Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"The person who taught you the domineering cultivation method."

"Garp?"

“Hmm.” Rayleigh nodded. “If it were at his peak, he should have reached that level.”

Even the Pirate King Roger never achieved that?

Ron was somewhat surprised.

Rayleigh shook his head: "Roger and Garp fought many times. Roger was stronger in Observation Haki, while Garp was stronger in Armament Haki."

"I see."

Ron nodded slightly, tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then turned to Rayleigh beside him and asked curiously:

"Observation Haki, has anyone reached the fourth stage?"

"I do not know."

As Rayleigh picked up the bottle and poured wine into his glass, he said, "Never heard of it, never seen it before. Reaching the third stage of Observation Haki can even allow one to foresee a glimpse of the future, as for reaching the fourth stage... well... I can't imagine it."

“But if Roger were still alive, he would probably have had a chance to reach that level.” Rayleigh looked down at the bubbly shampoo in his glass and chuckled softly. “After all, that guy’s Observation Haki was so extraordinary.”

Ron understood what Riley meant.

Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, possessed the highest level of Observation Haki, giving him the ability to hear the voices of all things.

Most people awaken Observation Haki, or focus on depth, such as Charlotte Katakuri, who can foresee a corner of the future.

Or it could focus on breadth, for example, Skypiea can use its mind network to monitor Enel across the entire island.

Almost all people who awaken their Observation Haki possess one of these two key characteristics.

Ron's awakened Observation Haki is similar, focusing on depth, but it's still far from reaching Katakuri's level.

The highest level of Observation Haki, however, possesses both of these characteristics, and also has the ability to hear the voices of all things.

In the entire world of One Piece, those with this ability are far fewer than those who have mastered Conqueror's Haki.

It's safe to say that only one in hundreds of millions could achieve this.

However, Ron was curious about one thing.

Which is stronger, his ability to see the world clearly or his ability to hear the voice of all things?

………………

After saying goodbye to Rayleigh.

Ron left the Sabaody Archipelago aboard a merchant ship.

Wearing a military green overcoat, Ron stood on the deck railing, watching the seabirds flying in the sky, and the words Rayleigh had spoken involuntarily echoed in his mind.

"In this era, will those who yearn for freedom and resist constraints be called pirates...?"

he mused.

His initial thought was to strengthen himself in this chaotic pirate world where good and evil coexist, avoid getting involved in the conflicts between various factions, and freely pursue a carefree and wonderful life in this exciting pirate world...

In retrospect, that goal seems a bit too simplistic.

Ron rested his chin on his arms, which were resting on the railing, and gazed at the sea in front of him with a thoughtful look in his clear black eyes. The slightly fishy sea breeze gently blew through his soft black hair.

"I really should try to see this world more clearly..."

Suddenly he noticed someone was watching him.

Turn around and look.

Beside a noblewoman wearing a hat, on the deck railing to his side, two beautifully dressed twin girls with short, orange-red hair and adorable appearances were peeking at him.

Ron looked over.

The two little girls looked away, their faces flushed, and shyly shrank behind the noblewoman's skirt.

Ron looked at them and smiled gently.

Isn't there a lot of wonderful things in this pirate world too...?

…………

Xia Qi's extortion bar.

Rayleigh picked up his glass and watched the ice cubes inside clink against the glass.

Xia Qi, smoking a cigarette, looked at him and asked:

"What did you say to him when you saw him off?"

"It's nothing, I just asked him if he used his full strength when he challenged me."

"and then?"

Xia Qi was a little curious.

He shook his head.

Rayleigh gazed at the bubbles rising in his glass, his eyes filled with emotion.

"call……"

Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke: "He really is an unfathomable young man. It's been a long time since I've seen a young person like him..."

"Haha."

Rayleigh laughed and downed the shampoo in his glass in one gulp.

"This sea is going to get lively again. That kid's trip to sea this time is sure to cause quite a stir."

"Shakky, the next time we see that kid, his name will definitely resound throughout the seas. He might even become a famous pirate, hahaha."

Shakky glanced at Rayleigh: "You seem to really want him to become a pirate."

As Rayleigh poured the wine, he gently shook his head:

"It's not that I want to, but this era no longer allows for pure adventurers who pursue freedom..."

Xia Qi smoked a cigarette and didn't say anything more.

Special Noble Phantasm: Gate of Babylon.

In the past two and a half years, Ron has visited dozens of islands on his warships. Most of them only rewarded him with ten points of health, while the rest of the rewards were few and far between, and some were even useless.

Special Noble Phantasm: Gate of Babylon, and Healing Spell.

This was one of the ones Ron was relatively satisfied with.

Ron, sitting in the room, slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, the famous sword Raikiri slowly emerged from the void behind him, hovering with its tip pointing downwards beside his hand.

Then, following Ron's will, they gradually fell into the void, which resembled the surface of water.

His Gate of Babylon is not connected to a vault of gold treasures, but to his system space.

The power of this Noble Phantasm is actually dispensable for Ron, who possesses a system; it's just cool in appearance.

That's enough.

Ron looked out the window, where white clouds, blue sky, and the sea formed a harmonious picture.

"According to Rayleigh, my current strength should be considered pretty good on the Grand Line, provided I don't encounter any troublesome Devil Fruit users."
