Armament Haki?

Kuina and Zoro were both stunned, clearly unfamiliar with what Dragon was talking about, and they both turned their heads to look at Dunn.

The eyes on Ivankov's large head widened as he stared at Dunn.

He knew that Koshiro was capable of using Haki, but cultivating Haki required a certain foundation, and frequent use of Haki was a burden on the body.

In Koshiro's eyes, had this kid already reached the point of awakening Haki?

As for Dunn, he stared at Dragon, who had three blood-red question marks hovering above his head, and then nodded.

"I see!"

Dragon said, then sat down directly.

"The cultivation of Haki is actually not difficult. There is an island of women in the Calm Belt of the New World, and the vast majority of the people there have mastered impressive Haki."

"Amazon Lily!" Dunn nodded and said.

"You actually know that? It seems you know quite a lot."

Dragon smiled and said.

"Before I came to Shimotsuki Village, I saw a newspaper about the empress of the Amazon Lily Kingdom becoming a Shichibukai."

Dunn nodded, mentioning this matter.

"If it is just to guide out Armament Haki, it is actually not that difficult."

Dragon said, suddenly raising his hand to grab at Dunn, his palm wrapped in dull Armament Haki.

Dunn was startled. With his Observation Haki activated, he instinctively raised his hand to block the incoming grab, and then, his wrist was tightly gripped by Dragon.

Instinctively, Dunn tried to turn into his elemental form, but the area being gripped could not transform.

Dragon was taken aback, a smile appearing on his face as the Armament Haki on his hand flowed and wrapped around Dunn's wrist.

The next moment, Dunn felt it—a surge of energy within his own body seemed to be resisting the flowing Haki.

Before Dunn could investigate this energy clearly, Dragon had already withdrawn his hand.

"That is your own Armament Haki. Most people wouldn't be able to use this method."

Dragon said with a smile, his gaze toward Dunn seeming to hold a deeper meaning.

A Devil Fruit user, and a Logia type at that.

Dunn did not speak. Under the gaze of the four, he remained quiet for a long while before raising his arm, and Armament Haki emerged.

Zoro and Kuina could not perceive it, but Dragon and Ivankov could sense it very clearly.

"This actually works?"

Seeing that Armament Haki had already appeared on his system panel, Dunn was also very surprised.

"You still need to practice Armament Haki. If you want to use this method to help others, you need a much deeper mastery of Armament Haki."

Dragon did not hide anything.

Actually, even if he hadn't said it, Dunn had roughly understood.

He hadn't expected that Armament Haki could be wrapped onto another person, nor had he expected that when encountering someone else's Armament Haki, the hidden Armament Haki—or rather, this energy—within his own body would react on its own.

"Thank you!"

Regardless of anything else, Dragon had helped him, so a thank you was necessary.

"No need for thanks. Consider it my repayment."

Because of Dunn, Koshiro had gathered more food, which was a great help to the Revolutionary Army, which was why Dragon said that.

After speaking, Dragon stood up and waved his hand, turning with Ivankov to walk toward the dojo.

The three of them watched the two leave.

"Dunn, what were you two talking about just now?" After watching Dragon and his companion leave, Kuina turned to ask Dunn in confusion.

"Haki, a power that people possess within themselves. If you want to become a master swordsman or even a Great Swordsman in the future, this is something you must master.

The strong on the sea all have very profound Haki cultivation."

Dunn thought for a moment and explained to the two of them.

Haki cultivation requires a foundation and places a certain burden on the body; frequent use is harmful. It was normal that Koshiro hadn't told them about this yet.

As for Zoro, if it weren't for the fact that he got lost at sea and couldn't find his way back to Shimotsuki Village, perhaps Koshiro would have taught him to master Haki.

As for Kuina...

Dunn glanced at Kuina, then stood up.

"Haki is still too early for you two. When you are ready, the master of the dojo will teach you."

Having said that, Dunn left directly.

Kuina and Zoro looked at each other in dismay.

"This is the power that all the strong possess; I must master it."

Zoro said this with a face full of longing.

Kuina nodded in silence.

So, to become a powerhouse, the body is only one of the requirements!

Haki, is it?

Kuina decided to go find her father and ask.

On the other side.

Dragon and Ivankov returned and met with Koshiro.

"How was it?"

Seeing the two return, Koshiro smiled and asked.

"A promising young man."

Dragon nodded.

"Then..." Koshiro looked straight at Dragon, only to see Dragon shake his head.

"He has no intention of going out to sea right now."

Koshiro nodded upon hearing this.

"However, he is indeed a Devil Fruit user, and very likely a Logia type."

Dragon said.

Ivankov was listening intently, and upon hearing Dragon say this, he nearly jumped out of his skin.

"That kid is a Logia user?"

Ivankov was dumbfounded.

Devil Fruits aren't exactly cabbages, let alone Logia types.

The three top-tier Logia powerhouses of the Navy are far too famous on the seas, and their strength is immense.

"Very likely."

Dragon nodded.

"Leader, should we recruit him into the Revolutionary Army?"

Ivankov was clearly tempted.

A Logia user, as long as they don't slack off, will eventually become a top-tier combatant.

"Difficult! That young man's gaze is off, just as Koshiro said."

Dragon shook his head directly.

"I don't know why he looks at everyone with that kind of expression. Although he tries his best to hide it, that seemingly innate sense of superiority is always there."

Dragon sighed.

In truth, he was also somewhat disappointed, for the same reason as Ivankov.

"It's not that there's no chance; after all, he is still young."

Koshiro smiled and changed the subject.

"That's true!"

Dragon nodded at these words and did not dwell on the matter further.

After Dunn returned, he channeled his Haki and maintained it.

The quality was naturally inferior to that of Koshiro and Dragon.

But having just mastered this power, Dunn was very curious about Armament Haki.

He even intended to coat his Flame with it, but the result was, of course, a failure.

Regarding the cultivation of Haki, aside from asking Koshiro for advice later, Dunn planned to keep it activated at all times.

By using it frequently, he would eventually improve and master more ways to utilize it.

Of course, his HP was also dropping while using Haki, though the speed was not fast.

However, unlike Observation Haki, Armament Haki is also a massive drain on stamina.

The next day, before dawn, Dunn, who hadn't slept all night, left the Dojo. By the time the sun rose, Dunn returned to the Dojo, soaked to the bone and carrying a sea fish several meters long.
