"A total of 420 million. The Supernovas of this era really aren't much."
Holding a bank card from the pirate world, Ye Yang curled his lips in disappointment.
The three Supernovas together were worth only 420 million, quite a bit less than those of the wicked era when Monkey D. Luffy set sail.
When he returned to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, it was as deserted as ever. Shakky sat at the counter, reading a newspaper out of boredom, while Rayleigh sat at a table with five bottles of rum on it.
Rayleigh glanced up at Ye Yang and grinned. "Hey, young Ye Yang, back so soon?"
"Yeah." Ye Yang smiled and nodded.
Rayleigh sprang to his feet and looked at Ye Yang intently. "Then let's start training."
Having finally obtained news of Roger's Orphan, he could no longer sit still for even a moment.
Ye Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at him with some surprise. "In such a hurry?"
Rayleigh scratched his head with a goofy grin. "Well, it's training. Naturally, the sooner we start, the better. Hahaha!"
On a broad stretch of grass.
Rayleigh put aside his usual lazy demeanor, his expression solemn. Looking at Ye Yang standing opposite him, he asked in a low voice, "Do you know anything about the Three Types of Haki?"
Ye Yang shrugged and said casually, "I know roughly what they do."
"Good. That saves me some effort. Then I'll start by teaching you how to train the Three Types of Haki."
Rayleigh adjusted his reading glasses, his gaze earnest. "Of the Three Types of Haki, Conqueror's Haki is the most unusual. You're born with it, and you can't acquire it through training, so I can't teach you that one. The other two types can be acquired through training, but it's extremely difficult. You should prepare yourself."
"Armament Haki is a tangible manifestation of a person's spirit. It can be used for attack and defense, and it can also strike Logia users in their fluid forms... I'll demonstrate it for you. Watch carefully."
As Rayleigh spoke, he extended a hand, and his arm turned pitch-black in an instant. Neither the speed of the coating nor its hardness was anything Lei Jia's earlier display could compare with.
At some point, Ye Yang's bright black eyes had turned into three-tomoe Sharingan, staring fixedly at Rayleigh's pitch-black arm.
After a while, he extended his arm as well and called out softly, "Armament coating!"
Watching his movements, Rayleigh shook his head with a smile. "Young man, you can't rush this. Armament Haki isn't that easy to learn. Ordinary people need at least several months to gain an initial grasp of it, and you want to do it in just a few minutes... What?!!"
Halfway through his words, Rayleigh's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with shock!
He saw pitch-black Armament Haki creeping over Ye Yang's outstretched arm bit by bit, at an extremely slow pace.
Although the coating formed very slowly and was also very weak, there was no denying that it was indeed Armament Haki!
Rayleigh gulped with difficulty. "...Ye Yang, have you really never learned Armament Haki before?"
Ye Yang shook his head and answered truthfully, "No."
"You... really are a little monster!"
This time, Rayleigh was utterly stunned. Even the most gifted person he had ever met had taken over half a year to gain an initial command of Armament Haki.
And Ye Yang? He had taken only a few minutes! And he had started from scratch!
Compared with him, all those so-called geniuses were a load of crap!
Seeing Rayleigh's shocked expression, Ye Yang smiled unconcernedly.
Learning with the Sharingan had merely been an experiment. After all, although the Sharingan could copy ninjutsu and taijutsu from the Naruto world, it might not be able to copy techniques from the pirate world.
Yet, to his surprise, the experiment had actually succeeded.
Although it was only at the most basic level, he had successfully copied Armament Haki!
He withdrew the Armament Haki coating his arm, deactivated his Sharingan, and tried again, successfully using Armament Haki once more.
After experimenting several times and confirming that he could freely control his Armament Haki, Ye Yang stopped testing it. He turned to Rayleigh with a faint smile. "Uncle Rayleigh, I've learned Armament Haki. Please teach me Observation Haki next."
At that, Rayleigh came back to his senses and nodded helplessly. "All right... Observation Haki mainly works by sensing an opponent's presence to predict their next move, allowing you to dodge and counterattack. How about this? Try attacking me."
Ye Yang nodded, the corners of his mouth lifting. "All right. You'd better be careful, then, old man."
"Don't worry. My Observation Haki is very well trained. As long as you don't use your full strength, I won't get hurt... Oof!"
Before he could finish, Ye Yang sent him flying with a straight punch, and he landed face-first on the grass.
Rayleigh stood up, clutching his red, swollen nose, and glared at Ye Yang in pain. "You brat, didn't I tell you not to use your full strength?"
Ye Yang spread his hands helplessly. "But I didn't use my full strength. I only used half. I thought you'd be able to dodge it, old man."
"Half your strength? Are you messing with me?" Rayleigh looked unconvinced.
Although it had been a surprise attack, he was still an expert in Observation Haki. He was confident he could block even Kizaru's light-speed attacks, yet Ye Yang claimed he could send him flying with half his strength? What a joke!
"If you don't believe me, I'll attack you once at full strength."
The corners of Ye Yang's mouth lifted, and a hint of cunning flashed through his eyes.
The next instant, his figure became a black blur. He appeared before Rayleigh in a flash, raised his fist, and drove it toward his face!
Thump!
Another solid punch landed. Rayleigh still had no time to block and was sent flying once again.
