marimo! Want to fight?!"
Sanji immediately got angry too,
And immediately started fighting with Zoro.
"So delicious!"
Luffy ate the meal, grinning.
"Hmm, indeed delicious."
Luen watched Zoro and Sanji fight while enjoying Sanji's cooking.
This was completely different from the ingredients and seasonings on Blue Star. For a Dragon Country native on Blue Star, there was nothing happier than enjoying this delicious meal after training.
Moreover, all the food consumed was used by the Superman*Beast Physique (Deep Purple) Entry to strengthen his physique, making it an enjoyment within enjoyment.
As for why Sanji didn't receive Haki training like Zoro and Luffy?
Because Sanji's profession was a chef.
Compared to training, Sanji's priority was to first satisfy the dietary needs of Luen and the others after their training, ensuring their nutritional balance.
Only after that did he consider training his own strength.
Zoro and Sanji fought for a while, then Zoro collapsed. Being continuously hit by Haki, coupled with his unhealed injuries, Zoro had long reached his limit.
Sanji didn't take the opportunity to kick him while he was down. For someone hungry, Sanji had to let him eat his fill first, even if it was the Marimo he disliked.
At this moment, Zoro was devouring Sanji's cooking.
That damn cook was annoying, but his culinary skills were impeccable.
Zoro thought, eating.
"Delicious, isn't it? Marimo, you have to eat every last bite."
Sanji watched Zoro wolfing down his cooking, and Luen and Luffy praising his food, lit a cigarette, and smiled.
As a chef, what could be more fulfilling than this moment?
"Don't you dare speak, Swirly Eyebrow."
Zoro cursed, then ignored Sanji and continued eating.
"Hmph."
Sanji smiled.
That damn Marimo, he admitted his cooking was good, didn't he?
"Finished, it was really good!"
Luffy grinned.
"Once you're done, go rest. Haki training ends here for now. The rest, we'll talk about it once we reach the Grand Line."
Luen also ate enough food for his Superman*Beast Physique to digest, then stood up.
Night sailing was very dangerous. Even with a navigator, the ship needed to be anchored at sea, and they could only continue sailing at dawn.
"Oh! Starting tomorrow, we're heading to the Grand Line!"
Luffy laughed, baring his teeth.
These days in this sea area, Luen had been teaching them Haki.
Zoro and Sanji both smiled.
Their dreams could only be realized by going to the Grand Line.
Only Luen remained silent, walking meaningfully towards the door to observe Nami, who was checking the weather.
His Observation Haki had already captured Nami's emotional changes after Luffy shouted about going to the Grand Line. These days of staying in this sea area to teach Luffy and the others Haki were also to give Nami enough time to make up her mind and confess.
It seemed that before heading to the Grand Line, he could also gain some Entries.
Luen smiled and walked towards the bathroom.
"Whew!"
After a comfortable hot shower, Luen sat on his bed, letting out a refreshed sigh.
"However, it's Haki after all. I didn't expect even Observation Haki training to be so bloody."
Luen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although Luen's Conqueror's Haki strength could continuously grow every day due to the Born for the Sea (Super Gold) Entry.
However, Armament Haki and Observation Haki still required improving one's physique and spirit.
The improvement of Armament Haki goes without saying. Through the Born for the Sea (Super Gold) Entry, Luen only needed to strengthen his physique to make his Armament Haki stronger.
As for Observation Haki, Luen understood how to improve it by exploring and based on the feedback from the Strongest Entry System during the process of beating Luffy and Zoro.
The strength of Observation Haki is determined by a combination of spirit and temperament.
"Spirit" here can be understood as an extension of a strong individual's five senses, allowing them to perceive the enemy's aura, emotions, and movements.
After Observation Haki awakens, improving the five senses and then training can make Observation Haki stronger.
Moreover, the five senses have a greater weight in determining the strength of Observation Haki than one's own temperament.
It can be understood that Observation Haki is a magnifier and concretization of a strong individual's five senses.
And the improvement of this concretized five senses, aside from geniuses, can only be significantly enhanced through life-and-death struggles with strong individuals of at least the same level!
Yes, Observation Haki is different from Armament Haki; it has its limits in this regard.
For example, Charlotte Katakuri, who, despite being only a First Mate-level, cultivated his Observation Haki to its extreme, achieving what many Admiral-Emperor-level strong individuals could not: briefly "seeing" the future.
This ability to cultivate Observation Haki to its extreme and briefly "see" the future is actually the concretization and extension of the user's sixth sense after Observation Haki evolves.
Another example is geniuses who are born with special Observation Haki, which cannot even be obtained through training. As for Observation Haki geniuses who are not like Charlotte Katakuri, to improve this To materialize the five senses requires fighting to the death with at least a strong opponent of the same level. This is also easy to understand.
Even ordinary people on the Blue Star, in situations of extreme danger and tension, will experience a significant enhancement of their five senses.
By throwing oneself into a terrifying life-or-death battle, a strong person who has awakened Observation Haki can enhance these materialized five senses. But fighting to the death with at least a strong person of the same level, one slight misstep, and you could truly die.
Those who don't die will undergo tempering in these life-or-death battles, their materialized five senses will become stronger, forging even stronger Observation Haki for themselves.
Moreover, talent in this area is also required. After all, some hotheads, despite their strength, have very poor materialized five senses, such as the Four Emperors, with Big Mom being a typical example.
As expected of a Haki power system similar to "raising Gu," the improvement of Observation Haki, which serves as an auxiliary, requires even more brutal and demanding conditions than the improvement of Armament Haki.
No wonder there are many Armament Haki masters on this sea, and some even possess strength capable of stepping into the Admiral-level threshold solely through Armament Haki, such as 'Black Arm' Zephyr in his prime.
But those who can cultivate Observation Haki to its extreme, capable of momentarily "seeing" into the future, are so few.
Luen smiled as he thought of this.
For Luen, who possesses the Strongest Entry System, there's another way to enhance Observation Haki: directly upgrading it through entries.
Elevating his Observation Haki to the point of "seeing" the future is only a matter of time for Luen.
However, there's no rush for now. In the first half of the Grand Line, there aren't many places that require exceptionally strong Observation Haki.
What Luen currently needs to improve the most is his physique.
"Bang," "Bang~"
While Luen was thinking, the door suddenly knocked.
Luen, who had already awakened Observation Haki, could tell who was outside the door through his perception, even without opening it.
"Click."
Opening the door, Luen revealed a gentle smile to the beautiful figure standing outside.
"Come in, Nami." Luen said, stepping aside.
"Do you know I was coming to find you, Luen?" Nami bit her red lip, hearing Luen's words.
"Of course, I can clearly sense every little change in your emotions." Luen looked at Nami, smiling gently.
With Observation Haki, combined with knowledge of the plot, and all the groundwork he had laid these past few days, it was a simple matter to deduce that Nami would come looking for him.
"Luen." Nami pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.
Luen cared for her so much that he could even sense her every emotional fluctuation.
"Nami, you..."
"Whoosh!"
Just as Luen was about to say something, warmth spread through his chest.
Looking at Nami, who had thrown herself into his arms, her shoulders trembling slightly, Luen gently stroked Nami's orange hair.
"You've worked hard, Nami," Luen said softly.
Luen could feel his chest suddenly becoming wet.
"..."
Nami bit her red lip and looked up, her pretty face tear-streaked, which made Luen's heart ache.
Nami, at ten years old, endured the hatred for her mother, Bell-mère's, murder, shouldering the safety of her villagers, and earning that enormous sum of one hundred million Beli.
One hundred million Beli! In the East Blue, the highest bounty, Arlong, was only twenty million Beli.
What a heavy burden that was for a ten-year-old girl.
But Nami, through her own efforts, earned it. And because of Nami's kindness, she accomplished this feat simply by stealing treasure from evil pirates.
Nami truly worked very hard.
"Luen, help me..."
After her mother, Bell-mère, was killed, for the first time, Nami revealed her fragile, girlish emotions.
That simple "you've worked hard" completely opened Nami's heart.
Luen gently wiped away Nami's tears, then his eyes sharpened. He stepped out of the room and let out a deafening roar.
"Of course!"
His eyes were filled with a chilling intensity.
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!"
The lights in the four rooms immediately turned on.
Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji all came out onto the deck, ready for battle.
"Nami, where are we going?" Luffy rolled up his sleeves, a fierce expression on his face.
"Luen, let us know when we hear his voice, and we'll prepare for battle." Zoro drew his Wado Ichimonji.
"Phew!" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, his face grim.
Usopp said nothing, but the legs that always trembled with fear whenever something happened were steady this time.
"Nami, let's go. We'll take the lives of those who hurt you. We are pirates!" Luen's expression was chilling.
This was the first time Luen had been so enraged since coming to this world.
"Cocoyasi Village." Nami said, her eyes red, naming the place.
