The black flowing on the fist, like the dark ink on paper, or the gushing black petroleum, surged layer by layer.
'Hardening' level of Haki, no matter how you control it, it's impossible to overlay Haki. No matter how much Haki there is, the distribution of Hardening is always fixed.
To enhance the power of Haki, gather the Haki from useless spots to be used uniformly, and you need to make the Haki 'flow' and gather at the desired location.
This is what is called 'Coiling'.
The two don't even conflict and can be used simultaneously.
However, the things that are coiled by Haki are not limited to the body and the objects touching it. Once coiled, it can be thrown out!
Currently, Sage has mastered these two.
Compared to the Haki power he racked his brains to understand but couldn't unleash, Garp punched it out before he even unleashed the 'Galaxy Impact'.
Indeed, only when facing strong enemies in battle can one freely unleash their power between life and death.
"Hahaha..."
Sage let out a chuckle, and the laughter grew louder, raising his head in wild laughter: "Hohohohoho!"
He finally learned Haki!
"Sage, why are you laughing now? Everyone's already finished." Renedia tilted her head, a question mark appearing.
The cheers of the slave laborers had long ended, and they were all staring at him in bewilderment as he looked at his arm, then slow to react with laughter.
"What do you know!"
Sage laughed, ruffling Renedia's pink hair, and said, "In ancient times, there was the quick-learning by Master Kai, and now there's Senior Garp's punch of enlightenment. I'm also a guy with the potential of a king!"
"Eh? Haven't you always had it? Senior Garp... Garp's surname is Monkey, not Garp, and who is Master Kai?" Renedia asked, puzzled.
"Some youth beast, not important."
Sage waved it off, feeling delighted.
Not because of mastering Haki, but mainly when mastering it, he discovered something worth rejoicing about.
The Haki thing, the apparently rare Supreme King Haki cannot be strengthened through training; the truly rare Observation is like a Devil Fruit relying on talent, essentially fate.
The extreme of Observation development is 'Foreseeing the Future', a domain only a few can reach, almost becoming legendary.
VIP version, Sage doesn't have.
He just got this thing, not knowing to what extent he can develop it.
As for Supreme King Haki, though not yet fully mastered, he knows there's no boundary, it can only become more proficient, and there should be special ways to enhance it.
Otherwise, where did the Supreme King's Entanglement come from!
Before crossing over, he had also watched Master Kai!
Though forgetting most of the plot, being in this world, the names of those Great Pirates constantly ring in his ears, making it hard to forget.
Just not sure how to grasp it yet.
But surely it relates to combat; when in doubt, rely on fighting.
Winning is a win-win.
These two kinds of Haki, there's no 'amount', at least Sage feels his Observation is passive; it can turn active when intentionally used, yet it has no 'amount', usable indefinitely.
Maybe it consumes stamina, but it's unrelated to 'amount'.
The only one with 'amount' is Armament Haki.
This Haki, which everyone can perform through will control, exhibits the extent of each person's capacity. Anyone can perform Armament, but how long it's used and how much is used is entirely different.
Sage doesn't count on mastering internal destruction, Supreme King's Entanglement, or Foreseeing the Future. Just mastering Haki is reason enough for him to dare to charge into the New World.
Haki isn't invincible, mastering internal destruction is merely something, but the skills in using Haki versus its intensity are fundamentally different matters.
Especially those in the New World who have grasped their will, show off by displaying Haki, so what if they have Haki?
The power exhibited by a glass of water only reaches the height of the glass, it won't become a tank.
And Sage discovered this point.
If those trash are cups of water, and the stronger soldiers are tanks, then his amount of Haki...
Bang!
He clenched his fist suddenly, shaking the air with a bang, the flowing black surging like waves, layering upon the fist, endlessly.
It's a device that constantly produces water!
The quantity of his Armament, its upper limit may not be high yet, but no matter how Sage uses it, he feels his Haki amount regenerates rapidly.
No matter how much, no matter the usage, within this limit, he can't exhaust it!
This discovery is what truly makes him overjoyed.
Armament Haki, once exhausted, naturally needs rest to recover, related to stamina but not much so, unlimited stamina doesn't equate to unlimited Haki.
Yet infinite Haki...
Strong as duck's hide!
This is the manifestation of willpower; Sage always feels it should be compensation for his past life.
Initially suppressed by his adoptive father, who wanted him to wait for death calmly, while his own unyielding will to resist!
Having failed in entrepreneurship many times, crashed in every industry he entered, yet still filled with ambition and perseverance!
This led to his endlessly surging, like high-speed regeneration Haki amount!
Perhaps...
He didn't know how it formed, but to him, the amount of Armament Haki constantly regenerates, never depleting.
Next, by raising the limit, he'll become like a perpetual motion machine; as long as he can swing a fist, he can use Haki, even if unable to move, he can cover his whole body!
"Lily, count heads!" Sage grinned widely.
"Six hundred, six hundred one..."
Even before he spoke, Lily had jumped onto the second floor, counting the heads roughly, now shouting, "Sage, six hundred fifty people!"
The ship's standard capacity has already reached more than half, capable of sailing with just the pirates without Renedia's power.
"Mm, as I sensed!"
Sage nodded, shouting, "Start the banquet..."
His voice stopped abruptly, looking at the starry sky above, and the sails not yet painted with any color, pondering while stroking his chin, "The crew is sufficient, time for a name, what should we call our Pirates?"
"Thick Pants Pirates!" Renedia was the first to raise her hand.
"Hmm?"
Sage was taken aback, then realized, "That's called North Star! North Star! Not Thick Pants!"
Renedia thought for a moment, raising her hand again, "Then... Sister-Crying Fist Pirates!"
"That's Hundred Split Fist! Though I have abilities in that aspect, I'm strong, I don't use fists, nor do I force others! No nonsense!" Sage's temple veined.
"What about Death Star Pirates?" Lily came over and said, "You always say, Death Star is shining or something..."
Sage nodded, "That works too..."
"Uh, Captain..."
Suddenly, a slave laborer raised his hand, said, "Aren't we the Disaster Pirates?"
