Your comprehension was heaven-defying. Through Zefa's explanation of the nature of Haki, combined with the experiences of your past and present lives, you comprehended an exclusive skill: Haki Supreme Art.
Haki Supreme Art: Infuse your consciousness into Haki, allowing you to freely control the Haki within your body at will, achieving microscopic control over Haki.
(Requires heaven-defying comprehension.)
Rosen's heart jolted violently.
Haki Supreme Art?
Infusing consciousness into Haki to achieve complete control at will.
Wasn't this the Haki version of Life Return?
He just didn't know how effective it was.
Thinking of this, Rosen's mind stirred, and his consciousness began sinking into his body. His vision first became utterly dark, but as his consciousness continued descending, he gradually saw a faint glow.
His consciousness followed the light. After drawing closer and closer, he finally saw three light orbs in the deepest part of his body, like light bulbs in the night.
One flowed like a tide.
One resembled black-red lightning.
One looked like a gigantic eye.
"Is this the Haki I was born with?"
"Wait."
"Three light orbs, Three Colors of Haki... So to speak, I possess Conqueror's Haki, something only one person among millions has?"
Rosen was overjoyed.
Although one could become a top-tier powerhouse of the seas without Conqueror's Haki—the Three Admirals were the best examples—only those with Conqueror's Haki could become part of that smallest group at the very pinnacle among countless top-tier powerhouses.
In other words, Becoming King.
Kings like Roger, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Shanks.
The qualifications to become king were innate. You either had them or you didn't; they could not be changed through later efforts.
And now, he possessed such qualifications too. Of course he was delighted.
"I'll know once I try."
Rosen suppressed his wild joy and infused his consciousness into the light orb that flowed like water.
The instant his consciousness fully entered the light orb, he not only understood what it represented, but also felt that he could manipulate it freely at will.
It was even more flexible than controlling his hands and feet.
As his thoughts raced, the light orb infused with his consciousness became like a dam with its floodgates opened, streams of light surging like a torrent toward every part of his body.
Meanwhile.
Zefa was still observing every student in the classroom.
Suddenly, his expression changed. As though he had sensed something, he sharply turned his head, his blade-like gaze fixing on a student seated in the back row.
"Rosen."
"A user of the Paramecia Weapon Fruit."
The moment Rosen's identity surfaced in Zefa's mind, his eyes widened as if he had witnessed something unimaginable.
Under his gaze, Rosen's body suddenly bloomed with purple light, which then formed streams of purple radiance like purple dragons winding around every part of his body.
Then.
A metallic clang rang out.
The students in the classroom were startled and looked around toward the sound.
Zefa's brows twitched violently.
"How is that possible?"
"Damn it."
"Just like Teacher Zefa's demonstration earlier, has he already mastered Armament Haki?"
"More than that. Teacher Zefa only coated his hand in Haki, but he has already achieved Full Body Hardening."
"How long has it been?"
"Could he have learned Armament Haki long ago?"
Seeing Rosen's skin turn as black as iron, radiating an indestructible aura, Gion and Tokikake, the two future Admiral Candidates, as well as Smoker, who had little interest in Haki, all revealed expressions of disbelief.
"I've only just found a clue."
"Even if things go smoothly, it'll probably take me a day to master Armament Haki."
"This man... has he already reached this point?"
Gion stared deeply at Rosen, a trace of brilliance flashing through her beautiful eyes.
If you cannot find the book title, try searching for the author. It may have simply been renamed!
Who said women were inferior to men?
Since childhood, she had aspired to become the first female Admiral in Marine Headquarters history. In addition, Tsuru, who was like an older sister to her, and the legendary Marine hero Garp had all praised her, saying she possessed not only an Admiral's height but also an Admiral's aptitude.
This had made her standards extremely high.
Unless they were Admiral-level Marines or Marines with an Admiral's Bearing, ordinary people could hardly catch her eye.
"I never expected that besides Tokikake, there would be someone like this in our class."
"He's actually far ahead of both Tokikake and me."
"Sister Tsuru and Vice Admiral Garp both praised me for having an Admiral's Bearing. If that's true, then what is he?"
A stormy sea rose within Gion's heart.
"This young man is incredible!"
"I haven't even found my Haki yet, but you've already achieved Coating Hardening—and Full Body Hardening at that."
"Tsk, tsk, truly impressive!"
Tokikake directly gave Rosen a thumbs-up. There was not the slightest jealousy in his tone, only admiration.
"Those three light orbs really do represent the three types of Haki."
"In that case, the remaining two must be Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki."
Faced with Tokikake's praise, Rosen merely nodded at him, maintaining an unruffled demeanor.
After comprehending two exclusive skills in succession—Thousand Cherry Blossoms and Haki Supreme Art—especially after awakening Armament Haki, his mentality had gradually changed.
He was no longer as easily startled as he had been when he had first crossed over.
Instead, he was thinking about the other two types of Haki.
"Have you learned Haki before?"
At this moment.
Zefa walked over to Rosen.
"The name Haki was only just told to me by Teacher Zefa."
Hearing this, Rosen temporarily put away his thoughts.
"Remarkable."
Zefa had been observing Rosen all along. He had even activated Observation Haki to sense the changes in the other's emotions and state of mind.
He could basically confirm that the student before him was indeed encountering Haki for the first time.
"I thought Borsalino, Sakazuki, and Kuzan were already outstanding enough. I never expected someone even more impressive."
"Back then, the three of them also took a full day to master Armament Haki's Coating Hardening."
"But you took half an hour."
A trace of astonishment entered Zefa's voice.
Since retiring and becoming Head Instructor, he had seen countless geniuses.
There had even been more than three monsters with an Admiral's Bearing.
But now, he discovered that someone could actually surpass the records set by the Three Admirals in their youth. How could he not be shocked?
"Better than the three Admiral Candidates were back then?"
"Isn't that a monster?"
"He already is a monster!"
"Didn't you hear? When Mr. Sakazuki and the others were at Navy School, they also took a day to master Armament Haki's Coating Hardening. But this guy? Half an hour!"
"If he isn't a monster, how could he accomplish something so inconceivable?"
Hearing Zefa say that Rosen's results actually surpassed those of the Three Admirals in their youth immediately caused a huge uproar in the classroom.
"Quiet."
"What you should be doing is not being amazed by others, but focusing on yourselves."
"Remember, Haki is an External Manifestation of willpower. Therefore, unwavering belief is the foundation of Haki."
Seeing the classroom becoming somewhat noisy, Zefa glared with tiger-like eyes, and all the students immediately shut their mouths. Yet when they looked at Rosen, their eyes remained filled with shock.
Know it.
Find it.
Use it.
Other than Gion and Tokikake, everyone was still at the stage of merely knowing about Haki.
But Rosen?
He had already crossed the two stages of knowing Haki and finding Haki, reaching the realm of using Haki.
It was like everyone enrolling in first grade together. I had only just opened a first-grade textbook, while you had already opened a senior-year textbook.
How could they not be shaken?
