The Awakening of Poseidon!
A seven-star Star Trophy appeared before Storm.
[Star Trophy: Jinbe the Sea Knight]
[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★]
'After such a long time, Blue-skinned Fathead Fish's [Star Trophy] has refreshed too...'
With a thought, Storm put away the high-class Big Trophy that radiated dazzling starlight.
Across from them, Shirahoshi was bending over, gently poking Jinbe's arm with her slender white index finger, while calling out softly.
"Jinbe- sama... Jinbe- sama..."
"Shirahoshi, Jinbe unconscious—he's fallen asleep."
King Neptune grabbed the beautiful and kind-hearted Shirahoshi, while glancing at the White Dragon Emperor opposite him with great horror.
As the Great Knight of the Sea, King Neptune's level of knowledge is outstanding among Fish-Man Island.
He also recognized the black and red arc of electricity that Storm had just released; it must have been [Conqueror's Haki].
King Neptune knew very well that [Conqueror's Haki] could directly stun an enemy through a powerful mental impact.
The number of pirates possessing [Conqueror's Haki] in the New World is as numerous as carp crossing a river.
Most of the most renowned Great Pirate are proficient in using [Conqueror's Haki].
But no matter what...
Jinbe is also a famous Shichibukai!
The White Dragon Emperor easily defeated Jinbe simply by using [Conqueror's Haki].
A thought inexplicably flashed through King Neptune's mind.
'Whitebeard... could he do that?'
"She fell asleep?"
Shirahoshi had no doubt about King Neptune's words; she simply felt that the White Dragon Emperor seemed even more powerful than she had previously imagined.
Jinbe is already incredibly powerful.
However, the White Dragon Emperor can put him into a sleep like that of an infant.
Shirahoshi, her pink fishtail swaying gracefully, swam to Storm's side, her clear eyes sparkling as she looked at Storm.
"Your Majesty the White Dragon Emperor! I'm very curious!"
Storm's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he felt a rare sense of pressure.
"What are you curious about?"
Shirahoshi's cherry-like lips spewed out countless questions like a machine gun.
"How did you do that? You made Jinbe fall asleep in an instant! Was it that black and red Lightning? What kind of ability is that? Can I learn it? If I learn it, can I make people fall asleep too?"
King Neptune first checked Jinbe's physical condition and found that there was nothing wrong with him. Then, after hearing his daughter's series of questions, he immediately chased after her with a headache.
"Shirahoshi! Don't be rude!"
Hearing her Father King say that, Shirahoshi pouted a little, feeling wronged, but didn't shed a tear.
"It's alright, King Neptune..."
Storm waved his hand, then looked at Shirahoshi.
"Actually, it's time for Shirahoshi to learn about this kind of 'knowledge'. She needs to grow, doesn't she?"
How could King Neptune not know this principle?
As the Mermaid Princess of this generation, Shirahoshi is a living Ancient Weapon.
King Neptune also hoped that his beloved daughter could master her talent.
But Shirahoshi's heart is just too gentle and too kind...
In addition, Shirahoshi is also very young.
King Neptune simply couldn't bring himself to make Shirahoshi train.
But the White Dragon Emperor spoke...
King Neptune looked at his little princess again.
Shirahoshi herself really wants to learn...
"Shirahoshi..."
King Neptune sighed.
"If you like it, then do it."
"Long live the Father King!"
Shirahoshi cheered and started pestering Storm again, asking him questions.
This little princess, bursting with curiosity, found everything she encountered today fascinating and kept chattering away.
Storm couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.
"Curiosity Star, don't speak yet."
Shirahoshi blinked and pressed for an answer.
"Curiosity Star? Who's that? Is it me?"
"Of course it's you! Who else could it be but me!"
Storm exhaled a breath of stale air, and his body suddenly swelled up, transforming once again into a giant twenty meters tall.
He reached out and pinched Shirahoshi's cheeks, then gently pulled them apart.
"Can we be quiet now? If you understand, blink."
Shirahoshi felt a sense of novelty, but also a little pain, as someone pinched her cheeks. After hearing Storm's words, her eyelids fluttered.
Storm released Shirahoshi's small face and casually used the "restoration power" of the [Restoration Fruit] to restore her slightly red face to its original fair and smooth appearance.
"Let me briefly explain the ability you just saw, an ability called [Conqueror's Haki]!"
Storm ignored King Neptune beside him and began to teach Shirahoshi about [Conqueror's Haki] in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Generally speaking
[Conqueror's Haki] is an innate talent.
If you weren't born, you'll never have been.
Furthermore, [Conqueror's Haki] cannot be taught; it can only be improved through continuous training.
Storm didn't know if Shirahoshi had the talent for [Conqueror's Haki].
However, as the human form of this generation's Mermaid Princess, [Aquaman Poseidon].
Shirahoshi definitely has potential!
As far as Storm knows.
He was the child of Queen Otohime.
When Shirahoshi witnessed Queen Otohime being injured by Donquixote Saint Mjosgard, she once unleashed her Shirahoshi, summoning a large number of Sea King.
On the contrary, when Queen Otohime was assassinated by Hody Jones, Shirahoshi almost lost her temper—but was stopped in time by her two loving brothers.
This sudden outburst of emotion, which significantly affects the mental consciousness of other creatures in the vicinity, is often a precursor to the Awakening of [Conqueror's Haki]...
In addition.
It's highly likely that Shirahoshi also inherited Queen Otohime's talent for [Observation Haki]!
Although Shirahoshi has never shown either [Conqueror's Haki] or [Observation Haki]...
Under Storm's tutelage, Shirahoshi quickly gained a comprehensive and detailed understanding of [Conqueror's Haki].
Even King Neptune, standing to the side, looked as if he had gained a great deal of knowledge.
After a long speech, Storm took a breath and then gestured to Shirahoshi.
"Did you remember what I just taught you? Focus your will and unleash it instantly. That's [Conqueror's Haki]—and the techniques for using other [Haki]. You can try it now."
Haki, domineering power stems from the strength of will and spirit.
Storm had no doubt about the strength of Shirahoshi's mental power.
Shirahoshi closed her eyes, silently reflecting on the teachings of the White Dragon Emperor.
Concentrate your mind and unleash your power in an instant...
Shirahoshi suddenly opened her eyes, a wisp of red light flashing deep within her sea-blue pupils. A faint spiritual power burst forth from her body, instantly spreading throughout the surrounding Sea Forest.
King Neptune was unaware of this.
However, Storm clearly sensed the power of this outburst.
'It's not [Conqueror's Haki], but [Observation Haki]...'
The next instant.
The fish that originally lived in the Sea Forest, as well as the enormous whales, all began to make their sounds.
'King...'
'Our King...'
'Awakening once again...'
Deep within the Sea Forest, the marine life responded noisily to the call of their king.
Shirahoshi heard the sounds of the sea creatures and then looked at Storm with curiosity.
"Your Majesty, White Dragon Emperor, did you hear that?"
King Neptune stroked his beard, looking at the little princess with some confusion.
In this deep- Sea Forest, besides them, where else could there be any "sound"?
"Certainly."
Storm's lips curled up slightly.
All the marine life was cheering--
"Let's raise a salute to the king's birth!"
Do you?
King Neptune glanced at the White Dragon Emperor, then at Shirahoshi, and suddenly felt as if he were an outsider.
"King?"
Shirahoshi was a little conflicted.
"But I am not a 'king,' I am just my Father King's little princess."
King Neptune's heart melted.
"No, you are the 'King,' Shirahoshi."
Storm shook his head and said calmly.
"You are the reincarnation of a god, you are this generation's [Poseidon]!"
First update.
Um.
There's more to come.
