Observation Haki

Mosen partnered with the four of them. To thank them for stepping up, Mosen generously gave each of them a large piece of grilled meat for free.

Given the abnormal physique of humans in the world of Pirates, this large piece of grilled meat wasn't much. It would only help them recover a little stamina, just enough to prevent them from freezing to death.

Mosen would only give them this much food until he trusted them.

This way, their lives would be sustained without them recovering too much stamina and posing a threat to him.

Mosen was quite aware of his own strength. If any of the Pirates with bounties over 100 million in Extreme Cold Hell were restored to full strength, he wouldn't be a match for them.

Not to mention, these four weren't weak in Extreme Cold Hell. Excluding Paddy, who was the strongest, the other three were considered above average in strength within Extreme Cold Hell. It was always wise to be cautious.

"Mia, you said you're good at Observation Haki, right?" Mosen asked Mia.

Mia nodded while eating her grilled meat.

"How strong is your Observation Haki?"

"I don't know how strong it is. I only know that I've had Observation Haki since birth, and it grows stronger as I age," Mia replied.

Mosen was taken aback. He hadn't expected Mia to possess such talent. In the original story, the little girl Aisa from Skypiea awakened Observation Haki from birth, and its range was incredibly wide.

There was also the legendary Pirate, the solitary Redfield, who was said to be on par with Roger and Whitebeard, and who was born with Observation Haki.

However, Redfield's Observation Haki differed from Aisa's. His Observation Haki also grew stronger with age, but Redfield's could see into people's hearts, a different direction from Aisa's wide coverage.

"Mia, can your Observation Haki do anything special?" Mosen tentatively asked.

"Special things? Does predicting the future count?" Mia asked after thinking for a moment.

"You can predict the future?"

"Sometimes."

"Sometimes?"

"Her ability is hit or miss. When we first arrived in Extreme Cold Hell, I fought her, and I noticed that she could sometimes anticipate my attacks and counter them," the One-eyed Pirate Michael said from the side.

"So, you just recently awakened this ability? You're not very proficient yet, right?" Mosen continued to ask.

"Yes. A few days before I was captured, I fought a group of Pirates hired by nobles, and I occasionally foresaw the enemy's next attack. After arriving in Extreme Cold Hell, the success rate of this ability increased, and I feel like I'll be able to master it completely in some time."

"Your Observation Haki is innate. Can you teach others?"

"Don't worry! In my previous Pirate crew, I taught more than half of the members Observation Haki. I'm very experienced," Mia assured him, patting her chest.

The next afternoon, Mosen, who had been beaten all day, pointed at Mia and asked, "Is this what you call teaching someone?"

"Learning Observation Haki is like this! Observation Haki is a type of Haki that sharpens one's five senses, allowing them to sense the presence of surrounding beings and emotional changes. It can also be used to predict and avoid danger. The best training method is to dodge others' attacks. That's how I taught others on our Pirate ship," Mia stated righteously.

Mosen's mouth twitched. This woman seemed very excited when she beat him, clearly enjoying the feeling of beating others. She was definitely a sadist.

But Mosen had to admit, what she said was correct. In the original story, Rayleigh told Luffy that Haki was a latent power possessed by all humans in the world of Pirates. This power was an innate ability, like a person's aura or deterrence, existing like an instinct. However, most people couldn't realize this power, or they couldn't use it even if they wanted to their entire lives. Therefore, special methods were needed to awaken this power. Rayleigh had also chosen the same method as Mia, continuously attacking Luffy to awaken his Observation Haki.

But Mosen wasn't like Luffy! Luffy was a rubber-rubber fruit user, and it was difficult to hurt him without Armament Haki. Mosen was just an ordinary person, and getting hit hurt a lot. Not to mention, Mia's expression was particularly excited when she hit him. If she had a leather outfit and a whip... Thinking of this, Mosen couldn't help but shudder. He was a normal person and didn't have such preferences.

"Jailer-sama, what are you thinking about! Focus on sensing my aura and voice! Observation Haki is closely related to the mind and requires calmness to be used effectively. It cannot be used when one is agitated or has lost their reason. It's the same for you learning Observation Haki now; you need absolute concentration and shouldn't be lost in thought!" After saying this, Mia punched Mosen in the face again.

Watching Mosen being sent flying, Mia's smile grew even brighter.

Thus, after Mosen was brutally beaten by Mia for half a month, he finally touched upon the threshold of Observation Haki. Facing Mia's attacks, Mosen could now sense them and evade them. However, Mosen's current Observation Haki was similar to Mia's future prediction – it was hit or miss. Mia's suggestion for this was to further hone Observation Haki through combat.

Therefore, the following week of training turned into sparring between Mosen and Mia. Although it was called sparring, the gap in their Observation Haki was too vast. While Mia was teaching Mosen Observation Haki, her own Observation Haki also made some progress, and she was not far from completely mastering future prediction. Consequently, Mosen and Mia's sparring somewhat resembled the beginning of Luffy's fight against Katakuri on Whole Cake Island.

Logically, Extreme Cold Hell was Mosen's home ground. It was covered in ice and snow, and Mosen could manipulate them for combat. Mia was unavoidable in the face of the omnipresent ice and snow. But no matter how Mosen attacked, he couldn't touch Mia. Mia saw through Mosen's moves even in their preparation phase. Not only could Mia easily dodge them, but she could also launch attacks against Mosen.

Mosen felt incredibly frustrated. He felt that even facing Paddy wouldn't make him this miserable; he could at least put up a fight even if he couldn't win. But with Mia, Mosen didn't even have a chance to fight. How could he fight if he couldn't even touch her? Mosen was starting to question his existence.
