NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2 Awakening Conqueror's Haki, The Born King
When he woke up again, Luffy didn't know how much time had passed.
But what surprised him was that he seemed to feel that his physical fitness had become stronger.
"Your understanding is heaven-defying, and you can learn exclusive skills while resting, and strengthen them to the extreme."
"Extreme strengthening: When your body function reaches its limit, after adequate rest, your physical fitness will achieve a breakthrough and be greatly improved."
"Your understanding is heaven-defying, you can comprehend your exclusive skills while eating, and you can digest it extremely quickly."
"Extremely fast digestion: When you eat to obtain nutrients, they can be quickly absorbed and digested and used to restore physical strength and strengthen your body."
The information suddenly displayed in his mind made Luffy understand immediately.
It turned out that he had reached the limit of his body after comprehending the Eight Inner Gates last time, and his current stronger physique was due to the new ability he had comprehended, limit strengthening.
As for the extremely fast digestion, he must have acquired this ability because he absorbed more nutrients from his mother through the umbilical cord after physical exertion.
People in the pirate world generally have a pervert physique. Their stomachs are in a ball and they can be digested quickly. If they have no physical strength, they can recover a lot by eating something.
And these two abilities of Luffy are just some enhancements to the abilities that his original physique already had.
After thinking about this, Luffy, who had just realized two new abilities, fell into a deep sleep again not long after.
At the same time, I gained a deeper understanding and gained new abilities.
...
A few months later.
"Father, I leave Luffy to you."
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely train him to become the best Marine."
"Just listen to grandpa, Luffy."
Not long after Luffy was born, his mother gave him to Garp.
Then she kissed him on the forehead, and for some unknown reason, left at sea.
Watching his mother, whom he had only met once, gradually move away and disappear over the sea, Luffy couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He knew too little about his mother.
I don't know how to keep him at all.
This irrevocable departure reminded him of the scene in the original book where Ace died in front of Luffy.
In a daze, Luffy's vision went dark, and his consciousness came to a certain scene in his memory.
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
"See clearly, Whitebeard."
On the execution platform, Sengoku gave an order, and the two executioners next to him raised their swords high and were about to chop at Ace's neck.
"stop!"
Luffy, who was blocked by countless Marines, roared angrily, but still couldn't break through the blockage.
Seeing the two big knives falling lower and lower, Luffy's eyes suddenly condensed and he roared with all his strength.
"Stop it!"
Suddenly, an unparalleled momentum swept around with Luffy as the center.
Countless Marine pirates on the entire battlefield suddenly stopped moving, rolled their eyes, and fainted.
...
The picture in his mind disappeared at the same time.
Garp, who was holding Luffy, suddenly trembled and subconsciously looked at the baby in his arms, his eyes trembling.
Then Luffy suddenly burst out with an unparalleled powerful aura.
A terrifying purple-black lightning, with Luffy as the center, set off a powerful air wave that swept away in all directions, covering the entire island.
All the residents on this island, and the vast majority of Marines, without exception, lost consciousness after looking at each other.
"This...this is..."
Garp looked at the sleeping baby in his arms in shock, and was excited and incoherent.
After a long time, Garp calmed down and said something slowly.
"Are you a born king, Luffy?!"
...
Time flew by.
Seven years later.
East Blue, Windmill Village, next to the woods behind the village.
Luffy rested his arms on his back, lying flat on the grass, crossing his legs and looking at the sky quietly.
It has been seven years since I came to this world.
For seven years, Garp has been unable to take care of him because of his status as Marine.
So Luffy grew up eating hundreds of meals in Windmill Village.
Among them, the one who cared about him the most was Makino, who ran the tavern in the village.
Because of his heaven-defying understanding, he quickly learned and mastered basic life skills under Makino's guidance.
After that, he began to practice independently.
So far, he has mastered the Eight Inner Gates to the point where he can open the Fifth Gate.
In Hokage Ninja, Xiao Li drove to the Fifth Gate in the Chūnin exam, broke through Gaara's invincible defense, and severely injured him.
Of course, in addition to Taijutsu, he is also practicing Haki.
When he was born, he spontaneously awakened the Conqueror's Haki.
Observation Haki and Armament Haki have frequent contact with Garp and a group of Marines from Naval Headquarters. It is not difficult to understand from them through heaven-defying comprehension.
However, the only ones he can improve are Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
Conqueror's Haki can only be strengthened as one grows and becomes more courageous.
Therefore, he only practiced his proficiency in controlling it to the point of perfection.
Now he can easily control Conqueror's Haki to only be used on a specific target.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
"I'm so hungry, it's almost time to go back."
Putting away the thoughts in his mind, Luffy touched his growling belly, then a carp erected, and planned to return to the village.
...
"Makino, I'm back."
When he walked to the door of the pub, Luffy suddenly heard laughter and noise coming from inside.
"Are there any guests?"
Luffy muttered and pushed the door open.
Suddenly, an extremely cheerful and lively scene came into view.
In the tavern, two men punched each other.
The surrounding area was filled with spectators holding glasses of wine and cheering for him.
Soon, Luffy saw a somewhat familiar man with red hair in the crowd.
Shanks! ! !
