Advanced Armament Haki

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Keynes flipped his palms and knocked out all the ghosts.

"Weihahahaha, captain, I didn't expect there to be more ghosts."

Burgess originally thought ghosts were just legends, but he didn't expect to see them now.

"Not only ghosts, but also zombies."

Keynes looked at the gloomy island ahead and said coldly.

Suddenly, the electronic sound of the system rang in my mind.

[ Ding, the host triggers the kill mission, "Death of a Warlord" ]

[ It's been detected that the Host is in the Devil's Triangle Sea and is besieged by Thriller Bark. Please kill Moria and stand out from the siege. ]

[ Quest reward: Advanced Armament Haki. ]

Keynes didn't have a famous teacher to teach him and he didn't have a strong opponent to train him. He could only rely on his family's method to cultivate by himself, so his improvement in Haki was very slow.

Today his Observation and Armament Haki are well above average, but not advanced.

The so-called Advanced Armament Haki is where you can cover your whole body with Haki and harden it.

Both attack and defense are far above average.

Keynes can barely cover his entire body with Armament Haki, but forcibly covering your whole body will weaken attack and defense prowess.

Only when your whole body is covered with Armament Haki and hardened, the power isn't weakened in the slightest and is considered at the advance-level.

(Even those at the same level, Haki's 'strength' is different!)

"Let's go have a look at this island."

Keynes looked at the island and said, "Since the host has graciously invited us, we can't help but show up."

"Weihahahaha, the captain is right, I still want to see all the zombies and ghosts."

Burgess anchored the boat to prevent it from being carried away by the current.

Then Keynes and Burgess boarded the island together.

.....

In the eerie forest, there was not a trace of sunlight.

Occasionally crows flew up and some strange sounds sounded adding a touch of terror.

Before long, Keynes came to a graveyard.

He saw the grave cracked open, and the first broken arms stretched out from the soil of bandaged zombies crawling out of the ground.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of zombies surrounded Keynes growling from their mouths.

"Weihahahaha, are these zombies? They look weak."

Burgess jumped into the zombie pile, punched one by one, and quickly eliminated all the hundreds of zombies.

"Such a boring trick."

Keynes watched, suddenly realizing that Moriah's decline was not without reason.

Oars slept on this island, and only if his strength could be enhanced, there'll be ghosts.

He also planned to create an army of zombies to take revenge on Kaido.

If Kaido could be beaten with these zombies, Keynes would rather believe Kaido got drunk and threw himself to death.

Even if Kaido lay down and let these zombies hit him, the zombies probably wouldn't be able to pierce through his dragon skin!

"Burgess go on by yourself cautiously; I'll go straight to the one behind all this."

Keynes leaped into the air and flew straight toward the ancient castle in the center of the island.

The Black-Hole fruit controls the gravity of the black hole.

After a bit of development, Keynes could control the magnitude and direction of gravity at will.

As long as the reference object is set to achieve flight, it's not a difficult task. 

Keynes came over the ancient castle and his Observation Haki was opened to clearly capture the hundreds of people in the castle.

These auras consisted of weak and strong; the strongest though are at the bottom of the castle.

"Looks like Moria hasn't woken up yet."

Keynes knew that Moriah was always asleep when there were no enemies.

When the enemy arrives, his zombie minions would wake him up, but Keynes came too soon for Moriah's zombie minions to inform him.

"It's no wonder he's become an otaku and fallen these eight years."

Keynes remembers that Moriah was defeated by Kaido eight years ago; afterwards was invited to become the Seven Warlords of the Sea, to be hiding in the Devil's Triangle.

(The original story states that Moria was defeated by Kaido in 1510.)

After eight years of degeneration, how could a person's strength not regress?

A small black hole appeared in Keynes' palm, and with a flick of his finger, he shot into the castle.

Then there was a loud bang.

The violent explosion directly destroyed the castle completely; the monstrous flames filled the sky and bursts of screams came.

The screams were all from zombies. Although they didn't feel pain, they were scared and screamed.

The zombies on fire escaped from the sea of fire like ghosts.

Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball rolled out of the sea of fire.

That's right, leave.

He was like a ball with flames all over him.

Moria screamed. While rolling, the flames on his body were extinguished.

"Damn it, what happened?"

Moriah shouted angrily, "Who dares to blow up my castle?"

Moriah's voice was sharp, and more piercing than Burgess' wild laughter.

At this moment, Moriah's face was covered in blood and his body was charred and bruised.

Unfortunately, he didn't even know who his enemy was and where he was.

"Hey, I'm on top of your head." Keynes said coldly.

Moriah looked up and saw Keynes suspended in mid-air, gnashing his teeth in anger.

"Little man, you're the one who did this!"

"No! I'm the only one here. If it wasn't me, who did it?"

Keynes sneered: "It's just that I didn't expect that the famous Seven Warlord of the Sea Moriah has become a fat pig now."

"Little fucker, damn you!"

"Release the bats!"

Moriah was furious, and the shadow behind him exploded in an instant. A swarm of bats flying towards Keynes.

Moriah is a Shadow Person who can freely manipulate his shadow into a means of attack.

"Boring."

Keynes was expressionless with his voice just finished, and he disappeared in mid-air in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Moriah.

"You're too slow!"

Keynes punched Moriah in the stomach. His fist pitch black covered not only Armament Haki but also with the power of the Black-Hole Fruit.

Moria's stomach was sunken in an instant as his body was bent into a bow shape. Fangs were open and blood kept pouring out.
