Deep mountains and forests behind Mock Town.
This place is rarely visited by people. Although Mock Town is only a part of the Sky Island, it is still very large.
Kaos flew across the sky with the Stripe Killer and finally landed in a waterfall stream, which was a pretty good place.
Kaos was very excited, as the Stripe Killer was crucial to whether he could successfully cultivate his Observation Haki.
In fact, Kaos is very talented because of the reincarnation, but why can't he reach the threshold of Observation Haki or Armament Haki in such a long time? What is missing is a direction and clear guidance.
For techniques like the Six Styles, Kaos has a specific direction. Soru means stepping more than ten times in 0.36 seconds, Tekkai(Iron Body) means getting hit, Kami-e(Paper Arts) means dodging, Shigan(Finger Pistol) means constantly poking, and Rankyaku(Tempest Kick) means constantly kicking.
As long as you follow these directions and reach a critical point, you will naturally succeed in your practice. But Haki is different. This thing is equivalent to the internal force in martial arts.
How can you practice it if you don't even know the secrets and the eight extraordinary meridians? It's a simple truth. Just like the window paper, you will never know the world outside unless you break it.
What Kaos lacks now is someone to help him break through that layer of window paper and guide him in the right direction.
At that time, Kaos only needs to keep moving in that direction and he will eventually reach his destination. Without a sense of direction, Kaos might have been going around in circles all his life, let alone reaching the finish line.
The golden chain turned, and the Stripe Killer's head was revealed, covered in blood and looking very miserable.
"Damn it, what do you want to do!"
Although the Stripe Killer was angry, he did not lose his mind. This guy didn't kill him at the first moment, so he must have some value, which means there is a possibility of his survival.
This time I was careless. No pirate who can reach the price of 81 million is a fool. Otherwise, I would have died long ago.
Kaos looked calm and did not speak immediately. His whole body was tense and he was always alert. This time he caught the opponent completely by trickery.
If it weren't for the unexpected attack of the Gold-Gold Fruit, he really would not be this guy's opponent. The current 81 million is equivalent to 100 million or even 200 million in the future, and the combat effectiveness is real.
Even though it was a trick, Kaos was already a genius for becoming so strong in just three years and five months! But compared with those predecessors who had "golden fingers," Kaos was really just a piece of trash.
In three years and five months, they should have been beating the Four Emperors, crushing the Navy Admirals, and unifying the pirate world. Even Luffy is stronger than him. He can fight against four emperors in three years.
"I want to know how you awakened your Observation Haki!"
Kaos was silent for a moment, without beating around the bush, staring intently into the Stripe Killer's eyes.
"Haha~ You want to learn how to cultivate your Observation Haki from me?"
The Stripe Killer was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he is valuable, he can buy time.
Although he is arrogant and looks down on others, it does not mean that he has an IQ deficiency. The desire to survive is still very strong.
"If I can succeed in my cultivation, I will let you go."
Kaos ignored the Stripe Killer's laughter with a cold look in his eyes. He only cared about the Observation Haki.
The Stripe Killer laughed more and more quietly, and finally remained silent with blood all over his face.
"I don't want to force you to speak through torture. Just tell me everything about Observation Haki. If I succeed in my training, I'll let you go. We'll each get what we need."
"That's a pretty good deal. It seems that not everyone can awaken the sense of smell and color just because they want to. What if you can't awaken it in a year, ten years, or even your entire life?"
The Stripe Killer didn't want to be tortured, and he didn't dislike Kaos's straightforwardness.
"One year. If I can't awaken within a year, I will still let you go."
Kaos stretched out a finger, his movements powerful and confident.
"Keep your word!"
The Stripe Killer stared at Kaos, as if he could see through Kaos's heart.
"Do you have a choice?"
"Good!"
The Stripe Killer also knew his situation and really had no choice. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will seize it. Kaos would do the same!
"You're not going to untie me?"
Kaos just looked at the Stripe Killer without saying anything, but the barb in the golden chain disappeared. This made the Stripe Killer look sarcastic. He didn't know whether to be happy or cry when the other party was so wary.
"In fact, it's only been a few months since I awakened my Observation Haki. I've only just begun to master it."
"Just tell me what you know, what you feel, what you hear, what you feel when you wake up, and so on."
"All right!"
The Stripe Killer was contemptuous in his heart. How could the Observation Haki be awakened so easily? He had only awakened by chance when his life was in danger, and he was sure that this guy would not be able to awaken within a year.
"It was half a year ago when he awakened."
The Stripe Killer began to fall into memories, and this memory lasted for the entire afternoon. During this time, Kaos kept asking all kinds of strange questions, such as how fast the heart rate was, how fast the blood flowed, and whether the spirit was excited.
The variety of questions made the Stripe Killer frown all the time because this guy asked too many questions and was too long-winded.
He would ask about some insignificant things until he got to the bottom of them, almost asking him what color his poop was, what kind of underwear he wore in the past six months, and how many pairs he had changed!
Night falls and the bonfire burns!
Kaos hunted a few prey, roasted them and fed the Stripe Killer well; he couldn't be left hungry.
"Your baking is awful."
The Stripe Killer had a look of disgust on his face, and the wounds on his face were healing faster and faster every moment.
Kaos ignored it and just sat cross-legged in front of the campfire thinking.
"Boy, are you planning to keep me tied up like this for a year?"
"How about I chop off your limbs?"
Kaos came back to his senses from his thoughts, with an expression that said, "I'm willing to help you." "If you want, I can help you! Then I won't have to tie you up."
"forget it!"
The Stripe Killer snorted coldly. This guy is a ruthless person, we have to find another way to get out. Being tied up like this for a whole year is chilling to think about.
The bonfire crackled, dispelling the darkness and bringing warmth. After the Stripe Killer shut up, Kaos continued to frown and think.
According to the explanation given by Silvers Rayleigh when he was teaching Luffy, both Armament Haki and Observation Haki are potential powers possessed by all humans, and this power is an innate ability. It exists like an instinct.
However, most people are unable to realize this power, or they want to use it but are unable to do so in their entire lives. Everyone has this power, but what is lacking is how to sense that power and then guide it out.
Then use it. Observation Haki is different from Armament Haki. It can be said to be a spiritual extension, amplifying and extending the ability to perceive the external environment!
Just as Rayleigh said, the ability to strongly feel the opponent's voice is the power of Observation Haki.
Once this power is improved, one can read the position and number of enemies out of sight, as well as the actions that the opponent will take in the next moment.
It also has a lot to do with psychology. You need to be calm to ensure its use. You cannot use Observation Haki when you are emotionally excited or have lost your mind.
As for the functions of Observation Haki, there are too many of them. The most basic ones are sensing attacks, predicting the opponent's next move, sensing the strength of creatures, and sensing the position and number of objects outside the field of vision.
These are all the abilities of Observation Haki, and the range and intensity vary from person to person. The above functions are the most basic.
