One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 658 Lily's Teachings

"As the saying goes, martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I understand your situation. Although you are not suitable for large-scale training, if you hope to have the opportunity to go to sea in the future, then you can't let your body fall behind during your recovery. What I'm handing you now is the spear that will keep your boat fixed in the water. It will allow you to recover and even if your body can't do strenuous activities."

The next morning, Lily stood in front of Banchina and said.

"A way to maintain health?"

After hearing Lily's words, Banchina thought of this at the first time. In fact, she had heard of this kind of health-preserving gymnastics. She could always see various advertisements on the last page of the newspaper, including the so-called health-preserving gymnastics. As for the effect... considering her current condition, it should be of no use.

"Almost the same, but there are some differences. You know how to use domineering power, so you can learn. If you don't know how to use domineering power, I can't teach you. In simple terms, it's just an internal cycle driven by domineering power."

Lily didn't say anything profound. She just gave a few simple explanations and then started to demonstrate on the spot. Lily's hands turned black at the same time. That was the appearance after being covered with Armament Haki. Then, under the curious gazes of Banchina and others, the Armament Haki covering Lily's arms began to move, and climbed up along Lily's arms like a living thing. In order to allow others to see the specific situation more intuitively, Lily covered herself with Armament Haki together with her outer clothes. In this way, the Armament Haki ran from her arms to her chest, from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, with a magical rhythm. The rhythm was so magical that for a moment, it fascinated everyone present.

"Okay, remember?"

After repeating it three times, Lily stopped and said to Banchina.

"Ah? Oh, I almost remember it."

Banchina, who was still immersed in the rhythm just now, suddenly came back to her senses, nodded hurriedly and said.

"Well, then you practice it for me. I won't tell you the tricks yet, just point them out with your hands."

Looking at Bankina's expression, Lily knew that Bankina was only paying attention to the rhythm and not the order of using the armament color. Although this is a common situation for people who are learning this move for the first time, Lily is still a little angry that Bankina is not learning seriously despite her current situation.

"Well, hands, arms, chest, and then head. No, it's the abdomen. No, it's the head. But where does it start?"

At this moment, Banchina was like the student number six in class who was called by the teacher to answer a question. She was frantically pointing at herself.

"Alright, alright, stop. I'll tell you twice more. Listen carefully. I'll cover it up a little slower this time. You should learn to memorize the movements first. As for the rhythm, I'll teach you little by little later. You'll definitely be able to learn it in a month. Don't worry, take your time."

In order to avoid overly shocking Banchina at the beginning, Lily softened a little at the end and gave Banchina a way out.

"Yes, I will try my best. In fact, I was a little fascinated by what I saw just now. I felt that the armament color seemed to make a sound when it moved just now?"

Banchina nodded, knowing that she was wrong, but also speaking with some curiosity.

"That's not your illusion. There was indeed a sound just now, but it's not a sound that ordinary people can hear. It's a sound that can only be heard through observation Haki. In fact, the set of actions just now was not completed only through Armament Haki. It can't be done to this extent with Armament Haki alone. In fact, the set of actions just now also involved Observation Haki during the execution process. It's just that I didn't expect you to be able to hear it. It seems that your Observation Haki is quite good."

Lily nodded with satisfaction. Almost everyone who learns this move for the first time will be confused by the rhythm, but no matter how confused they are, if one does not have some talent for Observation Haki, they really cannot hear the sound made by the Observation Haki. This sound is not physical, but spiritual.

"Uh, it's okay. I'm not very good at Armament Haki. I'm better at Observation Haki. In fact, I'm a little worried that this move requires control of Armament Haki, and I may not be able to learn it."

Banchina scratched her head and said.

"It's okay. I will train your Armament Haki during this time. This move looks difficult, but in fact, it does not require much Armament Haki or Observation Haki. A month is enough."

Lily saw that Banchina was actually feeling a little guilty, probably because of her problem just now, so she tried to comfort her. "Aunt Lily! Your trick is amazing! Can I learn from you?"

Garrett couldn't wait to speak at this moment.

"Of course you can. Your mother and your brothers and sisters all know this move. I taught Lingling this move. Newgate, Shiqi and the others all know it. Anyway, it's not a secret technique. If you want to learn it, just learn it. But do you know how to be domineering?"

Lily asked, looking at Garrett and smiling.

"Uh... no."

Only then did Garette react. It seemed that she did not have the prerequisites to learn this move. She did not know Haki at all. Whether it was Observation Haki or Armament Haki, she was only nine out of ten - she knew nothing. If she were asked to say that there was no problem, after all, she had lived in Wano Country since she was a child and knew all about these. But if you asked her to do it, then sorry, zero points.

"It's okay. Yamato and the others also need to learn. You can practice with them. However, considering your current physical condition, Armament Haki may be difficult. Observation Haki should be easier."

Lily said with a smile.

"Yes! I will work hard!"

Garrett responded immediately and loudly.

"Mom! Can we learn Haki now?"

Compared to Garette, Yamato was more surprised. She was wondering what she was going to do today, but she got such a big surprise. The thing she had always wanted to learn was unexpectedly approved so suddenly. She thought she really had to wait until adulthood to learn it.

"Yes, your physical fitness has reached the standard, including the youngest Hiyori. I was originally planning to wait until you were two years older, but now it seems that the animal-type fruit has allowed your physical fitness to surpass the normal level of your age. Now learning Haki will no longer be a burden to you, so I discussed with Cardo and decided that you can learn Haki."

Lily nodded and said.

"Yay! We can learn Haki! Hiyori! We're one step closer to going out to sea on our own!"

Yamato excitedly hugged Hiyori beside him and said excitedly.

"Okay, don't get too excited too soon. Learning Haki is not that easy. Are you ready to enter hell?"

Lily looked at the excited children and said with a horrified expression.

"No problem! I'm ready!"

Yamato patted his chest confidently. Although he couldn't compare with Lily, he looked good. The others behind Yamato were also ready to go. Even Robin was no exception. Although Robin was still a civilized person, no one said that civilized people couldn't have a desire for strength? What's more, her dream was to interpret the entire historical text. If she wanted to study something that was banned by the world government, she would definitely not be able to do it without sufficient strength. Especially after experiencing the various events in the Hundred Beasts, Robin understood the importance of strength even more.

Haven't you seen that the Four Emperors have actual control over the New World? However, due to their own powerful strength, the World Government did not say anything in the end and allowed the Four Emperors to dominate the New World. Even when hundreds of birds bloomed on their faces, they did not say a word. All of this is supported by strength. In this world, if you have strength, you have everything, but without strength, even if you have a thousand reasons, it will be of no use, because no one will listen to the wailing of ants.
