I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

Koushirou kept saying he wouldn't, that the time wasn't right.

Redheads were the best choice he could think of.

"Domineering?" the redhead exclaimed in surprise.

In this remote place in the East China Sea, not many people know about Baqi.

"How do you know about Haki?" Shanks asked instinctively.

Then he realized he had asked a stupid question.

It's normal for Koushin-senpai to know about Haki at Isshin Dojo.

"It seems you are highly regarded by Senior Koushirou," the red-haired man remarked.

There was now a hint of appreciation in her gaze as she looked at Dick.

Dick: ? ? ?

They value it highly, extremely highly. They value it so much they wish I would never come back.

Dick was surprised.

It's surprising that Shanks knows Koushirou.

Isn't this incredibly lucky?

Dick immediately changed his strategy.

“Yes, I am the teacher’s most valued disciple. He is even planning to marry his daughter to me and let me inherit the Isshin Dojo.” Dick said confidently. “I am now the senior disciple of the Isshin Dojo, the well-deserved successor.”

"But I refused."

"why?"

“Kuina is a person with her own thoughts, and I must respect her opinion. I think that in matters of the heart, it is most important for both parties to be compatible, and as for inheriting the dojo…” Dick paused slightly.

"A man's goal is the stars and the sea."

“Good,” the redhead said, his appreciation growing.

As expected of Koushirou's most valued disciple, his awareness is truly high.

These are true men of the sea.

“However, I think that a real man, even when he goes to sea, must take care of his family,” Dick said seriously.

“If a person can’t even take care of his wife, son, and parents, and then goes out to sea, I think he’s trash. He’s using freedom as an excuse, but he’s actually a selfish piece of trash.”

"After all, he doesn't even care about his own family, so how could he possibly care about his friends?"

"I can even imagine what he'd be like as a pirate, eating meat and drinking wine to his heart's content. He'd only think about his own carefree life, and as for his wife and children, he'd probably have long forgotten them."

Beside him, Jesus looked extremely uncomfortable.

For some reason, Yasopp always felt that everyone around him was watching him.

Redhead opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but in the end he didn't know what to say, so he could only awkwardly take a sip of wine.

He remembered that Yasopp was from the East Sea.

There is also a wife and son at home.

Moreover, he never went home after joining the pirate crew.

Thinking about it this way, a strong sense of guilt and remorse welled up in my heart.

How come I never noticed this before?

"Alright, in a few days, I'll take the pirate crew to Syrup Village and let Yasopp reunite with his family." Shanks made up his mind.

There were other crew members who seemed to be able to go back to their hometowns for a visit.

After thinking it over, Red Hair admired Dick even more.

"How does your teacher address someone in a domineering way?"

"He said his name is Ryuzakura."

That's right, it's the name of Wano Country.

Now Shanks had no more doubts.

The person before me is indeed Koushirou's disciple.

Moreover, it is absolutely the most important thing.

How much do you know about domineering aura?

"Domineering aura is a latent power that all humans possess. This power is an innate ability, including aura, killing intent, and fighting spirit. When manipulating these invisible senses, willpower can be transformed into a weapon. This powerful force is called domineering aura."

It is divided into three types: Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki...

Redhead was surprised.

I never imagined that Koushirou-senpai would explain it in such depth.

The redhead hesitated for a moment.

A disciple of an old friend, traveling alone, and with Senior Koushirou's description of his domineering presence, his strength must have reached a certain level.

"Okay, I'll teach you. How much you learn is entirely up to you."

"Thank you, senior."

In the open space, Shanks called out Uta and Luffy, letting them experience it beforehand.

The Red-Haired Pirates also formed a circle around it.

It's rare to see someone teaching students in a pirate crew.

It's a good opportunity to have some fun.

Chapter 14 What is a genius?

"Domineering aura is a kind of will, a power of the mind. The stronger the will, the stronger the domineering aura..." Red-haired explained.

Dick nodded knowingly.

As expected of a master of Haki, Shanks' explanation was indeed profound yet easy to understand.

If it were Garp, he probably couldn't explain it clearly; he'd just let you experience it for yourself.

Getting a few more beatings—no, I mean, learning through experience—is what truly matters.

"Now calm your mind, focus your spirit, and feel the power of your will..."

Dick closed his eyes and silently sensed it.

"Beckman, how long do you think it will take this kid to learn Haki?" Rakiro asked, biting into a chicken leg.

"have no idea,"

"How about we take a gamble? Since he's Koushirou's most prized disciple," Yasopp thought for a moment, "three months, shall we?"

"You're overestimating me, aren't you? A domineering presence isn't something everyone can have." Cool Lyme Jones frowned. "Four months."

"Two months."

"I'll bet six months."

Everyone placed bets.

"And you, Beckman?"

Beckman finished his cigarette and exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

"About 30 days."

Everyone was surprised and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Learning to be domineering in 30 days is more difficult than you can imagine.

It's important to know that even in the current Red-Haired Pirates, there are still members who haven't mastered both types of Haki.

Even the Straw Hat crew, which later became a Yonko-level pirate crew, still had nearly half of its members who didn't know Haki.

And now, a little kid has learned how to be domineering in just one month?

If Beckman hadn't said those words, everyone would have laughed at him long ago.

"why?"

“Look at his age,”

Everyone took a closer look and were all shocked.

Even with a mature demeanor, and even with the evolutionary flames promoting physical development.

Dick's youthful appearance was undeniable.

At most, he is definitely no more than 16 years old.

To be able to travel and gain the qualifications to learn domineering skills at the age of 16—that talent is absolutely genius-level.
