The ship sailed towards Logue Town.
After Luffy completed his job change, the Straw Hats on the ship began to become irregular again, and could even be said to be idiots.
Gretel looked at Zoro who was exercising like crazy and walked up to him.
"Zoro? Don't you want to practice haki? Then let me tell you how to practice~"
"haki?"
Zoro put down the huge dumbbell in his hand and asked strangely: "Don't you know how to do it?"
Gretel spread his hands and said, "I don't know how to use it, but I know how to practice."
"What? Zoro was shocked. The dumbbell he just put down was unstable and hit his feet directly.
"Ah, it hurts!"
Everyone heard Zoro exclamation, and then they all paid attention.
"What's wrong? You two?"
Luffy asked
"No, nothing. Zoro replied blankly.
After putting away his surprised emotions, Zoro followed Gretel and sat on the table on the deck.
Gretel took a long breath and said slowly: "First of all, I will explain, what is haki!"
"Hey, you two idiots over there, stop playing around and come over and listen!"
"And the one reading the newspaper on the recliner!"
"The one in the kitchen, come out and listen too!"
Gretel——called the person over and started teaching.
"First of all, there are three types of haki in this world, the armament haki, the observation haki, and the king haki!"
"Let's talk about armed haki first: this is a method that can harden the skin and make it harder than steel.
It can be used to attach to the surface of the body to increase defense, or it can be attached to weapons to greatly enhance the capabilities and hardness of weapons!
The black sword behind Hawkeye is one of the supreme sharp knives that he has spent his whole life constantly using armed haki energy!
Of course, the most important thing about Armed haki is that he can capture the body of a person with natural fruit abilities and strike them effectively!
For example, there is a colonel named Smoker in Logue Town. He possesses the natural smoke fruit, which can turn his body into smoke. Ordinary means cannot attack him at all. Only seastones, seawater, and only with armed haki can you attack his body after it turns into smoke!"
"Luffy, do you know why it doesn't hurt when ordinary people hit you, but it hurts when your grandpa hits you? That's because your grandfather possesses the world's top armed haki power. When he hits you, he uses this haki power to cause substantial damage and pain to you!
Luffy said with a surprised look on his face: "Oh, so that's it!" This bad old man actually used some tricks to hit me. Next time I will beat him away!"
Everyone:…
Captain, you are really powerful!"
Gretel pulled everyone's surprised gazes back and said, "The other haki one is called observation haki. This is the ability to predict the opponent's actions. For example, in the battle between Zoro and Hawkeye, all of Zoro's moves were sensed by Hawkeye in advance. Even the Demon Slash could be easily blocked with a knife! Some powerful users of observation haki can even predict the future for a short period of time!"
"Predict the future?"
"Is there really such a powerful person?"
Usopp said
"Then wouldn't there be no chance of winning in a fight with them?"
Sanji also said the same thing
"Yes!"
Gretel affirmed without hesitation.
"As for the last type, the haki called king haki cannot be trained. It is an innate talent, and only one king can emerge among millions of people!"
"Millions of people? Zoro's eyes narrowed. Could he be one of these millions of people?
"So how do you cultivate and acquire these two abilities? Zoro asked.
Gretel sneered and said, "Of course I know how to practice, it just requires some hardship!""
Hearing Gretel's words, Zoro said disdainfully: "If you can't even bear the suffering of training, how can you become the top strong man in the world?"
As an ordinary human being who has practiced the three-sword style, do you know how much effort Zoro put in to pick up the third sword?
He finally sailed away with Kuina's dream, how could he be afraid of this little hardship?
"Come on, Gretel! Think about it! Gretel exhaled smoke and said: "Actually, the method of training is very simple. Either keep fighting or keep getting beaten!""
"Beaten?"
"Why get beaten?"
Usopp asked from the side.
"Of course it is to train your body into steel! Gretel rolled his eyes at Usopp and said, "If we don't have armed Haki users in the ship, then as long as we encounter a natural Devil Fruit user, we will basically be wiped out."
"If we don't have the observation haki, then it's useless no matter how strong we are! Because the opponent will dodge in advance one second before we release! What's the use of a skill that can't hit anyone?"
Gretel asked back.
"Is that so? I understand! Zoro said, tearing off his clothes, revealing his strong body and perfect muscles!
"How to fight, let's start!"
Zoro had almost no hesitation!
He had personally experienced the terrifying pressure from Hawkeye. If there is no haki power, no matter how powerful the sword or sword moves are, it will be useless!
But regarding this, Gretel actually lied to them.. Whether it's Sanji's Hex Ultimatum, or Luffy's deliberate punch or the mythical crow's flight, they can basically pose a great threat to the natural system. It's just that after changing jobs, Sanji and Luffy's bodies are already strong enough to be able to barely practice the armament haki. If you don't practice, you will be really at a loss.
"Look at Zoro working so hard, Sanji, don't you and Luffy feel a little ashamed?"
But with Luffy's face, there shouldn't really be any.
Now that Zoro has reached this point, Gretel can only choose to help him. After that, Gretel picked up Zoro's Wado ijimonji.
"Sanji, come on. Gretel handed Wado ijimonji to Sanji and said: "Hit him with the back of the knife, once a day, until all the skin on his body is red!""
Then, Gretel took off Sauron's turban and covered his eyes.
"You can dodge Sanji's attacks, provided you can sense when he hits you!"
In this way, you can practice not only the perception of observation haki, but also the hardening of armed haki." Sanji, Luffy, as people who have already strengthened their bodies, if you practice armed color, you will easily succeed! So in order to become stronger, you also have to be beaten!"
"The blindfolded one!"
"As for Nami and Usopp, the physical distance between you two is still too far, and you are far from reaching the level of practicing armament color. You can only practice observation haki. Just hit them with branches while blindfolding them!"
In an instant, Gretel had everyone arranged!
Seeing that except Zoro, four people were looking at him fiercely, Gretel always felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of his head.
"What about you, Gretel?"
Luffy, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp asked at the same time,"I…"
Gretel said hesitantly: "As your teacher, of course I don't have to be beaten!"
"Um!?"
The fierce gazes of the four people approached instantly!
My suggestion is to let him avoid the attacks of four people at the same time, which will also make him practice faster!"
Usopp said
"Me too!"
Nami and others all agreed.
Since he proposed to practice, of course he must set an example!
Otherwise, who can't do it just by talking?
"Hey hey hey, don't be like this, my dear and lovely friends!"
Gretel said quickly
"Hehehehehehe~"
"Since we are partners, of course we have to bear this pain together!"
"Right, that is it!"
So, what followed was everyone's ruthless torture of Gretel!
No matter what he said, it was of no use!
After nightfall, almost everyone collapsed on the deck from exhaustion.
Zoro and Sanji were the most outrageous!
Because the two individuals looked unhappy at each other, so they increased their intensity like crazy!
They were torturing each other, and they were making progress together! Nami and Usopp were just practicing observation haki together, so they just had sore hands and didn't suffer much damage.
As for Gretel, he was miserable, facing the torture of four people!
He was the only one who was seriously injured!
But at the end of the day, the people on the boat didn't even feel a hair.
The best one was Luffy, because he was injured by a blunt instrument. After the beating, there is no pain at all.
This is not okay~" Gretel said: "The six of us, with such a high bounty, may face a big battle at any time. If all six of us are exhausted, who will fight?"
He lay on the deck and forced himself to ask a fatal question.
"Then why don't we just stop training? Usopp immediately said happily, "Okay, I think Usopp is right. Once an enemy appears, it will be too dangerous!"
Nami echoed: "So for the safety of our lives, we should not practice anymore!""
"no!"
Zoro sternly refused!
"Anyway, a day of rest will be fine. How about we divide into two teams and only one team needs to practice every day?"
Gretel suggested
"Can!"
"Then I'll start tomorrow! I'm on the same team as Usopp!
Zoro said, "You beat us tomorrow, and we'll beat you the day after tomorrow!""
Zoro is very active. He is the training madman who wants to practice the most!
And even on the day when he beats Sanji, he can practice strength by himself after the fight!
No one works harder than him.
Looking at the system's job transfer progress bar, I magically discovered that after the training, everyone's progress bar has improved a little!
At the moment, except for Sanji and Luffy, Zoro is at the front, followed by Gretel himself., Usopp, Nami!
After the team's 20% bonus last time, Zoro's progress bar has exceeded 90%!
