231. The Golden Trio

Rusukaina Island was in the calm belt, just adjacent to Amazon Lily and not much away from Impel Down.

Alexander's ship was a normal Marine ship that every Admiral gets. It had paddle-wheels to move forward in the calm belt and seastones lining at the bottom of the ship that kept seakings away.

Alexander had already left all the common sense at the back of his head after finding out about the world's geography. It was too nonsensical and the Grand line was just like that. Trapped in between two calm belts, circling the planet from north-west to south-east. It was perpendicular to the Red Line, a mountain range dividing the planet in half.

The Grand line was a weird place with extreme weather phenomena. On one island there'll be a desert and on another, there will be a snowstorm.

"Sir, which route should we take?" His ship captain named Bald Chad asked him. Bald Chad was a 7-foot tall guy. He never had a single hair on his head ever since his birth, so his parents added Bald to his name after some years, making him Bald Chad. He was very loyal to Alexander.

"Go straight to Enies Lobby from here and then to Rusukaina. No need to stop until we reach our destination."

Bald Chad saluted and left. Normally he should have asked questions like how they would travel the Grand Line, but he didn't because Alexander had given him many Eternal Pose(A compass that only points to a particular island no matter where you are) that he bought in all these years. Paradise was a highly traveled area so it had the location of most of the Islands registered.

Once everyone was on the ship, Alexander stood up facing the port of Foosha village. He could sense everyone with this new ability he had learned called observation Haki. He saw all the pirates and thieves.

Then suddenly, all people on the island except innocents stopped moving. They tried but couldn't. They continuously felt something pressing them down and the pressure was increasing by the second.

"LISTEN, YOU ALL THE PIRATE AND BANDIT SCUMS, IF ANYONE TOUCHES ANY INNOCENT ON THIS ISLAND, I WILL COME AFTER YOU PERSONALLY." A loud voice echoed throughout the island.

All the concerned parties quickly understood it was a message for them. Some of them instantly collapsed on the ground as soon as the pressure disappeared. Dread filled all their hearts.

Alexander just used his conqueror Haki. It was a rare form of Haki that allows the user to exert their own willpower over others. This type of Haki cannot be attained through training; it is a power that one must be born with. Only one in several million people are born with this ability. But Alexander was pretty sure he had it because he was God-son.

It is said that whoever possesses this type of Haki has the qualities of a king. And Alexander was a god. One with a small g for now but still a god.

Alexander didn't know how strong his haki abilities were. He only tried them once and mastered them. For example, he was able to kill seakings with just his Conquerer Haki.

Alexander felt movement near him, so he turned and saw the golden trio. "What is it, you three?"

All three had stars in their eyes, "Admiral, d-do you have conqueror haki?" Tsuru asked.

"Ah, that? Yeah, I do. What? You all want to learn it?" Alexander asked.

First, the three quickly nodded but then realizing who they were asking and shook their heads. It was quite comical.

"Haha... I guess I should teach that before your training starts." Alexander thoughtfully said and gestured them to follow.

He brought them to the open area on the deck, "Alright, there are three kinds of Haki. Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror Haki. Now, I can teach you the first two but the last one is something you are born with so it depends on your luck. Now tell me, which do you want to learn first?"

Garp quickly spoke, "Armament Haki. I've heard it makes your punch feel like steel."

Sengoku interjected, "Fool, who will you punch when you can't see around you? We should learn Observation Haki first,"

"Haha, Sen-chan is right. However, both of these Haki are very important if you want to rise in the ranks. Remember, the stronger you are, the higher you will get. Now, stand side by side."

Suddenly Tsuru picked her hand, "Sir, I've heard people say that you are the strongest man in the world. Then why aren't you the fleet admiral?"

*Sigh*

"Tsuru-Chan, and you two. Remember, things are never as simple as they seem. If you want to know the answer to this question then you need to reach a high position because if I told you now then you might lose your will to become a Marine. Alright, enough chit chat.

"Armament Haki is a form of Haki that allows the user to use their own spiritual energy to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themselves, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities.

"The best thing about this form of Haki is that it can be used to injure Devil Fruit users that are otherwise immune to ordinary physical attacks, such as Logia users. Now close your eyes and focus. Try to imagine your inner spirit covering your fist and punch these metal blocks." Suddenly 3 big metal blocks fell from thin air.

The three's eyes nearly fell out seeing them, "Alright, your first job is to at least make a deep dent in it. Now start."

Alexander walked away from them, brought out a nice recliner, and sat down. Beside him was a small table with chips and Firewhiskey. Soon Dobby also joined on another recliner. The aroma of the whiskey made many sailors salivate but they all kept their calm.

For an hour the trio kept their eyes closed in all seriousness. The first to open was Sengoku, he quickly took a fighting stance and punched as hard as he could.

*Boom*

It didn't make a dent but it was still a progress. If not then Sengoku's fist would have been crushed.

After that, Tsuru went and had the same result. It was to be expected. No one could master it in an hour.

Finally, it was Garp's turn. He opened his eyes and took a fighting stance. He took a long breath and finally went for it.

*BOOM*

This was by far the loudest punch. All the Marines looked at him shockingly.

*CRACK*

"AAAAAAA..." Garp yelled in pain. He had gotten his fist broken.

"Bwahahaha..." Alexander started laughing uncontrollably while slapping his thighs.

"Boy, you've got a long way to go. I saw your nose twitch at whiskey's smell." Alexander commented. He got up and walked to Garp in pain. Garp was just an energy-filled 22-year-old boy, Alexander couldn't be so heartless as to ignore his broken hand.

"Alright, show it to me." He checked his fist.

"Next time, if you aren't sure, don't do it." He said and used magic. Garp's hand started to glow in golden light and soon all the broken fingers started to fix themselves. In a few seconds, it was back to normal.

Garp tried his fist by opening and closing it. He felt no pain. "How did you do that, old man?"

"It's... Magic," Alexander whispered.

*BAM* Garp received a fist to his head. A big bump came out.

"What was that for?"

"It's Admiral to you, not old man. Now get up and start practicing Observation Haki. It's a form of Haki that grants the user a sixth sense that allows them to sense the presence, strength, and emotions of others, as well as gain limited precognitive abilities. If you master it, it can also grant you the ability to see some moments in the future." He instructed.

"What? Can you see in the future too?" Sengoku asked.

"Yes, I can Sen-Chan. And Garp is going to pull your mustache." Alexander warned him.

Garp shockingly looked at Alexander, "Woah... You really can see the future?"

"You bastard, I told you not to pull my glorious mustache." Sengoku roared at Garp.

"Easy now, you will again close your eyes and try to feel your surroundings. You three will help each other in this. When the two of you are focusing one of you will constantly pick and drop a needle near you. He will repeat it until you catch that needle without looking. Each time you get 10 tries before changing positions. Now start." He instructed and returned back to his seat.

*Crunch*

He again started eating chips loudly, trying to break their focus.
