One Piece: Who still has dreams?

The azure light in his pupils shone, reflecting the microscopic level of Observation Haki... The clockwise and counterclockwise rotating "vortices" combined in different forms...

This is probably the fundamental principle behind why everyone's Observation Haki has different characteristics.

Microscopic vortex energy rotates in different ways, and is stimulated in the direction of the release of domineering energy... What would happen if we intentionally controlled these tiny vortices so that each one rotated in the opposite direction precisely?

Will it produce a kind of "reversal of dominance" like a reversal technique?

"..." Zoro stopped laughing. Looking at Redio, whose hair had turned white and who exuded a terrifying aura, he was so shocked that his hair stood on end. He subconsciously gripped his sword and his eyes showed shock.

Ace laughed and said, "Now you see, if this guy uses this kind of power, let alone '6 times gravity,' '60 times' might not be a problem."

Zoro asked incredulously, "Redio, when did you become so strong?"

Reddio snapped out of his reverie and chuckled, "Do we still need to change the captain?"

Zoro shook his head repeatedly.

Huff... Redio's hair returned to black, the blue light in his eyes faded, and he exhaled a breath of stale air.

He stretched, changed into clean clothes, tossed his artificial Su Nuo fingers, and said, "For the next six months, we'll be training together on Haki. We'll have plenty of time to figure out how to use it. Before that, I need to leave for a bit."

Zoro and Ace tilted their heads in confusion: "Where to?"

Redio laughed: "Go pick up our navigator."

Before he finished speaking, the other person had already disappeared from the spot.

……

Redio selected Bonnie's quest to find her father and teleported directly to the South Sea, randomly appearing on the roof of the old church.

Instead of going to Bonney, he continued to select Nami from the "already hired" list, with 8 days remaining in her employment period.

The system only provides teleportation functionality for "extremely long" distances, but by using other missions as intermediaries, Nami, who was originally only at a "long" distance, immediately becomes capable of teleporting to "extremely long" distances...

Redio chose Nami's name and teleported directly.

……

Redio found himself in a grove of trees, where he could faintly hear the sound of waves crashing in the distance.

Is this Cocoa Village?

With his hands in his pockets, he activated his Observation Haki and looked around as he walked, searching for Nami. She should be within a few hundred meters of him... He hadn't walked far when he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound.

A girl with short orange hair sat under a tree in the woods, her bleeding left hand covering her swollen right arm, which she didn't know had been beaten by someone. Her head was buried in her lap, and her body was trembling slightly.

Redio walked over.

-----------------

Nami originally wanted to find a place to heal her wounds, but on the way she found her sister Nojiko looking for her, so she hid back in the forest.

She didn't want her sister to see her in such a distraught state, and she was even more afraid that she would break down and beg her sister for help immediately.

Nami hid alone under a tree, letting herself vent with tears. Just for a little while, she'd cry for a bit...

Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching, unlike those of Nojiko, but those of the fishmen.

She hurriedly tried to wipe away her tears, instinctively using her right hand, which caused her eye to twitch in pain. Just then, she suddenly heard the person who had come say:

"You seem distracted; is something on your mind?"

As if struck by lightning, Nami stopped wiping her tears, looked up blankly, and saw Redio in her blurred vision.

Redio knelt down, sat in front of her, reached out and wiped away the tears on her face, and smiled, "How about I perform another magic trick for you?"

Chapter 72 Exchange

[Chapter Introduction Series: Executive Vice President Miss Quan, Sunday, February 22nd: "Come On!"]

[A girl wearing a hat on the small boat with the dragon flag is ready to set sail, waving loudly to the karate fishman, the blond young man, and Robin.]

*******************************************************

"...What are you doing here?"

Nami sniffed and tried to turn her head away, but Redio pulled her back with his hand as he wiped away her tears. She whispered, "I told you not to come looking for me."

Redio said, "Don't make me laugh. What kind of captain takes orders from his crew?"

Nami stared at him intently.

Redio laughed, "Do you remember why I went to sea? I challenged Kuro to a duel to find a way to become stronger. The sea is vast, and the world is vast. People like Nami and Arlong can be taken down as soon as I find the right Devil Fruit to eat."

"And it's 'domineering'!"

He raised his hand and gently clenched his fist. "After you left, I was lucky enough to find a good teacher who taught me this peculiar power. In the Grand Line, true masters must master this power. It's one thing for Kuro and his crew to be ignorant, but Arlong and his gang of fishmen from Fishman Island in the Grand Line don't even know Haki. They can only come to the East Blue to act arrogantly. Such bumpkins don't even inspire any interest in a serious fight with them..."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Nami wiped her face with her left hand. "What I, a weak woman, see as a nightmare is actually quite fragile. Is the reason I feel desperate just because I'm so useless? Do you have to ridicule me?"

Redio asked her, "Am I that kind of person?"

"..." Nami stubbornly turned her face away. "So, do you want me to beg you again? Thank you, but I'll figure out my own way."

Redio turned her face back and laughed, "I told you, I'll do another magic trick for you." With that, he flipped his hand, and a black headband woven with spells appeared out of thin air.

"Just wear this thing,"

Redio placed the "Heaven and Tyrant" before her, saying, "Any supernatural power will be forever lost to you. It will immediately sacrifice all your potential energy in exchange for a body stronger than mine. You will possess pure physical potential."

Nami didn't say anything, and picked up the black headband.

In the few seconds it took her eyes to meet Redio's, she gritted her teeth and placed the "Heaven and Tyrant" sign on her head. Instantly, a strange line of text appeared before her eyes…

You will lose all your domineering aura, including the one currently dormant within you, and any that you might potentially cultivate in the future. Are you sure?

Nami paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm sure."

[If you were to obtain a powerful Devil Fruit in the future, eating it would only turn you into a landlubber who can't swim, and you wouldn't gain any special abilities. Are you sure?]

Nami looked at Redio and said, "I'm sure."

Human beings possess boundless potential, even capable of turning imagination into unbelievable reality, but all of this will forever be beyond your reach. Are you sure?

"I'm sure." Nami closed her eyes.

After she finished speaking, the black incantation-woven headband on her head quietly disappeared, seemingly becoming one with her and merging into her flesh and blood.

Redio gently held her hand, observing the changes detected by the system panel.

But what's even more noticeable to the naked eye is Nami's physique and limbs.

Originally, she was quite fit, but her healthy, athletic figure gradually swelled up and became more defined.

The muscles in her shoulders (deltoids), arms (biceps, triceps), and forearms became more defined, and even the muscles in her thighs and calves grew larger...

You have permanently hired Nami.

"..."

Nami opened her eyes, stared blankly at Redio for a few seconds, and then stood up.

She clenched her fist and glanced at her right forearm, which had been swollen from the fall. It had already healed and the swelling had gone down on its own. Even the scratches she had made on her left arm where she had the Arlong Pirates tattoo had healed, and the scabs fell off at the slightest touch.

Redio glanced at her. Although her muscle mass had increased significantly, it wasn't exaggerated to the point of looking like a muscleman. It was far from the state of his or Zoro's muscles being engorged with blood after training.

If Nami used to look like a pretty and cute young woman, now she's a strong and sexy young woman who doesn't look like someone to mess with at first glance.

"How are you feeling?" Redio asked with a smile, standing up as well.

"It's amazing..."

Nami still had some tear stains on her cheeks and said softly, "It seems like the world has become much quieter."

"Huh? What are you still doing here?"

Not far away, a fishman walked over from the shore. It was the same fishman who had injured Nami earlier. When he saw Redio standing with Nami, he said unhappily, "And who is this human?"

Redio gave Nami an encouraging push.

Nami hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the fishman.

"What kind of look is that?" the fishman glared at Nami. "Instead of running away crying, you're walking towards me? Humans are really..."

Nami still harbored fear of the fish-man, and subconsciously slapped him hard. With a "smack," the fish-man's disdainful expression remained, and he was already spinning away like a top.

The merman flew through the air, spraying blood in circles as it smashed through trees, flying more than two kilometers with a single slap. Finally, with a loud "boom," it crashed into the mast of the pink new ship moored on the shore, breaking it and leaving it hanging crookedly, twitching and its fate unknown.

"Nami...you!?" A voice filled with disbelief and shock came from behind.

Nami herself was shocked by her current power. She turned to look behind Reddio and murmured, "Nojiko..."

"What happened to you?" Nami's older sister, Nojiko, rushed over, anxiously grabbing Nami's hand that had just slapped the fishman away, looking it over from left to right. "What exactly happened?"

I'll explain these things to you later.

Reddio pulled Nojiko back, patted Nami's firm and elastic arm, and laughed, "Nami has important things to do. Right?"

Ah Long!

Nami was initially a little flustered, but she immediately calmed down upon hearing this.

She clenched her fist, a sense of unprecedented calm washing over her, and smiled gently at her sister, "Nochigo, wait for me. I'll be right back."
