Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 46 Ryuo and Observation Haki
Conqueror's Haki is one of the rarest powers in the world of One Piece.

Unlike the other two types of Haki, Conqueror's Haki represents a kingly quality. Those who possess Conqueror's Haki can overwhelm or frighten their enemies without even lifting a finger.

When Guan Yi first entered the world of One Piece, he never dared to imagine that he could possess such exceptional talent, one in a million. After all, he was just an ordinary transmigrator and high school student.

But practicing martial arts not only strengthens the body, but also the inner spirit.

When Guan Yi was about to reach the pinnacle in the Kengan world and had defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea three times in a row in the One Piece world, he no longer believed that he lacked the aura of a king.

With the right will, he succeeded.

After trying, Guan Yi discovered that his Conqueror's Haki was still very weak. He could only release a little bit when using the Tiger Form, and after a few times, he would feel mentally exhausted.

It was originally unable to cultivate; it could only improve as the user's will increased.

Guan Yi suppressed his excitement for the time being, putting aside the Conqueror's Haki that couldn't improve his immediate combat power, and focused on appreciating the gains from the previous two battles.

"Explosive core..."

Guan Yi's muscles twitched, quickly concentrating his power into a single point. He stretched out his palm and easily crushed the trunk of a large tree.

"Using this technique can indeed generate several times the power, but the muscles become stiff and locked in one point, which is not conducive to the use of various techniques."

But if I'm not mistaken...

Guan Yi's muscles have fully recovered. He closes his eyes and mobilizes another kind of power.

Armament Haki! By using the technique of 'bursting the core' to concentrate the muscles into a single point, Guan Yi manipulated Armament Haki, gradually gathering the excess Armament Haki power onto his fist before unleashing it!

bang——

An invisible shockwave roared, and although Guan Yi hadn't exerted any force, a large tree more than ten meters away snapped in two, crushing a bunch of insects that had just been stunned by his Overlord's Haki.

Sure enough!

This is why Wano Country refers to Armament Haki as Ryuo – the outward expression of Armament Haki, a higher-level application of Armament Haki!

Guan Yi picked up a thin twig and slowly wrapped it with his Armament Haki, adding immense hardness to the otherwise easily broken branch. With a swing of his arm, the twig transformed into an iron rod, easily smashing the fallen tree.

Bang bang bang! Guan Yi was having a great time, chopping as he went, and within a two-meter radius around him, no tree or grass taller than him was allowed to exist!
The commotion startled a large wild boar, nearly three meters tall, which emerged from the distant bushes and charged at Guan Yi, who had disturbed its afternoon nap, like a madman.

Guan Yi deftly dodged the attack, not striking Lunch with his bare hands, but instead closing his eyes.

"Let's try Imai's cosmos."

The wild boar charged in like a heavy truck. Guan Yi found his sense of domain and tried to dodge the boar's attack in a split second and give the boar the illusion that it had been hit. However, he found that his Observation Haki was unconsciously activated.

Whoosh—the invisible Observation Haki expanded as if forming a domain. Then, Guan Yi felt that within an area of ​​several meters in radius, without needing to look, no movement could escape his perception.

It's a strange feeling.

From the gentle breeze and trembling leaves to the footsteps and breath of a wild boar, Guan Yi can not only be seen, but also heard and touched.

He even had the illusion that he had become a god in this area, able to influence the senses of other creatures.

So he tried to influence the wild boars.

The next moment, the wild boar, which had been charging straight at Guan Yi, subtly changed direction. Although it still managed to hit Guan Yi, the boar sensed that Guan Yi's body had moved about ten centimeters to the right, even though Guan Yi hadn't moved at all! Thump—

Guan Yi sidestepped again, causing the wild boar to crash into a tree. He then used Armament Haki to pierce the boar's head with a thin branch, taking its life.

"My Observation Haki... seems to have mutated?"

Carefully consider and understand the meaning.

I thought the awakening of Conqueror's Haki and the mastery of Armament Haki were the biggest surprises this time, but it seems there are other experts as well.

Those who have watched the anime will know that, unlike Armament Haki, Observation Haki can be acquired through training or is 'innately awakened'.

Such innate awakening is often accompanied by extraordinary abilities. For example, there is a little girl named Aisha on Skypiea who was born with an extremely wide range of Observation Haki abilities. She can also distinguish the strength of each aura and sense the thoughts of each person!
Gol D. Roger's ability to hear the voice of all things in One Piece is likely a similar example.

Guan Yi's Observation Haki was originally acquired from the "Red Man Style Martial Arts" of the Kengan world. After merging with Imai's cosmos "Domain", it underwent a very unique change, forming the "Observation Haki Domain".

The area is not large; even with all its current efforts, Guan Yi can only cover a radius of about ten meters.

However, in this area, Guan Yi's Observation Haki can influence the opponent's perception and mislead their judgment. More importantly, although no one has tested his moves, Guan Yi believes that this can mislead the opponent's Observation Haki and give him the upper hand in Observation Haki duels!

As his opponents grew stronger, the seventh and eighth matches brought Guan Yi a significant improvement that exceeded his expectations.

Not only did he awaken Conqueror's Haki, but his Armament Haki and Observation Haki also made transformative progress. He was even more looking forward to the final match against Kuroki Gensai, but... he didn't have enough money, and he didn't have enough life points.

"What I've gained this time is enough for me to digest for a long time. The effects of what happened before haven't completely dissipated yet, and my life points are still slowly increasing. It's not advisable to go out to sea and cause trouble. I should go into seclusion and cultivate diligently!"

Guan Yi patiently lived like a savage on this deserted island, experimenting with the giant trees and beasts there to hone his skills.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

……

The time comes to the year 1518 of the Haiyuan calendar.

Two years remain before Luffy sets sail, while the explorers have been in the world of One Piece for nearly three years.

At this moment, Guan Yi is actually 21 years old in the One Piece world, officially entering the prime of his youth from a boy.

His tireless training day and night, coupled with his ever-growing physique, caused him to grow to approximately two meters tall, reflecting the unique characteristics of the One Piece world. Fortunately, it seemed that everything altered by the time and rule differences during the dungeon's settlement was restored; otherwise, even his parents might not have recognized him.

Standing shirtless on the beach, his exposed muscles exuded an explosive power, a kind of beauty that would make even bodybuilders feel ashamed.

Gazing at the boundless sea, Guan Yi, whose strength had reached a new level, was filled with pride.

"From this day forward, I will stand in the heavens!"

Okay, don't get me wrong.

He is not challenging the Four Emperors and their generals.

He looked up at the sky, pondering the details in his memory.

"How do I get to Sky Island?"
