Teaching, Farewell Golden Lion
"Let Uranus learn Haki?"
Shanks was indeed taken aback by Sirius. "Sirius, are you serious?"
What a brilliant idea!
Not only Shanks, but the Red-Haired Pirates' executives were also completely baffled, unable to understand what Sirius was talking about.
When it comes to Haki presence, isn't that something exclusively human?
But--
"That sounds interesting!"
Mosuo, the Red-Haired man, suddenly chuckled. "If Uranus learns Haki, wouldn't he be invincible?"
A fully mature Uranus possesses not only the power to control celestial phenomena, but also unparalleled physical strength.
It would be such a waste not to use such a powerful body to fight dust... no, I mean, not to learn Haki.
"But can Uranus really learn it?"
The Red-Haired asked, somewhat puzzled.
Because there has never been such a precedent before. When it comes to Haki, it has always been a power mastered by humans. When has it ever been learned by those strange creatures on the sea?
How will you know it can't be done if you don't try?
Sirius chuckled softly.
He once taught Laboon and the Alabasta's Kung Fu Dugong how to use them in Haki way.
While it's unclear whether they've mastered it yet, one thing is certain: in the original work, the Kung Fu Dugong did indeed acquire Haki.
If even those little guys can do it, there's no reason why Uranus, who's considered Ancient Weapon, can't.
"Good!"
Red-Haired Shanks' spirits immediately lifted. He waved his remaining arm and shouted, "Then let's give it a try, Uranus! Are you ready?!"
If the Uranus can truly Haki, then he will certainly be able to play a more important role in the upcoming battle.
This is what both Shanks and Sirius want to see.
"Hold head high!"
Uranus, who had just grown half a year older under Shinobu's power, roared with his head raised, sounding quite willing.
Why would he refuse the opportunity to become stronger?
"Oh! Let's begin then, the Uranus's Haki Training!"
Yamato cheered with joy, Sirius glanced at her, wondering what she was so happy about.
A little later, in the sky.
"Uranus! You've memorized all the methods of cultivation, haven't you?"
Using his armor, Sirius floated in the sky, with the Uranus, whose size had now exceeded a thousand meters, in front of him.
The enormous monster nodded heavily.
Just now, Red-Haired had explained both of the Haki training methods to him. As an undisputed master of Haki, Red-Haired is not only skilled in combat, but also has a lot of experience in teaching.
Once you know how to master it, all that's left is practice.
"Very good."
Sirius nodded with satisfaction. "Then, I'll be your sparring partner from now on!"
He recalled the time on Onigashima when they were learning Haki; back then, Teacher King never showed any mercy.
This is how Haki cultivation should be done.
Through the dual trials of mind and body, willpower and physical strength converge, unleashing a miraculous power!
Even now, looking at the entire world, those qualified to be Uranus's sparring partner can be counted on three fingers.
Sirius was, of course, one of them.
"Alright, here we go."
Sirius smiled slightly.
Uranus gave a soft growl, signaling, "Bring it on!"
Then Sirius let it go.
Like a real Inazuma, it struck Uranus on the forehead in an instant.
"So fast!"
Ben Beckman exclaimed in surprise, "I can't see it at all!"
The dark energy swirling around his legs caused Uranus's scales to shatter.
The Uranus's massive body trembled violently before he was sent flying backward.
"Even though it's not the first time I've seen this, this scene is just too exaggerated!" Shanks, who was watching the battle from the Sirius, couldn't help but exclaim.
Eight years ago, when he first met Sirius, the kid was not as strong as him.
The stark contrast between before and after is truly poignant; time has passed, and so has everything.
"But only Sirius could quickly help Uranus learn Haki," he said with a smile.
The stronger Sirius becomes, the better, because he is a friend.
Sirius's attacks didn't stop there. He darted through the sky like Inazuma, each strike sending Uranus flying a distance.
Even someone as tough as Uranus was being beaten so badly he was screaming in agony.
"It reminds me of the time we learned Haki," Yamato said with a grin, looking at the scene. "It's so nostalgic!"
Back then, everyone was still very young, but just like now, we were happy every day.
While beating up the Uranus, Sirius also estimated the guy's current abilities.
Having grown six months older, my strength and physique have increased considerably, but not to the point of qualitative change.
It's better than before, but not by much.
I still don't understand what this guy's development cycle is like.
The cultivation didn't last long, because dawn was approaching, and even if they continued to cause trouble in the sky, they would likely be discovered by the people on the ground who were gradually waking up.
Wano Country has opened its doors to the world and is no longer the closed country it once was. People from other places now live in the country, and if their whereabouts are exposed, the government is likely to find out.
This is not the scene Sirius wanted to see.
However, the training had to continue. After resting for a while, Sirius took Uranus to another battlefield.
Universe.
Since air exists in the universe and its density is not low, Uranus was fully capable of flying into the universe using his wings.
"Is this... the universe?"
Red-Haired, who had traveled into space aboard the Sirius, was stunned by the magnificent sight.
"That's fantastic! That's absolutely fantastic!"
Everything in sight was vast and boundless!
Every glimmer of light before your eyes might just be a brand new world!
This is the universe!
This is an even better adventure destination than Blue Sea!
We must end that final war quickly, and then venture into the stars!
That was now the only thought in Red-Haired's mind.
The Haki cultivation continues.
Meanwhile, two days later, Shinobu, having recovered her strength, used her ability on Uranus again, making Uranus half a year older.
This guy's power has become even greater.
Haki's cultivation progressed smoothly, Uranus said he was gradually starting to get a feel for it.
It was at this moment that another friend arrived.
"Hahahaha! Sirius! I knew you were still alive!"
"It's been a long time, Senior Golden Lion."
