Chapter 54: Thick Pants! The Cry-Baby Punch!
Chapter 54: Thick Pants! The Cry-Baby Punch!
The black aura flowing on his fist was like ink splattered on paper or gushing black oil, swirling in layers.
The 'Hardening' level of Haki could not be superimposed no matter how one manipulated it. Regardless of the amount of Haki, the location of Hardening would always be fixed.
To increase the power of Haki, one needed to 'flow' it, gathering the useless parts and focusing them on a desired location.
This was 'Emission'.
The two techniques didn't conflict and could be used simultaneously.
Moreover, objects enveloped by Haki weren't limited to the body and items in direct contact with it. They could be thrown after being enveloped!
Currently, Sag had mastered these two types.
Compared to the Haki he had been pondering over for so long, unable to figure out how to unleash, Garp had effortlessly demonstrated it with a single punch, even before he unleashed his 'Galaxy Impact'.
Indeed, only in battles against powerful foes could one unleash their power freely in the face of life and death.
"Hahaha!"
Sag let out a light laugh, which grew louder until he threw his head back and roared with laughter.
He had finally grasped Haki!
"Sag, why are you laughing now? Everyone else is done." Renetia tilted her head, a question mark floating above her head.
The slave laborers' cheers had long since ended, and they were all staring at him, confused by his actions of examining his arms and then laughing belatedly.
"You don't understand anything!"
Sag ruffled Renetia's pink hair affectionately and said, "In the past, there was the Three-Hit Teacher Kai, and now there's the Instant Enlightened Senior Karu. I'm also a guy with kingly talent!"
"Huh? Hasn't he always been like that? Senior Karu's surname is Monchi, not Karu. Also, who's Teacher Kai?" Renetia asked, perplexed.
"Some wild youth, not important."
Sag waved his hand dismissively, his mood exceedingly pleasant.
It wasn't because he had mastered Haki that he was so elated, but because he had discovered something delightful while learning Haki.
Among the types of Haki, the rarest, Conquerors Haki, couldn't be strengthened through training. The rarest and most extraordinary type, Observation Haki, depended on one's innate talent, much like Devil Fruits.
The ultimate manifestation of Observation Haki was 'Predicting the Future', the only realm that could be reached through diligent training, but very few people could attain it, making it almost legendary.
Sag didn't have the VIP version.
He had just obtained this ability, so he didn't know how far he could develop it.
As for Conquerors Haki, although he hadn't mastered it yet, he knew that it had no boundaries. Aside from becoming more adept at using it, there should also be special methods to enhance it.
Otherwise, how could there be Conquerors Haki Emission?
He had seen Teacher Kai use it in his previous life!
Although he had forgotten most of the plot, he had been immersed in this world since his rebirth, constantly hearing about the great pirates, so it would be strange if he couldn't recall anything.
However, he didn't know how to master it yet.
But it must be related to battle; after all, fighting resolved everything.
Victory meant a win-win situation.
These two types of Haki didn't have a concept of 'quantity'. At least, that was Sag's current understanding. His Observation Haki was passive, but he could switch it to active with focus, and there was no limit to its use—an infinite supply.
It might consume stamina, but it had nothing to do with 'quantity'.
The only type of Haki with 'quantity' was Armament Haki.
This Haki, which anyone could use by controlling their will, also varied in strength depending on the person's willpower. Everyone could use Armament Haki, but how long they could maintain it and how much they could use differed greatly.
Sag didn't need to wait until he mastered 'Internal Destruction', 'Conqueror's Emission', or 'Predicting the Future'. The reason he dared to venture into the New World was simply because he had mastered Haki.
Conqueror's Haki wasn't invincible. Mastering 'Internal Destruction' was only mediocre. The skill of using Conquerors' Haki and the strength of the Haki were fundamentally different things.
Especially those nobodies in the New World who, upon mastering their will and displaying their Haki, became boastful and proud. Having Haki, what could they amount to?
The might of a cup of water could, at most, reach the height of the cup. It wouldn't turn into a water tank.
And what Sag had discovered, was this.
If those nobodies were a cup of water, and the elite soldiers were water tanks, then his amount of Haki...
Bang!
He clenched his fist, causing the air to explode with a burst. The black aura flowing on his fist was like surging waves, layering upon layering upon his fist.
It was like a device that constantly produced water!
The amount of Armament Haki he possessed, while not exceptionally high, made Sag feel that his Haki would rapidly regenerate no matter how he used it.
No matter how much he used, and no matter how he used it, within this limit, he couldn't exhaust it!
This discovery was what truly delighted him.
Once the Armament Haki was exhausted, one would naturally have to rely on rest to recover, which was somewhat related to stamina, but not entirely. Infinite stamina did not imply infinite Haki.
But infinite Haki...
That was a manifestation of willpower, and Sag felt that it was a compensation for his previous life.
The firm determination to not meekly wait for death, despite being suppressed by his adoptive father!
The unwavering ambition that, despite failing in countless businesses and falling into ruin time and time again, remained undaunted and resilient!
This must have cultivated his Haki, which now flowed like a super-high-speed regenerating current.
He didn't know how it formed, but this Armament Haki, to him, seemed to be endlessly regenerating and never-ending.
Next, as long as he raised his upper limit, he would be like an everlasting machine. As long as he could still move his fist, he would be able to use Haki, and even if he couldn't move his fist, he could still cover his entire body!
"Lily, start counting heads!" Sag laughed sinisterly.
"Six hundred, six hundred and one,"
Even before Sag spoke, Lily had already jumped onto the second floor, counting the heads. Hearing his words, she quickly counted the remaining and shouted, "Sag, there are six hundred and fifty people!"
The standard capacity of this ship had already been occupied by more than half. Without relying on Renetia's ability, the ship could now set sail solely powered by the pirates.
"Yes, that's the same as my perception,"
Sag nodded, then suddenly stopped, gazing at the starry sky above and the black sails that had yet to be painted. Stroking his chin, he mused, "We have enough people now. It's time to give our pirate crew a name. What should we call ourselves?"
"The Big Dipper Pirate Crew!" Renetia raised her hand first.
"Huh?"
Sag paused for a moment before reacting, "No, that's not bad. The Big Dipper is a good name."
Renetia thought for a moment and raised her hand again, "Then how about the Hundred-Fist Punch Pirate Crew!"
"That's not bad either, but I don't use my fists, nor do I force people to do things against their will! Don't be ridiculous!" Sag's temples bulged with veins.
"Then how about the Death Omen Pirate Crew? You always say that the Death Omen is shining and so on," Lily suggested as she walked over.
Sag nodded, "That's fine, too."
"Um, Captain,"
Suddenly, one of the slave laborers raised his hand and said, "Aren't we the Natural Disaster Pirate Crew?"
