Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

"How short? Three years? Or one year? It's impossible for them to master Haki in just two or three months, right? Hiss..."

As he spoke, Burfat recalled the scene where Osi suddenly learned the Observation Haki just now, and his voice gradually became lower.

"[These three brats are not ordinary people, go ahead and mess with them!] These are Mr. Kaido's exact words." Jin was also looking at the three of them at this moment, as if trying to find out what was different about them.

"Hey, who are you three little brats? You shouldn't be an ordinary race?" Burfat thought of Osi's extraordinary strength, and without hesitation, he asked directly about their race.

There are many races in this world, and some of them look quite different from ordinary people, such as the Fur Tribe and the Merfolk.

There are some that you can't tell much difference from at first glance, such as the long-arm tribe and the long-leg tribe.

These special races often have their own different racial talents, and some of those with powerful talents can easily gain the power to crush ordinary people when they are children.

For example, Jhin only looks like he has a pair of wings more than an ordinary person, but his excellent physical fitness and ability to manipulate fire allow him to acquire strength that an ordinary person cannot achieve in a lifetime of practice through special training.

His clan was even called "the clan of gods" in ancient times.

And now Burfat suspected that the three of them were also some special race.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Of course we are... uh~ Sister La, are we still human now?" Osi was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered that his current body was no longer the ordinary human body he used to be.

La was unable to answer this question for a moment, because strictly speaking she was no longer a human, but just had a human appearance.

Having additionally inherited the power of Her Arkti, her inner self is actually gradually becoming more energetic over time, and she may eventually become some kind of higher-dimensional creature.

This wasn't a bad thing. Rather, it was that his current body was far superior to that of an ordinary human in every way. He possessed abundant strength, keen senses, excellent thinking abilities, and a lifespan that seemed to have no end...

And all this is just the beginning. As the body continues to develop, these abilities are still growing at a terrifying rate.

Now La can't see where the end is...

Just like that, in La's silence, Ober was the first to give his answer.

"Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be. Theoretically, our current race should be the Abyss Beast Clan, or 'Abyss Clan' would be more appropriate."

After all, the human soul is the dominant force now, so calling it a "beast" is a bit inappropriate.

"The Phantom Beast Tribe? A race I've never heard of. And [God]...?" This special word reminded Jin of his own race.

"You really aren't ordinary humans, are you? You're both gods and beasts, you sound like a pretty powerful race!"

Upon hearing that they were not pure humans like himself, Burfat's attitude seemed to become friendlier.

He was carefree and didn't ask any other questions. He drank the rest of the wine in the bottle in one gulp, then stood up and walked out of the house.

"Alright, let's go. Since it's Boss Kaido's order, I'll make an exception and teach you three brats a lesson!"

"Great!"

After hearing this, Ossi immediately followed happily.

……

In an open space far away from the residential area, Jin and Burfat stood casually, each holding a sheathed long knife in their hands, while three little ones sat on the ground with their eyes blindfolded at their feet.

Such a bizarre scene would probably make people who don't know the truth think it was an execution at first glance.

"The method of cultivating domineering aura is very simple. Just two words: 'get beaten!' The more you get beaten, the faster you awaken! The harder you get beaten, the stronger your domineering aura will be."

"And now all you have to do is dodge our attacks. How about it, it's very simple, right?" Burfat swung the scabbard in his hand, as if trying to find the feel.

Listening to the whirring sound of the wind, Ossi raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Uncle, I already know that Observation Haki, why do I need to cover my eyes?"

"Yeah. That's right, take off the cloth."

"Just take the beating, no need to hide." Burfat nodded, expressing his approval of Osi's level of observation Haki.

"what?!"

"Ouch! It hurts." Before O'Si could say anything else, Jhin suddenly hit O'Si with a stick from behind.

"You can't dodge attacks while distracted yet. You need to keep practicing."

"Okay~"

Osi obediently covered his eyes. After all, just sitting there and watching himself get beaten was a stupid thing to do, so he decided to delay it for as long as possible.

"Don't be discouraged. I just came up with a new idea. You can try it first." Burfat suddenly had an idea and showed a malicious smile.

……

“1000-7，40-25，266-155……”布尔法特像喊号子般一边大声提问一边挥舞手中的刀鞘攻击奥西。

"993, 15, ouch!"

"Louder! Don't stop! You're trying to be domineering even though you're so quiet!"

"Yes! 111..."

Through his intensive training of multitasking, mentally calculating math problems while dodging attacks, Ossi's observation Haki rapidly improved...

And on the other side——

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Ouba's head dodged left and right, but each time he would accurately catch Jhin's scabbard.

"Don't rely on listening, don't rely on guessing, rely on your own feelings!" Jin's hands were not slow at all, and he taught while knocking.

"I know! But relying on feelings and such, I really don't know how to do metaphysical things..."

For Oubei, who is used to relying on rational thinking, the so-called feeling is really too broad and vague.

Jin raised the scabbard again, and the sound of the wooden scabbard cutting through the air was clearly audible in Ober's ears.

[Left? No, this sound is from the right. The angle of impact should be...]

"Bang~" Another muffled sound interrupted Ou Bei's thoughts.

"You just think too much." Jin pointed out Oubre's problem in one sentence.

There's no way around it. Oubey's excellent physical functions allow him to deal with most dangerous situations simply by relying on his untrained five senses and quick thinking.

This is a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but when the Observation Haki awakens, the overly excellent senses will become a cage that binds oneself.

She was trapped in her own talent.

Ou Bei was also trying to use the energy observation method that La had taught her before, but somehow, every time she heard the sound of the scabbard swinging, she would involuntarily interrupt her perception of the energy and analyze the trajectory of the scabbard's movement in her mind, and then her body would react immediately.

This is when her vision is sealed. If there are no restrictions, she will definitely calculate the opponent's attack path accurately like a precision machine.

But this obviously has nothing to do with the Observation Haki, which is a way to directly sense the opponent's breath and make predictions. After all, I have never heard of any robot using Observation Haki.

Moreover, compared to the almost intuitive reaction speed of Observation Haki, on-site calculations require significantly longer time and are easily interfered with by other factors, which is fatal in battle.

[Sure enough, that empty-headed idiot is better at this kind of thing.]

Oubei sighed inwardly and actually began to envy Osi.

Chapter 25 Genius and Monster (Part 2)

"state!"

"hiss--"

While Ouba's head kept refreshing the "Merit +1", La, the eldest sister, quietly closed her eyes, as if she had entered a state of meditation.

[As expected, observing the world from an energy perspective is much clearer and more thorough than simply using the five senses.]

Sitting quietly, La has unknowingly covered the entire small island with her perception. She is trying to observe the world from the perspective of energy.

In La's current 'vision', the energy emitted by all living and non-living things is like colored lights of different colors; the size, shape, outline, and intensity are all clearly visible.

"The one with the highest strength... Hmm, it's Captain Kaido after all. But he's a little different from the others. This color... He seems to have a different kind of energy within him than the others. Could it be that domineering Haki that Burfat mentioned?"

[You can ask when you have time.]

She naturally tilted her head while thinking, and then Jhin's scabbard fell down a little slowly, as if Jhin had deliberately hit the air.

"?!"

Jhin was a little surprised by La's action, which was obviously one step faster than her. Theoretically, even if she could dodge it, she should have done so after Jhin made an attacking move.

[This blonde brat dodged before I could even make a move! Did she know I was going to attack her?]

In order to verify his guess, Jin tried to attack unexpectedly several times, but sure enough, every time he did it, he managed to dodge before he could act.

Then Jhin tried another feint, pretending to attack, but the scabbard stopped above her head at the last moment.

And this time, La didn't dodge at all from beginning to end!

You have to know that this time, King suddenly decided to stop just before he fell. Anyone who can use Observation Haki would not be able to react at this distance.

[He really can predict the future. This kid is only about ten years old! What a monster!]

La's performance was about to puncture Jin's common sense, making him wonder if the other party had some racial talent to predict the future.

Mr. Kaido said before that the one with golden hair was the most special of the three. I thought it would be difficult to teach her. Now it seems that what he said was true.

While Jin was still immersed in the trance of having his common sense pulled away, La had already regained consciousness from the perception of the entire island and then removed the black cloth covering his eyes.

"Mr. Jin, I think I have mastered the basics of Observation Haki. Can you show me Armament Haki?"

That's right, just now, La only used a small part of his attention that was focused on Jhin to predict Jhin's movements.

"Just call me Jhin."

Jhin was brought back to reality by La's ethereal voice, but he seemed a little uncomfortable with La's polite address.

After realizing that the other party's observation Haki was superior to his own, Jin didn't say much.

He just asked Ober to go to Burfat to continue training with Osi, while he himself displayed his armed color domineering in front of Ra.

The familiar energy clung to Jin's arm and wrapped around the scabbard.

"This is Armament Haki, which can greatly increase the user's attack and defense power. It can also be attached to weapons like this." Jin introduced.

And in La's perception, a black energy just burst out from Jin's body, and then gathered on his arms and scabbard.

She reached out to touch the scabbard, and the dark energy became clearer as her fingers touched it.

[It's a strange power. These Armament Haki seem to have the ability to block external energy.]

This reminded her of her previous battle with Kaido. At the beginning, her flames could easily melt the opponent's mace.

But after Kaido used the Armament Haki to wrap it, the high temperature could no longer have an effect on it.

La wrapped up these energies with his own divine power, and then tried to separate a little bit of Armament Haki.

She carried out this process very slowly. The Armament Haki on the scabbard was wrapped very tightly, and it required very precise energy control to peel it off.

It's like trying to tear a flyer off a door with a pair of greased rubber gloves.

……

[Hmm...it worked.]

It was about ten minutes later that La finally withdrew his hand.

At the same time, Jin noticed that the armament color attached to his scabbard suddenly disappeared a little. It was not consumed but it really disappeared.

He looked at La in surprise and found that she was looking at the palm of her hand as if there was something there.

[Is it a fusion of life energy and a strange energy...]

The trace of domineering aura wrapped in divine power gradually disintegrated in La's palm, and its essence was clearly revealed in front of La.

[But I don't seem to have this special energy in my body. Is it because of my race? Or is this energy unique to people in this world?]

When it comes to this kind of energy with characteristics of another world, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous "chakra".

Things have hit a bit of a bottleneck, but it's not a problem for La at the moment.

[Let's try to see if I can imitate it with my divine power first.]

The body moves according to the mind. As La thought this, he immediately began to adjust the nature of his divine power to move closer to that strange energy.

It has to be said that the energy from the gods is extremely plastic and can simulate the properties of almost any other energy as one wishes.

This phantom power, which can be called the "Ditto in the energy world", is actually a distortion of reality and a modification of the rules.

However, due to the influence of the divine nature, this energy with infinite possibilities often manifests itself in a single form in the outside world.

However, this singleness allows the divine power, when materialized as authority, to reach an energy level far higher than that of ordinary divine power.

To put it simply, the divine nature is like an amplifying converter, which converts the divine power into the most suitable form when it is released.
