The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

However, given their personalities, they always obediently stayed by Hancock's side to help her, and even when Hancock tried to send them away, they wouldn't leave.

"Don't you want to do these chores?"

Luther admired Hancock's coquettish manner, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Ok!"

Hancock nodded emphatically, saying that making her do these chores was worse than killing her.

Wiping items, mopping floors, cleaning, washing dishes...

You have to be careful in everything you do, because if you're not careful, her strength can cause damage.

If any damage is caused, Gion's merciless tongue will definitely lash out at her, and she's had enough.

"Master, I don't want to do these things! You can even make me kill someone!"

The people of Amazon Lily are known for their fierce and ruthless nature; the female warriors who emerge from them are all ruthless killers.

For Hancock, murder and robbery are her true calling; nothing else really works.

"With your skinny arms and legs, you can't even beat me, how are you going to kill for me?"

Luther chuckled and shook his head, then, seeing Hancock's increasingly anxious expression, changed the subject:

"Alright, it's not impossible for you to help me kill someone, but there's one condition!"

"Just tell me what you need!"

Hancock looked up in surprise, her eyes filled with hope.

To escape the sea of ​​suffering, a small request is nothing at all.

“Hold on for five minutes under Gion’s command, and if you do, you can go do other things,” Luther said with a smile.

"5 minutes! Absolutely no problem!"

Hancock agreed without hesitation.

She is 100% no match for Gion right now, but she still has a good chance of holding out for 5 minutes.

"Alright, I can give you a year to prepare. During that time, Gion and I can provide you with training, whether it's Haki, physical techniques, or anything else."

Luther was very concerned about Hancock's future development.

Having recovered from the wasted years as a slave, and now in her prime for improving her strength, Hancock's talent makes it almost certain that she will reach top-tier combat power in the future.

"It won't even take a year; I can try it right now..."

Before Hancock could finish her confident words, she felt a chill on her neck, and a bloody mark appeared on her snow-white neck.

Immediately following was the sound of a sword being sheathed.

Hancock froze, feeling a slight pain in her neck.

Hancock had no doubt that if Gion wanted to kill her, she would already be a dead woman.

Her lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were filled with resentment.

His own boastful words now seem like a joke.

“You are far inferior to Gion now. I might not even be able to last 5 minutes.”

Luther's voice grew louder as he approached, and before Hancock could even react, he was already beside her, his hand resting on her injured spot.

The two of them gave Hancock an unparalleled sense of awe.

She never knew that the gap between herself and these two people was so vast.

My encounter with Luther a few days ago felt more like an adult playing with a child.

However, this thought only lasted a few seconds before she abruptly raised her head, her burning gaze fixed on Luther:

"Master, I beg you to teach me how to become stronger!"

"No problem."

Seeing Hancock's change of heart, Luther smiled.

"Be prepared to suffer!"

"No matter how tough it is, it's a small matter!"

Hancock took a deep breath, her tone extremely serious, her dark eyes filled with determination.

She will become stronger, and a year later she will definitely be able to last 5 minutes against Gion.

Even when she grows up, her strength will surely surpass that wretched woman Gion, and she will repay the humiliation that Gion inflicted on her a hundredfold!

"Very good eyesight. All I can teach you is practical combat and Conqueror's Haki. Compared to practical combat, if you can master Conqueror's Haki, you might have a chance to challenge Gion in the future."

Luther smiled slightly, and a domineering aura suddenly burst forth from his body.

In just a moment, Hancock was completely stunned.

Thanks to Luther's lack of further action, Hancock recovered after a few seconds.

She bit her red lips lightly, her unwillingness causing a domineering aura that she couldn't control to burst forth from her body.

The two opposing forces of Conqueror's Haki converged in the air, maintaining a stalemate under Luther's control.

"The key to Conqueror's Haki lies in its momentum. Once awakened, it becomes your power. The reason you can't control it now is because you don't yet understand this momentum."

While exchanging Conqueror's Haki with Hancock, Luther explained to her:

"To understand this power, you must first understand the source of your greatest pride and domineering confidence. Whether you are the world's ruler or the world's greatest swordsman, believing in yourself is the source of Conqueror's Haki."

He seemed to be explaining to Hancock, but he was also telling Gion a story.

After several months of building up momentum following Wano Country, Gion is now almost one step away from awakening its full potential.

"Is it the source of my pride...?"

Hancock smiled beautifully and proudly raised her neck:

"I will be the most beautiful and powerful woman in this world!"

When she shouted those words arrogantly, the domineering aura around her reached its peak, even stronger than before.

However, even though this nascent and not very strong Conqueror's Haki has become much stronger, it only allows Luther to increase the power of his attacks by one point.

Gion, on the other hand, looked at Hancock with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Even if the strongest doesn't include swordsmen, she can't pretend she didn't hear it.

Feeling Gion's gaze, Hancock glared back without backing down.

Anyway, with Luther by her side, she wasn't afraid of Gion.

Gion sensed this gaze, and her smile only grew wider.

Luther, however, paid no attention to their interaction and continued his story:

"After actively releasing Conqueror's Haki, through continuous training, one can reach the level of overwhelming power that Conqueror's Haki can deliver to a physical attack. Further on, by mastering special techniques, one can learn Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, which can greatly enhance the attack power of the move."

"Intimidation and entanglement... how do I learn them?"

Hancock's eyes were filled with longing; she knew that reaching the level of Entanglement was essential to defeating Gion.

"The best way to master Conqueror's Haki, besides constantly clashing with opponents who also possess Conqueror's Haki, is to continuously control your Conqueror's Haki, first to the point where you can release it with a thought."

As for other forms of Haki and physical techniques, Luther almost never taught them.

However, he has studied Conqueror's Haki extensively, and it is an area where he is relatively confident.

"Besides Conqueror's Haki?"

Hancock's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and she quickly inquired about other matters.

She didn't believe that Conqueror's Haki alone would be enough to defeat Gion; at least just now, Gion's speed was something she couldn't handle at all.

"As for the others, Haki is divided into Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki. You should know that," Luther said.

"Yes, I know Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki."

As Hancock spoke, she proudly raised her pink fist, which was coated with Armament Haki.

Upon seeing Hancock's presentation, Gion gave Luther a teasing look.

Luther's face was also slightly dark. His current level of Armament Haki was only this level, and he had only awakened it by force due to his strong physique.

I don't even know when I'll ever master the Ryuo form.

Fortunately, he has the added attack of Solar Flare, so he doesn't rely much on Armament Haki.

He didn't care much about the side effects of Armament Haki, such as breaking elemental transformation.

The world's strongest elemental ability user is either in the Navy or has a very good personal relationship with him, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

At most, he only needs to cover his entire body with Armament Haki to prevent some overpowered Devil Fruits from getting close.

Besides, if he can't solve it, there's still Gion.

Suppressing his chaotic emotions, Luther maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface:

"For in-depth learning of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, you can ask Gion for a sparring session, and she will teach you these skills in battle."

Seemingly aware of Hancock's reluctance, Luther added:

"If you don't have Observation Haki, you'll never be able to beat Gion."

With just one sentence, Hancock obediently shut her mouth, her eyes, filled with fighting spirit, fixed on Gion.

"Besides Haki, all that's left is the Devil Fruit ability."

As Luther spoke, he pointed to the fruit plate next to him, on which were two fruits of different shapes.

Chapter 142 Determining the Path to the Future

"A Devil Fruit?"

Hancock had heard of Devil Fruits before.

Her bright eyes were fixed on the two fruits, a hint of longing in them.

To have her throat slit without even seeing the blade was an immense humiliation for someone who came from the Amazon Lily.
