"Make Haki widespread?"
Rayleigh raised an eyebrow.
"That's right."
Bright sat on a stool in front of the bar and said calmly, "There are only a few people on all of Fish-Man Island who can use Haki, so I was wondering whether we could start with the children and make Haki widespread throughout Fish-Man Island."
"Oh, you mean like Amazon Lily?"
Shakky, behind the bar, flicked ash from her cigarette. "Almost all the warriors in that country can use Haki."
"Exactly."
Bright nodded. "But I'm worried that Haki training might be too much of a burden for children, so I came to consult Rayleigh."
How had he learned Haki himself?
Getting beaten up, getting beaten up, and getting beaten up some more.
How could they treat children like that?
"The best way to learn Haki is, of course, through battle."
Rayleigh took a swig of alcohol and said casually, "Haki constantly grows stronger in battles against powerful enemies, but—"
Bright looked at him expectantly.
"At its core, Haki is power that naturally exists within living beings." Rayleigh wiped his mouth. "Battle and tempering are merely ways to draw that Haki out."
"If that's the case, then naturally there are gentler ways to guide it out."
"What methods?"
Bright was eager to know.
"I remember that Amazon Lily uses some kind of special meditation, right?"
Shakky recalled, "They use meditation to find the Haki hidden within their bodies."
"As for the World Government and the Marines," Rayleigh cut in, "the Six Powers seem to be used for that purpose."
"The Six Powers?"
Bright thought about it. In the original story, Jinbe did seem to say that Iron Body was Armament Haki. But obtaining the Six Powers would be difficult, so did that mean Amazon Lily's methods were the only option after
