The Special Effects of Conqueror's Haki Entwining

"Alright, I'll leave Xi Yan to you." Hancock nodded and said, "I hope you'll be a qualified teacher."

"Don't worry, I'm very confident in my teaching abilities," Rayleigh said with a smile.

Shanks was trained by him, so... he was still very confident!

"Good."

Hancock nodded, then looked at Xi Yan and said, "Xi Yan, if you need anything, just call me."

"I will sail here to find you as soon as possible."

Sensing the tenderness in Hancock's eyes, Xi Yan smiled gently and said, "Alright, if you need anything, I won't hesitate to ask."

"Then... then I'll be going..."

"Okay, have a safe trip."

"Um."

Having received a reply, Hancock began walking towards the Ninth Snake, glancing back every few steps, and eventually returned to the ship with the Sander Sonia sisters.

"Goodbye, Brother-in-law Lord!"

"Bon Voyage!"

"Profound!"

Soon, under the navigator's command, the pirate ship gradually moved away from Rusukaina Island and then turned around and headed towards Amazon Lily.

Hancock stood by the ship, staring at the distant island until it was out of sight before turning her gaze away.

"Full speed back to Amazon Lily!" Hancock ordered.

"Yes, Snake Princess!"

Upon receiving the order, the navigator immediately began operating the pirate ship.

"Older Sister Lord, shall we go hunting during this time?" Sander Sonia asked.

Uncle Rayleigh said the way to Awakening that Haki- infused aura is through combat. So, should they still go out hunting for prey during this time?

Hancock hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then shook her head and said, "Never mind, let's not go out for now."

"Xi Yan might contact me at any time, so I need to stay on Amazon Lily."

"And... I can also use this time to train Little Merry."

Since she had promised to help Xi Yan train Merry, she couldn't possibly go back on her word.

This time, Sander Sonia simply nodded and said nothing more.

"Stop looking, they're already far away," Rayleigh said.

Hearing Rayleigh's words, Xi Yan smiled, then looked away and asked Rayleigh, "Uncle Rayleigh, shall we begin training now?"

"There's no need to be in such a hurry."

After finishing his sentence, Rayleigh took a swig of his drink and then said, "Tell me, how did you manage to attack Mary Geoise and escape unscathed?"

Xi Yan nodded upon hearing this, and then recounted his experiences over the past few days to Rayleigh.

Listening to Xi Yan's explanation, Rayleigh's eyes widened as he said, "So, in the eyes of the World Government, you are currently in a state of 'death'?"

"Yes."

"No wonder you were so confident before..."

By faking his death, he completely fooled the World Government!

In this way... the World Government won't deliberately cause trouble for the other Straw Hat Pirates, which is great!

"If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have attacked Mary Geoise," Xi Yan said with a smile.

Rayleigh paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said with some emotion, "Ninja... they really are a fascinating race."

There are just too many powerful and practical capabilities!

"Hehe, my partner is awesome, right?" Luffy chuckled.

He was as happy as if Rayleigh were praising him.

"Yes, that's really impressive."

Just then, Xi Yan said, "Uncle Rayleigh, I met someone in Mary Geoise who looks exactly like Shanks."

"Someone who looks exactly like Shanks?"

Rayleigh was taken aback. "Is that so?"

"Xi Yan, you've seen Shanks again?!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

Xi Yan:...

So, what exactly is this idiot listening to?

Do you selectively listen to content you only like?

Speechless, Xi Yan could only explain further, "It's not Shanks, it's someone who looks exactly like Shanks. I suspect he's Shanks ' twin brother."

Luffy was taken aback. Shanks has a twin brother?

How could he not know?

Ignoring the stunned Luffy, Xi Yan turned to Rayleigh and said, "Shakky-jie said the same thing."

"Yes, that's possible."

Rayleigh thought for a moment and said, "After all, Shanks is someone we brought from God Valley."

"By the way, you know about God Valley, right?"

"Of course I know," Xi Yan nodded and said, "My Grandma Za and Shakky-jie both mentioned this."

He had heard that name more than once, so he was quite familiar with the place.

"That's good."

Rayleigh nodded, then said, "After we went to God Valley to participate in that war, we left there with a batch of treasure."

"And Shanks was found in one of the treasure chests."

Recalling the first time he met Shanks, a smile appeared on Rayleigh's face.

"So, does that mean Shanks is also Celestial Dragons?" Xi Yan asked.

"Celestial Dragons?"

Luffy paused for a moment, wondering if Shanks was one of those annoying guys.

No, Shanks is a good person!

Even Celestial Dragons should be good people.

Thinking of this, Luffy calmed down and continued eating with his head down.

After glancing at Luffy, Rayleigh said, "According to you, Shanks is most likely Celestial Dragons."

"But he's different from those arrogant guys; he's actually quite easy to get along with."

At least he didn't see any of the arrogance that belonged to the Celestial Dragons in Shanks!

"He grew up with you all, so he definitely wouldn't have picked up any of the Celestial Dragons ' bad habits," Xi Yan said.

"Hmm... that's true."

While some people's personalities may indeed be innate, most people are influenced by their environment.

Having not lived in Mary Geoise, one naturally wouldn't have picked up that arrogant and condescending habit.

Then Rayleigh said, "So, you're interested in that guy who looks a lot like Shanks?"

"No, that's not it."

Xi Yan shook his head and said, "The only reason I mentioned him is because he looks a bit like Shanks."

"According to them... that person is the Vice-Captain of the God's Knights."

"The God's Knights, huh...?"

Upon hearing this name, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Rayleigh's expression became noticeably serious, clearly indicating that he knew something.

"It seems Shakky-jie was right, you really have fought against the God's Knights," Xi Yan said.

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Rayleigh glanced at Xi Yan and said, "Shakky told you everything?"

"Yes, I did," Xi Yan nodded, "Including the fact that she's a treasure."

After hearing Xi Yan's words, Rayleigh understood what he meant.

Clearly, Shakky had told him everything that had happened back then.

In that case, there's no need for him to hide it anymore.

Thinking of this, Rayleigh said, "Your Shakky-jie is right, I did indeed fight against the God's Knights back then."

"However, the person I fought wasn't very strong; he defeated her after only a short fight."

"Beat?"

Xi Yan keenly caught the meaning in Rayleigh's words and immediately said, "Even you can't kill the enemy?"

"I didn't finish her off," Rayleigh explained. "I was in a hurry at the time, so after defeating her, I left without looking back."

The battle situation was extremely urgent, and lingering for too long would be very disadvantageous for them, so after defeating the enemy, he decisively went to find Shakky.

He didn't know whether the other party recovered afterward.

Xi Yan nodded in understanding, then asked, "So how did you suppress their Super Regeneration?"

"Use Conqueror's Haki!"

"Conqueror's Haki?"

"Yes!" Rayleigh nodded seriously and said, "As long as we can use a sufficiently powerful Conqueror's Haki Infusion, we can suppress their Self-healing abilities and defeat them!"

This is also the main reason why he was able to defeat his enemies.

"So it's because of the Conqueror's Haki Infusion..." Xi Yan muttered, "No wonder those guys were so excited after seeing me Awakening Conqueror's Haki."

So all this talk was just because he was afraid that once he mastered Conqueror's Haki Infusion, he'd turn around and kill them all?

Then, Xi Yan continued, "Could the Conqueror's Haki Infusion kill them completely?"

"This..."

Rayleigh hesitated for a moment, then said, "Gaban did mention a key point back then."

"What are the key points?"

"Use a slash imbued with Conqueror's Haki to sever the tattooed arm of the God's Knights!" Rayleigh said. "That will suppress their Regeneration Ability and defeat them!"

"Tattoo?"

Xi Yan was taken aback. Could severing a tattooed arm really suppress their Regeneration Ability?

What strange principle is this?

"That's right, it's a tattoo," Rayleigh nodded.

"So, all we need to do is cut off their arm, right?"

"To be honest, I can't be sure."

Xi Yan:???

No, how can this be uncertain again?

Perhaps sensing Xi Yan's confusion, Rayleigh explained, "I didn't sever the enemy's arm; I chopped it off!"

"But the effect was similar to what Gaban had described."

"So..."

Rayleigh didn't finish his sentence, but Xi Yan understood what he meant.

Since the enemies have all been defeated, it's impossible to determine which method was effective.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Yan said, "In any case, it's true that using Conqueror's Haki Infusion can suppress their Regeneration Ability."

As for whether or not to cut off the tattooed arm... he can try again when he encounters the God's Knights again!

"That's true."

Rayleigh nodded and said, "Regardless of whether the tattoo is useful or not, we need to use Conqueror's Haki Infusion to attack, otherwise we won't be able to suppress them."

No matter what, it's unavoidable that Conqueror's Haki Infusion, so... if you want to deal with those guys, you must first master this power!

"It seems we still have a long way to go," Xi Yan said, rubbing his temples.

Take your time.

Rayleigh said, "You two both possess Conqueror's Haki, so I believe you will definitely be able to master this power in the future!"

After all... that's the stepping stone to becoming a top expert!

Without such power, Luffy could never have become the Pirate King, so he believed that the other party could definitely master this power.

"Yes, I believe we can do it too," Xi Yan said with a smile.

"That's right!"

Luffy swallowed the food in his mouth, stood up, and said, "I'm going to be the Pirate King! I'll definitely have that power!"

Seeing the confident expressions on their faces, Rayleigh also smiled.

'That's right, we should have that confidence!'

Only those who possess this level of confidence have the ability to master the Conqueror's Haki Infusion!

Thinking of this, Rayleigh laughed even more happily, picked up the bottle in his hand, and took a swig of wine.

Then he stood up and said, "Let's go back to the center first."

"After you've eaten and drunk your fill, let's continue training!"

Xi Yan nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then let's go."

After calling out to Luffy, Xi Yan followed Rayleigh deeper into the forest.

Luffy then reached out and rolled up the leftover food before chasing after the two.

"It really is a primeval forest."

Looking around at Xi Yan, he muttered, "There are quite a few ferocious beasts and insects."

His eyes could keenly spot the massive figures moving about in the distant forest.

It has to be said, this size is truly enormous.

"That's why I've chosen this place as my training ground," Rayleigh said.

Combat is the best way to enhance Haki, and those enormous beasts are the best sparring partners!

With these guys, those two kids will definitely get stronger very quickly!!

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan paused, then looked at Rayleigh in surprise and said, "Uncle Rayleigh, you're not planning to make me fight those guys too, are you?"

Those big guys are indeed quite large, but they're no match for me!

"I have that idea," Rayleigh nodded.

"You must be joking, I..."

"I know what you're trying to say," Rayleigh interrupted, "But until you've mastered Haki, you're not allowed to use those strange abilities of yours."

After saying that, Rayleigh paused for a moment, then continued, "Especially the hypnosis and that pale golden giant armor!"

With these powers, Xi Yan could indeed easily kill these beasts, but doing so would prevent him from increasing the strength of his Haki!

Therefore... he hoped to conceal these powers before Xi Yan fully mastered the Haki.

"Not using Ninja techniques?" Xi Yan frowned.

"Yes."

Xi Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that Xi Yan did not resist his training plan, a smile appeared on Rayleigh's face.

Then he said, "Don't worry, once you've fully mastered Haki... combining Ninja abilities with Haki will make you even stronger!"

Rayleigh spoke those words with absolute confidence!

"Understood," Xi Yan nodded.

He understood this principle, which is why he agreed.

Then, Xi Yan turned to look at the sea behind him, his eyes gradually becoming deep.

'Just wait... In two years, I will definitely be even stronger!'

At this moment, Xi Yan was filled with confidence!
