Chapter 18: CH-18
After he dodge a few more of his attacks,he don't know he should continue or directly teach armament Haki .
Garp arrival started with his laughter when he saw bogard standing like a stone statue.
"Bogard,leave it to me... I'll do it." He patted his shoulder and said.Just when Yoriichi is about to take off the black cloth,garp said,
"Don't take it off....The training is not over yet."
Aokiji who is watching ,recalled some bad memories in his mind, twitching his eyelids, and secretly praying to him in his heart.
"Boy,I will attack you, you have to ready!"
While Garp was speaking, his momentum also changed.
Yoriichi was startled after sensing garp's presence had completely disappeared.In the next moment,a strong air flow rushed towards his face, hitting his head.
Bam!
garp's fist caused him to stagger and almost fell to the ground.
"Sure enough,he sensed not by observation Haki but, his natural instincts!" Garp grinned knowingly.
Above this sea, there are people who can judge the opponent's position and attack through their murderous aura, breath, etc.
But this is not the same thing as observation Haki.
"If you don't quickly grasp this, I'm afraid you will have to suffer some beating !"
Garp grinned and said.
just as he approached directly and about to punch him in the chest.
"I understand it now!"
A fist that is wrapped by whistling wind,is being dodged, rendering garp to look at with ridiculous eyes.
!this feeling!'garp's eyes widened with bewildered expression.
Even after sending out a barrage of punches,he effortlessly evade as if like he is like a ghost .
'so this is the effect of observation Haki?'as he thought to himself, several figures that is being clouded with gleaming mist, appeared in his blindfolded vision.
"Bahahahah"
"What an terrible talent,haha".his eyes shining brightly.
This time is definitely real observation Haki!all of sudden,his sense of reality started to crumble down as they have to suffered countless hour of sweat and blood to master just an initial phase.
But what about him? indeed!He might be the last wall if anything goes wrong!
"This is absurd!"Aokiji said in unbelievable tone.
After a week, Yoriichi have been mastered basically observation and armament Haki to the entry level.but,he still have a long way to go if he wanted to reach intermediate level.
The ship finally stopped after seeing a kingdom called Neil.They also needed to re supplied if they wanted to continue their hunting.
garp who was finally numbed to Yoriichi 's abnormal growth, started to strolled around the Neil kingdom with the wish of collecting the information of the Roger pirates and seeing his teacher.
Neil is a large island in the new world.Even though there are military armies,their strength are relatively low.For its own safety, they had become a member of the World Government, But secretly,they will also open the door for pirates that are entering the new world, so that the pirates have a place to replenish.
With both black and white,they gained a foothold in the new world. Whenever there is a vicious incident where pirates attacked civilians, they would seek out the help from navy.In some cases where even navy can't help,they would intimidated with the pirates that the kingdom had help,to solve.Even Whitebeard pirates are surprisedly included in their alliance.
Unlike the navy,his name have more daunting effect in these pirates .as for the navy's help,it is just for taking extra precautions.Afterall,you can't put all you eggs in one basket.
"Squeak... squeak..."
Garp slowly stepped out of the warship.Behind him are Aokiji,Bogard and Yoriichi.
The leader of the G-10 branch of the navy that stationed in the Kingdom of Nier, is a man called Loka. He seems to have known that Garp is coming, and he has been waiting at the port early.
Rear admiral Loka is a bit older, looking like he is in his 70s. he is standing at the port wit his closing eyes. Although his body seemed very strong,the wrinkles on the skin, and the white hair on the head are making the appearance of weakness.
The sound of the wooden ladder being lowered seemed to have awakened the old guy.He opened his closed eyes and saw Garp, appearing a smile on his. Face.
"You still the same as ever, Garp." Although Loka is only a rear admiral , he can called garp by his first name.None of the naval officers and soldiers who are following garp,showed anything but surprise. they all greeted Rear Admiral Loka familiarly.
Loka waved officers and soldiers, and said ,
"Recently, I haven't received any news about Roger."
"Hahahaha, uncle Loka, I just wanted to see you this time."
Garp laughed after hearing this.Loka just shook his head when he heard this, and said lightly:
"Come on, let's go and have a rest first."
After the words fell, both of them walked side by side towards the naval branch that is not far away.
At this moment, Yoriichi looked curiously at Loka asked to Aokiji:
"Kuzan, who this uncle Loka really is ?"
"Are they by chance relative with garp?"
Aokiji lowered his head when he heard the words before he explained with a smile:
"Oh, Garp studied under uncle Loka when he was young. Though Garp is not the only one, there are also vice admiral Crane and Sengoku"
As soon as Yoriichi heard the words, he was a little puzzled, and continued to ask:
"I don't try to be rude but what make them to learn under him...."Yoriichi lowered his voice, a little puzzled. However, this time, it was not Aokiji who answered but loka who was walking in the front.
"That's because, strength isn't always the measurement for one person 's value"
"Not only you have to have strength but also wisdom"
"Trust me I maynot be strong but I have years of leadership when it's come to leading the navy ships."
As soon as Yoriichi heard this, he lowered his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect that his hearing was so sensitive.It's indeed somewhat rude to snoop on someone behind their back.
"Sorry, rear admiral loka" Yoriichi apologized after a brief embarrassment. Hearing his apology, Loka waved his hand with no angers at all.
After looking at Yoriichi for a while, he asked garp: "Who is this kid?" When Garp heard this, he raised his chin toward Yoriichi, motioning him to speak for himself.
. "Rear admiral Luka, my name is Yoriichi." Loka nodded when he heard the words, and a look of emotion suddenly appeared on his old face:
"It's been a long time since I saw such a young navy."
"Boy, are you wondering why I could hear what you just said?"
" I ate hearing -hearing devil fruit !"
" If I wanted to, I can hear everyone on this island!"
As soon as Yoriichi heard the words, his expression became clear, and he said with emotion:
"Can you hear everyone talking?that is kind of like breaking someone 's privacy " Loka was stunned when he heard the words, then suddenly laughed ,
"Hahahahaha!"
"Interesting kid!"
