Rocks Personally Teaches Them-Conqueror's Haki Coating

[ Ding~ Host's Observation Haki has reached the top tier. Gained: Future Sight! ]

The system's notification rang out, and Rono felt as if he were hearing the sweetest music!

As his Observation Haki reached the top tier, he had actually awakened a special form of Observation Haki-Future Sight.

It was a special ability of Observation Haki.

In the original story, Katakuri had focused all his efforts on training his Observation Haki and had cultivated it to this level.

He could foresee the near future!

Ordinary Observation Haki sharpened the five senses, allowing one to better perceive changes in the surrounding environment, living creatures, and auras.

It could also predict an opponent's actions, allowing one to dodge in advance.

But it had a weakness: if an opponent had plenty of combat experience and deliberately feinted, the prediction could fail, leading to defeat or even death!

But the special form of Observation Haki known as Future Sight allowed one to see a certain future!

One let you predict an opponent's moves and then dodge, while the other let you see the future for certain and act accordingly!

It was obvious at a glance which was more useful!

"I didn't expect this surprise. Now my weakness of lacking combat experience has been completely made up for!"

Rono was extremely pleased with this unexpected boon and couldn't help nodding.

The next moment, Rono began releasing his Observation Haki, intending to test out the ability.

His already sharp five senses reached a new level.

Every blade of grass and every tree within several hundred meters, as well as the hushed conversations of the Rocks Pirates outside his room, appeared in his mind.

The next second, two members of the Rocks Pirates would start fighting because one had dirtied the other's clothes.

The second after that, the guy with the Dog-Dog Fruit, Jackal Form, would strike first.

The second after that, all the surrounding Rocks Pirates would gather to watch, and no one would step in to stop the impending fight.

Then, the guy in Jackal Form would kill his opponent with a single swipe of his claws, bringing the farce to an end.

Immediately afterward, everything happened just as Rono had foreseen!

"Interesting... No wonder this technique can only be mastered with top-tier Observation Haki."

Rono couldn't help marveling at how useful Future Sight was.

In terms of prestige, the Voice of All Things might be far more impressive than briefly seeing the future.

But in terms of how much it helped in battle, Future Sight completely outclassed the Voice of All Things!

"The Celestial Dragons must die. Not one of them will get away!"

Rono's eyes blazed with fury. There were nineteen Celestial Dragons!

Whether or not you call yourselves gods, not one of you will survive this time!

"Hm? Someone's coming! Rocks sent them to find me!"

Soon, Rono's Future Sight foresaw the near future once again.

In a moment, someone would appear outside his room and tell him that Rocks was summoning the commanders again.

Sure enough, a voice soon came from outside Rono's room.

"Captain Rono, Captain Rocks is calling for you."

"I'll be right there."

Rono got himself ready, then went to see Rocks.

When he arrived, Rono saw that Whitebeard, Shiki, Silver Axe, Ochoku, and the other division commanders were already there.

"Didn't we just disperse? Why's Captain Rocks calling us again? What does he want?"

Shiki couldn't help grumbling quietly.

"Don't know. Maybe there's some new information," John guessed from beside him.

"Maybe the captain changed his plans?" Silver Axe speculated as well.

Whitebeard, Ochoku, and the others also shook their heads, unsure why Rocks had called them together again.

"He's going to teach us a technique: Conqueror's Haki Coating!"

Just then, Rono smiled faintly. He had already seen the near future.

In a moment, Rocks would appear here and demonstrate Conqueror's Haki Coating for them.

"How did you know...?" The other division commanders were all confused.

As soon as the words left their mouths, a swift figure suddenly appeared before them like a ghost.

"I called you here to show you Conqueror's Haki Coating again!"

Rocks appeared before them, looked around, and spoke.

"Rono... How did you know?"

After Rocks spoke, the commanders all turned to look at Rono!

Their eyes held confusion, shock, and speculation!

How had this guy known why the captain had summoned them?

Could Rocks have told him in advance?

"Oh? Interesting. Have you awakened Future Sight, a form of Observation Haki?"

Rocks understood immediately, after all, he'd heard what Rono had just said.

"Future Sight? A special form of Observation Haki?"

Hearing Rocks, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Ochoku, John, and Charlotte Linlin were all startled.

They had heard of this advanced form of Observation Haki, but awakening it required devoting nearly all one's effort to training Observation Haki.

With the ambition these monsters had, they couldn't possibly devote all their efforts to training Observation Haki.

They still had to train Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, Swordsmanship, and other abilities.

Everyone looked at Rono differently now.

After all, Rono was also a powerful fighter who had mastered Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and Swordsmanship.

Yet he'd awakened Future Sight ahead of them, making them very envious.

This guy's talent really was monster-level.

"Last time, I taught you Conqueror's Haki Coating. Have you learned it yet?"

Rocks then spoke, turning his gaze toward the other commanders, excluding Rono.

Only Whitebeard and Golden Lion met Rocks's gaze without fear.

Clearly, the two of them had nearly mastered it.

Silver Axe, John, Ochoku, and Charlotte Linlin lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Rocks had taught them half a year ago, yet they still hadn't learned it.

It wasn't their fault. This sort of thing required talent.

Clearly, Whitebeard and Shiki were far more talented than Silver Axe, Ochoku, and even Charlotte Linlin.

"I'll teach it again. Watch closely."

Perhaps Rocks had already expected this, because he didn't blame them. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Rono.

Rono was his main target this time.

If Rono could learn Conqueror's Haki Coating before the great battle, it would greatly benefit the Rocks Pirates.

Rocks had actually wanted to teach Rono Conqueror's Haki Coating a long time ago, but he hadn't been at Hachinosu for the past three months.

Still, given Rono's talent, teaching him now should be in time.

"Conqueror's Haki Coating and Armament Haki Ryuo are actually similar in principle."

"Both can destroy an enemy from within!"

"But Conqueror's Haki Coating has two advantages over Ryuo."

"First, it can strike from a distance, without needing to touch the enemy!"

"Second, it multiplies the power of the blow!"

With that, Rocks released his Conqueror's Haki.

A Dark Red Aura coiled around his right hand, radiating terrifying energy.

Rocks threw a punch, aiming at a boulder dozens of meters tall, a hundred meters away.

Boom!

Though it was a hundred meters away, the boulder exploded and shattered!

That wasn't all. The terrifying shock wave spread out from the boulder, leaving a deep, horrifying crater in the ground!
