Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 44 What is Domineering Aura?

Moon Island, coastline.

The warships have raised their sails and are ready to set sail at any time.

On the shore, the deputy commander of the Goa Kingdom's army, along with a group of soldiers, looked on with gratitude.

"Lieutenant Loya, if it weren't for your navy's rescue this time, we would have already died at the hands of the Buggy Pirates. If we have the chance in the future, we must come to the Goa Kingdom as guests."

There will be an opportunity.

Loya exchanged pleasantries with a forced smile.

The Goa Kingdom is less than a day's journey from Branch 153. If you were to float down in a barrel like Luffy, it would only take one to two days.

It's very convenient to travel back and forth.

However, under normal circumstances, the relationship between the kingdom's army and navy is not very good, with a kind of arrogant disdain for others.

In the eyes of many soldiers from member states, the navy is merely a group of thugs who catch pirates, and their status is far inferior to that of those who guard the kingdom's security, especially the nobles who hold high-ranking positions in the military.

After a brief, perfunctory exchange, the Goa Kingdom's ship quickly departed.

Loya walked toward Zoro, who was standing on the shore, seemingly contemplating life.

Nami didn't have any particular thoughts, but Zoro was different. This guy was truly powerful, and apart from being directionally challenged and sometimes a bit dense, he basically had no flaws.

Loya approached Zoro and asked with a smile, "You don't have a ship, would you like to leave on my warship?"

"unnecessary."

Zoro arrogantly refused, not wanting to owe Loya any more favors; his experience on the island was enough to make him feel ashamed.

"I will leave on my own!"

"Stop bragging."

Loya rolled his eyes and said in an unquestionable tone, "Stop talking nonsense and get on the warship. Otherwise, with your ability to get lost, you'll never be able to leave this island."

"."

Zoro's brain heats up.

Damn it, how could I underestimate him!

Who would get lost!

Considering that he might indeed be unable to leave the island, Zoro hesitated for a long time before following Loya with a dark expression.

He'll go down to the next island!

Strange, I feel like I've forgotten something.

The warship sailed into the sea, heading towards the location of Branch 153.

As night fell, Loya arrived alone in the prison cell. The marine on duty immediately stood up when he saw Loya arrive.

"Lieutenant Loya!"

"You all go outside and keep watch. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"yes!"

Without any hesitation, the marines immediately went outside the prison and stood guard on both sides of the gate.

Although they were puzzled as to why Lieutenant Loya was interrogating the prisoner so late at night, it was not something they could ask; questioning their superiors would not do them any good.

Loya, carrying an oil lamp, entered the cell where Bucky was imprisoned. Since there were no sea stone handcuffs, he specifically ordered Bucky's feet to be cut off and locked in a metal box.

This action made Bucky completely give up on escaping.

"Clatter!"

The oil lamp was placed on the ground, providing a little light to the cell.

Bucky looked up and saw that it was Loya. His legs trembled involuntarily. Although he had received emergency treatment for his lower body, he still felt a stinging pain.

"It's you!"

The hatred in his eyes was undisguised.

"Don't be so fierce, I only hit you twice."

Loya spoke calmly.

Like Usopp, who can be lively and energetic even with a shattered skull, Buggy's injury is really not that serious.

"Splash splash~~"

Hammer, pliers, charcoal fire, soldering iron.

A variety of torture instruments were laid out in front of Bucky, and each one could leave Bucky with painful memories.

Bucky's expression changed drastically, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Loya smiled, a smile that, under the flickering light of the oil lamp, was eerily terrifying.

"I'll ask, you answer, understand?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

Bucky nodded vigorously.

Loya nodded slightly. He had little interest in interrogating prisoners, but he would do so without hesitation if necessary.

"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.

"Domineering, what is that?"

"Whoosh!"

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 domineering, so domineering!"

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 remember now!"

"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 all 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 sword again and again, his brow beaded with sweat, clearly indicating that he had been training 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!

"Come with me."

"Where to?"

"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!"
