Sharingan Version Observation Haki?

Hearing the voice, Austin, who was originally sitting on the bed, was the first to stand up excitedly and rushed towards the door.

On the contrary, Buggy had a bitter expression on his face.

He really didn't like arduous training. Anyway, there were plenty of masters on the ship, and he wasn't the main force when plundering treasure.

But seeing Austin and Shanks quickly rushing towards the stern, not wanting to be left behind, he still forced himself to calm down and followed: "Wait for me, you two!"

The three walked out of the cabin and headed towards the stern. Along the way, they could still see a few strong men who had drunk too much and passed out on the ground.

The three were already used to this kind of public urination and defecation, and they each found their weapons in the warehouse.

Buggy chose flying daggers, while Shanks preferred rapiers.

Austin, however, considered for a moment and picked up a flintlock pistol.

This was the result of his careful consideration.

Besides fitting his natural Observation Haki advantage and being suitable for being a Sixth, there was another point...

The path of swordsmanship was too crowded.

There was already Golden Lion, Roger, and Rayleigh, with Shanks and Hawk Eyes in the middle, and in the future, there would be the Three-Sword Style Liu Zoro...

Austin felt that the cost-effectiveness of standing out in the swordsmanship circle was still a bit low.

If he wanted to be the best, he had to be the World's Greatest, which would be worthy of his rare "heavenly hand" start. But on the path of a great swordsman, let alone whether he had the talent for swordsmanship, even if Austin himself went through all sorts of hardships and became the so-called World's Greatest Swordsman, he would probably be constantly chased and attacked by Hawk Eyes and Zoro.

Every day, he would hear: "Accept my challenge, I am the man who will become the World's Greatest Swordsman!"

It would be annoying to death.

So, it would be better to become the World's Greatest Gun Master!

After all, as a former Blue Star Person, Austin had a natural yearning for using firearms, and he also had innate Observation Haki.

Most importantly, this path was not crowded.

The renowned snipers in the future would be Yasopp, Usopp, Van Augur, and at most Ben Beckman. The path was niche and not crowded.

Austin felt he was not inferior to anyone.

Once he developed Conqueror's Haki Infusion, Observation Kill, or Future Sight, and bought some Seastone Bullets, maybe he couldn't take down a Four Emperors with one shot, but taking down an Emperor's First Mate with one shot wouldn't be too much, right? Shanks could also defeat thirty billion with one sword.

Once my divine skill is perfected and I have the strength of a Four Emperor, I'll travel the world and enjoy life, visiting all the famous scenes. When I'm old, I'll buy a few maids and get a small manor to live in.

My previous life was so miserable, like an ox or a horse. This life, I must live it to the fullest and enjoy it properly.

However, ideals are grand, but reality is harsh. Currently, I'm just a child who innately awakened Observation Haki and is slightly stronger than average.

Although Rayleigh is indeed a terrible teacher who misleads his students, it should be fine for building a foundation.

I'll make do with what I learn.

Next was Austin's first lesson after boarding the ship.

"Physical combat is the foundation of all combat styles. Whether you use a sword or your fists, even if you use a ranged weapon like a gun, you need powerful reaction speed and Haki to be invincible."

For the three little guys living in the New World, the word Haki wasn't exactly unfamiliar, so Rayleigh didn't explain it too much.

He glanced at the weapons each of them had chosen.

"Beyond physical combat, everyone pursues their own specialized combat style. So..." Rayleigh looked at them, took a sip of wine, "Tell me what you want to learn. If I know how, I can teach you my experience and techniques."

"I want to learn Swordsmanship!" Shanks was very focused from the start. Perhaps influenced by Roger and Rayleigh, he had a preference for the longsword.

"Swordsmanship?" Rayleigh smiled. "Then starting today, you'll chop five thousand times every day. First, learn the most basic way to hold a sword."

He then turned his gaze to Buggy. "A dagger is similar to a longsword. Start by practicing wielding it."

Finally, he looked at Austin, whose eyes were shining. Not knowing much about this child, Rayleigh asked him beforehand what he wanted to learn.

"Can I learn anything?"

"Of course. But if you want to learn Marksmanship, the ship's Sniper, Bitam, is a hundred percent accurate..."

"Then I want to learn Conqueror's Haki Infusion!"

"Pfft...!!!"

Austin's astonishing words made Rayleigh almost spit out a mouthful of wine five meters away.

After a while, he wiped his mouth and said irritably:

"Kid, I don't know where you heard that term, but such advanced techniques, not to mention anything else, at least require someone with the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki!"

The implication was that Austin might not even have Conqueror's Haki, so how could he infuse it?

However, Austin didn't care, holding onto the mindset of giving it a shot:

"Then... if I have Conqueror's Haki, will Uncle Rayleigh teach me?"

"Why not?"

Uncle Rayleigh casually agreed, thinking it was the ignorance of a child.

Their idle chat didn't last long before Austin and the other two began their most basic training.

Carrying a huge iron plate as weight, Austin did one-handed push-ups on the ground while reading a newspaper.

At the same time, he didn't forget to train his Observation Haki.

In his perception, Shanks was training his swordsmanship with sweat all over his face, his young face very serious.

Buggy was also training, but by deliberately slowing down his movements, it was clear the guy was slacking off.

"Shanks, it seems like his sword swings are getting sharper each time." After Austin finished his strength training, Shanks finally completed his daily sword-swinging training.

Could he be called a swordsmanship genius?

The progress was visible to the naked eye. Austin, like a sly fox, secretly observed Shanks' progress, mentally recording the techniques.

While Shanks was training his strength, Austin picked up the longsword Shanks had placed on the ground. Recalling the way Shanks exerted force and the airflow changes he perceived, he also began practicing his sword swings.

"What a greedy kid."

On the crow's nest, a long-haired strong man wearing small sunglasses watched Austin training diligently at the stern and said to the blonde fatty beside him, "He wants to learn guns and swords. If he comes to me to learn the axe, I won't teach him."

"Although I don't quite approve of a sniper playing with knives, he's a bit different," said Bitam, a sniper from the Roger Pirates and a master of Observation Haki. He could see something unusual.

"This kid Austin is stealing Shanks' hard work."

This was indeed the case.

The progress techniques that Shanks had summarized and mastered after five thousand swings were perfectly learned by Austin after just one thousand repetitions. This discovery surprised Austin immensely.

"Holy crap, Sharingan-version Observation Haki?"

The range of naturally awakened Observation Haki wasn't very wide. After years of Austin's diligent development, it was only a few dozen meters.

But Austin's Observation Haki was different from others. Although the meticulousness of his observation wasn't at a microscopic level, it was naturally maxed out.

No subtle changes or techniques escaped his eyes.

Therefore, besides raw strength, learning any skill was twice as effective with half the effort.
