Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Travel through the Sabaody Archipelago to Fish-Man Island, and then into the New World...

Planning is planning.

Things may change along the way.

However, going to the new world is the right thing to do. Now that he's in this world, it's impossible for Rocks not to go to the new world.

The new world is the most worthwhile place to take risks!

……

On the deck of the Black Demon.

"The ability to project Armament Haki is something I can do, but as I said before, I don't know how to instruct others."

Yixiao said to Lockes, "All we can do is try our best."

"That's enough. With a little guidance, I might be able to grasp the key points and solidify my foundation..."

Rocks himself has figured out the reason.

The problem lies in insufficient foundation and proficiency.

If you just smile and give him a little pointer, maybe he can successfully grasp the key.

Just like what I said to Kuina before.

Sometimes all that's needed is a reminder; having someone to guide you is different from practicing alone.

"A powerful, flowing expression isn't actually that difficult; simply put, it's about taking the entanglement a step further, creating a more concentrated expression!"

Yixiao briefly explained his understanding of the outward flow of Armament Haki: "The greater the 'quantity' of Haki, the more difficult it is to control..."

The principle behind mobile playback and entanglement is the same; the only difference is the amount of "powerful" content.

The more domineering the "quantity," the higher the requirement for control.

It's easy for those who know how, but difficult for those who don't.

There aren't many shortcuts to take; generally speaking, you'll naturally master it once you reach a certain point...

Lox nodded: "That's exactly what I thought..."

The external release of mobile data is a deeper and more profound concept, but it differs in its "quantity".

He had already realized this.

"Mr. Yixiao, could you please tell me why I'm unable to successfully release the mobile signal?"

Lockes added, "I feel like my foundation is insufficient, but you have more experience and may be able to see more reasons."

"Naturally."

"Then I'll give it a try first."

Lockes responded.

Then, he clenched his right fist, and with a 'hum,' his domineering aura gathered at the tip of his fist.

In an instant, his fist turned black, and Rocks began to try to flow his Armament Haki...

The Armament Haki surged and erupted for a moment, but quickly stopped, only covering the area around the fist.

Although there are some signs of flow and fluctuation, they cannot be released.

This attempt failed!

"Your Armament Haki has already taken shape, it just lacks the final step to be fully released."

He can't see anything when he laughs; he's blind.

Because he is blind, his mastery of Observation Haki is extremely high.

They could clearly perceive the changes in Armor Haki on Rocks' fists.

"Your own deduction is correct, but your foundation may be insufficient. Your control over this 'quantity' of Armament Haki is rather weak!"

"This problem is not difficult to solve."

Yixiao offered his opinion: "You just need to train purposefully and deepen your control over Armament Haki. Once you are proficient enough, it will naturally fall into your hands."

"If you're bad, practice more?" Locke said.

"Well, you can't say that."

He smiled sheepishly and said, "Your skill in Armament Haki is not weak, and its quantity is also extremely strong."

"Based on my judgment, you haven't been using Haki hardening for very long, have you?"

"It's only been a little over a month, right?"

Lox calculated the time.

He successfully mastered Armament Haki Hardening a few days after his battle with Garp.

It's only been a little over a month.

"More than a month? That's quite an astonishing progress..."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Yixiao's face.

In just over a month since you mastered the hardening of weapon color, have you already reached the edge of external flow?

Such talent... is indeed terrifying.

Although Armament Haki is present in the image, it is not a complete illusion.

However, it is truly rare to have mastered Armament Haki to such a degree in just a month or two.

How do we know this?

Remove the most basic entanglement.

Hardening and externalizing are considered relatively advanced terms.

The other party only mastered hardening a month ago, which means that before that they should only have been able to entangle.

Now, hardening has been mastered, and external release is just one step away.

This is the manifestation of talent!

"There was no other way; I was forced into it by others. I ran into Garp once and Zephyr once."

Lox smirked: "If I hadn't fought so hard, I'd probably be stuck inside the city by now. Battle is the best teacher; all the rapid progress comes at the cost of lives..."

Thinking about this Rocks makes me feel helpless.

I encountered a BOSS right after leaving the starting village. Who is this guy?

Fortunately, Lox had leveled up quite a bit in the starting village, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to escape from the BOSS...

"Garp? Zephyr?"

Upon hearing these two names, Yi Xiao couldn't help but smile awkwardly, saying with a forced laugh, "Your experience is truly... truly admirable..."

Battle is the best teacher, that's for sure.

However, when encountering a powerhouse of that caliber, this badger slowly...

The fact that he was able to escape successfully proves that Rocks is indeed very powerful.

The bounty of 450 million Berries is indeed disproportionate to the other party's offer...

"Mr. Yixiao, your ability must be related to gravity, right?"

Suddenly, Locke had a good idea: "Could we apply gravity to my body? If I cultivate under the influence of gravity, it might make my cultivation twice as effective."

The Saiyans in Dragon Ball used this method to train frequently, and it was very effective.

Rocks also wanted to follow suit...

Issho's Gravity Fruit does have this kind of use!

"Your perception is indeed keen. You guessed my ability after I only used it once?"

I smiled and marveled at Lox's keen insight.

He only demonstrated it once in front of the other person, and the other person had already guessed his ability.

No wonder he's someone who's fought against powerhouses like Garp and Zephyr.

He's definitely not an ordinary person...

Yi Xiao did not refuse Locke's suggestion: "Of course, I have used this method to temper my body before, and it does indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Would you like to begin now?"

"Of course, by the way, Mr. Yixiao, how many times can you increase gravity on a person?"

"How many times? I haven't paid attention to that, and I can't calculate it with numbers..."

"Is that so? Then let's add it little by little. I'll use my body to feel the most suitable gravity, is that okay?"

"no problem."

After saying that, he smiled and reached out with his right hand. With a thought,

With a 'whoosh', an invisible force of gravity acted upon Rocks...

Feeling the heavy pressure on his body, Lockes shifted slightly: "It's a really strange feeling. My body is being forced downwards. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be kneeling down..."

This pressure is different from carrying a heavy load on your back; it comes from all directions, like a "squeeze".

This gravity can be felt both inside and outside the body.

The heartbeat and blood flow become slower than usual due to gravity.

After shifting his body, Locke felt he could still manage, so he said, "We can double it, Mr. Laugh."

"Then be careful, Your Excellency."

Seeing how relaxed Rocks was, Yi Xiao didn't hesitate and pressed down with his outstretched hand again.

With a 'buzz' sound.

A stronger gravity fell on Lox, and the sound of bones creaking and grinding came from all parts of his body.

The deck, made of Adam Wood, also has a slight indentation centered on Rocks' body.

"Alright, that's fine, Mr. Yixiao."

Feeling the pressure on his body, Locke also found it difficult to move. He said, "Let me adjust first. Could you please hold on for a while longer, Mr. Yixiao?"

Judging from Yixiao's nonchalant actions, it was clearly just a casual move to the other party.

Given the opponent's all-out attack, he wouldn't be instantly killed, but he probably wouldn't fare well either.

At least for now, Rocks doesn't think he can outmaneuver Yixiao.

It's difficult to even run away.

The Gravity Fruit is quite effective at controlling speed, and it also inhibits people who can walk on air...

Yi Xiao's lips twitched slightly: "...Okay."

What else can we do?

Since you've already agreed, then let's do them this favor.

It didn't take much effort; for a powerhouse of his caliber, the exertion was minimal.

'Such a powerful physique, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? No… far stronger than ordinary Zoan-type users…'

However, seeing that Rocks could move freely even under his gravity field, Yi Xiao once again marveled at how monstrous the other was.

This level of physical strength is clearly abnormal.

It was even stronger than many of the animal-type ability users he had encountered when they used their abilities.

This raised many questions in his mind...

……

With the help of gravity, Rocks trained for two hours.

Rocks's powerful physique allowed him to fully adapt to the gravity.

When the gravity lifted, Rocks felt very light, and he could even use his Armament Haki more freely.
