I'm at the top of One Piece

"Ouch!!! Mercer~ It hurts so much. It hurts so much, my head is splitting open, my spirit is about to break apart? Waaaaah!!!"

Seeing Perona rolling around on the ground throwing a tantrum with great energy, Messer breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Perona's spirit had been beaten up by Garp and might have caused some problems.

At this moment, Mercer couldn't help but glare at Garp. The next instant, Mercer clutched his head and squatted down, letting out a painful "hissing" sound.

Garp's face turned red. He had actually been pecked in the eye by a fledgling bird. Even if he was caught off guard, it was still embarrassing.

We've embarrassed ourselves to the point of disgrace.

At the same time, a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat also rose within me.

Garp looked at Perona, his face dark, and said, "You spirit girl, want to do it again?"

The spirit Perona covered her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Garp with a mournful face, saying:

"If you fall for it again, will you retaliate?"

Garp's face darkened, and he was extremely embarrassed. "That was a mistake. I mistook you for Messer. Don't worry, even if I get hit by your trap later, I won't beat you up."

Upon hearing the name Mercer, Perona's eyes lit up. She turned to look at Mercer and then darted into his chest.

A tiny hand appeared.

The white, transparent ghost doll, with a tail, rushed toward Garp.

This time, seeing the Negative Ghost flying towards him, Garp's expression turned serious. He used Armament Haki to turn his right hand into a dark black color and grabbed at the Negative Ghost.

Snapped!

The air crackled between his fingers, and the negative phantom was crushed and dissipated into the air. Seeing this, Garp laughed triumphantly.

"Domineering spirit is what transcends everything. No matter how fancy it is, I will crush it with one punch."

Messer blinked, looking at Garp's arrogant expression, which was nothing like the Garp he remembered.

Thinking of this,

Moses suddenly understood why he had found that power in Garp.

Thinking of this,

Moses suddenly asked, "Grandpa, what about Conqueror's Haki?"

"Can Conqueror's Haki attack Pepe's spirit?"

"Conqueror's Haki?" Perona's voice echoed in Messer's mind. "Is that Haki too?"

Mercer nodded, then noticed that the girl had somehow moved back to the area around his head.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Entering a state of oneness with nature, he sensed the fluctuations in Perona's spiritual breathing frequency, synchronized his own spiritual aura with that of Perona, and used Observation Haki as a medium to connect, releasing Observation Haki outwards, resulting in a slight pushing sensation.

As Mercer watched Perona slowly being squeezed out of his brain, his face began to flush red, and he felt an extreme sense of powerlessness.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of him, with silent black and red arcs of electricity wrapped between his fingers.

He grabbed the ankle of the spirit Perona that had appeared outside and pulled it outwards.

A very silky smooth feeling came to mind.

The spirit Perona was pulled away by her ankle.

[C+ Rank Gift: Observation Haki] (Can be freely upgraded)

[Blessing Effect: An innate perceptive ability, the power of "perception," a strong ability to sense the surrounding atmosphere, granting the special effect of "sight and perception," and permanently accelerating the growth of Perception/Agility/Mystic attributes to C+ quality or below.]

[Blessed Assessment: Among the three treasures of "Essence, Energy, and Spirit," this pertains to the power of "Spirit"—perception is the prerequisite for everything!]

Garp's strength is currently at its peak in his prime, so he is rated A+, not like an old man at 78.

Perona's Ghost-Ghost Fruit's spirit form effect is similar to the elemental transformation of Logia-type Devil Fruits; it is affected by Armament Haki, but it's normal that it's ineffective against weak Haki. The original work doesn't state that Perona's spirit form is immune to Armament Haki, so this book establishes that she is immune to Armament Haki below Rank B-.

Chapter 56: Overwhelming Haki!

"Waaaah!! No!"

A spirit's tiny feet, wearing little leather shoes, were kicking wildly, and Garp was caught off guard and kicked in the face.

His face darkened, and he released his grip on her ankle.

The spirit Perona darted into Mercer's chest again, and the next second, Mercer felt his heart being held in her arms once more.

Although there was no real tactile sensation, my heart still skipped a beat in response.

Looking at Garp with some helplessness, Messer asked, "Grandpa, what were you doing just now?"

"Conqueror's Haki envelopment." Garp said with a dark face, "Just like Armament Haki envelopment, it's a technique for using Haki."

Mercer nodded knowingly, "Then it seems that Conqueror's Haki Entanglement can capture spirits relatively easily."

Seeing the black and red arcs of electricity surging on Garp's right hand, Mercer hesitated for a moment, then entered a state of divine inspiration and grasped it with his right hand.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel anything.

To Karp's surprise, Messer looked him in the eyes and said:

"Grandpa, is Conqueror's Haki like Armament Haki? Does it have offensive and defensive properties?"

Hearing this, Garp looked at Mather with an unusually subtle expression: "Observation Haki is a power of perception, but I just noticed that you seem to be using it with a different effect."

Indeed, Conqueror's Haki, like Armament Haki, possesses both offensive and defensive characteristics.

The electric arc I'm holding looks dangerous, but it's actually pretty useless.

However, generally speaking, Conqueror's Haki is extremely difficult to control, so many people are unaware of it. Those who can use Conqueror's Haki to create an aura usually don't pursue defensive effects.

After all, those who possess Conqueror's Haki are almost always fearless and troublemakers. People like that generally don't focus on defense; their offensive capabilities are immense.

“Hmm.” Garp said, looking at Mather with a somewhat subtle expression, “But speaking of which, your deadbeat father of yours could also use Conqueror’s Haki to wrap his body and block out the perception of Observation Haki.”

That's also one of the most common defensive effects of Conqueror's Haki.

Hearing this, Mercer's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest. "Pepe, come out and try again. I have a good idea."

A sullen voice rang out, sounding as if he had been dealt a blow.

"I'm really upset right now, don't mind me. Why is an old man so powerful? Is your grandfather a monster?"

"And what happened just now? It felt like I was being hooked with a fishhook and pulled outwards?"

Mercer chuckled and provoked her, saying, "You're not scared, are you? Hmm~ there's no danger, you coward."

"Who are you calling a coward?! Do you want to be pierced through by my little darlings?"

The spirit Perona, who immediately bristled, emerged from Mercer's chest with her front half, and put her hands on Mercer's shoulders after regaining her physical form, glaring at Mercer with a fierce face.

Mercer smiled, his eyes narrowing. "Yes, Pepe is the bravest. Let's give it a try."

"Let's try it then, who's afraid of who?"

Perona hooked her arm around Mercer's shoulder, twisted her body, stared at Garp with wide eyes, and pointed her left palm at him.

Having achieved his goal, Messer laughed and looked at Garp, who was looking around with a bored expression. "Grandpa, why don't you wrap your body in Conqueror's Haki? I'll let Pepe try again."

Speechless, Garp picked his nose, completely lacking any decorum. He shrugged and said, "Fine, fine, all you do is order your grandpa around."

I owed you something in my past life.

The tranquil black and red arcs of electricity instantly coiled around him, and at that moment, Garp's aura became terrifying.

He looked at the grandson and the spirit before him with a detached gaze. Suddenly, a feeling of utter helplessness arose in his heart.

A very unpleasant feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

Suppress your displeasure first.

Seeing that the spirit Perona was trembling as Garp's aura appeared, Messer had an idea. He used his Observation Haki, along with the aura of his own spirit body, to envelop Perona.

sudden,

A warm feeling arose in the spirit Perona's heart, and she stared wide-eyed at the colorless, transparent emanating from the circle around her that only she could see.

A spirit? No, no, no, it's not a spirit, it's something that only a spirit can emit.

Perona turned to look at Mercer, and seeing the tranquility in his eyes, she felt an unbelievable certainty in her heart, and laughed out loud, "Negative Specter."

Four ghost dolls shot out in quick succession from Garp's palm.

The rapid impact struck Garp, whose body was covered in Conqueror's Haki.

Puff puff puff puff!!

In the blink of an eye, it vanished like a bubble hitting a reef.

At the same time, the spirit Perona's eyes widened, and a terrifying mental shock was fed back from the ghost doll to her own spirit.

He only had time to glance back at Mercer, leaving behind the words "You tricked me," before his eyes rolled back, revealing the whites of his eyes, and he fell backward.

He watched as the spirit Perona released her shoulder, separating from his body like a piece of paper, and drifted to the floor unconscious.

Messer stared blankly at Garp, who was equally bewildered, and stammered, "She was knocked unconscious by your Conqueror's Haki?"

Garp, his face contorted with pain, looked at the unconscious spirit Perona on the ground and gave a dry laugh:

"It's her own mental and physical weakness that's the problem, so I can't blame her."

Messer nodded in understanding, then strode over to Garp, his eyes filled with a strong desire to learn more.

Just now, Observation Haki had been enveloping Perona's spirit body. While she was unconscious, Messer also sensed a strange fluctuation on her spirit body.

Reaching out to grasp Garp's arm, and looking up at him, Messe's eyes were filled with curiosity: "Grandpa, use your Conqueror's Haki to attack me. I think I just discovered something interesting."

Looking at Messer with a subtle gaze, Garp felt a sense of absurdity for some reason, but he was quite willing to beat Messer up openly.

With a thought,

His eyes widened.

The terrifying power of Conqueror's Haki struck Moses's heart.

An invisible current of air struck Mercer precisely.
