The Group Receives a Den Den Mushi

At this moment, ten thousand meters beneath the sea, on Fish-Man Island.

The Flying Pirate Crew had finally succeeded in landing on Fish-Man Island, trembling with fear; they had nearly been wiped out by massive Sea Kings, and were only saved when Golden Lion Shiki, in a moment of desperation, unconsciously awakened his Conqueror's Haki, intimidating the beasts into submission.

Had he not, the entire crew might truly have been swallowed whole by the Sea Kings.

"As expected, the three types of Haki are the entry ticket for the strong in this world."

"That was too close. Is this the power of Conqueror's Haki? The power to intimidate all things—Gahahahaha! I, too, am a man who possesses the qualities of a king."

Golden Lion Shiki laughed maniacally, celebrating his survival, and pulled out his Mobile Den Den Mushi to type a message.

[No. 36: I, too, have awakened Conqueror's Haki today. From now on, there is a place for me among the world's powerhouses!!]

After writing this with great pride, Golden Lion entered Fish-Man Island to explore this legendary isle.

On the Grand Line.

"Haha~ Rayleigh, look! The News Coo actually delivered a gift to me, and it's even addressed to Gol D. Roger. You know, even the Navy writes 'Gold Roger' on my wanted poster."

Roger was eager to open this mysterious gift, extremely curious about who could have sent it to him.

"Roger, be careful! It might be a trap set by the Navy!!" Rayleigh warned loudly, feeling quite speechless at his carefree captain.

"Relax, relax! I can already hear a little life inside; there's no danger!"

Roger was twenty-five years old this year and had been adventuring on the Grand Line for several years. He had awakened a very special form of Observation Haki that allowed him to hear voices others could not, and he even possessed a slight ability to distinguish good from evil.

Roger carefully opened the box to find a sleeping Den Den Mushi, some leaves, and an instruction manual.

Rayleigh picked up the manual and began to read.

[Mobile Den Den Mushi, gifted to those favored by the era across the world. Revealing one's true identity, insulting, or provoking others is strictly prohibited; otherwise, the Den Den Mushi will automatically lose this function. Let us communicate peacefully, share information, and explore the secrets of the world.

Note: The food for the Mobile Den Den Mushi consists of leaves rich in energy. The higher the energy, the longer the screen remains lit. Examples include leaves from the Yarukiman Mangrove, Sun Tree Eve, or Treasure Wood Adam. Individuals must explore this for themselves.]

"A Mobile Den Den Mushi? Let me turn on this screen and take a look."

Roger impatiently picked up the small screen connected to the Den Den Mushi and saw the latest message from No. 36—he had awakened Conqueror's Haki?

Roger fiddled with it and managed to scroll up through the history; the information within immediately made his expression turn grave.

Imu, who had lived for eight hundred years? The mention of Navy Admirals, the three types of Haki? The New World overlord Rocks? The supernova Golden Lion?

"Do you think this No. 18 asking about Golden Lion's potential could actually be Golden Lion himself?"

Gaban was the first to notice this, wondering if Golden Lion had also received a Mobile Den Den Mushi.

"Roger, are we about to enter the New World? What is this 'three types of Haki'? Is that precognitive ability of yours a type of Haki?" Rayleigh asked as well.

"Haha~ Since it says to communicate peacefully, let's go ask."

Roger was a man of action; he immediately tried his best to write neatly on the screen, not wanting to be laughed at by others.

[No. 55: Can anyone explain what the three types of Haki are?]

"Haha, there we go. I wonder if any powerhouses will come out to explain. Let's see if this Mobile Den Den Mushi is actually useful." Roger laughed heartily.

At this moment, Brook, who had just finished his training and was resting, saw the message and became instantly excited. It was actually Roger, the Child of the Era, asking a question.

[No. 5: Another rookie? I'll explain it to you: the three types of Haki are "Observation," "Armament," and "Conqueror's."

Observation Haki is the power to intensely sense the presence of others. Once this power is elevated, one can pinpoint the location and number of enemies outside their field of vision, as well as the actions the opponent is about to take in the next instant.

Armament Haki can enhance one's personal defense, acting like an invisible suit of armor; it can further evolve into offensive power, allowing one to contend with Devil Fruit users and even touch the true bodies of "Logia" users.

Conqueror's Haki is the "Haki" of the chosen one, possessed by only one in several million. It is the "qualities of a king" who stands above others, allowing one to intimidate or knock out enemies with their own "spirit."

Ordinary people can obtain this power through training and continue to strengthen it, but after reaching a certain limit, one must reach the extreme state of actual combat to ascend to the next level.

Furthermore, each type of Haki has more advanced forms that you rookies couldn't even dream of touching!]

[No. 55: Thank you for the guidance, senior. I wonder if there are any training methods for these Haki?]

At this point, Rayleigh snatched the Mobile Den Den Mushi from Roger's hand and wrote down the question.

Even Golden Lion Shiki on Fish-Man Island stared at the screen, as if the opportunity to become stronger was right before his eyes!

[No. 5: Want a free ride? Not a chance!!]

This sentence made the faces of both Golden Lion and the crew of the Roger Pirates turn black.

Soon, the screens of their Mobile Den Den Mushi went dark. Golden Lion immediately began feeding it leaves, while the Roger Pirates scrambled in a panic, thinking the Den Den Mushi had died. They quickly checked the manual and realized it was just out of energy and needed to rest.

Fortunately, the gift box contained a few leaves to feed it, but for the future, they would have to find high-energy leaves on their own.

In the New World.

Charlotte Linlin, who was sixteen years old this year and beginning to shed her chubby childhood physique, looked at the gift box sent by the News Coo and fell into a state of extreme joy, while the expression of Streusen beside her was not nearly as pleasant!

Charlotte Linlin saw that the gift box was addressed to "Linlin, from Mother Carmel," and immediately opened it to take out the Mobile Den Den Mushi, the leaves, and an instruction manual. This one was different from the one Roger had; it was written in the tone of Mother Carmel.

"It's a gift from Mother; she really hasn't left me~" Charlotte Linlin looked at the Den Den Mushi, caressing it as if it were a loved one.

"Linlin, this is definitely a lie, destroy it quickly!"

Streusen only wanted to destroy this Den Den Mushi. Mother Carmel? Hmph, he had watched with his own eyes as Linlin devoured them all; how could this person possibly reappear? It must be some organization trying to hoodwink Linlin. Linlin must remain under his control alone!

As he spoke, he lunged to thrust his long sword into the Mobile Den Den Mushi!

"How dare you!!"

Charlotte Linlin's expression turned savage instantly, her eyes reddening as she punched Streusen, sending him flying!

"No one is allowed to destroy the gift Mother gave me!!!"

A massive sonic wave sent Streusen tumbling away once more. With Linlin at the center, even the ground was stripped away layer by layer...
