So Mind Weave was actually called Observation Haki. I thought it was an ability unique to me. No one on Birka had ever discovered it." Enel sat on the ground, recovering his strength.
Maybe that was just because he'd taken too many beatings... Dawn silently mocked him and began sparring with Enel.
Getting beaten badly enough to awaken Observation Haki showed just how miserable the kid's life had been.
"Haki is a power hidden within the human body. Everyone, and even some animals, possesses Haki. It is just that many people never awaken it in their entire lives.
"When you dodged those brats' attacks before, it happened to fit the training method for Observation Haki. And your talent is quite good as well," Dawn explained.
"Ah, so since I've already awakened Observation Haki, does that mean I've surpassed most people?"
Enel could not help but feel delighted. After all, he was still a kid. The thought that he had surpassed so many people made him incredibly happy.
"That is only relative. In the second half of the Grand Line, there is no one who cannot use Haki. Even the rarest Conqueror's Haki is as common as fish crossing a river. What you need to do now is improve your strength." Seeing Enel getting a little smug, Dawn promptly poured cold water over him.
Over the next two days, Dawn also made a training plan for Enel.
Unexpectedly, the kid's foundation was actually quite good.
After asking him about it, Dawn learned that when Enel had lived alone before, unable to produce anything himself, he had no choice but to hunt prey in the forest.
It had basically been the same as surviving on a Desolate Island.
Only through that had the lone Enel built up a decent physique while hunting.
