Haki

Izumi was gasping for breath. He feels the pain from all of his body. He try to stand up, but his body won't listen him. Mihawk approaching him with his murderous aura that seem he want to kill izumi. Izumi panicked and try to stand up with difficulty.

'Come on my body, if you won't move, I will die.' said izumi in his mind.

Little by little, a footstep was getting closer. Izumi gathered all of his energy left then it burst out along with pressure which even made Mihawk stop. Izumi barely able to stand up but right now his aura made the people around him fainted. except Mihawk. Well, izumi himself didn't even notice what happened to him at this moment.

"Interesting. What's your name." Mihawk smile lightly.

"Izumi, Miyamura Izumi." replied izumi.

Izumi felt some kind of power awaken within his body. He gather his chakra on his palm which rotating in multiple direction. Then he infuse wind chakra into it. It gives off screeching sound.

"Fuuton: Rasenshuriken" Izumi thrown his Rasenshuriken toward Mihawk. Mihawk seems like underestimate this technique. He try to block with his knife, but when it gets close to him and Mihawk slash that Rasenshuriken in order to stop it, he get a bad feeling about it. The central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates and producing a vortex of wind within detonate area. Because Mihawk feel this technique is so dangerous, he immediately use Busoshoku haki to all over his body in order to protect against the damage. Countless clanking sound was heard from all over his body. The cause of it was the vortex of wind produce countless microscopic wind blade clash against his body which coated with Busoshoku haki.

Because of Rasenshuriken detonates, izumi lose his footsteps and without energy left, he fainted and drown into the sea. Luffy's hand stretch out and grabbing izumi who was drown.

"Straw hat. Tell them to get stronger before challenge me again." After that Mihawk went away without bothering Don Krieg which was his target before.

"What an interesting youngsters. One was three style swordsman, another one was able to activate haki when he cornered." Mihawk has slight smile on his face remembering both of them, especially izumi. The technique unleashed by izumi had so much power. Even when his body already coated with Busoshoku haki, it still feels hurt a little. He look at his clothes which seem has hole due to izumi attack.

Meanwhile, Don Krieg saw Mihawk disappear from his view start to act once again. He ordering his crew to take over the Baratie restaurant. Then the battle broke out.

Two hours later.

"Ugghh." Izumi let out a sound and he begin to open his eyes.

"Izumi!!!" Luffy, nami and usopp shouted in unison. While sanji is smoking by their side with bandage wound on his body.

"I thought I was dead!" said izumi.

"YOU WERE THE ONE LOOKING TO DIE!!!" nami was furious right now. Nami was moved after what he said back then. Want to help her reclaim hers village even though they barely know each other. But now.

"Why are you even bother to challenge powerful people like seven warlord anyways?"

"Well, well, nami. Isn't he fine right now." luffy said casually with his smile.

"But, to think you were able to scratch that Mihawk. And also, the last time before you were fainted, you burst out aura which made us scared. Nami-san was hurt by your aura which made me want to beat you." said sanji as he puff out the smoke from his mouth.

'What?? Aura?? Was that haki, but i didn't feel anything.' Izumi confused. If what sanji said was true, then it means the Haoshoku Haki, since it relates to person aura. Izumi did unleashed unconsciously, so it can be said he was just lucky.

'Aggghhh..... If I have understand how to train haki....sigh.' thought izumi in regret.

"Then, why are you eagerly to challenge him?" asked luffy. The others also curious. Izumi wasn't swordsman, but he seem excited when he fought against Mihawk.

"Ah, I just want to learn Haki. But I don't know how. So I challenge the people who has it. Well, almost all Seven Warlords of The Sea could use Haki. When I saw number one swordsman in the world being here, I'm expecting him to use Haki, so I could learn from him."

"Haki?" Luffy, sanji, usopp, and nami look each other confused since this kind of power is new for them.

Izumi begin to explain. "Haki is some kind dormant power from every living person. It's rare to even awaken the ability. And even someone manage to awaken, it still need a lot of hard work in order to master it. You should note this because even you guys are not devil fruit user, if you learn one Haki, your strength will increased by leap and bound. There's only three types of Haki."

"First is Kenbunshoku Haki, which can grant you six sense, and you can sense people's presence, strength, emotions, and intentions. Just like Mihawk did when fought me back then. If you can master it, you can see the future for short period of time. But Mihawk obviously hasn't mastered this Haki."

"Second is Busoshoku Haki which allow you to use your own spiritual energy as armor to defend against attacks, and make your attacks more potent. Mihawk already mastering this Haki, which made his sword unbreakable after he use his Haki to his sword."

"The third one is hardest Haki to learn which is Haoshoku Haki. It's allow you to overpowering the other people willpower. If what you've said about me releasing aura were true. Then I might be on touch before completely awakening my Haki. Because, if I manage to awaken it. All of you would be fainted."

Izumi explain so long about the Haki to the others, so they could understand that not only devil fruit user were strong. And if they manage to awaken their haki earlier, then it will be a good thing. Izumi also want them not only have fun adventuring, but they need to train along the way too. Suddenly izumi turn his head toward the door.

"Old man, it's not good eavesdropping."

"What?" the others were surprised. Then, an old man with braid mustache get into the room.

"Hahaha, I couldn't help to visit you, a promising youngster. I thought you were reckless kid. But to think you challenge Seven Warlords in order to awaken your haki." The braid mustache old man is Zeff, who was former pirate captain. Izumi who heard what Zeff said just smile at him.

"Sorry to make you worry. How about zoro?" asked izumi.

"Well, he still alive, but his wound is more horrible than you." replied usopp.

"I see." Izumi look at his body which is bare chest now. There's so many wounds all over his body. He feel lucky that he is still fine.

"I'm gonna make something to eat." said sanji as he went to the kitchen.

After a while, Zeff ask luffy. "Kid, take that baby eggplant with you. The grand line is his dream."

"Sanji? No way."

"Why?"

"I'd love to have him for our cook. But he wants to stay here. So I can't force him." replied luffy.

"So you won't take him unless you agreed?"

"That's right."

The two of them didn't realize it. When they start their conversation, sanji was outside the door, so what they've talked was heard by him.
