Chapter 9: 9. Awakening! Observation Haki
Having made up his mind, Philok decided to use his own speed to fight Atlas!
brush! brush! brush!
Philok continued to attack Atlas, and soon left a series of wounds on Atlas' body, but soon there were only some white marks left. Judging from Atlas's current physique, his speed is still slightly inferior to that of Philok in human-animal form.
"Jie hahahaha, Marine kid, you know you're scared, right?"
Philok tried to scare Atlas away with words.
Atlas didn't retort when he heard the words, but just carefully felt the experience of using perception to fight just now, and his understanding of Observation haki also improved.
'I don't know much about Haki. I only know that Haki is a derivative of spiritual will. Armament Haki requires the body to reach an inhuman level before it can awaken from the body.
Compared with the armament haki, the awakening of the observation haki requires more talent and has no hard requirements on the body.'
At present, it seems that Atlas has this talent.
Conqueror's is even more mysterious. It is said that only one person in a million has the talent of Conqueror's, which is even rarer than the other two types of Haki.
Atlas felt that he was about to awaken, and he was almost there.
And currently, Philok is his best sparring partner. Originally, Atlas had no chance to awaken Haki in East Blue.
After all, it was a bit difficult to find a pirate who could pose a threat to him.
Now Philok's strength after getting this fruit is probably at the level of 30 million to 40 million berries bounty.
Although the overall strength is weaker than him, due to the characteristics of the fruit, the speed is stronger than Atlas.
Thinking of this, Atlas looked at Philok eagerly. He didn't expect that he would get such a reward by avenging his predecessor. Sure enough, good people are rewarded!
Philok was startled by Atlas's eyes, and immediately shook his head, throwing away the discomfort.
Then he grinned and bared his teeth and claws to attack Atlas, but Atlas still used perception to deal with it...
Yes!
That's what it feels like!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Atlas felt a little excited.
Suddenly, a red light flashed in Atlas's eyes...
Then his perception of the world was broken, ushering in the dawn from darkness, and Philok's attacks appeared in Atlas's mind as if they were in slow motion.
Observation Haki! Awakened!
Atlas grinned: "Hahahahaha! I won't play with you anymore!"
"Hmph! Arrogant brat"
Philok didn't care, thinking that Atlas was a little insane after being beaten by him, although he just didn't know why he felt like he was seen through...
Philok responded with a huge fist, which hit Philok hard on the face.
how?!
Philok was shocked, how could Atlas suddenly move so fast!
"As expected! Fighting with fists is a man's romance!"
Atlas was not prepared to explain anything. He threw aside the Marine standard fixed sword in his hand and pressed his casserole-sized fist covered with fist cocoons. The scarlet color in his eyes flashed away, and his sense of knowledge was fully activated!!
He easily dodged Philok's claws, and then opened his blow from left to right, blowing Philok's head directly. The red and white brains shot out, but Atlas relied on his haki to avoid it perfectly, without an trace on his clothes.
Philok didn't understand until his death how Atlas, who had been fighting back and forth with him a second ago, suddenly showed such a crushing attitude towards him...
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Atlas's physique is already superior to Philok's, but his speed is slightly inferior. Before, he just suppressed his strength slightly to play with him in order to awaken his knowledge.
After taking care of Philok, Atlas was ready to see if anyone was lucky enough to survive.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred.
A burly black shadow rushed out of the cabin at high speed, then jumped up high and landed firmly on the boat that Atlas was rowing over. His hands paddled the oars as fast as if they were equipped with engines...
Atlas was almost shocked when he saw this scene. The black figure just now was Jim, the vice-captain of the Philok Pirates!!
This guy was pretending to be dead from the beginning, and when he saw Philok was instantly killed, he couldn't wait to escape.
Although he usually seems simple-minded, he is not mentally retarded. Until his death, Philok would never have thought that Jim, whom he usually looked down on, had such a scheming mind.
Naturally, Atlas would not let Jim escape like this. If there was no error in the memory of his predecessor, the Canos couple would have been killed by this guy!
Atlas thought about it and entered the cockpit to chase Jim, who had already escaped for some distance, but the embarrassing thing was... he couldn't drive a sailboat!
In desperation, Atlas didn't care about anything and plunged directly into the sea, wanting to swim over to chase him. Anyway, he still had plenty of physical strength now...
'... Damn you kid!'
Jim looked at Atlas who was still chasing after him and began to curse countless times. God knows how Atlas still has such abundant physical energy! Jim now wishes that a Sea King would swallow Atlas and turn it into feces and excrete it!
Finally, half a day passed, and the distance between Atlas and Jim was getting closer and closer, so Jim collapsed in the constant pursuit! Trying to survive by begging for mercy!
But how could Atlas believe him? He jumped out of the water and wanted to kill him with one punch!
Jim was unwilling to accept this and raised the oar in his hand to try to block Atlas' iron fist.
But to no avail!!
The huge fist punched hard through the oar, and the oar instantly turned into a sky full of sawdust.
Jim also fell to the ground with a bang. Atlas stood firmly on the bow of the boat and kicked Jim's dead body off the boat to feed the fish.
... "GuluGulu"
As the sun sets, the calm sea surface is covered with a layer of bright red sunlight, and a small boat floats aimlessly.
Lying on the boat was a young man wearing a slightly damaged Marine uniform. His well-developed muscles showed off his sharpness without any scruples, and his delicate yet tough face was full of helplessness. It was Atlas who had just chased the pirates.
Atlas didn't expect to be so unlucky, because the oar was shattered by him in the battle just now.
So now he could only drift with the tide, and he didn't carry any extra supplies on the ship, so he naturally started to starve.
But, most seriously.
He is lost now!
I didn't think much of it when I was chasing him, but I didn't know he would swim directly into an unfamiliar sea area.
The sea and land are different without reference objects. No matter how strong the sense of direction is, it will not help!!
