Nine-Star! Conqueror's Haki!
"Conqueror's Haki!"
Storm looked at his [Big Trophy], his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
He had previously transformed into a red dragon and issued a war declaration to the world that "the First Summit War has officially begun."
He then felt a surge of extraordinary power!
I've had that special feeling a few times before, but never as special and clear as it was today.
Storm now summons his own [Big Trophy] to take a look.
It really is [Conqueror's Haki] Awakening!
"Finally Awakening!"
Storm was overjoyed and couldn't wait to try to sense his [Conqueror's Haki].
He first closed his eyes and silently contemplated for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze slightly narrowed.
A faint aura erupted from his body, and thin, thread-like black and red arcs of electricity burst forth in the void.
"Oh, this..."
The gap between expectations and reality was so stark that even Storm was somewhat dumbfounded.
Although he knew that his [Conqueror's Haki] had only just Awakening and was not even at the first star level.
But no matter what, isn't this power far too weak?
Storm felt that the [Conqueror's Haki] he had just unleashed was no match for the icy wind whistling from 10,000 meters above the ground.
"If you're bad at cooking, practice more!"
Storm took a deep breath and summoned several [Big Trophy] trophies.
"How about we add some more?"
Storm first took out three five-star [Platinum Trophy], then upgraded [Conqueror's Haki] to five stars, and immediately added points to it to six stars.
Immediately afterwards, he took out two more six-star [Diamond Trophy], upgrading [Conqueror's Haki] to seven stars.
At last.
Storm summoned the seven-star Star Trophy, [Pluton Rayleigh] and [Snake Princess Hancock], and without hesitation, poured them into his newly Awakening [Conqueror's Haki].
Originally, [Conqueror's Haki] only had half a star, but after this series of crazy point-additions, the number of stars adorning it increased dramatically.
[Conqueror's Haki: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight-Star)
Another Eight-Star ability has been born!
Storm held his breath and summoned his [Big Trophy] to examine his own abilities.
His strength, speed, and stamina have all reached the Eight-Star.
His Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki are all at the Eight-Star.
Reaching Eight-Star in all six main attributes results in --
[Physique: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight-Star)
[Haki: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight-Star)
From this moment on...
Storm's [Physique] and [Haki] have both reached Eight-Star.
It can be described as powerful in every aspect, leaving no blind spots!
Among them, the most outstanding is the [Endurance] attribute.
Storm's [Endurance] attribute is not "Eight-Star", but "eight and a half stars"!
"In my hands, I still possess two Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy]."
Storm summoned the two Eight-Star Big Trophy obtained by defeating Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Shanks.
Gazing at the two Eight-Star Big Trophy that appeared in the void, he fell into deep thought.
Two Eight-Star Big Trophy.
It can upgrade two abilities below the Eight-Star to the Eight-Star.
Or perhaps it's about upgrading an Eight-Star ability to Nine-Star!
Storm's current [Stamina] attribute is "8.5 stars".
If he uses an Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy] and invests it into the [Endurance] attribute, he can obtain Nine-Star [Endurance]!
At the same time.
Storm can save an Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy] for the remaining Ability Enhancement.
At this very moment.
Suddenly, the teachings of the two "teachers" flashed through Storm's mind.
First, there's Zephyr's line --
"Only Physique is the foundation!"
That's certainly true.
Storm first looked at his own [Stamina] attribute.
But at that moment, the teachings of another famous sea lecturing master, Kaido, came to mind.
Only Haki can overcome everything!
Storm shifted his gaze, then looked at his [Haki] ability.
To be precise...
Storm looked at his newly upgraded [Conqueror's Haki] ability, now at Eight-Star!
Among the Three Types of Haki.
The most unique one is definitely [Conqueror's Haki]!
Even though the ocean has an ancient tradition, [Haki] is a special ability contained within every living being.
However, the only Haki that ordinary people can activate, Awakening, and master are Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
[Conqueror's Haki] is said to be an innate quality of a king, a special kind of Haki that cannot be learned later in life.
That's not all.
Storm knew better than anyone else on the sea what a "version answer" really meant!
The version Mythical Zoan is out.
It's now the era of [Conqueror's Haki]!
Storm's mind conjured up various special abilities related to [Conqueror's Haki].
For example, I won't go into detail about the most basic "deterrence," "intimidation," and "stunning."
Even a further "Conqueror's Haki" is a well-known ability.
The most unique aspect of [Conqueror's Haki] is that...
First of all, [Conqueror's Haki] can be sealed and stored!
Even the [Conqueror's Haki] from eight hundred years ago can still be sealed away to this day through special means.
Secondly, [Conqueror's Haki] can block the perception of [Observation Haki]!
This is the "Observation Kill" ability that Shanks, possesses uniquely his own.
Finally, [Conqueror's Haki] can forcibly nullify the Devil Fruit abilities of others!
Even the immortal Gorosei cannot escape the punishment of top-tier [Conqueror's Haki].
"Instead of raising the [Endurance] attribute to Nine-Star..."
A firm and decisive light shone in Storm's eyes.
"Why not follow the version and choose to upgrade [Conqueror's Haki]!"
According to Storm...
[Conqueror's Haki] is currently, and will remain for a long time, the dominant force in the game.
The power of Conqueror's Haki is true power.
Even Admiral would be terrified and surrender in the face of sufficiently powerful Conqueror's Haki!
In addition.
Storm's [Stamina] attribute has reached "eight and a half stars".
He now possesses Eight-Star [Red Dragon Fruit], which greatly enhances his [Physique] attribute.
Storm doesn't need to further improve [Stamina] for now.
Since the decision has been made...
Then Storm no longer hesitated.
He directly threw the two Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy] into his newly Awakening [Conqueror's Haki].
The number of stars following [Conqueror's Haki] fluctuated, and a star that shone as brightly as the sun emerged.
[Conqueror's Haki: ★★★★★★★★★] (Nine-Star)
Storm's first Nine-Star ability has been born!
Nine-Star [Conqueror's Haki]!
Storm took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to immediately test his Nine-Star [Conqueror's Haki].
He still has quite a few high-level Big Trophy left to use; he'll wait until he's finished allocating all his skill points before properly testing his abilities.
After that round of skill point allocation...
Two of each of the Eight-Star, seven-star, and six-star [Big Trophy] were used.
Storm still has four seven-star Big Trophy and six six-star Big Trophy left.
His [Physique] and [Haki] attributes have both reached Eight-Star or above.
Seven-star and six-star Big Trophy do not allow you to allocate points to the [Physique] and [Haki] attributes.
These Big Trophy can only be used to enhance the abilities of [Devil Fruit] and [Demon Ring]!
Storm looked at the nine [Demon Ring] he possessed.
He first took out the Death Stars Trophy from [Yasopp] and directly upgraded a seven-star [Demon Ring] to Eight-Star.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned two more Star Trophy and threw them into the [More-More Fruit].
Following the [Clay Fruit] and the [Artificial Red Dragon Fruit].
Storm's third Eight-Star Devil Fruit ability has been born!
[Moa Moa Ring: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight-Star)
"The third Eight-Star [Demon Ring]!"
Storm gently stroked the [Moa Moa Ring] a few times.
The abilities of the [More-More Fruit] are not as complex and diverse as those of the [Artificial Red Dragon Fruit].
Simply put
The [More-More Fruit] is a very simple and unpretentious "numerical fruit".
The extremely exaggerated multiplication amount endowed the [More-More Fruit] with an extremely exaggerated level of power.
Back when Storm upgraded the [More-More Fruit] to seven stars, he could unleash a "thousand-fold increase" at his maximum potential.
He has now upgraded [More-More Fruit] to Eight-Star.
Will the [More-More Fruit] cause some special changes?
Storm recalled the strange effects that came with [Clay Fruit] being upgraded to Eight-Star.
The Eight-Star [Clay Fruit] is almost identical in performance to the [Mythical Zoan Nika Fruit].
"However, the [More-More Fruit] has almost no 'ability mechanism'; it's purely a 'numerical fruit'... It shouldn't be possible for a 'Nika' like the 'Clay Nika' to appear, right?"
A sudden chill ran through Storm. He shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind of the inexplicable thoughts.
After upgrading [Moa Moa Ring] to Eight-Star.
Only one of the seven-star [Star Trophy] remains.
Storm then looked at the six-star [Diamond Trophy], and the two [Demon Ring - Imitation] that were still at six stars.
He pondered for a moment, then summoned four six-star trophies and directly placed them into the [Explosion Ring].
The [Explosion Ring]'s star rating has also been upgraded to seven stars!
Storm still has one Star Trophy and two Diamond Trophy left.
He had no other abilities or equipment that needed upgrading, so he simply put away those high-level Big Trophy.
Storm admired his [Big Trophy] with great satisfaction.
"Nine-Star [Conqueror's Haki]!"
"Eight-Star [Moa Moa Ring]!"
"I am now terrifyingly strong!"
Storm donned the [Moa Moa Ring] and applied its power to the Sky Garden beneath his feet.
The Sky Garden's flight speed increased dramatically.
Starting from the Sabaody Archipelago, it swiftly crossed the Red Line Continent and plunged directly into the New World from tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
Storm enters New World once again.
His performance in the "First Summit War" began to stir up huge waves across the ocean.
The whole world is talking about that man's name--
Red Dragon Emperor!
