What Three Types of Haki? My System Doesn't Recognize Them!
Vice Admiral Garp, Teacher Garp!
They seemed like two different ways of addressing the same man, but their meanings were worlds apart.
Almost anyone could use the former, but only disciples Garp truly acknowledged could call him the latter.
The last person to address him that way was now a current Marine Admiral, Aokiji!
That alone showed just how much the title was worth.
At that moment.
All the Marines on deck looked at Feng Lei with a trace of envy.
"Feng Lei became Vice Admiral Garp's disciple!"
Koby was filled with envy.
They had become Garp's subordinates at the same time, yet Feng Lei had already pulled ahead of them.
Feng Lei had no objection to Garp telling him to call him teacher.
There was nothing to fault in how Garp treated his disciples.
In two years, he had taken Koby from a weakling to someone who could catch up with the protagonist's crew.
On Hachinosu, he had even taken a blade for Koby.
Most importantly.
Garp possessed all Three Types of Haki. Feng Lei wanted to see what Ninjutsu his system would mistake Haki for if he learned it.
"Teacher Garp, I've learned the Six Powers now. Isn't it time you taught me something new, like..."
"Haki!"
Feng Lei made his request without hesitation.
Clamor!
The deck erupted in an uproar.
This guy really dared to ask!
Compared to the Six Powers, Haki was harder to train.
"Helmeppo, what's Haki?"
Koby asked Helmeppo from beside him.
"I don't know."
Helmeppo shook his head. It was his first time hearing about it too.
"Haki is a latent power everyone possesses. It's an innate ability, like presence or intimidation, and it exists much like an instinct. But the vast majority of people never become aware of this power, or spend their entire lives unable to bring it out."
Just then, a colonel spoke up, answering their question.
"Colonel Boka!"
Koby and Helmeppo hurriedly saluted.
As one of Garp's longtime subordinates, Boka naturally knew Haki too, but even after all his training, he had only mastered Armament Haki.
"I didn't expect that kid to know about Haki, even though he came from the East Blue!"
Hearing that.
Koby and Helmeppo looked at each other, each seeing the same sense of inferiority in the other's eyes.
They hadn't expected Feng Lei to know more than they did.
Haki?
They had never even heard of it!
Feng Lei dared to ask about it. Could it be that he had already sensed that power inside him?
At once.
A sense of frustration welled up in both of them.
When Garp heard Feng Lei's request, he was slightly taken aback too.
Haki?
He actually knew about Haki?
In the entire East Blue, not many people knew about it!
"Ahahaha, looks like you know quite a bit, brat. But this ship isn't a good place to teach you Haki. We'll talk about it when we get to Foosha Village!"
Garp agreed with a hearty laugh.
Feng Lei had already mastered the Six Powers, so it was time for him to learn Haki!
Hearing that.
Feng Lei's eyes lit up.
After that.
The warship sailed slowly toward Foosha Village, and the crowd on deck dispersed.
Feng Lei didn't rest. Instead, he continued training in the "Six Powers."
[Reviewing the old brings new understanding. You repeated your training once, strengthening your physique. Learning progress +0.1%]
[Eight Gates: learning progress 7.5% (Opening)]
After his exchange with Garp, his learning progress had reached seven-point-something percent.
It seems the more intense the actual fight, the more my learning progress increases!
I wonder how much progress I need to open the second gate!
Feng Lei settled down and continued training.
His hard work naturally earned him a measure of respect from the Marines aboard the ship.
He was not only a genius, but also worked so hard!
Only the exhausted Koby and Helmeppo felt bitter as they watched.
Three hours later.
Feng Lei spotted a huge white windmill. The warship gradually slowed and moved toward a harbor to dock.
Have we finally arrived?
He glanced at his progress. It had reached 8%!
"Prepare to dock!"
"Some of you stay on the ship. The rest, come ashore with me to buy provisions and replenish our fresh water!"
Colonel Boka gave orders in an orderly manner.
At that moment.
Garp came out as well. After glancing at Koby and Helmeppo, his gaze settled on Feng Lei.
"Brat, didn't you want to learn Haki? Come with me!"
Under Koby and Helmeppo's gazes, Feng Lei followed Garp off the ship.
Before long, the two passed through Foosha Village and arrived at the forest on the mountain behind it.
Beasts roared from time to time within the forest.
Feng Lei realized that this was where Garp had trained Luffy as a child.
"Since you know about Haki, you should also know that it comes in three types: Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki!"
In a clearing, Garp spoke unhurriedly.
Feng Lei nodded.
"In that case, I'll give you a demonstration! Attack me with everything you've got!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Feng Lei raised his foot without hesitation and kicked hard, sending a crescent-shaped slash flying straight at Garp.
Seeing this, Garp instantly coated his arm in Armament Haki. With a clang, his entire arm turned obsidian-black, and he held it across his body.
The slash, powerful enough to kill any flesh-and-blood body in an instant, struck his arm but couldn't breach his defense in the slightest.
"This is Armament Haki. It can improve your defense and increase your attack power. It's the best way to deal with Devil Fruit Users."
"You have to temper yourself relentlessly to keep strengthening your Armament Haki!"
As Garp finished speaking, a system notification suddenly rang out in Feng Lei's mind.
[Host detected learning Ninjutsu. According to the system's assessment, the Ninjutsu being learned is: Earth Release: Earth Spear!]
[Ninjutsu acquired: Earth Release: Earth Spear.]
[Earth Release: Earth Spear: learning progress 1%.]
After the system had mistaken the "Six Powers" for the "Eight Gates," Feng Lei wasn't surprised in the least that it had mistaken Armament Haki for Earth Release: Earth Spear.
After all, this system's bug was just that peculiar.
As an ability of Kakuzu's original body, Earth Release: Earth Spear could harden any part of the body when used. The hardened parts turned black, providing both offense and defense.
A body like that could repel anything that struck it, like a diamond. Activated the instant an attack came, it was practically an indestructible body!
I wonder if this Ninjutsu can rival Big Mom's Iron Balloon when used!
With that thought, Feng Lei began to look forward to seeing what Ninjutsu the damn system would mistake Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki for!
Just then.
Pairs of crimson eyes suddenly appeared in the forest.
Clearly.
The beasts in the forest had caught Garp and Feng Lei's scent and had surrounded them, intending to devour them both.
"Ahahaha! These fellows have a keen sense of smell. They've saved me some trouble."
Garp laughed heartily and closed his eyes.
Roar!
A beast lunged straight at Garp, but he dodged it easily.
"Observation Haki can predict an enemy's every action without sight. Some people can even use Future Sight, or influence the emotions and minds of others!"
"Next is Conqueror's Haki!"
Garp's eyes suddenly snapped open.
Boom!
An indescribable force of presence erupted from Garp.
Surging, turbulent!
It swept outward like a circular shock wave of air. In an instant, the lunging beasts abruptly froze, then their eyes rolled back and they dropped to the ground one after another!
As Feng Lei watched Garp use Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki in succession, the system in his mind fell silent for a moment before slowly issuing a notification.
[Host detected learning Ninjutsu. According to the system's assessment, the Ninjutsu being learned is: Sharingan!]
[Ninjutsu acquired: Sharingan.]
[Sharingan: learning progress 1%.]
