One Piece:The Fruit of Evolution

Impel Down's sixth floor, Eternal Hell.

Ron was under increasing pressure, feeling it intensify by the moment.

In Eternal Hell, There are few prisoners., but three of them have awakened Conqueror's Haki.

Three powerful waves of Conqueror's Haki crashed toward him, accompanied by the presence of other strong men.

Ron felt as though the air had thickened, trapping him, making even the thought of struggle seem futile.

These powerful auras weighed on him like a mountain, forcing him to surrender and kneel.

This sensation was even more terrifying than what he'd experienced in the marshal's office.

As everyone knows,In Marine, only Garp has Conqueror's Haki, and he didn't use it even once when he met him.

To awaken Conqueror's Haki, besides having the aptitude of a king, the most critical element is willpower.

The Marine is an institution under the World Government, governed by strict rules and order.

In such an environment, obedience is ingrained, and there's no will to challenge authority or break free from constraints.

Even with the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki, one cannot awaken it in these conditions.

So, for Ron, this was his first real encounter with Conqueror's Haki.

And now, he was facing not one, but three users.

Exciting!

"A bunch of losers imprisoned here dare to make such a grand display instead of shrinking in fear," Ron sneered, facing the oppression of these powerful men.

No one has ever overwhelmed him in terms of momentum.

He slowly drew the Crimson Cry from his waist and slashed forward with one stroke.

In an instant, the formation was shattered by his single sword strike.

He destroyed the Conqueror Haki surrounding him.

As long as he believed he could become the strongest in the world, any pressure was meaningless.

Trying to break the will of someone who knows no defeat?

What a joke.

Mental strength is not something that can be suppressed by mere Conqueror's Haki.

"Fear!"

The pressure in the air shattered as his sword cut through.

After a brief silence, the same thought crossed all the prisoners' minds.

He had been oppressed by the aura of so many powerful men, yet instead of retreating, he had sliced through it.

This kind of absolute will shocked them to their cores.

For a mere Vice Admiral to have such strength in terms of momentum was astounding.

"He's the next Garp!"

A low voice echoed from a distant prison cell, where a thin old man, filled with memories, spoke softly.

The last time he'd seen such a terrifying newcomer was ten years ago.

He had been captured by someone whose mere presence made his heart race.

After ten years of darkness, he couldn't even muster the will to hate.

In this sea, strength commands respect.

And if power dictates authority, that person was the truth.

When the gap in strength is so vast, even hatred feels like a luxury.

"From now on, everything here will follow my rules!"

Ron's cold voice reverberated throughout the sixth floor.

Eternal Hell fell silent, the silence signifying their acceptance.

No matter where you are, only strength earns respect.

However, it would be no easy task to make these infamous prisoners bow their heads.

Satisfied with his dominance, Ron left Eternal Hell.

The chief warden, responsible for guarding this floor, looked at Ron's back in awe.

The prisoners in the sixth floor of Eternal Hell were notorious, arrogant individuals.

Even the previous director had failed to suppress them.

He had left in frustration many times.

But this newly appointed director had crushed their arrogance in just one meeting.

Such strength was beyond comprehension.

At the very least, ordinary Admiral-level powerhouses couldn't achieve such a feat.

There were at least three Admiral-level powerhouses imprisoned on the sixth floor, and subduing them was no small task.

Even if Sengoku Admiral himself had come, it would have been in vain.

Only if Vice Admiral Garp had come could they be subdued.

If Ron knew what the warden was thinking, he'd die laughing.

He certainly didn't possess Admiral-level combat power.

Even the quasi-Admiral level was a stretch.

His current strength was comparable to the veteran Vice Admirals of Naval Headquarters at best.

While his combat strength was at the top among Vice Admirals, there was still a gap between him and Admirals.

In a real fight, he could block an Admiral-level powerhouse.

But as for drawing or winning, his chances were slim to none.

The best he could do was be invincible through his impressive defense and Haki.

Though he couldn't kill an Admiral, it wouldn't be easy for an Admiral to kill him either.

At the very least, they'd lose a few teeth.

Returning to the fifth floor of Freezing Hell, Ron resumed his daily training.

His primary goal was to continuously expose himself to the cold, toughening his skin through external stimuli.

Eventually, he would reach a state of evolution.

"Going to the sixth floor wasn't without its rewards," Ron muttered, his eyes shifting slightly.

An aura of oppression surged from him, like a tangible force.

It spread like a dark red tide, rushing across the floor.

Wherever it passed, ice crystals shattered, and even the stubborn ice thorns bent under the pressure.

His aura was that of a king, looking down on all life.

Conqueror's Haki!

Under the powerful oppression on the sixth floor, Ron's Conqueror's Haki had been fully awakened.

But the chaos at the time, with so many powerful auras colliding, had concealed his awakening.

"Conqueror's Haki may have a famous name, but it's not as practical as Observation Haki or Armament Haki."

That's not to say Conqueror's Haki is useless.

After all, only one in a million can awaken the King's Qualification, so it's certainly valuable.

However, in its early stages, Conqueror's Haki is mostly useful for dealing with weaklings.

Its primary function is clearing out low-level soldiers.

Only when it reaches the highest level does it show its true power.

For example, it can merge with Armament Haki to boost its strength or even destroy objects with pure momentum, creating a ruler's territory.

Top-tier Conqueror's Haki rivals even the best Armament Haki.

With just Haki alone, one could rival an Admiral-level powerhouse.

But advancing Conqueror's Haki is the hardest part.

It cannot be improved through conventional training; only personal experience, age, and will can enhance it.

Whether someone can master Conqueror's Haki depends on their courage.

Without a strong enough spirit, controlling this power is impossible.

Though his Conqueror's Haki had just awakened, it was already quite formidable.

At the very least, it could intimidate Commander level Marines and pirates with bounties under ten million.

But cultivating it to the highest level would take decades.

In a few decades, he'd be the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government multiple times over.

What a waste of time!

"If I want to quickly improve my Haki, I'll rely on my Evolution Fruit ability."

The Evolution Fruit allowed everything to evolve.

It could reduce Haki training time by tenfold or even a hundredfold.

During his training, he had saved up an opportunity to use the Evolution Fruit.

But instead of evolving Conqueror's Haki, he preferred to evolve Observation Haki first.

If Observation Haki reached the level of future sight, he would be nearly invincible.

The stronger the Observation Haki, the sharper his perception in battle.

Even the slightest advantage could save his life.

Therefore, evolving Observation Haki offered the best return on investment.

With that in mind, Ron used the Evolution Fruit to enhance his Observation Haki.

As for Conqueror's Haki, he'd leave that for later—it would come in time.

There was no rush.

I hope your like the chapter 😊.
