An Attack

"... And then, both Sirius and I were put on the wanted list!"

At the dinner table, Yamato be enjoying himself, but perhaps feeling a bit thirsty, he picked up his water glass and took a sip.

"Amazing!"

Page One had wanted posters for Sirius and Yamato laid out in front of him. His eyes gleamed as he scanned the two posters back and forth, mainly focusing on Sirius's.

"As expected of the eldest brother! He actually played a crucial role in such a war!"

Pay-tan looked up at Sirius with immense admiration, "He's already got a bounty on his first voyage, and such a high one at that!"

"What about me? What about me!"

Yamato leaned closer, pointing at himself.

"The eldest sister is amazing too!"

Page One gave a thumbs up.

Yamato chuckled.

"I've already told you, Pay-tan! You're not allowed to call him 'Big Brother' or her 'Big Sister'!" Only Little Ulti kept repeating the same old routine.

After playing around for a while, Ulti said solemnly, "So, next we're going to fight that Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Whitebeard? Is that guy really that powerful?"

Page One asked with some curiosity, "Is he even stronger than Boss Kaido?"

"That man is known as the strongest," Black Maria said.

"The strongest?"

Page One still young, but upon hearing this title, he felt a heavy pressure weighing on his heart.

"In short, this will be a much fiercer war than any of the wars you've fought before, right?"

Ulti slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Then it's time for Lord Ulti to shine!"

"Fool!"

Sirius rolled his eyes. "This isn't a battle a brat like you can participate in."

A brat who doesn't even Haki wants to participate in the battle between the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates? Isn't that just courting death?

Seeing that Ulti still looked unconvinced, Sirius added, "Your task is to protect Pay-tan properly."

"Snort."

Ulti gave a soft hum, but ultimately said nothing.

The day after returning to Onigashima, Orochi arrived, accompanied by ninjas and samurai who guarded him. Upon arriving at Onigashima, he hurriedly shouted and yelled...

"Kaido! What's going on?! Why is Whitebeard here?!"

The Orochi was trembling all over, and its forehead was covered in sweat.

It was clear that he was terrified; after taking only a couple of steps, his body went limp and he rolled on the ground for a while, his crown falling off his head.

Of course he was afraid.

Although Wano Country is closed off from the world, this does not mean that Orochi is completely unaware of the outside world.

On the contrary, this man had been making deals with the government and was extremely knowledgeable about the situation overseas.

He knew all too well what the name Whitebeard meant.

That was the most powerful man in all of the Blue Sea, and he commanded the strongest pirate crew in the entire Blue Sea!

That man valued his family most!

Coincidentally, he and Kaido had just killed a member of Whitebeard's family who was important to him.

The Orochi practically tumbled and crawled into the building on Onigashima.

Sirius and his companions were fishing by the sea when they watched the Orochi cry out in agony.

"So Sirius,"

Yamato sat opposite Sirius with a curious expression, resting his chin on his hands like a flower bud. "Have you made any progress in your training?"

Sirius held a fishing rod in his left hand, while his right hand, shrouded in darkness, gently tapped the ground beside him—a perfect blend of fishing and spiritual practice.

"I have no clue."

I've been practicing Flowing Armament Haki for several days now, but I haven't made any progress.

Wang Luffy mastered it in just a few days, and even improved upon it, so why can't I do it?

Sirius felt a little heartbroken.

Is this the difference between a person who is destined for success and one who is destined for greatness?

"So, what exactly is spiritual practice?"

Jack turned around. "Breaking rocks?"

"More advanced Armament Haki techniques might be quite powerful."

Sirius casually said, "Let the Haki flow; you can try it too."

The flowing Armament Haki can be projected outwards, becoming a truly invisible shield. This is how Kizaru previously made it impossible for himself to bite down. Summit War, the Three Admirals simply joined forces to create a massive shield covering an area of tens or even hundreds of meters around them in order to withstand Whitebeard's shockwave.

It can also be directly transformed into attack power, allowing you to unleash shockwaves with your bare hands, or even wrap it around weapons, making it far more powerful than hardening.

If all my good friends can learn this, their skills will definitely improve even further.

"Flow?"

Jack paused for a moment, then raised his right hand and hardened it with his Haki. "Isn't this just flowing Haki into my hand?"

"Completely different,"

Sirius shook his head. "You're just gathering your Haki."

Flow, as the name suggests, means making the Haki ripple like water, rather than fixing Haki in place like it's wrapped or hardened.

Sirius guessed that this was probably related to willpower.

Simply wrapping or hardening doesn't provide enough control over the Haki; it's simply impossible to achieve precise control.

To truly activate Haki, one probably needs to integrate it further into their own will, ultimately reaching a point where Armament Haki becomes second nature to them.

Sirius this conjecture.

Internal Destruction goes a step further, refining the Haki and giving it the ability to penetrate the interior of objects.

If this conjecture is true, then is the Conqueror's Haki Infusion similar?

Isn't the first step in mastering Conqueror's Haki precisely controlling the target of your attack?

Entanglement, is probably similar to Armament Haki training, using willpower to control Conqueror's Haki?

If that's really the case, then it's somewhat understandable why the Straw Hat Kid was able to learn Haki Coating in the blink of an eye.

So, what exactly is the Udon's prison, this magical training ground? Does it offer a bonus to AFK (away from keyboard) training experience?

"Flowing Armament Haki? That feels amazing!"

Yamato rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists, and said, "Alright, I'll train too!"

The training lasted for five days.

Of course, there were no results from the cultivation during these five days.

Sirius could only blame himself for not getting enough blows. Didn't Teacher Rayleigh say that Haki grows stronger with each battle against a powerful enemy?

I just don't know if I'll have another chance to be beaten.

Because, it's the sixth day.

"They're here!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates have appeared! They're very close to Wano Country! They're coming from the direction of Ringo!" Teacher Queen shouted.

"Hehehehe! Is it finally here?"

Teacher Kaido laughed heartily, his body expanding instantly into a gigantic Azure Dragon that soared into the sky. "Then, let's go and meet the enemy who has come from afar! Don't let them feel lonely!"

And so, the war was about to begin.
