One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 10 Conversation and Apprenticeship

"Ding Ling Dang Cang"

The sound of the long knife falling to the ground did not bring Lily back to her senses. She was still staring at her right hand. The numb feeling made her right hand tremble slightly. She didn't understand why Zhizhi had such great strength, and what was that purple-black thing and why was it so hard? Could that also be the ability of the devil fruit?
"That's not a devil fruit." Perhaps guessing what Lily was thinking, the hermit said. "Squeaky is indeed a devil fruit user, but she didn't use her fruit power when she defeated you just now."

Lily looked at Zhizhi in amazement. The hermit's words hit Lily even harder. Without using the power of the devil fruit, she was no match for the opponent. If she used the power, she would probably not be able to withstand a single blow.

"So, I'm so weak?" Lily said unconfidently.

In fact, it’s not Lily’s wonder that she was so disappointed. It was mainly because the opponents they fought were different. For example, she defeated the rear admiral. Although he was defeated, Lily had no doubt about herself. But now she was facing Zhizhi. Even though she knew that Zhizhi was very special, it still dealt a great blow to Lily.

"Hahahaha, come here, come and sit down. Zhizhi, get the knife back." The hermit who was sitting cross-legged patted the ground in front of him. Hearing this, Lily walked towards the hermit with a frustrated look on her face, while Zhizhi quickly picked up the flying long knife and handed it to the hermit.

Seeing Lily sitting cross-legged in front of him, the hermit took the long knife and handed Zhizhi to Lily.

"Come, touch it and try it."

Lily, still immersed in loss, stroked Zhizhi's fur mechanically. Zhizhi's fur was very soft and smooth, just like silk. As she stroked it, Lily gradually liked the feeling, and Zhizhi also made a "humming" sound out of comfort as Lily stroked it.

Watching Lily's expression gradually relaxing, the hermit breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he had hit Lily too hard. This was an opportunity that had finally come. If he didn't seize it, he didn't know if there would be a next time. He also didn't know how many years his body could last. He couldn't let Zhizhi go looking for those things.

"How is it? The squeak feels good, right?" asked the hermit.

"Yeah." Lily nodded. It was not just very good, she simply couldn't put it down.

"But such soft hair can withstand your blade, aren't you curious?" the hermit said in a persuasive manner.

"Can you tell me?" Lily asked cautiously. She really wanted to know why this happened, but casually discussing other people's moves was a very impolite behavior.

"Hahaha, this is no secret. If you stay on the sea for a few more years, you will know what kind of power Zhizhi uses. Zhizhi's strength is actually not as great as yours, and her flesh is not as hard as your knife. Her speed is faster than yours but also limited. The reason why she can defeat you is because of this thing - domineering." The hermit said as he clenched his fist, and his fist turned black, like a piece of dark steel.

"Domineering?" Lily looked at the hermit's fist. Although it was slightly different from the purple and black color on Zhizhi's body, the feeling it gave Lily was exactly the same.

"That's right, domineering. This is an ability that all strong people must master. Those who have domineering are not necessarily strong, but strong people must have domineering. Everyone, or in other words, all living things in this world have domineering, but it is not so easy to learn how to use it." Lily listened attentively to the hermit's explanation.

"First is Armament Haki, which is what you see in my hands and what it looked like when Zhizhi fought with you before. Of course, basic Armament Haki has no color. What you see now is the condensed Armament Haki. The ability of Armament Haki is also very simple. It makes objects attached with Armament Haki harder than steel. At the same time, attacks wrapped with Armament Haki can hit Devil Fruit users. For example, the elementalization of natural abilities. Ordinary attacks are useless, but as long as you have Armament Haki, there will be no problem. Of course, if the opponent has elementalized in advance, it is another matter. Moreover, as long as your Haki is strong enough, you can weaken or even exempt the ability of Devil Fruit. In addition, Armament Haki can also enhance the user's attack power. Originally, you can use one point of force, but with Haki, it can become ten points of force. There are also some other functions. I won't talk about them here. I will talk about them later when you have mastered the basics."

After saying this, the color on the hermit's hand also disappeared.

"What about the second one?" Lily asked quickly. Since it was the first one, there must be the second one.

"Then there is the second type, Observation Haki. Compared to the simple and crude Armament Haki, Observation Haki is an invisible and intangible power, but don't underestimate it. In the simplest terms, Observation Haki means that you have eyes that can observe 360 ​​degrees and can see even the slightest muscle pulsation. You don't need glasses to see anymore. You can know everything within the range through feeling, and even predict the other party's next move. A powerful user of Observation Haki can even hear the sounds of all things and even predict the future." As the hermit explained, Lily remembered the scene of herself catching Zhizhi last night. Zhizhi felt her every move and then dodged calmly.

"Armament Haki and Observation Haki? Your Haki is so strong." Lily stared at her right hand that hadn't touched Zhizhi, and squeezed it hard. "Hey, hey, hey, don't be anxious, I haven't finished yet."

"besides?"

"Of course, the last, most special and also the strongest domineering, domineering domineering, can only appear in one in a million people. Every owner of domineering domineering has the potential to become a king. It is also an extremely special domineering that cannot be cultivated. The growth of domineering domineering can only be achieved through the spirit and state of mind of the owner. The more spirit and the higher the state of mind, the stronger the domineering domineering can be." As the hermit explained, Lily felt that the hermit's body was getting taller and taller, and then, an extremely strong impact emanated from the hermit, impacting Lily's consciousness, but it went away quickly, and the next second, the impact just now disappeared without a trace, as if everything was an illusion.

"Hoo, hoo," Lily took two deep breaths, "was that Conqueror's Haki just now?"

"Yes, that is my Domineering Haki. Of course, I'm old, and my spirit has faded. My Domineering Haki has regressed to this level now. Hahahaha!" The hermit touched the back of his head and laughed.

"How about it? Do you want to learn?" the hermit asked with a hint of cunning after laughing.

"I want to learn." Lily nodded obediently. It was impossible for her not to want to learn. In this sea, one can have nothing except power. Without power, one can't move an inch. What's more, Lily's dream was to overthrow those nobles, which required absolute power.

"Okay, I'll teach you." The hermit nodded. He knew Lily would not refuse.

"So, Hermit, what is the price?" Lily asked. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If there is, it must be poisonous. The Hermit is not one's own parents or relatives. There is no reason for him to be nice to you for no reason. There must be a price to pay for teaching you to be domineering.

"Price? Let me think about it." The hermit stroked his beard and pretended to think, "How about you take me as your master? From today on, you will be my apprentice and I will be your master. That way, there will be no problem."

"Why? This is not a deserted island. What's more, there should be many people like you who want to become your disciples. There is no need to choose me." Lily asked curiously. The hermit's meaning was too obvious. His thoughts just now were too fake, the kind that he was too lazy to even act out.

"This one——Okay, I admit it, do you still remember the third kind of domineering I mentioned?" The hermit raised his hands helplessly.

"Is that the domineering Haki?"

"That's right, just like I said, Conqueror's Haki is a special Haki that only one in a million people can possess, and you, Miss Rose Lily, you are the one in a million who possesses Conqueror's Haki." The hermit pointed at Lily and said seriously.

"Me?" Lily pointed at herself, "But I've never felt this way before."

"That's because you just awakened. It should be the night before yesterday. I felt the fluctuation of your Conqueror's Haki, and it was this fluctuation that allowed me to rescue you." The hermit finally told the truth. It was pure nonsense that he caught it while fishing. When Lily threw Kaido away, the power that rushed straight to her head along Lily's spine was the awakening of Conqueror's Haki, and this power directly disturbed the hermit on Sky Island. Following this remaining power, the hermit found Lily in the storm and brought her back to Sky Island.

"I'm old, and I don't want to waste my skills, but I don't look down on ordinary people. I just happened to meet you, how about it? Come and be my apprentice, hahahaha." The hermit smiled and stretched out his hand to Lily, his eyes became extremely sincere, without the slightest falsehood.

At this point, Lily naturally would not refuse anymore. She gently put Zhizhi aside and knelt on one knee.
"Whether you saved my life or cultivated me, Rose Lily will never forget it. Master, I bow to you."

"Ahahahahaha, okay, okay, from today on, you are my apprentice! Ahahaha, ahahahahaha!"
