Auxiliary chapter 1
Power scale.
In this world, Science has been able to see and study all the types of energy in the universe, except for one.
On the sensors it does not appear, it just leaves a black gap in what is observerble to them, they know that there should something there, they just can't tell what, leading them to dub it dark energy.
Ancient monks called this energy the lifeforce of the universe, they figured out how to tap into that Untouched well of power through the use of their minds and will, to do the impossible,
It takes a special type of mind to tap into dark energy and unlock one of its many uses, and even fewer can unlock more than one. 1 in trillions can manage to archive all three, they are dubbed the children of the universe, ones that she gave the right to rule.
Here is how the three forms of Haki from one piece function when fused with my Dark Energy theory:
1. Observation Haki (Kenbunshoku): "Dark Energy Resonance"
In a world of cloaking devices and FTL sensors, Observation Haki is the ultimate biological radar.
The Theory: Every living soul and active engine emits a "ripple" in the surrounding Dark Energy field.
The Application: Those sensitive to this energy can perceive these ripples. It allows fighters, pilots and gunman to see father and clearer than their natural eyes can allow, some of the best can see better than most advanced sensors, and increase the field of vision to 360°
Advanced Form (Future Sight): The user's brain processes Dark Energy fluctuations so fast they perceive the most likely "quantum collapse" of the immediate future, seeing events seconds before they occur.
2. Armament Haki (Busoshoku): "Dark Energy Infusion"
This is the most critical skill for a space mercenary. It explains how some pirates, mercenaries or solders can survive in the vacuum of space or punch through starship plating.
The Theory: The user pulls the surrounding Dark Energy into their cellular structure or the molecular lattice of their weapon, the better they are at it the more they dark energy they can pull, and the stronger their bodies the more it can handle.
The Application (Space Survival): By coating their skin in a dense layer of Dark Energy, they create a "Bio-Static Envelope." This protects the body from cosmic radiation, extreme pressure changes, and the absolute cold of the void.
The Application (Combat): It turns a limb or a sword into an "Indestructible Solid." allowing one to deflect the high-speed laser fire or various kinds of weapons.
3. Conqueror's Haki (Haoshoku): "Dark Energy Dominance"
This remains the rarest form, possessed only by those with the "right to rule, the King's of the Universe"
The Theory: Instead of just perceiving or drawing in energy, the user acts as a Singularity. They exert their own mental frequency onto the universal Dark Energy field, "bending" it to their will.
The Application (Pressure): When one releases this, he can creates a localized gravitational or psychic "crush." Weak-willed individuals (whose own internal energy is unstable) have their neural pathways temporarily short-circuited, causing them to collapse.
The Application (Rulers authority): elite users can rule the universe meaning space doesn't want to hurt them but to nurture them, their bodies can survive in the vaccum without protection or Armament Haki even survive black holes, they can use space to move objects or themselves (just like telekinesis), a few even have telepotation, others can force the minds of others to bare themselves bare (mind reading), Void beast listen to their commands.
The Application (Infusion): The most elite warriors can "coat" their attacks in this dominating energy. This causes "Black Lightning" discharges—raw Dark Energy tearing through the fabric of space-time itself, bypasses even the strongest military-grade energy shields, it can snuff out stars, destroy planets, black holes and eliminate gravity in an area for a bit.
While Haki is the perception and infusion and dominance of Dark Energy, the Six Powers are the physical execution of that energy through specialized body movements that were developed by one of the Empire's past generals while could use the first two types of Haki he developed them for his troops to be have something that could help in their fights with people who had Haki and standardized it for the Grakkan Empire's elite soldiers, through time desserters and spies have sold these arts to the rest of the countries in the universe, so they are now used by elite soldiers all over the universe.
1. Soru (Shave): "Quantum Step"
The Science: The user delivers ten ultra-high-speed kicks to the floor in a fraction of a millisecond. In this world, this creates a localized "gravity slip" by momentarily over-compressing the Dark Energy beneath their feet.
The Effect: The user moves so fast they appear to teleport.
2. Geppo (Moonwalk): "Atmospheric Anchor"
The Science: The user kicks the air so hard it creates a temporary solid "cushion" of compressed Dark Energy.
The Effect: This allows soldier's to "walk" in the air or maneuver in zero-G without jetpacks. It is essential for boarding actions between starships without a connecting anchor.
3. Tekkai (Iron Body): "Molecular Hardening"
The Science: The user rapidly vibrates their muscles and therefore the muscles draw in dark energy to lock their molecular structure into a rigid lattice, PS the muscles pull in the energy, it's not the owner who pulls it as he can't perssive it, for him he just knows if he vibrates his muscles thy will just strengthen.
The Effect: Their body becomes as hard as starship-grade reinforced hull plating. It can nullify kinetic rounds, though it often leaves the user unable to move while active, he can also survive in space while it's active, soiders usually do this when they abandon ship, and wait there for rescue.
4. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick): "Plasma Blade Projection"
The Science: A high-speed kick that creates a compressed vacuum blade. the sheer speed of the leg through the air—enhanced by Dark Energy—ionizes the atmosphere, turning the "air blade" into a localized arc of plasma.
The Effect: A ranged cutting attack that can slice through bulkheads and heavy armor from a distance.
5. Shigan (Finger Pistol): "Point-Blank Piercing"
The Science: The user focuses their entire kinetic momentum into a single finger.
The Effect: It has the piercing power of a high-caliber railgun shot. It's a silent, deadly alternative to blasters for Imperial assassins (Cipher Pol units) during covert ops on space stations, or in times one loses a fire arm.
6. Kami-e (Paper Art): "Fluid Dynamics Evasion"
The Science: The user relaxes their body completely, allowing them to sense the "wind" (or Dark Energy displacement) caused by an incoming attack, works as a substitute for Observation Haki.
The Effect: Their body moves like a sheet of paper caught in an air current, automatically drifting out of the path of high-speed projectiles or laser fire.
7. Secret Seventh Technique: Rokuogan
Rokuogan (Six King Gun): "Dark Energy Shockwave"
The Science: Only accessible to those who have mastered the other six protocols. It involves placing both fists against a target and releasing a massive, focused burst of raw Dark Energy.
The Effect: This bypasses external armor entirely, sending a destructive vibration directly into the internal components of a machine or the organs of a human, much like an Impact Dial.
