Conqueror's Haki! And Yamato

"No."

Akainu shook his head. "After the battle of Pirate Island, those people completely disappeared. Nobody knows where they went."

"But has World really become that powerful?"

"I was on vacation before," said the Garp the Hero with some surprise.

He clearly remembered that back then, World, aside from being a bit reckless, wasn't exactly a troublesome pirate.

"He's far more powerful than he was twenty years ago, and he's even gained a second ability."

Zephyr paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Besides, that guy's personality has changed a lot. I even doubt if he's really World."

Oh, Professor Zephyr is quite perceptive.

"Hahaha, we'll see once we catch him!"

Garp chuckled and said, "I'll stay in the New World for a while. If they show up, I'll go with you."

"It's not that easy."

Zephyr shook his head. "Even with a ship, World's mobility is something we can't catch up to."

You'll only know if you try!

Garp the Hero's smile remained unchanged.

No wonder he's King Luffy's grandfather; his optimism is inherited from him.

It doesn't matter, Luna and her team have been keeping a very low profile lately and will definitely not show up at sea.

"By the way, Garp,"

Zephyr finally remembered the important matter, "If you have time, could you give Naito some pointers? That kid Awakening Conqueror's Haki, but nobody taught him, and he's using it very crudely."

"Oh! Sengoku told me about this name!"

Garp the Hero turned his head, his gaze instantly locking onto Naito. "It's you, isn't it?"

"Vice Admiral Garp."

Naito raised his hand in salute.

"Mmm! Not bad, not bad!"

Garp sized up Naito, nodding repeatedly, "Even better than Kuzan when he was young!"

"Because I'm destined to become Fleet Admiral."

Naito said matter-of-factly.

"Fleet Admiral?"

Garp frowned immediately, looking disgusted, and said, "That position is incredibly demanding, with no freedom, and you're constantly being bullied. You should find someone else!"

"Hey, Garp."

Zephyr was speechless. "Don't crush this kid's dream."

"Hahaha! Okay!"

Garp laughed and nodded, looking at Naito, "Kid, Zephyr has spoken, so it's my turn to give you Conqueror's Haki training!"

Is it finally coming?

He did train Aokiji and Koby, and he also laid a solid foundation for Luffy. Hopefully, he can reach a five-point level of Teacher Kaido's skill.

Chapter 57 About Conqueror's Haki! With Yamato

Garp is indeed a decisive man; if he's going to lecture, he'll start teaching right away.

He took Naito downstairs and out through the back door of the base building to a secluded beach.

The seawater crashed against the rocks, bringing with it a salty, fishy smell on the sea breeze.

"Hahaha! Come on, kid!"

Garp the Hero casually took off the Justice Coat draped over his shoulders and tossed it to his adjutant, the legendary swordsman Bogard, who had come with him.

This was a man Naito couldn't help but take a second look at.

One of the characters in the original work who hides his true strength the most, always playing high-level matches, and always only drawing his sword without actually using it.

"Unleash your Conqueror's Haki to the fullest extent, and let me see just how powerful you are!"

"Good."

Naito nodded slightly, and in the next instant, his violent aura spread out like a tidal wave.

The turbulent waves calmed down, and a fierce wind swept across the entire coastline.

"Hmm..."

Bogard, who had stepped aside while holding Garp's cloak, raised his hand to hold down his hat, which was almost blown away by the wind. Under the brim of the hat, his eyes opened slightly.

As Garp's adjutant, Bogard has followed this naval hero through countless battles for decades, even personally participating in the God Valley Incident. He has encountered almost every powerful figure with a name on the high seas.

Even so, Bogard couldn't help but feel shocked.

What an amazing Conqueror's Haki!

He had seen more powerful Conqueror's Haki before, but to possess this level of Conqueror's Haki at this age was truly unheard of.

Is this the kind of spirit that the new generation of leaders in the navy possesses?

He's even better than Kuzan was back then.

Yes, he was there when Garp was teaching Aokiji; he's a true veteran.

"Oh! Not bad!"

Garp nodded approvingly, "Your talent in Conqueror's Haki is extraordinary!"

Judging from the aura this kid exudes, he shouldn't possess such a high level of Conqueror's Haki at all!

Among the many Conqueror's Haki users Garp has seen, he is absolutely exceptionally gifted.

"Now let's look at control,"

Garp then said, "Concentrate your Conqueror's Haki and attack me!"

"Learn."

Naito replied.

Then, it gathered the scattered torrent of Conqueror's Haki, transforming it into an invisible torrent that directly engulfed Garp.

Garp remained unresponsive, as if a gentle breeze were caressing his face.

"Hmm... that's fine."

Garp nodded slightly. "As far as the timing of your Awakening is concerned, you've controlled it very well."

"Is that so?"

Naito was uncharacteristically slightly embarrassed.

In fact, Conqueror's Haki has been Awakening for over a year.

But I never knew how to control it, and it took me so long to figure it out on my own.

"You should have noticed by now, right? Controlling Conqueror's Haki is much more difficult than Armament Haki,"

Garp said, "Without guidance, many people, even after years of Awakening, will remain stagnant."

Then, he asked curiously, "So how exactly did you manage to achieve this level in such a short time?"

"Although Professor Zephyr doesn't possess Conqueror's Haki, he still offered some advice."

Naito answered without the slightest hint of guilt.

That's just how it is. Even if Zephyr hasn't eaten pork, hasn't he seen a pig run?

Both of his friends possess Conqueror's Haki, and even though he doesn't know much about Conqueror's Haki, he can still offer some advice.

"Hahaha! You're a genius!"

Garp the Hero suddenly burst into laughter, "You actually managed to do this with the guidance of that amateur Zephyr?"

You're bullying Zephyr who doesn't have Conqueror's Haki, right?

Naito's lips twitched slightly. "Mr. Garp, I'm going to get angry if you keep slandering Professor Zephyr."

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry,"

Garp was indeed very approachable; after offering a couple of apologies with a grin, his smile faded slightly. "Alright, let's get down to business."

"The control of Conqueror's Haki can be divided into three stages."

The naval hero held up three fingers. "In the first stage, you can't control your Haki at all. You can only rely on intense emotions to unleash Conqueror's Haki. You can't distinguish between friend and foe, and you can't fully unleash the pressure of your Conqueror's Haki."

"In the second stage, with improved control, one can precisely release Conqueror's Haki, controlling the timing, range, and target with absolute precision. At this point, one is considered a qualified Conqueror's Haki user."

"The third stage is a realm that only true overlords who possess both mental, physical, and technical prowess can reach. At this point, there is no need to deliberately activate Conqueror's Haki; one's spirit and will are completely integrated, and one can be said to be in a state of activation at any time. Most importantly, only after reaching this stage does the intangible spirit possess physical destructive power."

Naito listened attentively.

I've seen these three stages in comics from my past life.

The examples given at the time were that Luffy, who first Awakening Conqueror's Haki Luffy, represented the first stage; Rayleigh in the Sabaody Archipelago demonstrated the second stage; and Shanks represented the third stage.

"Well, Mr. Garp,"

Naito asked seriously, "Which stage of Conqueror's Haki's Coating is required?"

"Oh?"

Garp was slightly surprised. "Zephyr told you all about this?"

He then grinned, "The Conqueror's Haki Coating is a power that only true conquerors are qualified to wield. What do you think?"

"Understood."

Naito nodded slightly.

Of course, one must reach the third stage to be qualified to practice Conqueror's Haki's Coating, since Conqueror's Haki only truly possesses physical destructive power after reaching this stage.

"It doesn't seem that far away."

"You've got quite the nerve, kid. You're nowhere near it."

Garp stroked his chin and said, "You're barely touching the edge of the second stage right now. Let's focus on getting precise control over your Conqueror's Haki first."

"Then what are we waiting for, Mr. Garp?"

Naito, unusually eager, asked, "Where should I begin?"

"The first thing,"

Garp's expression turned serious. "Abandon your method of controlling Conqueror's Haki the same way you control Armament Haki. Conqueror's Haki is the power of spirit and belief! Try to control your aura with your will!"

Wow, it's gotten abstract.
