Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 25 Genius and Monster (Part 2)

"state!"

"hiss--"

While Ouba's head kept refreshing the "Merit +1", La, the eldest sister, quietly closed her eyes, as if she had entered a state of meditation.

[As expected, observing the world from an energy perspective is much clearer and more thorough than simply using the five senses.]
Sitting quietly, La has unknowingly covered the entire small island with her perception. She is trying to observe the world from the perspective of energy.

In La's current 'vision', the energy emitted by all living and non-living things is like colored lights of different colors; the size, shape, outline, and intensity are all clearly visible.

"The one with the highest strength... Hmm, it's Captain Kaido after all. But he's a little different from the others. This color... He seems to have a different kind of energy within him than the others. Could it be that domineering Haki that Burfat mentioned?"
[You can ask when you have time.]
She naturally tilted her head while thinking, and then Jhin's scabbard fell down a little slowly, as if Jhin had deliberately hit the air.

"?!"

Jhin was a little surprised by La's action, which was obviously one step faster than her. Theoretically, even if she could dodge it, she should have done so after Jhin made an attacking move.

[This blonde brat dodged before I could even make a move! Did she know I was going to attack her?]
In order to verify his guess, Jin tried to attack unexpectedly several times, but sure enough, every time he did it, he managed to dodge before he could act.

Then Jhin tried another feint, pretending to attack, but the scabbard stopped above her head at the last moment.

And this time, La didn't dodge at all from beginning to end!

You have to know that this time, King suddenly decided to stop just before he fell. Anyone who can use Observation Haki would not be able to react at this distance.

[He really can predict the future. This kid is only about ten years old! What a monster!]
La's performance was about to puncture Jin's common sense, making him wonder if the other party had some racial talent to predict the future.

Mr. Kaido said before that the one with golden hair was the most special of the three. I thought it would be difficult to teach her. Now it seems that what he said was true.
While Jin was still immersed in the trance of having his common sense pulled away, La had already regained consciousness from the perception of the entire island and then removed the black cloth covering his eyes.

"Mr. Jin, I think I have mastered the basics of Observation Haki. Can you show me Armament Haki?"

That's right, just now, La only used a small part of his attention that was focused on Jhin to predict Jhin's movements.

"Just call me Jhin."

Jhin was brought back to reality by La's ethereal voice, but he seemed a little uncomfortable with La's polite address.

After realizing that the other party's observation Haki was superior to his own, Jin didn't say much.

He just asked Ober to go to Burfat to continue training with Osi, while he himself displayed his armed color domineering in front of Ra.

The familiar energy clung to Jin's arm and wrapped around the scabbard.

"This is Armament Haki, which can greatly increase the user's attack and defense power. It can also be attached to weapons like this." Jin introduced.

And in La's perception, a black energy just burst out from Jin's body, and then gathered on his arms and scabbard.

She reached out to touch the scabbard, and the dark energy became clearer as her fingers touched it.

[It's a strange power. These Armament Haki seem to have the ability to block external energy.]
This reminded her of her previous battle with Kaido. At the beginning, her flames could easily melt the opponent's mace.

But after Kaido used the Armament Haki to wrap it, the high temperature could no longer have an effect on it.

La wrapped up these energies with his own divine power, and then tried to separate a little bit of Armament Haki.

She carried out this process very slowly. The Armament Haki on the scabbard was wrapped very tightly, and it required very precise energy control to peel it off.

It's like trying to tear a flyer off a door with a pair of greased rubber gloves.

……

[Hmm...it worked.]
It was about ten minutes later that La finally withdrew his hand.

At the same time, Jin noticed that the armament color attached to his scabbard suddenly disappeared a little. It was not consumed but it really disappeared.

He looked at La in surprise and found that she was looking at the palm of her hand as if there was something there.

[Is it a fusion of life energy and a strange energy...]
The trace of domineering aura wrapped in divine power gradually disintegrated in La's palm, and its essence was clearly revealed in front of La.

[But I don't seem to have this special energy in my body. Is it because of my race? Or is this energy unique to people in this world?]
When it came to this otherworldly energy, the first thing that came to mind was the famous 'chakra'. Things had hit a snag, but it wasn't a problem for him right now.

[Let's try to see if I can imitate it with my divine power first.]
The body moves according to the mind. As La thought this, he immediately began to adjust the nature of his divine power to move closer to that strange energy.

It has to be said that the energy from the gods is extremely plastic and can simulate the properties of almost any other energy as one wishes.

This phantom power, which can be called the "Ditto in the energy world", is actually a distortion of reality and a modification of the rules.

However, due to the influence of the divine nature, this energy with infinite possibilities often manifests itself in a single form in the outside world.

However, this singleness allows the divine power, when materialized as authority, to reach an energy level far higher than that of ordinary divine power.

To put it simply, the divine nature is like an amplifying converter, which converts the divine power into the most suitable form when it is released.

For example, the fire of Ra and the thunder of Osiris, this is the essence of the so-called external power of God.

And now La has found a second form of releasing divine power, which is Armament Haki.

With a thought, he combined the simulated divine power with life energy, and a golden armed color domineering with flame patterns appeared on La's arm.

And unlike ordinary Armament Haki, Ra's Armament Haki is directly visible to the naked eye and does not require observation through Observation Haki.

"This, this is golden Haki?! How is it possible? Isn't Haki always black?! But this feeling is undoubtedly Haki..."

Jin found it hard to understand what kind of existence this little girl in front of him was. She learned Haki from scratch in just ten minutes, without anyone teaching her.

This was far beyond the realm of genius; she was a true freak! The common sense of this world seemed to be completely inapplicable to her.

"Well, this is indeed domineering. The reason why it is different from ordinary people is probably because our race is somewhat special."

"Thank you for your patience, Jin. As for Ossi and Ouba's Armament Haki teaching, leave it to me. Normal training methods may not be suitable for them."

La bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Jin. After all, he had just remained motionless and maintained the armed color domineering entanglement for a full ten minutes for La to observe, without urging him at all during that time.

Jin was secretly criticizing himself for not teaching him anything, as he thought, "You learned it by yourself after just ten minutes of practice."

"Since you've already learned it, I'll go teach that little blue devil first. You can move freely."

"Well, I just happened to want to go to Captain Kaido to learn about Conqueror's Haki. I'll excuse myself now. I'll trouble you two, my sisters."

"Eh? Sister La, you're leaving now? Have you mastered the domineering power so quickly?" Osi and Oubei, who were still being beaten, looked at La's leaving back, like two little raccoons abandoned by their mother, with helplessness in their eyes.

"You must learn well from the two teachers. I have something to do with Captain Kaido. I will probably be back by dinner time."

La turned around and smiled, waving gently to Osi and Obei, like a young mother saying goodbye to her children at kindergarten every morning.

"Hey, what kind of monster is that little girl? Could she really be some kind of god-like being like that blue-haired kid said?"

Burfat had clearly noticed the process of La awakening his Armament Haki, and that brilliant, sacred, flame-gold Haki also shattered his common sense.

"Perhaps. After all, anything could exist in this ocean. And even the real [Gods] probably aren't that powerful in reality... Okay, keep teaching."

Jin seemed unwilling to discuss this topic any further, so Burfat tactfully stopped talking.

"Alright! Since your elder sister is already a master, you two can be sisters too! Get up and keep dodging my attacks!"

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~"

"Damn it!" "Gah! My teeth hurt!"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Just focus!"

"Don't run away, little red-haired devil! Come back here!"
