Observation Kill's Mystery! Neptune's Resolve!

Observation Kill.

The abilities Shanks possesses in the original work.

Although its name is "Observation Kill," its actual ability is not to disable the opponent's Observation Haki.

Instead, he concealed his presence, preventing his opponent from discerning his future through Observation Haki.

Honestly, this ability is pretty useless.

After all, how many people on the high seas possess Observation Haki Future Sight?

Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the time, this move is useless.

But now, Whitebeard used this technique to deliver a heavy blow to Ian.

He chopped Ian down to 2.5 Ian with a single strike.

But.

"Tsk."

Whitebeard clicked his tongue. "A disgusting ability."

The two pieces of Ian's body that had been cleaved away had transformed into fire crows, which then gathered together in the sky and reformed into the shape of Ian.

"Pops, after he enters his fire form, all attacks have no effect on him!"

Marco cautioned, "Unlike the Elementalization of Logia, in that state, he no longer has a physical form, so even Haki has no effect on him!"

"I suspect that only extinguishing the flames that make up his body can harm him!"

But how do we extinguish that guy's flames?

The golden flames were already ridiculously hot; water couldn't even get close before it was evaporated.

Not to mention, he can transform into a red flame state with the power to destroy everything at any time.

"It was so close, Whitebeard- senpai."

Ian, carrying his Flame Sword, smiled and said, "But unfortunately, I'm quite good at saving my life."

Although his ability to Future Sight was sealed by Whitebeard's Observation Kill, he can still use his normal Observation Haki normally.

Ian was still able to react to Whitebeard's attack at the last second and then enter the Divine Phoenix form.

If the flames of destruction are the strongest spear, then the Phoenix form is the strongest shield.

Having both abilities activated simultaneously makes one invincible.

"But is that the legendary 'Observation Kill'?"

Ian chuckled and said, "How despicable, Whitebeard! You clearly know how to use this technique, but you haven't used it all along, just to lower my guard and then launch a surprise attack, right?"

I never expected this! I thought only Teacher Kai was the type who appeared rough and tough on the outside but secretly liked to scheme and plot. Turns out, Whitebeard- senpai, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're into this kind of thing too?

"Mean?"

Whitebeard simply sneered, "Are you talking about being despicable with a pirate?"

Ian just smiled and didn't refute it.

However, it's surprising that Whitebeard also Observation Kill technique.

Even Teacher Kai doesn't know this move, let alone the embarrassing Aunt Linlin.

He truly deserves to be one of only two gold medalists on the high seas, a man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Pirate King.

A true all-rounder, with every aspect of its configuration maxed out.

The only weakness is that it doesn't have the physique of a top-tier monster, and it will suffer from injuries and illnesses as it gets older.

Ian, filled with curiosity, asked, "So, Whitebeard- senpai, could you please enlighten me? What exactly is the principle behind the Observation Kill?"

It wasn't mentioned at all in the original work; even Red-Haired only had this ability in his character design, but it was never shown.

Ian had no idea whether this move was due to Conqueror's Haki or another powerful technique of Observation Haki.

"Want to know?"

Whitebeard- senpai has approached again, "Then let's experience it for ourselves!"

"I see, then let's experience it together."

Ian smiled.

Engaging in fierce battles with powerful enemies is always the quickest way to enhance one's Haki.

In the next instant, Ian's body swelled up and transformed into a giant Golden Flying Dragon.

Then.

The Winged Dragon of Ra transforms into its combat form!

With the power of Return to Life activated, the dragon gradually transformed into a giant dragon warrior!

After fully transforming into his beast form, sixteen-year-old Ian's beast form was already well over one hundred meters long.

Even though Return to Life and body shape was adjusted, making the body and limbs thicker and thus shrinking the size, Ian's height was still about 80 or 90 meters!

In this state, he only needs to flap his wings to create a raging wind!

How could that be?

Below, the Moby Dick was tossed about by the gale-force winds brought by Ian. Teach exclaimed, "How many forms does this thing have?!"

What exactly is Ian's ability?!

"Here comes the Whitebeard- senpai!"

Ian's loud laughter exploded in the sky like thunder.

Flames erupted from his joints, allowing him to maintain considerable agility despite his enormous size.

The crimson greatsword in his hand suddenly slashed down.

The agility of the beast form is greatly reduced compared to the beastman form, but as compensation, Ian's strength in this form is far greater than that in the human form!

Whitebeard's expression changed slightly, "Marco!"

Marco instantly understood Whitebeard's meaning, flapped his wings, and dodged to the side to create distance.

Ian's sword missed its mark.

Even so, the wind pressure from the falling giant sword transformed into a massive, invisible slash that tore through the sky and cleaved a huge crack in the sea below.

"Why are you hiding, Whitebeard- senpai!"

Ian laughed, drawing his sword and continuing to slash. "Did you foresee some ominous future?"

The Whitebeard's expression darkened slightly.

He did indeed foresee a bleak future.

The brat's power has increased significantly, and it's no longer possible to block his attacks as before.

Ian knew from Whitebeard's reaction that he had been right.

To put it somewhat arrogantly, my strength in this state is even greater than Aunt Linlin's.

Even in this state, during the previous Battle of Hachinosu Island, I would probably have won against Aunt Linlin.

If Aunt Linlin didn't have a decisive move to win the game.

After all, the weakness of this form is agility, Aunt Linlin has absolutely no agility.

While slashing with his sword, Ian used his Observation Haki to lock onto Whitebeard, carefully observing the abnormality on his body.

First, we need to figure out what exactly stopped him from prying into Whitebeard's future.

Whitebeard's counterattack was imminent.

At this point, even if Ian tried to compensate with fire, his sluggishness was inevitable.

Although Marco's speed couldn't match Ian's in his beast form, it was definitely not slow. He quickly seized an opening in Ian's defenses and closed in, while Whitebeard slashed Ian in the chest with his sword.

But before he could land a solid blow, Whitebeard roared, "Marco, step back!"

Marco immediately flapped his wings and flew backward.

At the same time, the Shockwave that burst from Whitebeard's blade pierced Ian's chest, leaving him with a huge hole.

It's just a pity that it was Ian's body, which had turned into flames, that was pierced.

"It's useless."

Ian swung his sword down again with a backhand motion.

While it's true that this state is weak in agility, that doesn't mean your attacks will be effective.

Whitebeard glared at him, "Kid!! Don't be so arrogant!!"

Buzz!

The sky suddenly began to wail!

Everything began to vibrate—the air, the clouds, the sea, even Ian's body!

"Pops's going to go all out!!"

Onboard the Moby Dick, Vista shouted, "We'll be affected! Everyone, protect yourselves!!"

"Ugh!!"

Ian's eyes widened; everything before him was jumping and blurring, as if even the light itself was distorted. "Awakening?"

Yes.

Of course, Whitebeard couldn't have been unaware of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's Awakening!

"The Heaven and Earth Shock!!"

Whitebeard slammed his right hand down on Ian.

The tremors in the sky suddenly intensified, and Ian felt as if the air itself was being cut by knives.

Is this resonance?

Moreover, when the powerful Shockwave blasted from Whitebeard's fist roared in, the intensity of the surrounding vibrations suddenly increased dramatically!

The Shockwave were significantly amplified, further stimulating environmental resonance.

Ian felt he could no longer even fly; the air was boiling.

"That's really exaggerated!"

Ian his sword.

He could feel it; he was wielding a sword in mercury! The violently vibrating air was desperately trying to stop his movements.

Even so, the Sword of Destruction still cleaved through the surging Shockwave!

However, Ian's hands were trembling uncontrollably, and as the Shockwave approached, his body began to shake violently!

What a terrifying ability!

If this were on the ground, Whitebeard could easily create a devastating earthquake in the blink of an eye by simply stomping his foot, right?

Snap!

Ian didn't even bother using his Haki to resist the resonance; he was directly blasted into flames.

So, is the Awakening of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit resonance?

This resonance not only amplifies Whitebeard's shockwave attack, but the shockwave attack also amplifies the amplitude of the resonance.

Why does it look like a nesting doll?

But it didn't matter anymore. At this point, Ian had fully entered the Divine Phoenix state and had even reverted to his orc form.

No matter how violently the Air Quake now, it cannot shake him in the slightest.

The flames that made up his body trembled and flickered, yet they still could not be extinguished.

Still not working?

The Whitebeard gritted his teeth.

He seemed to shatter the sky, yet he still couldn't reach Ian.

Is this bastard's ability truly invincible?

Ian was still using his Observation Haki to lock onto Whitebeard.

He continues to try to Future Sight, and then continues to fail.

Through these repeated failures, he kept trying to figure out what Whitebeard had used to stop his spying.

The final conclusion is: Conqueror's Haki.

The essence of Observation Haki is sensing the other person's aura.

Even though Observation Haki Future Sight has become somewhat fantastical, it still doesn't deviate from this fundamental principle.

What Whitebeard was doing at that moment was probably using Conqueror's Haki to conceal his aura.

That should be right, right?

Ian speculated.

It must be a very precise technique, after all, Conqueror's Haki is notoriously difficult to control.

"Bad weather!"

Whitebeard grabbed the air with both hands and pulled down with all his might.

In an instant, the Air Quake, and everything was in a state of flux.

Ian's body was constantly being twisted, sometimes flattened, sometimes stretched into a line.

However, it still doesn't work.

Ian simply pondered quietly.

I understand a little better now.

Using Conqueror's Haki to disrupt one's own aura and make the overall aura disharmonious will naturally render the ability to Future Sight based on sensing auras invalid.

The reason is that when he used his Observation Haki to observe Whitebeard, his aura became somewhat disordered.

So, should I use Conqueror's Haki on myself?

Before they knew it, the surroundings had quieted down, except for a loud shattering sound coming from overhead.

Ian looked up, and the air above him shattered completely, leaving only a series of dense cracks in the sky.

"Heaven's Wrath!!"

Whitebeard pressed his hands down.

The next moment, the Shockwave came crashing down from above.

"Oh?"

Ian raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to blow me into the sea? Good idea."

It's just a pity that the seawater still can't do anything to me.

Ian smiled, the flames around him turned crimson, the tremors that had been bothering him vanished abruptly, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Then, the Shockwave from the sky passed through him, or rather, he passed through the Shockwave.

In short, Ian remained where he was, while the massive Shockwave had penetrated the sea below, bringing with it earth-shattering waves.

Ian stared silently at the Whitebeard.

"Hateful!!"

Even the Whitebeard senior's crescent-shaped beard was trembling.

We are powerless!

This brat was right in front of him! But he couldn't do anything about it!

"That's enough for today, Whitebeard- senpai."

Ian said calmly, "Don't forget our agreement. If Neptune and his wife, and Fish-Man Island, are in danger, remember to act together."

Defeating Whitebeard won't be easy.

The Awakening Tremor-Tremor Fruit is quite troublesome.

"Well then, goodbye."

Ian smiled one last time, and the next moment, he transformed into a fiery meteor and shot into the sky.

All that remained was a gritted-teeth Whitebeard staring intently at his departing figure.

On the Moby Dick.

"Pops, is there nothing you can do about him?"

"It's so weak, "Vista said.

He's only sixteen.

"It's so quiet, "Teach said quietly.

In an instant, everyone's expression changed on the deck.

How strong will Ian become in a few years?

Teach gazed in the direction Ian had gone, wondering if it was time to switch sides.

Pops is getting old, but Ian hasn't even fully matured yet.

Mary Geoise was on its way home when Ian embarked on his journey.

The Neptune walked into a corridor in Pangu City.

"Are you really going to do this, Neptune?"

Otohime lowered her voice, somewhat reluctantly, "I don't think this is a good idea."

"You know the government's attitude towards us now, Otohime,"

Neptune said softly, "Only Ian can change all this. We should help him as much as we can. Isn't that all we can do? Besides, isn't this what you've always wanted?"

"However, winning over the King who is dissatisfied with the government,"

Otohime whispered, "Can we really do something like this?"

"Of course we can do it!"

Neptune looked solemnly at his wife, "Otohime, your abilities were perhaps born for this very moment!"

"You can easily discern what other people are thinking, can't you?"

Neptune took a deep breath and clenched his fist, as if this action alone gave him courage. "You can even influence other people's thoughts."

Otohime was slightly taken aback.

She has a natural ability to sense other people's emotions!

They even forcibly transmit their emotions to others, thereby changing their minds!

Otohime was suddenly startled. "Was it really necessary to go this far? Neptune! Influencing other people's thoughts and all that..."

She suddenly felt that her husband was a stranger.

Neptune has always been a very kind and benevolent person.

"I just,"

Neptune hesitated for a moment, but his tone quickly hardened. "I don't want the children of Fish-Man Island to face the Celestial Dragons."

The fear of that moment clung to Neptune like a leech, compelling him to do something quickly.

What if one day, the children on the island, his children, encounter the Celestial Dragons?

Otohime paused slightly, then took her husband's hand.

She, being the most empathetic, sensed her husband's fear and longing.

He feared all of this, and he longed to change it all.

"Besides, you can't force someone else to change their mind, can you?"

Neptune whispered, "We're just drawing out the thoughts of those who are dissatisfied with the government."

The confusion on Otohime's face gradually faded.

What she yearns for is peaceful coexistence with human society.

However, the World Government only treated Fish-Man Island as slaves.

Therefore, she had no choice but to seek the support of other humans.

"I see!"

The already passionate Her Highness the Queen her eyes.

"Um!"

Neptune nodded emphatically.

Soon, the couple arrived outside a room.

Neptune knocked carefully on the door.

Soon, the door opened, revealing a delighted face. "Neptune, are you alright?"

"Very good!"

Neptune smiled and said, "Cobra, didn't you say you'd introduce me to more friends? I can't wait!"
