Mastering Conqueror's Coating!

Harald himself sensed the difference. He didn't know exactly what the Angel Fruit was, but the resurrection was real.

Why did you resurrect me?

"Interesting. You wouldn't have asked this kind of question before. Is this how you treat your savior?"

"The past me is dead. I killed myself, and almost killed Elbaf too!"

Harald rose from the coffin, his entire face shrouded in shadow.

This is probably what they call turning to the dark side... You never know what an honest person might do when they get angry... Dimon just hopes that little brother Imu likes this gift.

Thinking of this, he slowly said:

"I resurrected you, sacrificing a fine and loyal subordinate; this didn't come for free."

What do you want?

Harald has become corrupted, but deep down he remains a kind and grateful person.

"As long as it's within my power and doesn't harm Elbaf, I will do everything in my power to satisfy you."

"Every gift of fate comes with a price. As the first price for my resurrection, I need your blood, and the blood of your son."

"Hajrudin? What do you want our blood, father and son's blood, for?"

Harald was puzzled; having died once, he had now learned to think the worst of people.

Does this savior intend to control him through blood?

Just like Imu controls him through Contract.

"For scientific research, to unravel the genetic secrets of Conqueror's Haki." Dimon naturally wouldn't tell the truth; brewing wine with Conqueror's blood was a closely guarded secret.

"By the way, the son I was referring to as your son is Loki. He's out there right now, probably fighting with someone, isn't he?"

Upon hearing Loki's name, Harald's expression immediately changed.

What happened after his death? Why was Loki fighting with people? Was it an enemy attack, or a battle with the giants of Elbaf?

How long has he been dead?

"Thank you for your resurrection. I agree to your conditions. Now, please give me some time!"

Having said that, Harald immediately rushed out of the treasury and headed out of the castle.

"Master, will he obediently give us blood? He's not planning to run away, is he?" Hongjue maliciously speculated. "Then hand him over to me, I'll suck him dry!"

"No, he's an honest man. Once he promises, he'll definitely keep his word."

Dimon turned his gaze to Big Eyes beside him and gave the order:

"He lives with me."

The Big Eye shot straight at Dimon's chest and eventually disappeared into it.

Dimon has once again become Devil Fruit User, Storyboard Human.

"Let's go, we're probably about to see a good show."

Harald rushed out of the treasure vault and headed straight for the castle.

Wherever he went, there were signs of destruction. He felt extremely heavy-hearted, as he felt guilty for making Loki bear the name of patricide.

Observation Haki to probe the surrounding area, he suddenly sensed two giant soldiers ahead.

The two sides met between the thrones.

The two guards, who had been intimidated by Dimon's Haki and unable to move for a while, only regained their mobility now and immediately entered the castle to search.

When they saw Harald, they were completely stunned.

He stared in disbelief at the portrait in the center of the hall, his gaze shifting back and forth between Harald and the portrait.

One of them shouted:

"Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating His Majesty Harald!?"

"That's right, full of flaws! His Majesty Harald has long since lost his horns and has been dead for nine years. Your disguise is too poor!"

Harald was momentarily speechless.

Someone resurrected him?

He didn't even have time to ask about his benefactor's identity or name, and besides, this ability wasn't suitable for everyone to know, as it might cause trouble for his benefactor.

Thinking of this, Harald spoke in a deep voice:

"It was the god of Elbaf who brought me back from the underworld. Now is not the time for explanations; I must stop the battle outside!"

After saying that, Harald unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki, instantly stunning the two soldiers.

He then rushed out of the castle without lingering.

When he arrived outside the castle, he looked up and saw a black dragon that blotted out the sky.

That was the forbidden fruit of Elbaf, Nidhogg, who made Loki eat it before he died.

Fortunately, Loki fulfilled his request; otherwise... this fruit would surely have fallen into the hands of the World Government.

At this moment, fighting the black dragon is an old friend, an old man who fights with an axe.

Seeing this, Harald took a deep breath and roared:

"Loki, Gaban, stop! I'm here!!"

The roar echoed in all directions, startling countless giants.

Above, Loki heard that familiar voice and looked up in disbelief.

Gaban also froze for a moment, looking back in the direction of the castle.

"Pops, you're actually alive!"

"King Harald...!?"

Chapter 174 Mastering the Conqueror's Coating!

I witnessed a miracle!

Loki had learned from Dimon beforehand that he would resurrect his father, so his first reaction upon seeing Harald was, "Is my Pops really alive?"

Gaban, on the other hand, was different. A person who had been dead for nine years reappeared before him. A normal person's reaction...

"Desecration of the dead!"

Gaban charged at Harald in Wrath.

His figure darted between the rooftops of the giant village, his Conqueror's Haki surging around him, and streaks of black and red Inazuma coiled around the axe in his hand.

In a short time, he traversed more than ten kilometers and arrived in front of Harald.

"Wait, Gaban, I am..." Harald realized what Gaban was about to do and tried to stop him.

"Shut up! You imposter!"

Gaban gripped his giant axe tightly with both hands and unleashed a strike Inazuma with Conqueror's Haki towards Harald.

"Ax Heaven Raku!"

Seeing the attack coming at him, Harald had no choice but to throw a punch to meet it.

The same Conqueror's Haki Coating as he unleashed a punch.

The axe and fist did not collide directly; instead, a crimson energy ball was created between them.

Boom!!

Amidst the deafening roar, the fierce battle between the two overlords erupted, their Conqueror's Haki soaring into the sky.

Like a typhoon passing through, the Shockwave swept through the entire West Village, even affecting the black dragon Loki in the sky.

A soaring, Conqueror's Haki tore through the clouds, creating a rift in the sky that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

The rolling black clouds swirled back, as if the sky had been cleaved open by this force.

"Finally, we've seen it; it's a crucial part of the evaluation process that One Pirate King has to go through..."

At the top of the castle, Dimon stood atop the tower, looking up at the torn sky.

This is a scene that only appears when top-tier masters who have mastered the art of Conqueror's Coating engage in battle.

"So that's how 'Conqueror's Coating' is used..."

He looked down at his palms, where streaks of black and red Inazuma crackled and crackled.

After witnessing two masters of the Conqueror's Coating clash with his own eyes, he finally understood how to use it.

If I had seen it sooner, I might have learned it much earlier.

It's definitely better to see things for yourself. It's easier to learn new knowledge when someone demonstrates it. Who knows how long it would take to figure it out on your own?

Dimon smiled slightly, then clenched his fist, instantly annihilating the Conqueror's Haki Inazuma within his palm.

"I've learned it!"

At this moment, he truly mastered the Conqueror's Haki's Haki.

On the other side.

Gaban and Harald exchanged a blow, and Jabba was surprised to find himself at a disadvantage in the Haki confrontation.

"Hahaha, that Conqueror's Haki... You really are King Harald! How are you still alive?"

"I said I am Harald!"

Harald sighed inwardly, "Although it's a bizarre story, I have indeed come back to life."

"This is simply a miracle!"

In his youth, Gaban traveled all over the world, witnessing the wonders of the world and even reaching the Laugh Tale, where he learned about the Void Century and many of the secrets of the World Government.

He knew of at least two Devil Fruits that could grant the ability to "come back to life."

Paramecia - Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit).

Paramecia - Coffin-Coffin Fruit.

The former can only revive the user of the ability, and the latter is the same.

More accurately, the Coffin-Coffin Fruit allows a person to be resurrected by using another person's body.

A corpse needs to be placed in a black coffin made by the ability user beforehand. When the ability user dies, their soul will not go to the underworld, but will first enter the coffin and be resurrected in the corpse.

The Harald before him clearly did not fall into either of the two categories that Gaban knew.

How did you come back to life?

Don't ask about this yet.

As soon as Harald finished speaking, the black dragon in the sky shrank in size and turned back into Loki.

He arrived at the castle gate, stood at the foot of the steps, and looked up at Harald above the steps with a complicated expression.

Loki, my son... it's been a long time.

After struggling for a while, Harald could only manage to say, "It's been a long time."

He had so much to say, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Pops, are you really Pops?" Loki hadn't forgotten their last meeting, when Harald was being controlled by the World Government and went berserk.

The Seven Deadly Sins resurrected his father, who knows, it might be another form of control...

Harald shook his head:

"I am fine now, perfectly conscious, and I am who I am, your father!"

As they were talking, the giant villagers of West Village began to gather in the direction of the castle.

An expression of disbelief crossed everyone's face.

"King Harald?"
