I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

"Hmm...it's time for 5 love points again. What should I exchange it for?" Zoro muttered to himself as he walked on the street.

So he opened the system mall and was about to exchange for the advanced domineering color as planned, when he suddenly trembled... His eyes were fixed on the "Top level observation color domineering - consciousness conveying thought resonance (5w)", which was too small, too small.

Originally, this top-level observation Haki had always been his first priority. He could do without foresight for the time being, as he had already seen the distant future; the ability to communicate thoughts and resonance with consciousness was not very helpful in battle, but when he arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, he remembered the future plot.

I couldn't help but think of the princess of Fishman Island - Otohime. Her observation Haki was not for combat, but it could sense the other person's thoughts and emotions, and convey her own consciousness to others, influencing their minds and thoughts and generating strong resonance, and even changing their values ​​and ideology.

Even the Celestial Dragon Donquixote Musgard Saint, who liked to collect murloc slaves, had his thoughts completely changed after being rescued by Otohime, and the influence was so far-reaching that he still defended Neptune and Shirahoshi at the World Conference ten years later.

According to Zoro's understanding, it was very much like a master of psychology, using some kind of opportunity to give people a psychological hint, forcibly lowering their intelligence and changing their thinking. According to the rules summarized by so many years of exploration, changing the other party's thinking must also be related to their strength and will. But there is something called subtle influence. If it can't be changed once, then try ten times...

Isn't this a perfect tool for harvesting love points? With this, why bother pretending to be a pervert? It has top-tier Domineering Haki, top-tier Armament Haki, too. The road is narrow, the cheese and bread are right before your eyes!

System, exchange for top-level observation Haki - consciousness conveys resonance of thoughts.

As his mind became empty, Zoro's temperament changed drastically. He became very trustworthy and approachable.

Passersby turned their heads and looked at the swordsman who was lying motionless with his eyes closed. An uncle approached with concern and asked, "Young man, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to be taken to the hospital?"

Zoro came back to his senses and slowly opened his eyes: "Hmm? Oh, no... No, thank you."

The passerby sighed with relief and expressed his concern: "I'm glad you're okay, young man. Be careful on this street. Don't stand in the middle of the road and stare blankly. It's easy to offend the nobles."

"Okay, got it. Thank you. Goodbye, uncle."

Looking at Zoro's receding figure, the uncle said: "Hmm... He's a very nice young man, very polite."

When Zoro heard the uncle's voice, he sighed in his heart: The top-level Observation Haki is so terrifying. He quickly turned off his Observation Haki to avoid being approached by people around him.

As he continued to move forward, he saw a group of people crawling and kneeling on the ground. A snotty-nosed, mentally retarded man wearing a diving suit shot and wounded a young man.

A female nurse screamed helplessly, "Killing someone openly, how can this be justified? Someone, please save him! Please save him!"

Zoro grinned and stepped forward quickly: I'll use you to test the effect. I don't like fighting in my life, but I am good at ending fights!

The idiot looked at Zoro in shock when he saw that there was someone who refused to kneel in front of him, and the supernovas next to him widened their eyes, wanting to see what Zoro was going to do.

The retard slowly raised his gun and pointed it at Zoro, and Zoro activated his top-level observation Haki: "Even if you are a high-ranking Celestial Dragon, you can't kill people at will."

As he spoke, he revealed a murderous aura that threatened to scare the idiot. He placed one hand on the hilt of the knife and said, "Just think about it. If I killed you here, how sad would your father and sister, who have been with you day and night, be?"

As he spoke, he conveyed the sadness of the loss of a loved one to the mentally retarded child.

"This bastard! What does he want to do?" Bonnie, who was watching the show, frowned.

The retard slowly put down the gun in his hand and muttered to himself, "Father and sister, they will be very sad if they can't wait for me at the auction."

"It's the same for him. If no one saves him, his parents will be heartbroken." Zoro conveyed this feeling of pity to the mentally retarded consciousness.

"That seems to make sense..." The retard nodded on the spot and pointed to a bodyguard in a suit next to him: "You! Take him to the hospital."

"Yes!" Although the bodyguard in suits was puzzled as to why the Celestial Dragon Saint Charlos would listen to the swordsman, he now also liked Zoro.

Hmm... the effect is surprisingly good, I'll try it again...

So he had a blast, a look of compassion on his face, like a Living Buddha saving the world, and used his sight and hearing to frantically convey the Buddhist concept of karma, past and present, to this mentally retarded person: "All sentient beings are reincarnated in the three lives and six realms. Whether you are noble in this life or not is determined by the karma of your past life. Those who do good receive a good position, and those who do evil receive an evil position. You were born noble in this life because of the good results of your past life. However, if you do evil in this life, you will be born lowly in the next life. If we say that we are born everywhere and therefore called sentient beings, then sentient beings all circulate in the five realms according to their karma, so we say that all sentient beings are equal."

"Ah? I don't want to be a pariah. What should I do?"

"All beings are equal. Releasing these slaves will be a good deed." Zoro smiled compassionately.

"These... these slaves cost a lot of money. If I release them, my father will blame me. I need to think about it..."

Then the retard suddenly thought of something: "Oh right... Father and sister are still waiting for me at the auction. I have to hurry over."

After saying this, he directed the slaves to move forward.

"Sigh..." Zoro sighed lightly, shook his head, and watched the mentally retarded figure walking away.

Zoro fell into deep thought. Simply transmitting consciousness wasn't enough to change someone's mind. It also required a specific opportunity, a person, an event, or a major change, perhaps even emotional instability, to cause a sudden change. Without that opportunity, one could only plant a seed in someone's mind. Hmm... in a novel about cultivating immortality, this technique would be called "planting a demon in the heart of Taoism"!

"Hey! What did you just do?" Just as Zoro was stroking his chin in thought, Bonnie had already walked to Zoro's side and patted his shoulder: "Why would that domineering Celestial Dragon listen to you?"

Zoro came back to his senses and saw that it was Bonnie. He grinned and said, "A secret! I'll tell you when we meet in the new world."

"Tsk, who cares to know! You idiot, actually threatened to kill the Celestial Dragons in this town, are you trying to attract the admiral of the navy? Pirates also have to abide by the rules between pirates! Don't cause us trouble."

"Oh! I see. I still have things to do. See you later!" Zoro was too lazy to argue with her. He still had some love points to harvest, so he had to rush to the auction as soon as possible.
