Chapter 16: Three Type Of Haki
"Here it comes!"
Gawain's eyes lit up.
There is no need to explain how powerful Pussyfoot Maneuver is, especially since he has the nerve reaction speed to keep up with Pussyfoot Maneuver's super speed.
As long as he masters this ability, his combat power will truly undergo a qualitative change.
His original rating was at the limit of Iron, and if he broke through again, he would be able to reach Bronze.
The Bronze level is considered a top figure in the first half of the Grand Line. If it were in the East Blue, it would be a complete massacre.
But…
Currently, the level of this skill is only level 0, which means it has just been awakened and has not been mastered yet, so it cannot be used in actual combat.
Gawain was not in a hurry.
After all, Kuro is already at the level of a madman, and now that he has found his goal, it is even more so.
It is true that he longs for a peaceful and comfortable life, but in order to achieve his goals, he is not only cruel to others but also to himself.
Just looking at the bruises on Kuro's body after his daily training, Gawain was shocked but also more relieved.
Leeks should just practice hard like this, unlike the people who cut them, who have so many things to consider.
Gawain smiled knowingly, then stood up and walked towards the training room on the warship.
Now, it's already late at night.
There were gusts of cold wind blowing outside the window from time to time.
Except for the pirates who were in charge of night watch and navigation, almost everyone else on the warship went into the cabin to sleep.
Only the occasional loud collision sounds could be heard from the training room, and it was obvious that Kuro was still training.
Bronze-level potential not only means that his ceiling is higher but also means that his body has an endurance far beyond that of ordinary people.
Due to the uncontrollable nature of the skill of Pussyfoot Maneuver, this place has almost become Kuro's personal training ground.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
At a very high speed, Kuro kept crashing into the wall. Even with the protection of a pad, bruises were inevitable on his body.
But he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he squeezed the potential of his body more and more intensely.
His speed was getting faster, but at the same time, this move was becoming more and more difficult to control, and the speed of his nerve reaction greatly limited his improvement.
While training, he became more curious about how Gawain could see through the speed of Pussyfoot Maneuver.
With thoughts surging in his mind, Kuro's figure gradually slowed down. He stretched out his hands to support his knees and gasped for breath with sweat all over his body as if he had been pulled out of the water.
"Captain?!"
Only then did Kuro notice that the door of the training room had already been opened, and Gawain was standing at the door, looking at him indifferently.
Without any hesitation, Kuro directly asked the doubts in his heart:
"How on earth did you see through the speed of Pussyfoot Maneuver?"
As long as the uncontrollable problem of Pussyfoot Maneuver is solved, Kuro's combat power will skyrocket, and he will not be without the ability to fight even against the current Gawain.
It's hard to say who will be whose deputy by then. Besides, after entering the Grand Line, it may not be Gawain who takes over the title of Warlord of the Sea!
Kuro thought so in his heart but did not show any expression on his face. He just looked like he was humbly seeking advice.
Gawain did not see through Kuro's little thoughts, and even if he did, he would not care.
After all, for every point of progress you make, I can gain ten points. If he can still fail in this situation, then he should really not be the captain.
If overthrowing himself as captain would allow his subordinates to become stronger, Gawain would even want to stick his own photo on the training target.
Gawain looked at Kuro and said:
"It's natural, but if you want to improve the controllability of the Pussyfoot Maneuver, there are different ways."
"Physical transformation to increase nerve reaction speed, or devil fruit, can achieve immediate results."
Kuro shook his head, looking somewhat disappointed:
"I've thought of all these methods."
"The probability of physical transformation failing is high, and I have never heard of any place that can perform nerve transformation. Devil fruits are rare, and those that can increase nerve reaction speed are even rarer."
"Is there absolutely no possibility of completing this move?"
"That may not be the case."
Gawain saw that the time was almost right, so he stopped teasing Kuro:
"Everyone has a hidden power in their body, and it's called Haki."
"The Haki that can be attached to the body or weapons to directly enhance offensive and defensive capabilities are called Armament Haki."
"The Haki that only one in a million can have and can be used to knock out the opponent is called Conqueror's Haki; and..."
"The Haki is that sense beyond the five senses that allows one to see enemies behind or even outside of one's field of vision and to read the opponent's actions in advance is called Observation Haki."
"And the Observation-Haki can perfectly solve the problem of Pussyfoot Maneuver!"
"Haki?"
Kuro's eyes lit up:
"Captain, have you mastered this power..."
"No, I just have quick reflexes."
Gawain spread his hands helplessly as he spoke.
Kuro's mouth twitched, and he wanted more and more to overthrow the man in front of him and become the captain again.
Gawain continued:
"In the Grand Line, especially in the New World, many strong people master Haki. It can even be said that you can't survive in the New World if you don't know how to use Haki."
"You can try to see if you can awaken your Observation-Haki."
"Limit your five senses and rely on your intuition to perceive your surroundings."
"Intuition..."
Kuro looked thoughtful.
After pondering for a moment, he found a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his eyes, then began to try to rely on his vague intuition to perceive his surroundings.
Whoosh!
Kuro launched a Pussyfoot Maneuver and, lost control and crashed into the wall, almost breaking the pad. Then, there was a series of dense collision sounds.
"Hiss!"
Gawain gasped; the scene was painful to watch.
He simply turned and left.
Time passed quickly, and the noise in the training room gradually died down.
Kuro, who had taken off the cloth strip, gnashed his teeth in pain and started to curse:
"Are you kidding me?!"
"What's this sixth sense beyond the five senses? Is he fooling me?!"
Gawain, who had already fallen asleep, turned over and slept more soundly.
The next day.
Kuro did not practice as usual.
Gawain wanted to go and ask the reason.
But when he saw Kuro's bandages and murderous eyes, he could only give an awkward and polite smile: "You know, this kind of thing can't be rushed."
"Roll!"
Kuro immediately turned red in anger. If he wasn't injured and couldn't win, he really wanted to fight.
However, he did not give up.
Although he felt resentful, he knew more clearly that Gawain would not lie to him about such a thing.
First of all, he would be following Gawain to the Grand Line soon, so if it was a lie, it would be self-defeating.
Secondly, with Gawain's courage, he would not lie about such a thing.
So, on only the third day, Kuro, who had barely recovered from his injuries, began to try to practice Observation-Haki again, and as expected, he went to the infirmary again.
Both hands were fractured, and there were multiple soft tissue contusions.
Even with his physical condition, he won't be able to enter the training room again within half a month.
Gawain looked at the system panel and saw the Pussyfoot Maneuver, which had just reached level 1, and he couldn't stop smiling.
