Dola Ge's Help! Haki Emission

Armament Haki?

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

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

He knew Koushiro was capable of Haki, but cultivating it required a certain foundation, and frequent use placed a heavy burden on the body.

In Koushiro's eyes, had this brat already reached the point of awakening Haki?

Dunn, meanwhile, kept his gaze fixed on Dragon, who had three blood-red question marks hovering above his head, and then nodded.

"I see!"

Dragon said, then sat down directly.

"Haki training isn't actually that 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 one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Dunn nodded, mentioning the event.

"If it's just about guiding the Armament Haki out, it's actually not that difficult."

As Dragon spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and reached toward Dunn, his palm coated in a dull, dark Armament Haki.

Dunn was startled. With his Observation Haki fully active, he instinctively raised his hand to block the incoming grasp, but his wrist was tightly gripped by Dragon.

Instinctively, Dunn tried to turn into his elemental form, but the area being held refused to transform.

Dragon paused, a smile appearing on his face as the Armament Haki on his hand flowed and coiled around Dunn's wrist.

The next moment, Dunn felt a surge of energy within his own body resisting the incoming Haki.

Before Dunn could investigate this energy further, Dragon withdrew his hand.

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

Dragon said with a smile, looking at Dunn with a gaze that seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

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

Dunn didn't speak. After a long silence under the gaze of the four, he raised his arm, and Armament Haki manifested.

While Zoro and Kuina couldn't perceive it, Dragon and Ivankov could sense it clearly.

"That actually worked?"

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

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

Dragon did not hide anything.

Actually, even without him saying it, Dunn had already roughly understood.

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

"Thank you!"

Regardless of the circumstances, Dragon had helped him, so a word of thanks was necessary.

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

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

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

The three of them watched the two men leave.

"Dunn, what were you two talking about just now?" Kuina asked, turning to look at Dunn with confusion after watching Dragon and Ivankov depart.

"Haki. It's a power that people possess within themselves. If you want to become master swordsmen or even great swordsmen in the future, this is something you must master.

The powerhouses on the sea all have very profound Haki training."

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

Haki training required a foundation and placed a certain burden on the body; frequent use was damaging. It was normal that Koushiro hadn't mentioned it to them yet.

As for Zoro, if he hadn't gotten lost at sea and failed to find his way back to Shimotsuki Village, perhaps Koushiro 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 will teach you."

With that, Dunn walked away.

Kuina and Zoro looked at each other.

"This is a power that only the strong possess. I must master it."

Zoro's face was filled with longing as he spoke those words.

Kuina nodded in silence.

So, physical strength was only one of the requirements to become a powerhouse!

Was it Haki?

Kuina decided to go and ask her father about it.

On the other side.

Dragon and Ivankov returned and met with Koushiro.

"How was it?"

Seeing the two of them return, Koushiro smiled and asked.

"A promising young man."

Dragon nodded.

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

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

Koushiro nodded upon hearing this.

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

Ivankov, who had been listening, nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Dragon say that.

"That kid is a Logia user?"

Ivankov was dumbfounded.

Devil Fruits were not exactly common produce, let alone Logia types.

The three top-tier Logia powerhouses of the Navy were far too famous across the seas, and their strength was immense.

"It is very likely."

Dragon nodded.

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

Ivankov was clearly tempted.

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

"It's difficult! That young man's gaze is off; it's just as Koushiro described."

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 sense of innate superiority is always there."

Dragon sighed.

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

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

Koushiro smiled and changed the subject.

"That's true!"

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

After Dunn returned, he channeled his Haki and managed to maintain it.

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

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

He even intended to try Emission onto his Flame, though, of course, he did not succeed.

Regarding the cultivation of Haki, aside from planning to ask Koushiro for guidance later, Dunn intended to keep it active 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 rate was not fast.

However, unlike Observation Haki, Armament Haki was a massive drain on physical stamina.

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