'Haki!' Igaram thought as he saw all these soldiers on the ground while the young man apparently did nothing.
But the pressure he felt earlier left him no doubt that this young man had used Haki
Among all those present, only he knew of this mysterious power due to his position as a royal guard.
With a long history, the Nefertari royal family had collected a large amount of information and the existence of Haki was written in their archives and the king had shown it to the high command of the army to avoid a confrontation with people who have this power.
Although there was no training method to learn Haki, they knew the types of Haki that existed and one of them stood out above the rest.
Conqueror's Haki!
An ability that subjected others to his will and that only a person with the will of a King could possess.
Igaram was covered in cold sweat and the others looked on in amazement at what had happened.
While they stood there in amazement, Kozue approached Vivi and asked her what had happened.
Coming out of her stupor and although she had never seen him, Viví told him what she knew.
Her father started acting very differently than he normally did and Viví tried to get him to see reason, but what she didn't expect to discover was that her 'father' wasn't really her father, but rather an official agent of Baroque Works who had used a special ability to take on her father's appearance and wanted to provoke a civil war.
Since she knew she couldn't prove anything, she looked to the young man in front of her for help.
Kozue already knew what was happening in the kingdom, but she still listened to Vivi and pretended to be hearing about it for the first time.
"Okay, I'll be right back."
"In the meantime, stay at the mall," Kozue said as she turned around.
"Wait, can I help you…" Vivi wanted to offer that she and Igaram could help him, but Kozue didn't give her time to say a full sentence before she launched herself into the air and flew away.
"What…"
From his position, it looked like Kozue was constantly kicking the air.
.
.
.
While flying, Kozue checked her status window.
[6 Navy Styles: Soru - Level 5, Geppo - Level 3, Tekkai - Level 5, Paper Body - Level 5, Rankyaku - Level 3, Shigan - Level 2]
[Armor Haki - Level 1]
[Observation Haki - level 1]
[Sword Skill - Level 3]
[Touki - level 5]
[lightning magic - level 3]
[water magic - level 3]
[fire magic - level 3]
[wind magic - level 3]
[mental magic - level 5]
[sealing magic]
While his Haki did not advance, his ability to use it in battle did, along with his improvement in the 6 marine styles.
Aside from acquiring Geppo, Rankyaku, and Shigan, and improving the ones he had previously, he gained new abilities such as wind magic and mind magic.
Wind magic is what helped him fly at high speed even when his Geppo level was only level 3.
Instead, mental magic was what he used earlier to defeat the soldiers surrounding his shopping center.
Since it was a level 5 skill, he was able to control it to affect the soldiers and make the people around him feel a bit of mental pressure.
In this way, he fulfilled his purpose of hiding his otherworldly abilities with the abilities of this world.
As for sealing magic, Kozue learned it to capture her enemies, preventing them from escaping, especially Devil Fruit users.
Kozue didn't want to carry seastone handcuffs around, so learning sealing magic would be very helpful.
BAM BAM BAM
The sound of their feet stamping in the air was loud and the people on the ground pointed in amazement.
The soldiers who were watching Kozue's figure flying, realized that the person flying was heading towards the palace, so they quickly dropped what they were doing and urgently headed towards the palace as well.
The civilians who saw this also headed towards the palace out of curiosity.
The soldiers didn't care about this.
The king was in danger and they had to get to the palace to fulfill their duty.
Since Kozue had the advantage, he arrived first and the soldiers arrived 5 minutes later.
When the soldiers arrived at the palace, they found more soldiers shouting at a figure in the air holding another figure by the neck.
It was Kozue and the 'cobra' King
The soldiers shouted and lamented that Pell, one of the royal guards, was not present.
Previously, the king had sent the two royal guards to other cities to maintain order, so Pell, who had eaten a Devil Fruit that allowed him to transform into a Falcon, was not present to protect the king.
Mr. 2, who was in the guise of the cobra king, had his teeth clenched while his mouth had a trickle of blood.
The guy holding him by the neck hit him really hard in the stomach and somehow he couldn't move.
Lord 2 wanted to shout and order like a king to be released, but what Kozue did prevented him from speaking either.
Suddenly, Mr. 2 felt a pressure on his mind and lost consciousness.
"Whaaaaat?!"
Under the astonished gaze and screams of the soldiers, the appearance of the king cobra changed completely, and now everyone could see Mr. 2.
Chaos began.
.
.
.
Vivi couldn't believe that everything could be resolved so easily.
She waited with Igaram inside the mall and hoped it would take a long time for any news to arrive.
But he didn't have to wait even 15 minutes for a group of soldiers to arrive with shocking news for the civilians and soldiers who were slowly recovering.
The king had been replaced by an impostor and the previous orders were void.
She and Igaram traveled to the palace and heard what Kozue did.
Although Vivi had expected it, it was still astonishing that Kozue simply fell into the palace gate, easily defeated the soldiers in her path, and captured the 'king' easily.
Although he was not the actual king, it was still worrying that someone had that strength to easily capture a king in his kingdom.
Kozue could take the kingdom if he wanted.
Igaram, who saw the princess's worried face, asked what was happening and if she should be happy because the imposter had been caught.
Vivi told her worries and Igaram was silent for a few seconds before letting out a sigh.
"Princess Vivi, what I'm about to mention to you was something the king was hoping to tell you later, but with what's currently happening in the kingdom, I think the king won't be upset if I tell him that there are many men and women in the world, especially in the second part of the Grand Line, with enough strength to easily overthrow kingdoms by themselves."
Viví's face was still that of someone who didn't believe what Igaram was saying.
While traveling to the palace, Igaram told Vivi about the powerful marines and pirates that exist, especially the admirals and the 4 emperors1235.
The strength of the Admirals and Emperors was tremendous, who could sink the Island with their attacks
The more Igaram spoke, the more I believed that Igaram was exaggerating and that people with that kind of power couldn't exist.
Igaram just shook his head and they continued their journey.
After arriving at the palace, the soldiers outside the mansion welcomed Vivi and she just gave them a sideways nod before quickly entering.
He met a maid on the road and she told him where Kozue was.
After a few minutes, he found the young man in the basement where Mr. 2 was being held captive.
"Kozue, did he say where my father was? Do you know who the leader of Baroque Works is?" I asked worriedly.
Kozue nodded and said.
"Yes, and I know where your father is."
"Really? Great!"
"So we have to go rescue him now."
But Kozue disagreed and shook his head.
"No princess, I'll go alone"
"Why?!" Viví screamed.
"I can help"
"Also, Alabasta has 800,000 soldiers, so it will be easier to rescue my father."
Still, Kozue shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if they have double their numbers"
"They will hinder me"
"And if you interfere in my battle with the leader of Baroque Works, only death awaits you."
"They will be slaughtered by Crocodile" Kozue said and Vivi froze.
"¿Crocodile?"
"Are you telling me the leader of Baroque Works is the Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile?!" I cried, surprised.
Kozue nodded in confirmation and Vivi felt things were getting complicated.
