Chapter 53: Thick-Bottomed Trousers! Crushing-Little-Girl Fist!

Chapter 53: Thick-Bottomed Trousers! Crushing-Little-Girl Fist!

The black flowing on his fist was like dark ink flowing on paper, or like gushing black oil, surging in layers.

With 'Hardening' level Haki, no matter how you controlled it, you couldn't stack Haki. No matter how much Haki you had, the distribution of Hardening was always fixed.

If you wanted to increase the power of Haki, to gather the Haki from those useless places and use it uniformly, you had to make the Haki 'flow', concentrating it in the location you wanted.

This was 'Ryuō' (Flowing Sakura/Coating).

The two weren't even mutually exclusive; they could be used simultaneously.

But the things that could be coated with Haki were not limited to the body and objects touched by the body. After coating an object, it could be *thrown*!

Currently, Sag had mastered these two forms.

Compared to the Haki power that he couldn't understand no matter how hard he thought about it or how he tried to produce it, Garp had forced it out with a single punch, even *before* he had used 'Ginga Impact'.

Indeed, only battle against a strong enemy could allow one to freely unleash their power in the midst of life and death.

"Hahaha..."

Sag let out a light laugh, and the laughter grew louder and louder, turning into a wild laugh. "Ho-hahahaha!"

He finally knew Haki!

"Sag, why are you only laughing now? Everyone's already finished," Renettia tilted her head, a question mark appearing.

The cheers of the slave laborers had long since ended. They were all staring at him, watching him inexplicably looking at his arm, and then laughing belatedly.

"You wouldn't understand!"

Sag laughed and ruffled Renettia's pink hair. "In ancient times, there was Teacher Kai who gave a three-hit speed course, and today there is Senior Kar who gave a one-punch enlightenment. I'm also a man with the potential of a king!"

"Eh? Weren't you always? Senior Kar... Garp's surname is Monkey, not Kar. Also, who is Teacher Kai?" Renettia was puzzled.

"A certain youthful beast, it's not important."

Sag waved his hand, in a great mood.

It wasn't that he was overjoyed because he knew Haki. It was mainly because when he mastered Haki, he discovered something worth rejoicing over.

With Haki, the rarest Haoshoku Haki was probably impossible to strengthen through training. The truly rarest, Kenbunshoku Haki, was like Devil Fruits: it depended on aptitude, that is, on fate.

The ultimate development of Kenbunshoku Haki was 'future sight,' the only realm that the ordinary version could achieve through effort, but very few people could reach it, almost to the point of legend.

The VIP version, Sag didn't have.

He had just obtained this thing, and he didn't know how far he could develop it.

As for Haoshoku Haki, although he hadn't mastered it yet, he knew that this thing had no boundaries. Besides becoming more proficient, there should be special methods to improve it.

Otherwise, where did Haoshoku Haki coating come from?

Before he transmigrated, he had also seen Teacher Kai!

Although he had forgotten most of the plot, after all, he was immersed in this world, and the names of those great pirates were constantly ringing in his ears. It was hard to forget them.

But if he wanted to comprehend it, he didn't know yet.

But it was probably related to battle. Everything comes down to battle.

If you win, it's win-win.

These two types of Haki didn't have 'quantity'. At least Sag felt that his Kenbunshoku Haki was passive. It could be turned active with deliberate use, but there was no 'quantity'. It could be used infinitely.

Maybe it would consume stamina, but it was unrelated to 'quantity'.

The only thing that had 'quantity' was Busoshoku Haki.

This kind of Haki, which everyone could use by controlling their will, also showed everyone's capacity because of the strength of their will. Everyone had the ability to use Busoshoku, but how long they could use it and how much they could use were completely different.

The reason Sag dared to rush into the New World as long as he mastered Haki, without waiting to master 'internal destruction', 'Haoshoku Haki coating', or 'future sight', was here.

Haki wasn't invincible. Mastering internal destruction was just so-so. The skill of using Haki and the *strength* of Haki were not the same thing.

Especially those good-for-nothings in the New World who had mastered their will and were complacent about using Haki. What was the use of having Haki?

The power exerted by the capacity of a cup of water was at most equivalent to the height of the cup; it would not become a water tank.

And what Sag discovered was this.

If those good-for-nothings were a cup of water, and the more powerful elites were a water tank, then his Haki amount...

*Boom!*

He clenched his fist forcefully, causing the air to explode. The flowing black surged like waves, stacking up on his fist, layer upon layer, never ceasing.

It was a device that would keep producing water!

Although the upper limit of his Busoshoku Haki was not high yet, no matter how Sag used it, he felt that his Haki would regenerate quickly.

No matter how much he used, no matter how he used it, within this limit, he couldn't use it up!

This discovery was what really made him ecstatic.

Once Busoshoku Haki was exhausted, it naturally had to be restored through rest. It was related to physical strength, but not really. Infinite physical strength didn't mean infinite Haki.

But infinite Haki...

It's overpowered!

This was a manifestation of willpower. Sag always felt that this should be compensation for his previous life.

Suppressed by his adoptive father, wanting him to wait for death in peace, but his own unyielding and firm will!

Failing so many times in starting businesses, failing in every industry, but still full of ambition, the unyielding spirit of constantly changing industries!

This was what cultivated his constantly surging, super-fast regeneration-like Haki amount!

Probably...

He didn't know how it formed, but anyway, this amount of Busoshoku Haki, for him, would constantly regenerate and never be exhausted.

Next, as long as he increased the upper limit, he would be like a perpetual motion machine. As long as he could still swing his fist, he could use Haki. Even if he couldn't swing his fist, he could cover his whole body!

"Lily, count the people!" Sag grinned.

"Six hundred, six hundred and one..."

Before he even spoke, Lily had already jumped onto the second floor and was counting heads. At this time, she counted the rest roughly and shouted, "Sag, six hundred and fifty people!"

This ship's standard capacity was already more than half full. It was completely possible to sail the ship without Renettia's ability, relying only on the pirates.

"Hmm, the same as what I sensed!"

Sag nodded and shouted, "Let's have a party..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly stopped, looking at the starry sky above and the black sail that hadn't been painted with any color yet, and stroked his chin thoughtfully. "We have enough people. It's time to come up with a name. What should our pirate crew be called?"

"Thick-Bottomed Trousers Pirates!" Renettia raised her hand first. (厚裤头, *Houkutou*, sounds like Hokuto)

"Huh?"

Sag was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "It's Hokuto! Hokuto! Not Thick-Bottomed Trousers!"

Renettia thought for a moment and raised her hand again. "Then... Crushing-Little-Girl Fist Pirates!" (压哭妹子拳, *Yakumeizi Quan*, sounds like Hyakuretsu Ken)

"That's Hyakuretsu Ken! Although I have this ability and it's very strong, I don't use my fists, and I don't do things that force people! Don't mess around!" Sag's forehead bulged with veins.

"How about Death Omen Star Pirates?" Lily walked over and said, "You always say that the Death Omen Star is shining..."

Sag nodded. "That's also possible..."

"Um, Captain..."

Suddenly, a slave laborer raised his hand and said, "Aren't we the Natural Disaster Pirates?"
