Fat Sheep Enters the Arena

As she walked back, the image of Rayleigh using Haki flashed through her mind.

Especially the changes in his eyes.

That sharpness was completely unlike that of an old man who spent his days drinking and talking nonsense.

"Even if his swordsmanship doesn't reach Roger's peak level, it shouldn't be too far off... He could split a mountain in two with a single strike, or even an island," Oboro thought to himself.

Admittedly, Rayleigh's strength has definitely declined significantly, but looking at the portrayal and description of these characters' combat abilities in the original work...

It's hard not to feel a chill down your spine.

Even in the world of Hunter x Hunter, no one can slice a mountain in half with a single stroke, let alone Demon Slayer... that's even more unthinkable.

The reason why the power system of the Hunter x Hunter is superior to that of the One Piece is entirely due to the Dark Continent and its diverse life forms. Putting that aside, excluding the Chimera Ant, the scope that humans and Nen can achieve... is truly significantly different.

Nen are a complex and meticulous art form that perfectly embodies the 'beauty of combat' and the joy of fighting.

While Haki, swordsmanship, and Devil Fruit have relatively simple concepts, their power is more direct.

It already involves supernatural powers.

It's similar to the energy source on the Dark Continent.

The same applies to Natural Fruits.

Long recalled his so-called 'peak' of physical prowess during his time Hunter x Hunter. Not counting his later growth in the Dark Continent... just considering the Lake Island, he couldn't destroy a mountain or island.

Even if you push the breathing technique to its limit.

"However... just as I thought, Haki is closely related to willpower, as are Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki. With my soul abilities, although they are suppressed by this world, it is not difficult to awaken all of them and train them to a new level."

Long's thoughts shifted, and a smile appeared on her face.

As Teacher Kai once said... to truly dominate this ocean, in the later stages... what you really rely on is Haki.

"First, increase the strength of your body... then start forming a sea of qi in your dantian and step into the 'Land Immortal Realm.' I just don't know how this method, in terms of physical strength alone, will manifest in this world."

"Dom".

Oboro greeted him.

"Boss."

The latter replied.

"You must still have some old friends in the Sabaody Archipelago, right?"

"Yes...yes, but we haven't been in contact for a long time, and they're all residents of the island...not One Piece," Dom said.

Just like the hotel owners who had sheltered and hid them before, they were all friends that Dom had known since childhood or adolescence.

"Make some arrangements, send someone to the port, just keep an eye on things from the shadows... and see when the Donquixote Family's ship arrives."

"Ah?"

Dom exclaimed, "Boss, are you really going to steal that Devil Fruit?"

Long yawned but didn't say anything.

Dom had no choice but to shut up, but he was very uneasy.

Boss... he's actually serious!

A few days later, the number of One Piece in the island's Lawless Area increased significantly, and the island returned to its former 'prosperous' state.

This once again makes one admire Doflamingo's amazing marketing skills, as if the previous Navy search operation and the shadow hanging over the One Piece did not exist.

Inside a small hotel.

Long sat cross-legged, breathing deeply.

He was in a meditative state, as if he were in deep meditation.

In just a few days, his thin and withered body became plump, and his skin became rosy and shiny.

In the previous world, Demon Slayer, after killing Muzan, Oboro didn't immediately travel to another world. Instead, he quietly gathered some resources and settled on a relatively secluded mountain peak to begin cultivating the Dantian Technique. His plan was to use his time in Demon Slayer to thoroughly study this method and reach a minor level of mastery. This way, upon entering the next world, he could easily and quickly break through his bottlenecks.

However, as he practiced, he later discovered that, perhaps because the level of the method had increased, his progress in mastering it had become particularly slow.

It's simply impossible to achieve this in just a few years, like practicing Chinese Martial Arts.

In the end, it took him ten years to advance to the 'entry level'.

These were all things he had anticipated.

But plans can change quickly. He had a good idea, but when he actually arrived in this world, he found that he could do far less than he could in Demon Slayer.

There's no way to do whatever you want.

For example, he thought that after entering the higher world, no matter what background or state of the body his soul was inhabiting, he could use the system's cards, namely the Bloodline Card, to directly affect himself, so that his physical attributes could increase dramatically.

It saves the time of taking one step at a time and slowly polishing it.

By combining this with other types of cards, he can quickly build his own power and gain a foothold in the world. Even if he is targeted by the world's will, he will not be helpless.

However, as early as when the Celestial Dragons shot him, Oboro realized that... the system's cards couldn't be used on him.

The strength of the system's functions depends on the strength of his soul, that is, his supreme will... and he is currently in a 'restricted' state, which has also affected the system.

Fortunately, it can be used for external targets.

The world of One Piece cannot be completely sealed off.

However, judging from this point of view, the more powerful the world, the greater the 'pressure' it will experience.

This also necessitates the implementation of the supreme will and the need to enhance the effectiveness of the system.

"Call..."

After a while, Long's lips parted slightly, and several feet of white vapor escaped from his mouth.

At the same time, the intense body heat caused the stagnant air in the room to turn into tiny water droplets that hung on the walls.

"Huh?"

Long opened her eyes, somewhat delighted.

"The human body in this world is indeed extraordinary. It can expel impurities from the meridians of the body in such a short time... This speed is even faster than when Hunter x Hunter. The original body's aptitude was extremely ordinary, with no potential whatsoever. It belonged to the lowest level. Even so, the difference is still so obvious."

"While I'm Hunter x Hunter, my natural talent is at least one of my strengths."

"But it's still a long way from being able to unleash Haki... The body must be tempered to a certain degree first."

"Not only do we need to train internally, but we also need to refine our external skills."

"That's how I see it," Long judged.

In this world, what constitutes an ultimate physical monster, like Charlotte Linlin or Kaido, who were already 'invincible' at a very young age?

"Given such a useless body, and starting with a dead end... They're really going all out to eliminate me."

Long smiled to himself.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Long moved his limbs and shouted.

The only person who could come looking for him was Dom.

Outside, Dom nervously pushed open the door and entered. He was somewhat surprised by the high temperature inside the room, but didn't pay much attention to it. He said directly, "Boss... they're here!"

The auction house's anniversary celebration is in two days, and judging by the time, it should be around soon.

"They're all here?"

"Long asked."

"No, there were only three people. They should be officials from the Donquixote Family."

"Three people? Doflamingo didn't come?"

Long frowned slightly.

"Indeed... I didn't see the Joker."

"Do you think there won't be any problems? After all, any powerful force with a bit of influence knows that he owns the auction house, and it's been operating in the Sabaody Archipelago for more than a year or two. There are also Celestial Dragons involved... Under these circumstances, who would dare to even think about messing with him?"

Long chuckled softly, "Perfect."

"Boss... should we make some plans?"

Dom spoke cautiously.

"Just rob them directly, why do we need a plan? They're not on guard at all, they don't think anyone would dare to target the auction house... This saves us the trouble of scheming."

Long looked very happy.

"..."

Dom.
