Can Someone Really Be Too Stupid to Learn Armament Haki? / Haki Animation: Automatic Defense

Sigma quickly shrunk in size, transforming back into a young dragon. "Fine, I won't eat anymore. I'm going to sleep. Ha, this Shichibukai is useless now, do whatever you want with him."

Having said that, he flew up to his personal watchtower and drifted off to sleep contentedly.

Ain's words came:

"Why did you capture a Shichibukai? This person is backed by Kaido, one of the Four Emperors."

Chapter 81 Even the dumbest person can't learn Armament Haki?

Sigma raised his left eyelid, stretched as if he were tired, and then scratched himself with his paw.

Ain showed absolutely no mercy:

"Alright, you've wasted five seconds. Have you thought of an answer yet?"

Sigma was slightly embarrassed; when people are embarrassed, they tend to subconsciously make themselves appear very busy.

To be precise, this applies not only to humans but also to dogs.

"Did your master tell you to ask me this?"

"Yes."

"I just happened to run into that Shichibukai on my way; he was robbing someone at a black market."

Sigma then briefly recounted his experience from the previous night.

On the other side.

After teleporting back to the Sabaody Archipelago, Dimon learned from Ain that Sigma had returned.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually captured a Shichibukai along the way.

After hearing the other party's explanation, he was speechless for a moment.

What a coincidence! One thing leads to another. If he wasn't the mastermind behind it all, he would have suspected that someone was setting him up.

What to do with the "Lizard King" Hanafuda has become the problem.

There's no way we're going to let them go. They've already been arrested; there's no reason to just let them go.

Despite the fact that their opponent was Kaido's friend and had another Four Emperors backing them, the Seven Deadly Sins had never been afraid of a fight.

"Act as hostages and demand ransom from Kaido?"

Dimon immediately thought of this, but it was quickly rejected.

Kaido has always tried to build an army of Zoan users, and even if he really has Devil Fruit, he will reward them to his promising subordinates as soon as possible.

Moreover, Kaido doesn't seem like someone who can be threatened, and Hanafuda and Lola are of different importance.

"Using Hanafuda to threaten Kaido is a complete waste of time. Forget Hanafuda, even capturing his daughter Yamato wouldn't work."

"He'll sit idly by and watch Hanafuda die, then find a chance to avenge him. That's the kind of thing Kaido would do."

After a moment's thought, Dimon quickly came up with an idea.

This guy can be used as a guinea pig for the next experiment.

However, there's no rush now. We need to see how Samael performs next to see if he can successfully Awakening his Haki.

Thinking of this, he immediately gave an order.

"Lock them up. You all head to the Sky Island first to collect enough gold."

The sound was transmitted to the Wave-Breaking Warrior through Thought Waves.

After making the arrangements, Dimon temporarily set aside his concerns about the Seven Deadly Sins and began his personal training.

The outside world is in turmoil due to the activities of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Charlotte Katakuri and her group successfully evacuated Dressrosa and are expected to return to Whole Cake Island in a few days.

After the failed capture operation, Kizaru did not return to Punk Hazard, but instead went to the Holy Land Mary Geoise. He had a new mission: to escort Vegapunk to the Navy Research Laboratory 8.

Before leaving, he was summoned by the Five Elders.

At this moment, Room of Authority.

"... I have finished reporting all the information regarding the Samael the Wrathful."

"Even you can't handle him?"

Saint Saturn's tone was displeased, tinged with suspicion. "You didn't hold back, did you, Borsalino!"

Saint Saturn was well aware that Kizaru often shirked his duties and let the enemy off easy.

But those were all minor issues, not important to the overall situation, and he was too lazy to blame anyone. But this time was a little different.

Based on the intelligence gathered during this period, this mysterious force poses a significant threat and must be closely monitored.

"I really fought him seriously, and I just couldn't beat him."

Kizaru was somewhat helpless. What about trust between people? He rarely put in his best effort, yet he was doubted.

"Hmph, I'll assume what you said is true. But..."

Saint Saturn frowned deeply. "How did they manage that? Even an Awakening Logia user couldn't be completely immune to Armament Haki attacks."

"I actually have a guess about this," Kizaru calmly reported, "Perhaps the person I fought back then was just a clone."

"You mean Logia clone? How could a clone possibly fight you on equal terms?" Saint Nusjuro, the Warrior God of Finance wielding a knife and one of the Five Elders, asked in a deep voice.

Kizaru couldn't figure it out either. "I don't know, but his Elementalization isn't truly invincible. It can still be suppressed by seawater and Seastone, so we must be well-prepared to deal with him next time."

"Alright, you can go now. Escort Vegapunk to Egghead."

With a wave of his hand, Saint Saturn dismissed Kizaru.

After everyone left, he stared at the wanted poster on the table, his eyes slightly narrowed.

What are your thoughts on the Seven Deadly Sins?

The old man with the goatee remained calm and composed, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Their deal with Big Mom has been confirmed; it's for Devil Fruit. If that's the case, then things are much easier."

Devil Fruit are indeed rare in the lower realms; even the Four Emperors don't have many.

But to their World Government, it was just a type of resource piled up in a warehouse.

"Set a trap and wait patiently for the fish to take the bait."

The next day, early morning.

The chirping of birds drifted through the curtains, and Dimon snapped out of his meditative state.

He raised his right palm, channeling his Haki. Accompanied by invisible energy fluctuations, the Haki materialized, turning pitch black, as if his arm were encased in hard armor.

"The application of Armament Haki is surprisingly simple. If you grasp the knack, anyone can learn it, right?"

He learned it in just one day.

Dimon couldn't help but think of Luffy. Rayleigh had been teaching him for two years; what exactly had he been teaching him?

"Master, you are a genius."

With Big Eye, it flapped its wings and flew to the side to offer its congratulations.

"There's no need to make a fuss. Even the dumbest person can learn Armament Haki, right?"

Dimon shook his head, got up, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The Big Eye stood frozen in place, as if his owner was calling on him.

To be honest, he had been watching his master cultivate the whole time, but he knew nothing about how to Awakening Haki.

Unlike Mammon, he couldn't easily gain control just by getting kicked by Zephyr.

"Thank goodness I'm not human, I'm a demon, so my master definitely isn't targeting me. Yes, that's it!"

Big Eye consoled himself.

At the same time.

In the bathroom.

Dimon stood under the shower, showing off his impressive eight-pack abs, washing away the grime from his body while pondering a thought from the past.

"Animation the domineering Haki..."

He has now successfully Awakening his Haki. In the future, he will only need to rely on his own hard work and the insignificant help provided by the Longevity Wine to cultivate to an extremely powerful realm sooner or later.

But.

Why not give it a try?

Exploring the limits of Animation has always been his daily task.

Even if he fails, he'll only lose one day's usage chance, which is a small matter to him.

"Animation!"

With this in mind, Dimon gathered his Haki in his hand and then activated his talent.

A golden light flowed into his palm, imbuing it with Haki energy, which gradually merged with it.

The forces of black and gold intertwine and ultimately merge into one.

"You already possess a mature and Haki; you need to learn to cultivate it on your own."

Dimon spoke softly, waiting a moment, but received no response from Haki.

It is neither like Devil Fruit that has Animation to life and gain intelligence, nor like A Breath of Fresh Wind or a wisp of mist that can understand human speech.

"Did it fail? Was my Animation level insufficient, or is Animation Haki simply impossible?"

Dimon fell into deep thought.

Carefully sensing the Haki energy in his hand, he gradually noticed something amiss.

"Huh? What's this...?"

Chapter 82 The Animation of Haki, Autonomous Defense

Has the Haki become stronger?

Dimon calmed down and carefully sensed it; the Haki energy in his palm had indeed increased slightly.

However, that's not the point. This slight increase is not as significant as the boost he would get from drinking an extra cup of Longevity Wine and cultivating for a few more days.

What truly made him realize the difference was that his Haki seemed to be evolving into a "passive ability"...

"You can actually do that?"

This discovery greatly surprised Dimon, who quickly finished his shower and returned to the living room.

"Big Eye, attack me!"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this request, Big Eye was momentarily stunned.

Dimon repeated, "To test a certain strength, attack freely, without using any abilities, just use brute force."

Although he didn't understand, Big Eye faithfully carried out the orders.

"Yes, Master."

He flapped his wings and, in the shape of a paper airplane, crashed straight into Dimon's chest.

The force of this blow is enough to break a wooden board; if it hits a human body without warning, an ordinary person would have several ribs broken.

Caught completely off guard, Dimon dropped all his defensive stance.

Just as the paper airplane was about to hit him, a surge of Haki suddenly flowed within him, forming an invisible shield at the point of impact.
