Chapter 24 : Do You Want To Learn? I Teach You!
Phew...
Seeing Luffy show mercy to Zoro's subordinates in the video, the Straw Hat Pirates all let out a sigh of relief~~~
Even though it happened in another world, it still mattered because they are crewmates...
If Luffy had actually killed Zoro, it could have caused a rift between the Luffy and Zoro here too.
["What a joke!!!"]
[When Luffy's words reached him, Zoro was furious!!!]
[In this sea, not only is he undefeated, but he barely has any real rivals!!]
[And this guy dared to say he could beat him with one punch...?]
[He couldn't let that slide!!]
[Zoro roared immediately, "Get ready to fight again, right now!!"]
[But Luffy shook his head, "Nope, no more. You're too weak~"]
["What?! Don't look down on me!!"]
[Zoro felt deeply insulted and shouted, "If you're that arrogant, don't blame me if you get hurt!!"]
[With that, Zoro charged at Luffy again!!!]
[But...]
[He barely got halfway before he collapsed, flipping over and hitting the ground, foaming at the mouth...]
Trafalgar Law: "Huh? Did Zoro suddenly get heatstroke?"
Eustass Kid: "Idiot! That's Conqueror's Haki! But... why did Straw Hat's Conqueror's Haki only stun one person? Isn't it supposed to be stronger?"
As a Conqueror's Haki user himself, Kid knew that whenever he released it, it affected an entire area!!
But here, only Zoro was knocked out, while everyone else around was completely fine...
Kaido: "Fool! The stronger your Conqueror's Haki gets, the more precise your control! Wasting it on a wide area like you do is just rookie behavior!"
Eustass Kid: "Who are you calling a fool, you idiot?!"
Shiki: "Hahaha!! Well said, Kaido really is an idiot!"
Kaido: "Huh? Kid, right? I'll remember you!"
Eustass Kid: "Remember what you want! Just because others fear you Four Emperors doesn't mean I do! One day, I'll knock you off your throne!"
Kaido: "You brat! How dare you!"
[Luffy, having used Conqueror's Haki to knock out Zoro, was about to leave.]
"Wait...!!"
Just as Luffy turned away, he heard Zoro's voice again.
Huh?
Luffy stopped, furrowing his brows and turning back around, looking at Zoro with surprise~~~
Why hadn't this guy passed out completely?
Even a tiger in the mountains would be knocked out for a long time by Conqueror's Haki at this level!
Looking at Zoro, Luffy calmly said, "I've already told you, you're too weak! I'm not going to fight you."
"No! I'm not asking to fight again. The gap between us is already clear."
Zoro gritted his teeth, using his sword as support while slowly standing up.
Such strong willpower!
Luffy quietly admired Zoro in his heart!
He knew exactly how painful it was to stand again after being overwhelmed by Conqueror's Haki.
It was like going through extreme training, multiplied by ten times the difficulty of forcing yourself up after being completely drained. This was what Zoro was facing now...
"Please tell me, why can you make me lose all my strength with just one look? How can I stand against that power?"
Zoro took a deep breath, his expression serious.
Well said—recognizing defeat but seeking to grow stronger...
Luffy silently approved and said, "This is Conqueror's Haki. Only those with great willpower and strength can handle the pressure of Conqueror's Haki!"
"In my view, your willpower is strong enough. What you need is more strength. When your strength increases to a certain level, you'll be able to resist it."
"Conqueror's Haki..." Zoro repeated, gritting his teeth. "How can I learn this power?"
Luffy shook his head, "Conqueror's Haki is something you're born with! If you have the talent, it will awaken as you grow stronger."
Luffy's words struck Zoro like lightning, leaving him stunned!
Zoro took a deep breath and bowed his head. "Innate... So, does that mean I was never meant to be strong?!"
"Not exactly. There are three types of Haki. Besides Conqueror's Haki, which is innate, the other two—Armament Haki and Observation Haki—can be learned through training."
Saying this, Luffy held out his hand and demonstrated the use of Armament Haki.
"By coating yourself with Armament Haki, you can boost both your attack and defense. Observation Haki lets you sense the presence, emotions, and movements of living beings around you, helping you predict and dodge attacks."
"If you master Armament and Observation Haki, you can still become very strong!"
Luffy explained.
Hearing Luffy's words, hope flared up in Zoro's heart.
He looked at Luffy, "Please teach me how to learn these two types of Haki."
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you! But I'll only show you once. How much you master depends on you!"
While Haki training methods were precious, Luffy wasn't one to keep them secret.
If Shanks had kept them from him in the past, Luffy wouldn't have reached his current level of Haki.
To Luffy, passing on knowledge was like honoring a legacy~~~
Shanks' carefree spirit~~~
And Monkey D. Luffy would carry it on...
