Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

The moment Peter realized this, his eyes lit up.

When he redeemed the Six Styles of the Navy, the product description mentioned that the Six Styles of the Navy could awaken Armament Haki and Observation Haki after long-term practice.

Peter was initially quite looking forward to it, but after waiting for two whole months without seeing any signs of awakening, he gradually put it out of his mind.

But now it seems that the reason I hadn't been able to awaken my Haki before was entirely due to my low level of combat.

Sure enough, when facing an opponent of Hulk's caliber, a single, accidental flash of inspiration is enough to awaken Armament Haki.

Realizing that his Armament Haki had awakened, Peter naturally hoped to fully master it in this battle.

Even if you don't reach the level of Flowing Sakura in one go, you should at least be able to control it freely.

He then decisively abandoned the idea of ​​using ranged attacks and focused solely on close combat with the Hulk.

Bang bang bang!

Peter's figure flashed wildly in front of Hulk, launching attacks on Hulk from all directions.

In just a dozen seconds, Peter delivered hundreds of punches to Hulk.

However, without exception, none of these attacks triggered Armament Haki, and they were no different from scratching Hulk.

Just as Peter was beginning to doubt whether he had guessed wrong and that he hadn't awakened Armament Haki,

A strange feeling welled up inside me.

He subconsciously looked down and, sure enough, noticed that his fist was covered with a layer of black substance the moment he threw the punch.

Boom!

The sound of the fists hitting Hulk was duller than before.

"Aww!!!"

Hulk cried out in pain once more, his massive body flying backward uncontrollably as if struck by a speeding train, crashing into a pile of rubble and crushing large chunks of brick into dust.

Holy crap!

Tony's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in the distance, and even Gwen and Felicia couldn't help but cover their mouths in astonishment:

"What just happened?! Peter actually punched that monster away?!"

Could it be that... Peter got stronger yet again during his fight with Hulk?!

At the heart of the battlefield, Peter looked at his fist with a thoughtful expression.

I'm sure I've awakened Armament Haki, but why does it work sometimes and not other times?

How was that punch that was just thrown different from the previous attacks?

Peter quickly recalled his punch, and finally concluded that... his emotions when he threw that punch were clearly more... agitated?!

Could it be because of this?

It seems that in the world of One Piece, Armament Haki is a kind of power of belief, meaning that you can only control this power if you believe you are strong.

Once your mindset changes, not only will you lose your domineering aura, but you'll even become ugly, thus turning into a complete couch potato...

You're right, aren't you, Gecko Moria?

So...should I change my mindset?

He firmly believes that no matter how strong the Hulk becomes due to anger, he can defeat him fair and square.

Thinking this, Peter looked at Hulk, who was rising from the ruins, hesitated for a moment, and then unleashed a long-lost martial arts technique on him—One-Finger Zen combined with Lion's Roar:

"Come here!"

Sure enough, upon noticing Peter's action, a tic-tac-toe mark instantly appeared on Hulk's forehead, who had just climbed out of the rubble.

He roared and swung his hands together like a hammer at Peter.

In response to Hulk's move, Peter forced himself to abandon his speed advantage and instead raised his fist at his opponent.

boom!

The next second, Peter was completely slammed into the ground by Hulk...

Boom boom boom!

Enraged, Hulk seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of punches on Peter, who was slammed into the ground!

Having lost the initiative, Peter could only instinctively raise his hands to protect his face in defense, while simultaneously activating the power of the Horse Talisman to quickly heal his injuries.

But the enraged Hulk was simply too powerful.

Hulk, blinded by rage, knew nothing of fatigue.

He just kept throwing punches at Peter, and with each punch, the violent force made the earth tremble violently.

"Peter!"

Tony, Gwen, and the others, who were watching from a distance, were all terrified by the sight and instinctively wanted to rush over to help and check if Peter was still alive.

But just as they were heading this way, they suddenly heard Peter's roar coming from the deep pit:

"Have you made enough of a scene?!"

boom!

The next second, Hulk's massive body crashed to the ground, while at the same time, Peter's figure soared into the sky.

The moment Peter reappeared, Gwen and the others noticed something was different.

Peter's suit was originally white and gold, but now the upper part of the suit has turned completely black!

Armament Haki Hardening!

Looking at the Armament Haki covering his upper body.

Although that domineering aura quickly faded away like the tide after he knocked Hulk away.

But Peter clearly felt the changes in his body.

Now, he can be certain.

Armament Haki is the power of a belief.

However, for Peter, this belief was not about "I am the best in the world", but rather "I can protect my loved ones and make sure they are never harmed".

Previously, Peter's interpretation of his own beliefs was flawed, which led to him being completely overwhelmed by the Hulk throughout the entire fight.

Although they wouldn't die, they really couldn't find even a moment's chance to fight back.

He didn't stop until he heard Gwen and Felicia's voices and rolled his eyes at them as they prepared to rush up to help him, regardless of the danger.

Peter then realized what he truly cared about.

The bottleneck that had been holding him back was also broken in an instant.

The Armament Haki, which had only been used twice before, was not only perfectly activated, but also instantly covered half of his body! Even the intensity of the Armament Haki seemed to have increased to a higher level as a result.

Looking at Gwen and Felicia in the distance, Peter couldn't help but silently recite a phrase in his mind:

So you guys were the key to my mastery of Armament Haki...

Just as Peter finally figured out how to use Armament Haki effectively, Hulk once again rose from the ruins.

Enraged, he wanted to replicate his previous success.

But this time, his plan was destined to fail.

Facing Hulk's incoming fist, Peter chose to meet it head-on without dodging or dodging.

The difference this time was that he wasn't raising a fist, but... his entire palm!

Armament Haki Hardening: Hell Thrust!

Under the stunned gazes of Gwen and the others, Peter's palm struck Hulk's fist, and the two were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

During the stalemate, Peter suddenly withdrew two fingers.

Zizizi!

The moment his little and ring fingers were retracted, the lightning on Peter's body surged dramatically.

Amidst the surging lightning, Peter completely overwhelmed the Hulk, who was twice his size, and slammed him to the ground.

"It's time to end this."

Under Hulk's terrified gaze, Peter slowly retracted his middle finger.

puff~

The moment the middle finger was retracted, Hulk's palm was pierced, but Peter... his offensive did not end there.

The index finger, undeterred, landed on Hulk's chest, instantly piercing through it completely...
