Hundredfold Haki Amplification-How Terrifying Would That Be?!

Wait a minute... the other person seems to be from Wano Country!

And that Kaido of the Beasts, I heard, is from Wano Country...

Has this guy thought of something?

Thinking of this, Sanji spoke up, "Hey, Kin'emon, you're a samurai from Wano Country, right? Is there something you want to say to us?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned their attention to Kin'emon.

Kin'emon paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Let me rescue my son first."

"The rest... we'll talk about it later."

"But rest assured, I will definitely not hide anything."

Seeing that Kin'emon had already said that, Sanji couldn't say anything more.

However, Xi Yan didn't let Kin'emon. Instead, he looked at him seriously and said, "But I need to make sure you're not Kaido's men."

Upon hearing this, Kin'emon immediately flew into a rage!

"Are you kidding me!"

With a ferocious Kin'emon roared, "Are you insulting me?!"

"How could I possibly be a subordinate of such a beast!"

"I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood!"

It's not a lie.

As Ninja, Xi Yan saw through Kin'emon's true thoughts; the man was indeed not lying.

So he said, "I'm sorry."

"Hmph." Kin'emon turned his head angrily and said, "I'll let it slide because you saved me, but please don't say such things again. It's an insult to me!"

This time, Xi Yan simply nodded and said nothing more.

Then, a question arose in Xi Yan's mind.

That is... why does this guy hold such a grudge against Kaido of the Beasts?

Oh... he understands.

Kaido of the Beasts, who was entrenched in Wano Country, occupied that country and harmed these samurai, right?

Having understood what had happened, Xi Yan's eyes showed a hint of pity.

What a pathetic bunch.

"You guys really are a bunch of madmen..." the Tea Beard said, swallowing hard.

Oh, I forgot about you.

Xi Yan glanced at the Tea Beard and said, "Speaking of which, you're actually an enemy."

After saying that, Xi Yan turned and walked towards the Tea Beard, clearly not intending to give him a chance to say anything more.

"Wait a moment!"

Usopp stopped Tea Beard and said, "This guy is on our side now."

"Um?"

Xi Yan was taken aback for a moment, then asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Did any of you persuade him with words?"

When did the Straw Hat Pirates become this powerful?

Isn't this Naruto's signature move?

"Talk-no-jutsu?"

Usopp was stunned. What kind of Ninjutsu was that?

Amazing, right?

"Don't worry about such details," Xi Yan waved his hand and said, "First, tell me what you mean by calling this guy one of us?"

"He was deceived by Caesar," Usopp said. "From the very beginning, Caesar only used him as a tool."

"But now that the tools have been seized, they've been discarded."

"Not only that, his subordinates were also treated as experimental subjects by Caesar."

"So he hates Caesar so much now, he wishes he could just kill that guy."

That's why he considered the other person one of their own, because this guy shared the same goals as them.

"That's right," Nami chimed in. "Speaking of which, this guy actually saved us."

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have come here."

They had ridden in the Tea Beard the whole way, so Nami was quite grateful to him.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan said irritably, "Have you all forgotten about Merry?"

Nami fell silent upon hearing this; she had truly forgotten about it.

Seeing this, Xi Yan shook his head, but also gave up his plan to kill Tea Beard.

"But you better keep your mouth shut!" Xi Yan said, "Otherwise..."

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

"Don't worry about that," said the Tea Beard. "Luo is my savior; I won't say a word."

As a pirate, he also had a sense of honor, so naturally he wouldn't gossip about Law.

Besides... whether he can even survive this time is another matter entirely.

After all... the person he was going to kill was a Logia -Logia ability user with a bounty of 300 million Beli!

'It's not a lie.'

Xi Yan, having discerned Tea Beard's thoughts, nodded and then withdrew the foot he had stepped out.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Since neither Law nor Luffy silenced this guy, there was no need for him to go through the trouble.

A simple warning will suffice.

Just then, Merry came to Xi Yan's side, her expression somewhat conflicted.

"What's wrong?" Xi Yan reached out and picked up the little guy, saying, "What do you want to say?"

There's one thing I care about.

"What's up?"

"Didn't we encounter Caesar before?" Merry said. "He somehow altered the surrounding environment."

"At that time, my wind became unusable, as if I couldn't generate wind in that space."

"After that... we passed out."

"There's such a thing?" Brook asked in surprise.

Unable to use wind?

Why?

Isn't wind everywhere? Why can't we use it?

Xi Yan, however, wore a thoughtful expression and said, "Unable to use wind...?"

"Merry, you couldn't create wind using your abilities back then?"

"Yes," Merry nodded and said.

She felt as if her abilities were being restricted in some way, making it impossible for her to activate them.

She could shoot arrows, but the problem was... she was almost fainting at the time, so she couldn't draw her bow and shoot at all.

"What's going on?" Zoro asked, puzzled.

Why can't Merry use her abilities?

"Perhaps it's the sea..."

Usopp stopped mid-sentence, then gave a rather embarrassed look.

Merry is not a power user, so she is naturally unaffected by Sea Stone.

"I think I know what happened," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin.

"How so?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the other party probably used their abilities to remove the air from your area, creating a space similar to a vacuum," Xi Yan said. "Of course, it's also possible that they actually created a vacuum."

This is probably why Usopp and the others fainted so quickly.

In a vacuum, a human would lose consciousness in a very short time.

As for why he didn't die...

Perhaps it's because the people in this world are physically stronger?

"A vacuum space?"

Several question marks popped into Merry's head: What is a vacuum?

Why couldn't I use the wind in that environment?

Seeing Merry's confused expression, Xi Yan explained in a simple and easy-to-understand tone, "Merry, think carefully, where does your wind come from?"

Merry blinked, tilted her head, and thought for a moment, "It's like... if you think about wanting wind, the air around you will move and become the wind I can use."

"That's right." Xi Yan pointed to the surrounding airflow. "The root of wind is actually air!"

"A place without air is like a river without water; no matter how hard you try to make it flow, it's all in vain."

After speaking, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "The space that Caesar created, whether it's a vacuum-like space or a true vacuum, is essentially one where all the air inside has been removed."

"No matter how strong you are, you can't create wind in a place where there is 'nothing'—just like Zoro needs a sword to swing his sword, Usopp needs an arrow to shoot an arrow, you need air as a 'foundation' to control the wind, right?"

Usopp looked thoughtful upon hearing this. In Caesar's domain, he had not only felt short of breath, but even his punches felt strange.

He was wondering what was going on when he realized that all the air around them had been sucked out.

Zoro, on the other hand, wore an expression of great interest. Would practicing his sword in that kind of environment help him improve his skills even further?

He was very curious.

Xi Yan ignored the two guys' complaints and continued, "Besides, not only can you not create wind in a vacuum, that's also why you fainted."

"To live, one must breathe air. There's no air in that place. If your lungs can't get oxygen, your brain will shut down immediately, and you'll naturally faint."

"Fortunately, Caesar's move should have had a range and time limit, otherwise you might have been finished there."

Merry understood, and a look of Satori realization appeared on her face. Then she frowned and said, "What if I encounter this situation again next time? Won't I be completely helpless?"

Usopp nodded in agreement, saying, "Yeah, that's too restrained! What if he uses that trick to trap us again? We'd be at his mercy again!"

Xi Yan smiled and reached out to ruffle Merry's hair, "It's not entirely hopeless; there must be flaws in this kind of vacuum field."

"Either the range isn't large enough for us to break through, or maintaining it requires a lot of effort from Caesar, and he can't use it indefinitely."

"Next time we meet, as long as we find the right opportunity to break through, your 'wind' ability will come in handy again."

After saying that, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if you master enough powerful Haki, you can also quickly subdue that guy."

Although the brain will gradually become confused when oxygen is lost.

However... if you are strong enough, you can still solve this problem!

As for the solution?

Just kill him instantly!

"I don't know how to Haki..." Merry said with some distress.

"Then let us handle him." Xi Yan smiled and ruffled the little guy's hair, saying, "Otherwise, even if you escape his Ability Circle and launch an attack from the outside, you won't be able to defeat him."

After all... without Haki, one cannot capture the fluidity of Logia's body!

The little guy sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

The lack of Haki is a major flaw...

"Looks like we'll have to work Haki training from now on," Usopp said, sounding a bit of a headache.

The New World is far too dangerous; not having Haki is definitely a disadvantage.

For example, this time, if they hadn't been lucky, they would be dead!

"Then you'd better work hard," Xi Yan said with a smile, "Especially you, Usopp!"

"I?"

Usopp pointed to himself, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You still remember what your Devil Fruit is, right?"

"Of course!"

Upon mentioning his Devil Fruit, Usopp proudly raised his head and said, "The More-More Fruit!"

He's quite satisfied with his Devil Fruit!

With this ability, he will eventually become a top-tier expert!

"That's right, it's the More-More Fruit." Xi Yan nodded and said, "Its ability is to amplify non-living objects."

"So here's the question... can it enhance one's Haki?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

Then, Brook gasped and said, "You mean... his amplification ability can amplify Haki?"

That would be a bit scary!

A tenfold increase in Haki?

What kind of monster is this?

"I'm just guessing," Xi Yan said. "But if things like strength and speed can be amplified, then... why can't Haki be amplified?"

If we have to put it bluntly, none of these things are non-living entities, are they?

Upon hearing Xi Yan's explanation, Usopp's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes, why not?

Then, an image appeared in Usopp's mind.

He held a slingshot about the size of a palm and fired a small-looking bullet at the enemy.

Just as the enemy was wondering what was going on, the bullet suddenly grew larger, and the Haki surrounding it increased dozens of times!

With a single strike, the enemy was completely routed!

Ah~

This scene is amazing!!!

"Hehehe~"

"Hehehehehe~"

Nami:...

Has this guy thought of something strange? Why is he laughing so much...?

"But is that even possible?" Zoro frowned. "Don't forget that Haki is specifically designed to counter Devil Fruit users."

"No, no, no, we can't look at it that one-sidedly," Xi Yan explained. "When facing an enemy, Haki is indeed the most effective weapon against ability users!"

"But when I use it myself, Haki is a treasure that can amplify the power of the Devil Fruit!"

"Take Luffy, that idiot, for example. He's learned to use Haki to increase the power of his Devil Fruit ability."

As he spoke, Xi Yan recalled Luffy's fighting style.

That guy really did it.

Zoro fell silent upon hearing this; it seemed he had indeed been somewhat one-sided.

There's nothing we can do; he's not a superhuman.

"So, Usopp, you could give it a try," Xi Yan said with a smile. "Maybe it'll work."

"One punch, a hundredfold increase in Haki —just thinking about it is awe-inspiring!"

After saying that, Xi Yan unconsciously recalled the old man Garp in his mind.

If this old man ate the More-More Fruit... how terrifying would his punch be?

'If he were a Momo-Momo Devil Fruit User, that punch he delivered during the Marineford War would have turned me to ashes,' Xi Yan muttered to himself.

Yes, absolutely!

It's not impossible to go even further and break it down into fractions.
