One Piece - Heaven Defying Comprehension!

Boom!

Another terrifying wave of power erupted from Nami's body, roaring wildly through the atmosphere.

Around her neck, the lucky charm Ace had crafted for her—a symbol she never removed, even while sleeping—flashed frenetically.

Nami was within the 'Realm of Comprehension'. Stimulated by Hancock's powerful Conqueror's Haki, and with the aid of this mystical realm, Nami's latent potential as a king awakened in that moment!

"This... this is the same Conqueror's Haki as mine!" Hancock's beautiful eyes trembled, watching the black and purple lightning surging from Nami's body. The fierce energy of the two women seemed to compete for dominance in the air.

Although Nami's Conqueror's Haki had only just awakened and existed merely as raw momentum for now—lacking the violent black and purple lightning unique to fully formed Conqueror's Haki—it was undeniable that she had the qualifications to be a king!

Conqueror's Haki is the pinnacle of power on the seas, a gift granted to one in a million. Even in the New World, home to countless powerful figures, only a few possess this fearsome ability.

Anyone capable of awakening Conqueror's Haki, even if they fail to fully master it, will inevitably become a Grandmaster of Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Their abilities will surpass those of even senior Vice Admirals in the Navy who have honed both forms of Haki to perfection.

In other words, those who awaken Conqueror's Haki are destined to become candidates for the position of Admiral or commanders at the level of the Four Emperors' strongest subordinates.

Unlike Armament Haki, which can be learned through training, Conqueror's Haki is something innate—an unteachable, natural gift.

Among the few strong individuals capable of awakening Conqueror's Haki, even fewer are women.

To Hancock's knowledge, there were no other women in the seas who possessed this extraordinary ability, aside from herself and the fearsome BIG-MOM, the lone female among the Four Emperors.

Now, Nami would become the third woman in history to wield Conqueror's Haki in this era.

Moreover, Nami's strength surpassed even her own.

While Hancock's Mero Mero no Mi, coupled with her stunning beauty, allowed her powers to rival those of some Logia and mythical Zoan fruits, there remained a noticeable gap when compared to Nami's Goro Goro no Mi—the Logia Devil Fruit of thunder, one of the most invincible abilities in existence.

Before today, even though Hancock had mastered her Devil Fruit powers and awakened Conqueror's Haki with Ace's guidance, her strength was still shy of reaching the peak combat power required to contend with the Admirals of the Marine Headquarters. She was close, but not quite there.

But Nami, with her pure, awakened power of the Thunder Fruit, had already become one of the pinnacle combatants in this world.

Nami's Haki hadn't yet significantly enhanced her combat abilities, but the overwhelming power of her Thunder Fruit alone placed her at the top.

In fact, the difference in strength between her Haki and Devil Fruit abilities was so vast that it made it difficult for Nami to even infuse Armament Haki into her lightning attacks.

But now, everything has changed.

Nami had awakened the Conqueror's Haki.

As someone who also wielded Conqueror's Haki, Hancock knew this path all too well. Although Nami's awakening had occurred, she was still far from mastering the advanced technique of Conqueror's Haki entanglement.

Even Hancock had needed Ace's help to reach that stage.

But one thing was certain—after awakening Conqueror's Haki, Nami's Armament and Observation Haki would begin to grow rapidly in strength. This is a privilege granted to those with the qualifications of a king.

With the awakening of Conqueror's Haki, both Armament and Observation Haki experience a period of explosive growth. This is why individuals who awaken Conqueror's Haki are guaranteed to reach at least the level of Admiral candidates or the deputy commanders of the Four Emperors.

And with Nami's already formidable Thunder Fruit abilities, she can now solo Admiral Kizaru without losing.

Once Nami mastered Conqueror's Haki entanglement and fused it with the overwhelming power of the Thunder Fruit, she would stand among the Four Emperors—powerful enough to rule the seas like an emperor.

Moreover, Nami would be a Four Emperors-level fighter capable of wreaking destruction on a global scale. The power of her Thunder Fruit had the potential to be even more fearsome than Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi, the legendary Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Nami's ultimate combat power would depend on how far she could push her Haki.

Hancock's gaze softened as she looked at Nami, her heart filled with joy. Nami, like her, deeply loved Ace. They both carried his symbol and bore the Entei Pirates' flag tattoo on their bodies.

It was Nami's presence that had helped Hancock be accepted so smoothly by Nojiko and the others.

Now, they shared yet another bond—both possessing the rare Conqueror's Haki.

Hancock couldn't help but feel a bit of confusion. It was as if, in this vast sea, she had finally found someone who was like her—a true equal.

With the assistance of Rayleigh, Gloriosa, and Shakky, Hancock returned to Amazon Lily. Despite the company, a deep loneliness gnawed at her, as she struggled to conceal a secret.

Even in the presence of her two younger sisters, that loneliness persisted.

But now, things had changed. Not only had Hancock met the love of her life, Ace, but she had also encountered Nami, a companion who she can call a rival.

"Congratulations, Nami," Hancock said, her cold, beautiful eyes softening into warmth as she smiled at her, a smile as radiant as a blooming flower.

"Conqueror's Haki..." Nami murmured, gazing at her hands as the powerful surge of Conqueror Haki coursed through her. Her red lips trembled as she took it in.

"Feel it well; it's beautiful," Ace encouraged, waving his right hand forcefully. A dazzling light enveloped Nami completely.

In that moment, the full power of his field of comprehension filled the air. Ace's eyes sparkled with joy as he witnessed Nami's growth—her Conqueror's Haki had truly awakened.

In the original story, Nami's fury once caused Jinbei to mistake her outburst for the release of Conqueror's Haki. Now, stimulated by Hancock's rapidly developing Conqueror's Haki, Nami's own dormant abilities had finally come to life.

Hancock, having mastered the advanced form of Conqueror's Haki—Entanglement, and Nami, newly awakened to this rare ability—surprised even Ace.

Conqueror's Haki was an extremely rare gift. Among the Four Emperors, aside from the Emperors themselves, only a few were known to possess it—Katakuri from the Big Mom Pirates and Kaido's daughter, Yamato from the Beasts Pirates. Mastering Conqueror's Haki was rarer still, and beyond the Four Emperors, only Yamato was known to have done so, even at an initial level.

Hancock, with her mastery of Conqueror's Haki—Entanglement, combined with the power of her beauty, had become one of the most formidable forces on the seas. Her strength now surpassed even those at the Admiral level, like Black Arm Zephyr, and could rival the power of the Four Emperors in a direct confrontation—at least for a short time.

Such is the domineering power of Conqueror's Haki—Entanglement. Even a preliminary mastery grants a significant boost in combat strength.

Ace had originally devised a training regimen for Nami that focused on increasing her Armament Haki through the Realm of Comprehension, the healing fruits of Kaya, and the immense nutrients provided by the Sea Kings of the Calm Belt. This, he believed, would maximize her physical strength and improve her Armament Haki. Observation Haki, augmented by her mastery of Thunder Fruit, allowed Nami to "see" further into the future than most, making her one of the strongest users of Observation Haki in the sea.

However, the major area Nami needed to improve was her Armament Haki, and this process—though aided by the Realm of Comprehension—still required time, especially since building physical endurance doesn't happen overnight. Nami needed time to fully absorb the benefits and grow stronger.

But now, with her Conqueror's Haki awakened, the pace of her development had accelerated rapidly. Nami's mastery of Armament, Observation, and Conqueror's Haki would soon place her in a class of her own.

Once her Armament Haki reached Admiral-level strength, she would be able to combine it with the power of Thunder Fruit for devastating attacks. Her Observation Haki, already heightened by Thunder Fruit, would further enhance her abilities. 

At this rate, Nami's strength could soon rival Kizaru's. And with her newfound mastery of Conqueror's Haki, the rumors spreading through the sea could very well come true—that Nami would rise to become the second great female ruler of the seas, following in the footsteps of Big Mom!

Ace's eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Nami, and the smile on his lips was so wide that not even a warship could suppress it. Nami, his first crew member, had always been the woman closest to him. Her place in his heart was singularly special.

Seeing Nami awaken Conqueror's Haki filled Ace with a joy even greater than the thrill of victory over Naval Headquarters. However, what followed left Ace, who now stood at the peak of the sea era, utterly astounded.

Hancock, who had also mastered Conqueror's Haki and became one of the most formidable warriors on the seas, felt her pupils contract as she watched Nami's power unfold. Her face was filled with shock.

A sudden "Buzz!" resonated through the air.

With the assistance of the Comprehension Domain, Nami quickly gained control over the release and management of Conqueror's Haki. Typically, when Conqueror's Haki first awakens, even those with kingly potential cannot control its release. In such moments, an individual's momentum surges uncontrollably, attacking friend and foe alike. 

It usually requires extensive training to direct Conqueror's Haki precisely toward a target group. Even with a teacher's guidance, mastering this stage often takes a considerable amount of time. However, thanks to the Comprehension Domain, Nami breezed through this stage, swiftly mastering the focused release of her Conqueror's Haki.

But the next moment was even more startling!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" 

Black and purple lightning exploded around Nami, leaping wildly through the atmosphere. Almost instinctively, Nami extended her small fist, and the black-purple lightning that had been thrashing in the air obediently wrapped itself around it.

"Conqueror's Haki—Entanglement?!" Hancock exclaimed, staring in disbelief at the violent lightning that crackled around Nami's fist.

Although this black and purple lightning wasn't yet as powerful as Hancock's own Conqueror's Haki, there was no mistaking it—this was the pinnacle of strength in these seas: Conqueror's Haki—Entanglement!

The fact that Nami had just awakened Conqueror's Haki and could already use Entanglement was mind-blowing. Was she some kind of monster?

Hancock stared at her, her normally composed and beautiful face now blank with shock.

To master Conqueror's Haki—Entanglement is no small feat. It's the key to gaining one of the highest levels of combat power in these seas—the strength equivalent to an Admiral! Fully mastering it means the ability to go head-to-head with the Four Emperors, the rulers of the seas.

Even those like Katakuri, the de facto second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates, and Doflamingo, one of the strongest Shichibukai, hadn't mastered it right away. And Hancock herself, before this day, had struggled for years to fully master it, despite awakening Conqueror's Haki long ago.

And yet, Nami... with her heaven-defying comprehension, had mastered it so quickly.

Could this be the reason why, in the original story, Nami—despite lacking Haki at the time—could still get the better of even Luffy, Zoro, and the others in moments of conflict?

Even Ace had not instantly grasped the power of Conqueror's Haki when it first awakened. It wasn't until he had help from the Comprehension Domain, after witnessing Garp's Blue Hole, that he began to truly understand the power. 

Was Nami truly blessed with such extraordinary talent?

Nami's awakening to Conqueror's Haki—and her immediate mastery of Conqueror's Haki—Entanglement—left even Ace astonished. Hancock was at a loss for words.

Though the Comprehension Domain was a result of Ace's own exceptional understanding, combined with the power derived from Luffy's unique Nika-inspired imagination, it had drastically improved Nami's "emotional resonance" with her power.

Had Ace not aided Hancock, she wondered just how long it would have taken her to master Conqueror's Haki on her own.

"You really do possess an incredible understanding..." Hancock muttered, feeling almost embarrassed. "Maybe that's why I'm feeling so... unsettled."

Ace, meanwhile, observed Nami's excitement with a soft smile, the corners of his mouth turning up ever so slightly. 

Nami, upon awakening, had immediately grasped a power that ranked among the most elite in this sea.

"Amazing," Ace thought to himself, pride welling up inside him, marveling at the level Nami had just reached.
