NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: "As the Static Is Not Enough, Let’s Turn the Static Into Dynamic"
"Open your eyes."
Immediately, an invisible wave swept through the area.
Like the airflow raised by a blade, it cut through everything.
Yet, it was strangely silent.
Quietly, the wild wolf rolled its eyes, collapsed with a thud, and fell to the ground.
Bang, bang, bang!
One after another, the wolves two hundred meters away also fell.
All the crocodiles in the pond showed fear in their eyes, then rolled their eyes and flipped their bellies.
Two "plops" were heard.
Caesar and Brad followed suit and collapsed to the ground.
When he woke up the next day, Caesar stayed silent for a long while.
He was absolutely certain.
This was the Conqueror's Haki!
He had already awakened the Observation Haki before.
The mastery of the three Haki types had awakened his Observation Haki.
This was especially dominant and imposing.
It was an aura of supremacy that surpassed millions.
And it couldn't be gained through acquired practice.
It could only be possessed innately.
Caesar slowly lifted the corner of his mouth.
Even if his dominant Haki is under control now,
It couldn't be the same as yesterday.
Even he and Brad had been left awestruck by his overwhelming dominance.
Years passed.
The coconut trees by the island's shore still gently leaned toward the sea.
But in the forest, the sounds of a teenager training never stopped.
This year, Caesar turned 12.
He had grown from a thin child into a teenager—and a strong one at that.
Deeper in the forest:
Boom!
Suddenly, the birds in the forest chirped and flew away.
In response, a massive tree fell.
Caesar quickly withdrew the leg that broke the tree,
Stepped back, and dodged the falling trunk.
When he wasn't looking, the fallen tree moved a few inches forward.
Brad skillfully dodged the fallen tree,
Grabbing the vines and kicking off hard,
Swinging toward another tree.
"Caesar, come on!"
He raised his eyebrows challengingly, full of excitement.
Caesar was annoyed.
He estimated the distance between them in a straight line.
In the next second,
He suddenly opened his eyes.
An invisible current of air rushed toward Brad.
Brad instinctively sensed danger.
His legs trembled, wanting to step back.
To run.
But his body froze in place.
Don't move.
His pupils shook violently, and sweat dripped from his forehead like rain.
Brad knew what was happening again.
Boom!
The massive branches beneath his feet slowly cracked.
His body followed close behind.
"Aaahhhh!"
Brad screamed as he fell to the ground.
He hit the ground with a thud.
Then quickly rolled away, dodging the falling tree branch.
"Excellent."
He squatted on the ground and looked at the crack in the thick branch.
He couldn't help but admire it, envy and awe in his eyes.
Caesar slightly lifted the corners of his lips.
"Admit defeat now."
His mastery, after years of deliberate control training,
Could now be released at will.
Within a certain range, it could also be focused on a designated target.
As a last move, he used Conqueror's Haki to spar with Brad.
Given Brad's current sensitivity, he couldn't evade it.
"I throw in the towel when you pull that move."
"You're too strong; your legs and physical strength are ridiculously overpowered."
"I'm a Devil Fruit user, and I still can't beat you in terms of physical strength or skill."
Speaking of this…
Caesar frowned, slightly troubled.
"My physical abilities have reached their limit."
Over the years, the growth and strengthening of his soul had bolstered his physical body.
In addition to daily training, his strength increased steadily.
The most evident manifestation was his refined control over his Haki.
Talent and potential continued to grow.
His memory had also developed significantly.
But what now?
Due to reaching a certain saturation point, his physical arts had plateaued.
"Eh?"
Brad scratched his head thoughtfully.
"No wonder you haven't been as active in physical training lately as before."
The two walked back side by side.
Caesar sighed, "That's right, pure exercise has made it hard to
"I've been thinking"
"As the static is not enough, let's turn the static into dynamic."
