No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

"What kind of monster are you?"

The moment he felt his mind go blank, Jackman felt a chill run down his spine and his heart pounded with fear. Before he could react, he could only turn around and mobilize his domineering power, his palm turning completely black as he swiftly struck at Rahu.

boom!

Jackman struck out with his palm, hitting Luo Hou's outstretched fist with a dull thud.

After a brief exchange of silent tension, Luo Hou was suddenly forced to retreat seven or eight steps.

But Luo Hou was not afraid, because he had become stronger under Jackman's attack!

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 200 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 132 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 78 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 67 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 400 stamina points!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 239 stamina points!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, your physique has met the requirements and you have successfully absorbed Armament Haki (Beginner)!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, your physique has met the requirements and you have successfully absorbed Observation Haki (Beginner)!]

Feeling the power surging back into his body, Luo Hou wiped away the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth as if he had taken a stimulant, and then his fists turned completely black.

"Again! Let me see just how much you weigh!"

At this moment, Rahu unleashed all three colors of his Haki, and charged forward as swiftly as a cannonball aimed at its target.

Upon seeing this, Jackman's expression clearly changed.

Shock! Horror!

Before he used Observation Haki and Armament Haki, he could clearly sense that this Rahu monster had absolutely no Haki energy.

But after he launched his attack, an aura of dominance suddenly appeared on the opponent!

In that instant, Jackman felt an absurd idea pop into his head.

That is, the boy in front of him seems to be able to rapidly improve his combat power in battle, and even easily learn the kind of power that requires hard training to master!

This bizarre talent was something he had never heard of or seen before, even after years of traversing the Grand Line.

"You old thief! I need your help with my cultivation!"

"Don't come over here!"

.....

Chapter 5 I want you to help me practice

Watching helplessly as Luo Hou's speed, a freak, more than doubled again, Jackman's expression changed drastically.

But by then, it was too late for him to react.

Before he could even assume a defensive stance, Luo Hou had already struck him with his fist, which was the size of a sandbag and gleamed with an imposing black light. In an instant, the fist slammed into his temple, knocking him to the ground with a bang.

Click! Click!

The sound of bones breaking followed one after another. With a single punch, the enhanced Rahu smashed the bone in Jackman's temple into fragments.

Those horribly broken bones had even pierced through the flesh, their twisted and grotesque outlines visible on the cheeks.

The temples are one of the most vulnerable and fatal locations on the human body.

Jackman, who had just been hit hard, felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he was about to lose consciousness at any moment.

However, Rahu had no intention of letting him go. He calmly pulled him up from the ground and then punched him again.

*Snap* *Crack*

After the sickeningly painful sight of flesh and blood ripped out and the sound of things collapsing was heard, Jackman's body trembled, and then he slowly lost consciousness.

With Jackman's death, the corpse in front of Luo Hou collapsed and burst forth with a sphere of radiant attribute light.

This was the last contribution Jackman could make.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 107 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 37 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 36 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 12 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 91 stamina points!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 27 stamina points!]

The system notification sounded the moment the attribute orb was absorbed into the body.

Luo Hou immediately felt his entire body receive another slight enhancement. At this moment, he was completely different from his previous ordinary body.

Furthermore, the moment such a massive amount of basic attributes surged into his body, Luo Hou's originally relatively normal height increased by more than 30 centimeters, reaching an astonishing height of about 2.7 meters!

With such formidable physical strength, Luo Hou felt veins and blood vessels surfacing and twisting all over his body like green earthworms, becoming even thicker and more powerful!

After killing Jackman and absorbing all of his basic attributes, Rahu's already strong body became even more terrifying.

Even on his back muscles, a devilish face formed by muscles was faintly visible.

[Host: Rahu]

【Age: 18】

Strength: 1239 (Naval Headquarters Admiral Level)

Agility: 1001 (Naval Headquarters Admiral Level)

[Stamina: 1863 (Naval Headquarters Admiral Level)]

[Haki: Conqueror's Haki (Advanced), Observation Haki (Basic), Armament Haki (Basic)]

[Skills: Basic navigation, basic combat skills, fruit wine brewing techniques...]

[Devil Fruit Ability: None]

"This is power beyond belief!"

Seeing his current strength level rise like a rocket in less than a day, and that he was now basically on par with the admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

Rahu couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life.

Just a day ago, he was just an ordinary person, one of many in the world of One Piece. Now, however, he has become a master who has awakened all three types of Haki and whose strength rivals that of a Marine Admiral.

Although the admirals of the Navy Headquarters were not considered top-tier in Rocks' era, that was only in comparison to those freakish guys.

For ordinary people, Luo Hou at this point was already a powerful figure who was beyond their reach!

However, Luo Hou did not become complacent or decadent because he gained such great power in a short period of time.

His goal is very clear.

That is to quickly climb to the top of the world's combat power, then storm the Celestial Dragons' holy land, Marinejoia, and slaughter all the Celestial Dragons to use their lives to commemorate the passing of their parents!

In the world of One Piece, after 800 years since the World Government was established, it's time for beasts like the Celestial Dragons to experience what it's like to be tortured like reptiles.

"Next, let's find some strong players to absorb attributes and become more durable and powerful!"

After casually flicking the blood off his hands, Rahu wasted no time and boarded the pirate ship left behind by Jackman and the other pirates, heading straight for the next island indicated on the sea chart.

Despite having experienced a series of battles today, the energetic Rahu felt no fatigue whatsoever. Instead, he was eager to find even stronger opponents to enhance his own attributes.

Unfortunately, after drifting through the waters of the Grand Line for an entire night, Rahu still hadn't encountered another pirate ship.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; after all, this isn't the Great Pirate Era that Roger started.

At present, almost all the pirate crews with any reputation in the Grand Line have joined the Rocks Pirates as members.

After a monotonous voyage on the ship for about three or four days.

Rahu's Observation Haki suddenly detected a figure swimming behind his pirate crew.

"Hey buddy up ahead, I'm Kaido, with a bounty of 9100 million Berries on my head from the Marine Headquarters. Could you please give me a ride?"

Before Luo Hou could react, a figure about four meters tall with a pair of horns on its head jumped onto the deck in front of him.

"Kaido? Teacher Kai?"

Luo Hou looked at the young man in front of him who was shaking his head and drying off the seawater and made a surprised sound.

He was, of course, very familiar with Kaido's name.

That's one of the Four Emperors who will share the second half of the Grand Line with the other three Sea Emperors in the future!

Is this guy still not a member of the Rocks Pirates?

Luo Hou carefully recalled the introduction of Kaido, the top-notch Haki instructor who appeared in almost half of the original manga, in the original comics he had read.

This timeframe does seem to be roughly accurate.

In the original story, Kaido did indeed join the Rocks Pirates shortly before the God Valley Incident, at the invitation of Whitebeard, who was sent by Rocks.

He then joined God Valley as an intern to participate in that epic battle.

It's somewhat plausible that he's currently being hunted by the navy.

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho~ Hey bro, you actually recognize me? That's such a pleasant surprise~"

"But I don't think I've ever been a teacher~"

"I was once a war hero of a nation, but those damned kings and nobles sold me to the navy for blood experiments just for a mere spot to join the World Government!"

"Otherwise, I, Kaido, wouldn't have ended up in this situation where I'm constantly being hunted down by Marine Admirals."

When the young and inexperienced Kaido met Rahu, a young man of the same age, he immediately opened up and revealed his identity and background.

Luo Hou, who was listening in stunned silence, could only express his understanding.

After all, in the world of One Piece, which supporting character doesn't live a miserable life?
