Chapter 51: Crush Hawkeye, The Most Advanced Observation Haki (First Update)
Ye Chen?
After hearing Ye Chen's reply, Eagle Eye silently recalled it in his heart.
no impression.
At least before today, he had never heard this name from anyone.
Could it be that Ye Chen had never made a move before today, and had just been lurking in East Blue to exercise silently?
Wandering on the sea all year round, Eagle Eye has also seen many strong men with weird personalities, and some of them like to stay in a certain area.
But this was the first time he saw someone like Ye Chen who not only didn't move, but also didn't even make a name for himself.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much."
Recalling the soaring sword energy he felt in the distant sea not long ago, Eagle Eye temporarily discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind, drew out the black sword and pointed it forward.
"Come and fight me! Ye Chen!"
"If you are able to produce that kind of terrifying sword energy, you must be qualified to fight me!"
"Am I qualified to fight you?"
Ye Chen shook his head slightly: "You are a little too arrogant to say such things without even seeing my true strength, Eagle Eye."
"Whether he is arrogant or not, you will know after a fight."
"Okay, then I'll play with you."
[Check-in mission (Dracule Mihawk): Obtain Hawkeye's recognition in the swordsmanship competition. 】
After ignoring Hawkeye's check-in task, Ye Chen took out the Zanpakutō from his waist and stretched out a finger to hook him.
"Call me here, I won't have to find excuses after you lose.
Facing Ye Chen's provocation, Eagle Eye did not reply.
He found that the moment Ye Chen drew his sword, the relaxed atmosphere surrounding him disappeared.
Instead, there was a terrifying momentum as deep as the abyss and the sea.
It was a terrifying aura that Hawkeye had never encountered before, neither the so-called Four Emperors nor the Marine Admiral could match it.
Just by confronting him, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, and even his breathing became rapid.
Ye Chen didn't brag before.
He is the truly arrogant person.
"This sea is really vast."
After sighing in a low voice, Hawkeye completely activated Armament Haki and Observation Haki, bringing his state to its peak.
The next second, he raised the black knife in his hand high and swung it towards Ye Chen without hesitation.
boom--!
25 Hearing the roar, a sharp sword energy more than ten meters high swept out.
The huge ancient tree broke in response, and a deep crack appeared on the ground.
After clearing all the obstacles along the way, the sword energy came in front of Ye Chen and Ye Chen in the next second.
but...
Facing this terrifying blow, let alone Ye Chen.
Even Nami, who was standing next to her, showed no fear.
After seeing the video of the battle between Ye Chen and Yamamoto, Nami's vision has reached a new level.
She was certain that Hawkeye's blow could not hurt Ye Chen at all.
In fact, it was exactly as she expected.
Ye Chen, who was standing on the spot, didn't make the slightest move. He just raised the sword and swung it casually, and the terrifying sword energy that fell in front of him was instantly shattered.
"Is this all you can do?"
Lifting his feet and taking a step forward, Ye Chen's figure appeared in front of Hawkeye in an instant, and he slashed with his knife.
"It would be too boring if it was just this level."
"So fast!"
Although Ye Chen's movements were very casual, in the eyes of the eagle eye it was still close to the Ultimate.
Caught off guard, he had no choice but to follow his body's instinct and reluctantly put up a posture to meet Ye Chen's slashing attack.
boom--!
The terrifying force fell, and Hawkeye's body was directly knocked out by the blow, knocking down dozens of trees before slowly stopping.
"Hey, can you do it?"
Ye Chen's figure appeared in front of him again, holding the back of the knife and tapping Eagle Eye's head.
"Isn't he the world's greatest swordsman? He said such harsh words before the battle, he couldn't have fallen down without being able to hold back my blows.
.....I apologize for my previous words. "
Hawkeye took a deep breath and stood up reluctantly, holding on to the tree.
"It's true that I was looking at the sky from a well. I didn't expect that there would be someone as strong as you in the East Blue, which is known as the weakest sea.
"There are many things you didn't expect."
Ye Chen raised Zanpakutō and controlled the Reiatsu to gather on the blade, and the aura on his body climbed to its peak in an instant.
"Watch carefully, this is how the sword is used!"
Crescent moon clashes in the sky!
boom--!
The huge crescent-shaped sword energy swept out, shattering all the ground in front of Ye Chen.
Then, this crescent-shaped sword energy continued to rush forward unabated, directly cutting the sea area hundreds of kilometers ahead into two parts.
"How can it be?!"
Watching the sword energy flying past him, chopping up the earth and ocean until the end of his sight, Hawkeye was finally shocked.
Ye Chen's previous strength and speed can also be explained by his special physique and strong physical fitness.
But he couldn't understand this terrifying sword energy at all.
"Are you...really human?"
[Successful check-in will reward Hawkeye’s Observation Haki, Hawkeye’s Armament Haki, and Hawkeye’s Swordsmanship. 】
"Human? Of course not."
Ye Chen shook his head slightly: "I am Shinigami."
"Shinigami?"
A flash of confusion flashed in Hawkeye's eyes.
A body so powerful that it is beyond comprehension, an attack that cracks the earth and shreds the ocean at will.
With such extraordinary power, could it be said that the other party is really a legendary god?
Eagle Eye opened his mouth, wanting to ask something more.
But before that, a cold light flashed through the air first appeared in his eyes.
Tsk~!
[Complete the group task "The World's Greatest Swordsman" and will be rewarded with 10,000 group points. 】
"Don't be afraid. You are different from those ordinary trash fish. You have a certain value."
After instilling a certain amount of the power of original sin into Hawkeye's body, Ye Chen shot another wave of rejection towards him to heal his injuries, and then turned around and left.
"Just stand here and guard the door tonight."
"There will be some guests coming tomorrow. I will deal with them all before I issue a mission to you."
Hawkeye: "???"
So what exactly is going on.
Hawkeye, who originally thought he was going to fall into trouble here, is now at a loss and cannot understand the situation at all.
The only thing Eagle Eye knew was what Ye Chen had done to his body, making him completely unable to control it.
Looking at Ye Chen not far away, they chatted passionately with Nami for a few words and then walked towards each other towards the distance.
Hawkeye, who couldn't control his body at all and could only stand in the woods blowing the cold wind, couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come all the way to find Ye Chen to kill him.
At the same time, the brief battle between Ye Chen and Hawkeye came to an end.
On a sea area dozens of kilometers away from Cocoyasi Village, several large warships stopped.
Standing at the front of one of the battleships, Garp squinted his eyes and looked at the distant sea, his face full of thinking.
"Lord Garp."
A call came out, and Smoker walked over from a short distance with a cigarette in his mouth.
"That voice that sounded in the distance just now, do you have any clue now?"
Garp did not immediately respond.
After looking into the distance quietly for a while, he suddenly spoke.
"Smoker, I have a task for you next."
"Um?"
"You take the others and return to Logue town immediately."
"As for going to Cocoa West Village to capture the murderer, just leave it to me."
"Wait... wait a minute!"
Before Smoker could speak, Tashigi, who was tall and slim with a knife in his hand, suddenly spoke.
"Lord Garp! What do you mean?"
"Do you think that huge roar just now was caused by humans?"
"Yeah, it's man-made."
Garp replied: "If I feel correctly, it should be someone's sword energy. y
"Sword Qi?!"
Smoker was also shocked at this time: "Really or not? I thought it was some kind of secretly powerful weapon!"
"Maybe, I have to go and see it anyway."
Garp looked to the southwest.
That side is the mission he received from Sengoku not long ago, the location of Cocoa West Village.
Similarly, that is also the direction from which the sword energy just came.
The accidents one after another seem to point to the same location, but Garp doesn't think it's a coincidence.
"If my guess is correct, the opponent is probably a Four Emperors-level person who has eaten a fruit that can increase the power of sword energy."
"This power is too dangerous. The human sea tactic is meaningless in front of the opponent. Instead, it will lead to the meaningless sacrifice of the weak in the aftermath of the battle.
"Rather than leading an army to chase the opponent, it would be better for me and Kizaru, who is about to arrive, to work together to encircle and suppress them."
"Assemble high-end combat power and use the minimum number of people to limit the performance of its capabilities."
Smoker nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Garp's analysis made sense.
"But since we are gathering high-end combat power, I think I can help."
.......Smoker, confidence is a good thing, but if you are too confident, you are crazy. "
"Mr. Garp, where are you going?"
Smoker's expression was a little helpless.
He still has a strong grasp of his own strength.
Whether it is Kizaru or Garp, there is an absolute gap in strength between them.
If they really fight, he won't be able to block a single move.
but.......
"Although I can't join the frontal battlefield, it's okay for me to do some things that you don't have time to do.
Smoker reminded: "If the intelligence records are correct, there are many ordinary civilians living in Cocoa West Village."
"If Mr. Garp and you fight, the aftermath of the battle will definitely spread there.
"When the time comes, it will be up to me to go there, protect the ordinary residents and complete the retreat.
"Please take one for me too!"
Tashigi echoed: "I will try my best to help and evacuate the people as soon as possible!"
"Evacuate ordinary residents? This is indeed my negligence."
Garp thought for a moment and made a decision: "Then bring a battleship over.
"When the time comes to evacuate the people, they can get on the boat and evacuate directly, away from the battlefield.
"yes!"
A few hours later, Nami was in the room.
After the brief period of pure love ended, Ye Chen no longer took Nami for morning exercises, but studied Haki by himself who had just checked in to win the Eagle Eye.
As one of the special powers in the pirate world, there are three types of Haki.
They are Armament Haki, Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
Among them, Conqueror's Haki is determined by nature, and only some have talents.
Only people can have it.
Armament Haki and Observation Haki are different. Anyone can practice it as long as they master the correct practice method.
For example, Ye Chen's hawk eye has cultivated these two types of Haki to an extremely high level.
but.....…
"Hawkeye's Observation Haki can read minds and sense emotions?"
After listening to the voices and emotions coming from the surroundings after unfolding Observation Haki in his ears, Ye Chen became a little confused.
Looking at Hawkeye's performance in the original work, the opponent's Observation Haki seems to be an ordinary observation color.
But now that he has deployed Observation Haki, he does have the ability to read minds and sense emotions.
Ye Chen recalled the original work of One Piece.
In his impression, the highest level Observation Haki exists in the world of pirates.
The highest level Observation Haki is a Haki that requires the same talents as Conqueror's Haki, and can only be possessed naturally.
People with this talent can feel the thoughts and emotions of their targets, and convey their thoughts to others to resonate, and even change their values and ideologies.
Among the characters who appear in the original work, only Princess Otohime of The Fish Men Island has shown this highest-level Observation Haki, which is even rarer than the owners of Conqueror's Haki.
"Could it be that I am one of the few people with the highest level of Observation Haki talent?"
Ye Chen glanced at the Zanpakutō at his waist thoughtfully.
Due to the ability of the Seven Original Sins, he can freely control and process the power of original sin, and is inherently sensitive to negative emotions.
You can even use this as a medium to indirectly hear some of other people's voices and gain an advantage in battle.
It's more complicated to say, but to put it simply, this is a special application of original sin plus spiritual power.
According to his analysis of the two-color Haki just now, Observation Haki is also a way of applying spiritual power.
Perhaps it is the similarity between these two points that allowed him to combine the newly awakened Observation Haki with the mind-reading and emotional perception abilities derived from the Seven Deadly Sins, and then possess the ultimate power.
Advanced Observation Haki.
"This is an unexpected surprise."
A slight smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.
His original mind-reading ability was said to be mind-reading, but it was actually a small skill he had figured out by himself.
The higher the negative emotions in the target's mind, the better the mind-reading effect.
If you are a good old guy with an optimistic personality, his mind-reading effect will be very poor or even malfunctioning.
But after integrating with Observation Haki, this problem will not occur.
No matter whether the other person has negative emotions in his heart or not, he can read minds as long as there is mental power.
If the negative emotions are sufficient, the mind-reading effect can be further improved and evolved into thinking resonance.
At that time, he will not only be able to change the target's thoughts, affect his values and world view, but even be able to carve a stamp on his thinking.
By then, his Seven Deadly Sins puppet will not only be controlled by his body.
Even his own consciousness will be affected, and he will become his puppet in a true sense, serving his past.
"Now you don't have to worry about some black technology suddenly popping up in the pirate world and releasing my control."
Just like Urahara Kisuke and others in the Shinigami world, Vegapunk and others in the Pirate world have too many black technologies.
Ye Chen is confident in his own abilities, but in the final analysis, his abilities are based on the fusion of negative emotions and indirectly control the target.
If after he leaves, some black technology emerges in the pirate world, it can temporarily clear the negative emotions in the heart.
Then the top leaders of the pirate world controlled by him will return to their original state again.
At that time, not only will it be run again, but it will not be 100% guaranteed that there will be no problems, which will be very troublesome.
But it's different now.
As long as he can imprint the mental seal of absolute loyalty on the controlled target, he will not be afraid of betrayal even if the body is released from control.
The arrival of this ability ensures Ye Chen's absolute control over the top management of the pirate world.
"It's time to act."
Walking out of the room, Ye Chen looked at the sea in the distance and the Marine warships slowly approaching on the sea.
"Garp, Kizaru and Smoker, you're lucky."
"Huh? Observation Haki?"
At the same time that Ye Chen launched Observation Haki, Garp, who was standing at the head of the warship, keenly noticed a line of sight watching.
He frowned slightly, and just when he was about to launch Observation Haki to find the opponent's location, he suddenly froze.
"Oh yeah~ What's going on?"
Not far away, Kizaru, who had just met not long ago, came over and looked at the shore of the island with Garp in surprise.
There, a familiar figure of two people stood quietly.
Astonishingly, he is the greatest swordsman in the world, Inracol Mihawk!.
