Zoro was excited about the sword. Although he already had three swords, it didn't matter if he could have more, right?
Luffy was excited about the food. As a foodie, he didn't care about the swords or potion. All he cared about was the food.
Usopp was obviously excited about the Physical Potion.
Knowing just how much Kaya improved with that potion, he knew that he had to take it at all costs.
As for Kaya, Spirit Potion meant a lot.
Currently, her strength was second only to Luffy because of his Haki. If she could awaken Haki, she would definitely become the strongest on the ship.
But of course, her thoughts were clearly on Usopp. She hoped to get a Spirit Potion or Physical Potion to increase Usopp's strength.
He was the weakest person on the ship.
Nami was more inclined toward money.
As for Cathie, none of them were that important. She could still awaken her Haki and even gain others' abilities.
"Then, Usopp can take the Physical Potion, while Zoro should take the Spirit Potion. Once both of you use these, your strength will grow exponentially."
Zoro nodded. Although the sword was important, the Spirit Potion was even more important for him.
Especially considering only Luffy knew all three forms of Haki while Cathie only understood Observation Haki.
'Finally!'
Usopp couldn't help but get overexcited when he heard that. He knew having this potion meant he could finally keep up with Kaya.
As for strength, he hadn't thought about it.
Kaya had the Kami Kami No Mi Model Tenshi.
It was a mythical zoan fruit, and she had barely scratched the surface of that power.
Usopp knew he would need an extremely powerful Devil Fruit to bridge the gap.
Zoro took the Spirit Potion while Usopp used the Physical Potions. Both of them used these potions at the same time.
In an instant, Usopp felt the clothes around his body ripping apart. The immense energy in the physical potion began improving his body rapidly.
He started growing muscles. His height grew slightly as well. At the same time, a strange confidence rose in his heart.
Just by clenching his fist, Usopp could feel a newfound strength.
Of course, Zoro's reaction was even more intense.
The physical improvement that he had received from the physical potion gave him the opportunity to unlock Haki at once.
The Armament Haki started condensing over his skin while his five senses became extremely sharp, awakening a new kind of sense in his mind.
But what's even more astonishing was the emergence of a massive burst of Conqueror Haki.
The black and red lightning surged out like crazy.
Usopp felt an intense shock in his head, and so did Nami. But thanks to Luffy releasing his Conqueror Haki in time, Nami was safe.
As for Usopp, he passed out on the spot.
Kaya's situation would've been similar, but the extreme will of an Angel in her Devil Fruit forced her to stay away.
Even when her legs trembled slightly, she managed to stand straight.
Compared to them, Cathie's reaction was quite ordinary. She neither felt strained nor troublesome because of the release of Conqueror Haki.
Unlike Luffy, who also received ten years of Might Guy's training, Zoro only awakened his Haki.
So, after awakening it, there was no other outrageous reaction from him.
"So, this is Haki, huh?"
Zoro opened both of his eyes, and his right hand touched the hilt of his sword.
Suddenly, a dark aura burst out of his hand and started merging with the blade. In an instant, the sword was coated in black armor.
"I can feel it, but I need to test it. Captain, how about a spar?"
"Why not?"
Luffy excitedly clenched his fist.
"Luffy, don't destroy anything, okay?"
Nami pinched his cheeks while speaking to him.
"I know. I know."
Zoro subconsciously turned his head towards Cathie, but he quickly moved his head away.
"Ohh! Does my dear Zoro need some kind of instructions from his lover?"
Cathie put on a teasing tone as she grabbed him by the chin and asked.
"Humph! I am not an idiot like Luffy. Besides, I am not your lover."
Zoro slapped her hand away before walking out of the room.
"Hehehe! He is feeling embarrassed."
Cathie chuckled.
"Don't tease him! He is cold from outside and soft from inside."
Nami slapped Cathie on her butt and scolded her.
"Umm! Shouldn't we help Usopp?"
Kaya raised her soft voice.
Nami waved her hand and said.
"There is no need to care about him. That guy will wake up soon."
Saying so, she left the room.
Cathie clicked her tongue and said.
"Don't worry, Kaya! Conqueror Haki doesn't harm him, at least not at this level."
Kaya, hearing that, felt reassured, but she still lifted Usopp and placed him on a sofa before following Cathie out.
On the deck of their ship, Zoro and Luffy were exchanging blows with their arms and swords coated in Armament Haki.
"Cathie told me that stronger Haki can cut through weaker Haki. It's not about quality but quantity."
"Since you can't cut through mine, it means your Haki is either equal to or weaker than mine. But of course, that's not important."
"You should use this spar to feel the potency of Haki."
Luffy gave him some insights about Haki while blocking and dodging Zoro's swords. At the same time, he was landing quite a few hits.
This was quite shocking considering both had awakened Haki.
But Luffy had received Might Guy's training. His body had been honed to extreme limits in terms of Taijutsu.
More importantly, whenever he fought, he wouldn't fight like the original Luffy. Instead, he was merging the moves of his ten years of training and ten years of memories.
Luffy kicked the deck, jumping into the air where he spun while extending his leg rapidly. It wrapped around his body tightly.
But the moment he released his leg, his body spun once again, and his leg struck Zoro on the chest so hard that it made him cough blood on the spot.

"Gah!"
