So Haki Was This Important!

"Why? Is it just because of its Haki?" Chopper asked with great interest.

Haku said, "Instead of letting you disbelieve me, I'll give you a little shock!"

Haku knew that saying anything more would be pointless, so he took out his Zanpakuto and went to the side of the ship.

Everyone was curious about what Haku was up to. Haku had already identified some Pirates who wanted to join in the fun they had just witnessed.

Among them, Haku also paid special attention to Kid, Pirates from the Worst Generation whose strength was clearly mediocre, yet he still talked big!

Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki coating around the Zanpakuto!

Haku said, "That's the importance of Haki!"

A terrifying slash was unleashed by Haku, the very attack Haku had created.

The Ice Continent, used to fight Shanks, was cleaved in two by Haku!

However, the power of this attack did not stop!

While Kid was still thinking about how to deal Kid Red-Haired in the distance, he saw that Haki slash.

Chop off his left hand at the root!

Kid's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes wide open, filled with a mixture of disbelief and excruciating pain.

Blood gushed from the severed wound on his left hand, staining the surrounding seawater and his clothes red. The Pirates around him cried out in alarm and retreated hastily, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire of this sudden turn of events.

"What... what kind of power is this?!" Kid gritted his teeth, his voice trembling with Pain, his eyes filled with both anger and fear as he looked into the distance.

Haku gently sheathed his Zanpakuto, his gaze calm and profound, as if the earth-shattering attack just moments before was merely a trivial matter for him. "This is the power of Haki."

Everyone stared wide-eyed!

Because of Haku's slash, the entire sea surface was cleaved in two.

Haku got back to the point. "I think Zoro, you should know how the Black Blade is formed by now!"

Zoro nodded and said, "Hawk Eyes once said that any sword has the potential to become Black Blade. The only difference is whether the user has the ability to forge their own sword into Black Blade."

To forge Black Blade requires long-term training, and most importantly, the ability to hone and refine the blade through repeated battles.

The world's first Black Blade was forged hundreds of years ago. At that time, Wano Country had not yet closed its doors, so many Pirates were able to enter. However, most of those who came were plunderers. The Great Swordsman Ryuma defeated all the invaders with Shusui, and legend has it that he even slew a flying dragon. Shusui was honed into Black Blade during this process.

Haku nodded approvingly!

He said, "Therefore, the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords are basically all Black Blade that have been gradually imbued with Armament Haki by their Master! Basically, each of the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords' Master left their own Haki on their swords!"

"Is it my own Haki?" Zoro.

He suddenly thought of the Enma in his hand and said, "So you said Enma has always been Oden's weapon, do you mean that once I replace the Haki within Enma with my own, then it will become a sword uniquely mine?"

Haku said jokingly, "It won't be easy for you to replace the Haki in Enma's sword with your own, after all, that sword is almost Twelve Supreme Grade Blades. It's a pity, if only that sword had stayed in Oden's hands for a while longer..."

Zoro was slightly taken aback!

He adopted a humble and inquisitive attitude, asking, "How can I upgrade the three swords in my hands to the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords?"

Regarding Zoro's attitude, Haku bluntly stated, "It's simple! Just infuse your Conqueror's Haki into your Armament Haki at the same time!"

Zoro nodded thoughtfully.

Sanji, seeing Zoro nod, exclaimed in surprise, "What! You've Awakening Conqueror's Haki too?!"

Zoro, without looking to the side, said, "Didn't you know I already unleashed Conqueror's Haki when Haku was fighting Red-Haired?"

Sanji raised an eyebrow at his very distinctive curly eyebrows!

He remembered that he had been trying to curry favor with Zoro back then, which is why he wasn't on the deck when Zoro unleashed his Haki!

Haku leaned back in her chair and said, "Forging a Twelve Supreme Grade Blades is no easy feat! Besides, you already have three weapons! How much Haki can you possibly distribute among those three weapons?"

"You must know that Ace in the hands of the Pirate King, Yoru in the hands of Hawk Eyes, and Murakumogiri in the hands of Whitebeard —these are all supreme, unparalleled swords, crafted with the twelve secret techniques. These top-tier warriors dedicated their entire lives to fighting and striving, forging each unique weapon!"

Zoro's expression froze, but he wanted to become the World's Greatest Swordsman. He had to take this step!

Moreover, the three swords he carries will accompany him as he stands at the pinnacle of the world.

Therefore, he must hone the three swords in his hand to their full potential before he can stand on Hawk Eyes again!

"So Haki is really that important!"

Luffy, unusually thoughtful, raised his Devil Fruit to its Awakening state.

I thought my skills were about to reach a plateau!

Now, Haku has shown Luffy a broad road ahead!

How far he goes from here is entirely up to him.

Haku glanced at Luffy and said, "There aren't many people in your family who aren't Haki in Haki!"

"Especially the old man, he almost destroyed my Bankai back then!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity. He turned to look at Haku and laughed, "Haha, hearing you say that, I have a new understanding of Grandpa's strength. However, Haku, your strength is also unfathomable. It sounds like even my grandfather was almost no match for you."

Haku flinched slightly upon hearing this, then waved her hand and said, "That's all in the past, and your grandfather's strength is far more than that."

Of course, Haku wouldn't tell Luffy the truth: when he activated his Bankai, he was actually completely destroyed by Garp!

At that time, Garp was already entering his twilight years, and his physical strength was declining!

But the world is designed so that strength is not affected by age!

Otherwise, why would the World Government keep Sengoku and Garp in the Navy to teach new recruits even after they left?

Keep in mind, even though these two old guys are retired...

His actual strength is definitely enough to easily defeat most people!

Haku continued, "Ultimately, your family, each of you, is growing in your own way. Whether it's your Devil Fruit Awakening or the old man's attempt to smash the heads of a certain Happo Navy, it's all about the ultimate exploration of power."
