One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

"I want to know how to master domineering aura."

"Domineering?!"

Bucky was stunned.

He had considered countless possibilities, such as coveting his treasure or information about other pirates, but he never expected that the other party would ask about Haki.

Has his identity finally been exposed?

Bucky quickly realized what was happening, his face blank, his big, watery eyes revealing both innocence and naivety.

"Haki, what is that?"

"Shh!"

With a flash of the blade, the corpse was severed from its head!

Loya grabbed Bucky's head and pinned it to the wall. Then, picking up a branding iron, he asked with a smile, "I'll ask you one more time, how do you master Haki?"

"Wait, let's talk this out!"

Bucky was pale.

He could tell that the other party was definitely not joking; if he couldn't answer, the red-hot branding iron would definitely be imprinted on his body.

This guy is even more ruthless than pirates!

"So powerful! So powerful!"

Pakistan got stuck and was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Damn it, if he knew how to control his domineering aura, he wouldn't have ended up like this. The captain never taught him!

No, perhaps Captain Roger and First Mate Raleigh taught him, but he didn't listen carefully or take it to heart.

Feeling the intense heat radiating from his ears, Bucky's brain raced.

"Wait, I remembered!"

"Domineering, yes, that's it!"

"Unwavering belief is the key to strength!"

As Mr. Rayleigh once said, unwavering faith is the key to strength!

"Unwavering belief"

Loya frowned.

He certainly remembered those words, but to think that one could master domineering power with just one sentence was a bit of wishful thinking.

There are countless people in this world who believe in their own abilities, but very few who can independently control their domineering aura.

At least not among the people he knew.

"Be more specific!"

"I don't know, I really don't know!"

Bucky shook his head frantically, tears streaming down his face: "Ray—I've heard people mention before that Haki is a latent power that humans are born with, but I don't know exactly how to train it."

"I only know that the nature of domineering aura is the same as the subtle feelings of one's own aura, intimidation, and killing intent."

"By the way, domineering is all in the imagination!"

"The power of imagination has no limits!"

Bucky didn't remember clearly, only that Rayleigh had said that Haki was an extension of will, that is, the power of imagination, and he really wasn't interested in the rest of the lesson.

"Imagine".

Loya sighed inwardly.

He actually remembered all these abstract and domineering concepts, but judging from Bucky's appearance, he probably didn't know them, since that guy was really weak.

He believed that as long as he kept fighting, he would eventually be able to comprehend the domineering aura. However, having a clear method was always more efficient than figuring it out haphazardly on his own.

"That's it for today."

Loya turned and left.

He didn't want to say too much, especially about Bucky's identity. If he knew too much, the CP might call him in for questioning.

Stepping outside, the sea breeze caressed my face.

Loya lit a cigarette, pondering his memories of the domineering figure, but his attention was quickly drawn to the boy wielding a sword on the deck.

It's Zoro.

The boy stood on the empty deck, swinging his knife again and again, his face covered in sweat, clearly having trained for a long time.

Loya paused for a moment, stubbed out his cigarette, jumped down, and came to the boy's side, his gaze falling on the boy's waist.

The bandages were stained red.

The kid's wound reopened, but he endured the pain and continued training.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

"It's not time yet. I only need three hours of sleep a day."

Zoro continued swinging his sword, completely ignoring Loya beside him.

The defeat on Moon Island haunted him, and only by cultivating himself more diligently could he quell the resentment in his heart.

Loya remained silent.

I only sleep three hours a day.

This kid doesn't have a "world" to him, but his level of effort is no less than his, no, it should be said that he works even harder!

"follow me."

"Where?"

"Training room!"

Loya had an idea in mind.

Perhaps he can test his skills on this kid. Although he may not be domineering, that doesn't mean he can't guide others.

Anyway, it's all just conceptual stuff, we can just fool people and that's it. Maybe this kid is a one-in-a-million martial arts genius!

"Zoro, let me teach you Haki!"

Chapter 45 "Master Teacher" Loya

Warship, training room.

Barbells, arm strength machines, sandbags—basically all kinds of training equipment are available, and the weight of the barbell plates is also astonishing.

Zoro's eyes lit up.

He used to train with stones and other objects as weights, which was quite shabby, and he had never used professional equipment.

It makes my hands itch just looking at it.

But before that, there's another problem.

"What is domineering?"

"Domineering aura is the latent power of everyone in this world. It's no different from feelings like killing intent, imposing presence, or intuition. Simply put, it's turning willpower into a weapon!"

Loya began his deception.

He wanted to test whether Zoro could master Haki; if so, he might be able to learn from him.

It's okay if you can't learn it. Just consider it a shared learning experience, a chance to get closer to each other, and a preparation for recruiting each other in the future.

Just like blind dates, even if you're eager to marry the other person, you still need a short period of getting to know each other. If you confess your feelings right away, you'll most likely be seen as a pervert.

"Turning will into a weapon?"

Zoro frowned, having never heard of willpower as a weapon before. If he hadn't seen Loya's serious attitude, he would have thought Loya was playing a trick on him.

How is this possible!

You may not understand.

Loya drew his longsword, looked at the gleaming blade, and asked with a smile, "Zoro, did your swordsmanship master teach you how to cut iron?"

"Taught."

Zoro nodded.

When he was very young, he asked his master, Koushirou, if there were any swordsmen in the world who could cut through iron like mud.

The master's answer was yes!

"tell me the story?"

"Ah."

Zoro recalled his master's words and didn't suspect that Loya wanted to steal his skills. After all, his master was just the owner of a rural dojo, and his students were mostly children.

"My master said that there is a swordsman in this world who can cut through anything, and at the same time, he can cut through iron with the same sword!"
