Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Haki is a unique power in the world of One Piece, something one is born with. When a person manipulates intangible feelings such as aura, killing intent, and fighting spirit, willpower can be transformed into a weapon. This powerful force is known as Haki.

To put it simply, domineering is the manifestation of willpower.

It belongs to a type of spiritual power.

Whether it's Armament Haki, Observation Haki, or Conqueror's Haki, they all involve mobilizing willpower and transforming it into a tangible form.

Among them, Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki are particularly prominent.

Conqueror's Haki is a mysterious power that can influence the will of others.

A person with this kind of domineering aura can not only release a powerful deterrent force at any time, causing those around them to lose consciousness instantly, but also precisely control the range and target of the stunned, demonstrating extremely high control.

The ultimate domineering aura can sweep across all directions with incredible power, and can even influence celestial phenomena, turning domineering aura into substance and causing damage to matter in the real world.

As for Observation Haki, it is a type of perception and is directly related to mental strength.

Observation Haki has multiple functions: sensing attacks, predicting the opponent's next move, sensing the strength of living beings, sensing the emotions and thoughts of living beings, and sensing the position and number of objects outside the field of vision.

These are the basic abilities of Observation Haki, and their scope and strength vary from person to person.

At a very high level, one can even perceive the movement of the wind, foresee the future, directly alter the thoughts of others, and hear the voice of all things.

Its unique Observation Haki has an extremely exaggerated range of perception, reaching tens of kilometers.

The old lady has a special ability to see through objects with her Observation Haki; she once saw through objects in battle and observed everyone's expressions.

Matthew was unsure whether he could awaken the three types of Haki through his own training after merging with Big Mom's talent, or whether he would need to sign in through the system to create an ability that did not belong to this universe.

On this point, Matthew is more inclined to believe that he can develop all three types of Haki through self-training, because he vaguely senses that he can perceive the emotional changes of other people.

Intense emotions like anger, sadness, fear, and terror are not perceived through visual observation, but rather originate from a sense of perception.

This is one of the abilities of Observation Haki.

So Matthew wasn't in a hurry to go to the Xavier's School for teenagers to find the beast Hank. Instead, he left Paris and returned to the Black Mountain region of America to continue his training in the same place.

His main goals, besides strengthening his physique, were to study and research the three types of Haki.

Although Matthew knew about the existence and function of the three types of Haki, he still needed to study how to activate them.

After his daily workout, he would sit by the lake, concentrate on listening to the subtle sounds of his surroundings, and use meditation to clear his mind, train his perception, and improve his sensitivity to his environment.

Armament Haki is actually closely related to physical training. For example, extreme training can improve muscle strength and explosiveness, laying the physical foundation for Armament Haki.

By striking the body with external force, one gradually adapts to the pain and stimulates defensive instincts, preparing for localized armor-color hardening.

The Navy's Six Powers, to some extent, are preliminary physical techniques that stimulate Armament Haki and Observation Haki, such as Iron Body and Paper Drawing.

However, the Six Styles training requires extremely high physical talent.

The only thing that could possibly be created independently is "Shave," an ability that allows one to move at high speed by generating explosive reaction force through dozens of high-speed stompings on the ground within 0.36 seconds, as if teleporting.

In previous training sessions, he had tried to practice many times, but failed repeatedly due to his lack of physical strength.

Besides these, Matthew no longer did everything himself. Negri was indeed a capable helper. Whenever Matthew made a request, she would immediately hire a team to serve him.

He no longer needs to buy ingredients himself; the team will deliver fresh ingredients to him and prepare plenty of cooked food at five specific times, waiting for Matthew to drive over and enjoy it.

Moreover, the entire process is kept secret. After the team cooks and prepares the ingredients, they leave immediately and return an hour later to collect the tableware and other items.

The two sides had no chance to meet at all, and the team didn't even know who they were serving or how many people they were serving.

Of course, all members of this team have signed confidentiality agreements and are professional; they do not investigate the identities of their clients. They only need to complete their work and receive their pay.

There are quite a few clients with peculiar hobbies and who make strange requests. Compared to them, this request was just a bit more mysterious and involved cooking a larger portion of food.

With the time saved from buying ingredients and cooking, Matthew had a lot more time each day to spend on his cultivation.

Ample food and intense training accelerated his physical growth, while meditation also made him more sensitive to his surroundings.

It was at this moment that Matthew realized that after merging with Big Mom's talent, he did indeed possess the potential to unleash Haki, a power that did not belong to this world.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and as November approaches, the Montenegro region is gradually covered in a layer of white.

The sky was overcast, with thick, low-hanging clouds that seemed ready to unleash even more snowflakes at any moment.

A gentle breeze swept by, and tiny snowflakes drifted down like willow catkins, swirling and dancing in the air before gently settling on tree branches, rocks, and the vast forest.

Matthew stood majestically by the lake, his eyes closed, sensing the entire area, the movement of the breeze, and the trace of each tiny snowflake falling.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly...

boom!

From afar, a barely audible gunshot rang out. A bullet pierced the air, passing through snowflakes, and aimed directly at Matthew's forehead by the lake.

But Matthew kept his eyes closed and slightly turned his body, narrowly avoiding the bullet that was aimed at him.

Just as he dodged the bullet, a dense hail of bullets came hurtling in from all directions. Amid the barrage of bullets, Matthew kept his eyes closed and dodged the bullets methodically.

His dodges were always small, yet he always managed to avoid every incoming bullet with minimal effort.

Bullets hit the ground in the distance, or in a lake, splashing up mud and water.

Amidst the hail of bullets, Matthew danced a waltz like an elegant dancer, his steps light and fluid.

Three full minutes passed, and not a single bullet hit Matthew.

Until the faint gunshots ceased, Matthew finally finished his magnificent waltz.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the ground around him was riddled with bullet holes.
