One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

The loud voice echoed throughout the entire harbor.

Countless naval soldiers stood frozen in place, staring in astonishment at Admiral Zephyr in the center.

These soldiers don't possess Conqueror's Haki like Sengoku Garp, nor do they have Zephyr's sensitive reaction to Haki.

Most people don't even know what happened.

Only a very small number of soldiers with keen senses detected that chilling aura.

Seeing the large and imposing naval elites approaching, Kitahara Tsune seemed to be just like the other naval personnel at the port, momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until General Zephyr's roar that they were all pulled back to reality.

Zefa didn't care about anything else; he was really itching to get his hands dirty.

Since he had the idea of ​​leaving the Navy, he has been confined to the Navy Headquarters and has been unable to go out except for a very few missions.

Let alone taking action.

At that moment, a soldier raised his hand tremblingly and asked, "General Zephyr, what exactly happened just now?"

Upon hearing this, Zefa's face showed some impatience, and he had no intention of explaining.

At this opportune moment, Lieutenant General Tsuru, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and patiently addressed the soldiers.

"Did you sense something unsettling just now?"

"Or do you suddenly feel your legs go weak?"

Upon hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, many naval personnel began whispering among themselves.

At first, the voices were relatively restrained, but as more and more people empathized, the voices became noisy.

At that moment, a man dressed as a brigadier general stepped out from the crowd.

Garp, who was eating senbei behind Zephyr, noticed Kitahara Tsune and stared intently at him.

If I remember correctly, I've met this guy before; he was seconded to the Navy from the CP department a few months ago.

His name seems to be Kitahara Tsuneo.

Kitahara Tsune was transferred here as a brigadier general, and his style of doing things was very much to Garp's liking. So Garp had a pretty deep impression of him.

Could it be that……

Thinking of this, Garp pushed Zephyr aside, walked to the front, and asked Kitahara Tsuneo.

"I remember your name is Kitahara Tsuneo, right? Do you know what happened just now?"

A hint of doubt and guilt appeared on Kitahara Tsune's face.

He bowed slightly, his tone sincere: "Yes, Lieutenant General Garp."

"While I was practicing on the ship just now, I suddenly felt something awaken within me."

"I had no control over it at the time, and I released it subconsciously."

"Unexpectedly, most of the people on that warship fainted for some unknown reason."

"I don't know if General Zephyr's presence here is related to this matter."

"But just to be on the safe side, it's better to say it out loud."

Upon hearing this, Garp immediately became interested.

He said, "Tell me more about it in detail."

Kitahara Tsune organized his thoughts and said in ambiguous terms:

"It was probably during the few months I was on the mission that I felt unusually excited every day, and I even had trouble sleeping at night."

"Sometimes when we're on a mission to capture pirates, I don't even have to lift a finger; the pirates just faint for some reason."

"I can't control this force, but it could appear at any moment."

"Until just now, after that power was fully released, I was able to gain a basic grasp of it and control when it was released."

After saying that, a hint of unease and worry flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Vice Admiral Garp, is there something wrong with my body? Or has my training gone wrong?"

Zephyr's two apprentices, Ain and Binz, listened with puzzled expressions and fell into deep thought.

What kind of symptoms are these? Isn't this a good thing? Isn't it a positive thing?

Zephyr, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru all had their eyes light up.

Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke with certainty, saying, "Conqueror's Haki."

"Commander Kitahara Tsuneo, your current descriptions likely indicate that you have begun to awaken Conqueror's Haki."

"Conqueror's Haki?" Kitahara Tsune showed appropriate doubt and curiosity. "I've only heard of Armament Haki and Observation Haki."

"Conqueror's Haki? What's that?"

Seeing this, Lieutenant General He also explained to the soldiers who looked puzzled and bewildered, saying:

"Unlike Armament Haki and Observation Haki, Conqueror's Haki cannot be mastered through training."

"It is a special kind of domineering aura that only a very few people can awaken from birth."

"A person with Conqueror's Haki can scare the enemy into unconsciousness with just their aura."

However, what Vice Admiral Tsuru didn't mention is that Conqueror's Haki also symbolizes the potential to become a king.

This is not something that can be said to ordinary naval personnel.

"Kitahara Tsuneo?"

Zefa then realized that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

After thinking for a while, he remembered.

"Kizaru once told me your name."

"He said you're a pretty interesting kid, and even recommended me to take you on as my disciple."

"That guy isn't really my type, but he has surprisingly good taste."

Seeing that the person who had awakened Conqueror's Haki was from the Navy, Zephyr naturally lowered his hostility. A slight smile even appeared on his fierce face.

Although that smile looked terrifying.

Although his three general candidates are all incredibly strong and can be considered monsters, he has yet to accept a disciple who possesses Conqueror's Haki and the potential to become a king.

Maybe I can brag about it to those old guys someday.

Thinking of this, he looked at Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru beside him.

He had already begun to plan how to train Kitahara Tsuneo to become the strongest Navy Supernova.

"Is this Conqueror's Haki? So that's what it is."

Kitahara Tsune's face showed a relieved and understanding expression. He gave the naval officers a standard military salute. "Thank you for your explanation, Vice Admiral Tsuru. I no longer need to worry."

As he spoke, he made a move to retreat back into the crowd.

However, he was soon stopped by Zefa.

"Kitahara Tsuneo, you're back for an important meeting, right?"

Zefa spoke up.

Kitahara Tsune replied, "Yes, General Zephyr."

"Then let's go, I'll take you there. Kizaru has already told me, you should know what's going on, right?"

Kitahara Tsune said excitedly, "At first I couldn't believe it, but I never expected that I would actually meet with you, General."

Zefa was quite pleased with the compliment and laughed, "You'd better hurry up and catch up. There will be someone to take care of the people on your ship."

Amidst the envious gazes of many naval soldiers, Kitahara Tsuneo calmly followed Zephyr and the others to Naval Headquarters.

Of course, all of the above were performed by Kitahara Tsuneo.

He naturally knew what Conqueror's Haki was.

During the Sabaody Archipelago incident, there was absolutely no loss of control over Conqueror's Haki.

There is nothing that cannot control this force.

This was exactly the performance he had anticipated.
