One Piece: The Will of Conqueror is the strongest

"You have gained the approval of the Will of Conquerors. You have helped the members of Baroque Works face reality, letting them know that your power is unstoppable, and you have obtained the Ninja Sword: Lightning Blade: Kiba!"

"Your words plunged Kuzan into self-doubt, disrupted his thoughts, forced him to confront reality, and made him realize his predicament. Your punch jolted him awake, and you gained Sage Mode: Ryuchi Cave."

As Brando lay on Banre's head, waiting for his injuries to heal, he received recognition from the village.

"Wuhu, the numbers are here!"

Brando's eyes lit up.

Previously, he couldn't beat Kuzan in a fistfight because his stats weren't high enough, and secondly, he lacked Armament Haki. Now, he has an additional buff that increases his strength.

Brando felt that even if they played again, his chances of winning wouldn't be very high. He still needed to learn Armament Haki; the Logia-type's mechanics were indeed unfair.

Brando did not leave immediately, but instead let Banre drift in the waters near Alabasta, because he would be teleported back to his original location after the Reverse Necromancy ended.

However, he has been using Shukaku's chakra to help Madara maintain this summoning technique, which is why he hasn't been teleported back.

The surface injuries have almost healed, but the broken bones won't heal quickly and will take some time. Brando isn't in a hurry.

After waiting for two full days and two nights until his injuries were completely healed, Brando finally had Banre release the Reverse Summoning Technique and returned to the battlefield where he had fought Kuzan.

The ice here has completely melted, leaving only some residual black flames still burning. Brando used his eye power to eliminate them.

"Your eyesight deteriorated after just one all-out battle?"

Brando could clearly feel the side effects of the kaleidoscope, but fortunately the impact wasn't too great, and he could withstand it.

During his battle with Kuzan, he dared not turn off his Mangekyou Sharingan, and would use his eye techniques or Susanoo skeleton for defense at any time, which put a great burden on him.

Kuzan was nowhere to be seen either; after all, he wouldn't stay in such a hot place for two days, but would have gone on his vacation.

"There's not much to do here in Paradise. There's a chance of encountering Celestial Dragons in Sabaody Archipelago, but let's learn Armament Haki first before trying to capture them!"

Brando decided not to continue following the Log Pose's path. Instead, he planned to go directly to the New World, capture a few guys, and use his Sharingan to read their memories and learn Armament Haki.

Even if you're using Observation Haki, it's still worth learning.

Moreover, there are many beings in the new world who are worthy of wielding power.

Brando sat directly inside Banre's body, letting Banre carry him to the New World.

Banre felt Brando in his mouth, his throat tickled, and he wanted to swallow, but after thinking about the consequences, he gave up.

"It's so humid! This kind of environment is very uncomfortable!"

Shukaku complained in the mental space.

It prefers dry and sunny environments; it doesn't even want to use chakra to condense its body and go out to play in such humid environments.

"Most of this world is sea; there's no way around it."

Brando closed his eyes, sensing the changes within Sage Mode itself.

The rewards from the villagers' approval are perfect, and the same goes for the Immortal Mode, which can be freely entered and exited.

At this moment, Brando's face changed. There was purple eyeshadow at the corner of his eyes, and his pupils turned into snake eyes. Two small Y-shaped dragon horns appeared on his forehead, making him look quite cute.

However, once the Sharingan is activated, the snake's pupils will transform into the shape of the Sharingan.

"When will we get out of this stinking snake's mouth? At least we can be out at sea."

Shukaku dislikes the snake-like spotted thunderbolt; in its eyes, it's just a spicy snack.

"It should be about five more days."

Brando didn't know the exact distance either.

However, Prince Luffy arrived at Sabaody Archipelago in just three months after setting sail from Windmill Village. If it weren't for Rayleigh's interference, he would probably have cleared the entire sea within a year.

Luffy and his crew traveled along the way, stopping frequently and occasionally getting into fights, which took them about three months.

Based on Banlei's speed, five days should be more than enough.

"Hmph, that's been too long, I'm going to sleep now."

Shukaku wasn't feeling well, so he decided to take a nap first.

Brando continued to feel the changes in his body.

"The power doesn't seem to be as much of a boost as in the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, but the ability to perceive the surroundings has improved, and these are scales?"

"Their defenses should have increased, and they also have regenerative abilities."

Brando checked the direction in which the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode was being strengthened.

After entering Sage Mode, I noticed changes on my skin, with scale-like things appearing on my surface that were very firm.

Meanwhile, the scales that Brando had forcibly plucked out quickly grew back.

Brando felt like he was a Devil Fruit user in a human-beast form.

"If I also eat the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type: Azure Dragon Form, will I get a special bonus?"

Brando suddenly realized this possibility.

Now that he has the Sage Mode buff stacked up, and if he adds another Zoan-type or Mythical Zoan-type stat, Brando feels like he could easily defeat the Four Emperors.

Brando didn't waste those five days. He stayed inside Madara's body but sent five shadow clones to the sea to practice Sage Mode and its coordination with other ninjutsu.

After a day of practice, Brando confirmed that Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode did not enhance the power of ninjutsu as much as Mount Myōboku, but it was superior in terms of versatility and included a Sage Technique: Inorganic Reincarnation.

Although Brando possesses Magnet Release, its actual power is only so-so, and its functionality is more prominent.

However, by manipulating Magnet Release through Inorganic Reincarnation, its power is directly enhanced, and the control becomes more precise, similar to how Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users can change their surroundings after awakening.

.....

During these five days, except for an hour when it stopped to eat, Banre spent the rest of its time moving.

Since following Brando, he has been going hungry from time to time, but Banre feels like his body has become stronger. Is it because he has been trained... or abused?

Banlei travels from the seabed to the New World and almost never gets lost because there are calm zones on both sides. He just needs to swim forward and passes by Fishman Island along the way.

Brando was initially tempted by the seafood, but his dislike for the Celestial Dragons ultimately overcame that, and he chose to learn Armament Haki first.

Brando felt that in this world, not knowing Armament Haki was like not knowing how to refine chakra in the ninja world.

Just as Kaido-sensei said, Haki [Will of Conqueror] is the strongest, and Armament Haki is also a form of Conqueror. As a villager, I must learn it!
