Chapter 43
Then Crocus took out a letter that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Xia Chen.
“I still have to take care of Lab and I don’t have time to teach you, but you take this letter to the Sabaody Archipelago and find an old man named Rayleigh, who will teach you how to use Haki.”
“You must remember that people who don’t know Haki will never become strong.”
“Thank you, senior!”
Perhaps because the original version has not been updated, Haki is not mentioned here.
Now it is the real world, naturally there is no need to patch, it follows the most basic operating principles. As for Crocus saying that he has no time and needs to take care of Lab, it should be just an excuse.
It is likely that he wants them to experience the difference between having Haki and not having Haki.
Only in this way can Xia Chen and others make up their minds to learn Haki.
After all, learning Haki, in Crocus’s view, is destined to be a very long and boring process. For the new pirates who have just set foot on the Grand Line, it is the time to be full of longing and thinking about challenging this unknown sea.
It is difficult to let them settle down to train and learn.
Moreover, those who have never experienced setbacks cannot become the strongest.
After that, the ship set sail and after leaving 10 kilometers, it had officially walked out of the chaotic sea caused by the downhill current.
“Xia Chen, what is the domineering that the old man just mentioned?” Zoro was the most impatient.
At that time, he felt a very special power in Bogart, but he thought it was the ability of a swordsman at that time and did not think about it.
But yesterday, the old man just easily beat Xia Chen back with one move. Although it was only one move, for an opponent with a huge gap, this move could be recognized.
Of course, it was mainly because Xia Chen was the one who made the decision at that time.
Xia Chen was very rational and did not choose to let them continue to attack. Otherwise, even if they fought desperately, Zoro would not frown.
Xia Chen thought about it and decided not to hide it from his partners anymore.
But he still waited cautiously for the ship to travel a distance, and experienced a sudden storm. After confirming that Crocus had not caught up, he gathered people in the cabin.
“This is Haki!” Xia Chen said, and a faint black layer suddenly appeared on his right arm, like a layer of armor.
“So it’s this!” Luffy knocked his palm. His grandfather often beat him with this power, and the fist was really black and shiny.
And Zoro also confirmed that the energy he saw from Bokat at that time was this kind.
“When did you learn it?” Zoro was a little upset.
He thought that the ability Xia Chen showed before was strong enough, enough for him to catch up for a while, but he didn’t expect Xia Chen to hide it.
Xia Chen touched his chest and said, “This thing is not difficult. I got hit by it yesterday and I figured out its principle. So, everyone must learn it from now on. That old man is not simple. What he said must make sense.”
“Ah…what?”
“You learned it after getting hit by it yesterday.”
“It doesn’t sound difficult. Please teach me, mate.”
“Xia Chen, that old man you know?” Nami asked at last.
Xia Chen stood up slowly, looking nostalgic, “I have never told you about my past. You must be very curious!”
Nami and the other five stood in a row, moved a small stool and sat down, staring at Xia Chen with bright eyes, ready to listen to his story.
“This story is a long story. It starts from…” Xia Chen paused deliberately at this point, and the other five people leaned forward involuntarily, “Where should I start? I don’t know. I was in a shipwreck and I don’t remember it very clearly.”
“Tsk!” Everyone looked disappointed and disdainful.
“Sanji, I’m hungry!”
“I’m going to train, Xia Chen, tell me what Haki is all about?”
“I’m going to change the rope, Luffy, come and help me!”
Everyone immediately looked like they were ready to go about their own business.
“But I still know some memory fragments. Crocus is the ship doctor of Gol D. Roger.”
The noisy voices disappeared all of a sudden, and even the breathing of everyone was extremely weak.
Luffy’s performance was the most exaggerated. His talent as a rubber man made his chin hit the floor again. Then he jumped up and asked Nami to turn the rudder and return to the ship. That was the ship doctor of One Piece. It just so happened that they didn’t have one on the ship. It would be great to take him with them.
But after being beaten by Nami, he became honest.
Xia Chen explained the story of the ship doctor a little bit. After all, he didn’t know much. He mainly used this person’s identity to prove the necessity of learning Haki.
In fact, it was similar to what Crocus thought. Xia Chen was also worried that these people would not be able to get started with Haki for a long time., will become lazy, and it is estimated that only Zoro can hold on in the end.
He is the most serious person on the ship.
Of course, taking this opportunity, Xia Chen also told them about the abilities of those people on the One Piece ship that he knew.
When Luffy heard about Shanks, he was extremely surprised on the spot, and Xia Chen also explained to him that Shanks used the domineering color to scare away the king of the sea.
Luffy said on the spot that he wanted to learn.
Xia Chen smiled but said nothing. I don’t know how to teach you now?
The key is that you can’t learn this thing!
You have to rely on talent!
Well… you can also collect it.
But when it comes to Buggy, everyone has doubts on their faces. Buggy is a weak chicken. Even Usopp and Sanji have heard of him.
“So you see, Shanks, who has Haki, has become one of the Four Emperors of the New World, and Buggy can only bully swordsmen with his fruit power… Zoro, you take back your knife first, but Buggy, who doesn’t have Haki, can only become a small pirate in the East China Sea. Isn’t the gap big? Is it bigger than that between people and dogs?”
Everyone nodded in unison, it’s true!
Buggy already has the best starting point a pirate can get.
He was once an intern on the ship of the Pirate King, and has countless powerful teachers and predecessors.
A devil fruit that is rarely seen by everyone, and it is also a fruit that is a natural enemy of swordsmen.
With such good conditions, he is still so rubbish. Facts have proved that this is indeed the difference between Haki and not.
The impression of Haki in the hearts of several people is even more majestic.
Zoro can’t wait to ask Xia Chen for advice.
Completely ignoring Usopp’s envious look, he would tell some stories when he was on the ship before, but most of the stories were made up by randomly combining various information he heard from outside.
And the only person who would cheer on the whole ship was Luffy.
Xia Chen did not refuse, just to let them experience the feeling of Haki first.
In fact, Xia Chen did not know how to learn Haki. It was true that he knew Haki, but he directly collected Haki from Garp.
He did not give Xia Chen the corresponding teaching experience. Xia Chen only understood what Haki was, and then added the few words he had seen in the original book before. He taught it half-baked, anyway, they were all geniuses.
Even if they can’t learn it now, it will be easier to get started when they have the opportunity in the future.
“Hard and hot.” This is the beautiful feeling.
“Xia Chen, can I cut it with a knife?” Zoro asked, “Get out!”
“Haki… metal-like defense.” Sanji murmured, and some unpleasant pictures flooded into his mind.
“This is Haki, but how can he release it?” Usopp is determined to become a sniper, he has the talent.
“It hurts, hehe, Nami, when did you learn Haki?” Luffy asked Xia Chen to hit his head with Haki, and after experiencing it, he confirmed that the feeling was no different from when his grandfather beat him.
But it was not much different from when Nami beat him at every turn!
“Huh? I can use Haki?” Nami pointed at her face in surprise.
