Gawain closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and calmed himself down completely.
I was indeed affected by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit just now!
As for the reason, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit may have enhanced the bioelectricity used for neural responses, making his reaction speed more sensitive and his neurons more active.
So, I was much more impatient than usual just now, wanting to do whatever came to mind, and doing it immediately.
But this doesn't suit his status or style!
So, Gawain took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, I already know my situation, and I'll be careful about it from now on so that I don't let myself be too affected by the Devil Fruit's power."
As for now, let's go back to the ship.
I still need to familiarize myself with my abilities!
After speaking, Gawain nodded to everyone, then casually grabbed Gion and pulled her back to the deck of the Dark Bird Ship in an instant!
This was also an experiment for Gawain; he wanted to know if he could move people!
Logically speaking, since Gawain moves at lightning speed by transforming into Inazuma, he shouldn't have the ability to carry others at high speeds.
He can't turn everyone else into Inazuma, can he?
But ironically, just like Kizaru, he also has the ability to move people around.
Considering that Kizaru, being a ball of light, can move others at high speeds, it seems normal that Gawain, as Rai, can move two people.
So, through continuous experiments, in the blink of an eye, he pulled everyone back onto the Dark Bird Ship.
Back on the ship, Yi Xiao and his group looked at Gawain with utter astonishment.
"Is this what high speed feels like? My old beard... it's gotten all bushy!"
Rayleigh couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Standing nearby, listening to Rayleigh's words, Jinbe, revealing his shark-like mouth.
"Grandpa Rayleigh, your beard has nothing to do with extreme speed, it's clearly due to lightning!"
"Haha, I was just joking. I'm just so happy!"
With Little Gawain's current speed, even if we fight all the Emperors of the Sea at the same time, even if we face Newgate, Kaido, Linlin, Shanks, and Beckman all at the same time, we won't need to worry about Little Gawain's safety, haha!
"Well..."
As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Jinbe couldn't help but speak up again, looking at Rayleigh with a face full of suspicion.
"Old Master Rayleigh, if we really do start a war with them at the same time..."
"Then it'll be Gawain worrying about our safety, won't it?"
After saying that, Jinbe rolled his eyes at Rayleigh.
At that very moment, Gawain keenly noticed Jinbe rolling his eyes!
Just now, Gawain sensed the changes in bioelectricity that occurred when Jinbe's eyes moved.
At the same time, Gawain also clearly felt that there was a potential difference of five millivolts between the cornea of Jinbe's eye and the back of his eyeball!
Beyond just the eyeballs, when Gawain went a step further in his observation, Gawain even saw the neurons of everyone around him directly through bioelectricity!
Immediately afterwards, Gawain could even sense every single cell in everyone's body, even when they were at rest!
After all, even in the resting state, that is, when the cell membrane is not stimulated, there is still a membrane potential of fifty to sixty millivolts inside and outside the cell membrane.
At this moment, Gawain's eyes were closed, yet he could clearly see every single movement of each person through the minute traces of bioelectricity within their bodies!
Furthermore, based on the electrical potential changes generated when the neurons of the group send commands to various parts of their bodies, Gawain can directly determine what actions they intend to take!
After Rayleigh's neurons became active, changes in electrical potentials appeared in a series of nerve and muscle cells in his left arm and other areas.
Gawain knew that Rayleigh was about to move his left hand!
Then, Rayleigh laughed and patted Jinbe on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, Jinbe, I was just giving an example. We are far from capable of fighting all the Emperors of the Sea at the same time."
"We still don't have enough people. Little Gawain needs to continue recruiting reliable companions."
When Rayleigh got to this point, Gawain knew that Rayleigh was about to turn his neck!
Because as Rayleigh's neurons twitched, the muscle cells near his neck quickly became active!
Sure enough, the next moment, Rayleigh turned to look at Gawain.
"By the way, Little Gawain, Yixiao once mentioned a guy named Aramaki. He sounds like an interesting person."
"If we have time, shall we search for clues about the Aramaki?"
"Aramaki?"
Gawain asked Yi Xiao in a low voice, and Yi Xiao nodded.
"Indeed, sir, in my long life as a ronin, I have met several interesting people, and Aramaki is one of the best among them."
That guy was like a yakuza, using extremely ruthless methods and violence to eliminate numerous gangs across the Four Blues!
At this point, Yi Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
"Although after the Great Pirate Era arrived, more and more people chose to join the pirate side."
Even so, there are many outstanding people of all kinds who uphold justice throughout the Four Blues!
After news of our complete eradication of the lawless Mock Town gradually spread throughout the Underworld...
I believe that even more people will flock to the banner of the adults!
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled expectantly.
Gawain nodded slightly.
"Indeed, although the newspapers did not report the massacre we committed in Mock Town, the Underworld and the pirates should both know what we did."
This is why I decided to choose Mock Town as the location for recruiting soldiers.
Whether it's the Sky Island or the newly formed Golden Town, they will become our next landmark.
People will understand and clarify our style through our actions here, and they will also understand my stance and determination.
However, for now, what we need to do is rest on the Sky Island for a while.
This serves both to provide time for Franky and others who remain on Jaya to observe, and to leave some suspense for the journalists and civilians who are following us.
If we return from the Sky Island in just a few days, their recounting of the event will inevitably lack some of its legendary and narrative appeal.
In addition, we also need to deal with the Shandia on the Sky Island. It's time to resolve the conflict between the Shandia and the Skypieans.
The homeland of Shandia was once occupied by the gods of the Sky Island, and the conflict between the Sky Island and Shandia ultimately stemmed from the issue of land.
But next, we can easily transport soil from Four Blues to the Sky Island!
At this point, Gawain clapped his hands lightly.
"In short, I will make time to meet with the people from Shandia next."
As for now, putting all that aside, getting to know one's own strength is a much higher priority than the Shandia!
Everyone, please help me take a look. Do I qualify as having mastered Observation Haki?
Although it's not exactly the same as Observation Haki, I always felt that my senses were enhanced in a unique way after eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
"Oh?!!"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Gion immediately became interested and beckoned to Gawain.
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit can actually help with Observation Haki?!"
"Sir, close your eyes!"
"Um!"
Following Gion's instructions Gawain closed his eyes. As soon as Gawain closed his eyes, Gion silently slashed at him!
Even with his eyes closed, Gawain perceived Gion at this moment as an incredibly clear figure composed of bioelectricity.
Gawain could sense even every single cell in Gion!
At the same time, as Kompira of Gion streaked through the air, Gawain also sensed Kompira's trajectory through the ubiquitous microorganisms in the air that also possess bioelectricity!
Then, in the next instant, Gawain was suddenly split in two, and Gion's sword perfectly cut into the crack in Gawain's body that he had deliberately created!
Upon seeing this, Gion's face lit up with joy!
"It actually shows some signs of Observation Haki, let's try this one!"
As they were talking, Gion went to the baseball field not far away and brought over a bunch of baseballs.
Holding the baseball in her hand, Gion imbued it with a layer of Armament Haki, and then whispered to Gawain.
"Watch out, sir!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gion slammed the baseball in her hand. The jet-black baseball traced a huge arc and flew erratically toward Gawain's shoulder.
Just as it was about to hit Gawain had already determined the baseball's landing point through the collision between the baseball and airborne microorganisms.
Thus, a hole precisely appeared in Gawain's shoulder, allowing the baseball, coated in Armament Haki, to pass right through it.
Seeing this, Rayleigh and the others also became interested.
"Not bad! Momousagi's throws are much faster than most bullets. Little Gawain can already dodge bullets with his Observation Haki, haha!"
Rayleigh smiled and waved to everyone.
"Come on, everyone, let's create a sea of Armament Haki Gawain together and test Gawain's sensory abilities!"
That's really going too far! The Rumble-Rumble Fruit grants way too many additional abilities!
Everyone threw balls with different Armament Haki, but with different speeds and directions. Let's see Gawain's limits, haha!
As they were talking, Rayleigh took the ball handed to him by Cheng Yuan from the Black Ice Terrace and casually hurled it at Gawain.
Despite being hit by the baseball thrown by Rayleigh, Gawain easily controlled his body and dodged the blow.
Immediately afterwards, everyone grabbed baseballs and started hurling them at Gawain one after another. In the next minute, Gawain dodged hundreds of baseballs imbued with Armament Haki.
Seeing that the baseball thrown using ordinary methods posed no threat to Gawain, Rayleigh smiled and picked up his sword sheath.
Without saying a word, he directly hurled the black scabbard at Gawain.
The moment the scabbard struck, Gawain immediately tried to separate his body to dodge Rayleigh's attack.
But just as Rayleigh's scabbard was still more than twenty centimeters away from him, Gawain was already sent flying by Rayleigh's blow.
Bang! Sizzle!
The instant Gawain was sent flying backwards and crashed into the ship's side, Gawain instantly transformed into countless bolts of electricity, dissipating back to his original position.
"Rub your belly, "Gawain said with a smile.
"Grandpa, you can't cheat by using 'Advanced Conqueror's Haki'!"
"Haha, without using the Advanced Conqueror's Haki, it's already difficult for conventional attacks to hit you. This is also the advantage of the Speedster; only you can decide whether the battle can begin."
If you don't want to fight, no one has the ability to chase you down and kill you.
But speaking of which, why does your Rumble-Rumble Fruit enhance your Observation Haki?
I can understand that lightning can improve physical fitness, but Observation Haki...
Did you secretly shock your brain with lightning?
"Haha, how could that be, old man!"
Hearing Rayleigh's teasing, Gawain smiled and said to Rayleigh.
"The reason why the Rumble-Rumble Fruit can enhance my Observation Haki is because bioelectricity is everywhere, and so are microorganisms!"
As for me, I can see everyone within my perception range not only through the ubiquitous microorganisms.
I can even hear every single word spoken by everyone within my perception range through bioelectricity!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain closed his eyes and expanded his sensory range. The next moment, most of the Dark Bird Ship appeared directly in his eyes.
He could even hear the conversations between the cooks and maids in the cabin!
"I tried it, and right now I can only sense anything that happens within a two-kilometer radius of me, and I can also hear anything anyone says within that range, and any sound that comes into play within that range!"
At this point, Gawain gently rubbed his ear.
"This feeling isn't good. Because of the excessive bioelectricity, no matter whether I can calm down or not, there's a lot of noise in my ears that I have to actively block out and forget."
However, regardless of the circumstances, after obtaining and consuming the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I've already mastered the Observation Haki!
"Sir, you call this the beginner's guide?!"
Gawain's words made Shiryu a puff of smoke in frustration.
"My Observation Haki, which I've honed for over twenty years, only covers a radius of about ten kilometers!"
As for Mr. Issho, who has the strongest Observation Haki on our ship, his Observation Haki radius is estimated to be over a thousand kilometers, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sense the meteorite from outer space!
But whether it was me or Mr. Yixiao, when we first Awakening our Observation Haki, our perception range was almost no more than two hundred meters!
Not only did you gain Observation Haki immediately after eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but its range also reached a scale measured in kilometers!
So you actually call this an introduction?!
Your Observation Haki has clearly reached the mastery level!
Shiryu said with absolute certainty.
No sooner had Shiryu finished speaking than Issho added from the side.
"Moreover, even with my Observation Haki, the range of sound I can hear is far, far smaller than my range of perception."
My blindness greatly liberated my ears, so I can probably hear most sounds within a distance of 1,300 meters.
This is the result of my decades of hard work!
As a result, the range at which you can hear sounds has even surpassed mine!
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit truly lives up to its reputation as the legendary and strongest Logia!
It can do so many things!
"Yes, it truly lives up to its name as the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but the way you use it is truly amazing!"
Gion couldn't help but nod in approval.
"You know, the adults discovered several of its characteristics in less than half an hour after eating the Devil Fruit!"
I'm increasingly looking forward to my adult future!
"Maybe I can actually raise an adult who can beat up Garp- chan, haha!"
"That's right, Momousagi is absolutely right! A real man beats up Garp, haha!"
After Rocks died, that old bastard Garp had long since become a symbol of strength.
Little Gawain, from now on, take Garp as your role model and continue to hone your skills relentlessly.
We, along with everyone else, will provide you with the greatest possible guidance and assistance!
Garp, hmph!
The more horrific the chase you gave me back then, the more horrific the beatings my disciples will deliver to you! Hahaha!
Thus, accompanied by Rayleigh's loud laughter, Gawain's training program underwent a significant change.
In addition to strengthening his physique, Yi Xiao taught Gawain to further master the art of Observation Haki, resulting in a significant increase in his instruction.
At the same time, Gawain's training focus shifted entirely to his Armament Haki.
Currently, Gawain only lacks mastery of Armament Haki within the conventional basic power system!
As for the advanced forms of Armament Haki (Ryuo) and Observation Haki), it's about Voice of All Things.
Those are all too far off. Gawain needs to make progress step by step, steadily and surely!
Sorry, I drank too much last night and didn't get up until noon today, so the update is a little late.
Don't worry, I'll still manage to update two chapters today, totaling around 10,000 words!
Tickets, please!!!
