Marineford in Sharingan, Uchiha Admiral

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and metallic scent, swept over us, while the towering white towers gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

The wide, crescent-shaped harbor is anchored by warships that resemble giant beasts. The orderly ranks of naval soldiers have firm eyes, and their gazes have a fearsome light as reflected from the cannon barrels.

The seagull flag fluttered in the wind, and the word "Navy" written in large letters on the tower looked like an emblem that suppressed the sea.

The pervasive pressure in the air serves as a constant reminder to people...

This is the center of justice, the bulwark of the world!

……

Upon actually setting foot here, even Lucci couldn't help but slow his pace, his gaze instinctively avoiding the white tower.

That kind of justice was too vast and too heavy, making it hard for him to breathe.

……

He could hear shouts, gunshots, and the clash of swords coming from the training on the deck not far away.

As the officers and soldiers, clad in the coat of justice, walked by, their steps steady and each pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's, I saw them.

No wonder...

The adults are so wary of the navy; this force is terrifying!

……

"What are you thinking about? You're my inspector, aren't you? How can you keep spacing out?"

Allen's voice pulled him back to reality, and Lucci quickened his pace to catch up.

She leaned close to Allen and whispered, "This place is worlds apart from any other kingdom fortress I've ever seen... Allen, aren't you amazed?"

The CP department is a clandestine organization. He received top-notch scientific training from a young age, but the training facilities there are incomparable to those at Marineford.

How could I not be surprised when I first saw such a massive complex of buildings?

……

Allen looked up at the white tower and smiled slightly: "The navy's power over the seas doesn't come from massive buildings, but from people."

"Perhaps I'll be surprised when I meet one of the world's top experts."

Allen had met Kizaru before; the first time was when Kizaru abandoned his pursuit of Shanks and chose to rescue Allen.

At that time, Kizaru was still a vice admiral, and most importantly...

Even knowing he's strong, it's hard to feel any pressure from him unless you consider him an enemy.

The second time we met was when I, as a "hunter," took a hit from the Yasakani no Magatama...

The overwhelming, inescapable terror attacks made him deeply aware of the enormous gap in power.

This difference was even more pronounced when facing red hair.

Regardless of what happens ten years from now, Allen is certain of one thing: Shanks is no match for Kizaru now.

Kizaru, who is 46 years old now, is in his prime!

……

The puppet only has six chances to be repaired, and Allen was willing to use up one of his precious chances to leave the World Government with a piece of information about the Lunaria race.

More importantly, he wanted to see the gap between himself and the top experts.

It's a pity...

This difference is so great that even the Sharingan's eye power cannot perceive it.

……

In the ninja world, the Uchiha clan with three tomoe are considered equal to elite Jonin, while the highest combat power in the regular genin world is at the Kage level.

From any perspective, the highest-ranking combat force in the ninja world, the "Kage," cannot compare to the highest-ranking combat force in the Navy, the Admirals.

Of course, Hashirama Senju and Naruto in his later years are definitely not considered regular Kage level.

Allen dislikes comparing combat strength across worlds, but being in the midst of it, he has no choice but to make comparisons.

Based on his experience and intelligence, he judged that his strength should be at the level of a rear admiral in the Navy, and it was unlikely that he could defeat a vice admiral who was proficient in both types of Haki.

That's hard power. If we're talking about the ability to escape...

As an avatar, Hunti has a record of escaping from the hands of a general!

Another important function of the shape-shifting puppet is, as Kizaru mentioned, a spatial teleportation ability.

With a single thought, Allen could escape the battlefield and teleport to a pre-set location.

However, teleportation has a prerequisite: it can only be used after the damage has been completely repaired. This involves knowledge of atomic-level reconstruction, which Allen doesn't understand, but he knows that's how it works.

……

Allen looked down and saw a vice admiral on a passing ship.

The lieutenant general immediately responded to his gaze, nodded in acknowledgment, and walked past him.

A keen awareness of sight is a manifestation of Observation Haki.

Dominance is a power that all humans are born with—an aura, a murderous intent, a fighting spirit…

Manipulating these unseen senses and turning willpower into weapons, this power is known as domineering aura.

Most people never realize or unleash this power in their lifetime.

There are three types of Haki: Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.

Observation Haki is the power to sense the aura of an opponent, and is particularly sensitive to killing intent, enabling effective prevention and evasion of attacks.

Top-tier Observation Haki can even predict the future, understand people's hearts, and modify their thoughts and consciousness; this level of Observation Haki is extremely rare.

……

Armament Haki, as the name suggests, is the use of willpower to create armor, greatly enhancing attack and defense capabilities; its strength varies from person to person.

The most famous user of Armament Haki is probably the naval hero Garp.

He once honed his Haki by shattering a mountain and flattened the cone-shaped head of the legendary pirate Chinjao with a single punch, earning him the nickname "Iron Fist Garp".

Armament Haki can ignore the defenses of Logia-type Devil Fruit users; without it, one wouldn't even qualify to enter the top-tier battlefield.

……

The third type, and the rarest, is the kind of domineering aura.

Conqueror's Haki.

He can frighten his enemies with his sheer charisma, possessing the qualities of a king among millions.

It's rare to see Conqueror's Haki users anywhere in the world; they're mostly concentrated in the fiercely competitive latter half of the Grand Line.

Those who possess and can develop and utilize this dominant color must be ambitious and unwilling to settle for mediocrity and comfort.

……

Allen possesses Observation Haki; to be precise, the Sharingan's perceptive abilities can be categorized as a type of Observation Haki.

But he still had no clue about Armament Haki.

Smoker had attended the general officer training camp, but his bad temper prevented him from being promoted to general after the training.

He taught Allen Armament Haki, but he forgot the theoretical knowledge, only remembering a little bit.

In short...

This is a skill that can be learned by simply taking enough real beatings.

The same principle applies to sight and hearing.

The best way to train both types of Haki is to be constantly beaten by an overwhelmingly powerful opponent who is proficient in Armament Haki, and in a perilous environment.

This is the optimal solution that has evolved over time.

……

Allen did not have the qualifications to learn Armament Haki.

Relying on his Devil Fruit powers and his own bloodline limit, he had few worthy opponents in the 179th branch.

Smoker...

This guy's own Armament Haki is only half-baked; he's nowhere near the level of an "overwhelmingly powerful Armament Haki master."

Everyone has different talents.

What Allen and Dol said at the time was not entirely an excuse they made up to be lazy.

Ordinary physical training has very little effect on Allen.

Some people can build up intensity through training, while others need to fight on the brink of death to improve.

Allen was that kind of person.

Each improvement in his strength was accompanied by brutal battles, facing life and death head-on.

……

The battle in which he awakened the three tomoe was when he and Smoker led a squad of marines to hunt down the pirates who had massacred the town's residents.

The pirates were very strong, and the marines kept dying. Allen was also severely injured by the pirates.

When the pirate sniper aimed at him, he noticed, but he was too weak to dodge.

It's Smoker.

He shielded Allen from a bullet that was meant to kill him with his body. Even though he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and that kind of attack couldn't possibly hurt him...

Finally, Allen, who had awakened his three tomoe, killed all the remaining pirates and carried the heavily injured and unconscious Smoker back to base.

……

Armament Haki...

Allen had a premonition that this was the place where he would gain this power.

The karmic entanglement between this place and myself is incredibly profound.

As they passed the harbor, a flash of red light appeared between their low-hanging black hair.

Marineford...
