Mosen formed an alliance with the four of them. To thank them for stepping forward just now, he gave each of them a large piece of roasted meat for free.
With the abnormal physiques of humans in the pirate world, a large piece of roasted meat was nothing special. It merely restored some of their strength, keeping them from freezing to death.
Before they earned Mosen's trust, he would only give them this amount of food.
That way, he could sustain their lives without letting them recover too much strength and pose a threat to him.
Mosen had a clear idea of his own strength. Any of the pirates in Extreme Cold Hell with bounties of over a hundred million would be enough to defeat him if they were restored to full condition.
Not to mention that these four were far from weak in Extreme Cold Hell. Setting aside the strongest, Paddy, the other three were also above average there. It never hurt to stay vigilant.
"Mia, you said earlier that you were skilled in Observation Haki, right?" Mosen asked Mia.
Mia nodded while eating her roasted meat.
"How strong is your Observation Haki?"
"I don't know how strong it is. I only know that I've possessed Observation Haki since birth. As I grew older, my Observation Haki grew along with me," Mia replied.
Mosen was stunned. He had never expected Mia to possess such a talent. In the original story, Aisa, the little girl from Sky Island, had awakened Observation Haki at birth, and its range was extraordinarily wide.
There was also the legendary pirate Lone Red, Patrick Redfield, who had stood shoulder to shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard all by himself. He too had possessed Observation Haki from birth.
However, Patrick Redfield's Observation Haki differed from Aisa's. His Observation Haki also grew stronger with age, but it could see through people's hearts, whereas Aisa's had an extensive range. They represented two different directions.
"Mia, can your Observation Haki do anything special?" Mosen asked tentatively.
"Something special? Does Future Sight count?" Mia thought about it before answering.
"You can see the future?"
"Sometimes."
"Sometimes?"
"Her ability works sporadically. When she first arrived at Extreme Cold Hell, I fought her once. That's when I discovered that she could sometimes predict my attacks in advance and counter them," the One-eyed Pirate Michael said from the side.
"So you only recently awakened this ability? You aren't very familiar with it yet, right?" Mosen continued asking.
"Yes. A few days before I was captured, I discovered that I could occasionally foresee the enemy's next attack while fighting some pirates hired by a noble."
After arriving at Extreme Cold Hell, the success rate of this ability rose a little. I feel that with some more time, I'll be able to master it completely."
"Your Observation Haki is innate. Can you teach it to others?"
"Don't worry! Back in our pirate crew, I taught Observation Haki to more than half of the crew. I have plenty of experience." Mia patted her chest in assurance.
The following afternoon, after being beaten for an entire day, Mosen pointed at Mia and asked, "Is this what you meant by being able to teach people?"
"That's what learning Observation Haki is like! Observation Haki is a form of Haki that sharpens a person's five senses, allowing them to detect the presence and emotional changes of living beings nearby. It can also be used to predict and evade danger.
"The best way to train is by dodging other people's attacks. That's how I taught everyone on our pirate ship." Mia spoke with righteous conviction.
Mosen's mouth twitched when he heard this. The woman had looked extremely excited while beating him, clearly enjoying the sensation of beating someone up. She was definitely a sadist.
But Mosen had to admit that she was right. In the original story, Rayleigh had said while teaching Luffy Haki that Haki was a latent power possessed by all humans in the pirate world.
This power was an innate ability, existing just like a person's presence and intimidation, almost like an instinct. However, most people could not recognize this power, or even if they wanted to use it, they could never manifest it in their entire lives.
Therefore, special methods were needed to awaken this power.
At the time, Rayleigh had chosen the same method as Mia, using continuous attacks to make Luffy awaken Observation Haki.
But Mosen was different from Luffy! Luffy was a Rubber-Rubber Fruit ability user, so without Armament Haki, it was difficult to hurt him. Mosen was just an ordinary person, and being hit really hurt.
Not to mention that Mia's expression was especially excited whenever she hit him. If she were given a leather outfit and a leather whip...
At that thought, Mosen couldn't help shuddering. He was a normal person and had no interest in that sort of thing.
"Jailer, what are you thinking about? Focus on sensing my presence and voice!
"Observation Haki has a great deal to do with the mind. You need to stay calm to use it properly. When you're emotionally agitated and have lost your reason, you can't use Observation Haki.
"It's the same while you're learning Observation Haki now. You have to concentrate completely. You can't let your thoughts run wild!" After saying this, Mia punched Mosen in the face again.
Looking at Mosen as he was sent flying, the smile on Mia's face grew even brighter.
After Mosen was brutally trained by Mia for half a month, he finally touched the threshold of Observation Haki. He could now sense Mia's attacks and evade them.
However, the state of Mosen's Observation Haki was similar to Mia's Future Sight. Both worked sporadically.
Mia's suggestion was to further temper his Observation Haki through battle.
Thus, the training during the following week became sparring sessions between Mosen and Mia.
They called it sparring, but the gap between their Observation Haki was simply too great. While teaching Mosen Observation Haki, Mia's own Observation Haki had also improved somewhat. She was not far from completely mastering Future Sight.
Therefore, Mosen and Mia's sparring resembled the beginning of Luffy's battle against Katakuri on Whole Cake Island.
Strictly speaking, Extreme Cold Hell was Mosen's home ground. It was covered in ice and snow, which Mosen could manipulate in battle. Faced with snow and ice that were everywhere, Mia should have had nowhere to hide.
Yet no matter how Mosen attacked, he couldn't touch Mia. She saw through his moves during the preparation stage. Not only could she evade them with ease, but she could even launch attacks against Mosen.
Mosen found the fight incredibly frustrating. He felt that even if he faced Paddy, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state. Even if he couldn't win, he could still fight her.
But against Mia, Mosen didn't even have the chance to fight back. How could he fight when he couldn't even touch her?
Mosen was practically driven to doubt his entire life.
