Eat Well, and Watch the Three Colors of Haki Soar

"One meal starts at 150 jin of meat."

"And you call that seventy percent full?"

When Tokikake heard that Rosen had wolfed down over 150 jin of Sea King meat and still claimed he was only seventy percent full, he nearly choked.

His appetite was not small either. Every meal started at thirty jin of meat, but fifty jin was his limit. How could he compare to Rosen?

"No need to be surprised."

"What do you think supports the improvement of one's physique and Haki?"

"Combat and training both require enormous amounts of nutrition. Otherwise, you'll only train yourselves to death."

Zefa was unsurprised by this:

"As the intensity of your training and battles continues to increase in the future, your appetite will keep growing as well."

"Eating an entire Sea King in one meal might be a bit exaggerated by then, but a whole tiger would probably only be enough for you to snack on."

As a former Navy Admiral, even though he was old and rarely went to the front lines anymore, Zefa's Haki and physique were still there. His own appetite was not small either.

"Teacher Zefa."

"By your reasoning, once we graduate and go out on missions, won't we need to store hundreds of tons of meat on our warships?"

Tokikake could not help asking.

"It would be best to do so."

"Of course, it won't be a problem if you don't."

"The sea beneath our feet lacks nothing less than food. And the stronger the Sea King, the higher the nutritional value of its meat."

Zefa raised his foot and tapped the ground.

"Put it this way. If you ate ordinary beef, each of you would need at least a hundred jin per meal right now. Rosen would need three to five hundred jin of meat. But if you switch to Sea King meat, you won't need nearly that much."

"Take the meal you had today. It was made from the most ordinary and smallest Sea King, yet you only needed about one-third as much as you would of beef—twenty or thirty jin. As for Rosen, less than two hundred jin."

"If it's a medium or large Sea King, the nutritional value will be even higher, and you'll need to eat even less."

Zefa's words put Gion and Tokikake at ease.

Neither of them was a Devil Fruit user anyway. If they needed food, they could just dive into the sea and find anything they wanted.

"Sea Kings?"

Hearing this, Rosen was relieved as well.

Although he was a Devil Fruit user and could not go into the sea himself, he had plenty of ways to hunt Sea Kings.

With that thought, he turned his attention to the Three Colors of Haki within his body.

Although he had wolfed down nearly two hundred jin of meat in ten minutes, Rosen found that his stomach was only slightly swollen, like an ordinary person after a full meal. He was nowhere near bloated like a balloon.

More than that.

He could clearly feel his swollen stomach slowly shrinking at a gradual pace.

At the same time.

Three faint currents of heat surged toward three different places in his body.

Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Through massive amounts of eating, combined with the cultivation of Qi Body Origin Flow, the strength of your Three Colors of Haki has increased.

Armament Haki strength increased by 10%.

Observation Haki strength increased by 10%.

Conqueror's Haki strength increased by 5%.

After sensing the increase in his Three Colors of Haki, Rosen could not help smiling.

Eating.

Eating in large quantities.

And food with extremely high nutritional value at that.

This was the method by which the Qi Infants could cultivate on their own and bring immediate improvements to his Haki strength.

Though the gains were still not as great as those brought by combat, they were quite considerable.

After all, he could not fight every day, but he had to eat every day—at least three meals a day.

The gains from three meals, combined with the Three-Color Qi Infants cultivating Haki around the clock without interruption.

It could be said that.

Even if Rosen did not fight or undergo any kind of training, as long as he ate and slept every day, his Three Colors of Haki would still soar.

If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you can find it next time.

Compared to other monsters who could only improve their Haki through combat, this rate of growth was simply unparalleled.

"The three Qi Infants seem to have grown a little."

"Wait."

"Why do I feel like the Qi Infants are cultivating Haki faster?"

Through Haki Supreme Art, Rosen poured his consciousness into the Armament Haki within his body and could clearly see the changes in the Qi Infants.

After the earlier battle with Tokikake and Gion, plus the meal of Sea King meat he had just eaten, he discovered that the Qi Infants in all three dantians had grown a full circle larger than before.

Most importantly, after growing larger, the Qi Infants' speed of cultivating Haki on their own had actually become faster.

If their cultivation speed had previously been Haki +1 per second, it was now Haki +1.5 per second.

It did not even seem like double the amount, but one had to remember that Qi Infants did not need sleep and could cultivate without interruption twenty-four hours a day.

That meant Rosen's Three Colors of Haki had gone from Haki +1 per second to Haki +1.5 per second.

It did not need years and months. In a single day, the improvement would already be enormous.

"The stronger the Haki, the faster the Qi Infants cultivate?"

"It seems I'll have to eat properly in the future, and every meal has to be meat made from Sea Kings."

"That way, while others need to risk their lives to improve their Haki, I only need to eat properly for my Haki strength to soar."

Rosen was immensely satisfied as he sensed the changes in the Three-Color Qi Infants.

This was the proper way to use the Three Colors of Haki.

"Tell me."

"What did you gain from that exchange just now?"

"Or rather, what do you think is your greatest shortcoming?"

After seeing that Rosen and the other two had eaten and drunk their fill, Zefa brought them to his office.

He was letting them rest properly, while also helping them review the battle and lay the groundwork for the upcoming lessons.

"Gion, you go first."

Zefa looked at Gion.

"Armament Haki techniques."

"If I knew Flowing Emission, then when Rosen attacked me, I could release my Haki first. Before his Armament Haki touched my body, I could neutralize most of his attack from a distance. That way, I would not have been knocked down in a single hit."

"Of course, Observation Haki is the most important thing."

After a brief moment of thought, Gion voiced her opinion:

"Rosen could face both Tokikake and me at once while holding the absolute upper hand because of his Observation Haki."

"He could predict his enemies' moves and prepare in advance. For example, he first used Conqueror's Haki to disrupt Tokikake's and my attack rhythm, then seized that fleeting timing difference to drive me back first. Then, with the Still Blood Armor and the three Armament Haki techniques of hardening and coating that he had prepared in advance, he blocked Tokikake's attack. Finally, he used a kick enhanced with Conqueror's Haki Coating to finish Tokikake in one strike and end the battle."

"The reason Tokikake and I were defeated so miserably by one punch and one kick from Rosen was that not knowing Observation Haki accounted for at least half of it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tokikake nodded in agreement.

"Teacher Zefa."

"Let's not even talk about Armament Haki techniques. If Gion and I knew Observation Haki, we definitely would not have lost so badly."

"If we had fought a little longer, even making Young Man Rosen take a few more punches would have been no problem at all."

Tokikake said unwillingly, rubbing his chin.

While eating earlier, he had constantly been replaying the battle with Rosen in his mind.

The gap in Strength's was inevitable, but it had been two against one, and everyone had only just begun learning Haki. They should not have been defeated by a single punch and kick.

"Not bad."

"Observation Haki is your greatest weakness at this stage."

"So this afternoon, you will train Observation Haki. I have already arranged a training ground for you. Someone will take you there when the time comes."

Zefa's words made Gion's and Tokikake's eyes light up.

Seeing this, Rosen secretly nodded.

A great teacher was indeed a great teacher.

It looked as though he was having Gion and Tokikake summarize their gains, but he had actually identified their weaknesses long ago and arranged their upcoming lessons in advance.

"Your turn."

"Rosen."

After arranging Gion's and Tokikake's afternoon lessons, Zefa turned his gaze to Rosen.
