Chapter 44 Zephyr Conqueror's Haki (6)

Being able to become a Marine Admiral, there is no doubt that Zephyr possesses Conqueror's Haki.

After all, to fight the real monsters on the sea, simple Armament Haki is insufficient. Zephyr is exceptional not only for his powerful Armament Haki but also for his Conqueror's Haki. This is why he is known as Black Arm Zephyr.

At this moment, feeling the familiar pressure of the blood-red aura, Zephyr was certain this was Conqueror's Haki, but precisely because of this, he felt extremely strange.

He had never heard that Conqueror's Haki awakening would look like this.

When he first awakened Conqueror's Haki, it was uncontrollable, pouring out in all directions like a bursting balloon. But now, this kid's Conqueror's Haki seemed to be proceeding step by step, slowly expanding.

It felt like this kid's Conqueror's Haki was confronting some force.

Additionally, he had faced off against countless strong Conqueror's Haki users, including Rocks, who was once called the King of the World.

However, among these strong men, no one's Conqueror's Haki gave him such a strange feeling.

This instinctive feeling of fear and rejection in his body made him even doubt that this was really Conqueror's Haki.

"It looks like I've met an incredible kid! With this kind of talent... he's truly a monster!"

With just a few words of instruction from him, the Conqueror's Haki awakened. It was nothing but monstrous.

But it was true, which made Zephyr hesitate even more.

And at this moment, while sweating coldly as he resisted this extremely weird Conqueror's Haki, a voice that surprised him suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Teacher!!!"

Zephyr looked back in surprise and saw his disciple Ain, withstanding the impact of Conqueror's Haki, flying through the air towards him, and suddenly came to his side.

"How can it be!?"

At this moment, Ain, who rushed to his teacher's side, also saw Gnar standing there quietly in the distance with the blood-red aura lingering around him, and asked with a surprised look on her face.

"Teacher, what...what's going on?"

Zephyr asked in a low tone with a confused look on his face.

"Ain, can't you feel this Conqueror's Haki?"

Although Zephyr also liked his disciple very much, he knew the level of this disciple. Even when he faced Gnar's Conqueror's Haki, he shed a few drops of cold sweat, but Ain looked fine.

"Conqueror's Haki!?"

Ain was surprised when she heard this and understood why the teacher was so confused.

But she didn't know the answer either.

At this time, Zephyr looked at his disciple with deep eyes and said slowly.

"Although powerful Conqueror's Haki users can easily control their own Conqueror's Haki and choose the objects to shock..."

Having said this, Zephyr looked at Gnar in the distance.

"But in the case of the first awakening, only those who are trusted by the heart of the awakened Conqueror's Haki can avoid the accidental injury of Conqueror's Haki."

"!!!"

Ain's body trembled suddenly, her pupils full of disbelief as she looked at the pirate in the distance and murmured to herself.

"How...how is it possible...teacher...I..."

Zephyr no longer wanted to ask further questions.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I ask you to protect the residents of Nahana?"

Ain glanced at Gnar with some reluctance, then turned back and answered.

"Teacher, the pirate ship of Vampire Gnar disappeared strangely. We were worried that he had some escape plan, so we came to inform you, teacher. However, as soon as we got close, the others fainted..."

"I know! But now is not the time to take care of the pirate ship. Take those who fainted away from here. The next battle may be beyond my control..."

"!!!"

Ain was shocked. Before she understood what was going on, she saw the blood-red Conqueror's Haki, centered on Gnar, spread to the Gobi Desert, with an area of about ten kilometers. It suddenly stopped expanding and stagnated, and Gnar also slowly came back to his senses and spoke.

"Have you reached your limit?!"

It is not easy to fight against the entire world with the strength of one person.

With the vitality that Gnar has gained through his Zoan Devil Fruit over the years, in this battle of the world's will, he could only obtain this ten-kilometer-wide Conqueror's Haki domain.

"But that's enough!"

As Gnar finished speaking, Zephyr looked at him with some disbelief.

The blood-colored Conqueror's Haki that had spread out all over Gnar's body suddenly began to shrink rapidly. In just the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened, the Conqueror's Haki actually returned to Gnar's body.

Zephyr was a little stunned when he saw this scene.

As an expert in using Haki, he had never heard of the possibility of taking back released Haki.

"Kid, how did you do it? You were able to put Conqueror's Haki back into your body!?"

"How did I do it? Maybe it's the Life Return technique you mentioned, Mr. Zephyr!"

Gnar did not lie. This was indeed the Life Return technique that Zephyr had just taught him, but it was not Gnar's initiative. It was because the Conqueror's Haki he had awakened at this moment existed to fight against the will of this world.

In this world that completely envelops him, his Conqueror's Haki could not be vented anywhere else.

After Gnar took the initiative to retrieve it, the will of this world squeezed his Conqueror's Haki back into his body again.

But this does not mean that from now on, the Haki in Gnar's body will never be consumed.

Because he had already felt it just now, the Haki he took back was only one-third of the original.

As for the reason, it is very simple: in terms of Gnar's existence, among his body, soul, and Devil Fruit, only the soul is rejected by this world, while the power of the body and Devil Fruit still comes from this world.

However, this brings another unexpected benefit.

Although the awakening of Conqueror's Haki just now consumed two-thirds of the vitality in his body, the remaining one-third underwent incredible changes under the squeeze of the will of this world.

How to describe it?

It can be understood as an evolution of life levels.

Under the squeeze and forging of the will of this world, the energy density of the life force in Gnar's body became higher.

The chain reaction of this is that at this moment, Gnar's strength and defense have been upgraded to a higher level.

If this continues, maybe it won't be long before he becomes the truly strongest creature in the world.

He might be able to compete with Haki with his physical strength alone.

However, there is a limitation: his body must store enough vitality for him to achieve great evolution.

At this moment, the adventurous Gnar, who was still hesitant about going to the Undersea Prison: Impel Down, made up his mind in an instant.

So, the next question is how to safely sneak into the underwater prison: Impel Down...
