Konoha's Mission Master

Yakumo felt a sudden clarity in his mind, and the power called hope had already entered a state of silence within his body.

"Who exactly is this person who left the message?" Yakumo was filled with endless curiosity. Was it just the system's wicked sense of humor, or was it the powerful person who developed the game back then?

He didn't know that this was both very important and not so important.

But then system notifications flashed one after another...

[Hint: The progress of obtaining the Proof of Hegemony has reached 83.5%]

[Hint: The world barriers have been broken, and the combat systems have merged!]

[Hint: Players and their teammates can master all three types of Haki, consume Devil Fruits, and learn swordsmanship from the One Piece world.]

Yakumo's face lit up with an excited smile. He couldn't wait to take out Whitebeard's notes on training Armament Haki from his storage scroll and read them carefully... This time, he was finally able to see the words on the scroll clearly.

He had been waiting for this day for many years.

Armament Haki - Introduction

Armament Haki is an extension of physical strength. A stronger physique makes it easier to master Armament Haki. It is energy flowing within the body, a miracle created by the human body itself, and the key to resisting Devil Fruits.

The first chapter: Reflections.

Between movement and stillness, seek the energy flowing within the body, manipulate this energy, and guide it to cover the body surface to form defense or attack.

The second chapter is about training.

Training by expending physical strength or using Armament Haki in battle can both improve the strength of Armament Haki, with the latter being the best method.

However, it consumes a great deal of physical strength and requires a lot of food to replenish it.

The third chapter.

The levels of Armament Haki.

From initially covering only fingers or fists, it has expanded to cover arms, and even the upper body and the entire body.

This is an accumulation of Armament Haki.

Everyone's Armament Haki has a limit; when it is depleted, it takes time to recover.

Armament Haki is related to physical constitution and stamina, but it is also partially independent of physical constitution, yet it is linked to stamina.

Armament Haki - Advanced Techniques

There are two directions for advancing Armament Haki. One is concentration, which involves gathering all the Armament Haki in the body into a single point and compressing it to make it a harder and more powerful energy.

On the high seas, Garp is a prime example of this. He gathers all the Armament Haki in his body into his right fist, which can unleash an attack comparable to that of a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea). The downside is that he abandons defense.

Originally, Armament Haki was in a flowing state within the body, but when it condensed on the skin, it was transformed into a solid that no longer flowed.

The second method is to make the domineering energy gathered on the fist flow again, exchanging great power for minimal cost. The downside is that it consumes a lot of mental energy and can easily lead to mental fatigue.

Chapter Four: Attention and the High Realm.

Note that everyone's Armament Haki has an upper limit, or rather a bottleneck, which depends on the individual's physical strength.

Note that Armament Haki can cover one's weapons, but this requires a very high degree of compatibility between the weapon and the user, or a very high level of understanding of Armament Haki.

Note that Armament Haki can be used to nurture and enhance weapons, turning them into black blades.

The highest realm is reached when you have mastered the techniques of Armament Haki compression and flow. You can then try to combine Armament Haki with Conqueror's Haki, which is the ultimate realm of Armament Haki!

It is currently known that Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, could perfectly fuse Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, while Shanks and Kaido could only achieve a rudimentary fusion.

Shanks' fusion level is higher than Kaido's, but the difference in power between the two is not significant. This is because Kaido's physical strength is higher, representing the pinnacle of the sea's Armament Haki.

But the fusion of two dominant colors is definitely the domain of genius!

Clearly, Whitebeard only knew about that field but had not actually entered it, and his words contained a hint of envy.

Putting aside Devil Fruits, to reach the pinnacle, one needs Haki that can suppress everything, and of course, the most important thing is the fusion of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

Yakumo opened the panel.

Active: Conqueror's Haki Lv.1 + (Mental Shock)

That's normal; Conqueror's Haki awakens in people with strong mental power and a kingly aura.

Yakumo meets both of these conditions, and his intelligence is absolutely at the pinnacle of this world.

After all, a true man is born between heaven and earth and cannot live below others!

Yakumo checked it carefully again.

He couldn't find the entry for Armament Haki on the system interface, which meant he needed to start training Armament Haki from scratch.

He then picked up Whitebeard's experience scroll and read it carefully. The entries were clear and detailed, clearly Whitebeard's masterpiece, without any embellishment or concealment.

On the other hand, Yakumo was not in a hurry to improve his Conqueror's Haki.

After all, he already possessed the Soul-Slaying attack, which directly strikes the soul, so a simple mental shock seemed insignificant.

A few hours later, Yakumo put away the scroll, formed a wooden cocoon to wrap himself up, and had his shadow clones carry the wooden cocoon from below.

Slowly close your eyes and feel the flow of energy within your body.

It should be... the flow of the body's fundamental power!

Chapter 340 Proof of Domination: Consuming a Devil Fruit

At three in the morning, wooden cocoons hung in the sky.

Yakumo opened his eyes. He had gained some understanding of Armament Haki, but... he was still some distance from mastering it.

This distance can hopefully be completely eliminated within a few days, at which point I will be able to master Armament Haki.

He was very much looking forward to seeing how much Armament Haki could be raised to the strongest level of the ocean after spending 140,000 gold coins.

Amidst the turbulent airflow, the wooden cocoon is freed from its encapsulation.

With a flash of golden light, Yakumo appeared in a cave on the edge of the deserted island, where he was imprisoning a pirate with a sin value of three thousand.

Because this cave is located on a deserted island near the sea and is perpetually shrouded in darkness, it is extremely cold and damp, with a thick layer of lichen and moss growing on its inner walls.

Yakumo teleported into the cave, where the person was fast asleep in a cage formed by blood-red vines.

Black gas gathered and formed characters before Yakumo's eyes.

Name: Ram Barthalom

Sin Value: 3421 (Extremely Evil)

Even after the Condemner's mission is completed, he still retains the privilege of viewing the sin value panel; this ability has been permanently granted to him.

This man's pirate crew occupied a small island and enslaved the island's tribe. He was the pirate captain's confidant and also the most sinful person, as he had a penchant for eating raw infants.

Therefore, Yakumo did not kill him immediately, but brought him back and imprisoned him, making him a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Yakumo did not wake the sleeping pirates, but instead began to form hand seals. It was a complex ninjutsu. The surrounding air became slightly cold, and a deathly, ghostly wind blew through the cave.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

The pirate was enveloped in grayish-white dust. He suddenly awoke as if witnessing a terrifying scene. He struggled with all his might, but could not shake off the grayish-white fragments covering his entire body.

As time went by, the gray fragments completely enveloped him, his shape began to distort, and his height reached two meters.

The outer fragments dissipated, revealing Blackbeard Teach inside!

During this time, Yakumo would occasionally use Shadow Clone Jutsu to practice various techniques of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu. With the help of the scroll left by Orochimaru, he finally reached perfection some time ago.

The special term for "perfect" is "strengthen control".

Furthermore, the sacrifice used by Yakumo was just an ordinary pirate, a weakling with no more than 20 points in any single attribute. Even if Blackbeard broke free of control, with that kind of physical strength... he could be suppressed in no time.

Blackbeard opened his eyes and looked at Yakumo, his eyes filled with anger or hatred. Yakumo began to form hand seals... A struggle appeared on his face, but he gradually lost his composure.

Goodbye, Blackbeard.

There was no need for the two to talk...

With the combined power of the Perfected Impure World Reincarnation and his extremely high intelligence, Yakumo sealed Blackbeard's will. He then took out two fruits from his storage scroll and released the small ball from its seal.

Blackbeard's corpse appeared in the cave. Due to the seal, blood was still flowing from the wounds. The muscles were thick and elastic, and the body still retained body temperature, as if it had just died.

Although it was dead, it still exuded a powerful aura, giving people the illusion of being stared at by an unparalleled beast.

Blackbeard's spirit, completely suppressed, showed signs of struggling, but was quickly and decisively suppressed by Yakumo.

"Use the Dark Fruit to extract the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Soul-Soul Fruit from the corpse," Yakumo ordered.

Blackbeard emitted thick black smoke from his hands as he approached the corpse, finally placing his right palm on his left chest and activating his Devil Fruit power to begin the peeling process.

Yakumo's eyes lit up; his guess had indeed come true.

If he eats the Dark-Dark Fruit and then uses its power to strip the Dark-Dark Fruit from Blackbeard's body through Edo Tensei.

Double the Dark Fruit?

"I have extraordinary talent and strength, so it's reasonable for me to exploit a bug like this, right?" Yakumo thought to himself.

Inside Blackbeard's corpse, a dark ball of energy surged out and was stuffed into one of the fruits. The originally ordinary pineapple began to twist and mutate, eventually transforming into a large, deep purple cantaloupe covered with spiral patterns.

This change signifies that the Dark Fruit has been successfully extracted.

"Continue extracting Soul Fruits."

Under the control of the Impure World Reincarnation, Blackbeard began to move repeatedly, pressing his right hand, which was enveloped in black energy, onto the surface of another heart.

Five minutes later, Blackbeard infused the fruit with transparent energy. Under the influence of the Devil Fruit, the watermelon was transformed into a bunch of pale purple grapes with spiral patterns all over its surface.

Yakumo put away the two Devil Fruits, clasped his hands together, and the blood-red tree roots beneath his feet broke through the earth, gradually sinking into the depths of the earth as they wrapped around Blackbeard's body.

The second one, the black and white balls are released.

This body is that of Jack the Drought.

"Extract the fruit from this corpse."

Three minutes later, Yakumo obtained the Zoan-type Elephant Fruit, Ancient Zoan type, Mammoth form, and put away the reanimated Blackbeard using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

With hands clasped together, he dragged Jack deep into the earth through the blood-red tree roots.
