To Believe is To Be Powerful!

"How dare that old bastard Garp fabricate me like that behind my back, the sly old one, eh? I'll fucking you next time!" Sengoku's eyes grew more dangerous at the thought that Garp must have said something similar more than once.

Seeing Sengoku's face, Kong had to mourn in his heart, "O Garp! I'm sorry for you this time. I'll remember to give you incense next year!"

It couldn't be helped, even though he was Marine Fleet Admiral, he was afraid that Sengoku would give him the creeps, ah, this kind of big brother can't afford to mess with him.

"Ahem, since you plan to annihilate those pirates, which of this headquarters' battle strength do you plan to draw over?" Kong quickly changed the subject.

As expected, Sengoku, in his working state, quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and calmly analyzed, "If Zephyr and I rush over there as well, we might make those pirates misjudge the marine's determination to enter the New World. And then it would be more than worth it to provoke their rebellion."

"So, my idea is to have Sakazuki and Borsalino rush to reinforce them, and with Kuzan and Dragon both there, this kind of formation, even if all-out war does break out with the Whitebeard Pirates, there's still a good chance that they'll be wiped out!"

Kong nodded thoughtfully, "Garp, although notorious for small things, has always been very reliable in big things, and with him leading Dragon and the others, this war should not be much of a problem."

"It's the application from Sakazuki that has me a bit puzzled," Kong stroked his "M" shaped beard and asked, "This recruit, Longinus, I've heard a lot of rumors about him while he was recovering from his injuries. After all, he's only a newcomer who's been in the boot camp for a year, so this level of war is still too early for him. "

"Could it be ... that Sakazuki is deliberately ..." said Kong and shook his head, "and no, with Sakazuki's personality, if he looks at him, It is only possible just to put him to death."

"Fleet Admiral Kong, did you call me here again after reading only part of the report on Impel Down?" Sengoku said helplessly.

Kong stroked his beard with dramatic slowness before saying, as if nothing had happened, "I certainly can't have the heart to keep watching when something so important has happened."

"During this riot in Impel Down, Longinus single-handedly suppressed all the pirates in Blazing Hell and Freezing Hell who attempted to escape. And even one of the three rising stars of Impel Down, Ember, was defeated by him. That culprit who caused the riot in Impel Down wouldn't even have been able to escape if it wasn't for Byrnndi World intervening at the last minute," Sengoku told all that he had learned about the situation.

"Is that even something that a newcomer just a year into boot camp can do?" Kong was so shocked that he nearly tore off his beard and asked incredulously, "I remember that the pirates held in those two levels of hell have a minimum bounty of 50 million berries, right."

"Also, I have some impressions of that newcomer in Impel Down called Ember, who seems to be a superstar that the Government specially nurtured for Impel Down after Sakazuki, and the three of them shook the world with the name of monsters."

Kong exclaimed, "With the same fearsome and excellent talent as Sakazuki and the others, and a training time that is above Longinus, but in the end, he ended up losing in the other side's hands. So it seems that this headquarters has produced a remarkable newcomer this time!"

"Longinus has now surpassed the strength of a Vice Admiral in the ordinary sense of the word, I would have thought he would only reach this level in his third year, and he's surprised me this time too!" Sengoku said with an approving nod.

"So, you're inclined to agree with Sakazuki's application?"

"Well, with Longinus's current strength, only this level of warfare can give him enough training."

...

"You've done a great job this time, not only did Impel Down praise you greatly, but even the Government also offered a rare commendation." Zephyr looked at the relaxed and steady disciple in front of him and said with great satisfaction.

"It's nothing." Longinus wore a faint smile on his face as this sort of thing didn't make him much of a psychological mess at all.

"You! Sometimes it's hard to know whether to say you're overly modest or overly proud, and you don't even take this kind of achievement that deserves a big book in the eyes of others seriously at all." Zephyr said half helplessly, and half gratefully, then his face became suddenly serious, "You've made up your mind to go to the New World? While it's true that you're not weak right now, anything can happen in a meat grinder like that, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me one day that Garp had died in battle."

"Although I'm not sure of Admiral Sengoku's deployment, I have a feeling that the fight for hegemony in the New World might soon come to an end, and if I miss this time, I don't know when the next time I'll want to participate in a war of this level will be." Longinus looked determined, in the world of pirates, the fastest means to improve strength was always to fight, the method of fighting out a new world did not apply to this world.

Crocodile and Moria of the future timeline are the best evidence of surviving to rise out of the power ranks.

"That's a hunch you have ..." Zephyr shook his head and sighed, then looked serious, "If you've made up your mind, then come with me."

Seeing Zephyr turn and head towards the training ground, Longinus quickly followed.

"According to the information I've received, you'll be leaving tomorrow, which means that the only guidance I can give you is for today." Zephyr was saying seriously and suddenly smiled again, "With your talent and knowledge of Haki, one day is almost enough, but the rest is up to you to comprehend on the battlefield."

"The so-called Haki is the power latent in the human body, and the only thing one can rely on to draw that power out is one's own belief. If you master the technique, most people will be able to gain the power of Haki. Still, according to that, that level of Haki will be of little use, not even more powerful than the most ordinary gun."

"Of the three Haki, Kenbunshoku Haki corresponds to the soul. By integrating the soul into nature, one begins by enhancing one's five senses. And those who are proficient in Kenbunshoku can acquire a sixth sense beyond the five senses, the mind sense that is often used to describe intuition, hunch, and insight. Those who develop Kenbunshoku to the extreme can acquire a seventh sense above the sixth, the sense of time that can foretell the future."

"Busoshoku Haki corresponds to Physique on the other hand. It is said here that Busoshoku Haki is expendable, while the Physique is the upper limit of Haki's amount that can be held in the body. The stronger the physique, the more Haki the body can hold, and the higher the quality of Haki that faith draws from the body to inspire."

"Haoshoku Haki corresponds to boldness, and I can't tell you too much about that. After all, I don't even have Haoshoku myself."

"Does the three Haki correspond to the essence of the human body?"

"Essence? That's quite a new idea." Zephyr smiled, "The use of Busoshoku Haki is mainly wrapping and hardening, and its core concept is two words, soft and rigid!"

"As I've said before, Haki exists deep within every human body, and to draw it out relies on one's own beliefs, and the use of Busoshoku Haki is likewise a reflection of one's own beliefs."

"Give Busoshoku Haki the attribute of softness or rigidity with a strong belief, imagine Busoshoku Haki as soft silk wrapped around a weapon, imagine it as hard armor attached to the body, the stronger the belief, the easier it will be to do."

"Before I teach you the specifics of the path, I will send you one last message, to believe firmly is to be strong, never doubt yourself. Once you begin to deny yourself, it means failure, it means decline, and once you instill your belief in yourself, even if it is the wrong path in the eyes of others, you must follow through with it with determination."
