Garp's Teachings: The Haki Power of the Marine Hero!

Marine Headquarters.

Inside the Fleet Admiral's office.

Sengoku had finished dealing with the tedious documents. He got up, walked over to Garp, and snatched the bag of rice crackers from his hand.

"Ah, Sengoku, you old bastard! You stole my rice crackers!" Garp shot to his feet and roared.

Seeing Garp's anger, Sengoku did not take it seriously at all. He leisurely sat down on the sofa and began eating the rice crackers.

"Garp, was what you just said true? That marine named Roya could wield Conqueror's Haki freely after only a little over three months?" Sengoku asked.

Right after parting ways with Roya, Garp had come here immediately and told Sengoku about him.

"Seriously, Sengoku, what am I supposed to say about you? You're the Fleet Admiral. Haven't you even looked into the marines under your command? I really don't know how you became Fleet Admiral." Garp swiftly snatched his bag of rice crackers back from Sengoku's hand and even began mocking him.

"So you remember I'm the Fleet Admiral? Do you know how many marines there are at Marine Headquarters? Besides, there are so many affairs to handle. How could I know every single marine clearly? If you're so capable, you be the Fleet Admiral!" Sengoku snapped back irritably.

"Hahahaha, no thanks. I'll just be a vice admiral. Look how free and comfortable I am now. Unlike you—your hair is obviously white, yet you deliberately dye it black. At your age, can you stop putting on airs, Sengoku?" Garp continued his merciless mockery.

"Shut up!"

"You're an old bastard too!"

"Garp, since that Roya is a genius, make sure you teach him well. Our Marines are counting on the new generation."

After saying that, Sengoku reached out and snatched the rice cracker bag from Garp's hand again, only to discover that Garp had already eaten them all.

Suppressing his anger, Sengoku calmed himself and asked, "By the way, Garp, have you heard about that pirate in the East Blue recently..."

Early the next morning.

As agreed, Roya arrived at Garp's training ground.

However, the first people he saw were not Garp, but Koby and Helmeppo.

"Big Brother Roya!"

"Hello, my name is Koby, and this is my friend Helmeppo!"

"Helmeppo and I apologize for our recklessness yesterday. We're truly very sorry."

Koby pulled Helmeppo along and bowed to Roya in apology. Koby's attitude was quite sincere, while Helmeppo looked rather unwilling.

"It's fine. How are you two? Are you all right?" Roya replied politely.

"Big Brother Roya, Vice Admiral Garp told me that the power you used to defeat me yesterday was Conqueror's Haki, a power that only one person in a million might possess. You're incredible!" Koby said excitedly, looking every bit the devoted fan.

"Hmph."

Helmeppo, standing beside him, was still unconvinced. "It's just Conqueror's Haki. I definitely have it too—I just haven't awakened it yet."

Roya could not be bothered with Helmeppo and did not take him seriously at all. Instead, he began chatting casually with Koby.

Before long, Garp arrived.

"What are you doing here? Don't you need to train?" Garp barked sternly.

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

Roya, Koby, and the others called out respectfully.

"Koby, Helmeppo, your performance yesterday disappointed me greatly. Today's training will be doubled—no, tripled. If you fail to finish it, don't even think about eating or sleeping." Garp roared.

Koby and Helmeppo had no way to argue and could only leave dejectedly to train.

"Roya, come with me," Garp said to Roya.

Roya nodded without saying much and followed Garp out.

Soon.

Garp led Roya away from Marine Headquarters to a desolate mountain.

Although he did not know what Garp intended, Roya did not ask and simply followed him here.

"Roya, your talent is excellent. To master Conqueror's Haki proficiently and use it freely in just over three months is truly rare."

"However, Conqueror's Haki is innate and cannot be acquired through later training. Therefore, the two types of Haki used more widely in battle are the other two."

"They are Observation Haki and Armament Haki."

"Today, I brought you here mainly to demonstrate and explain these two types of Haki."

Garp explained it all to Roya very seriously.

Of course.

Roya certainly already knew this basic knowledge, but he did not interrupt. After all, Garp deserved the appropriate respect.

"First is Observation Haki. Watch carefully." As Garp spoke, he picked up a huge boulder and lightly punched it into a pile of gravel. Then he wrapped the pieces in cloth and tossed them all into the air.

As the gravel rained down, Garp instead closed his eyes, appearing exceptionally calm.

Unsurprisingly, with the help of Garp's Observation Haki, the stones fell like a torrential downpour yet did not touch him even once. He dodged them all with ease.

Roya was not surprised by this display. He had already mastered Observation Haki, and the system had even activated automatic training for him. After a night's automatic training, Roya believed he could also reach this level with ease.

"This is the foundation of Observation Haki. If you train it to the extreme, you can foresee the short-term future. As for that, I won't demonstrate it further," Garp explained.

"Next is Armament Haki!"

"First, Armament Haki coating. Besides enhancing your own strength, Armament Haki can also be used against Logia Devil Fruit users and allow you to capture their physical bodies."

Garp clenched the iron fist he was so proud of. In an instant, his fist turned completely black. That was the coating and wrapping of Armament Haki.

"Of course, this is only the most basic application. I'm merely demonstrating it for you."

"Next."

"I'll show you what kind of power Armament Haki Emission possesses once Armament Haki has been trained to its peak."

Garp smiled with great confidence. He slowly walked toward a small mountain in the distance, breathing into his fist as he walked. After making a brief preparation, Garp threw a punch directly at the mountain.

Then.

BOOM...

With a thunderous explosion, the entire mountain split apart.

Garp's fist had not touched the mountain at all. An invisible force suddenly burst from his fist and struck the mountain, dismembering the entire mountain in just one second.

Holy shit!

Was this the legendary power of the Marine Hero!?
