Chapter 4 - Kenbunshoku Haki

With my eyes closed, I felt an unexpected energy flowing through my body. I could sense the vibrations of the ship, the footsteps of the guards, and even their thoughts. It was as if I had the ability to connect with the world around me without relying on my sense of sight. There was no doubt about it, as a One Piece fan, I was well acquainted with this extraordinary power - Kenbunshoku Haki. This power allowed me to perceive the state of my surroundings through observation that didn't require vision.

I let out a weak laugh, lacking the strength to laugh any louder. I remembered that Coby gained this power after the great war at Marineford. Back then, he experienced a tremendous shock witnessing the brutality of the battle between the Marines and Whitebeard pirates. Kenbunshoku Haki not only granted Coby the ability to observe his environment but also allowed him to sense someone's emotions. I wasn't sure if this was a special effect unique to Coby or a common effect for all users of this power. My mind was filled with various hypotheses about the reasons behind the awakening of this power within me. Perhaps, due to experiencing the same shock when captured by these pirates, Coby's power was unintentionally awakened within me. Or it could be because of the combination of both souls within me, accelerating the awakening of this power within my small and frail body.

Whatever the reason behind the presence of this power, I felt glad to possess it rather than having no power at all. With the newly acquired Kenbunshoku Haki, I focused and closed my eyes to sense the environment around me. After a few moments, images started appearing in my mind about the surroundings. This perception continued to expand from within the cabin of the ship, delving into the depths of the vessel, and ultimately encompassing the entire surface of the ship. In my mind, I could see every part of the ship using this power. But it didn't stop there. My Kenbunshoku Haki continued to extend, covering the surface of the sea, allowing me to estimate a vast area, reaching a radius of 500 meters from the center of my body.

This power provided me with an incredible advantage in exploring the ship. I could plan my actions better, avoid danger, and utilize situations more effectively. Kenbunshoku Haki became my loyal companion on the journey towards freedom.
